Open file names do not display correctly in the Directory and Resource Administrator MMC. (NETIQKB27643)

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.60

symptom
Open file names do not display correctly in the Directory and Resource Administrator MMC.

symptom
Viewing Open Files via the Directory and Resource MMC displays as strange characters.

cause
This is caused by an issue in the OpenFile Property object in the resource provider. 

fix

The setbackdoorproperties function implemented in the resource provider, copies the FILE_INFO_3 structure but the strings being pointed to by the members of the structure are not copied.  These pointers then point to memory that has been released, which returns garbage characters for the property. 

This issue is resolved in Directory and Resource Administrator 7.0 and later. Upgrade to the latest version of DRA to resolve this problem.
