Accessing file shares on Vista

No matter what I do I cannot access an administrative share that is located on Vista from my Mac. I can explicitly share a folder and it works just fine but admin shares just give me the generic "Could not connect to server...".
Anyone else notice this issue? Know of a fix??

Hi,
SMB uses a single session for a pair of IPs and all file transfer between these 2 IPs are made over this session. This makes the file transfer more efficient over the network. On the flip side, since only one SMB session is maintained, clients coming through
NAT will have problems since all these clients are presented as a single IP to the server. With SMB, only a single session will be maintained and thus there is nothing unique for each client. This breaks the communication.
We will need to use NetBIOS over TCPIP in place of SMB. This can be achieved by:
1. Disabling SMB on the server or on all the client machines by setting the registry:
Name: SMBDeviceEnabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
The location of the registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters. You may have to create this if not already existing.
2. Block TCP port 445 for the segment accessing shares through NAT

Accessing file shares from JSP

Hi,
I need to be able to access file shares from a JSP page. Here's the JSP code:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page errorPage="errorPage.jsp" %>
<%
String fileSystemPath = "\\\\130.26.1.199\\MeetingManager30\\test.txt";
File f = new File(fileSystemPath);
f.createNewFile();
%>The above code resides in a server with IP 130.9.68.6 and is deployed onto the Tomcat on the server.
When I tried to run the above code, I got this error

I know it's a security issue, because I've encountered the equivalent problem in ASP/IIS, and I had to give a domain user rights to both the IIS Virtual Directory, and the file share to be able to access.
Any ideas how to set up Tomcat to be able to access the file share successfully?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Veer,
From what you have posted it looks like while logging your error another problem occurred. Did you get any output from your System.out calls? If not can you try adding a few in order to home in the problem area.

File share with Vista

I have a mac and I'm trying to connect to a file share on a windows vista machine. I can find and connect to the PC but when I try to copy files to the share i get these three messages. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y244/pyroman2007/errors.jpg
I have all the appropriate privileges on the PC and I can read files that are being shared. I just can't write to the share.

Hey tell me who provides you with the Internet Service Provider according to that i will give you the steps.If its a Cable or DSL connection i will give you the steps.

Accessing File Shares Over NAT

Hello,
I am working with a client that set up a new sub net that uses hide NAT. When I try to access a file share on a server in a different sub net, I can only browse for a few seconds and then an error such as "Server service not started" or "network
name no longer available" appears, and I can't browse folders on that server anymore (it has Server 2003 SP2). Netmon found that the connection was constantly being reset. If I reconfigure the same client (XP SP3) with it's original unNATed IP address,
everything works fine, and the Windows firewall is disabled on both the server and client. Is there a trick to get CIFS or SMB or whatever to work over hide NAT?
Thanks!

Access Denied trying to access file shares with correct credentials

I am getting the Access Denied message when trying to connect to network shares from Windows 10 (9926)
When trying to access a network share, I get the username and password prompt, and it always fails.
Using the same credentials on a Windows 8.1 machine to connect to the same shares and it will work.
Shares can be hosted on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1, Linux Samba, NAS, or even \\127.0.0.1 and all will fail with the same message.
But you can access the shares hosted on the the windows 10 machine from other remote machines.
Credentials have been entered in the format of: domain\username,
machinename\username, and just username
All machines are on the same workgroup\domain
NOTE: Typing in an invalid machine name will also bring up the credential prompt.
I.e. entering \\QWERTY will still ask you for your username and password and fail immediately.
The same shares worked in the version before 9926

Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2- File Share suddently no one can access. After reboot, it is back normal. Why?

