SYMPTOMS
When you run a package from a Package Command Manager (PCM) window on a
Macintosh client, you receive the following error message:
Error -39 in File Cpackage.cpp, Line 570 eofErr.
End of File
Command Failed to Execute
Error -39 in FileCTable.cpp, Line 198 eofErr.
End of File.
Also, if you use Resedit to examine the Macintosh file, it will not have a
resource fork.
CAUSE
Renaming a Macintosh file to comply with the 8.3 naming convention and then
sending it out as a package causes the Systems Management Server Scheduler
service not to require the Windows NT file system (NTFS) when distributing
the file. Without this requirement, the resource fork is lost.
When the Scheduler creates a package for distribution, it checks for files
with long filenames. If such a file is detected, the Scheduler sets a flag
requiring NTFS for the package destination. The despooler should not
attempt to distribute the package when it detects the flag. For more
information on this behavior, see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
139589
Distribution of Files with Long Filenames Require NTFS
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not rename Macintosh files using the 8.3
naming format.
