DFS Folder Target to Samba Share not working

Hello folks,
I'm on Server 2012 R2. I'm using a DFS Namespace that is configured as standalone server (i.e. not a domain-based namespace). The Namespace is the IP address of the server. I have also tried this with the hostname of the server and I get the same results.
Here's my problem:
I've created a folder target within DFS that points to a samba share on a linux-based NAS. The samba share is a 'cloud storage' share hosted by my server host, so I'm not entirely sure what specific technology it is. It does not have a public ACL - it requires
authentication and I cannot change that. I can connect to the Namespace fine from other servers. However, when I try to open the folder target, it tells me "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Then, if I right-click the folder, select
Properties then the DFS tab, I see that the path is Active. If I click Check Status, I get Okay, and when I exit, the folder is now navigable and I have no problems browsing the folders. Sometimes when I close Explorer, the share will still be accessible when
I reopen Explorer and browse to it, but most of the time when I close and reopen, the same error is displayed and I have to Check Status again to regain access. If I logout of the session, log back in and try again, it always gives me the error until I Check
Status again.
The idea is to access this share from multiple instances of IIS, so obviously requiring user intervention is not going to be suitable. I have added a local user to the DFS server that matches the valid credentials on the samba share, and I've also added
them to all the servers trying to use this share. I've confirmed that all servers can browse directly to the share. I do notice that when I browse directly to the samba share after having not used it for some time (30 minutes or one hour), it takes longer
than expected to open - maybe 10 seconds. Could this lag be causing the issue? There are no errors or warnings in the logs on the DFS server. Any ideas what this could be? Have I missed something? Massive thanks for any guidance!

Printer shares not working since upgrade to samba 3.5.0 - SOLVED-ish

I share my printer with my wife's XP laptop and another linux box. This has been the position for the past 2 years or so, without any problems at all. Yesterday I did my first reboot for a couple of weeks, and the first, therefore, since samba / smbclient upgraded to 3.5.0. I can no longer print from the XP or other linux boxes. Samba logs the error as :

I am guessing tht the "WAITING Closing on EOF" part may be important.
Other aspects of samba do not appear to be affected. I can mount shares on the remote computers, use smbclient etc.
Googling is not getting me anywhere.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have had similar issues at my office.......I had a hylafax server (also sharing a couple printers via samba) running on debian 5 (samba 3.2) and upgraded it to debian 6 (samba 3.5). and it was samba printer sharing hell after that. What would happen is I would get samba logs full of the same jibberish

I only post this here since I think it was more of a samba problem than a debian problem and we seem to be the only ppl out there talking about it......... the getpeername seemed to be the problem (to me anyway) and what would happen on our 25 or so XP home clients is that you would print but it wouldnt go ANYWHERE. Cups was not even recieving the jobs since samba was not passing the jobs to cups.
It seems to me that the XP machines were not finding the server by its hostname so I messed around with changing the clients to map the printer by ip address instead of by hostname and it helped "some" but it still had big time glitchyness.
the only conclusion I could come to in my mind is that this reminded me of back in the day when we had a win98se computer sharing a printer and the windows XP systems would hang for up to 2 min while trying to access the printer. The problem back then amounted to win XP not wanting to downstep to the older way of windows98's password encryption. So I started changing my smb.conf to allow guest on the printer, changed the mask to 777 and I even wrote up a whole new smb.conf from scratch to work on security = share no authentication, allow from everyone 777 etc etc.............STILL had problems.
So I ended up throwing together a new server from a spare machine and installing debian 5.0.3 (with samba 3.2.5) and swapping it out yesterday........now EVERYTHING works fine.
my educated guess here is that the new samba is probobly geared more towards vista & win7 than it is XP (since XP is a pretty old dog these days). I would loved to have worked this issue out but we just could not have the downtime any longer......so it looks like I am not going to be updating for a long time (which I now is not really the best policy) but it has to work.
I hope this helps.....trust me you are not the only ones having this problem.

Leopard 10.5.5 and Linux Samba shares not connecting

I have seen this talked about many times, but I have not found the answer. And my situation is always slightly different from others...so here it is!
when I try to connect to our samba share, here are my steps...
Go
Connect to Server
smb://10.xx.xx.xx
Connect
here's where the problem is: the enter username and password pops up, and asks me to put them in...there is no user/password on our samba shares, and I cannot connect via guest either.
in Tiger, there was a work around through terminal to connect, but that doesn't apply to Leopard. We only have 2 Leopard machines here, all the rest are still Tiger, but we are eyeing upgrades, and would be forced to go up to Leopard since we can't buy new Macs with Tiger anymore.

best answer...get rid of Linux share, replaced it with an OS X server, no problems at all...

Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
More info, please.

Target Load order is not working properly in 11.2.0.2

Hi,
Mappings whihc are migrated from OWB10.2 version to 11.2 which contains multiple targets are not working in accordance with the target load order given in the mapping.
The order in which targets are loaded changes between execution.
To test is this a problem with migration we had created a smaple mapping containg 3 targets and mentioned loading order in each target table as well as in mapping property.
The order in which the targets are loaded was random. But when we have 2 targets it seems to be working. But for migrated maps this is also not working.
Is there any bug reported in 11.2.0.2 for this issue? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Pnreddy

Target load ordering is set to false by default in 11.2.
You need to set it to true if you want your mapping to use it.

ITunes Home Sharring not working correctly.

