Hello Volker, it appears that the actual headers that are supposed to reveal these undocumented bits aren't coming from the sources of the binaries but imported here during build. So, I've sought help from the product group to get me access/information for those. So please stand by.

Hello Sreekanth,

have you recieved the two files I uploaded a few days ago? Did they help in finding what those undocumented bits mean?

Thanks,

Volker

I wonder if hey slipped through patch/maintenance builds. To figure that out, I need the copies of srv2.sys, ntfs.sys files from C:\Windows\System32\drivers on your SMB server. Would you be able to upload them to your workspace for this incident ?
