| Inherited permissions and Windows NT4 and a Windows 2000 Server |
| The inheritance feature is new to Windows 2000. Since you might also have Windows NT4 |
| computers on the network, you should be aware of possible problems that could arise when using |
| both operating systems on the same network. |
| Since Windows NT4 doesn't know about the Windows 2000 inheritance model, the ACL Editor (the |
| dialog box that lists permissions) will show all permissions as normal, just as if they weren't |
| inherited at all. If you use extended attributes like Deny, you might also see a dialog box that |
| reminds you about nonstandard information. |
| As a rule, always try to use the same operating system version to view and change the permissions |
| created by that operating system. If this isn't possible, you can install a Windows 2000-style ACL |
| Editor on Windows NT4. The editor is part of the Security Configuration Manager (SCM), which is |
| available as a free download from the Microsoft Web site. SCM updates the ACL Editor on |
| Windows NT4 to look and behave similarly to the one on Windows 2000. |
| You can read more about issues associated with inheritance, the Windows 2000 ACL Editor, and |
| Windows NT4 in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article. |
