SYMPTOMS
========
When you search for files on a Macintosh client computer, the computer may
temporarily stop responding (hang). This behavior occurs even though the
CatSearch function is disabled on the Macintosh volume the client is searching.
CAUSE
=====
The Macintosh client may be running an AppleScript that requests a CatSearch,
even though the CatSearch function is disabled.
When the CatSearch function is disabled on a Macintosh volume, the information is
passed to Macintosh clients when volume parameters are passed, and the clients
do not search volumes by requesting a CatSearch. Instead, they perform an
Enumerate request. However, Macintosh clients can run an AppleScript that
overrides the information passed to the client so the client can request a
CatSearch.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, alter or remove the AppleScript.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can verify whether or not the Macintosh client is using the CatSearch
function by performing a network trace during the slowness between the Macintosh
client and the Windows NT Server-based computer hosting the Macintosh volume.
