SP4 Cluster Shares Must Be Reset to Recognize Added Subdirectories (194831)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q194831 SYMPTOMS Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 contains an updated Cluster
Server File Share Resource. The updated resource extends the original
capabilities of this resource type to allow multiple shares from a single
resource. The enhancement prevents the need to use multiple file share
resources to create large numbers of shares. Use of this enhancement
dramatically reduces overhead and simplifies manageability of large numbers of
shares.
However, the version contained in Service Pack 4 does not
observe dynamic updates to the subdirectory structure. When using the new
option to create subdirectory shares, the resource does not acknowledge dynamic
changes to the subdirectory structure and only responds to these changes the
next time the resource is brought online. To add or remove a subdirectory
share, all shares managed by the single File Share resource must be taken
offline and then brought online.
RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for
Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. For information on obtaining
the latest service pack, please go to: For information on obtaining the individual software update,
contact Microsoft Product Support Services. For a complete list of Microsoft
Product Support Services phone numbers and information on support costs, please

version 4.0.
This problem
was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack
5.
