Lenovo Thinkvanta​ge Access Connection​s prevents Microsoft File and Printer Sharing

We have several Think pad laptops deployed in our company, including G41, T61, and T500 models.  We are using Numara's Track It software to inventory our workstations and laptops.  The auditing process needs to have Microsoft File and Printer Sharing turned on in order to work.  We have enabled a group policy to set this to on by default.  However, the Thinkavntage Access connections manager for the LAN connection overrides the GP and turns off the File and Printer Sharing by default.  What's worse, with it off, we can't remotely manage the machine's services or even access the registry.  We know that his is the issue, because reconfiguring the access connections manager to allow the file and printer sharing will allow all of our remote administration tools to work, insluding the inventory audit.
Does anyone know how to disable the access connection manager from running remotely?  or does anyone know how to change the settings remotely to all for the microsoft file and printer sharing to be enabled by default.  I would hate to have to visit each user individually just to turn off a setting. 
anyone else run into headaches because of this "security feature"? 
Jason

1.Find snetcfg.exe on internet
2.Create batch who runs snetcfg with this commnads from network locations
(this setting enable  File and Printer Sharing)
snetcfg -u MS_Server
snetcfg -c s -i MS_Server
3. Deploy and run batch on laptops (GPO)
4. Deploy new AC profiles settings  (.loa)
done
sorry for my english

  • T61 XP-pro Microsoft file and printer sharing unchecks on Intel(R) 82566M NIC after reboot

    I check Microsoft file and printer sharing but after reboot it is unchecked for Intel(R) 82566M NIC connection profile.
    Anyone else seen this or fixed?

  • X301 "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" removed at re booting (XP SP-3)

    Even if I run the “Network Identification Wizard” (under System properties/Computer Name) to join a Workgroup, the box ‘File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ remains unchecked.  If I ticked it manually, it remains checked for the current session, but it is unchecked at booting.
    The same occurs with the Windows Firewall (I am running that from Symantec). I switch the Windows Firewall off, but after rebooting, it appears selected again!.
    This happens only with my brand new ThinkPad X301, which came with Vista. The package included a kit to convert to XP, but this installed a ‘naked’ XP, which required downloading from Lenovo and Windows about 1Gb of files (bad service, Lenovo guys!).
    I wonder which “safety” issue of the X301 causes this, but how can I stop this happening? (It does not occur with any of my two old ThinkPads, also running XP SP-3 and Lenovo software).

    See -> http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/72537-file-printer-sharing-turned-off-reboot.html  Here is the text. Re: File and Printer sharing turned off on reboot
    I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!
    In my case, it was in Lenovo's "ThinkVantage Access Connections" applet. It
    is additional security that is applied at the CONNECTION level.
    Here is how I fixed it:
    1. Double click on the ThinkVantage Access Connections applet in the
    notification area.
    2. Click on the MANAGE button on the toolbar
    3. Select the SSID where you want File Sharing to work, and click EDIT
    4. Click on the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS tab
    5. Next to "Network Security", click the SETTINGS button
    6. The first option in Security Settings is "Disable file and printer
    sharing". UNCHECK this box. Click OK for 3 levels of dialog boxes, then
    close Access Connections
    Although these directions are specific to ThinkPad notebooks, the same
    principle may apply for other manufacturers' connection managers.
    Best of luck!

  • File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

    Hi Expert,
    I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box.  Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32".  I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
    Best Wishes,

    Do any experts know the reason of this problem?  Thanks!

  • File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is missing

    I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V VM that is missing the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. When I try to Install the service it is not listed. The only service listed is Windows Network Virtualization Filter driver. I have the install media but
    I don't know where the driver would be located. I'm hoping someone can tell me where it is located.

    Ok, fixed it, I found the netserv.inf file in c:\windows\inf and tried to use it to reinstall File and Printer Sharing. However File and Printer Sharing was not listed. I copied the netserv.inf file from another Server 2012 VM and was able to install File
    and Printer Sharing using the copied NetServ.inf. After rebooting the server I was able to access network shares on the server.

  • Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

    Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
    I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
    I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
    Can someone help me?

  • Connecting to windows 7 home network for file and printer sharing

    Hi,
    I just bought my first Macbook pro (13" 2.66ghz w/ OSX 10.6.4) and it is my first apple product. I was under the impression that it would be able to connect to my home windows network so I could file & printer share. So far I have only been able to connect to the internet wirelessly but have been unable to connect to the home network. All the online help keeps telling me I need to turn on windows sharing but where they tell me to look there is every other type of sharing but windows sharing. Can anyone help?
    Adam

    On the PC, right click on C: and when the Properties window opens click the Sharing Tab and then check 'Share this drive/folder'
    On the Mac open System Preferences/Sharing check File Sharing in the left column then hit the Options button across right, check the third item "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)"
    Then on the Mac Finder Desktop top menu bar select Go/Connect to Server and in the window that pops open enter smb://nameofPC and hit Connect - another window will pop open asking for the username and password of a user on that PC box, once you enter that you'll have the PC appear on your Desktop and can browse it with the Finder.

  • Windows 7 won't allow me access to some of my files and folders

    I installed a new copy of Windows 7 Professional SP1 on a new PC several months ago. I then restored my documents from a backup made on my old XP system. Ever since installation, I have had problems with Windows denying me access to some of my files
    and folders. I have full administrative rights on the machine. The various problems I've had, and steps I've taken to resolve them are:
    1. Try to open a file and get a message telling me I need permission from Steve to open this file. I am Steve.
    2.Try to open a file and get a message telling me I don't have permission to open it, but click this button to get permanent permission. I click the button, but still don't have permission.
    3. I then started opening the security settings for individual files and setting myself to have full access, and as the owner. This worked for individual files.
    4. I then tried setting the same security settings for entire folders. This didn't work and didn't improve anything.
    5. I tried setting the security settings so that Administrators owned the files/folders (I am an administrator). This also didn't achieve anything.
    6. After several months and still getting these messages, I got sick of trying to overcome them and decided to apply these security settings to my entire C: drive. I set myself to have full access and to be the owner of the C: root directory and all sub-objects.
    7. I inserted my Windows installation disk and tried to run the System Repair. It told me that System Repair was not compatible with the version of Windows I was running! WTF???
    Not only did setting permissions for the entire C: drive not help me, it has made matters a WHOLE lot worse. I now don't have permission to open almost all my files/folders. Most applications I try to run (Word, Excel, etc.) either tell me they can't open
    a file or let me open and edit it, then tell me I don't have permission to save to that location. When I press the Send/Receive button in Outlook, it now tells me I don't have permission to perform that action. I've tried going back to a restore point before
    I made this change, but that didn't change anything either.
    This problem has been driving me insane for months and now my PC is almost completely unusable and I'm considering a disk format and re-install Windows. When I initially installed it, so many problems came up in the first few weeks that I'm very reluctant
    to go through this procedure again. I spent hours and hours trawling the web looking for solutions to things that didn't work.
    Does anyone have any good news for me? Because as far as I'm concerned, Windows 7 is so far a piece of garbage.

    Hi Steve1904,
    So you have use the backup and Restore to restore your files from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly?
    This should be considered not work.
    If you would like to transfer files between Windows XP and Windows 7, you need another tool called Windows Easy Transfer.
    See the article below if you would like to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7:
    Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
    If possible, follow the steps there, then things should be OK.

  • ThinkVanta​ge Access Connection​s and Limited User Account (LUA) on XP SP3

    Is it really so that one has to be logged on with at least Power User privileges to get the Access Connections utility working properly with 3G/HSDPA? When logging on as a Limited User, the computer can find all the cell phone operators nearby but does not let to do a connect. But when logged on as a Power User, all problems go away.
    I would not like to bump up my user privileges from Limited User to Power User, since all else seems to work fine with a Limited User Account. Any ideas about what is going wrong -- or did I just hit into a wall here?
    The environment in question is Thinkpad X200 and XP SP3. Access Connections and the HSDPA driver are the latest ones I could find from the Lenovo driver download site (Access Connections v. 5.21, Ericsson HSDPA driver v. 1.0.1046.221).
    Would there be any other way to use 3G connections than to use the Access Connections utility (without changing to another o/s)?

    Hi Sami,

    <Limited User>
      A Limited user can create and apply only modem profiles. However, if
      Administrator sets "Allow Windows users without administrator
      privileges to create and apply location profiles" option in the
      Global settings then the user can create and apply any kinds of
      profiles in the system.
      Also, a limited user cannot:
      1. Edit setting for the Automatic Ethernet and Wireless location
         profiles switching.
      2. Edit Global settings.
      3. Edit profiles created by another user in the system.
      4. Renew or release IP in the Diagnostics panel.
      5. Export profiles.
      The limitations on Power user also apply on Limited user.

  • Thinkvanta​ge (Access Connection​s) problems

    I have a T41, running XP with 3 different profiles set-up (1 admin and 2 users).  Two days ago, Access Connections will no longer auto launch and connect to our wireless network when signing in with one of the non admin profiles.  Alternatively, if I sign in as the admin, Access Connections starts, connects to the wireless and when I switch to one of the other 2 profiles.......they are connected to our wireless network!
    What happened and what can I do to set the profiles back up to auto launch Access Connections when I log in as one of the non admin profiles?
