SYMPTOMS
========
When you view Services For Macintosh (SFM) Volume and Directory Permissions, the
primary group account is listed as <Account Unknown>. Macintosh clients
may report being unable to connect to Windows NT volumes, or unable to access
some directories within the volume.
CAUSE
=====
The Windows NT Server computer is set up as a stand-alone server, and has been
moved from a domain to a workgroup. By default, when a SFM volume is created,
the primary group is set to the domain users group. When the server is moved to
a workgroup, the domain accounts are no longer available, and the primary group
will not choose another group without administrator intervention.
RESOLUTION
==========
An administrator will have to modify the Volume and Directory permissions for
the Macintosh volume to set the primary group to an existing group.
