Cannot access network shares on AD domain

I've joined my mac to an AD domain (over vpn tunnel). I used the Directory Access app and when I did a "bind" to the domain all seemed to go well.
However when I try to access a network share using the "Connect to Server" menu item:
smb://server/share
I get this error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in...could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
Ok I've tried googling this error message. Could someone tell me what this means? Could you point me to documentation on how to do what I'm doing?

Can you access the share while in the office?
Can you access the share by using the servers IP address instead of name?

Cannot access network shares

After upgrading my wife's Mac mini G4 to Tiger she cannot connect to network shared drives. When clicking on Connect on a network machine I get the message that the alias could not be opened because the original item cannot be found. I have the option to delete the alias or fix it. When trying to delete it I am told that I do not have the required permissions for the operation. When clicking on fix alias I get the Finder browser, I don't know where to browse to.
Any help will be appreciated.
BTW, I am a recent switcher so not very clued up with OS X yet.

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

Network Media Player (Noontec V9-T) unable to access network shares on WIN8 Pro

I have just upgraded from Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After the upgrade, I made sure my video library was shared (both with the homegroup and my username) and that network discovery was enabled file sharing enabled etc etc.
On the Noontec Media centre I can see the workgoup called WORKGROUP. When I click on it I can see the name of my PC. But when I click on the pc name to log in to access the shares within it comes up with a username/pass box comes up. I then put in my username/pass
on the windows 8 pro machine, to which the Noontec receives an error message stating cannot login.
Previously I had enabled sharing with everyone (read only) on windows 7 home and this username/pass dialog box never appeared. Just said successful logon. So i tried sharing video library with "everyone" in windows 8 pro, the unit still can't log on.
I believe this noontec uses Samba. The last updated samba file was named "samba_3.0.23c_mipsel.ipk" when I updated the media players samba about 9 months-a year ago. i have checked the manufacturers website, there has been no further updates released.
Is there a way for me to access network shares from this media centre by maybe installing a new samba server on the windows 8 machine that is compatible with older samba clients? I am not savy with samba clients/servers at all, I just loved the way XP network
shares always seemed to work across multiple platforms... and win7/8 doesn't. Help anyone?

A lot of these media players will not work correctly. If your Video files are stored as .avi, MKV, MP4 etc.. pretty much anything excpet for .ISO, the best way is to use Plex media server on the windows 8 PC. It's free and should allow you to organise files
and libraries as you want.In fact, it's my preferred access method now, as most, smart TVs also support plex and support it well....allowing me to play the files directly in my smart TV, without using the Media players.
In addition if you have an Android tablet or phone, you can (if you want) access your media files from Plex using Media Monkey (free) and simply play them direct to the TV, Media Monkey simply hands the data stream over to the smart TV.
I have a similar set of media players and exactly the same problem with windows 8,8.1, previous shares on versions 7, vist etc..work perfectly. I use a free application on my android phone to remote start my media server/s (via the network card).
Shutter Light - Free monitoring activity and network data, to prevent unwanted sleep during Videos and to ensure the PC goes into sleep mode (disabling windows power management)
Plex simplifies everything and acts as a great central server for all types of devices and can bring media files together from different Directories/Disks, in to one set of Libraries.

XP Mode Crashes When Accessing Network Shares

I am using Windows 7 Professional and have installed XP Mode to use a legacy accounting application.
In the Virtual Machines folder on the host under settings I have set the network adapter to Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
Under XP Mode, I have set XP to be a member of the workgroup and I am logging on with a user who can access network. When I run XP Mode I can access the internet with Internet Explorer.
If I then go to "My Network Places" "View Workgroup Computers" I can see all the workgroup computers on the network. If I then double click on a computer name Windows Explorer shows me all the shared directories on that computer.
This is where the problem occurs. If I then click on a shared directory XP Mode instantly exits and restarts. (Windows 7 is unaffected.)
Does anyone have any idea's as how I can access all the shared directories to view the files stored on the network.

