Multiple Bugs in Security Configuration Manager MMC Snap-In

ID: Q218934


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 SP4


SYMPTOMS

Several issues have been found when using the Security Configuration Manager (SCM) MMC Snap-in that ships with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4:

  • When using SCM to perform a system analysis, groups that have been configured to restrict membership are not being flagged when their membership violates the security attributes that has been set within SCM.


  • When setting DACL properties on a folder to not inherit from its parent and then changing SACL properties on the same object, the DACL inherit property will change from not to inherit to inherit.


  • After adding a registry key with SCM and then setting permissions on that key, the user is presented with file permissions rather than registry permissions.
