Accessing a Windows Sharepoint 2003 Server

I recently upgraded my work Mac to Leopard with the latest updates etc. Since upgrading to Leopard, I have lost all access to our companies sharepoint servers - which are 2003 by the way. I can see them in the Browse area, I can get as far as entering my username and password, and click connect, but then it either just fails or reverts back to the drill down level I was on before.
I brought my Mac laptop in, and connected it to the same Ethernet network connection, using Tiger, and Woo Hoo, it works!
After a day on the phone to Apple support, I got the impression they were trying to make out that it is something with our servers that are at fault, and not anything to do with leopard. i am 100% confident, it IS Leopard, but Apple dont seem too concerned.
If you search online, many people have the same problem...
Does this now make apple wonder if there is a bug with this....

I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, and the first issue I've noticed at work is that trying to access our Sharepoint MOSS 2007 site causes Safari to crash. Firefox accesses sharepoint no problems. I also had no problems accessing our sharepoint site using Safari 3 on Tiger 10.4.11 prior to upgrading.

  • 11g R2 - 2 node RAC on Windows X64 2003 Server

    hi
    we are soon going to start building a 2 node 11g R2 RAC on Windows X64 2003 server
    questions
    1. In 11g R2, is creating 2 disk group DATA and FRA still considered the best practice?
    2. On which disk group should we place the OCR and Voting Disk
    3. If there are issues placing OCR and Voting Disk on ASM (there definitely appears to be some concerns / reported issues on this), is using OCFS2 still a viable option?
    4. Can someone point us to a document such as step by step installation of 11g R2 RAC on Windows with ASM or best practices 11g R2 RAC on Windows?
    thanks

    A bit late maybe, but you can check Note 811271.1 - RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows).

  • Problems in connecting to Windows SBS 2003 server from OSX 10.5.x

    Hi there
    Out of many Macs (all 10.5.4) in our network, I have been able to authenticate others to the Active Directory and share File services of the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. But one is having problems. They have authenticated to the active directory correctly from Directory utility.
    But when I try to access the SBS server, there is a message "Connecting to smb://myserver..." displayed for indefinite time. Also, I don't find the smb listed in Directory utility. Is that a problem? If so, how can it be fixed? I searched Internet but couldn't find a way to download smb client.
    Please help.

    It certainly works for me although I have 10.5.2. No special settings, just server address, username and password and it connects. To confirm I just tried it once more a moment ago by creating a new VPN configuration. No problems at all. Is your problem related to a single computer or is it so that now 10.5 computers can connect?

  • Remote Access to Windows 2008 R2 Server configured with local IP

    Hello,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server configured with local IP (e.g. 192.168.1.115).
    Please how can I access it remotely outside its local domain through (remote desktop connection).
    Thank you.
    Tony.

    Hi Tony,
    Based on your description, you would like to connect to the Windows 2008 R2 server via remote desktop connection.
    So you need to enable remote desktop on the Windows 2008 R2 server if it is not already.
    1.Install and configure the Remote Desktop Session Host role service in the Windows 2008 R2 server.
    2.Add related user to the Remote Desktop Users group in the Windows 2008 R2 server.
    3.Configure remote desktop connection in the Client.                   
    Also, due to you would like to access it remotely outside the domain, so you will need a VPN connection or a port forward to connect through.
    For more details, please refer to the guide below,

  • Access 2013 and SharePoint Foundation/Server 2010

    I have a real simple scenario that keeps happening.
    I simple click external data -> More -> SharePoint List from Access 2013 and point it to a SharePonint 2010 list ... then link the list.  It will link and show the data.  Once...  After closing the access file, it just freezes when opening
    it again.
    I've tried this on several windows clients (win7 and 8) and 2 different SharePoint 2010 installs (1 being Foundation, the other being Server).  Both are service packed.
    Any ideas?

