according to most of the reference materials I have seen the "/um" switch is
meant ot work only with windows 2000

However it appears to have a function in server 2003, e.g. the only way I
could get the batch file below to work was to use the "/um" switch at the
end of the command line

Is there any documentation for this switch in server 2003?

Am I correct that "/um" does indeed have a function in server 2003?
