DFS Path support in OS X

Anyone testing Leopard in a Lab environment?
If so, see any support for mounting shared drive with DFS paths after AD authentication?
Thanks.

Sorry, but anyone testing Leopard is by nondisclosure agreement prevented from discussing any aspect of it in public. So no one can answer your question until such time as Apple makes more information publicly available or Leopard is released.
(And your question has nothing that I can see to do with Apple Remote Desktop).

  • File System Repository - using DFS path

    Hi, I want to integrate a windows share through a DFS (distributed file system) path. I only found this thread about DFS support where Marcel Rabe says that they have connected KM to a Microsoft based DFS.
    Has anybody else managed to use a windows share through a dfs path?
    I've created a network path where I have configured the dfs path with the correct user and password. I've provided the domain for the user like this:
    domain\username
    Then I've created a File System Repository where I have defined the same dfs path as Root directory. I use AclSecurityManager but I've also tried to change it to "not set".
    The Component Monitor shows the following error:
    Startup Error:  getting mapped math - Access is denied
    But I know that the username and password are correct.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Marcel,
    that's exactly the problem we are experiencing with the same setup and same error-message.
    Did you manage to resolve the problem? I'm gratefull for any hint.

  • Text Variable With Replacement Path : supported in Webi 4.0 or Not.??

    Hello to All WebI Gurus,
    We are on BO 4.0
    We are building WebI report on top of Bex query using the BICS connection from IDT.
    Our BW query is having some Text Variable with processing type "Replacement Path".
    Also its having fiscal year period in filter with user input variable.
    the text variables references Fiscal year period and are used in Key figure description,
    hence whatever value the input variable will capture the description of Key figure changes accordingly/dynamically.
    But when I try to use it in BO it throws me an error msg saying :
    Unknown error occured in SL Services
    I am Aware that text variable in this fashion were not supported in BO XI3.1
    Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer
    So are Text variable Supported in BO 4.0 in this fashion.
    Any response will be highly appreciable.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Here's a great SDN article, which includes several slides covering u201CWhich BEx features are supported using BICS connectivityu201D : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d056e1bc-2794-2e10-959e-8779c5623cc5
    Pages 8 -> 12 cover these topics.
    If your design choices are compliant (supported) then i'd avise opening a support case if this issue persist after checking again on Patch2.11 (release recently)

  • IMAP4 folder path support seems to be broken.

    Hi,
    is seems that the IMAP4 support is not working properly. At least with the E60 and the E71 the following happens:
    IMAP4 folder path is set to: INBOX. (with the dot!)
    Expected imap4 command to get the folder list:
    LIST "" "INBOX.%"
    but the mobile client sends:
    LIST "" "INBOX.\\%"
    which is wrong (as far as I understand) and does not work.
    Any ideas how I can force the client to send the correct command?
    kind regards,
    matthias

    Same problem Here!
    No one Folder Path configuration is working for me!
    With my GMX account no problem, because all the folders are based in the root.
    But with my ARUBA business account,  all the folders are placed inside the INBOX and there is no way to have my E71 to download the folders in my emai IMAP INBOX account!!!
    For many reasons I don't wanna use any add-on email client, neither the nokia messaging. 
    I need to use mu E71 Built-in email client.
    Is it possible at Nokia, they don'y know about this?
    Is it possible no one in the world experienced this and there's no workaround?
    Do we all have to move to the everyday more tempting iPhone....???????

  • SYSVOL on Win8 Clients DFS link points to wrong path

    Since I introduced a secondary DSfW DC I experience wrong DFS paths on
    my only Win8 DSfW member computer, if the active path of
    \\domain\sysvol points to the secondary DC. It points to the sysvol on
    the secondary DC instead of the sysvol-msdfs.
    This happens especially after extended uptime of the Win8 machine. It
    does not happen on Win7 and XP clients.
    One thing to take into account further is, that on Win8 UAC is on
    whereas UAC is off on Win7 (and of course XP).
    I already removed this machine from the domain and readded it without
    changing that behaviour and I have no real influence on that, too - as
    it just happens out of the blue and I see that group policies could not
    be applied due to the incorrect path. If I turn this machine off in the
    evening and turn it on the next day settings are correct at the
    beginning, but turn wrong after 6-12 hours of uptime.
    I have no idea where to dig further.

