I have had many discussions about whether administering a NT 4 network from a win2k pro machine will cause problems. I can't remember the exact issues but one current one is Files become corrupt after changing permissions on a nt 4 server from a win2k pro laptop. Can anyone confirm or put to rest this quandry. Oh yes please give me references (i.e. Q articles, tech papers, etc.) I believe the story has changed and possibly become an urban legend. Thank you in advance for the help.

I have an problem. I don't search more because was only a test. But I can tell you that when I set some permission from Win2k to WinNT, users received an "access denied". I reset the permissions from an NT machine (here I received an message wich tell me that previously was used other verssions of ...) and all was OK. I don't have problems with files.

Also I have on both machines (WinNT & Win2K) the last service pack. I'm 99% sure that setting permission from Win2k don't corrupt files. I don't see anywhere some references about this problem. If you have experienced , describe us how happened this.
