Access network resources

I'm trying to access one of my win2003 servers and can not do it via my mca os x 10.3.9. I use the go to.connect to server and type in my server address such as fileserver-srv01. I can access this from any other computer but my mac. Currently, I'm using fetch but would rather not have to use an ftp program to access lan resources.

Hi canagirl
Yes you are off topic, but anyway, you first need to select a category on the page Mac OS X v 10.3 & earlier.
There you'll see categories such as
Customization
Getting Online etc
Now having selected the category (getting on-topic if you like
you can then post a new topic which will be what your Q is about.
It will appear in that category as well as the combined page of all categories as well.
good luck

Post laptop crash: form won't submit/can't access network resource

I distributed a form on 5/12 through the 'distribute form wizard' in Acrobat 9 Pro. On 5/14 my laptop motherboard fried. We retrieved my data & imaged another computer, but then my responses file seemed to have issues, not wanting to import any responses, and it appeared I'd lost data. Fastforward to today: I have my laptop back w/new motherboard, and the original responses file is intact including data from responses made last week before the crash. Form submission deadline was yesterday, and I'm missing responses I expected to have by now. I used the link to checkout the form's condition and filled it out myself and learned it can't be submitted.Error msg: 'Acrobat could not submit your data. Please see Tracker for more information.' Tracker says Could not access the network resource.
So the question is..... how do I fix this, and can I repair this without notifying all the people or what? This is critical - I'd done so much testing before distributing the form, but who would have known the end was near for my motherboard? I'm assuming that incident had something to do with all this, although I'm not sure I understand exactly why. Please help...thanks! --Karen <>

Hi. I have had very similar problems and have not received any help at all. Have you?

Portal failed to access remote resource due to network failures

Hi,
We have a portlet that allows users to upload files to a SQL Server database and make it available for other users to access. The portlet code is on our remote servers. Everything works fine in dev environment, but certain files fail in pre-prod and prod within the portal, but work fine when the code is executed outside the portal.
I keep getting this error:
Error - Portal failed to access remote resource due to network failures. Try again later or contact your portal administrator.
What could the problem be?
Thank you for your help.

If the Studio service looks good on the remote server where Studio is installed (check that
the service is started and look in the Studio logs for any warnings or errors), you should
also verify the configuration settings in the Studio remote server object. Is it properly
configured and pointing to the correct remote server?
If so, check the portal servers access to the Studio server via the port specified in the remote
server (default is 11935). You can test this by doing a telnet test on the portal server. In a cmd
prompt (Windows) or on the CLI (Unix), type 'telnet [studioserver] 11935', where "<servername> is
the name of your Studio remote server. The screen should just go blank, meaning that there is
something accepting connections on that port on the given server. (We would hope it's the Studio
app and not another service occupying that port.) If you get "Could not open connection to the host"
or some such similar result, check that the network between the portal and the Studio remote server
is open (ie, make sure there isn't any port blocking or a firewall in place that would hinder the
communication between the two servers).

When accessing shared folder - 'You might not have permission to use this network resource" .. A device attached to the system is not functioning

On a Windows 2008 R2 server that had been working fine, all of a sudden some shared folders became inaccessible. Clicking on them returned the following: "<Folder> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. A device attached to the system is not functioning."
If I create another share with a different name for that same folder, it works fine. If I delete the original share then recreate it with the same name, I get the same error. However, if I right click on the problematic share and select 'map
network drive' that works. So this would not appear to be a permission issue.
I discovered this problem because the path for mapping the home folder as a property of their AD account stopped working.
I have tried most of the common things found on the internet. I've tried accessing via IP, same issue. While I only have a couple 2003 servers, those can access this resource.
At this point, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated. I also have some reports of potential issues with some printer mappings too which I will have to investigate in the morning.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

Hi,
Can you access the shard folder locally? Is a specific server cannot access the shared folder? Please try to Boot your server in Clean Mode to check if some third-party software cause the issue.

ISE Admin Menu Access Policy and Network Resources

Hello Board,
Does someone experience the same issue as me, if using an Admin Menu Access Policy?
First of all, I'm using the latest ISE release (1.1.3.124 with patch 1).
I created a custom Administrator Menu Access Policy (Admin Access -> Authorization -> Permissions -> Menu Access).
But basically I allowed (show) all menu items.
Then I bind this permission profile to an Admin Authorization Policy
Everything works very well, but I have issues, if I want to administer "Network Resources", if I'm using this admin menu access
- In "Network Devices", there is no Menu bar (no "add", "delete" or "edit" button)
- In "Network Device Groups", there is just the folder "Groups" on the left side, but there is no way to create anything or navigate into the groups
I'm not quite sure if this is a configuration fault on my side or just some kind of bug.
By the way - I'm using the latest firefox.

