Connecting windows xp pro clients to OS X Server 10.5

Hello, I hope I'm posting to the right place. I'm a newbie to Apple and I have a new Xserve that I need XP pro client machines to connect to. Nothing fancy, just need to be able to store files on the Xserve and print to printer(s) from my windows xp pro clients. I'm looking for a step-by-step procedure for this. The server is simple, there is currently no raid setup - just one hard drive that I would like to store files on from the windows clients. Not looking for this to be an application server or an internet server, just a central location to store files and possibly share printers. I don't really even need the Xserve to authenticate xp client logins or users. I just want to be able to connect to it and read/write files to it.
Thank you so much for any help you can give me!!

I was able to follow the instructions till I got to step 3. Under the Settings tab there is no Services tab at all so I can't find the SMB checkbox.
However, on the left list there is a Windows listing and when I look at it and look under one of the tabs (forgot which one) there is an SMB checkbox for Windows sharing and it is checked along with a few other check boxes and the Guest setting is also checked.
Is that enough or is there something else I'm missing?
BTW, I was wrong on the OS X Server version on the Xserve. It's version 10.4.1.1.
Thanks a bunch

  • Windows 7 Pro Client loses connectivity to internal Win2k8 web server

    1. affected workstation are Optiplex 380 running Win 7 pro sp1 with broadcom NICs.
    2. Internal users use a internal webserver for customer invoicing application. Users lose connectivity to this internal web server, all other networking works, network shares, internet, etc. If I try to ping the webserver IP I get no reply. XP
    machines are not affected. Not a DHCP issue as there are plenty of IPs.
    3. I have tried different internal NICs (3com) but still had issue. I have upgraded BIOS, nic drivers. etc.
    4. I rebuilt one of the machines using Windows XP pro sp3 and have had no issue with that workstation.
    the problem started a few months or so ago. I have not been able to determine the source. I tried running wireshark but nothing stuck out. I have changed the session settings on the IIS server from 15 minutes to 6 hours but did not make a difference.
    5. Today when client lost connectivity to the server I tried pinging from the server back to the client and the connection was restored. This issue really has me confused as I cannot find anything in the logs that sticks out.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your question.
    I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro from Windows 8 Pro causing issues with Remote Server Administration Tools

    Last night I received the Windows 8.1 update and it has caused Remote Server Administration Tools to stop working. I tried to reinstall the tools using Windows8.1-KB2693643-x64.msu but get the following error:

    SeniorInternet,
    I’ve seen this issue in the past and it occurred because the file was corrupted.

  • Windows 8.1 client cannot delete shared server files.

    We have one office that has a Windows 8.1 client on the network that cannot delete files in a shared folder on their server.
      The folder is a catch all folder for the copier to scan to and contains all the PDF files it creates.  When the one user tries to delete any of the PDF files they get an error saying the file is in use.  We have tested by deleting files from
    the server and also from other workstations.
      We have rebooted the computer and also tried to resolve it by specifically giving the user full rights to the folder, but the problem remains persistent.

    Hi,
    There are several possible reasons for your situation, you might don’t have a permission of this folder, the folder is in use, a corrupted file is in current folder.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/cant-delete-file-folder#1TC=windows-7  (Also applies for Windows 8.1)
    First, I suggest to log on the computer with an administrator account to delete the folder and disconnect the network connection if possible, second, Run your computer in safe mode to delete the folder or files, to run computer in safe mode:
    Restart your computer, meanwhile press F8 until you see the safe mode screen.
    Hit enter at safe mode, log on the system as an administrator.
    Find the folder or file you want delete.

