NtfsServer problem on Windows 2000 Advanced Server

3004

I've installed Oracle 8.1.6 and iFS 1.0 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Everything else seems to work fine with iFS, but the NtfsServer always fails to start up.

Is this a compatibility problem between Oracle and Windows 2000? I have no drive letter O: so it should be free for iFS to use.

Here is the last entry from NtfsServer.log:

IFS is not supported on Windows 2000 Server or Client.

When do you -- Alan (Oracle) -- expect IFS will be supported on Windows 2000 Server and Client.
