File sharing to Windows with XServe as Domain Member

I have an XServe (10.4.3 server) that I am attempting to use as a new fileserver on an established Windows network (with SBS2000 on the old Windows server).
I had the XServe as a standalone server, and set up some folders to share, and used WGM to share them. This worked, but of course windows users accessed as guests, as they weren't identified properly.
I changed the XServe to be a domain member, and after a little hassle got this working, but now "Sharing" in WGM is greyed out, so I cannot mess with the shares (i.e. I cannot add or remove shares, or change the attributes of those folders that I have already shared).
How do I manipulate shares on a server which is a domain member?

Wow - 3 posts in my own thread - it just shows how much of a nuisance beginners can be. Sorry.
My issue, it turns out, was between the chair and the keyboard. I was connecting to the server using its Rendezvous name, not its domain name. (an easy mistake to make, in my case, as both start with the server name, and both end in local).
When WGM is connected to the renezvous name, the sharing tab is greyed out, when connected via the domain name, it works splendidly.
Sorry to bother you all, and I leave this here just in case others are as stupid as me, and therefore my solution may help them.

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • File Sharing Office Docs With Windows PCs

    I just upgraded my work computer, 24" iMac (pre-aluminum), to Leopard. At first I was thrilled to see the new file-sharing options in Leopard, as my computer has many company files shared. Before I was using a program called "Sharepoints" to share the files. That program does not work on Leopard.
    Unfortunately, shortly after setting up the shared directory, I began getting complaints that people could not access the files in the shared folder. Here's what was happening:
    They can get into the directory, and even open up the files (in this case it is excel files).
    They can edit them, but when they save them they get the following error:
    "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    But they cannot open it again.
    When they try to open it again they get the following error: "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    I can open and edit the document just fine on my iMac.
    What I have noticed is that it appears to change some permissions of that file when they save it, but only on my username it now says "Custom" instead of "Read/Write". If I go to the parent folder, change the permissions back to what they were before, and apply changes to all enclosed items, they can open the file again and save it once (just like above).
    What's the problem? We really need these files shared.

    I just submitted an official bug report to Apple which I will reproduce below. I hope this helps someone somewhere.
    Summary:
    After upgrading (erase and install) my 24" non-aluminum iMac to Leopard, I am unable to share files with other people on the business network. The main culprit appears to be MS Office files.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Choose the folder I want to share in System Preferences > Sharing > Folders.
    2) Apply the appropriate permissions to the folder: (Me) -> Read & Write; owner -> Read & Write; staff -> Read & Write; everyone -> Read & Write;
    3) Turn on SMB sharing and check the appropriate accounts.
    4) Attempt to access an Excel file with Office from a networked Windows PC.
    Expected Results:
    Sharing should be normal. Other computers should be able to access, edit, and save all files as if the shared directory were on their own computer.
    Actual Results:
    5) File opens fine, edits normally, but upon save it issues this error:
    (Office 2002): "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    6) Document will not reopen again and if you try it gives following error:
    (Office 2002): "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    Regression:
    When examining the permissions on my computer after someone else has accessed and saved it (with Office 2002), my permissions are changed to this: (Me) -> "Custom". If I change the permissions back to normal, recursively, the entire process can be repeated.
    If I create a rtf file and save it to the shared folder, it appears that it does not suffer from this problem. This leads me to think that perhaps it is an Office files only issue. Somehow Office is making changes to the permissions when it saves the file (in Office 2002), or does not understand the permissions (Office 2007). The problem exists with Excel, Word, and Powerpoint files.
    Notes:
    Related problem -- When I create an excel file from another Windows PC and put it in the shared directory on my Mac, I am unable to edit the file from my Mac. The permissions for the file are as follows: nobody -> Read & Write; staff -> Read only; everyone -> Read only.

  • Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

    We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
    I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
    again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
    I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

  • Frustrated with file sharing to windows

    Prior to Leopard, file sharing was SO easy it was one of the greatest features of owning a Mac at my Windows centric office. Now after installing Leopard, MONTHS of reading online forums and the discussions here has gotten me nowhere. The only success I've has has been with FTP.
    Can someone PLEASE help me or direct me to the proper tutorial of how to share files on my MacBook Pro with Windows machines? [I don't believe I just begged for help with my Mac!]
    What I have accomplished so far is enable sharing in the Sharing Pref Pane and I turned on SMB as everyone has suggested. My Windows machine can see my user folder and all the folders within it but I can not open any of those folders. If I change the access for Everyone to Read & Write then I can do what I'm trying to achieve. Obviously I don't want everyone on my network to have access.
    It would seem to me that I'm looking for a simple dialog window on the Windows machine to enter my user name and password but I don't see that. I can not find anyway to "LOG" in to the MacBook Pro.
    Why is it that I'm reading all this praise for Leopards new and improved file sharing features yet it seems like they've broken what had worked in the past?
    Now that I think about it, I think I was running SharePoint before so that was probably why I never had any issues before. That program unfortunately no longer works in Leopard.

