DOCUMENT:Q267833 06-AUG-2002 [winnt] TITLE :Cannot Set NTFS Permissions on Clustered File Share Resource PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:winnt:4.0,7.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbenv kberrmsg ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you attempt to modify the NTFS permissions on a file that you have copied to a network share that is located on a cluster server as a File Share resource, the following error messages may be displayed: Object Picker cannot open because it cannot determine whether is joined to a domain. Unable to display the user selection dialog. Access is denied. CAUSE ===== This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions exist: - SQL 7.0 is installed on the cluster server and was configured as a Cluster resource in an active/passive configuration by using the SQL Failover Wizard. - The file share you are connecting to is hosted by a cluster server as a File Share resource. - The file share source is located on the same hard disk as SQL 7.0 on the cluster server, and is located in the same resource group as SQL 7.0. - You are attempting to modify NTFS permissions on a file that is located on the cluster server by using a user account that does not have administrator privileges on the cluster server. RESOLUTION ========== To prevent this behavior from occurring, create the File Share resource in a different cluster resource group, and on a different hard disk than the hard disk on which SQL 7.0 is installed.
