Shared Folders Drive Subdirectories Are Shared Improperly

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The SNA Server 3.0 shared folders gateway (SFGW) service allows users to share the root directory of the drive from SNA Server Manager. You can also share subdirectories on that drive, but these shares are not persistent. If the SFGW service is stopped, all share information is lost. When you restart SFGW, it shares only the root directory.

CAUSE

When SFGW created the drive, the drive was considered a non-permanent drive, similar to a floppy disk. Shares created on this type of drive disappear when the drive does; that is, when a disk is removed or the SFGW service is stopped.

RESOLUTION

A fix is available to correct this problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
