SYMPTOMS
========

After you apply Windows NT Server version 4.0 Service Pack 4 (and later), the
proxy addresses for directory entries that contain the following two Eastern
European characters are modified to random values:

- The Latin small letter z with caron (unicode 017e) is no longer converted to
  z.

- The Latin capital letter Z with caron (unicode 017d) is no longer converted
  to Z.

CAUSE
=====

In Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4 (and later), the two characters in the
"Symptoms" section of this article from CP 1250 (Central Europe) have been added
to CP 1252 (Latin I).

Microsoft official codepage definitions can be found at the following Web site:
