SYMPTOMS
The following message occurs in File Manager when you attempt to browse
directories on a Novell NetWare 3.11 or 3.12 server volume:
CAUSEA check was put into the Service Pack 4 version of Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) because of the possibility of a NetWare Server assigning a duplicate directory handle. This fix caused a regression in Windows NT because it did not differentiate between directory handles and print queue IDs. RESOLUTIONCheck each Volume Control Block (VCB) to determine whether it is a print queue or not before invalidating the handles. MORE INFORMATION
CSNW uses a single DWORD union to represent directory-specific or printer-
specific information in its record of a mapping, or Volume Control Block
(VCB). The value in the union depends on the resource type for that VCB;
the resource type can be either print or disk. The fix for duplicate
directory handle assignment did not check the resource type. Therefore a
print queue ID of 0xf903004f would also appear to represent a directory
handle of 0x3, because the second byte in the union represents a directory
handle if the resource type is disk.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51
with Service Pack 4. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT
3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack,
