SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to modify the NTFS permissions on a file that you have copied
to a network share that is located on a cluster server as a File Share resource,
the following error messages may be displayed:

  Object Picker cannot open because it cannot determine whether
  <Network Name Resource> is joined to a domain.

  Unable to display the user selection dialog.
  Access is denied.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions exist:

- SQL 7.0 is installed on the cluster server and was configured as a Cluster
  resource in an active/passive configuration by using the SQL Failover Wizard.

- The file share you are connecting to is hosted by a cluster server as a File
  Share resource.

- The file share source is located on the same hard disk as SQL 7.0 on the
  cluster server, and is located in the same resource group as SQL 7.0.

- You are attempting to modify NTFS permissions on a file that is located on
  the cluster server by using a user account that does not have administrator
  privileges on the cluster server.

RESOLUTION
==========

To prevent this behavior from occurring, create the File Share resource in a
different cluster resource group, and on a different hard disk than the hard
disk on which SQL 7.0 is installed.
