I try to get the short name of a file placed in a Novell 5.1 Volume
With this function ZwQueryDirectoryFile in my filter driver under XP, but
not valid short name is returned , this function works fine in 2000.
Any one know some other method to get a file short name under XP , in a
filter driver in IRP_MJ_CREATE.

Thanks for you help.

Henry,

Could you please answer some questions about what you are seeing:

  • Are you saying if you access the exact same NetWare system from
    Windows 2000 you can get the short name but if you access it from an XP
    box you can not?

  • Whose NetWare redirector are you using on the two versions of NT,
    Microsoft’s or Novell’s?

  • Does this occur with any file on NetWare or is it a specific file you
    are having a problem with?
