SYMPTOMS

When you review a software inventory in Resource Explorer for Microsoft Windows 98-based or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition-based (Me) clients, you observe that "Microsoft Corporation" is listed as a manufacturer.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the Locproxy.exe file which collects the software inventory information from Windows 98-based and Windows Me-based clients, has the header information misspelled. The Company Name property in the header lists "Microsoft Corporation" instead of "Microsoft Corporation."

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
