WORKAROUND
There is no workaround for this issue. IIS is not intended for use on Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, and is not supported. Microsoft recommends that customers running IIS 4.0 on Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, protect their systems by uninstalling IIS 4.0.
This issue does not exist in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Internet Information Services.
