How to connect to Window 2003 server using "connect as"

How can I set up Lion to easily connect to specified shares in the windows 2003 server. I want to authenticate as a user other than the one I am logged into on my Macbook? I am setting this up for teachers in a school. The macbook may be used by multiple teachers. Best way (simplest) please.

Hi
Let's pretend the Windows Server has an IP address of 10.10.10.254
Go Menu > Connect to Server > smb://10.10.10.254. When prompted enter the account credentials of a user (username and password) that exists on the Windows Server. Alternatively you could use cifs://10.10.10.254. Either one will do. Assuming no 'silliness' on the Windows Network Administrator's part the share should mount.
For ease of connectivity afterwards you could tick the 'remember password using keychain manager' box. Personally I find keychain manager more trouble than it's worth. However you deal with this as you see fit. If it's multiple users using the same workstation I would not enable the option.
Once mounted you can view the Server Share on the user's Desktop by enabling the option in the Finder. It should appear as a blue-ish drive icon on the Desktop. Add the icon in that User's Login Items in the Accounts Preferences Pane. Think of it a little like the Windows equivalent of "mapping a network drive".
Next time that user logs into their local account and provided the workstation is connected to the same network, the share point should mount.
You could also or alternatively drag the share icon to the right hand side of Dock. Click on it to re-connect to the share after you've disconnected from it.
HTH?

  • Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

    Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution.  I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server.  Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established.  I went to the link:
    Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
    (the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
    followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
    Hope this helps someone.

    It looks like you have to have a postscript printer (i.e. a laser printer). I have been trying to solve this problem for some time with no luck so far.

  • Connect to windows 2003 server from 10.4.6

    good day everyone,
    very peculiar goings on after my recent upgrade to 10.4.6. my current arrangement is that i am connected to a windows 2003 server via my built in ethernet. until this update, no probs. now, however, i am able to log on to the server volumes, but i m unable to save files to them. i get the little red "do not enter" sign on the volumes, and it does not allow me to save. i am also getting duplicate server icons in my sidebar...for instance, i usually have 4 network volumes, named volume 1-4. now i have 2 of each, and i cant save to either. i can, however, drag and drp files on the server volumes.
    the network volumes all work fine on the other macs in my department, all on 10.3.9.
    any thoughts on this?
    thanks,
    cr

    Hi Chris,
    Welcome to the Apple User Forum - Again!
    There have been some issues with regards to some applications saving to AFP volumes in 10.4.6.
    (ExtremeZ-IP has an updated patch to handle this issue (v4.2.2) and it's free to those already on v4)
    The AFP changes in 10.4.6 will cause you some issues with your Windows SFM volumes.
    If you mount the volumes SMB, you may have better luck.
    The other suggestion is to work the files locally to your desktop (on the Mac) and copy them to the server when you're finished.

  • LAN Problem in Windows 2003 Server (LAN connection disabled)

    I have installed LAN in Windows 2003 Service. But it shows LAN connection disabled.  LAN connection is also proper. 
    I asked local vendor, he told me that it may due to virus problem. i do not want to format the machine against. i have very much useful data in it.

    Hi
    Do you mean you have plugged in the network cable to the server and the network card showing disabled.
    If its disabled in the network and sharing then you need to enable it.
    If you can't see any network connection in the network and sharing form control panel then check if the network card driver has installed properly.
    if you can see the network connection then simply right click and enable them.
    Thanks

  • Itunes on a Windows 2003 server using Terminal server

    I am a Danish school teacher. On my school we are running Windows 2003 terminal server and have thin clients.

    My problem is that, when the users log on and opens itunes it comes up with an error that it is not possible because it is already open on the server.
    Is it possible to solve that problem and how?

  • Import ECC6 using DB2 9.5 in Windows 2003 server got error in Phase Insatlla database soft ware .

    Hi Expert,
    When i am going to import ECC6 in windows 2003 server  using DB9.5 i got error in phase Install data base software  like below.
    Invalid command line argument. consult the windows installer SDK for detailed command line help.
    Please help me for this error.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thanks
    J Jana

    'invalid command line argument' - Most probably the SAPinst is not able to find the right path for the DB2 UDB DVD or the the argument is too long to interpret which is a very common problem during installations.
    Check the path for db2 DVD, and keep it shorter - that means you have to reduce the number of folders where the DVD resides. Copy the DVD in a short path let's say C:\DB2\dvdname and re-try installation by giving the new path of dvd in SAPinst.
    Thank you.

  • Slow Internet connected to Windows 2003

    Recently our company changed their server to a Windows 2003 server. Ever since, all the macs running os x have really slow internet access. The PC's are fast. Does anyone have any idea if there are settings on the mac that need to be changed or on the server?
    Any help would be great.

  • Can we install Windows 2003 server in a macbook?

    Guys!!!
    Can we install Windows 2000 or 2003 server in a macbook?
    The thing is...i want to get SAP installed in my Macbook leopard, for that to happen u need windows server OS.
    soo...is thr ny way that u can install windows server OS in macbook?

    To clarify what was previously mentioned... you can only install 2003 Server using virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware's Fusion. You cannot install Windows 2003 Server using BootCamp which is the boot manager shipped with Leopard.

  • Installing Windows 2003 Server

    I'm attempting to install Windows 2003 server using the 875P Neo.  The system boots from the CD and loads all of the Windows driver, however, when I get to the part where I have to format the HD, the system states that it's unable to format.
    Do I have to pre-load any MSI driver during the boot installation?  Like drivers to support the 875 chip set?
    Thanks,
    David

    Once Windows loads, I get the following msg: "Setup cannot format the partition.  Your computer may not have enough memory to perform this operation, or your Windows CD-ROM may contain some corrupted files."
    I've tried this with several disks.  It will work with my Windows XP disks.
    Has anyone seen this problem?  Is this a BIOS configuration issue?

  • How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

    Hi All,
    In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
    The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
    to the Windows 2003 x32 server,  it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
    Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
    POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
    When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
    This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

  • How do I rename an XE database on a Windows 2003 Server?

    Ok. I'm attempting to rename a freshly installed XE database on a Windows 2003 Server. It looks like there is no getting around the fact that the database gets named "XE" during installation. Because there could potentially be multiple installations of XE in my organization, I thought it'd be a good idea to disambiguate the installations by renaming them to match their function. In this particular case, I'd like to rename the database to "CTXMGMT". It will be a data repository for our Citrix farm administration programs.
    Here is what I've performed thus far:
    1. Installed Oracle 10g XE on one of our Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition machines.
    2. Verified that the installation was performed correctly by making sure the 'Database Home Page' loads correctly through Internet Explorer, and by performing a few Select statements on the database (i.e. select name from v$database;)
    * * I then began following instructions from this document (http://www.utexas.edu/its/unix/reference/oracledocs/v92/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch14.htm#1004735) to rename the database. Note: I'm only trying to change the name of the database, not the ID.
    3. Shutdown the database
    4. Opened the database in MOUNT mode
    5. Ran the NID utility. Here's the actual input/output to/from the NID utility:
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>nid target=sys/manager@xe DBNAME=CTXMGMT SETNAME=YES
    DBNEWID: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Jul 10 15:55:10 2006
    Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
    Connected to database XE (DBID=2476560070)
    Connected to server version 10.2.0
    Control Files in database:
    C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF
    Change database name of database XE to CTXMGMT? (Y/[N]) => Y
    Proceeding with operation
    Changing database name from XE to CTXMGMT
    Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - modified
    Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSTEM.DBF - wrote new name
    Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\UNDO.DBF - wrote new name
    Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSAUX.DBF - wrote new name
    Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\USERS.DBF - wrote new name
    Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF - wrote new name
    Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - wrote new name
    Instance shut down
    Database name changed to CTXMGMT.
    Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
    Succesfully changed database name.
    DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
    6. After running the NID utility from a separate DOS Window, I attempt to shutdown the newly renamed database from the first DOS Window I used in steps 3 & 4 from above (i.e. to shutdown the database and then start it in MOUNT mode) but I receive this error:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    This is somewhat expected since the SQL*Plus connection in this window probably had "the bottom pulled out from under it" when the database was renamed.
    However at this point I'm unsure about what state the database is in. Is it down? Is it up? Logic would sort of dictate that the database was left in the MOUNT state, which is the state it was in when the database name was changed. However, the only way I'm able to get back in to the database is by doing the following
    a. Opened a new DOS window
    b. entered "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server"
    c. entered "set ORACLE_SID=XE"
    d. entered " sqlplus "/ as sysdba" "
    e. at SQL> prompt, entered "startup"... which produces:
    SQL> startup;
    ORACLE instance started.
    Total System Global Area 285212672 bytes

    Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
    ORA-01103: database name 'CTXMGMT' in control file is not 'XE'
    SQL>
    From here I don't know what to do. According to the ORA-01103 error message, it looks like I need to change the database name in the control file to "CTXMGMT", but I'm not sure how I should go about that. The control file is a binary file, so I can't just open it up with Notepad and type in a new database name.
    I suspect that even once that is done that the listener.ora (and maybe the tnsnames.ora file?) will have to be edited to include the new "CTXMGMT" name, but I'm not sure how exactly those files should look to incorporate the new database name.
    Also, would the names of services have to be changed in Windows as well? (i.e. Would the Windows service named "OracleServiceXE" have to be renamed to "OracleServiceCTXMGMT" ?)
    In short, I really just need to know how to rename an XE database on Windows appropriately. The steps described above represent as far as I've gotten. If I'm going about it incorrectly could someone shed some light on the correct steps to follow? The more detailed the better. Thanks.
    - Gary

    Okay, I've....
    1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
    2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
    3) Shutdown the database
    4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
    5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
    6) Shutdown the database again
    7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
    8) Started up the database
    And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
    How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
    SQL> select instance_name
    2 from v$instance;
    INSTANCE_NAME
    xe
    I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
    CTXMGMT =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
    Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

  • How to install 11.5.10 on VMWare with Windows 2003 Server?

    Need help on installing 11.5.10 on VMWare which runs Windows 2003 Server.
    I've XP Pro laptop with 2GB RAM and 80GB HDD and external HD with 250GB. Gathered all required s/w for installation.
    The Win 2003 Server VMWare is sitting on the external HD. I want to install pre-req s/w along with 11.5.10 on the VMWare.
    (1) How do I make the laptop's CD drive and HD visible to the VMWare?
    (2) Can I use the XP laptop HD as staging area and install on VMWare on external HD?
    (3) What are the disadvantages/risks of using the external HD for both staging and actual installation?
    Any help is appreciated.
    FYI - we already have an Oralce 11.5.9 on VMWare. All services are up and running. Able to logon to SQL*Plus and EBS home page. The issue is, we are not able to connect to this Oralce VMWare image from other VMWare image(Siebel), ie, if we do a telnet to oracle vmware image connection establishes and closes immediately. No clue on why this is happening. But this is not happening when we did telnet from a vmware image(plain win 2003 server) that does not have Siebel. All vmware images work fine individually.
    Any inputs?
