Link to document on network share

Hello,
SCSM has knowledge articles, and we can attach it to service request as a link on the portal, can we place link to the document which is located on the network share?

AFAIK the "external content" part of a knowledge article does not work as one would expect. An easy but not so pretty workaround is to simply paste the link to the network share into the knowledge article.

  • Multiple users accessing document on network share

    In our small office we have a couple of numbers douments that are regulary accessed and updated by 3 different people on three different machines, the numbers documents they access are stored on a network share on the Mac Server in the office.
    The problem we have is that all three able to open a file at the same time, obviously this is causing all sorts of isues. People losing data they have put into the file and also causes issues with someone being unable to save the file while someone else has it open.
    Surely there must be some sort of feature that when one person has the file open, its is locked for editing to everybody else that attempts to access it, I have searched around but cant seem to find anything to solve the problem. Anybody here have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Craig

    Once  a document is all set up, and then you are just making relatively minor edits, then you might find it useful to "share" it on iCloud and have everyone access it and edit it via Numbers on icloud.com rather than Numbers on the Mac.  That way you can all work on it at the same time without losing changes.

  • Can't open Office documents from network share

    Dear,
    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
    opens fine.
    Any idea?

    Anybody?
    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
    within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

  • Evaluation RH8, problem with links to files on network

    Hello,
    We are evaluating RH8, and I am trying to build to AIR with Robohelp and all my links pointing to either Word or PDF files on network drives won't work when I create the AIR standalone, I click them and nothing happens. If I compile them in HTML or Winhelp, the links are working.
    Is there anything I'm doing wrong ? or does the AIR output won't support links to files on network shares ?
    I've spent quite some hours trying to figure it out on my own, but I'm really not used with RH8, even though I'm quite fluent in many other Adobe programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    OK I've tried again with limited success. Links to \\Server_Name\Share_Name won't work (at least for me). Links to mapped network drives as you suggested, work differently, meaning at least I get an error message (Error #2044: Unhandled error:. text=PDFError). In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/110019) I see reinstalling the Adobe Reader might do the trick, so it's what I will do next.
    The main links to documents will be on a sharepoint server, so they will be http:// links and it should work just fine.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

    Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
    ###Mapped drive letters don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a hardlink:
    mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
    dir .\test_sharedir
    #Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
    #File Not Found
    UNC paths don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a symlink:
    mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
    dir .\test_dirunc
    #Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
    #File Not Found
    I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
    Are my assumptions above correct?
    We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
    On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\).  I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
    "s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server].  How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello Mandy,
    The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks.  I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
    To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
    You will see the following:
    I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD.  The CIFS server service does not appear
    to operate like this.
    1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
    2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
    Thanks for your time,
    Matt Brown
    [UPDATE]
    Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

  • How to mount network share on lion permanently

    I want to know how to mount a network share from my NAS on mountian lion.
    I have seen and tried the suggestions about using command+k or the "go connect to server" and mounting that way so the password for the share is put into the keychain, then dragging the now mounted share to the system preferences user login items.
    However this isn't satisfactory. It causes windows to pop up for each share that I have when logging in.
    What I Want is for the share to appear as a mounted hard drive in the left navigation column of the finder window. I'd also like to be able to make a shortcut to the share on my desktop (or put it in my dock bar). If it shows up under devices that is perfection okay too, just so it's there somewhere logical.
    The pop up windows simply clutter up the desktop, and if they are closed, then the share is closed too, and then there is a manual process of having to use the very tedious command+k or go connect to server method to connect again.
    I need them to be able to click and open the share. I don't need them wasting time putting in share paswords and the link over and over.. the share should just be there for them as they work through the day. And if they close the folder/window, then it should be easy to get back to it.
    This is possible on windows and I want these mounts to work the same way.
    note: my NAS uses smb

    That should work. You could try deleting the passwords in Keychain associated with it and try it again.
    Another route: Create Applescript:
    Select the network drive and get info on it. Copy the server address. Open up Applescript Editor in the Utilities folder and create a new script. Type in mount volume, add space, "paste server address within quotations", and save as application to your documents. Run it from within applescript editor to verify it works. When it asks for a passwork, save it in Keychain.
    Under system preferences/accounts/login items, click the + sign to add and select the saved application.

  • Very Slow to save Office 2013 files (Excel/Word) to a network share

    I have an issue with a customer's system whereby they experience problems with saving either a Word or Excel file to another workstation on the network.
    The network share is located on a Windows7 Pro x64 machine. The problem can be seen on a machine that's running Windows 8.1 Pro X64 along with Office 2013. When the user attempts to save the document back to the network share, there's
    a very long delay (sometime around a minute) before the save completes.
    I've tried turning off indexing of off-line files (via indexing options) and also declaring the network location as a trusted location (via the Trust Centre settings from within Excel & Word).
    If I simulate the same, but with a local file (eg loaded/saved to the Desktop) then there's no delay, so I conclude that it's something related to the process of saving data to the network share.
    The normal copy speed across the network, and between these 2 machines, is very fast. It's only when running Word/Excel that  the problem manifests itself.
    Any pointers would be gratefully received!
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Please first try to disable your antivirus software and check the issue again.
    This issue may also occur if you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) to secure the Temporary Internet Files folder. If this is the situation, please refer to the following article and try to fix the issue:

  • Can not print from network share.

