Connecting to Windows Servers

Hi,
I am trying to connect to hidden shared drives on my works servers (MS Active Server) via 'Connect to server' and the cifs:// address. I've managed to locate the drives I need and open files but only as 'read only', the problem is I can't save back to the drive. I get an insufficient priviledges message when I try. I check the info and it says I have both read and write priviledges. Has anyone any more info or remedies for this problem?
Thanks

Microsoft best practice for server shares is the following:
1. Share the share with Everyone - Full Control.
2. Restrict permissions to the contents of the Share (folders and files) using NTFS permissions.
I would assume you may have set the Share permissions to something other than Everyone - Full Access. Have a look at the section called "A Tale of Two Permissions" on this website for details <http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Share-Permissions.html>.
Hope this helps! bill

  • Connections to Windows servers and opening files

    When connected to more than one Windows server at a time (SMB1 or 2), Excel and Word 2011 will not open files. Disconnect from one server and it works again...help please
    Running 10.9.5

    I fixed my own issue. It ended up being the two servers had a share on each that had the same name. Once I renamed one of the shares the issue stopped.

  • Does anyone have Lion and can connect to Windows servers?

    Is there anyone out there who can see the Windows server folders?  Or am I (and a handful of others) the only ones who are having this issue?  Is ANYBODY able to connect to their Windows server with Lion?  (they dropped SMB support in Lion...this is why I'm asking).

    What servers are you connecting to?  Here at work they use:
    windows server 2003
    standard edition
    32bit
    No luck with me.  I can connect to wifi internet, but can't access any of the shared folders anymore (I could with SL)

    Hi,
    I am looking to develop a vbscript to  connect to Remote Windows Server and solve the problems related to
    CPU Utilization being high and Disk is running out of space.
    I am planning to call that vbscript from a c# application.

    Could you please let me know the things to consider while solving the  Disk is running out of space and cpu utlization problem.
    There are way too many possibilities to list, especially without knowing the specifics of your systems.
    Here's a link to the Scripting Guy's forum, but I highly suggest thinking through your question more thoroughly before posting there. As well, you'll need to post your current script.

  • Connectivity Issue - Server Network - Windows Servers

    Hello
    I'm  having connectivity issues, from my network, with the Servers Network  that's located behind the Ace 4710... I'm monitoring the servers and i  get Timeouts with a simple ICMP monitor... This problem is only with Windows Servers...
    I  never have problems regarding the access to the Admin context, but in  the context that i use to load balance the applications i have problems
    reaching directly the servers...
    For  example... I have two servers and i lose connectivity with one of them  for about 2-5 minutes and then i regain connectivity... If i undo the ft  group and redo the ft group i regain instant access to the server... As i said this problems only appear with Windows Servers...
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for the reply Gilles...
    What do you mean with a show tech...

  • Solaris nis client can't connect to Windows 2008 NIS Server across subnets

    I have been using Microsoft Windows Server for NIS for years to centralize some accounts accessing Solaris and Linux OS.
    Windows 2003 R2 Indentity Management for UNIX version of Server for NIS was last working version with Solairs.
    After upgrading Domain to Windows 2008 all Solaris clients that are on different subnets fail to bind and connect to NIS servers now.
    These servers already were setup using ypinit -c to manually add the NIS servers to connect to and prior to Windows 2008 this worked.
    Now no Solaris nis clients on different subnets (no firewall between) can connect , but other Unix/Linux OS connect fine.
    Is this a known issue and can we get a resolution as it seems only Solaris is affected?

    Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
    Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
    Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
    Print server role: Configuring a print server
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
    "I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
    From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
    If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
    Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
    If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
    We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
    Best regards

  • Mountain lion 10.8.2 can not connect to windows NAS server Dell Sentinel

    I recently upgraded to 10.8 OS My office is connected to a NAS server Dell Sentinel WD4000. Everything was working fine until the upgrade from 10.7 to 10.8 Now when I "connect to server" Not one of my accounts can connect. All I get is wrong password. The server connects to every computer on the network except the 10.8 The server shows up as an icon on Shared Devices.
    Someone please help me. Apple has been useless.

    I hope this helps.  But, Apple has confirmed a significant bug in 10.7.4 that breaks SMB.  Their support says they are working on it, but they do not know when the fix will be released.  It has broken SMB at all sites I support including my own location where Lion server has the updated version as well.  Only AFP works but not consistently.  The suggestion is to restore 10.7.3 from a backup or wait until the fix is released.  SMB does work - but only when admin authentication is used on Mac servers - don't know about Windows Servers.  I do know the client side of Mac's also are affected with SMB issues.  Good luck!

  • Connecting two distant servers via a common WAN Internet connection.

