Security Settings File Error with Shared Windows Installation (111575)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q111575 SYMPTOMS
If you used SETUP /N to set up a shared copy of Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11 and you have Novell NetWare installed as an
additional network, you may receive one of the following error messages
when you use the NET command:
Error reading security-settings file.
-or-
Error 2: The specified file was not found.
An error occurred accessing the security settings file.
CAUSE
These errors occur when your NetWare search path has the shared Windows
directory before your local Windows directory, or your current directory is
the shared Windows directory.
In both cases, Windows for Workgroups is finding a security settings file
that is not valid for your system.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change your search path so your local Windows
directory is listed before your shared Windows directory, or change your
current directory to something other than the shared Windows directory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
