Removal of "Bypass Traverse Checking" Causes File Copy to Drop Streams (172930)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q172930 SYMPTOMS
Files contained in Macintosh volumes contain streams (special data content)
that include data fork information. Files that do not contain stream
information appear to Macintosh clients as text-only files. The reported
problem occurs after copying a file from one directory to another. The copy
operation could be performed from the computer running Windows NT Server or
by a Macintosh client; it made no difference. After the copy operation, the
target file stream was lost and the file appeared to Macintosh clients as a
text-only file.
This copy problem occurs on PDC or BDC servers, but not on a member server.
It also occurs when the Domain User Rights for "Bypass Traverse Checking"
(the default is Everyone) has been modified so no users are granted this
right for the Domain.
CAUSE
NTFS was making a check that precluded the copying of the streams in the
case where "Bypass Traverse Checking" was removed from user rights.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, restore the Domain User Right: Bypass Traverse
Checking to Everyone.
