Re: Cannot access Previous versions from Win2K

Sorry about that...

Here goes.

We have a Win2K3 File server with Shadow copies scheduled twice daily on the
data drive ie d:\.
I rolled the previous versions client to all of our clients and then checked
that the previous versions tab appears when the user right clicks on a file
or folder, which it does..

My problem is that when i navigate to a file using win2000 SP4 which has
changed there are no previous versions listed and the buttons View, Copy,
Restore are grayed out...
If i then navigate to the same file usind WinXP SP2 the previous file is
listed..

I've even setup a test server using Win2k3 SP1 and the same happens..

Regards

Chris
