User Manager for Domains Does Not Set Correct Access (127864)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q127864 SYMPTOMS
When you run User manager on a computer running Windows NT and create a new
user account with the Profile Local Path specifying <DRIVE>%USERNAME%
(where <drive> is NTFS formatted), the directory that is created matches
the username and the permissions are set so that only the specified user
can access the directory.
When you run Windows NT Server Tools User Manager for Domains on a computer
running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups and create a new user account
with the Profile Local Path specifying <DRIVE>%USERNAME% (where <drive> is
NTFS formatted), the directory that is created has the permissions set so
that everyone has access to the user's directory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server Tools. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create new users from a computer running
Windows NT Workstation or Server in the domain.
You can still use Windows NT Server Tools to administer existing users.
