Thanks Richard, I have to agree -- I'll see if they'll give Win Services for Unix a shot.

First of all. QNTC is flakey at best on all releases. I would love to see IBM fix this, but I digress :-)

Are you copying files from the iSeries to the Windows boxes or using Netserver to talk from the PC's to the iSeries ?

If using the iSeries to copy files to the Windows server, consider putting Windows Services for Unix on the Windows box and enabling an NFS share. After installed Windows Services for Unix you can enable an NFS share and simply mount an IFS folder so that it can directly access the NFS share. No user ID/password stuff to worry about when copying files back and forth from the iSeries via CPY or whatever mechanism you're using. Almost sounds like a corrupted object or some wierd authority thing getting you. I love generic CPF errors like CPE3474 :-)

subject: QNTC and Windows mirroring

I have a customer that has some kind of mirroring going on between two
machines, call them A and B.  On the AS400, I have a links to directory
Users on both machines, i.e.

ADDLNK OBJ('/QNTC/A/Users') NEWLNK('/A')
ADDLNK OBJ('/QNTC/B/Users') NEWLNK('/B')

I have the same userid and password on the AS400 as on the PCs in question.

Using Windows Explorer, I can see \\A\Users\somedir\somefile and
\\B\Users\somedir\somefile.

Using WRKLNK, I can see /A/somedir, but no files at all, and cannot see
/B/somedir (although I do see other directories on /B).

Authorities (according to Windows Explorer) are the same on both machines.

I tried WRKLNK '/B' again and this time got "File system error occurred. Error number 3474." WRKMSGD CPE3474 shows

  Message . . . . :   Unknown system state.
Cause . . . . . : The operation failed due to an unknown system state. See any messages in the job log and correct any errors that may indicated and
    then retry the operation.

And there are no other messages in the joblog.

Any idea what's going on?  I think they're running Windows Server 2003;
the AS400 is v5r3 and WRKPTFGRP shows

PTF Group             Level  Status
SF99530                6142  Installed