    I'm a little confused now. I did as you suggested bulldog and created an account in the Sharing Pane with the same user name and password that I use on my Windows machine and gave it Read & Write Access.
    When I went to my Windows computer and attempted to navigate from Network Places to Workgroup, Workgroup was not there. I tried to reset my network connection and refresh the window but could never get Workgroup to come up.
    I then tried one of my previously mapped shares ("user" on Anthony's MBP) and got an error.
    I figured maybe that mapped share's IP got screwed up or something so I went to RUN and typed in my IP address of the Mac. 192.168.1.2/homefolder This actually prompted me for a user name and password! I entered the UN/PW that I had just created, the same one that I use to log in to my Windows machine, and got nothing. It tried to put PCNAME/ before my user name.
    Then I tried my UN/PW that I use on my Mac and that FINALLY worked. The confusing part is I KNOW that I've tried this many times before - it's always the FIRST thing that I try. I liked your idea Bulldog and thought that for sure it should work and I like how it limited access to certain folders for that user name.
    To add further to the confusion, I thought I'd give everything a second chance before I submit this post. I disconnected from the shared folder on my Windows computer to try and start over. It seems that now Workgroup is showing up. When I double click on that I see my Mac. When I double click on that I get a prompt for a user name and password. I tried both my Mac and Windows usernames and now NEITHER are working.
    I turn off File sharing to try to reset it on the Mac side and turn it back on. Workgroup is still present in Windows but when I double click it, it now stalled for 30 seconds and gives me a network path not found error. I repair my network connection in Windows, Workgroup goes away.
    I try RUN IP address again and it says that 192.168.1.2/homefolder is not available. I double check and verify that File Sharing is turned on and Read & Write is on for both Mac and Windows user names.
    I restart the Windows computer (incidentally a Macbook)
    No change
    I, again, turn OFF File Sharing - Turn it back on. Now I realize that when you restart file sharing you have to go back to Options and turn on SMB! Doh!
    Still no Workgroup but when I enter the IP address I get a prompt. I want to see if Workgroup shows up first though.
    I can't get Workgroup to show no matter what I do. I go back to enter my Mac's IP address/homefolder and try the Windows UN/PW and that still does not work. Only entering my Mac's UN/PW works at this point.
    For the moment, this will do for me. But it's still not correct from what I can tell. NOR IS IT EASY! Especially considering that what I have found to successfully work today is EXACTLY what I have ALWAYS used to access my Mac computers from a Windows computer.
    NOW that I'm connected (?), Workgroup shows up! I double clicked on it and it again prompted me for a username and password. I entered the same one that I used in the last step (Mac UN) and it successfully revealed all the mounted volumes on the Mac.
    This is still not solved because I can only get one username to connect remotely to my Mac. Thanks for the help though!

  • ITunes app file sharing not working with iOS 7.1.1

  • File Sharing XP & Vista with WRT54G-RG Problem

    I'm hoping a network ninja can help me out with this, because I can't figure it out.
    I have a desktop running XP Home, with a wired connection to the WRT54G-RG Router. 
    I have a notebook running Vista that's wirelessly connected to said router.
    I have a Rogers cable modem hooked up to the router for internet sharing.
    I can surf the net fine from both machines.  I cannot file share.  On XP desktop, the Vista notebook does not show up in the networked computer map.
    On the Vista notebook, I can see the desktop on the network, but if I click on it, I get:
    Windows cannot access //basementpc.  Error code: 0x80070035.  The network path was not found.
    Suspecting my new router, I hooked back up my old router, and everything works fine.  So I hooked up the new router again, and continued to try to figure this out.  I notice one thing strange.
    If I run ipconfig on the desktop, it says that it's IP is 192.168.0.105.  If I view the DHCP table on the router, it says the desktop IP is 192.168.0.106.  I'm pretty sure these numbers should match, and I'm not sure why they don't.  They match when I've got my old router hooked up.
    I can view the shared folders of the desktop from the notebook if I open a browser and type in the IP of the desktop (using the IP number reported from ipconfig, not the IP number from the DHCP table).
    I've done a few things to try to get things working:
    Turned off all firewalls on both machines, including the router firewall.
    I've done an ipconfig /flushdns on both machines
    I've done an ipconfig /release on both machines
    I've reset the router, turned off wireless security (for testing purposes)
    The firmware on the router appears to be the latest v5.00.38. 
    How can I get file sharing to work properly?  Not to mention printer sharing would be nice, but one step at a time!
    Thanks,
    Joe.

