An Error Message Is Displayed After You Attempt to Rename a File or Folder on Macintosh AppleShare File Server (282957)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
This article was previously published under Q282957 SYMPTOMS On a Windows 2000-based client, you may receive the
following error message when you attempt to rename a folder that is located on
a Macintosh AppleShare file server: Error Renaming File
or Folder
Cannot rename Folder Name: Cannot
find the specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and
filename. CAUSE This behavior can occur because Windows 2000 sends a server
message block (SMB) open command when it renames objects, which is not
supported by the Macintosh operating system without an AppleShare Internet
Protocol (IP) update. RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, obtain the AppleShare IP update
from the following Apple Computer Web site: Microsoft
provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support.
This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not
guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact
information. MORE INFORMATION Windows 2000 now follows the SMB specifications more
closely than Windows NT 4.0. When you attempt to rename a folder, Windows 2000
attempts to open the folder object. The Macintosh operating system does not not
support this type of folder operation, so the rename procedure is
unsuccessful.
