Article Last Modified on 11/1/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5



This article was previously published under Q125857

SYMPTOMS

The NET.EXE command fails to return an errorlevel. For example, when you run a batch file containing the following commands

   net group group1 user1 /add
   if errorlevel 1 echo add failed
                



"add failed" does not get echoed, even when user1 is not successfully added to group1.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the Windows NT 3.5 version of the NET.EXE command. This problem does not exist in Windows NT 3.1.


STATUS

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