  • Permissions for file sharing to Windows users

    Greetings, I would be very pleased if someone could help me with file sharing permissions for Windows users of a Mac mini file server running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (not server).
    I have a folder in my root directory, lets call it Project, that holds a series of 10 sub folders, say 1 through 10. Some of my users I wish to have read/write access to the whole Project directory, and, having enabled file sharing in System Preferences (and SMB for Windows), I did cmd to get info on the Project folder, ticked sharing, added the users (whose user accounts I had replicated on the Mac from their Windows machines), gave them read/write access, and then was able to map a drive to Project in their machines. All good so far, notwithstanding an hour tussle with a Vista laptop . The other user 'groups' were set the following permissions: me - read/write; Admin - read/write; Everyone - no access; which seemed sensible.
    Then, when I wanted to only share say sub folders 4, 5 and 6 with other users, who will not have access to the whole Project directory, things were not as straight forward. I followed the same procedure as above, but for the particular sub folders. However, I think they are only able to see them if I provide read or read/write access for Everyone to the parent Project directory. This of course then lets them at least see all the other folders I do not want to share with them. I don't seem to be able to remove the Everyone group from the Project directory, which occurred to me might resolve this.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    "On the way down, it seems to me that you still can prevent that user from using folders that he or she is not supposed to use by setting appropriate permissions."
    I don't think this is the case. If I allow someone read & write access to a folder because they need to have read & write access to two of three subfolders, I cannot deny them (at least) read access to the third folder.
    In respect of a particular folder:
    1. You can only assign read; read & write; or write (drop box) to an individual user; and
    2. You can only assign No Access to everyone.
    Do I need to use Snow Leopard Server to be able to assign No Access to a particular folder for an individual user?

  • Simple File Sharing in Windows XP

    The simple file sharing that is automatically turned on in XP is
    causing some problems with programs we run. An administrator can turn
    it off, but as soon as any user logs onto the machine, the setting in
    re-enabled. It would seem that the novell client or more likely Group
    Policies set through the Workstation manager is turning it back on but
    we cannot find where to change the setting. What can we do to turn
    simple file sharing off and have it stay off for all users.
    Thanks

    PEDCO E & A Services Inc.

    It looks like we had that setting correct the whole time except the
    Security Setting check box was not checked. We're getting close! For
    administrators it works great, simple file sharing is turned off when
    they logon. However, the power users are still not able to change this
    setting I think because of security access (when they logon the setting
    never changes but the same change was made in thier policy package as
    the admin package).
    I thought maybe I could add the power users to another group to grant
    them access to change that setting, but I don't want to give them
    access they don't need. I saw that in C1 you can create custom groups
    though dynamic local users. I went to add privileges to a custom
    group, but there are no descriptions of what each privilege actually
    gives the user. I could not find an explaination on novell's website
    or in the help file. This may not work at all but right now I'm in a
    trial and error situation. If anyone knows what privilege to add or
    where to find descriptions of them, please let me know.
    Or if you happen to know another reason why administrators might work
    and power users don't, please let me know that also.
    Thanks

  • News files shared on Windows 8.1 PRO 64b PC are not visible by XP SP3 32bits

    HEllo all,
    I am sharing a directory with subdirectories on a PC running Win 8.1 (workgroup type) .
    In subdirectories there are some videos files. I add regulary some files, but all my other PC running Win XP don't see the new files.
    (of course F5 doesn't work)
    I put a guest account in the share and security properties with read/write autorizations , then  i put Everyone account with the same autorizations.
    I used the ICACLS the grant inheritance to Everyone for the directory , and didn"t work too .
    To make my new files to be visible by the other PC , i have to put the Share off, and share again the directory ...
    And so on ...
    Please can you help me ??

    Hi,
    Do Only PCs running Win XP have the issue? When you give guest account in the share and security properties with read/write autorizations and Everyone account with the same autorizations, please check if the new files inherit the permsisions. 
    You could check if Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent check box is selected.

