Directory Share Disappears After Computer Restart (106112)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
This article was previously published under Q106112 SYMPTOMS
You are able to configure the security of a sub-directory on an NTFS
partition such that if a share is created on the sub-directory, the
share disappears the next time you restart your computer.
CAUSE
The following accounts have full control of all directories on an NTFS
partition, by default: Administrators, Creator Owner, and System. If
you share a directory that is more than one directory below the root
(C:\Level1\Level2 for example), and the security permissions on the
directory have the Administrator and System accounts removed, the
share disappears the next time you restart your computer. It does not
matter which accounts are included in the security permissions of the
share, only those of the directory.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the System or Administrator accounts have security
permissions on the directory being shared.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version
3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