  • How to monitor DFS login prompt problem? (share corruption)

    Twice we have experienced problems with our DFS shares, both times we discovered that there was one server with a share problem. If we tried to open a share from that server we got a logon prompt. The fastest fix was to rename the DFS folder and the new
    one was replicated in minutes.
    There was about a year between the first and the second time we had this problem.
    The problem is that our Citrix environment is built on DFS shares.  Both times when we got this DFS problem we couldn’t find the cause straight away, it took some hours to discover it was DFS. This problem got a big impact on our production environment.
    Lately I create a lot of Powershell scripts that checks the status of something. If we got a problem with something (like Exchange) then I search for the symptoms of how I can recognize it with Powershell. The output of those scripts is returned to the monitoring
    tool Nagios.
    I want to create a check for this DFS problem, so when it occurs we get an alarm from Nagios and we can fix it right away with less impact for our users. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of information about recognizing the symptoms of this DFS problem.
    The only thing I know that there is a login prompt of accessing the share on per server.
    The second problem is that I can’t test it, because I can’t and don’t to force a corruption on the DFS share.
    I found someone that created a check based on writing a file to a DFS share and checked that date stamp of the file. For now it is my best option.
    I’m wondering if there is someone that got a better idea or if somebody does know more symptoms about recognising this specific DFS problem. (Events (we couldn’t find them), errors in a log file)

    Hi,
    Please try to access the DFS file shares not the dfs path but the UNC path the DFS members to check if you still get a logon prompt.
    You could also refer to the article below to see if it helps:
    You cannot access a DFS share by using a valid user account in Windows Server 2008 R2, in Windows 7, in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008

  • DFS folder visibility and group membership

    Hello
    I have a forest with multiple domain
    I have activated ABE on DFS
    My design is :
    \\contoso.com\DFS
    -Site1 -> \\site1.contoso.com\DFS (explicit permission : DL.folder1.site1)
    \\site1.contoso.com\DFS
    -Folder1 -> \\fileserver.site1.contoso.com\Folder1 (explicit permission : DL.folder1.site1)
    i have set explicit explicit authorization with Domain local group (Domain local groups contains Global Group which contain users)
    when my user  from site 1 connect to : \\site1.contoso.com\dfs  it's work they can see the folder1 only if they are in DL.folder1.site1
    But when there are connect to \\contoso.com\DFS then don't see ther folder site1. but they can't access it if put the full path ( \contoso.com\DFS\site1

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you have a Domain local group named DL.folder1.site1 and you give explicit permission on the group to access DFS share Folder1? You have enabled ABE. The use in the group can see the Folder1 using the DFS path
    \\site1.contoso.com\dfs. But the user cannot see the Folder1 using the DFS path
    \\contoso.com\DFS and the user cannot access the Folder1 using the full path
    \\contoso.com\DFS\Folder1?
    The DFS share is created on the domain or the forest? If on the forest, I think it is by design. As the DFS domain namespace is domain based, so we could not access it using forest name.

