SYMPTOMS
========

Consistency Checking is not scheduled to run at the exact interval specified.

For example, if Consistency Checking is set to start at 1:00AM with an interval
of 24 hours, and if it takes 30 minutes to complete, it will start at 1:30PM
next day rather then at 1:00 AM as expected.

CAUSE

The next scheduled time (which is based on time interval) was set after a full
Consistency Checking was done.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information,

Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows
