Cannot browse to Server 2012 shares from Windows 8.x

I can't conntect or browse to any shares on a 2012 server from a Windows 8.1 client. I can connect from Windows 7 to server 2012. And from Windows 8.1 I can connect to 2008 servers. Is this a new security feature/setting on Windows 8.1 or on Server 2012?

Hi Spetroski,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with your question. Please let me confirm something more.
Is it in a domain environment? Did you mean you type the share path in
Run, and then access share? If so, please check if use server’s IP address to access, will the same result?
If I misunderstood the connection way, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please confirm which following scenario is similar with current state of this issue.
When use Windows 8.1, you can connect to server 2012. However, can’t browse and access all shares that host in server 2012.
Can’t even connect to server 2012, when use Windows 8.1.
If none, please feel free to let me know some details.
Meanwhile, please let me know if you can find some error message when this issue occurred. If can find, please
post the complete error messages here.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Manage Server 2012 Backups from Windows 8.1

Hello,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation via GUI or is the CLI the only option?
I found a few articles online that mention to use a computer management console > storage > backup (but from what I know it only works if you're connecting from a 2012 server itself)
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
We cannot manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation. Ye may need to use Remote Desktop Connection to access server 2012 from windows 8.1 workstation. In additional, we could manage server 2012 essential backups using dashboard on Windows
8.1 workstation.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Cannot uninstall VMware Server 1.0. from Windows 7

[pictures attached]
I tried to install VMware Server 1.0.10, but got this message:
Windows requires a digitally signed driver
A recently installed program tried to install an unsigned driver.
This version of Windows requires all drivers to have a valid digital signature.
The driver is unavailable and the program that uses this driver might not work correctly.
Uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the
publisher's support website to get a digitally signed driver.
Driver: VMware bridge driver (64-bit)
Service: VMware Bridge Protocol
PROBLEM: cannot uninstall VMware Server
QUESTION: how can I manually uninstall VMware Server from my Windows 7?
Thanks in advance.

If you're being flooded with this (literally every second) in /var/log/messages I would recommend applying patch 5679560 (if you have access to metalink):
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8725]: session closed for user oracle
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8768]: session opened for user oracle by (uid=0)
This will reduce the load significantly.

Can't mount 10.6.8 Server SMB share from Windows

Actually, I can mount it...I just can't read or write it.
So I'm running Snow Leopard Server on this Intel-based Mac Mini. I have a group of users who want to be able to have a common area to store files. "Easy", I think. "Just create a folder, give it the appropriate permissions for the group, and make it a share point in the SMB configuration."
So I do all this-- through the Server Admin UI, BTW.
I create the folder. I give the specified group read and write access; everybody else gets nothing.
I make the folder a share point and ensure that SMB sharing it turned on.
Then I try to mount it from my Windows machines. I create a new network place, but I'm never asked for a user name and password. So the network place is created fine, but any attempt to open it or drag something to it fails because I'm not logged into the server.
So the question is:
Why isn't my server asking users to authenticate?
And:
How can I make it start doing this?

Hehe... Servers are tricky things for sure.
It sounds like you're expecting to have users log in from outside your network, but that you're testing from within? Is this the case?
If your users are trying to log in from outside the local network of the server, then you'll need to ensure that the correct port forwarding is set up on your firewall.
Next thing I'd try... Simplify your share to ensure that the problem isn't with your group set up. Eliminate all the ACL's associated with it.
Add one sole user to the ACL, give it read and write, and try to log in using that credential.
Ensure that the POSIX Permissions are set to default. (administrator should be the owner, staff should be group, read and writable only by the owner, everyone else gets read only)
If that works, remove that user, add a group to the ACL and try and log in using a user that's listed in the new group specified.
Perhaps if you supplied a little more info about your server and how it's connected to it's network. What it's roles are etc. we might be able to give a little more insight.

Cannot connect SQL Server 2012 express

I even turn off the Windows Firewall on SQL Server 2012 machine, it still fails.

How to access ZFS share from Windows 7?

I am new to UNIX and am having a hard time to get a ZFS share to access from windows 7 on my home network.
I was able to access both WHS 2011 and QNAP 459 share on SE 11 by using the file manager - Server - windows & then just using the IP address, username, password. That was easy or at least similar to what I was used with windows 7.
However, I have yet to be able to access a ZFS pool containing a share that I can access from another windows 7 machine at home.
Apparently, I can mount the share from windows but the login name/password do not get accepted when I add a network connection in windows. Windows does seem to find the path \\solaris\tank_share1 and even mounts it, but the login for SE 11 does not work for some reason.
I changes the workgroup name to WORKGROUP in windows but that did not change anything. I tried to edit the pam.conf file by changing the ownership from root to myself so I could use gedit since it has been 15 years since I last used vi. However, that corrupted the setup as I got "system error" message on reboot that never got out of that infinite loop.
I am basically using the instruction through the following link:
http://blogs.oracle.com/observatory/entry/accessing_opensolaris_shares_from_windows
Any help to get this problem resolved is much appreciated
Thanks,
Kurt

The documented procedure of having to edit the pam_conf file seems to work followed by resetting one's password seems to work after all. I believe, by taking away ownership from root to "admin user" screwed things up. I had to relearn how to use vi but that didn't take very long.
Got about 50 MB/s speed coping from Windows SSD to SE11 SSD via very small (5 GB) RAIDZ array in VMWare (running on top of WIN 7-64). I have to try native SE11 SSD next as the VMWare setup is just for practice.
Q: Is there a way to launch gedit from the terminal window in root mode so I wouldn't have to use vi?