  • Lion 10.7.2 DFS share access issue

    hi
    i have a macbook air running 10.7.2 and we have a DFS file server running windows 2008 r2
    our name space is domain based and i can access the file server using \\domain.com\uk\data and \\domain\uk\home\xxx (where xxx is the username)
    the first is the shared data drive and the 2nd is the users home drive
    all works beautifully when i am connected via the ethernet. as soon as i move onto the internal wifi (sits on the same network as the ethernet lan and has full access to all network resource, our windows 7 laptops can access all shares just fine) i can all of a sudden no longer access the DFS share \\accel.com\uk\data
    it either says it cannot find it or a username and password box comes up (i am using centrify to leverage our AD user accounts on our mac's) when i enter my username and password it does not accept it. I have the same issue when i am outside of the office and vpn's in.
    this evening i discovered that i have no problems accessing our DFS share if i enter \\domain.com\uk and i am presented with the folder UK on my dekstop and when i click on it i can see the DATA and HOME drive subfolder
    when i now go to the finder and click on connect to server SMB://domain.com/uk/home/xxx it connects fine
    so it seems that the /uk/ bit of the DFS path is confusing the mac client when not connected via the ethernet lan cable.
    i have tried to mount via the cli but it comes up with no route to host and the console log displays something similar
    at least i have a work around now but does anyone know if this is an issue with my name space setup or whether this is a bug (i presume bug as windows 7 clients have no issue with this namespace but i am not taking anything for granted :-) )
    thank you
    ps i found this post but it is slightly different to the issue i am having https://discussions.apple.com/message/16187498#16187498

    The issue has previously hit Apple TV owners. I think people came to the conclusion that it was a HDMI handshake problem. Basically the process where the device and TV greet each other, make up some rules about communicationg and what their secret key is and so on.
    I haven't tried this yet, but my local service center says that basically I can do one of two things:
    - Downgrade to 10.7 and then download the 10.7.1 update from Apples website. To do this without having a Mac OS X Lion disc, you can hold down CMD + R when the computer boots to be able to access the recovery partition on newer Macs that come without the OS disc.
    or..
    - Put something in between the computer and TV. For example, if you're using an amplifier as a part of your home theather set up, this will probably work. The service guy said he has his Mini connected to the amplifier, which in turn is connected to speakers and a projector. The inverted colors still appear, but only once per night (i.e. after the first problem is reset by resetting the link then it's fine).
    For now, I'll do my little dance of changing the source on the TV from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and then back again to reset the link... But, I'll probably try downgrading in a few days.

  • Connection to the deployment share could not be made (DFS share, works fine on site A, not on Site B)

    I'm trying to isolate this problem with MDT..., unable to find a solution matching this error.
    We have two sites, with a DFS replica between the servers, which works fine. 
    Server A: Windows 2012 R2 standard
    Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 
    MDT 2012, Update 1 
    WDS configured for PXE boot 
    Distributed File Share
    Server B: Windows 2008 R2 Standard 
    MDT 2012, Update 1 
    WDS configured for PXE boot 
    Distributed File Share
    The local path on both servers is on E:\DFS-Deploymentshare
    The DFS path is \\domain.com\it\deploymentshare
    When deploying on Site A, the deployment run smooth without problems.
    When deploying on Site B, the deployment fails to create connection to the share. 
    A connection to the deployment share (\\domain.com\it\deploymentshare) could not be made.
    Connection OK. Possible cause: invalid credentials.
    Pressing F8, to reach a command prompt. "ipconfig" shows an IP-address. I can PING the deployment server. I can mount the Deployment share using "net use" and providing the username/password added in the bootstrap.ini and "retry"
    in the message box and the deployment continues.
    In the BDD log i get this timeout:
    <![LOG[Unable to connect to \\domain.com\it\deplomentshare. Sleeping for 5 seconds. 
    <![LOG[<Message containinng password has been suppressed>
    <![LOG[Access is denied.
    However everything is the same both in site A and B so this seems very strange!
    The complete system has worked this way before.
    Bootstrap.ini contains: 
    DeployRoot=\\domain.com\it\deploymentshare 
    UserDomain="domain" 
    UserID="mdt-account" 
    UserPassword="password" 
    I've been trying all I can think of, but Im still faced with this error and to keep in mind the same share working on another site.

