Macintosh System 7.5 File Find Returns Error -5000 (127931)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q127931 SYMPTOMS
When you use Macintosh System 7.5 File Find to access a Windows NT server
with Services for Macintosh installed, the following error message appears
if you encounter a folder or file that you do not have access to:
Find File Reports: incorrect appletalk access for this folder.
Server may have gone off-line -5000.
CAUSE
Because Windows NT Server does not support the FpCatSearch (Catalog Search)
API (what the Macintosh client normally calls to do the File-Find), the
Macintosh client enumerates all files and folders on the disk (using the
FpEnumerate API) and filters for matches itself. Under System 7.1, if the
Enumerate call on a folder fails because a user does not have access to the
folder, the Macintosh client keeps enumerating directories that it does
have access to, and continues the search. A trace (sniff) shows that under
System 7.5 Macintosh clients display the error noted above and terminate
the search when they encounter a directory that cannot be enumerated,
because the client does not have access to the directory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server version
3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