    I believe i too am running into this issue.
    I have a CRM application i created in Access 2010 which links to lists on Sharepoint Foundation 2010 (As bundled with Small Business Server 2010) using SSL. I have this application running on various client machines, some on the local network and some via
    the internet. Until now we have been entirely Access 2010 and whenever a new client was required i just copied over the Access front end and it just worked.
    We have a new PC which has Win7 Pro 64bit and Office 2013 Pro. I copied over the front end but when i try and open one of the linked sharepoint lists Access just hangs with the spining circle. I have no problem accessing these lists on SP via Internet Explorer
    and furthermore if i select "Open with Access" and link a list it then opens within Access 2013 OK, (although Windows Security does prompt for the users password). However, if i save this database and re-open it i can no longer open the list!!
    I have noticed that if i run Access 2013 as administrator and open the front end application then there is no problem.
    Possible permissions issue???
    If i repeat what Eric describes, Access 2013 shows me all the lists on out SP site and successfully links it (i.e. It appears under Tables) however, unlike Eric the list won't open (not even once).

  • Remote Access to Windows Small Business Server System via VPN

    Same old story: I use macs at home but I want to be able to connect to our small company Windows network over the internet to pick up and put down files.
    Said company network consists of a server running Microsoft Small Business Server and Exchange. The data sits on some network drives (Z: etc, you know the sort of thing).
    I've sorted out email access - I just connect to the Exchange Webmail interface and do all that using a web browser at home.
    Now for data: well, I have successfully connected to our company network using VPN PPTP by following the guidance in Pogue's Missing Manual. The VPN window reports that I am connected to ip 192.168.0.150 which our network guru tells me is the address of the "Internal virtual network adapter on the VPN." The actual server PC with the data on it is at .100.
    Now, he's a great guy and everything but is definitely a Microsoft man only. When I asked him how to browse our network files on the server he told me to set up a network share using Windows explorer.
    So..can anyone please advise how I can translate that action into OSX land? I have searched the Apple support papers but with no success. These days most hits for VPN concern the blessed iPhone....
    I have tried in the finder running connect to server and typing in smb://servername. That returns error code -36 "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [that address] cannot be read or written". I have tried using the company lan IP address for the server instead and that returns "name or password is not correct".
    I appreciate these things often depend completely on the fine details of our setup. If nothing else, does anyone know a good book to assist here - Pogue is a great basic guide but not really detailed enough for this sort of thing. Failing that, how do I find out what error -36 means? Ta.

  • Access unc windows shares like \\server\share\

    I can mount windows shares both manually and from fstab.
    My question is. Is it possible to access windows shares without explicit mounting, simply with unc like \\server\share ?
    I need it because i host a web application and it need to serve many files on many windows servers with many different shares. Mounting all of them, and the future ones manually is a maintenance nightmare.

    You can do it using fusesmb, too:

  • How can I connect 10.4 Mac to Windows Small Business Server 2003?

    I have seen some other discussions touching on this topic and have tried the various solutions but am getting nowhere. I can't connect my iBook, which is running Tiger, to our office's server, a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I am the only Mac user and as a Mac devotee actually spent my own hard cash for the iBook. (I work for a non-profit with low funds.) Previously, when our office had a different server and I had Panther, I could access the server. Then it was purely an academic exercise, since I had no need to access the shared files. Now I have a project that requires this, and I am stumped. Our part-time IT consultant is also stumped. We have tried a lot of the suggestions from other posts, to no avail. I suggested to the IT guy that there could be a problem regarding the encryption of my password, and I think he tried that. We have tried various versions of the domain name. The server comes up in the list when I follow the "go--connect to server--browse" path, but we come up empty. We've gotten error message -36, a message that we are trying to connect an alias to something that can't be found, and a message that we don't have enough information to go any further (something like that). I am writing from my eMac at home, so I can't reconstruct the situation right now. I have found in my extensive internet search that Thursby has something called ADmitMac that is pretty expensive software ($119 for one person) that I could install on the iBook and could help me access the Windows Small Business Server 2003 without doing anything else to the server. Does anyone know if that would that work? Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
    eMac and iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I have specific errors listed below:
    Actually, I have been encountering similar problems.  I have an end user who wants to connect to an SBS 2003 server, and can not connect/use RWW because the Active X will not work, cannot use the VPN in PPTP mode because Windows 8 disallows the connection
    ("Error 942: The connection could not be established because the authentication method used by your connection profile is not permitted for use by an access policy configured on the RAS/VPN server."), and cannot use an L2TP VPN connection because it requires
    a certificate "Error 766: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSEC require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.".  I attempted to utilize the SBS Connection Tool downloaded
    from RWW, but it fails with a proxy error ("Unable to execute custom script (Configure proxy settings for IE). Required file could be missing." - likely due to the PPTP tunnel it tries to use). I went so far as to install the Enterprise CA on the server, installed
    the Hotfix
    (KB922706) so that the website could be accessed from Vista and above, and installed the requested certificate.  The VPN fails to connect after
    it times out and fails to negotiate a connection.  This last one is "Error 789: L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
    encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer."
    I have screenshots to share if anyone cares to see.  I really just get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to kill SBS 2003 by ingoring it into oblivion. 
    The VPN works fine with Windows 7 clients by the way.

