SYMPTOMS
You receive different results when trying to access a share from a Windows
NT client versus a Windows for Workgroups client if the share is on an NTFS
partition and the NTFS directory permissions have been revoked for the user
on this share.
As a result, from the Windows for Workgroups computer, you can access a
subdirectory of this share if you have permission on it, but from the
Windows NT client, you cannot access the share or any subdirectory under it.
CAUSE
The server returns an SMB_ERR_NO_FILES response to the Windows for
Workgroups client and an STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED response to the Windows NT
client.
WORKAROUND
Directly share the subdirectory when you must revoke permissions on its
parent share.
