APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q159178
SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Mail Windows client version 3.2 or newer running under
Windows NT 3.51 will not delete files on a postoffice located on a Novell
server's volume if filescan rights are not assigned.
CAUSE
Windows NT will perform a search command on the file before deleting or
erasing the file. The search command will reply a failure and the operating
system will not perform the delete or erase command causing the file to
become stranded.
WORKAROUND
Assign filescan rights to Microsoft Mail Windows client users operating
under Windows NT.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT 3.51.
A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regressions tested
and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
