Troubleshooting for DST

My NCP server information is set to: LOCAL_CODE_PAGE CP437. Why is it not using UTF-8?

A File is listed twice in a directory

Users cannot see some files and directories

Cross-protocol locking stops working

OES Remote Manager connection error when you are working on the DST Options page

Unable to access files on the shadow volume in a DST volume pair

An error message “Shadow Volume Path is a non-NSS Volume.” is displayed.
