SYMPTOMS
If you upgrade to Windows XP, the Windows Services for Unix 2.0 redirector may not work and you may receive a message that indicates that the Windows Services for UNIX client redirector is disabled because of problems.



CAUSE
When Windows Services for Unix 2.0 was released, it was supported on both Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000-based computers. This problem occurs because changes that are made in Windows XP require strict driver checking which causes problems in the Windows Services for UNIX redirector.

The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.
