SYMPTOMS

When a Macintosh client performs a tree copy from the Macintosh to a Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server running Services for Macintosh (SFM), and then another tree copy from the SFM volume to another tree on an SFM volume, the long filenames of the final destination tree are converted to 8.3 names as displayed in WinFile. Source files in this operation contain trailing periods or spaces in their name.

When you view the destination tree from a command prompt or from the Macintosh client, the filenames are correct.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.5.
