SYMPTOMS
When multiple processes contend for a drive resource through the Novell
NetWare redirector (NWRDR), applications may intermittently fail to access
the drive resource.
When you try to connect to a NetWare server from the command prompt or batch file, the following error may be displayed:
The MMTA service operates successfully as long as another process does not create a drive-access conflict. Also, the problem does not occur when you connect to Microsoft Mail postoffices located on Microsoft Windows NT servers accessed through the Server Message Block (SMB) redirector. NOTE: Although this example discusses File Manager, Compaq Insight Manger, and MMTA for Windows NT, the problem can occur with other applications operating on Windows NT using Client Services for NetWare and NWRDR. CAUSE
During drive connection and disconnection I/O, the Windows NT CSRSS drive
table entry representing the NetWare drive connection becomes corrupted. A
NetWare client connection established under one process, such as the MMTA,
cannot be accessed by another process, such as through File Manager; if
access is attempted, an Access Denied message will be returned. The NWRDR
on Client Services for NetWare assigns a separate user context for each
process. This is not true for the SMB redirector, RDR. When multiple
processes begin to contend for a drive, the drive table entry can become
corrupted. Contention can occur for a number of reasons. The Windows NT
MMTA connects and disconnects dynamic drive resources. CIM periodically
accesses drive resources to obtain information. Also, File Manager can be
used to access drive resources.
RESOLUTIONBasesrv.dll has been corrected to prevent NetWare drive resources from becoming orphaned or corrupted. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