We have file server, which is using windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 2. Today suddently no one can access its file share. I try to login to the server and open services, but it is so slow to respond. I have to reboot the machine. After the
server reboot, it is back normal. Any one know why?
Here are the system errors shown before the machine rebooted. First question, I am not sure which error really causes the problem. The machine is set to use WSUS to get windows update. On the automatic updates, it is set to "Download updates
for me, but let me choose when to install them." Second question, why the machine is still trying to install update without permission? Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
As you mentioned, users suddenly cannot access file share, the issue most likely caused by third party software, such as antivirus software. Please refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
File share become inaccessible

For your second question, you can Configure Automatic Updates group policy and choose
Auto download and notify for install. This option automatically begins downloading updates and then notifies a logged-on administrative user prior to installing the updates
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

Can not get access files from Windows 7 to Claims-based file authorization share

We have AD level 2012R2, DCs running 2012R2 of course, and we have clustered File Server (3 FSNodes running 2012R2).
We enabled 2 policies
KDC Support for claim
Kerberos support for claim
We created 1 claim type in ADAC (For example "Division" Source Property). Filled this property to all IT AD Accounts by our value "IT"
On FS made a share folder ITDivision:
- set permissions Domain Users can Modify if User.Division equals "IT"
so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
=\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)

Hi,
>>so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
=\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)
How is it going? Was there any error message? As far as I know, Dynamic Access Control (DAC) should work for downlevel clients. It’s backwards compatible. As Florain explains in the following blog:
For non-Windows 8 and non-Windows Server 2012 boxes accessing DAC-protected file shares, the users do not carry any claims. For them, the Server 2012-based file share will query Active Directory and proxy the claims request to figure out what claims
the user and machine bring. The file server checks in the name of the user, whether they should have claims. With that information, the file server evaluates the access to the file share. So yeah – DAC works for downlevel clients, too. It’s backwards compatible.
And totally transparent to Windows 7.

Macbook pro can no longer access windows file share. 'This file server is available on your computer'

Hi all,
We have a consultant who uses a macbook pro to access the internet and a windows share within our network. He has been accessing the internet and the windows share fine for over 4 weeks and overnight he can no longer access the internet or this windows share. I have got the error down to a specific windows share which is actually a share on a DC hence the loss of internet. When this user plugs in via ethernet he can view all network locations as expected and can access everyone succesfully bar this specific one. Everytime he tries to access this share he gets the following error: 'This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally'. I have another macbook pro that can successfully access this share.
I have tried renewing leases, browsing the network in finder, using 'cmd + k' all produce the same message.
The user is running Mountain Lion
Any ideas?
Adam

Find and delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file. This is what keeps track of all your current server share mounts. Maybe the file is corrupt or something. Once you delete it, reboot the machine and then try again. Don't empty the trash until you're sure everything works after the reboot.

Help! Trying to access a share disk with file sharing- problems

I have limited knowledge of file sharing, keychain access, and Macs in general.
My school uses the Mac OS 9's for our schoolwide "Accerated Reader" program (a common program for schools accross the US).
I am unable to get the 4th grade class room's Mac computer to access the share disk "AR Folder," which means that the Accerated Reader program won't work in this particular classroom.
I go to "Keychain Access." The infor I get for "kind" is "Apple Share password." I go to "Unlock Keychain: AR Computer," and I type in the correct password. I click "unlock". The next window shows "Keychain: "AR COMPUTER" on disk "MACINTOSH HD" 2 items. My choices are "AR Main Lab" and "AR Main Server." When I click on both (one at a time), and on the next window, when I click "go there" the following error message appears:
:An error has occurred. Unable to go to this item's location. An operating system (-5016) occurred."
What can I do from here on? WHat could be wrong? Help me troubleshoot!
Thanks!

Hello sylves,
First..many people may be hesitant to help answer your posts as it deals with a school and security issues and passwords. It is not too good to mispell "accelerated". This could indicate someone trying to get into an area they don't have permission to access.
I offer sevreal ideas.
1. Perhaps you could explain your position in school.
2. - Ask the tech people at school for assistance. I know this can be had at times. I work in a school with all PC's and only a few Macs so they are not quite up to fixing our mac problems.
3. - post more info as to if these computers are able to use internet or are they just going to the school server etc.
I post this as ideas how to get more help and not disrespectfully.....Jim

All of the sudden our Mac OS X 10.7.4 operating systems are very slow to access SMB shares on our MS2008 file server

Monday all of our OS X Lion Macs can access SMB file shares on our file server and we come in Tuesday morning and now they take at least 1 minute to pull up the file share and sometimes longer. Windows PC's are immediate when connecting to the same shares. I've seen where others with different versions of OS Xhave this issue but what gets me is it happend all at once to machines that were working perfectly the day before.
I've also looked into changes on our servers and as far as I can tell there have been none.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks....

