Make sure that the UseUnicodeFilenames option is set as follows in your options
file:

       UseUniCodeFileNames Yes

The Microsoft implementation of Appleshare in Service for Macintosh remaps some
mac characters (0 through 255 I believe) which are invalid in the NTFS
namespace to a user/application defined area in Unicode, which makes the names
containing these characters only accessible in Unicode.

The current ADSM Win32 client is not fully unicode enabled so the above
mentioned option is required to force the
object names to be obtained from the filesystem in Unicode (they are converted
to something else internally).

Since there are no corresponding code points in non-unicode codepages for these
characters, the codepage
specific (i.e. non-unicode) versions of filesystem Win32 api's replace these
characters with ? characters to indicate that
the characters are not valid in the namespace.

Hope this helps ....

Subject: Problems with NT MAC volume files


I am having difficulty with certain files in our NT MAC volume.

Example of Folder Name:
MAC\users\ht8j\ABA?ABNeca? APNEA?ABOPX
(The ?'s are a / in the Mac world)

We are receiving the following error messages in our error file:

09/21/1998 05:45:50 ANS1256E Cannot make file/directory


From the list I see that this was supposed to be fixed with ptf 5 of the
WIN32 client.  It does not appear to be fixed.

Has this been fixed in any hotfix?
(I have renamed the files to get them backed up, but need to fix the
problem)



Thanks,
Ron Clarke