    When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
    Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
    But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
    we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

    Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
    Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

  • Data Federator: Access Text file from secured Network Share or Sharepoint?

    Hi,
    I am using BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 2 - 12.2.2.0 (Build 1002172322) and I'm new to DF.
    I am trying to use the Text File Datasource type to connect to a file on a secured Network Share and from a Sharepoint 2010 document repository. Is this possible?
    I am currently able to use the Text File datasource to read a file from a public network share (
    share\public\folderpath\file) or on the local federator machine using the "Local File" connection but cannot put in a username/password for accessing a secure network share. Is there a built in DF username/password that should be granted access to the share?
    Neiher the FTP File System or SMB Share seemed like it would work here either.
    For the Sharepoint connection, I know that I can make a webservice on a list and connect DF to the webservice, but I want to just connect to the document repository. I was unable to get this to work even with Sharepoint repositories using WebDav since the Local File method did not accept the url string (http://mysite.<org>.com/personal/<user>/Shared Documents). Is there any way to do this without having to change the way the file is exposed on the Sharepoint side?
    How is this normally handled? Put the files on a unsecured network share or on the DF server? Import the files into a DB and just use DB connections?
    Finally, is there a way to import XLS/XLSX files in DF or only CSV files?  I saw DI has an Excel Adaptor but didn't see anything for DF and when I tried it either could not retrieve the XML schema or reading the file's data failed.
    Thanks alot for the help.
    Kerby

    Bump, any help here with Data Federator usage?  Sharepoint, XLS files, or using secured network share?

  • How to link a document in Framework

    In CWB Home Page there is ability to link to various URL.
    I know how to link to a Portal. But I need to link to a Document (Word or PPT) which is located in Shared Servers.
    If this is possible , How do I write the full Path which includes the document?

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether I understood your requirement clearly.
    If you just want to link a document to your service desk message, you can easily attach the document to the "attchmnt" tab of the "notif_create" transaction, if you are using "notif_create" to create your service desk message.
    (ii) If you are using "crm_dno_monitor" transaction, then you can upload the document in the "documents" tab of this transaction.
    (iii) But, if your requirement is that that you have to upload the document in the Solar01/Solar02 transaction and only have to link to your service desk message, then you can generate the URL of the uploaded document and attach it using the "My Network Places" button of the "Open File" dialog (that comes up by clicking the "export" button of the "attchmnt" tab of the "notif_create" transaction) and specifying the URL in the "File Name" field.
    (iv) If the requirement is the same as in (iii), but if you use "crm_dno_monitor" transaction, the same procedure can be followed in the "documents" tab of this transaction or else we can also use the "create URL" button of the documents tab.
    Hope you know the procedure for generating the URL of the uploaded document.
    Dont forget to reward for useful answers.

  • Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

    Hi,
    I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
    and open it again ,it works fine.
    Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
           Network shared file and sometime locally
    Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
          it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
    Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
         Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
      Does the file have some macros?
     Yes, they have macros in some files 
    Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
           it happened before too.
    Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
    Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.

