SYMPTOMS
When you specify the expiration date for a user name by typing the command "NET USER   /EXPIRES:MM,DD,YY" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS Command Prompt, the following error message appears:

An illegal date format has been supplied.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the forward slash (/) as a separator for the date instead of the comma.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5, and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
