Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (4)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 3rd parameter IsRoot has been changed from boolean* to PBOOLEAN.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	Type of 4th parameter Timeout has been changed from DWORD* to PULONG.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 1st parameter server has been changed from wchar_t (2 bytes) to char (1 byte).	Memory stored by pointer may be incorrectly initialized by applications.
2	Base type of 2nd parameter service has been changed from wchar_t (2 bytes) to char (1 byte).	Memory stored by pointer may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

Problems with Constants (3)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant DS_PING_FLAGS has been changed from 0x0000FFFF to 0x000FFFFF.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant DSGETDC_VALID_FLAGS has been changed from ( DS_FORCE_REDISCOVERY \| DS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_REQUIRED \| DS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_PREFERRED \| DS_GC_SERVER_REQUIRED \| DS_PDC_REQUIRED \| DS_BACKGROUND_ONLY \| DS_IP_REQUIRED \| DS_KDC_REQUIRED \| DS_TIMESERV_REQUIRED \| DS_WRITABLE_REQUIRED \| DS_GOOD_TIMESERV_PREFERRED \| DS_AVOID_SELF \| DS_ONLY_LDAP_NEEDED \| DS_IS_FLAT_NAME \| DS_IS_DNS_NAME \| DS_RETURN_FLAT_NAME \| DS_RETURN_DNS_NAME ) to ( DS_FORCE_REDISCOVERY \| DS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_REQUIRED \| DS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_PREFERRED \| DS_GC_SERVER_REQUIRED \| DS_PDC_REQUIRED \| DS_BACKGROUND_ONLY \| DS_IP_REQUIRED \| DS_KDC_REQUIRED \| DS_TIMESERV_REQUIRED \| DS_WRITABLE_REQUIRED \| DS_GOOD_TIMESERV_PREFERRED \| DS_AVOID_SELF \| DS_ONLY_LDAP_NEEDED \| DS_IS_FLAT_NAME \| DS_IS_DNS_NAME \| DS_TRY_NEXTCLOSEST_SITE \| DS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_6_REQUIRED \| DS_RETURN_FLAT_NAME \| DS_RETURN_DNS_NAME ).	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant UF_SETTABLE_BITS has been changed from ( UF_SCRIPT \| UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE \| UF_LOCKOUT \| UF_HOMEDIR_REQUIRED \| UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD \| UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE \| UF_ACCOUNT_TYPE_MASK \| UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD \| UF_MNS_LOGON_ACCOUNT \| UF_ENCRYPTED_TEXT_PASSWORD_ALLOWED \| UF_SMARTCARD_REQUIRED \| UF_TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION \| UF_NOT_DELEGATED \| UF_USE_DES_KEY_ONLY \| UF_DONT_REQUIRE_PREAUTH \| UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED \| UF_TRUSTED_TO_AUTHENTICATE_FOR_DELEGATION \| UF_NO_AUTH_DATA_REQUIRED ) to ( UF_SCRIPT \| UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE \| UF_LOCKOUT \| UF_HOMEDIR_REQUIRED \| UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD \| UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE \| UF_ACCOUNT_TYPE_MASK \| UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD \| UF_MNS_LOGON_ACCOUNT \| UF_ENCRYPTED_TEXT_PASSWORD_ALLOWED \| UF_SMARTCARD_REQUIRED \| UF_TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION \| UF_NOT_DELEGATED \| UF_USE_DES_KEY_ONLY \| UF_DONT_REQUIRE_PREAUTH \| UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED \| UF_TRUSTED_TO_AUTHENTICATE_FOR_DELEGATION \| UF_NO_AUTH_DATA_REQUIRED \| UF_USE_AES_KEYS \| UF_PARTIAL_SECRETS_ACCOUNT ).	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.