  • Can I connect Windows 7 to a mac network account server

    Hi All,
    I have a Mac Mini Server allong with a pile of Macs and a few PCs. What I want is being able to login to an ACCOUNT from ANY of my macs OR PCs. So when the computer turns on it asks you to put in a username and password. I know this is possible if all computers are running the same opperating system but i am not sure how to do it with different opperating systems.
    Thanks,

    I was struggling with this for a few days as well!  Finally got it working though ! YAY !
    Here are the steps:
    1. Add this to your registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PolicyAgent]
    "AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002
    2. Open secpol.msc (click start > search for secpol.msc)
    - Local Policies > Security Options
    - Network Security : LAN Manager Auth Level…
    - Set to: Send LM & NTLMv2 - UseNTLMv2…
    And
    - Network Security : Minimum session security… clients
    - uncheck "Require 128-bit encryption"
    3. Restart PC
    4. Create VPN Connection on Windows 7
    - Host Name: (server IP or yourhost.name.com)
    - PPP Settings : Enable LCP (only)
    - Type: L2TP/IPSec
    - Pre-shared key : yoursharedsecret
    - Data encryption : Optional encryption
    - Allow CHAO and CHAPv2
    5. Router on server-side must allow VPN Passthrough and forward ports: 50, 51, 500, 548, 1701, 1723, 4500 to the server box. Also, do not filter anonymous internet requests, multicast or NAT Redirection but enable SPI Firewall.
    ...now you should be good to go

  • How to connect back a disconnected client on an rmi server

    I am making a client -server rmi game .
    if a client get disconnected (throwing a remote exception on the server) how can I
    have some other client or same client continue from the the same point as it got disconnected.
    it obvioulsy requires state preservation but how?

    well actually I am making a game.
    if a player logs out during the game , when the server
    tries to pass it information it gets a remoteexception at the server.
    What I need is that any other player could replace this loggged out player and should get the latest state of the game ie latest score (while other players coud play as much as they can without him) , latest turn etc.
    The game is coded in an object which contains the lates turn and score etc, but how do I give it out to a new player joining in the middle of the game?
    Also if the server keeps thrwoing remoteexceptions ,
    it might hang or might haveto be shut down to be restarted.

  • SBS 2008 - Windows 8.1+ clients trouble accessing file server shares

    I have now upgraded 1 Windows 8 machine to Windows 8.1, and also clean installed another with Win 8.1 update 1 today, and both machines have trouble accessing the SBS2008 file server shares by UNC. If I browse by IP address of the server it seems to work
    flawlessly. The odd thing is that it's sporadic. So if I browse in explorer to "\\*netbiosname*\share" the Win8.1 machine will sometimes be able to access the share, and other times it will fail with a "network unable to reach location etc.."
    error. When it does work, it can take up to 5-10 minutes while explorer is frozen before the share is accessed. We're running quite a few Windows 8 machines without a problem, but it seems to be a specific problem with 8.1. Any idea?

    This doesn't seem to fix this specific problem. I had a few days of "luck", but now it's back. I just upgraded another co-workers machine to Win8.1 and he advised me that he's been having the same problem even with the above fix applied. His issue
    is when opening an office document that's located on the file server using location "\\servername\filename.xlsx", it takes a very long time (minutes) to open the excel file. This was happening to me as well, and if I tried to browse the network during
    this period, Windows Explorer would sometimes give me path not found, and unspecified error. I will try and capture a screen of the error when it occurs. Any ideas??
    edit: I have also noticed an unresponsive Windows Explorer for a few seconds to a minute over the last few days, which is a pretty good indicator that it's still happening on my machine.
    The odd thing is, if I use the IP address of the file server, everything is fine. I changed all of my links to use the IP since October when Win8.1 was released to combat this problem, and only changed them back to the server name for testing since I want
    to start deploying Win8.1 to others in the office. Unless I can fix this bug, they'll have to be stuck on Win8.
    Thanks,
    kk

  • Receive a "Server is Not Available" error when trying to connect win 7 pro PC to Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 Domain via Connector

    I am trying to connect Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 Computers to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 domain and I receive the following error: "The server is not available.  Try connecting to this computer again, or for more information, see Troubleshoot
    connecting computers to the server."  I have tried all of the steps in the Microsoft technet article "http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj635102.aspx" and still am receiving this error.  A little background on this specific case...
    All of these computers were already attached to a different Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 domain.  They have all been taken off the existing domain and added to a workgroup.  I have uninstalled the Server Essentials 2012 Connector and deleted
    all log files.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  This is an urgent issue...  Thanks in advance all!

