SYMPTOMS
If you try to remotely shut down a computer that has the Legal Notice dialog box displayed, the InitiateSystemShutdown API will wait indefinitely on it. Once you click OK on the dialog box, you can log on to the system like normal. You will see this behavior if you use an application such as Shutgui.exe or Shutdown.exe to remotely shut down the computer running Windows NT.



CAUSE
This problem was caused by a problem in Winlogon.exe



STATUS
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 4.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