  • Clean Access and Windows 2003 Server

    I am trying to install the Clean Access Client on a VM running Windows 2003 Server. When I connect to our customer's network the VPN client appears to connect properly and I see the Clean Access window. Then it all seems to fall over. My customer tells me I should see a blue window with a red OK button on it but I never see it. As a result I never get completely into the network. Is this because I am running this on Windows 2003 Server or should I be looking at something else? Can this run in a Virtual Environment and on 2003 Server?

    I work it out partially by myself:
    1)
    (excuse me, I meant "kinit and Krb5LoginModule" not "kinit and kinit.exe").
    Krb5LoginModule seems to work now (with TCP). The output is:
    KRBError:sTime is Tue Jun 01 17:13:51 CEST 2004 1086102831000

  • Accessing a Windows 2003 Server

    Hi; this question may have been dealt with already but I'm new here so please indulge me a bit. My office network runs on windows 2003 file server but I just got myself a MacBook Pro. I can see the file server but can't access it. I have MS Office for Mac 2004 installed (Student edition)
    Should it be possible for me to access files on a file server that runs on windows 2003 server? If yes, what do I need to do on either my Mac or ask the admin to do on the server?
    Cheers

    I'm also running several Macs on a Windows Small Business Server (Windows Server 2003) and the only way I am able to pull up the files was to join each one of my Macs to the Windows Server's network domain. You have to do this through the Directory Utility in the Utilities folder. There is one draw back from what I can tell, and it's something that I need some help with. It seems that once a Mac (running Leopard) is joined to a Windows domain, it takes the log in process forever to finish. Logging into a Leopard Mac alone is pretty quick, but after joining the domain, logging into any of the Macs on the Windows domain takes over a minute. If anyone knows the answer to this one, I'm all ears.

  • The number of client access licenses may be reset to five in Windows Small Business Server 2003

    Ran into an issue on the server after the power loss.
    My Client Access Licenses were reset to 5 with Maximum usage of 12. I have about 25 PC's and Server also hosts exchange, which now prevents users from accessing OWA and local profiles. After digging around and reading logs, I eliminated issue to the licensing.
    All the steps described in the  Article ID: 888818 do not work, since the licenses were never backed up in the first place. Resetting, did not help either, since it's looking for a file, we don't have.
    Additionally, the auto-populated solutions, were already tried with no success. 
    Please let me know if there is a way to restore licensing via original license key, provided on the machine, or I have to purchase it.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Trying to access Windows 2003 Server share with Mac OS 9.04

    Hi
    I cannot connect to a Windows 2003 Server share on my 2003 domain. I can access the share with my MacBook (10.4.9) & my G4. I have File Services for Mac installed & can ping the server from all OS 9 Mac.
    Can anyone give me some tips?
    MacBook     Administrator

    How are you trying to connect to the server? Via AppleTalk or IP? (What utility are you using to ping the server from the Mac OS 9 machine?) Since you're not providing any information about error messages you're receiving or the symptoms of your problem I can only provide the following information.
    If you're selecting the server from a list in the Chooser and clicking the OK button then the connection should switch to IP automatically. Make sure your Mac has TCP/IP enabled and is receiving an IP address or that you have an appropriate IP address hard-coded. You can try forcing an IP connection by entering the IP address or DNS name of the server in the Chooser rather than selecting it from the list in the Chooser.
    Or you can try forcing an AppleTalk connection by selecting the server in the Chooser and holding down the Option key as you click the Connect button. If you're asked to enter your name and password then you're communicating properly with the server. This is, however, a very slow connection compared to IP.
    Finally, be sure you update to the latest version of Mac OS 9, which is 9.2.2 <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288>.
    Hope this helps! bill
