SUMMARY

When you mount a Windows NT shared volume from a Macintosh client, you may see a generic file icon instead of a standard Windows NT Connected Drive icon on the desktop.

MORE INFORMATION

This can be caused by assigning LIST permissions to the logon user or group used by the client to mount the shared volume. By default, LIST uses the following NTFS permissions: 
   Special Directory Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)

   Special File Access:
   N/A

To resolve the problem, modify the NTFS permissions to allow the user group to have READ access on the volume. This change would provide the following permissions: 
   Special Directory Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)

   Special File Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)
APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