My itunes homesharing is not working correctly. I have a Windows 8 computer and I am trying to share with my partners Widows 7 computer. Both computers are running the newest version of itunes 11 (downloaded yesterday). I sign in and turned on home sharring with the same user id and password. For the first 20-30 mins it worked perfectly, I could open her library and she could open mine and we could download songs from each other with no issue. We closed both computers and about 2 hours later turned them on to try again. Now my computer (Windows8) always shows up on hers but her computer only shows up about 1/2 the time for me, and half of that time if you click on her computer it says loading then stops and her computer has disapperard again. I can eventually get it to work after many turning off and on of home sharring but it take about 15-20min each time to get it working. Is this a problem others have seen? Does anyone know a solution?

This issue has now been completely resolved with the introduction of iTunes 9.2 Everything up and running again - thank you Apple! (Still an issue with Dictionary app/Wikipedia not functioning correctly, this has not been resolved)

Home sharring not working.

My home sharing wont work. I'm supposed to have it on four different computers and it wont work on any of them. I've tried everything. Help please

Got new iTune update, instaled on my home server 2008 r2, as I had the previous versionon here. Now with the new Itunes my home sharring is not working when it use to work fine on the older version. However this works fine on my Laptop on windows 7, Iam guessing the new Itune doesn't support Server ? Or is there some thing i need to do. Can Apple Help me ?

Share not working on 10.0.6 or 10.0.7?

Share is not working for any of my projects, I am using latest OS X and latest iMovie 10.0.7.
I select "share" and then any of the icons in the menu and no further windows are displayed.....nothing.
I have corrected all permissions on all disks, I have restored iMovie library and Theater library.
Has any one any idea as to what is blocking "share' post icon selection?
Thank you for your help.

I have found a workaround solution. I have set up a new user account on my iMac and logging into this account and using iMovie and the same iMovie Library I can share! This will work for me until a proper solution has been found. I clearly have a problem with my Admin account and using iMovie library with the share function. Before deciding on this workaround I corrected all permissions etc, even restored OS X, but to no avail. Enough time has been wasted. Apple need more robustness in the iMovie code involved with rendering and sharing and when things do not work much clearer messages etc to give a clue as to what files are involved in the failure. Just allowing the program function to hang is not good enough.

Directv media share not working with S4(4.4.2)

Directv media share is not working on my S4. The phone is recognized but is unable to share media. Function worked fine with Droid Razr Maxx HD.

If the same exact app and code works with 4.0 with the same ForeignKeyDeleteAction setting, I suggest that you open a case with support.
This property hasn't changed since 4.0

Mail Signatures, Folder Organization, Notification and Attachments not working the same since upgrade to Mavericks

Hi All,
Normally very quick to do so, I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Mavericks based on so many issues being reported with Mail + Gmail.
Previously Apple released a fix for these issues and I still waited a while. This weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and Mail is definitely not working as I’d expect it.
Some of the things I notice include:
1) My saved mail folders, previously in alphabetical order, are now in reverse alphabetical order and dragging them to be in a different order has no effect
2) Previously when I clicked on a message and pressed Message > Remove Attachments the message would reappear in my inbox within a second or two, without the attachment. Now, the message simply disappears.
3) The little red icon no longer appears in the dock when a new message arrives
4) For my various accounts, signatures do not appear/disappear as I select a different From account (each of my accounts has different signatures).
Does anyone have thoughts on any of these items?
Thanks,

Not an answer, but a repeat ...
I too have problem (2) -- Remove Attachment now makes the email in question disappear (in fact moving it to Archive).
Help would be appreciated.
(Have just moved from Lion to Mavericks.)

Why does Flickr share not work in Elements 9?

When I try to use it a message appears 'its being worked on' This has been an issue for 4 days. What do I do to use Flickr?

I'm really new to this forum business. Is there a difference between Photoshop elements and plain Elements? I thought I was in a forum that could answer my question about Flickr not working in elements or photoshop elements 9. I need someone to lead me out of the desert and deliver me to a place where I'll find what I'm looking for.
Is there a Moses in this forum to help me????????????
and thanks in advance.

New Folder Redirection Group Policy is not working

Recently installed a new server on an older network:
Old network server: SBS 2003
New network server: Server 2012 STD
The network is working well and all computers are able to communicate with each other. I have already mapped a few network drives to folders that are located on the server. The owner wants to implement the same Folder Redirection of their Documents folder
(Mixture of WIN7 PCs and WINXP) that their old server provided. I used the following Document to create the Folder Redirection:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649078.aspx
I then went to each computer and performed a gpupdate /force on each computer than logged off the profile. When I logged off, the sync window (folder redirection?) popped up and still showed that it was trying to transfer/sync with the old server that is
no longer on the network. I also logged into the server and the shared folder that I selected for Folder Redirection does not have any data in it.
Is there something else that I am missing. Is there some sort of configuration on the clients themselves that I need to look for such as some Target Path?
I can provide more information upon request.

Hi,
Based on your description, have we redirected the folders back before we removed the older server?
Besides, were there some error events in the Event Viewer?
To configure folder redirection, we need to assign users proper share and NTFS permissions.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Security Recommendations for Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc736916.aspx
Besides, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can also be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc786749.aspx
In addition, for folder redirection to work, we need to log off clients twice, or we can enable the following policy.
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System/Logon > Always wait for the network at computer startup
and logon
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Frank Shen
