Accessing windows server shared folders via IOS devices.

FileExplorer did it! Thanks a bunch.

Looking for suggestions on what route I should go in order to establish connections from IOS devices w/ VPN to windows server 2008 shared folders. Mostly just for employees to upload files to, downloading isn't a big deal. I'm sure there's apps out there that'll achieve this goal so if I'm correct I'm looking for recommendations! Or if there's a better way entirely.
Thanks friends.

Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2

Hello,
I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
simple shared folder on 2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!
Authentication failure

That method in workgroup mode may be a problem.

App that can access windows file sharing

Hello... I've got my Nokia 500 today, but i'm looking for an app that can access windows file sharing via wifi. I want to transfer my picture from cellphone to my computer via wifi..
Nokia 500 -> Wifi -> Computer (Windows File Sharing)...
Anyone please create an app for me

Telexy SymSMB used to be such an app, but was taken off the market (Nokia demanded it, because apparently some Nokia employees were involved in developing the app). Don't know if anything similar has come out since then.

Windows xp shared folders

I can't see my windows XP shared folders from my MBP. I've tried using the finder's go->connect to server and typing in the computer name and also the IP. I type in the pc address and finder defaults to afp://192.168.1.100. I then get an error message saying:
"connection failed
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or ip address and your network connection and try again"

This sill doesn't work. I just got off a call (2 hours long) with a specialist that's very knowledgeable, he was really great! He said this is a known issue with leopard. Here's my setup:
Netgear WRG602 V2 wireless router (connected to 4 port linksys)
Linksys BEFSR41 V2 wired 4 port router
Westell B90 Model using Bellsouth DSL
The support guy asked me all about my network setup. The interesting thing is that I can get further when I'm using wireless. When I use ethernet straight into the Linksys router I can no longer see the computer, only the workgroup.
He's submitting this to engineering and they're going to get back to me in a few days. About the only thing he knows that would work with this setup is a print server.
Oh well So I wait ...
Edit:
And I forgot, he mentioned that enabling file sharing on Leopard shouldn't really fix the problem. He said he had been hearing reports of this.

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

HT1918 I updated my payment information via iOS device exactly as told, but they keep telling me to go to iTunes support to complete the transaction. What do i do now?

I can not access any more shared folders on windows 7 other pc on my homegroup

Hello every one.
I had my home group network working fine over wi-fi connection, (laptop with win 8.1 and laptop with win7) till few days ago I had to format and re install the win 8.1 using recovery disk from toshiba. Since then, although I have setup again the home
group as it was before, I can access the shared folders on win8.1 from win 7 but not the other way around. So when I try to access the shared folders on win 7, on my win 8.1 I receive the message: WINDOWS CAN NOT ACCESS \\WIN 7\\SHARED FOLDER.
Notice that when I open the network folder on win 8.1, my win 7 pc is visible, I click on it, I can see all my shared folders and the above message appears when I click on them.
Apparently some settings have changed on laptop win 8.1
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Sharing Music to iOS device via iCould (Country Issue?)

Does anyone know in what countries the music "sharing" works via iCould?
I live in Sweden and just tried to buy a song on iTunes to get it to my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1.. But i does not work.
I dont' even get the Automatic Update (or what it's called), for Music on my iPhone.
Just for Apps.
Would be rely nice to get it to work, or at least have a clue about when it's supposed to work in Sweden, if that's the issue.

Cannot access my mac shared folders

I know they switched to SMB2 file sharing, but now I cant access the "shared" folders on my mac from any other device. I dont have any other macs in the house. Everything else is Windows or Linux. Before the update to Mavericks I did not have any problem accessing files, but now it simply will not work. Has anyone found a fix to this? Is there a way to switch back to sharing with SMB1?

have you tried menu go/connect to server and then write smb://nome or IP of you computer ?
In application/utilities there is the network utility you can use it to ping the computer you want to access. does it work?
Best Regards.

Apple Mac no longer accesses Windows XP shared Folder on Network

Hi All,
I have a PC running Windows XP hooked up via an ethernet hub to my three macs. I was able to access the "My Documents" folder on the PC no problem (I set it up to be shared on the PC).
I recently had to replace my ADSL modem. I used the installation disk that came with it on one of my Macs, now this Mac can't access the shared PC folder.
It networks fine with the other Macs, and the other Macs talk fine to the PC. The internet connection is fine for all computers (including the PC).
However, when I try to access the folder on this one Mac, I get the message:
"The Alias "XXXXXX" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"
I am then invited to either fix or delete the alias. When I try to delete the alias, I am told that I don't have sufficient privileges (even though I am logged in as an administrator). I can't fix it, because I can't locate what I want it to point to.
I have tried renaming the PC. What happens then is that the alias is also renamed (so the Mac is seeing it after a fashion), but the alias still won't work on this one computer.
I can't help thinking that the install disk has altered network settings somehow on this computer, but I don't know where to go from here.
Help, please!
Cheers!
Karl

Hi
Thanks for your reply:
When I used Terminal, this is what happened (I'd logged in as a root user):
Karl-Texlers-Computer:~ root#
Karl-Texlers-Computer:~ root# cd /automount
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# ls
Servers static
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm Servers
rm: Servers: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm servers
rm: servers: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# sudo rm static
rm: static: is a directory
Karl-Texlers-Computer:/automount root# cd/Network
-sh: cd/Network: No such file or directory
So I still can't delete the servers.
What should I do now, please?
Cheers!
Karl
I think they are at the Root of the HD, in the
hidden Files/Folders/Aliases called...
automount/Servers
automount/static
Network
In Terminal type or paste...
cd /automount
Type ls into terminal to be sure we are there, should
show like...
bdaqua:/automount bdaqua$ ls
Servers static
Now type...
sudo rm Servers
After entering and completing, type...
sudo rm static
Then type... cd /Network
An ls command should show like ...
bdaqua:/Network bdaqua$ ls
Servers
Type...
sudo rm Servers
Reboot and see if we fixed it.
CAUTION: sudo gives you Super Powers, and rm will
remove whatever is typed after it... so you can, if
not precise/careful, remove anything/everything!

Maintain access to network(shared folders) resources if the site loses access to a Domain Controller?

Scenario
Windows 7 users log on to workstations at a site. Domain Controller is up and does the domain authentication for those users across the WAN. Users are then accessing a local(same building) Shared directory on a Windows 2008r2 server, in order to open, modify,
save new files, etc.
Then, the site loses access to the Domain Controller due to a WAN outage.
Question
Will those users that have already logged onto their Windows 7 workstations continue to have access to the shared resources on the local Windows 2008r2 server with their cached credentials(assuming they don't logoff or restart their machines)?? This has
been the case in the past, but wondering if anything has changed with Windows 2008??
Thanks

Hi,
The duration that you can access the server depends on when the server requires re-authentication.
In Windows implementation, SMB session expiration is enforced based upon the client’s support of dynamic re-authentication capability [MS-SMB].
If the client enables the CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit, the server will enforce session expiration. If a client does not set CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the Windows server does not return STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED.
The SMB dynamic re-authentication feature was introduced in Windows XP. From there, Windows-based clients set the CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit to indicate to the server that the client supports re-authentication when the Kerberos service ticket for
the session expires.
Windows servers do check CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH:
If clientCapabilities sets CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the server will set Server. Session.AuthenticationExpirationTime to the expiry time returned by AcceptSecuirtyContext.
If clientCapabilities does not set CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the server will not set Server. Session.AuthenticationExpirationTime, basically a CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit not set by the client means the session will not expire on the server side.
To configure Maximum lifetime for service ticket, you can use grouppolicy. The default value of
Maximum lifetime for service ticket
in Default Domain Policy is 600 minutes.
Note:This setting is applied to DC, not clients.

Hi Zargar,
>>Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 Professional; i am getting empty start menu.
This is normal, for we disabled the option
Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location. This option is enabled by default and it will automatically move the existing content to the new location.
At this moment, we can manually copy the files we want from the local locations.

Can't access Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server backup

Hi!
I was wondering if anybody had the same issue and was able to resolve it:
I am trying to restore some files in Shared folders folder from the server backup. I open dashboard, I see successful full backups, for example 18.1. and want to restore a folder from it. But when I start the wizzard I cannot choose these backups as they
do not exist. I am actually able to chose only the latets backup 9.3.
If I go to wbadmin there is only the latest backup - for example 9.3. No other backups are visible even tough the backup disk E: is 1,5TB and nothing else should be there.
Anybody had similar problem?
Thank you!

So let's recap... You open the Dashboard, click on the Devices tab, then
click to highlight the server, then click on on "Restore Files and Folders
for the server"; the Restore Wizard opens and you select next, specify the
backup location ("On this server"), "Restore from backup that I select
(advanced)" and then run through the calendar to select the desired backup.
However, at this point, no additional backups are available in the calendar?
If so, can you estimate how large your backup is (how much of the 1.5TB
drive was taken up with the original backup)?

Accessing Windows Drive its folders and files through KM

Hi All,
I have portal server installed in my laptop with KM, i would like to access windows C drive with all folders and files in my local machine what are the configurations i have to do.
One more thing
In real time scenario can we use CM repository, my requiremtn is to store documents of diffrent king which repository we can use which data base what configurations we have to set, basically what is the difference between internal and external repositories.
regards,
Murali

Hi Murali,
Internal repositories are those which come created in the KM like etc, documents and many more.
External repositories are folders on diff locations (either on server or at other system) which are mapped to KM as repositories.
Now. about ur requirement : You can try mapping the path c:\ as a folder in KM by making a File Repository manager.
For storing different kind of documents you can make different folders in Windows and map them as repositories by configuring File Rep managers for them
See this[ link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] to know about configuring a file repository manager.
I hope it helps.

Unable to access Facebook through app on all iOS devices

I just encountered a rather strange problem - I'm suddenly unable to access Facebook via the app on any iOS device that's logged into my home wifi network. However, I'm able to access www.facebook.com via Safari or Google Chrome on the same devices, and if I log into a different wifi network the app works fine. I'm also able to access Facebook through my desktop PC when it's connected to my home wifi network. I have two iPads - one with iOS6 and the other with iOS7. It doesn't seem to be a problem with my router since I can access Facebook normally through my home PC. When I try to access using the app on the iPads, I just get the spinning indicator in the upper left and nothing ever loads. I've tried resetting the network, re-booting the router, power cycling the ipad, turning wifi on and back off, etc. and nothing has worked.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am on Sprint 4G, running through a Cradlepoint router. My desktop PC is hard wired to the router and as I mentioned in my post I'm able to get on Facebook from the PC, and also from any laptops that are connected to the router via wifi. I'm also able to log into Facebook on the iPads through Safari or Google Chrome, just not with the app.
