About the error: "The account is not authorized to login from this station" when you access NAS devices from Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926)

Scenario:
With the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926), some users may encounter an error message of “The account is not authorized to login from this station” when trying to access remote files saved in NAS storage. In
addition, the following error log may also be found via Event Viewer:
Rejected an insecure guest logon.
This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest but was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result,
guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.
Background:
The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.
Previously, remote file access includes a way of connecting to a file server without a username and password, which was termed as “guest access”.
With guest access authentication, the user does not need to send a user name or password.
The security change is intended to address a weakness when using guest access.  While the server may be fine not distinguishing among clients for files (and, you can imagine in the home scenario that it doesn’t
matter to you which of your family members is looking at the shared folder of pictures from your last vacation), this can actually put you at risk elsewhere.  Without an account and password, the client doesn’t end up with a secure connection to the server. 
A malicious server can put itself in the middle (also known as the Man-In-The-Middle attack), and trick the client into sending files or accepting malicious data.  This is not necessarily a big concern in your home, but can be an issue when you take your
laptop to your local coffee shop and someone there is lurking, ready to compromise your automatic connections to a server that you can’t verify.  Or when your child goes back to the dorm at the university. The change we made removes the ability to connect
to NAS devices with guest access, but the error message which is shown in build 9926 does not clearly explain what happened. We are working on a better experience for the final product which will help people who are in this situation. 
As a Windows Insider you’re seeing our work in progress; we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
Suggestion:
You may see some workarounds (eg. making a registry change restores your ability to connect with guest access).
We do NOT recommend making that change as it leaves you vulnerable to the kinds of attacks this change was meant to protect you from.
The recommended solution is to add an explicit account and password on your NAS device, and use that for the connections.  It is a one-time inconvenience,
but the long term benefits are worthwhile.  If you are having trouble configuring your system, send us your feedback via the Feedback App and post your information here so we can document additional affected scenarios.

  • I have spent dozens of hours over the last years trying to find out why I get the error message "...not authorized to copy" when I try and drag a download from ADE to my nook.  Why is this simple procedure not foolproof.  There are hundreds of people sear

    Typical - what on earth am I doing at this page and why was I sent here
    Now I get a message saying there is an error and my content could not be saved
    What is wrong with you people?
    How can you make such a simple operation so complicated that it is festooned with error messages
    LEARN THE MEANING OF FOOLPROOF YOU IMBICILES

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Unable to work with songs.  Says computer is not authorized, it is.  Have tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, that works, but still get the msg that computer is not authorized.  What to do?  Thanks!

    I have an older pc with itune songs on it.  Trying to burn to disk.  Tells me that the computer is not authorized to do this, it is.  Have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it and I'm able to do that.  Then if I try to authorize it, it says it already is, but still won't allow me to work with my songs, still says not authorized.  The songs I'm trying to burn were purchased from the itunes store, but don't show up on my purchased songs on my new iMac, not sure how to find them.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Thanks for trying to help!
    Tried it without much success though.
    Looked good at first. I was able to unauthorize it and after rebooting all I went in under "store" and authorized it again, witch it did without a hassle.
    But, when I had restarted everything again and tried to sync with me iPhone I still got "Part of the programs in the iTunes library, for instance 'yadda-yadda-app' was not installed on the iPhone unit 'The name of my iPhone' because you are not authorized for them on this computer. You can authorize this computer for purchases by choosing store - Authorize this computer"
    (Translation to english might include minor errors...
    So... Any other ideas on how to sync my iPhone with my iTunes?
    (Oh, and my iPhone has never been jailbroken or anything like that.)

  • ITunes won't sync new apps, I'm not authorized for them on this computer??

    Hello,
    Everything with the update went well, bought/downloaded applications from iTunes, hit sync & got the message that I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I have to be, don't I? I remember when activating the phone that it did that... I think. Please help, I want to use my new apps.
    BTW, I've tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the power & home buttons for 6 seconds & I've restarted my G5.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Just solved it. Double clicked on one of the new applications from within iTunes, it asked for my password to authorize this computer, clicked sync & it's syncing now.
    Hope this helps others that might have had the same problem.

  • The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login

    Using Terminal Server 2008 not able to get non administrator users to login to the remote desktop. Have tried from Windows server 2008 and from Windows servers 2003. Get error login in "The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login" from Windows Server 2008. Error "The requested session access is denied" from Windows Server 2000.

    Is that seriously the only way to do this? Doesn't this render the "Allow log on through Terminal Services" GP Setting useless?
    I would like to know this answer, as well.  I have created a new AD group for my assistant admins called "Domain Admins (limited)".  I have added this group to the GP setting "Allow log on through Terminal Services", but the
    assistant admins cannot log in through RDP.  It 'feels like' this is all I would need to do.
    Craig
    Found some good info
    here. There are really two things required for a user to connect to a server via RDP. You can configure one of them via Group Policy but not the other.
    1) Allow log on through Terminal Services can be configured through Group Policy, no problem.
    2) Permissions on the RDP-listener must also be granted.  If your user is a member of the local Administrators group or the local Remote Desktop Users group then this is handled.  If you are trying to utilize a new, custom group (as I am),
    then there isn't a way to do this via group policy (that I have found).
    EDIT: Found the answer.  I am creating a blog post to outline the steps.  They aren't hard, but they're not self-explanatory.  It deals with the Restricted Groups mentioned above, but it's still automate-able using Group Policy so that you
    don't have to touch each computer.  I think the above poster (Andrey Ganev) got it right, but
    I had trouble deciphering his instructions.
    Here is my blog post that walks through this entire process, step-by-step.

