Connection to Windows 2008 Server via SMB hangs after standby

After boot or reboot, I can easily "connect to server" in finder to the Windows Server 2008 machine via smb://hostname. The network and shares work good without connection drops.
However, when my Macbook resumes from standby or hibernation, the mounts do not reconnect, and the connected server in finder keeps reconnecting until the connecting failed message appears. When trying to unmount the smb server, finder hangs from time to time. When trying to reconnect via "connect to server" using either IP address or hostname, the connecting window with the moving bar appears, but never succeeds. The only option is to reboot the machine to be able to reconnect to the windows server and mount some shares.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks!

I've been having exactly the same issue on my iMac-- very frustrating. I'm not aware of a permanent cure yet, but on my system I usually can avoid a full reboot by turning my Airport/wireless on for a few seconds, and then off again. The Windows shares become visible again after doing so. (My normal state is wired network only, with Airport off.)

Hello...
It seems I got it fixed!! I had been trying the Fixit tool from

This tool is for changing RDP port but running it fixed my problem (I kept the port 3389 intact)!!
Hope it helps someone.

Connect to 10.7 server via SMB

So I am testing out 10.7 server on my home network and all is working great except my media extenders (popcorn hour) can't connect to my server anymore because of apple's new rpelcaement to SMB. They don't even see it on the network. SO, is there any way to get install or get SMB working again on 10.7 server? I have this new mac mini I would love to use, but it only runns 10.7, I can't go down to 10.6.8
Thanks For any help you might have,
SCott

As far as I can tell it was dodgy replicas, have changed all remote servers to a "Connected To" OD setup.
My OD is still screwed though

PS CS5 Write Acess Error saving to a windows 2008 server share

Hi Everyone,
Our macs are running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and we save/open files on a Windows 2008 Server via SMB,
this particular problem, seems to be happening only with Photoshop:
Sometime, when we try to save an image, photoshop returns a write access error
at that time, if you go to the finder and take a look at the folder, the file had simply vanished.
If you close the image, all lost.
Everything is fine with Indesign and illustrator.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank you all very much in advance.
William

Thanks for the reply Chris,
I am trying to look for a solution on the Mac OS side, this problem happens from time to time.
People keep trying to use Active Directory and log macs on it, it's always a problem.
And to make things worse, apple changes the way Mac OS handles network tasks,
they did it with 10.5 and 10.6. Well, we have to deal with that, right?
Thanks again
All the best

Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

Hi All
We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
*Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQl Server error:10060

Hi Eric,
yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu Reddy.

How to connect to Windows 2008 VPN server with certificate support

Unfortunatelly if I select any Windows 2008 server compatible protocol (PPTP, L2TP) I cannot select PKI certificate, its only available for Cisco VPN. Yet my company has 1000 laptops and utilizing Windows 2008 Server for VPN (Cisco is too expensive and unnecessary because VPN is part of Windows Server). PKI certificate is required for connection security.
Any plans to enable certificates for PPTP or L2TP in 2.1 firmware? Even better would be to add SSTP protocol with certificate support, because it takes only one standard TCP connection (https) per user (uses least possible NAT resources for heavy loaded NATed WiFi spots). Also in some public places https is the only option to connect as PPTP and L2TP are filtered.

