SYMPTOMS

NETX clients may receive the following error when attempting to change to a subdirectory on a File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) volume:
Invalid Directory

CAUSE

This error was caused by not impersonating the user on a call to open a directory for searching when it was a relative open (relative to the root directory open for the share). The fix was to impersonate the user before doing the open of the directory.
