This is a bug, not an exploit

Product(s):

MSSQL Server 6.5 (SP3)
Windows NT 4.0 (SP3)

Problem:

Y2K is a leap year (before we go any further on this issue, check your
sources, because it is...).

A scheduled backup job for 02-29-2000 cannot be entered.  Dates 02-28 and
03-01 can be entered, and the day of week is appropriately changed (i.e.
from Monday 02-28 to Wednesday 03-01).

No other functionality of SQL Server seems to be impaired (all other tests
passed).

Microsoft has been notified.

I have looked in the MS KB and found nothing relating to this issue.

Comments welcome

Regards,

--Steve Kastl