As far as I know everything seems fine to me from the configuration side. You can try downgrading the ISE version to 1.1.2 patch 5 and also try changing the browser which might help.

Strange network resource display, no AFP but get SMB/FTP access.

On a Mac OS X 10.4.6 system, when the network resources are accessed via the finder or the 'go' menu option, the system seems only able to access SMB or FTP shares, even though the corresponding machine is an Mac OS X 10.4.6 system
and shares AFP volumes with other Mac OS X 10.4.6 systems.
For example:
On the broken machine, I have:
Network->My Network->Big_Machine
Network->My Network->Big_Machine
Network->WinNet->Big_Machine
Network->WinNet->BigJunkWindows
When I access, say the first item in 'My Network', I get a FTP access dialog. When I access the Second item, I get the SMB dialog.
When I access the Big_Machine in the WinNet, I get the SMB dialog.
Needless to say, on a 'working' system accessing 'Big_Machine', I get the AFP
dialog under "My Network", and the SMB dialog under the WinNet.
... and further... 'My Network' is not the name of the WinNet...
Any clues appriciated...
John Clark

It's not that AFP is messed up. I can access the machine via AFP from other machines. It's the stuff that is in the finder window that seems to be 'really' confused.
I'll have to test this when I get to the machine, but as I recall, if I explicit use the 'go' menu, then explicitly use 'afp://192.168.0.153' to access the remote machine, this works, and gives me the AFP prompt.
The behavior seems to indicate that the finder has recorded some 'path/url' wrongly, and refuses to be refreshed.

I am trying to uninstall itunes as it will not open error 7 (windows 126) so that I can reinstall but keep getting the message.. The feature you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is unavailable itunes.msi... Any suggestions anyone

I was unable to open iTunes and got a message error 7 (windows 126) so I tried to uninstall and download latest itunes 10. When I tried to remove old version of itunes I got the message... The feature you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is unavailable and when I try to download iTunes 10 the message reads.... The installation source for this product is not aailable. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. Can anyone help?

A msi file is short for microsoft installer. It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program. For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before.
I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes. It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help. Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes. It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
This was what was said.
Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Large number VSS errors "The specified network resource or device is no longer available."

I have a 2 node Hyper V Cluster backed up via Veeam Off-Host Proxy. I've already logged, without answer, a thread about the Off-Host Proxy server randomly (I guess) creating new duplicate iSCSI connections.
Today I have a single VM that won't backup. On inspection through the hosting servers Application Log I see a high amount of VSS errors being logged which I believe is possibly related to the iSCSI issue being logged by the SAN.
I'm not sure how to "show" the issue without a giant wall of the events but there is like half a dozen different events being logged when whatever this is is happening. For instance as well last night 60/61 VMs backed up find, but these errors
were logged constantly while the backup ran...
The question as well is is this a Windows/VSS issue, a Veeam issue or a Equallogic issue?
Also how do I find what '\\?\Volume{06fba49e-9519-11e4-80cc-000af75dc050}\'. actually is?
In order of how they come I guess:

This is the issue having with redundant iSCSI connections being created:
Not sure this is a Veeam issue, just that it's occurring with Veeam backup process.
We have a server configured as an Off-Host Proxy with Veeam; it connects to the SAN storage via iSCSI same as the other hosts but accesses the storage as read only.
Randomly we will get alerts from the SAN as below:
iSCSI login to target '172.16.0.50:3260, iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1-2015-01-03-14:13:37.2774.1' from initiator '172.16.0.44:64108, iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:arcbackproxy.domain.local' failed for the following reason:
Requested target not found.
On inspection of the Off-Host Proxy's iSCSI configuration additional iSCSI connections are present as inactive, with an existing connections name amended with the date at the end. For instance (and in the example error above) there will be:
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1
and
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1-2015-01-03-14:13:37.2774.1
Not really causing an issue, the backups are running OK, or any issues we have aren't related. But getting annoying getting the alerts from the SAN of the Off-Host Proxy trying to connect to an incorrect iSCSI target.
Any ideas why this is occurring?
Obvious is we delete the extra connection, which stops the alert, but the issue will reoccur within a day or two usually.
Today I found twice the alert as above and sure enough the iSCSI on the Off-Host Proxy is as below:
Maybe these redunandant connections being created is related? Maybe that's the where the "The specified network resource or device is no longer available." is coming from or something?

