Replicating Files With Long File Names To LAN Manager Fails

This article was previously published under Q137724

The attempt to replicate a file with a long file name from a Windows NT export directory to a FAT import directory on a LAN Manager server fails. NO_SYNC.RP$ appears on the LAN Manager import directory.



Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 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.