    Would you be willing to run this script on your server?

  • SCCM 2012 R2 and client content sharing on Windows 7 Pro

    Is it possible to use "Allow clients to share content with other clients on the same subnet" option on Windows 7 Pro clients? It's bit confusing  because based on documentation, branch cache is only available on Windows 7 Enterprise and
    Ultimate editions. Why does Windows 7 Pro have branch cache service when it's not usable?

    Hi,
    Is Branch Cache working with Windows 7 Professional?
    No, it will not work with Windows 7 professional . Only Windows® 7 Enterprise and Windows® 7 Ultimate will support it.
    We can confirm that form the official link below:
    Client computer. A computer at a branch office that is running either Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows 7 Ultimate and that has BranchCache enabled.

  • Calling WebForms 10g on Windows XP Pro (SP2)

    Hello,
    When I try to invoke WebForms through the Web on Windows XP Pro (SP2) workstation, I get the following message:
    Oracle Application Server 10g Forms Services
    The Forms Listener Servlet is up and running.
    1) What does this mean ?
    2) Do I need to install JInitiator on my Windows XP Pro Clients ?
    PT

    Hello,
    I am trying to call-up my Forms through the URL in the address field in my Internet Explorer Browser. A typical call looks like this:
    http://Linux2005:7784/forms90/lservlet?config=KatzWebForms
    On one of my Windows XP Pro (SP2) clients, I have Oracle Forms/Reports 6i installed as well as Oracle 9i Client software. under the Program Files, I have an Oracle folder that contains the following sub-folders:
    Jinitiator 1.3.1.9
    Jinitiator 1.3.1.13
    Other Windows XP Pro (SP2) client computers only have Oracle 6i software installed and have no Jinitiator versions whatsoever.
    1) Are you suggesting that I should install/upgrade to Jinitiator 1.4.x all my Windows XP Pro (SP2) client computer ?
    Paolo
    PS: The funny thing is that I can call-up my FOrms on one Windows 98SE client computer.
    PS2: I did check that Internet Explorer has a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed.

  • How to detect the closure of browser window at the client side?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how I can detect the closure of the browser window at the client side from the server side?
    Please advise.
    Damien

    Basically you can't. People will suggest various Javascript things you could try, but they don't work reliably. So don't try, just make a design that doesn't require knowing that.

  • Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

    I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
    It says cannot connect to printer.
    I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
    If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
    Step 1: Download Process Monitor
    ======================
    1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
    2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
    Step 2: Clean Boot
    =============
    Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:  
    1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
    2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
    4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
    5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
    6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.  
    Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
    Step 3: Collect the Information
    =====================
    1. Open Procmon.exe (Process Monitor).
    2. Reproduce this issue.
    3. After that, please click Capture in the tool bar (or directly press Ctrl+E) in Process Monitor.
    4. Click Save, in the prompt window, selects “All Events”.
    5. Click Browser Button (The button is right to “Path”), in the prompt window, click Desktop, type “test” (without the quotation marks) in the File Name box and press Enter.
    6. Find the file, right-click on this file, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder".
    For your convenience, I have created a workspace for you.  You can upload the information files to the following link.  (Please choose "Send Files to Microsoft")
    Workspace URL: (https://sftasia.one.microsoft.com/choosetransfer.aspx?key=7f161e43-e9d9-4654-9077-88c9f57137c6)

    Note: Due to differences in text formatting with various email clients, the workspace link above may appear to be broken.  Please be sure to include all text between '(' and ')' when typing or copying the workspace link into your browser.
    Hope this helps.