    Hi all,
    I have two servers located in two different countries. For example Server A (Windows 2003 with Active directory) is located in Singapore. Another Server B (also Windows 2003 Server with Active Directory) is located in Kuala Lumpur. Both computers are connected to Internet via local ISP (WAN connection with dynamic IP) to respective countries.  There is few local users at each places which are connected to local servers at both places with LAN.
    I would like to connect these two servers togather via WAN (Internet- may be tunnelling, VPN, I don't know much what are other technologies) My objective is to connect both Server A and Server B so that I can keep track of active directory information, user management and authentication. Please let me know how can I achieve that? What are needed and what configuration and addition device, server needed. Please give me simple, detailed cost effective methods.
    Thanks.

    First you want to get static IP's and then you can setup an IPSEC tunnel or site to site VPN.  Then you will want to creat a trust between the 2 domains if they are in different forests.  Then you can add your user account to a universal group (forest functional level must be at Server 2003 level) for enterprise management.

  • Adobe Connection Manager unable to connect to Adobe Servers

    Hello,
    I have found many threads for that topic, but non helped me solve my issue.
    I haven't been using my application in quite a few months. A few weeks ago I started again and always get the message that my membership could not be verified because it cannot connect to the Adobe Servers. I started the Application Manager and get the same message there.
    I tried everything in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html and all steps are successful
    I tried to connect my laptop directly with the LAN cable to the modem, still no success
    I don't use any Proxies.
    I disabled my firewall and Antivirus, Spyware, etc. applications, still it says it cannot connect.
    I tried to download the Desktop Application, but also get the message it cannot connect to the servers.
    I really do not know what to check anymore. I have no problems with secure sites or anything else I am using.
    Any suggestions what else could be the problem?
    Side note: It says to set the clock correctly. What time yone does it check against? My Windows is German, he CC is German, I am in Germany and use the correct timezone. I often use the US formatting of numbers and date formats, because I need it hat way for work. I tried it with both US and German settings, though. Makes no difference.
    Thank you!

    If you are a home user then enable the Hidden admin, restart and try to update/activate. Check here for instructions on enable/disable Hidden admin : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/
    If connected to corporate network then contact your IT department to see if Firewall or Proxy server is blocking the activation.
    Thanks!

  • Viewing Windows servers in finder

    In Tiger, I was able to click on "Network" in finder and view all the Windows servers and computers on the domain my network connection was running through.
    Now in Leopard, I can see all the Macs that are connected on the network but I can't see any Windows servers or computers. I have to use the "connect to server" option to connect to any Windows servers instead of just double clicking on them. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

  • Connecting to remote servers

    I need to connect via RDP to some windows servers that we have. Currently with my laptop, I connect with Putty then open an RDP session.
    Since the ipad seems to only want to run one app at a time, How do I get an SSH RDP session established with my win 2003 servers from my ipad?

    auhhh yes i know that, however, I haven't seen any so far that have SSH built into them. So hence I asked the question if anyone knows of one or how to do it with a work around.

  • PhotoStream uploading my photos to Windows servers!

    Hi,
    I have found one thing which really upset me.
    Some process uploads big amount of data so my network connection start behaving slower, but I discover, that it is PhotoStream uploading my photos to Windows (Azure Storage) server!!
    Here you can see established connection:
    cyberdelia:~ mcmelik$ lsof -i | grep window
    PhotoStre  2567 mcmelik   49u  IPv4 0x74d7a0a63ac45bf      0t0  TCP 10.0.0.5:59604->blob.db3prdstr07a.store.core.windows.net:https (ESTABLISHED)
    Can please someone tell me what the **** is going on there? I have no M$ application on my Mac. Even if I turn off photostream upload in iPhoto, it is still sending data.
    Im not aware of sharing photo stream with someone on PC, but if so, why are my photos uploaded directly to some Windows servers?
    Thank you for explanation

  • Mac G5 10.4 connecting to Windows Server 2003 finder windows NOT refreshing

    We are not seeing finder contents refresh when connecting to Windows 2003 servers. We are running 10.4.5. This was supposedly "fixed" in 10.4 but we haven't seen it work yet. Who do we contact for support on this? I've tried using "Contextual Menu" which didn't work, and also tried "Finder Sync" which also didn't work. The only thing that did work was Path Finder. Path Finder did provide an auto-refresh but I don't like Path Finder and we won't buy it.
    Who do we contact at Apple about this? Or does anyone have any experience like this?
    Thanks very much!

    I have the same problem and I did public it in another forum.
    Someone told me to write an Applescript like this:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell front window
    update every item with necessity
    end tell
    end tell
    Copy it, open Script Editor and save it as an executable application in your Utilities folder. Now put shortcuts to it in your Dock or your Sidebar or whereever. When you run it, the front most windows in the Finder will be refreshed to its most current state from disk.
    I tried it but it doesn't help so much. I have no problem at all when I work with Windows Server 2000.

  • I can't connect to Windows Server via FTP

    Is there a special method to connect to Windows server via FTP?
