SYMPTOMS
When you set advanced permissions to a shared directory on a server running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Macintosh clients lose write access to the directory.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the advanced permissions on a directory in Windows 2000 do not have a one-to-one correspondence with the Services for Macintosh (SFM) shared directories, and SFM cannot implement security permissions as detailed as those implemented on a Windows 2000 directory. By design, when advanced write permissions are not granted, SFM restricts all writing to the directory.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem

- From a Macintosh client running Macintosh OS 8.1, mount both shares.
- Attempt to copy any file from the Macintosh client to both shares.
- When you attempt to copy a file to the share with Special access, you receive the following error message:
