RE: Snapshot access from CIFS Windows XP SP2 Previous Versions. - toasters

      We have set a policy to de-register the dll on selected machines or users -
regsvr32 twext.dll /u /s
This removes the previous versions tab when a drive properties are viewed.
I do not think our user community are quite ready to facilitate their own
restores just yet :o)

Yep....but only on ONTAP 7.0 or better.  This allows you to control the
visibility of snapshots via the MS Shadow Copy (SC) client.
Valid values: 
        off - Disable snapshot access to all MS SC clients 
        xp - Allow snapshot access from only XP SC clients 
        pre-xp - Allow snapshot access from 2000 SC clients

My guess is that it is somehow related to the cifs.ms_snapshot_mode setting

A colleague has just told me that, with SP2 installed on Windows XP,
File, Properties, Previous Versions displays snapshots.
This has also come as a surprise to someone else:
http://winxp.uwaterloo.ca/Documentation/WXP_SP2_ADSworkstation.htm#Snapshot
Is this documented somewhere? Any more information?
