SYMPTOMS

When you make changes to the cluster share resource permissions after you install Cluster Server Service Pack 4 (SP4), your changes may not be saved.

CAUSE

Cluster Server made a change in Cluster Server SP4 to include smbshares. The NetShareSetInfo function is in Cluster Server SP4, but it does not match with what happened in earlier versions. For example, in Cluster Server Service Pack 3 (SP3) this function is imported from netapi to check and set the security upon a change.
