We have a Windows NT 4.0 network and I have set up various directories with NTFS permissions. For some strange reason, several users are having problems accessing the directories because they are being told that “Access is Denied”.
When I attempt to view the NTFS permissions on the directories, I get the following error:
—————–Begin———————–
The security information for c:\share\file.txt is not standard and cannot be displayed. Windows NT 3.x and 4.x support certain features such as Deny Access Control Entries but cannot edit security informaiton which uses these features.
The information may have been modified by a computer running Windows NT 5.0, which supports these features and can edit the information which uses them.
You do not have permission to change the security information for this resource.

First of all, I am the domain admin and not only have access to everything, I set up the permissions on these directories in the first place. Also, we do not have a Windows NT 5.0 (Windows 2000) machine anywhere on our network.
I have never seen this error before and have no idea what it means. Can someone tell me what the problem is?
