Business Worlplace - Shared Folders

Hi,
Do you know why can´t I see the recipient list of a message in the shared folders?
Thanks in advance,
Maria João Rocha

Sorry fixed it! I had "Video" and "Music" and then removed what was also called "Videos" then I added my public folder back in and, then removed and add the "Videos" folder back in. All seems to be right as rain now!

What happens to shared folders/mail when I disable/remove a mailbox in Exch2010 and which is better to get space back?

We have a number of old mailboxes taking up room. The users are long gone and I looked into removing them. The clients of these users have been moved to others. The users had shared folders that held this info. I have a few questions
about the removal.
1. Is there a difference in time before space is given back if I disable versus remove the user in EMC?
2. If an ex-employee had folders that others are sharing, what happens when I do the remove/disable? Will the folders still be out there on the people who had it shared or will it vanish from them too?
Thanks for your help.

"Best practice" is going to be defined by each company. I worked for Microsoft for 13.5 years, assisting over 100 large companies deploy either Windows or Exchange, and none had the same definition for their "best practice".
If you need access to a mailbox for a time period, you figure out a way to keep it. If you want any terminated employee's mailbox gone tomorrow, it is gone tomorrow.
I am a fan of having some sort of process that runs periodically to clear out unnecessary mailboxes and accounts, but if there are business reasons for keeping them around, that needs to be defined into the process. In my current company, terminated
accounts are kept for 30 days, mailbox included. We give mailbox access to a different employee if required and tell them that if they need anything, they need to pull it into their own mailbox. Then, when the account disappears, the mailbox goes
into the dumpster. So, if someone forgot to pull a message, they tell their boss and live with the consequences.
But again, that's just another example of how it might be handled. You get to define what will work for you, including pulling your business units in to help with the definition.

Unwanted 'Shared Folders'

This is what I'm seeing inside /usr/bin/cyrus/admin/:
Other Users/imapUser1
Other Users/imapUser2
Other Users/imapUser##, etc
Shared Folders/._-akstcmydomainmnsdgs (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Deleted Messages (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Drafts (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Sent Messages (\HasNoChildren)
I found a thread from '06 where someone discovered that the problem happens when a group name is the same as a user name. When he changed the short group name, the problem went away. Sure enough, I realized I did have a group name with the same short name as an (admin) user. However when I changed the short group name and restarted mail service, these unwanted shared folders did not go away.
On a possibly related note, I have also found the same stuff inside /var/spool/imap:
/var/spool/imap/^_-akstcmydomainmnsdgs
/var/spool/imap/Deleted Messages
/var/spool/imap/Drafts
/var/spool/imap/Junk E-mail
/var/spool/imap/Sent Messages
/var/spool/imap/user/user1
/var/spool/imap/user/user2
/var/spool/imap/user/user3
etc
My imap users are seeing these shared folders in their mailbox, and I don't want them to. I cannot delete these shared folders using an email client. What is the best way to delete them? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

ok pterobyte heres the log entries and the header part of messages causing the problem. At the moment the reason the 2 shared boxes are showing up repeatedly is cause there in my queue so qmgr is trying to send them, it creates the error in the log and bingo the shared box appears. The mail DID NOT come from in house as the header snippets will show. (i pulled both raw email files from the /var/spool/postfix/deferred/ to examine) It appears and I'm only guessing cause I'm no expert but someone from the outside is trying to relay a virus/spam through my smtp with some sort of back door in the coding of the from header. Both e-mails in the queue look like spam and have a MIME attach that looks virus like.

Re:Can't able to access shared folders from different VLANs in SG300 series switches

Hi All,
I supplied 3 numbers of SG300 series switches for the sole reason to have inter-vlan routing. I created 4 VLANs in the switches and made one switch as Layer 3 switch and other 2 as Layer 2 switch. Inter-Vlan routing is working fine. I am able to ping PCs from different VLANs. But I am not to access shared folders. Customer has installed Window 2003 server installed and it is in VLAN 1. There are some folders created in this server and it is very important for users to have access to the folders.Also, I am not able to access shared folders in other VLANs. I have created a case with Cisco small business and I got a reply saying that the switches will not support shared folder feature, which I think is not real. I am getting a very time to implement this solution in the network. I have a Sonicwall firewall after Core switch which is connected to ISP.
ISP<----->Sonicwall FW<----->Core Switch<------>Layer 2 switch<------>Layer 2 switch
Kindly help me out to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Prashant K

Hi Prashant,
I think you're running into a Windows firewall issue. SMB file sharing, by default I believe, is only allowed on your local subnet. Please try disabling windows firewall on the computer hosting the shared folder, then see if you can access the shared file.
Best,
David

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64bit) shared folders no longer work with Windows 7 Pro but do work with WindowsXP & Windows 2003

As of last week, our Windows 7 Pro workstations can not map or browse the Windows 2008 Server shares. They can ping the Windows 2008 server. The Windows 7 Pro machines can still access the Windows 2003 Server Shares. The older workstations running Windows
XP can still map to the both the Windows 2003 & Windows 2008 Servers. All the servers can browse to each others shared folders (2 windows 2003 server & 1 windows 2008 server).

