NTFS Extended Attributes

Here's one that has me stumped.

I have a Dell Laptop (factory loaded Win2K sp4) on which I've installed an application called "Premier". Group Policies have settings for the file system that allow the users read-only access to the Premier Folder.

Premier fails to load & looking in the security log I get failure audits for various files in the app folder that only go away if I grant full control to the user. I think I've tracked it down to the WriteAttributes (and/or extended) but I have no idea why this one laptop would not be able to function with filesystem permissions that are identical to the other 100-odd workstations that I manage.

So... What are the "extended attributes" that it wants to write & what on earth is posessing it to want to write them in the first place?


Help??!!??
