Greetings everyone,
I am extremely rusty with Windows NT and just started a new job where I
need to get familiarized with a server environment consisting of
Windows NT servers performing various functions.
I was asked by an employee to give them permissions to a specific
folder on an NT Server. Piece of cake...or so I thought!
The folder in question was located off the root of a second hard drive
on this machine. It is an NTFS partition and all of the existing
permissions on this folder (given to 3 other domain members) looked as
they should. I added this employee to the existing list and granted
her full access to the folder. She tried to connect with no luck -
Access denied.
I started to dig a little deeper. Turns out this folder is a virtual
directory under the company's internal FTP server. Just out of
curiosity, I tried to view the permissions on the root folder of the
company's internal FTP and got the following error message:
"The security information for X:\Inetpub\ftproot is not standard and
cannot be displayed. Windows NT 3.x and 4.x support certain features
such as Deny Access Control Entries but cannot edit security
information which uses these features. The information may have been
modified by a computer running Windows NT 5.0, which supports these
features and can edit information which uses them.
Do you want to overwrite the current security information?"
This is a widely accessed ftp site, which I dont dare experiment with,
so Im hesitant to make any changes.
This message has me stumped though. This server is a backup domain
controller for a Windows NT domain. There are Windows 2000 and XP
clients on the network, but no other Windows 2000 Servers attached to
this particular domain.
This is running NT with service pack 6, and Im wondering if one hard
drive may have existed with the original NT installation, and then
another drive was added after the upgrade to SP6.
Could this cause this discrepancy? Nobody here seems to know what may
have caused this, and I can't seem to find much info in the Microsoft
KB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
-Ben
