NET.EXE Command

I have 2 NT4 Servers with SP6a and all of the latest patches that Microsoft
has cared to release. Nothing has been installed on either of them recently
and they have been running very stable. But, for some strange reason, the
"NET USE" command in the logon script doesn't work anymore. I keep getting
the following error.....

"NET.EXE - Entry point not found."
"The procedure entry point DelayLoadFailureHook could not be located in the
dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

For the most part, these 2 servers just sit there and do their thing. I am
the only person who works on them locally. Nothing has been installed on
either one for a couple of months, yet they just started exhibiting this
behaviour about a week ago. And, it is happening on BOTH servers. They
popup one of these error messages for each NET USE command in the batch file.


Is there some sort of time bomb built into NT to force it into retirement?
What am I missing here? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I'm pulling
my hair out and I don't have much left.

I'm pretty sure that you'll find that something DID change on those systems
recently.

The latest version of Kernel32.dll for NT 4.0 Server SP 6a is version
4.0.1381.7226 dated 25 July 2003, which was part of MS03-029.

A lot of other people have seen that problem based on a Google search, and
the best description is that it started happening after they downloaded a
media CODEC (NimoCODEC), and then to fix it, they just reinstalled DirectX
and Windows MediaPlayer 9.