Miya Yao, Thank you for your reply.
Can other computer in the workgroup see the shared directory in Windows XP Mode? I don't know exactly what you mean by this. No other computers in the workgroup are running XP Mode. They are running native XP Professional. (It was my original idea to run
a physical XP laptop together with Windows 7 desktop to access the data files required, before I read about XP Mode.)
All workgroup computers can access network shares, if the user has appropriate permissions. I have shared the "Shared Documents" under XP Mode and this share can be accessed by all other computers on the network including the host. However, if I access this
share from the guest via "View Workgruop Computers" as in my first post, XP Mode instantly quits and restarts. For information the XP Mode user name and password is the same as the host user name and password.
I have checked the Event Viewer both before I first posted and again today. There are no entries recorded. However, I should have mentioned that upon restarting XP Mode I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" the details of which are:-
BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : FFFFFF8A BCP2 : 00000001 BCP3 : F7F23661
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1
If I send the error report I am taken to thsi web page:-
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/603/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=316378af-10a1-428a-9016-074d398ed1a1
The page talks about testing RAM. RAM is fine. There is 8GB of physical RAM. It was tested with memtest86+ v2.10 and v4.20 separately. v4.20 was run for 12 hours plus with no errors detected. I have tried adjusting XP Mode RAM under settings but this makes
no difference.
The issue happens when accessing all shared directories including empty ones.
I clean booted the computer and yes the issue still exists.
If I use dos to view a directory under XP Mode the problem exists, by typing
\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDERNAME .
By using the host I can map a shared directory. Then under XP Mode I can access the share from my computer. I have noticed by mapping S: to a Network Share that in Windows Explorer in XP Mode the path is
\\tsclient\S\ . Is this normal?
Under Windows 7 the same share appears as S:\ as I would expect.
However, I would prefer not to have to map and un-map different Network Shares to drive letters.
It should have been mentioned in my first post, host is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't know the build but it is full retail version (not upgrade) from when first released - prior to SP1. All updates have been applied including SP1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Cannot access SMB shares from Windows boxes in AD domain

Hey folks
I've needed to tackel this for sometime, but Santa is bringing me a dual core G5 and the urgency just increased.
I have an Active Directory domain and all of my macs are successfully joined and get Kerberos tickets upon login. I can access any shares I need from OS X -> windows but NOT the other way around.
I did finally noticed that only local user accounts seem to appear in the accounts list in the sharing pref pane. So I have figured out that I can access any users folder with that one account- OUCH! What I need is access control based on the user.
For instance if I want to share ~jdoe and jdoe is a mobile account and an AD user then if I am logged into windows as [email protected] then I should be able to access the share on the mac. Conversly I should not be able to access ~jdoe with the mac's local admin account and pass.
Do I need to change my smb.conf to reflect AD and if so, where/what?
Also, do I need to map UIDs to anything? And, is that a security risk?
Thanks!

Hi SpaceBass, have you looked into sharepoints or into Netinfo manager. I have been playing around with sharepoints and it does let me enter non local users into the sharing prefs- albeit manually. Only thing is , depending on the number of macs you have, it could be a long and tedious job entering it all by hand. Netinfo may have an easier way, I'll do some more digging and post back.
Cheers.

Windows 7 pro client cannot access folders on server 2003 domain server

I added a windows 7 64 bit client to a server 2003 32 bit domain 3 weeks ago and file sharing was working fine until today, 5/4/12. Now, when trying to access shared folders that reside on the server,
I get the following "access denied" message:
[…folder…] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The user name could not be found.
Strangely enough...
The windows 7 client
can open shared folders that reside on the XP clients in the domain
All the XP clients in the domain can access the server 2003 folders
All the XP clients and the server 2003 machine can access shared folders and printers on the windows 7 client.
The windows 7 client can ping the server 2003 machine and vice versa
I can “see” the server in my network list, but when I click on it, I get the same “access denied” message listed above.
So... the only problem is that the windows 7 client cannot access folders that reside on the windows server 2003 machine. There must be some sharing setting that got changed
by a recent windows update.
Here is what I have done/verified so far on the windows 7 client:
In advanced sharing settings for Home/Work, Public and Domain profiles:
network discovery is enabled
file and print sharing is enabled
use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers is selected (I also tried allowing windows to manage homegroup connections instead, but the problem remained.)
40 -56 bit encryption is enabled
In “gpedit.msc” Local Policies/Security Settings:
enabled the following policies:
Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
disabled the following policies:
Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares
What am I missing? Are there policies on the server that need to be adjusted?
Please help! My business is crippled if I cannot access server files from this workstation. Thank you in advance.

Cannot access CIFS shares from Windows 2008R2 on NSS3000

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade our 2008 domain to 2008R2 but with that last version we cannot access to cifs shares on the NSS3000. Access from all other clients are OK. It was 100% OK under 2008...
Whether I use the IP or the FQDN, I got an error from Windows 2008R2. From IP, I got "No process is on the other end of pipe." and from network Gui, I got "Windows cannot access \\nas0026CB647BC6. Check the spelling of the name...blabla. Details : Error Code : 0x80070035, The network path was not found".
On the NAS, I got this errors in the cifs logs :
Feb 24 14:12:45 NAS0026cb647bc6 winbindd[28457]: rpc_api_pipe: Remote machine WIN2008-PDC.bluemoon.holywell.leics pipe \NETLOGON fnum 0x4002returned critical error. Error was NT_STATUS_PIPE_DISCONNECTED

It is likely to be an incompatibility between Windows 2008R2 smbv2 and the NSS3000 smbd but I can't find any firmware update and I can't find the process to allow in the registry.
I can ping it, I can connect on the web interface, I can connect on FTP but no CIFS at all.
Firmware version running is 1.20.1. Hardware rev : V03.
Any idea?

