SYMPTOMS

If you create a batch file (for example, TEST) that contains a carriage return and linefeed character, and you direct this file to the NET SESSION command as follows,

NET SESSION /DELETE <TEST



the command will request a response with the statement,

Do you want to continue this operation(Y/N) [Y]



but then it will return the error:

No valid response was provided.


0D 0A (carriage return and linefeed) are valid characters.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add the /Y parameter to provide the default Yes response. For example:

NET SESSIONS /DELETE /Y



The /Y parameter is not documented at this time.

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.
