Hello,
I had a problem that I am trying to determine the root cause of a problem.

This is a Windows 2000 Std. Server SP 4 with all current patches.

I received a call indicating that a user was getting "access denied" when
trying to run a common network application.

When I tried to view security there was NO security tab. I then went to
the
root folder. The folder showed the correct rights. I decided to reset
permissions on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable
permissions.

This generated numerous errors, including access denied. I then tried to
take ownership; getting similar results.

I felt there was something wrong with the file system. I enabled scandisk
on the drive that houses this application and rebooted.

When scandisk was complete I have the following msg in the event log:

Checking file system on D:
The type of the file system is NTFS.


A disk check has been scheduled.

4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
7312906 total allocation units on disk.

********************************

This being complete I went back to the directory to check security on the
executable file. When I got there file was missing. I restored the exe
from
tape and tried to launch it. It now complained about a missing dll in the
same directory. I restored that also. After this restore it complained
about missing another dll. To resolve the problem I ended up deleting
everything in the folder and restoring it from tape.

Now I am trying to determine the root cause for the problem.

The hard drive did not show any errors.
The raid card did not show any errors.
The bios did not show any errors.

I don't believe the problem to be hardware related...leaving either the OS
or the application.

Can you provide me with any information in helping to determine the root
cause of this problem so that I can prevent it from reoccurring?