Ok, now you're down to network or permissions issues. An unedited ipconfig /all
of server and problem workstation may help. You could also try setting up some auditing.

My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

I can't use shared folders feature in VMware

Arch Linux is the guest system. Windows 7 is the host OS. I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1. After installing vmware tools (the original ones) I can't mount my shared folder. It says
~ mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
I've already searched the forum but I didn't find any solution to my problem.
[Update]
I think that it has something to do with the fact that vmware module sources are not compatible with the new UID and GID types:
uid_t -> kuid_t
gid_t -> kgid_t
I admit that I have no idea about patching sources. I've found this thread. It helped me with patching the vmhgfs module. Unfortunately the vmci module is still failing to compile because it's not patched yet. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
[Workaround]
Well I gave up. I've chosen the easiest way - Samba.

The communication service is used in addition to the standard communication
between the guest and the host. The rest of the software provided by VMware
Tools is designed to work independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the VMCI feature, you can install the driver by running
vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make and the
kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine. These
packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Hi.
I managed to compile open-vm-tools and the kernel module against 3.14.5 kernel. Here is the tarball with the all the files.
I still have an issue : With vmware-player 6.0.2, I can't acces my shared folder :

Forgot to add an install file with a depmod -a inside. You will have to run it by yourself

Shared Folders in mail

I'm running a OS X Leopard Server mail server. Since a few days a folder called "Shared Folders" appeared in all mailboxes. Within this shared folders folder there are several folders with strange names:
._-Dong-seeiuqi
._-Jolie-seignora
.-seer1990
._-seetrus2005
.-seeun1990
._-seiklab
There are now users with these names on my server. I would like to know how this could happen and what it is, and eventually how to remove them.

Sharing folders for 2 users on the same mac

Hey
I have a Vista Virtual Machine (VM) created in VMware fusion and it is stored on a partition on my Bay 2 HDD in my mac pro. it all runs fine when i log in since i am the admin on the box.
I created a Standard user account for my wife. I want my wife to open up VMware Fusion and launch the Vista VM as she pleases to do her work under her account. So i went to sharing in system preferances and selected the folder that contains the VM in "Shared folders" and under "Users" i gave her account read & write permissions. When i log in as my wife and try to launch the VM it says she does not have permissions. I can browse to the folder without any issues. I get the same message if i were to double click the VM also.
I then logged in as the admin and gave her account admin privileges to see if that will fix the issue. when i log in under her account i still get don't have permissions. If she has admin privileges should't she able to have access to any folder on my mac?
The goal is to leave my VM on my Bay2 HDD and have both of us launch Vista VM using VMware fusion successfully from this location under both our accounts
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks
Rpk

Admin permissions does not give you blanket rights to any file. It only gives you the ability to give yourself permission to access a file.
doogald is correct to observe that you have to give your wife permission to read and write to the files inside the folder, and not just read and write permissions on the folder itself. In addition, if your wife doesn't have at least read permission on the folders in which the VM folder is contained, all the way up to the root folder, then she may continue to have problems.
If VM Fusion will allow this, it might be best to move the folder which contains the VM to /Users/Shared. You will still need to ensure that your wife has read and write permission for the folder +and its contents+ but the purpose of /Users/Shared is to share files and folders. This way you won't need to manipulate your permissions beyond making sure the shared folders and files themselves are read-writable by you and your wife.

Server 2003: make user template with read-only access for shared folders

I have need to make a type of user (like Administrator, Power User, Mobile User, User, etc.) that has read-only acess to shared folders. So when I make a new user and assign the "read-only user" template I wish to have, the user can open files
in the shared folders on the server, but not edit, save or delete files. Other users can and should remain able to edit, save & delete.
Before I dig in, is this even possible?

You could create a Group called ReadOnly, and set that to have Read on the ACLs of the relevant files or folders.
Make that template user a member of that group.
As long as they are not also a member of another group that gives them higher permissions, this would work.
Otherwise set the ReadOnly group to deny Write, which would over ride any other permission set.
So,
Folder A
ACL:
ReadOnly : R
Users: Read/Write
If a user is a member of Users & ReadOnly, they would get read/write to Folder A. As permissions are cumulative.
If you did the following:
Folder A
ACL:
ReadOnly : R
ReadOnly: Deny Write
Users: Read/Write
The users in ReadOnly would be denied write, as it overrides the cumulative permissions.