Unable to access local resources or RDP over VPN Connection

Dear Tech People.
I have a Windows 7 computer that I have created a VPN service through Windows on. I am able to connect to the VPN from outside of my network with my Macbook Air. However, I am unable to connect to the computer via RDP, nor can I ping my PC that
I am VPN'd into (192.168.1.252). When I am connected, the IP address that I am assigned, is 192.168.1.150. When I run ipconfig /all, I can see the "RAS < Dial In> Interface for VPN, and it is setup with an ip address of 192.168.1.151
with a /32 subnet mask. There is no default gateway listed, which is why I believe that this is not working. I cannot determine any way to make this change.
Basically, I have a VPN connection that I can do nothing with. I cannot access shared resources, nor can I start a remote desktop session. The pass through is setup for PPTP with my router, which I believe is working, as I couldn't even connect
prior to this. Below is the full results of my ipconfig /all command on my Windows PC:

ITunes 8.0 installation error --- network resource is unavailable / .msi

Hello.
When I was trying to install the latest version of iTunes I found an error message saying the following:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below."
Yet, when I search my entire computer I cannot find any file named iTunes.msi.
To further the problems, I cannot uninstall iTunes because it is prompting me with the exact same message I typed out above.
I am also unable to open the iTunes program because of this same problem. I cannot access iTunes, yet I see it in my program files directory.
Oh, and after that message above appears, I click cancel and this message shows up:
"The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
What does this all mean?
Please help!

When you get messages about network resources and missing msi files, it usually means you need the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for removal of iTunes with clean up and reinstall.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed – you should find entries the programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Error message stating "Network resources not found"

I distributed a form and now I am receiving a message stating "Network Resources Not Found". What can I do? Nothing has been changed since the form was distributed and the "help person" was no help when talking to them.

The forms are saved on my personal computer and they have not been moved since they were created. The form was given an open access so that anyone could access and complete/submit the form. It had been working perfectly until Tuesday when the error message started to appear.

Forms and Network Resource

I have made several forms using Adobe 9 and distributed them. Most often I get a message in the Tracker that says "you do not have access rights to this network resource". Is Acrobat.com considered a network resource? If so, then how do I change my settings? When the error message appears, I cannot ever stop collecting information or delete the message. Help!

Finally, someone else who has had the same experience! I was finally able to get a bunch of me error listings in the Tracker deleted. I have an alternate email account. I went into Acrobat.com and "shared" the files giving the error posts with that email. Then went into the alternate email, put in some bogus information, and hit the submit button. Later I went back into Tracker and was able to remove the response form the list.
This method did not work for all of the postings. I had three that had been emailed instead of diseminated via Acrobat.com, and those postings have not been able to be deleted yet. But at least a chunk of the junk is gone.
After trying to get some answers on some tricky problems, I get the distinct impression that Adobe is just so darn big, with so many different facets, that it is practically impossible for any tech to have knowledge of how all the different programs work together. Either that or ya just have to suck it up and either pay the big bucks to get more in-depth professional help, of get lucky, like I did with this fix.
Pretty darn hard to get work done when ya have to spend valuable time fereting out solutions to problems that should never have popped up, eh?

Access System Resources using Java Applet via Java Script

Hello
I can access my Applet public methods (and this methods access system resources) via Java Script if I do the following: System.setSecurityManager(null);However, I'm making this post because I don't like this solution.
Supposedly, setting the SM to null is like making the Applet (which is signed and was accepted by the user via a prompt from the browser) behave like a normal Java program that has no restrictions. (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/environment/security.html, second paragraph)
However, this feels like a workaround of something that is supposed to be there (the SM).
Also, if I make the methods invocation from inside the applet (using swing buttons and textboxes for example) I can use the standard SM without no problems.
From my readings, the problem regarding Java Script invocation, comes from the fact that the Java Script is not a secure (not signed) source (because you can invoke public methods the way you wish from it i guess) on the contrary to the applet methods invoked by the buttons.
Possible solutions I found in the web range from using the public static Object doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction action) method or imaginative things like creating new threads on the public method that call the private methods that access the system resources (supposedly because the new thread runs under the safe environment of the applet)
I almost got a glimpse of hope with this post http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5325271&tstart=0
However, none of these solutions worked, the only results were with the setResourceManager(null)So, any one can contribute with a solution for this? Should I keep trying to find a solution other then the one I already have?
Regards
Cad