    Ok, so by the sounds of it, there is something wrong with the share permissions (especially if your account works fine but the MDTserviceaccount does not work even when part of Domain Admins).
    So you need to do the following:
    Start in Site A:
    Boot into WinPE on a workstation in site A
    Ping server-a
    Ping server-b
    Run "net use * \\server-a\deploymentshare$ /user:DOMAIN\MDTserviceaccount"
    Type in the password for MDTserviceaccount when prompted
    Browse to the newly mapped drive and list the files/folders
    Make sure you can see the relevant MDT folders, like Applications, Out-of-Box Drivers, etc
    If all that works, then you can move to site B
    Start in Site B:
    Boot into WinPE on a workstation in site B
    Ping server-a
    Ping server-b
    Run "net use * \\server-b\deploymentshare$ /user:DOMAIN\MDTserviceaccount"
    Type in the password for MDTserviceaccount when prompted
    Browse to the newly mapped drive and list the files/folders
    Make sure you can see the relevant MDT folders, like Applications, Out-of-Box Drivers, etc
    By going through all of the above, you should be able to see where the problem lies.
    If all of the above works with no problems, then you have the details incorrectly specified in the BootStrap.ini (or possibly CustomSettings.ini). Confirm that you have the following specified in the relevant ini file:
    DeployRoot
    UserID
    UserDomain
    UserPassword
    You can have a look in the help file if you need to confirm that these properties are configured correctly. Look under
    Toolkit Reference - Properties - Property Definition in the help file.
    Both Site A and Site B is successfully
    I have changed the Password of deployuser to test if it is correct. and i have copy/pasted the password into the DC when changing the password.
    I have tested the password by logging on to a client-pc with the deployuser as username and the temp password "Pa$$w0rd" successfully.
    Both UserID, UserDomain and UserPassword is entered after the help file for Property Definition.
    Please see the Bootstrap.ini and Customsettings.ini (NB! Servernames, Domainname and Passwords are fictive.)

  • Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

    I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
    I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
    Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

    Below is from using a SIP build.  It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
    m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
    a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
    a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
    a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
    a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
    a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
    a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
    a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
    a=fmtp:116 mode=20
    a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
    Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call.  It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET!  YAY!
    m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
    a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
    a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
    a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
    a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
    Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues.  The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722.  It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it.  It's fantastic..  The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings.  Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time.  I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
    Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS!  It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost..  I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only.  I'm a little leery about that at this point.  If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
    Sreekanth
    Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build..  That was about the only thing I didn't try.  I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.

  • Using DFS-R to replicate VHD and VHDX Files

    Hello -
    I am trying to find a solution to replicate VHD files and VHDX files between two data centers. I'm deploying the solution using Windows Server 2012.
    The VHD files are not virtual machines, they are simply storage areas (one for each user) that contain user documents and other files.
    The users will potentially log on to terminal servers in two locations and I'd like the VHD files to be accessible from both locations. The VHD files will mount during the logon sequence into a mount point within the users profile (or some other accessible
    area within the file system). This is a bit like user profile disks, but more user data disks.
    Has anyone attempted the replication of VHD files before using DFS-R, and are there any things I should be aware of?
    Will DFS-R support delta replication of VHDs? If a user has a 500 MB presentation, within the VHD file, and changes a single line of text, I'd prefer for only the changed blocks to synchronize.
    I don't believe DFS-R supports replicating open files, so I understand that the data won't be in sync until the VHD file us unmounted, but thats okay.
    Cheers, I'd welcome any feedback.

    If you don't own a pretty fat pipe between the data centres (and it comes free of charge) that's not the best idea. For a reason: DFS-R does use compression only paired with per-file changed block tracker no deduplication see...
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771058.aspx
    ...so at the end of the day you'll replicate TONS of non-required information. What you really need to do: deploy a third-party replication solution layered up and working on top of the volume(s) where your VHD/VHDX files are stored. 
    Will DFS-R work to replicate VHD/VHDX? YES
    Is DFS-R optimal for VHD/VHDX replication scenario? NO
    Hope this helped :)

  • How to Activate component is Support Message

    Dear Friends,
    Path: Support Message -> Transaction Data -> SAP Attributes-> Component Field, press F4
    in the F4 I will get list of components. But for ' MM Material Management' its Grey. If I select MM, system gives error"Software component PP not available , check your entry"
    So if I activate this componet MM, then I think it will allow to choose MM & will not give error.
    Regards
    Praveen K

