RE: Found an (ugly) way to delete an IFS directory structure from a Vista computer

Strange, I know that vista will try to use SMB2.0 first but if the target
doesn't support it, it will fall back the SMB1.0. Perhaps there is a bug in
that fallback logic when deleting directory structures. It is unlikely
though because the SMB negotiation is one of the first things to happen.

Answer: bypass vista

I added an XP virtual machine on my Vista PC. Setup a drive mapping to the
IFS under XP identical to the Vista mapping. Same usreid and password to
authenticate to the IFS as under Vista. Deleted the IFS folder from XP
without a problem when the host Vista session said it did not have
permission.
