Article ID: Q181928
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare

SYMPTOMS

When you save policy files directly to a NetWare version 4.11 server and use Client Services for NetWare, you may receive the following error: 

   Unable to open s:\public\andyl.pol: error 1317 occurred
This error will occur even if the Windows NT computer is not going through Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), but using Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) to connect directly to the Novell server.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the following fix or wait for the next Windows NT service pack.

This fix should have the following time stamps:
