FRS messing up excel files

[Mike]

I have the problem that is stated in KB811370
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811370&Product=win2000

Excel files are renamed when they are saved.

The article says that SP4 will fix this problem. However, I have SP4
installed. Shouldn't this have fixed the problem?

My version of W2k is 5.00.2195
My version of NTFRS.exe is 5.0.2195.6709

Thanks....

Mike

SP4 should have fixed the problem (note SP4 is equivalent to Q815473 with
respect to FRS on W2K). You need to verify all replica member machines are
patched with SP4. If you have only a subset of the machines patched, then
you will likely still experience the Excel file renaming issue.

Also, if you have any machines running WS2K3, these must be patched to
Q823230.

I do have a w2k3 replica member. How do I get the hotfix described in
Q823230?

Patching with Q823230 seems to have worked. Thank you very much.