Can't access Network share from Windows 8 computer

I have a clean install of Windows 8 x64 running in a workgroup environment. I can access multiple computer/NAS shares except one share off a partifular NAS. This share is accessible from other computers and the other shares on the NAS are accessible from
this Windows 8 computer. I have cheked the credentials and they are fine, added them under the credential manager, tried to map a drive and selected use other credentials etc but it continually says "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName\ShareName"
you do not have permission. I have permission and nothing is wrong with the permissions or the server. This is driving me crazy if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried:
1. Mapping drive with ip address e.g. \\ip address\sharename
2. disabled ipv6, made sure netbios enabled, made sure client for ms networks enabled.
3. Setup a new account on server, doesn't work either.
4. All sharing options enabled. I even modified the permissions on the share for "everyone" full access and it still didn't work.
Has to be something with this windows 8 machine.

Dear all,
Hi am using 2012 r2 server and i have created share folder ,and added the user Id in that share folder but while accessing in windows pc (local admin) its opning all share folder , but its not asking password if i click in share folder it shows you do not have
permission to access . but till lastweek it was worked fine . and if i tried in administrator login its asking password authentication. Please help me ASAp.
Thanks

SQL server can't access network share

Hello,
I am facing an issue where the SQL server can't access the network share. The network share is mounted by a domain user who is also configured as Administrator on the server.
Through SQL Server management studio as well as PoweShell script when i try to access the share in order to attach the database contained within the share, i get the error "Unable to find the file specified". I can't mention the network drive to
the SQL management GUI file browser too if i try to attach the database through GUI.
For all SQL services, I changed the service log on account to be the same account which mounts the network share.
As work around -
I launched a command prompt under NT Authority \ SYSTEM (LocalSystem) account and mounted the drive to the same location which lead to adding one more connection but under local system account. With this change, the SQL server was able to access the network
share!
I couldn't understand whey SQL expects the network share to be mounted under local system account even if all the SQL services are running under domain account ? I want SQL to be able to access the network share without opting for above work around.

Hello,
I couldn't understand whey SQL expects the network share to be mounted under local system account even if all the SQL services are running under domain account ? I want SQL to be able to access the network share without opting for above work around.
It doesn't have to be. The workaround is only a temporary fix and is certainly not a good idea. I would not use mounted folders with SQL Server, at all, period.
The reason you're having difficulty is that when the folder is mounted, it's mounted for YOUR session not ALL sessions. SQL Server has already started its services and is running under its' own session and is not privy to the things you do to change the
environment. For example, if you changed a system or user variable (for example, a SET variable) SQL Server would have no idea about this because when it started, that variable either didn't exist or was something else. This is not SQL Server's fault but how
Windows works (this information is stored in the Process Environment Block [PEB]) for any windows process.
As other's have said, don't use mounted drives - use a UNC path. UNC paths are 100% supported on 2012+ as well as running databases on a SMB 3.x share (UNC pathed of course).
If you absolutely must use a mounted drive, enabled xp_cmdshell access (through sp_configure) and run the net use command through xp_cmdshell. I, once again, would highly advise not doing this and using an UNC path.

Active Directory: Odd behavior when accessing network shares

I'm not very clear on how OS X handles AD integration, but I'm having an odd problem, perhaps someone may know the answer.
AD is bound and working properly.
I am successfully logging in with an AD account that is set to 'mobile' mode.
Two questions:
1. Why is it that when I access a share that I have rights to access, I am prompted for my user name and password? I am already logged in with a domain account and validated by the domain controller. This is not a big problem, but I am curious.
2. Why is it that I am denied access to some shares, and others I can connect to but cannot see their contents, yet logged into a Windows machine with the same AD account, I can access all of them just fine? This one is a big problem.
I'm hoping there are just more things I need to configure to get it to work. Either way, I'm having fun learning all of this.
Thanks,
-Travis

IPAD/Network Shares/Active Directory Domain

Can an IPAD connect to Network Shares within an Server 2003 Active Directory Domain? If so how?

The iPad cannot natively connect to file shares. There are third-party apps that allow this, though. FileBrowser is one that is often recommended:
