SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Win2000+SP1

PROBLEM

    Ian  Middleton  found  following.   After  applying  SP1 the RUNAS
    command fails  to work  producing a  Microsft Visual  C++ run time
    error, abnormal program termination.

    Further investigation reveals  the under SP1  the machine name  is
    required to make the RUNAS command work. ie the CMD files becomes:

        runas /profile /user:cpc200eng\administrator ntbackup

    where cpc200eng is machine name.

    Preliminary  investigation  reveals  the  uninstalling the service
    pack  did  not  revert  the  system  back, the RUNAS comamnd still
    failed.

SOLUTION

    MS have confirmed this is a bug in Win2000 SP1.  See
