ID: Q181928

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you save policy files directly to a NetWare version 4.11 server and use Client Services for NetWare, you may receive the following error:

Unable to open s:\public\andyl.pol: error 1317 occurred

This error will occur even if the Windows NT computer is not going through Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), but using Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) to connect directly to the Novell server.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack

After you apply the fix, shut down your system properly and restart.

NOTE: Service Pack 3 must be applied to the computer running Windows NT 4.0 prior to applying this fix.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.
