SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to modify the NTFS permissions on a file that you have copied to a network share that is located on a cluster server as a File Share resource, the following error messages may be displayed:
Object Picker cannot open because it cannot determine whether
Network Name Resource is joined to a domain.

Unable to display the user selection dialog.
Access is denied.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions exist:
•SQL 7.0 is installed on the cluster server and was configured as a Cluster resource in an active/passive configuration by using the SQL Failover Wizard.
•The file share you are connecting to is hosted by a cluster server as a File Share resource.
•The file share source is located on the same hard disk as SQL 7.0 on the cluster server, and is located in the same resource group as SQL 7.0.
•You are attempting to modify NTFS permissions on a file that is located on the cluster server by using a user account that does not have administrator privileges on the cluster server.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this behavior from occurring, create the File Share resource in a different cluster resource group, and on a different hard disk than the hard disk on which SQL 7.0 is installed.
