SYMPTOMS
When a user is attempting to open more than 256 files on a Microsoft File and Printer Services (FPNW) server, they may receive an indication that too many files are opened on the remote server.

One such indication might be the following error message:

Too many files are opened on a remote server. This error should only be returned by the NT redirector on a remote drive.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because there is a hardcoded limit of 256 open files per user.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
