Article Last Modified on 11/1/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q250466

SYMPTOMS

After you install Security Configuration Manager (SCM), you may experience the following problems:

  • Directory permissions may appear incorrect when you view them in Windows Explorer. For example, when you view existing permissions, the users and groups (if applied) are listed but none of the boxes are selectd, that is Full Control, Read, or Write, even though they may have those permissions.

    Existing directory permissions may be incorrect after using Windows Explorer to add or change permissions.

NOTE: These issues occur only on NTFS partitions, because FAT partitions can not have directory or file level permissions.

CAUSE

The Security Configuration Manager included with Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs starting with Service Pack 4 runs as a part of the Explorer.exe file and provides compatibility with Windows 2000. The new SCM incorrectly interprets existing directory security information.