This solution worked for me!
I had a MobileMe account with iDisk configured on my MBP even though I never actually used it. The night they officially shutdown MobileMe the next morning I could no longer connect to my work's SMB file shares (Windows server shares). I found a work around based on some other support threads. If in the "Connect to Server" address field in Finder I specified my crendentials (i.e. smb://username:password@server/) then it worked perfectly fine. This told me it was a crendential issue. Simply deleting the saved server crendentials in KeyChain Access did not resolve the issue. No matter what I would did it would not prompt for login crendentials. Since my Mac login is different than my work domain login I was dead in the water without manually specifiying (not a permenant solution).
After finding this thread I did the following steps and it resolved the issue 100%.
1. Open Terminal
2. cd ~/Library/Preferences
3. ls .GlobalPreferences.plist to verify file exists in that directory
4. rm .GlobalPreferences.plist to delete file
5. ls .GlobalPreferences.plist to verify file no longer exists
4. Go to Force quit to relaunch Finder
5. Lauch "Connect to Server" within Finder and all was good, server connects perfectly
Thank you very much DavidRSewell!!!!

Impossible to access File server shares using a DNS alias

I am currently testing migration scenarios to replace 2 standalone W2K3 File Servers into 1 W2K8R2 Failover Cluster.
Everything went very well, shares are well accessible as long as I use the new File Server names, but...
... when I try to use DNS aliases (of the old servers), It is getting a nightmare!
First, each time I tried to to connect to the shares using the alias name \\tempsf\ I got an error message prompting for Duplicate name on the network.
I solved this first issue by applying the DisableStrictNameChecking
reg key (see below). The Duplicate name error message disappeared and I was able to access to the \\tempsf\ folder but it was empty however I have 2 shares well displayed when accessing it through the real file server name. Moreover, I confirm that :
ping tempsf resolves correctly the real file server name and IP
nslookup tempsf do the same
net view \\realfileserver displays my 2 shares
net view \\tempsf doesn't display anything :-(
Then, I almost tried everything currently documented :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableStrictNameChecking and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new Multi-String value called OptionalNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableLoopBackCheck and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 Add a new Multi-String Value BackConnectionHostNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
And also the SETSPN:
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name> <ServerrName>
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name.domain.com> <ServerNname>
But still nothing... Launch date is approaching, I am feeling so desperate...
Any idea? please... Thanks in advance,
Max
PS : Ahh yes, one more thing, we are using a third-party DNS here (Infoblox) but I don't think it could be the issue.

Hello,
Configure my new File Server (new name, new IP)
Shutdown the old File Server
Map the mirrored SAN disk to the new File Server
Mount Storage and create shares (previously exported from old FS)
Update Alias to point to point to new FS (in Infoblox)
Update Reg keys, setspn and netdom as explained above
Try access. Shares well displayed when using new FS name but nothing when using updated alias despite dns resolution is ok.
I also found the following doc :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2009/01/09/file-share-scoping-in-windows-server-2008-failover-clusters.aspx?PageIndex=2#comments which explain precisely the way the W2K8R2 File Servers are working but without giving any solution to my issue.
Your doc was interesting but didn't help :-(
Anyone else ? Thanks

Open VDW files stored on file share using Visio Web Access

Hi,
Is it possiblwe to view VDW files that are stored in a file share using Visio Web Access in SharePoint?
If so, how?
Opening up a Visio Web Drawing stored in a SharePoint document library is straight forwards however I want to view a visio web drawing stored in a file system using the web access service.
Hope I'm made myself clear.

Hi Jens,
I will suggest you to call the support center, cause there are some bugs related to the issue you are having.

How do you configure the iMac so separate users can access each other's files, especially iPhoto and iTunes? I need to be able to transfer media between two users and not just gain limited access using 'share'.
