- Microsoft Windows 95 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Server Tools on a Windows 95 client and you create a new user for
the domain with a home directory on an NT file system (NTFS) volume, the default
permissions are incorrect. The default permissions are "EVERYONE FULL CONTROL."
The permissions should be "<username> FULL CONTROL," where the user name
is the name of the user that was created.

RESOLUTION
==========

Change the permissions manually to "<username> FULL CONTROL," or create
the user account from a Windows NT Server or Workstation running Server Tools.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions 3.5,
3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
