SYMPTOMS
When you use Srvinfo.exe that ships with the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit against a server that was upgraded to Windows NT 4.0 from a previous version of Windows NT, the protocols may be listed as being from the previous version (even though they were upgraded to the Windows NT 4.0 version of those protocols).



CAUSE
The following keys were not updated during the upgrade process:

NWLink NetBIOS

RESOLUTION
Use Registry Editor to change the MajorVersion from 3 to 4 and change the MinorVersion from 51(decimal) to 0. To do this, perform the following steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and edit each of the earlier protocol subkeys to the following:

MajorVersion:REG_DWORD:0x4

MinorVersion: REG_DWORD:0

 Quit Registry Editor and restart your computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
