Mac OS10.6.2 Server and Windows Vista 64 bit client

Can anyone tell me if the problem below was a quirk or if there is an issue generally.
I recently purchased a new workstation using windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
Our Apple Sserver had a share on it for the intended user of this workstation but I simply could not get a connection to the server. Everytime I tried to connect it said I did not has sufficient privledges.
If I tried logging into the server from another workstation, using XP, Vista or Windows 7 32bit versions I could access the share with no issues.
I eventually erased and installed a 32bit Windows 7 Pro onto the workstation and it connected perfectly.
This was the forst workstation we have bought running a 64bit operating system, and now faced with a further two workstations to purchase I am somewhat worried.
Is it an inherent problem, or was it just a rough PC with perhaps a problem with the initial install of Vista 64bit.
Any help would be appreicated.
The Server just runs AFP, DHCP and SMB sharing, no open directory, no DNS. Also its just a workgroup not a domain we are trying to connect to.
Thanks
mark

The main problem you're going to have is that Vista will not authenticate in a compatible way to Mac OS X server, not without modifications at the Vista client.

  • Cannot share desktop - Lync 2013 server and Windows 8 (64-bit) client

    Currently my new Lync server cannot share a desktop through a Lync 2013 client installed on a Windows 8 workstation. The client is patched up with the latest MS patches (much beyond the patch issues noted about a year ago, the patches in question do not
    even show up as installed).
    I get the same "An error occurred during the screen presentation" message. I do have a NVIDIA video cards on the workstations, but they too are patched up. The same systems have no issues sharing desktop screens in the Lync 2013 client on Windows
    8 systems when they are connected to a Lync 2010 server.
    I have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

    Did this issue happen to other Lync 2013 client?
    As you mentioned that you can used the same Lync 2013 to sharing desktop screen when it connects Lync Server 2010 while you couldn’t share desktop screen when it connects to Lync Server 2013,
    I think it is related with Lync Server.
    Please check if you can find any errors on Lync Front End Server.
    Check all Lync server services are all started.

  • Networked HP K5400 printing everything backwards, server computer Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate

    Our networked HP K5400 printer has just started printing everything backwards, (word, notepad, Adobe reader, web). The server computer is a Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate.
    Configuration has been working fine since we got the printer over a year ago. I do not believe there have been any recent updates or new software installed since it's been printing backwards. A new router (Cisco Linksys E4200) was added but pretty sure it was printing fine even after router added a month ago. I have checked the properties and made sure Mirror Image IS turned off.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Carol

    Okay, couldn't find any HP software on the server computer.
    I DID however recheck all the settings and still only able to find MIRROR IMAGE set to OFF everywhere I looked..
    UNTIL I clicked around and found one setting a little buried and it was set to ON.. Did a test print on something that was printing backwards and it printed correctly.
    Thanks for your suggestion. When the printer gets moved to the router I'll have to recheck all the settings but until then I hope this fixes the problems.
    Carol
    Oh here is what I had to do.. The first part are the same directions that I found on here and other places but didn't work for me, second part is what fixed my problem.
    START>CONTROL PANEL>HARDWARE AND SOUND>PRINTER
    Rt. mouse CLICK on selected printer
    CLICK PROPERTIES
    CLICK button on bottom of GENERAL tab PRINT PREFERENCES
    select OFF for MIRROR IMAGES
    if that is alread set to OFF (which mine was already set to OFF)
    CLICK on ADVANCED tab
    CLICK on PRINTING DEFAULTS button at bottom
    select OFF for MIRROR IMAGES (which mine was set to ON)
    CLICK OK/APPLY to exit
    test print

  • Lightroom 5 and  Windows Vista 72 bit O.S.

    I purchased and downloaded Adobe Lightroom 5.  During its installation, I learned that it is not compatable with my Windows Vista 72 bit operating system.  The product package indicated "Microsoft Windows XP not supported."  No mention was made regarding Vista. It is a fair assumption that Vista would suffice, since it is later than the operating system mentioned. Is there a work-around for this?  If not, what will Adobe do to resolve this dilemma? I would be satisfied to exchange for Lightroom 4.

  • Compatibility of Quicktime and Windows Vista 64 Bit Version

    I am currently using Win Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I'd like to try the 64 bit version (which I have).
    I see the latest version of Itunes is compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit versions. However, that does not appear to be the case with Quicktime. Can anyone confirm this?
    If Quicktime is not compatible with Vista 64 bit, is the so called Quicktime Alternative a viable solution?

  • Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

    Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked. 
    I have a palm treo.  When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
    "unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
    I have rebooted, soft reset, etc.    and still get the same message.  
    I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program.  That was one suggestion.
    I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
    Nothing works.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
    Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection.  Either Bluetooth or Infra Red.  The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red.  You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

    While there is no USB driver written, it is most certainly possible to sync a T5 via BlueTooth or Wifi!!!

  • Photoshop CS2 and Windows Vista 64 bit

    I have just loaded Photoshop CS2 onto my new laptop which has Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit as its OS.
    All working well except I notice that,when I made adjustments to a layer (for example,using curves to colour adjust,or even just brighten midtones),it takes a long time for any change to take place to the values of colour sample points which I may have applied to the background layer.
    I usually place four colour sample points on my background image to monitor changes as I make adjustments.  When I used Photoshop CS2 on my previous laptop which had Windows XP as its OS,changes were instant.
    I have the cache level set at 6 in Preferences with 70% available RAM set.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Ian

    A couple more ideas:
    Make sure CS2 is fully updated. In Vista, turn the Aero interface on and off to see if it makes a difference.
    Try the old standby of resetting preferences, as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Help with compatibility of photosmart printer 7760 and Windows Vista 64 bit

    Just purchased an HP Pavilion dv5-1150us OS  Vista 64 bit,.  I have a HP photosmart photo printer model 7760.  I did not use the disc that came with the printer to install the printer.  Instead I downloaded the needed driver for vista from HP,  However, doing so has left me with a printer that prints in a normal mode only, and I do not have any printing software anymore.  I cannot change the resolution of the printing for photos where I would want best or max dpi, and have lost all editing and printing options.  Is there any way in which I can install the software for the printer and make it work with vista?  I was using it with windows XP SP2. and achieved fabulous results.  The printer works well and is relatively new.  I do not need another cheap printer for documents, which is what this has turned into when using it with my new laptop.  Please help.

    Hi RFG1022,
    Thanks for getting back to me with the printer information.  Much appreciated.
    What I would like to do is go step by step through a series of troubleshooting steps with you.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    The next step would be to remove the usb cable from the printer and from the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    Please click on the following link for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so the changes take affect.
    When the computer is back up and running, disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running so that we don't have any conflicts with the reinstall.
    The next link is for the HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    Save the file the desktop so that it creates its own icon. Double click the new icon and follow the instructions. The install will prompt you as to when to connect the usb cable or wireless option so please do not connect the usb until asked to do so.
    If you have any other questions, please let me know.
