Directories Listed Many Times or Not at All on Mac. Volume (110483)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q110483

SYMPTOMS

When you access a Macintosh volume on a Windows NT Advanced Server computer from a Macintosh computer, sometimes you see multiple copies of your directory or you do not see your directory at all. This problem occurs when under the following conditions:

  • A main user directory is created with full control permissions granted to Everyone.
  • Each individual user is given a separate sub-directory with full control granted only to the Administrators group and the user.
  • More than 13 (roughly) users have similarly created directories.

WORKAROUND

Use Macintosh file permissions to control file and directory access in similar situations.

NOTE: You must use all Macintosh file permissions to resolve the problem. The problem still occurs if you mix Windows NT and Macintosh file permissions.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.10. This problem was corrected in Windows NT Server version 3.5.