SQL Server 2012 Express on Window 8.1 64 bit version?

Hi,
I´m trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 8.1 64 bit version. When I reach the point of "Installing Setup Files", of the installation process, the installation seems to halt. I´ve tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of SQL 2012
Express. I´ve installed SQL 2012 Express several times before on other Windows versions but I´ve never encountered this problem. Is it a known SQL Server 2012 Express/Windows 8.1 64 bit compability problem?
Thanks in advance!

Random error accessing CIFS shares from Windows

I am setting up some CIFS shares to be used from Windows clients and in the process I had some random problems accessing the shares.
In hope of finding the answer I checked the CIFS Service and the Active Directory Service, and while watching the screen for Active Directory Service I saw that the "Selected Domain Controller" changed from one to another. I now stayed within this screen and noticed that the "Selected Domain Controller" continued to change and then I found the problem, because an unknown Domain Controller appeared. The IP was 216.150.17.8
I found that when ever this Domain Controller was the selected one, all access to CIFS shares from Windows clients failed! This is correct, because the 216.150.17.8 of course is unaware of all users in Our Domain
So the Questions are:
- what is happening?
- and how to solve this?
- why is a Domain Controller 216.150.17.8 sometimes the Selected Controller?
- where does this 216.150.17.8 come from?
Have You seen anything like this?

I now have found out why the DC changes - it is because the CIFS service is restarting ;-(
This is a log snip

It seems to happen when I access the share and thereby force a uservalidation
Any ideas?

Server 2012 vs. Windows 7 / 8. What should a newbie choose?

Hi there!
Am here with a newbie question. Ive been running a Windows Home Server 2003 for several years, and learned alot had great use of it. But the hardware got old, and I wanted to buy a new server.
So, right now I am running my new server with Windows Server 2012 trail, and I've had quite alot of difficulties. So after getting stuck with a Certificate Autority-something, am starting to really wonder if I'd rather should use Windows 7 or 8 to run my
server. Then I dont have to understand all the extra stuff comming with the server edition, but the reason I have this is also to learn how to setup a server.
What should I do? Everyone I know who's interested in server-management is using Linux, and am allways getting stuck with hours of googling, doing stuff that learn a bunch of, but takes me way too much time.
I really wanna learn, but am getting a little fed up with getting stuck all the time.
Just to mention it, am using my server mainly for http, php, mysql and ftp service, running file-sharing over my network, and stuff like that, but really enjoy the more advanced features I had on the server 2003 that I could experiment with.
What do you think?

hello again,
meanwhile I was lucky to find this article about Idenity Mapping in TechNet in the Storage Team Blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/10/09/nfs-identity-mapping-in-windows-server-2012.aspx
Likely to be overseen at the end of one paragraph it says:
"Client for NFS does not support NFS V4.1 in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012"
Question : Is this an official statement and is it still valid with most recent
Windows Server 2012 R2 that NFS client does NOT support NFSv4.x ??

Canon MF4320d, share from Windows XP Prof

Is it possible to get work a printer share from Windows XP professional with Canon i-SENSYS MD4320d (USB-printer)?
I've installed the printer to my Windows computer. All of my computers are connected to a AirPort which share's my internet. Of course windows laptop finds the printer very easy, but Mac OS X does not..
Sharing a windows USB-printer is a bit tricky with Mac OS, is there a way to get share work with this printer?

Hi there,
Looking at the Canon UK web site, it shows this model uses the Canon UFR2 driver on OS X. This driver does not work at all on OS X when it is connected to a Windows share.
You mentioned that you had Airport. You may find the MF works better when connected to the USB port of the AE. Although I have experienced problems previously with a mates MF4150 that was connected via an Airport Extreme. It used an earlier version of the UFR2 driver and it never recognised the MF when connected to the AE's USB port.
If you can connect the printer to your Mac and then share it to the PC, then this may be a better solution for you.

Windows storage server 2012 share not connecting by share name but connecting thru IP address from windows XP machines

We have a windows storage server 2012 (HP storage server) in our domain. All of sudden We had a issue, connecting the server shares using the share name only from XP machines, but it is connecting through IP address with a delayed response. We are getting
the below error message from all the windows XP SP2 machines in our domain.
"\\<share name> 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 a access permissions.
Login Failure: The target account name is incorrect."
But it is connecting while we are trying from windows 7 machines. Also the other server shares (Windows 2003 server) are connecting without any issues using the share name. In addition to this we gave everyone permission for this share. And it worked
well before but not now. Could you please suggest any solution for this complex issue?
Thanks,

IOMeter hangs when running to a NFS share from Windows Storage Server 2012

Hello,
I am trying to measure performance of NFS share coming from Windows Storage Server 2012 using IOMeter also running on windows Server 2012. I can create the share on WSS2012. Windows 2012 client does see the share. IOmeter does see the share, and I can start
running. But fairly quick IOMeter gets an error, and stops. After that NFS share on the client is not visible to IOMeter anymore. This happen every time.
I have used IOMeter to SMB shares a lot with no problem..
Thanks in advance,
BJ

1) Can you use NFS share with NFS clients normally? I mean is it I/O Meter who has issues with streaming or do other apps have similar problems? Say normal copy to / from NFS share?
2) What error exactly is popped up? Do you happen to have a screenshot?