  • How to get "fast user switching" and network shares playing nice

    I've been alternating between banging my head against a wall and reading every forum I could find to try and get a reasonable compromise between using "Fast user switching" and sharing a folder from a file server.  It baffles me how the network share/mount model of OSX/AFP is completely killed by fast-user-switching; this is a big problem with Apple requiring users to be actively logged in to share music/video from iTunes which therefore essentially requires fast-user-switching if anyone else wants to use the computer.  (anyone find it odd that you can share files without being logged in, but sharing songs requires an active login for each user who is sharing?  Apple: time to make iTunes sharing a service!)
    For the sake of example, lets just say I want to share my /Groups folder from my desktop and have it be accessible to my laptop.  Here are all the things that I tried:
    Apple Method 1) Share /Groups in the Server.app on the desktop (running Lion Server), use finder on the laptop and drag the share icon to "Login Items", alternative use a startup Apple script using "mount volume"  Both of the options work and will mount the /Groups folder under /Volumes/Groups, of course when the second person logs in via fast-user-switching (and occasionally the first person for no apparent reason), they will get /Volumes/Groups-1 since /Volumes/Groups is already taken.  Tomorrow we log in a different order and now the previously /Volumes/Groups-1 user has their mount at /Volumes/Group and vice versa.  Any links, aliases, finder sidebar references, and application settings which pointed to yesterday's location are now BROKEN.  Not very user friendly to my mother-in-law who is trying to find those pictures of the kids and doesn't know anything about mount points. I also can't reasonably mirror the file location structure on the desktop so that application preferences that are synced between the two (portable home directories) work.   fail.
    Apple Method 2) Use automounter and set up by hand direct maps for /Groups or an indirect maps for the children of /Groups.  Now it will automatically get mounted to /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ on the laptop and on the desktop it will automatically create a similar symlink structure so that the same path (/network/servers/SERVER/Groups) work both on desktop and laptop.  Cool.  Except when the second person logs in, the /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ mountpoint is already owned by the first user and they don't have any permissions to access it.  Fail.
    Apple Method 3) Use mount_afs and specify directly the mount-points.  Have each user have their own startup AppleScript which mounts /Groups to a different location (e.g. /Users/Shared/username/Groups) that way they don't conflict with multiple users.  On the desktop, set up symlinks from /Users/Shared/username/Group to /Groups so that it will be the same as the client and applications settings will work when synchronized back/forth by portable-home-directories.  Will it work, yes it does, but what a bear to maintain.  Is this really what I should expect to do just to have multiple users on my desktop and laptop (which again is essentially required now if I want to do any type of iTunes sharing).  This can't be what apple expects.
    What I ended up doing - the "not quite apple" solution.
    Non-Apple Method 4) After a read of "Autofs: Automatically Mounting Network File Shares in Mac OS X" (http://images.apple.com/business/docs/Autofs.pdf) at the very end there is a single paragraph  of "Kerberized NFS": "A Kerberized NFS mount can have multiple connections from multiple users, each using the correct user’s credentials for each transaction. This allows administrators to support multiple users, each authenticated with their own credentials to the same mount point. This is very different from AFP and SMB mounts," (emphasis mine)
    It appears that by using good 'ole NFS (abeint with Kerberos for security!) you can actually have multiple users on the same mount point.  Roughly following the guidance at https://support.apple.com/kb/TA24986?viewlocale=en_US.  What I needed to do was:
    1) create /etc/exports on my desktop and add a single line "/Groups -sec=krb5".  The existence of /etc/exports triggered a start of nfsd which no longer has any GUI options in Lion.
    2) Add a line to /etc/auto_master on my laptop "/-  auto_mymounts" to reference a new direct map.
    3) Create /etc/auto_mymounts and add a single line "/Groups         SERVER:/Groups" to create the direct map.
    THAT'S IT.  Three lines in three files.
    Now when I log into my laptop, there is a /Groups that is a network mount of my desktop's /Groups, same location AND it works for all of my users, even simultaneously. 
    In the end I'm happy with what I've got, but man was this a difficult path just to support fast-user-switching.  In Lion, Apple appears to be getting away from NFS (no longer turned on by default and remove from the GUI controls) but clearly this really useful functionality which doesn't exist in AFP. 
    I'm really curious, after all this work.  Any other ways to accomplish this?

    In my example above, yes I chose to mount the share "Groups" to the top of the root since that is where I put it on my server and I wanted to keep them similar; but that was just my preference, it isn't a requirement.  You can export and mount from other directories.

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.
    Best regards,

  • Can you use a network share as location for users' home

    I am running a Mac mini with Mountain Lion and Server.app as a home server. For added storage space I have a NAS. I would like to set up the open directory network users' home share on the NAS. Is that even possible?
    I am able to mount the network share on the mini using either afp or nfs, and I can also add the NAS share as a home folder enabled share in the server.app and select that as location for a users home folder, but that only results in the user not being able to log on to his account. Is there something that I am missing or is what I am trying to accomplish simply not possible?

    It used to be officially supported to use NFS for clients to access their network home directories but with Lion (and Mountain Lion) this was no longer officially supported.
    Therefore the need as I mentioned to 're-share' the volume via AFP. As you implied this does unfortunately impose an additional network overhead as traffic has to go as follows.
    client ----> AFP ----> Server -----> NFS -----> NAS
    What you could consider to help at least a little bit is to connect the server to the NAS on a totally separate network to the network the server uses to talk to the clients on. The main network would be between the server and clients, and you would use a second Ethernet connection just link the NAS and the server. As the clients will not need to talk directly to the NAS this will not be a problem. This would at least mean that each network only gets one set of traffic either AFP or NFS but not both and means the server can use both at full speed at the same time.
    The Mac Pro still has two built-in 1Gbps Ethernet ports but you can also get either a USB3 Ethernet adaptor or a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor (I have used one of these on a Mac mini server).
    If you did not already have the NAS then people starting from new would be better off either getting a Thunderbolt RAID which can be directly attached to the Mac server, or at the higher-end go the traditional route of setting up a SAN and using an FDDI connection.
    Note: You can now get Thunderbolt to FDDI interfaces.