Map a drive to the Remote Web Access - Shared Folders

All companies love Remote Web Access. No need for VPN for access to remote desktop and the "private skydrive" Shared Folders.
Is there anyway to map a drive to these "private skydrive" Shared Folders? you can map a drive to the real skydrive and to Sharepoint so surely it is possible?

The trick that I found was to upgrade my file server to server 2012 R2 and configure iSCSI Target for the resource I wanted to access by RWA. On my RWA Server I then used the iSCSI initiator to connect to that Target. This makes the shared drive appear
as if it is a native drive on the RWA server. Once this was done I configured that drive, or a folder within that drive for access with RWA. It has worked perfectly ever since.
Trust but verify!

Upgraded 2 macs to Mavericks, can no longer access shared folders/files.

So I upgraded my Macbook Pro, and Mac Mini to Mavericks today, and previously when they were both on mountain lion I could access the shared folders/files and screen share with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
But upon updating to Mavericks today it all broke.
Both computers were running the OS X Server software on Mountain Lion, and I went ahead and purchased/installed the new edition of server that came out today.
I can see the other mac under the "Shared" option in Finder's sidebar, but when I try to open the other mac it says connection failed and offers to "connect as"
As I usually do, I connect as and it asks for the login credentials. I put in the same credentials as before, 150% sure they're right, in the text boxes that I used before, but it won't allow me to connect to the mac.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're the right credentials.
I thought it may have been just a wonky permissions error so I unshared the folders and reshared using the same permissions that had worked before.
I've been working on it for about 3 hours now so any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
Wow - this is a doozy. I don't have a fix but WARNING - watch out as you are working on this problem that your files are being vanished permanently.

Mountain Lion will no longer connect to my Homeserver shared folders

Yesterday I did a complete system wipe of my Mabook Pro and intalled a fresh copy of Mountain Lion, all has gone well apart from the fact that I can't connect to my Homeserver shared folders or stream from it using Plex, it can remote desktop into it though. All other devices can still connect to the server and the laptop can connect to all other just fine, any idea what might be causing this problem? Many thanks in advance.

I found if you connect to the shares themselves it's a slight work around but not ideal, so instead of doing this:
smb://servername
you do this
smb://severname/sharename
Then if you add them to your favourites by clicking the plus icon in the server connect dialogue box (⌘+k) its liveable with, hopefully this gets sorted in the next OS update.

Shared folders (Windows file shares) show access denied and do not prompt for credentials

Scenario:
Like other admins, I log on and work as a 'standard user' (usera) with no admin rights anywhere in the domain, to perform admin tasks I have another account (userb) which I authenticate with as and when required. userb has been allocated/delegated permissions
as required.
Problem:
When trying to connect to shared folders on servers (2008 R2) using a UNC patch via Windows Explorer (Win 7 Ent.), I see an access denied error and do not get an option to supply alternative credentials.
If I try to connect to the admin shares on the same server (\\server\C$ or \\server\e$) I get an access denied message AND get prompted for credentials. I supply my admin account and gain access as expected.
If I check share and storage management when attempting to connect, I see that Windows is trying to connect me to each share as usera (which has no access). I understand why I get access denied at this point, but not why it can't just prompt me to supply an
account that does have access. When trying the admin shares I also see the usera account, but I get a prompt to supply a user who does have access.
Share permissions on the folders are for example 'Everyone' Full Control. NTFS permissions are 'userb' has modify (read, execute, list, traverse etc) via a 'Server Admins' AD Universal security group.
Note: If I do a NET USE from CMD and use the /USER switch, I can access the shares fine. But this is not great for accessing shared folders on the fly from various computers.
How can I get the other shares on the server to prompt me, rather than just say access denied?
Many thanks.

Cannot open files created in shared folders by Windows 7

Hi.
I've been having issues with my shared folders.
My scenario is that I primarily work on my Windows 7 machine and save a copy on my MacBook so I can work on the same file when I'm out and about. I have no issue saving the files, or even browsing the shared folders on my MacBook. I can create, edit, save and delete files in the shared folder from my Windows machine without problem. The issue is that I'm unable to open any of the files created by Windows on my MacBook; it shows a prompt saying "You do not have permission to open document (filename)." I can't even see the thumbnails of image files created by Windows.
On the MacBook there is only one Standard user account which I use to login, and one Sharing Only account which I use to connect from the Windows machine with Read/Write permissions granted on my shared folders. The WINS workgroup has also been set to the same value as on the Windows machine.
I am able to move the files to Trash, but that's all I can do to them, which defeats the entire purpose of me having a portable computer. My shared folders were setup when I was still on Snow Leopard and had no issues before.
It's a hassle to have to bring a USB drive around to my meetings, and I'm completely clueless on what actions I must take to rectify this issue. Anyone out there ever have this issue? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks.

CR 8.5 is not supported on 64 bit OS's or ANY Terminal Servers.
The location for 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS is \windows\syswow64.