Windows 2008 and Tiger SMB Issues

I've been pulling hair out all morning over this one.
We have a new Windows 2008 server for file sharing. We are trying to connect to it via SMB on our network (with AD domain). Works great on PC, works on Leopard, does not work on Tiger.
From connect I type “smb://xxxxxxxx” after a few minutes I get an error: “could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct” which is odd because I haven’t entered any login credentials to begin with.
I’ve been pouring over Google, Microsoft KB and anything else I can come across with no luck. Things I’ve tried.
-Clearing keychain passwords for the server
-Setting the digital signing on the server to disable (most cited fix, but no go for me)
-Setting Sharing and Security model to “Classic – local users authenticate themselves”
-Setting LAN Manager authentication to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”
-Editing the smb.conf file on the mac to no security
-Created the nsmb.conf file on the mac with minauth=none.
-Used Directory access on the mac to add the mac and bind it to the domain.
-Many Many restarts of the server and clients (and running gpupdate.exe on the server)
One thing that DOES work is a trial of ADmitmac… but this is not realistic for us if we have guest users needing to access the share.
I’ve been able to use smb before with tiger and windows xp and windows 2003… but the mac is throwing a fit over the new windows 2008. Also, we can’t upgrade all of our machines to Leopard (which does work) because it will break Quark 6.5.

Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2? We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine. All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005). The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed. So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions. While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart. There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window. Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services. My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.
Regards,
Ross Unger

Laserjet m1217 will not print through easyprint on windows 2008 server 64Bit

We have a client that has the LaserJet M1217 that is connecting to our Window 2008 Server SP2 64Bit via Remote Desktop. Easyprint recognizes the printer, but will not even print a test page. We get a FAIL message. We either need to know how to print through easyprint, or if there is a driver that can be installed remotely.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would contact Microsoft about this. Since Easy Print is one of their features, they should know what is causing the error in the first place. Let me know what they say.

Ubuntu client flakey connection to windows 7 server

Hi.
This is very strange, but:
1) server is windows server, and I can connect to it via java app from another windows machine
2) from ubuntu machine running client app, I can occassionally connect to the Windows Server.
3) ubuntu server: Linux 2.6.24-24-server , running java version "1.6.0_24"
4) windows server: Windows 2008 Server 64bit running Oracle 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0
Both machines are on Subnet 10.* network and firewalls are down on subnet.
I can ping each machine just fine.
When I attempt to connect from ubuntu machine the connection DOES (always) show up in v$session on server, but client not is returned a connection (Yet occasionally does).
I tried to turn on TNS tracing on server but couldn't see any tracing being done (tried setting in sqlnet.ora and listener.ora)
trace_level_server = 10
trace_file_server = server.trc
trace_directory_server = <path_to_trace_dir>
I also tried client side logging with using ojdbc6_g.jar and starting up the java prog like:
java -Doracle.jdbc.Trace=true -Djava.util.logging.config.file=jdbc.properties
jdbc.properties :
.level=SEVERE
oracle.jdbc.level=FINER
oracle.jdbc.handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=FINER
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern=jdbc.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count=1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
But didn't get any tell-tale signs...
Can anyone give me some suggestions to check on for A) the java program connectivity and/or B) the tracing problem on server?
Thanks,
Joel

This forum is dealing with connections from Oracle to foreign database using the gateway.
For me it looks like you're having a JDBC connection issue which is better handled in this forum:

Connect to windows 2003 server from 10.4.6

good day everyone,
very peculiar goings on after my recent upgrade to 10.4.6. my current arrangement is that i am connected to a windows 2003 server via my built in ethernet. until this update, no probs. now, however, i am able to log on to the server volumes, but i m unable to save files to them. i get the little red "do not enter" sign on the volumes, and it does not allow me to save. i am also getting duplicate server icons in my sidebar...for instance, i usually have 4 network volumes, named volume 1-4. now i have 2 of each, and i cant save to either. i can, however, drag and drp files on the server volumes.
the network volumes all work fine on the other macs in my department, all on 10.3.9.
any thoughts on this?
thanks,
cr

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the Apple User Forum - Again!
There have been some issues with regards to some applications saving to AFP volumes in 10.4.6.
(ExtremeZ-IP has an updated patch to handle this issue (v4.2.2) and it's free to those already on v4)
The AFP changes in 10.4.6 will cause you some issues with your Windows SFM volumes.
If you mount the volumes SMB, you may have better luck.
The other suggestion is to work the files locally to your desktop (on the Mac) and copy them to the server when you're finished.

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you
