SYMPTOMS

When you create a new folder in Windows NT Explorer under a Services for Macintosh (SFM) volume, the folder "New Folder" is created, and you are then able to type a name for this folder. However, when you try to rename the folder, the name reverts back to "New Folder" after a few seconds.

CAUSE

The problem occurs because of a combination of the SFM service and Windows NT Explorer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT Server 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2, 4.0 SP3, 4.0 SP4, and 4.0 SP5.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem does not occur if the new folder name is typed and then you press Enter within 5 seconds.
