NWRDR Cannot Perform UNC Operations on NDS Server Objects

 Last reviewed: November 18, 1997
Article ID: Q155559
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or the Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), the following command lines do not work: 

   dir \\ndstreename\cn=server_object.container.container\volume\subdir

   dir \\ndstreename\volume_object.container.container\subdir

CAUSE

The Multiple UNC Provider (MUP) does not correctly handle UNC names consisting of server objects instead of volume objects.

RESOLUTION

Use volume objects when using the MUP (and UNC path names).

An example of a successful command would be to do a directory listing to the container and not to the lower level subdirectory. 

   For example,
      Dir \\NTMARST\RED_41A_SYS.MAIN.MS
