MacFile Volume Icon Changes after Permissions Are Changed

ID: Q165706

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

When you mount a Windows NT shared volume from a Macintosh client, you may see a generic file icon instead of a standard Windows NT Connected Drive icon on the desktop.

MORE INFORMATION

This can be caused by assigning LIST permissions to the logon user or group used by the client to mount the shared volume. By default, LIST uses the following NTFS permissions:


   Special Directory Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)

   Special File Access:
   N/A

To resolve the problem, modify the NTFS permissions to allow the user group to have READ access on the volume. This change would provide the following permissions:


   Special Directory Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)

   Special File Access:
   READ    (R)
   EXECUTE (E)