    Everytime I sync my iPhone it gives me the warning:  The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer.
    Pages was installed when I initially purchased it for my iPhone, but when I got the 4S recently I got the above message.  I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, but it didn't help.  The Install/Will Install option is there, but gets me the same message.  (And I did hit the Apply button)

    Agh! I figured out I had two apple id's and was able to install Pages from that account.  Dumb! :/

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

  • The server farm account should not be used for other services

    I have created a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I only used the Farm Configuration Wizard to create the Search Service Application, all other aspects of the Farm was created using PowerShell.
    The SharePoint Health Analyzer is reporting the following error:
    Title: The server farm account should not be used for other services.
    Severity: 1 - Error
    Category: Security
    Explanation: DOMAIN\FARM_ACCOUNT, the account used for the SharePoint timer service and the central administration site, is highly privileged and should not be used for any other services on any machines in the server farm.  The following services were
    found to use this account: Distributed Cache Service(Windows Service)
    Remedy: Browse to
    http://centraladminsite:port/_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx and change the account used for the services listed in the explanation. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142685".
    Now I understand how to change the account used to run the Distributed Cache Service, but my query is what account should I use in the least privelage model? I have setup the following 6 accounts as per TechNet guidelines (Link)
    and am not sure if one of these accounts should be used or if another account is required:
    SQL Server service account
    Setup user account
    Server farm account
    SharePoint Server Search service account
    Default content access account
    Application pool identity
    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity
    Service, a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services
    within the Farm?
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?

    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity Service,
    a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services within the Farm?
    Inder: Yes, It is suggested to have multiple service account for each service application. This increases security and dependencyof 1 account on multiple Service applications. Like below
    SQL Server service
    Local System account (default)
    Setup user
    Member of the Administrators group on the local computer
    Server farm
    Network Service (default)
    No manual configuration is necessary.
    SharePoint Server Search Service
    By default, this account runs as the Local System account.
    If you want to crawl remote content by changing the default content access account or by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account. If you do not change this account to a domain user account, you cannot change the default content access account
    to a domain user account or add crawl rules to crawl this content. This restriction is designed to prevent elevation of privilege for any other process running as the Local System account.
    Default Content Access
    No manual configuration is necessary if this account is only crawling local farm content. If you want to crawl remote content by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account, and apply the requirements listed for a server farm.
    Content Access
    Same requirement as the default content access account.
    Profile import Default Access
    Same requirements as server farm.
    Excel Services Unattended Service
    Must be a domain user account.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445%28v=office.15%29.aspx
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
    Inder: Each service account has a application pool and you can plan to use same application pool for multiple
    service accounts if required. These application pool are then consumed by proxy connection
    of each service application. On service application pool, you can see all the service applications and its proxy connection.

  • I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto.  Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized.  Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

    I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto.  Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized.  Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Messaging Server 4.1: Received mail is not returned to the sender if the receiving local account does not exist.

    I have found that received mail is not returned to the sender if the receiving
    local account does not exist. This problem occurs even if I use Console to
    enable the Return message to sender option under the error handling methods.
    In addition, I have used the configutil
    to confirm that I have set the value
    for Unknown account action to "13," which corresponds to the settings "Return
    message to sender," "Notify the postmaster via email," and "Log the error in
    the log file." Yet, in this situation, an error message is being sent to
    postmaster, but not to the sender, and the error is not being recorded in the
    log file.

    Do the following steps:<BR>

    hi,
    we released the billing and accounting document generated but customer needed changes in the billing values so we cancel the billing document but accounting document not generated(reversal accounting not happen)....in document flow it shows in cancel document in blocking state ....we try to release in VF02 but it throws the error "Client 200 does not contain an active application area" . but the other sales order we test in qulaity server the scenorio is working fine...............for specific one sales order creating problem now.....
    try to solve the issue ..
    Thanks
    Muthuraman.D

    Dear all,
    I have noticed this problem in my company system.
    Problem descripion:
    - you creates an invoice and the system doesn't post it for any reason
    - then you create the cancel of the invoice, BEFORE forcing the posting of the invoice
    --> user creates Cancel, Cancel is not posted as well.
    --> from now it is impossible to post both invoices: if you try to post the Invoice after the cancel creation, the VF02 recongnise that a CANCEL exists and do not allow for the posting
    --> standard VFX3 doesn't signal this kind of not posted documents situation.
    Ok, The right procedure for thes user should be: create invoice, if not posted then try to understand why not posted, and not CANCEL it.
    But in this case VFK3 was not able to detect the invoice was not posted: it was not in the list.
    So the 2 ways must be:
    1) one possibility could be undestand in VFX3 could be enhanced: I checked in OSS but I didn't find anything.
    2) other possibility: add a further check in interface between SD and FI in order to check if original invoice is not posted to FI  and in this case block the cancel creation, as instead standard SAP does.
    Could you please give me an idea on how it would be better proceed?
    Thank You very much.