    Dear Rajeev,
    The path which I have mentioned. Path: Support Message -> Transaction Data -> SAP Attributes-> Component Field
    In this filed MM comes automatically, since end user has raised the support desk message with MM component.so that it will determine MM support team.
    Once the support desk message is in process & if I want to change the component (which is already having MM) in the path :Support Message -> Transaction Data -> SAP Attributes-> Component Field
    If I edit this MM coponent & try to enter PP it will give error, but even if I want save it with same MM component it give error. ANy way if I want to select MM from F4 , it will not select, Becoze MM Grey color(Not active)

  • Open 2nd PDF from UNC-path fails

    Hallo,
    I use Adobe Reader 11.0.08 on Windows7 SP1 (Enterprise) and I try to open PDF-files from UNC-path. The first attempt is successful. If Adobe Reader is still opened, the attempt to open a 2nd PDF-file from (same or other) UNC-path in Windows Explorer does not work without any error message. The file does not open.
    The following attempts were successful or not:
    (drive P:\ = \\domain\dfs$)
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
    Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
    In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file too.
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
    Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
    In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file too.
    Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
    Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
    Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
    Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
    If Adobe Reader is still opened, but no file is opened:
    Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
    Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
    As you can see: If Adobe Reader is still opened, I can't open a PDF-file from UNC-path from Explorer. But that's what we need. Our Frontend-application opens an Explorer window and the user has to choose the PDF-files to open via double-click. It would be a very roundabout way to copy the Location from Explorer to open the file in Adobe Reader. We'd like to open the first and all other files for the same session from Explorer via double-click.
    Sure, if I disable protected mode every attempt works fine but unfortunatelly it is no permitted option to disable protected mode (security policy) - it has to be enabled.
    Each change in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" was not successful. For information its current config that works as mentioned above:
    ; Files Section
    FILES_ALLOW_ANY = \??\UNC\domain\dfs$\*
    (no entries in other sections)
    How can I open every PDF-file for a session from UNC-path via double-click from Explorer if Adobe Reader is still opened ?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    Can you please update your Reader to latest version "Adobe Reader 11.0.9" and verify that the issue still occurs.
    Thanks,

  • Regarding Support of OLE objects

    I have a migration tool that migrates data from Lotus Notes ECM. However i am not sure about Office Info Path 2010 that supports the creation of OLE objects or not. I just want to make sure if Info Path supports this feature(OLE Objects) , it would be helpful
    if i am provided with some links regarding this and if it does not support how can i proceed further with my OLE Objects that i have in Lotus Notes ECM and migrate those to Office Info Path.
    Since my test passed successfully when i migrated an simple attachment only from source Lotus Notes ECM to Info Path 2010 but OLE objects fails and i get nothing displayed in Info Path 2010 document.
    Any comments/suggestions will help a lot.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Murali,
    Thanks a lot for the response.
    I have checked it for the Info Object and it is in the respective package. But,the data elements and domains are still in $TMP .
    Regards,

  • Powerpoint 2008 on iMac - motion path

    Does MS PowerPoint 2008 for iMac supports motion path? MS PowerPoint 2004 for iMac does not.
    Please help...
    Thank you.

    PowerPoint 2008 has partial motion path support. PowerPoint will honor any existing motion paths within a presentation. The custom animation feature offers the same pre-set motion paths that exist in Windows.
    OpenOffice version 2.40 does display motion paths and lets you edit them.
    Each and every time you save the document you have to visit Tools >
    Options, check the load and save checkboxes next to "PowerPoint to
    OpenOffice.org Impress/OpenOffice.org impress to PowerPoint" It seems to
    be about 50/50 whether the file is saved correctly from OpenOffice.
    "Correctly" meaning that PowerPoint will honor the motion path. I tried
    half a dozen times with various shapes and motion paths. Sometimes it
    works. Sometimes not. Wasn't able to figure out the reason or a pattern.
    Haven't tried in OpenOffice version 3 beta, jet.
    The next version of Microsoft Office will support VBA, and VBA supports motion paths, so maybe next time.