1. yes
2. yes
Note for 2. the converter will run the applet with SUN jre for sure if the user has IE.
IE will use the ActiveX technology to run the applet (as with Macromedia Flash).
For Netscape I am not sure, but I would think Netsape will use the plug in provided by
SUN.
Note for SUN jre 1.3. If this applet is to be used within a company that uses a proxy with
ntlm authentication the 1.3 applet cannot connect (to the Internet) through this proxy since
ntlm athentication is supported since j2re1.4.2_03. There is one version before that but
that one will pop up a window asking for the user's domain account and password wich
is both lame and crappy.
As for the IE settings, IE has a default setting that askes users the "do you trust"
queston for AciveX controls within the Internet securety zone (tools -> internet options
-> security).
Sincy anybody can make ActiveX controls (allso sign them) a user that has a problem
to find the "no" button will sooner or later install a malicuous ActiveX control (spy ware
or a virus).
If this user's desktop is within your company's network it will cause serious harm.
This is why most company's disable this by changing the default internet expolorer
settings. Since I assume you are writhing this applet to be used by a company I allso
assumed that company has someone to maintain the desktops. In that case I
assume that person would want to control the security within the SUN jre instead of
letting the user deside what to trust and what not.

Feature on a network resource is unavailable

I've installed MSOffice 2007 office suite and i can access and set up my outlook profile, connect with our exchange server, and send and receive email. However, when one of our users attempts to open outlook from her user profile Outlook attempts to install
Outlook 2003 from a network location that no longer exists. As a matter of fact we no longer have a functional copy of Outlook 2003 to create and MSI with. I am assuming that when outlook 2003 was first installed they installed it from the network using
an MSI but we no longer do this.
I've uninstalled MSOffice 2007 and re-installed it twice with out any change. I've removed the user's windows profile from the workstation but that had no effect on Outlook trying to install Outlook 2003 whenever she attempts to open Outlook 2007. This is
the message i get:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to an folder containing the installation package OUTLS.MSI in the box below."
There is a "Use source:" text box i cannot type into at the bottom of the window and I don't get a browse button either. What is causing windows to think we are trying to install Outlook 2003 whenever we click on the Outlook 2007 icon and and how
do i stop that? MSOffice 2007 is already installed and the Outlook icon is located under the MSOffice 2007 folder in the start menu so there is no reason for it to try and install Outlook 2003... right?

I've seen this before. It happens when Office2003 *was* installed from a network path, and it is still (partially or completely) installed [there are registry entries recording the path, in the workstation], and the path is no longer available.
[it also happens if Office, or in fact any kind of MSI installation, was installed from a source path, and that path is no longer available]
in this case, it's not the user/profile, it's the workstation, and the registry entries stored there.
If you have no need of Office2003 upon that computer, you can either repair Office2003 so clean removal can occur, or, you can use one of the OFFscrub fixit tools to clean it up.

Using NAP/NAC to Protect Network Resources

Hello,
I'm intending to create ACL in a Layer3 Switch to project our network resources and enhancing the security of our network resources.
Instead of creating plenty of ACLs in the switch, is it possible to use NAP/NAC to protect these resources and allow only certain resources available to our users?
Regards,

Hi,
DHCP NAP can be used to modify the routing table, so you could limit access to an IP address, but you can't use it to limit access to specific ports (i.e. web services on 80 and 443). This requires a firewall or ACL.
I think that for what you want you will need to configure an extended ACL on the switch.
Please read the link I gave above (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn425037.aspx). This shows how to assign specific IP addresses to certain types of client devices. You can
then use the ACL on the switch, or a firewall, to filter access based on source IP address.
You might also went to spend time making a list of all the devices on your network, including the type of network access (wired, wireless, or both) they have, and the users (staff, student, other) that have these devices. If possible, group the devices into
2 or 3 basic groups and decide what kind of network resources they should have access to.
If you want to filter based on user group, you will need to implement some kind of authentication method, such as 802.1X with PEAP/MSCHAP v2 or PEAP/TLS. If you don't understand these methods yet and haven't been using 802.1X you should spend some
time reading about it.

I hope this helps,
