Connection to Windows Server stopped working

I have a very bizarre problem, our office of about 40 PCs with 5 Macs. 4 of those Macs have no problems connecting to a Server 2003 machine using SMB connections. The 5th machine had been working fine up until today. The user cannot connect to the server using his username. When prompted for the username and password if I use my domain username and password, it connects no problems. When he uses his domain account, the Mac returns the following error:
The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in smb://server+/+share could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
We have tried shutting down and restarting with no success. I have cleaned out his keychain of any saved information for that server and the problem still appears. No changes have been made to the server that would limit his access between yesterday and today.
He is running OS X 10.3.9 and is connecting wirelessly, but experiences the same problem on a wired connection. Since the other 4 Macs are not having problems (including another 10.3.9 laptop), I know it doesn't have to do with Server 2003's requirement for Digitally Signed communications.

I would guess the user's Windows account is corrupted. Since Error -36 is a read/write error, it could occur if the user's server account record is damaged. Since you can use this Mac to logon to other accounts, the Mac is probably fine. Since other Macs can still logon, the Windows server 2003 is fine. This points toward a corrupted account.
I've experienced this phenomenon with Windows accounts and Windows PCs.
A test would be to logon to this user's account from another machine on the network, either Mac or PC. Failure from another machine would point to corruption of that account on the Windows 2003 server. If corrupt, it will need to be deleted and re-created. Backup any server data for this account, since deleting the account will destroy any server data for this account.

Connection to Virtual server stopped working via manager and RDP

Hi
At first, sorry for my English
I have trouble with our Hyper-v server. There are 2 virtual servers running on it. One Domain controller and one Application server. It working fine, but it stopped working for 3rd time (randomly). No event is written in event viewer . If it happen, I can´t
connect via Hyper-v manager or RDP to the virtual machines and the services on virtual servers doesn´t work. It doesn´t write any error message or something while I trying to connect. I tried to restart hyper-v service with no result . It started working when
i restarted whole Hyper-v server.
Can you please help me with this one ?
thx

Hi ,
Please check the VM's state in hyper-v manager when it "stopped" .
What is the host's OS ?
What is the guest OS ?
Did you check hyper-v log ( event viewer --> application and services log -->microsoft --> windows -->then check hyper-v logs to find some useful information )
Also please check event log in VM .

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!
Byron

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
HTH, Carl.

I can't connect to Windows Server via FTP

I've been using FTP for about 13 years and it works fine on Apache servers but can't connect to a windows Server via my Fetch FTP program. The site owner sent me a screenshot and copied/pasted the password so I know I have the info correct. It is still giving me errors.
Is there a special method to connect to Windows server via FTP?

Windows explorer stopped working in a VDI environtment for a specific user only

Hi we have a VDI environment with a link clone image for all users. Only one user(admin1) login to the virtual desktop got this error, ....windows explorer stop working and requires restart it. it is the same issue after restart it, change a PC, change another
VDI client version,always same issue. Tried other users with these pc and client and has no issue at all. All use the same pool,same snapshot and same image. Windows 7 32bit OS. also tried to delete the profile folder and let it recreate it , it's redirected
to a file server. the folder can be seen created,but empty inside. other user profile all ok. this user admin1 is a domain administrator. It's property in AD shows an extra "delegation" tab and all else look the same as other account. Since other
users ok, I believe it's not VDI issue, should be this windows user profile issue. any advice please?Thanks
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Hi,
Please first take a try to run SFC /Scannow command under the user account;
Further, we may take a try to fix the user profile through the steps mentioned in the below article:

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.
Narmin

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,

Thank You!

If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.
