SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use Windows NT 3.1 User Manager to administer a beta Windows NT Server 3.5, the following STOP message may appear:

User Manager for Domains

 A device attached to the system is not functioning.

This message may appear only when you attempt to administer a Windows NT Server 3.5 that is not a domain controller.



CAUSE
This message appears when the Windows NT 3.1 User Manager for Domains reads information incorrectly from the Registry of the Windows NT Server 3.5.



STATUS
