Can't connect my Mac to my Windows 2003 server shares via SMB

Hello all
So my problem is I have my Powerbook running 10.4.7 with all the latest security updates and I cannot connect it to any shares on my Windows 2003 domain controller. Everything was working fine and I could connect to the server with no problem till about a month ago. However, I can still connect to the Windows 2000 domain controller with no problem. The error I get when trying to connect is "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". I did try clearing out my keychain, making sure all of the authentication policies on the server are correct (disabling the digitally sign commucations always policy), and I even went as far as editing a .conf file in /etc/ folder that allows for passwords to be sent without any encryption (I forget exactly what I changed but I can post that later when I get home from work) and none of this has worked. I unfortunately don't have another mac to test out connecting to the Windows 2003 server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to try and get this issue resolved?

TO share out as afp you need to have file and print services for macintosh installed on the 2k3 Server.
O n the main management console click on the shares icon on the left. then click the "link" create a share. The wizard will guide you through the process. i forget the order of progression but i beleive its the second or third part in the dialog it will have 2 check boxes, the top one checked by default, is to share it for windows/smb the second (lower box) is to share as AFP for mac check this box and change the share name if you like. then proceed through the rest of the wizard. Make sure you configure the security/sharing prefs for access.. we typically remove the everyone policy and add one for Authenitcated Users, and ofcourse Administrators.

  • 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

  • Can oracle discoverer 10 be installed on Windows 2003 server

    Hi,
    I have couple of queries related to Oracle Discoverer. Need help urgently.
    1. Can Oracle Discoverer 4.1 version support Windows 2003 on which Citrix server version 4 or above is installed? If yes, please let me know the patch details to download the same.
    2. Can Oracle 10g BI Tool, Oracle Discoverer Administrator and Desktop be installed on Windows 2003 Server Operating System on which Citrix server version 4 or above be installed?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Rajesh Gurram

    Hi,
    1. Discoverer 4.1 has been desupported but was only certified for Windows 200 and XP
    2. Discoverer Desktop and Admin is support on Windows 2003:
    2003 SP1+ 10g (10.1.2.0.2 )
    One thing I have to mentioned is that Oracle does not support any Citrix client operations.
    If ever you encounter a problem you will need to reproduce the problem
    outside of the Citrix environment to prove that it is not the cause of the problem.

  • Having a hard time integrating my Mac in a Windows 2003 server environment

    I can see the network drives and I can connect to them (by supplying my user name/password from active directory). Over a period of time (usually hours), the drive contents eventually disappear from finder. For example, I can see our network "J: Drive," and even the folders within the drive, however when you click the sub folders, nothing is there. It shows zero files in every folder.
    I am not using Admit Mac or binding it to the active directory with directory utility (or anything like that). I simply select the server computer in finder and mount the individual drives I want.

    Try to connect by doing the following steps:
    1-in finder > go > connect to server
    2-write SMB://ur-server-IP/
    3-press enter
    4-select the volume
    5-type ur username and password.
    Also I have this problem with G4 (10.4.11) but it happens cuz the Data and time reset to 1970, solve it by change Data and time.

  • Can you connect a Mac to a windows network

    I was wanting to know if it is possible for a Mac to access our servers securely. The Mac was connected before but that was because it was an unsecure server but that has been fixed and since then the Mac no longer connects
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi Zachary,
    I believe what you are looking for is to force a mobile account creation at logon. This at least allows me to log into my Mac with my AD credentials whether I'm connected to the network or not.
    To do this, go to System Preferences and then Users and Groups. Then select Login Options and authenticate to make changes. Click "Edit" next to Network Account Server then click Open Directory Utility. Authenticate in the Directory Utility and click "Active Directory" and then click the edit pencil icon thing. Expand the Advanced Options section and click "Create mobile account at login". Log out and then log back in as the user while connected to AD, and this should cache the password for usage offline.

  • Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

    Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution.  I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server.  Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established.  I went to the link:
    Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
    (the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
    followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Using Time Machine to back up to a Windows 2003 Server

    I am trying to set up my Time Machine to back up to a windows 2003 server share. I have found some hacks on how to do so, however i am not successful.
    What I have done so far:
    TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 in terminal, which got TM to see my shared drives, however, when i try to backup to my specific drive it gives me an error of not being able to write disk image. So i did:
    hdiutil create -size 100g -fs HFS+J -volname “TimeMachine Hcomp” Hcomp_000045128a91.sparsebundle
    using the appropriate mac address, volume name, and OSX computer name. However, when i run that in terminal, it comes back with a message saying it can only create one volume at a time.
    I'm not quite sure where to go from here, I feel so close, but im stuck.
    Also, on another side note, If I get this working, I would like to find a way where when TM is backing up data, it does not pop up the work bar window, I would prefer if it just worked in the background, and show it's status in the menu. I dont know if this is possible, But any suggestions would be of help
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the response,
    I understand the requirements for TM to work, and In the steps i've been trying, you'll see that the command 'hdiutil create -size 100g -fs HFS+J -volname “TimeMachine Hcomp” Hcomp_000045128a91.sparsebundle ' creates and HFS drive partition on my server share.
    I guess i'm not looking for an answer as to why when i enter this command, I get a response of only one volume can be created at a time. Am I missing something in this command?
    Thanks!
    Since you are using a hack, and therefore in an unsupported area, I suppose anything possible.
    You might browse around the TimeCapsule forum which more closely represents what you are doing than this forum
    The TC forum is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253
    It's possible that it may be a limitation of the system, hack or no hack.

  • Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

    Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
    For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
    I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
    Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
    Please reply...it will of great help..

    The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
    Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

  • Mac can't search on a Windows 2003 server

    We are using a Mac G5 running OSX (10.3.9) and are not able to search for files on our Windows 2003 server. We also can't index the server from this Mac.
    The Macs and the Window server are fully up to date.
    We are using AFP for the network connection. (We need to use AFP to maintain the Apple File Links.)
    Our Windows PC can search files on the server with no problems.
    Please help! Any advice is appreciated!!

    Same here. I'm seeing the same error.
    When I look at my Windows share, I see that Pages is trying to create a folder with several subfolders: Data and Metadata, plus index.zip, preview-micro.jpg, preview-web.jpg, and preview.jpg files.
    I don't think this is a Mavericks issue, although I upgraded to Mavericks and Pages 5.0 at the same time. I still have the older version of Pages. It works just fine.

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to MacBook Pro running Windows XP

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and an intel MacBook pro that is 6 months old and dual boot. The AEBS is set up with WPA2 and AEs. All works well for both MacOS (Leopard) and WindowsXP in wired mode and wireless works fine for the Mac side. When i run Windows, i can see the wireless network but i can't seem to configure it to actually connect to the network. I set it to WPA-PSK/AES, but it never can connect, and when i go back to check the settings in zeroconfig (the Windows connection manager) the connection is always reset to "WEP". Any suggestions? BTWQ, we can't connect my son's laptop (Windows XP ) either.

    Try changing the encryption, also make sure the computer is fully updated. Windows Xp computers do not all have native WPA2 capability. Try disabling security and see if that works. If it does not, it may be an interfernce problem on one computer. Try changing the wireless channel to 3 or 9

    How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).
