TITLE   :SFM: File Date and Time Stamp Change with Get Info
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER:4.00
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbbug4.00 kbfix4.00 kbfile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The time and date stamp changes when a Macintosh client performs a Get Info
("Command+I") and selects the 'Locked' option for a file that resides on a
computer running Windows NT Server where Services for Macintosh (SFM) is
installed.

CAUSE
=====

Windows NT incorrectly considers this a file update. This is not the
default behavior for AppleShare servers.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Technical Support to obtain the
following fix, or wait for the next Windows NT service pack.

This fix should have the following time stamp:

   02/03/98  02:10p               130,352 Sfmsrv.sys (Intel)
   02/03/98  03:07p               234,064 Sfmsrv.sys (Alpha)
