Renaming User Account Does Not Keep Permissions in LAN Manager

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
• Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.2

SYMPTOMS

If you rename a user account on a Windows NT Server primary domain controller (PDC) and the user account has specific permissions on a Microsoft LAN Manager Server backup domain controller (BDC), the new user account does not have the same permissions on the LAN Manager BDC's network share.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem:

1. Change the access control lists (ACLs) of all files on the LAN Manager Server to reference groups rather than individual users before you rename the user account.



2. After you rename the user account, change the ACLs of the files to include the new user name.
