Incomplete User List with Windows 95 User-Level Security

 * }

Q135147

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
Your Windows 95 system is configured for user-level security with a Windows NT system as the security provider, but when you try to add a user in a shared folder's properties, you do not see a full list of users.

-or-

Some users on the network who do not have an account in the user list from the security provider can access your shared Windows 95-based computer.

CAUSE
This problem can occur when the security provider is a Windows NT workstation that is a member of a Windows NT domain. The user list in the Add Users dialog box is the list of local user accounts defined on the Windows NT workstation, but access to the Windows 95-based computer is controlled by the accounts in the Windows NT domain.

RESOLUTION
Use the list of user and group accounts from the Windows NT domain. To do so, specify the name of the domain instead of the name of the Windows NT workstation on the Access Control tab of the Network tool in Control Panel.

To use the list of user and group accounts from the Windows NT workstation, you must remove the Windows NT workstation from the domain.

MORE INFORMATION
User-level security in a Windows NT environment is supported for Windows 95 only when the security provider is a standalone Windows NT workstation (a workstation that is not a member of a domain) or a Windows NT domain.
