The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51 include the utility
Jetpack.exe that can be used to compact a WINS or DHCP database. This utility is
located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 subdirectory.

If you type "JETPACK /?" (without the quotation marks) at a command prompt, it
will report an incorrect usage syntax.

The correct command line syntax for Jetpack.exe is:

  JETPACK.EXE <database name> <temp database name>

For example:

  C:\NT\SYSTEM32\DHCP\JETPACK.EXE DHCP.MDB TMP.MDB

STATUS
======

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.
