SYMPTOMS

If you log on to a multiple-user Macintosh-based computer that is running either OS 9.0.4 or 9.1, you cannot use Microsoft User Authentication Module (UAM) to connect to a Windows Server 2003-based server. When you start Chooser, click Appleshare, click the Windows Server 2003-based server, and then click Microsoft UAM, you are returned immediately to Chooser. Microsoft UAM does not open.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if your account is configured to have limited access. Microsoft UAM items are displayed as documents in Macintosh-based computers. If you have limited access, the documents must be shared out from the group Shared folder and added to the Allowed list for you to access it. However, if the administrator shares out the Microsoft UAM item and adds the object to the Allowed list, the item is treated as a strict document, and it cannot find the program that created it.

WORKAROUND

According to the Macintosh Help center, some programs and documents do not work for limited users. If you find one of the programs or documents that does not work, it is recommended that you ask the administrator to change your status from a limited user to a normal user to work around this issue.
