SYMPTOMS
When the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool tries to determine if a remote Windows NT 4.0-based computer contains hard disks that do not use the NTFS file system, you receive the following error message:

Unable to determine the computer file system type.(3.2)



CAUSE
This error message occurs because the MBSA tool enumerates the drives, but a registry check cannot verify whether the drives are hard disks because of a missing registry key in Windows NT 4.0.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the MBSA tool.