  • File Sharing over IPsec with RV220W

    Hello all,
    Ultimately, the issue is that I have two RV220Ws with an IPsec VPN tunnel between them that appears to be up but that I can't seem to get folder sharing going over. Here's the background.
    I originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.
    So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. Looking at the IPsec Connection Status shows IPsec SA Established. I know that the tunnel is there because I can ping various machines at the other site from either end. I've tried just about everything I can think of but I just can not get file sharing going. The other issue is that while I can ping each of the RV220Ws from either end, when I try to hit the distant end's management console through a web browser, I get the initial SSL certificate warning that I click proceed on and then it just sits there spinning trying to load the management console on the distant RV220W. With the FVS318s I could hit the distant end management consoles via browser. So, here's more detail.
    Site: Home
    Subnet: 192.168.1.x
    Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
    Site: Office
    Subnet: 10.2.10.x
    Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
    I know the difference between my static (inbound IP) and my gateway (outbound IP)
    I tried creating firewall access rules by defining services as follows:
    FS-TCP: 135 - 139 TCP
    FS-UDP: 135 - 139 UDP
    SMB-TCP: 445 TCP
    SMB-UDP: 445 UDP
    Then the firewall access rules as follows (I'll just give a couple examples so you'll get the gist)
    Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
    Action: Always allow
    Service: SMB-TCP
    Source IP: Single IP
    Start: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the gateway IP of the distant end at home)
    Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
    When that wasn't working, I created another set of rules for the internal IPs of the distant end as follows:
    Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
    Action: Always allow
    Service: SMB-TCP
    Source IP: Address Range
    Start: 192.168.1.1
    Finish: 192.168.1.254
    Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
    I also enabled Remote Management of the RV220W as:
    Access Type: Single IP address
    IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (gateway IP of the distant end at home)
    Port 443
    When that didn't work, I created two additional firewall rules for port 443 for the home gateway IP and the internal 192.168.1.x IPs. Still no go.
    So this is where I'm stuck. In the FVS318s I did not have to create any firewall rules for the VPN traffic. I started off with no rules for the RV220W because I didn't expect it'd need them and then I began adding the firewall rules in order to troubleshoot. Here's the funny thing. If I drop the FVS318 back into place at the office site, it all works as expected.
    So where do I go from here guys? About the only thing I haven't done is burn down the VPN tunnel in the RV220Ws and I haven't done that because I can ping hosts on either end and if I drop the FVS318 back into place it works fine. I'm totally stumped and would sincerely appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. If you need additional configuration information, I can provide that.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for answering, I was beginning to worry nobody had any idea how to help.
    The IP subnets did not change on either end.
    I am using the IP address to map. Critical machines are either static IP or reserved in DHCP and are all in the IP range of the VPN Policy.
    I can ping distant end machines in both directions by IP through the tunnel but I can not ping by hostname. I do not have NETBIOS enabled on the VPN policy. I'm using OpenDNS on both sides, so when I try to ping the hostname of the server I get the opendns.com IP back because it couldn't resolve the IP of the hostname during the lookup.
    Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, one end is at home, the other at my wife's business. During the day, I'm at work on the other side of town from both.

  • File Sharing works only with Firewall inactive

    I used to share files with an Xp Pc with no problem on my wifi network. When I upgraded to SL even though I see the pc in finder and the file sharing option is active I can access to my pc only if i stop the firewall.
    Bye

    Are you behind a router with a good firewall? If yes, there is no reason to use the Sno firewall. I only use it when on a public network--where I won't be doing any file sharing anyway.

  • File Sharing (Read & Write) with a Network User - "Network User" Not Listed

    My boyfriend and I both have Macs, running 10.6.3. Both Macs are connected to the internet via Apple Wireless Express. I have a MacBook Pro, and my boyfriend has an iMac with a big fancy screen, so I like to use for my own work when I'm at home and he isn't - it's just easier and more comfortable to use than a laptop.
    I would like to find a way to use his computer to access a shared folder on my laptop with read & write access (so that I can modify the files on my laptop while using his computer). I have gotten to the point where I have a folder on my laptop with the files I want shared with his computer, and can access this folder from his computer. However, doing it this way (accessing my files on my laptop from his computer) only allows read-only access. I would like to be able to edit the files that are on my laptop using his computer, so I think I would need read and write access.
    It seems the easiest way to do this would be to add a user (the boyfriend) on my laptop and give him read/write access to this specific folder that is located on my laptop. I found instructions on how to do this, and it says that I need to add a "network user". These instructions seem to indicate that when I add a user, there should be options for accounts on my laptop, my personal address book, a new account on my laptop, and network users. I see the first 3 options...but no option to add a network user.
    Why is that? How would I make it so that from my laptop, I can add a network user...specifically my boyfriend's computer, who also uses the same internet network that I use?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    While logged into the Mac Pro as MPUser1, I connect to the MacBook Pro file sharing as MBPUser1.
    Then I "disconnect".
    Then I log out of the Mac Pro MPUser1, and login as MPUser2.
    The connection to MBP as MBPUser1 is still active!
    This means that MPUser2 can access whatever MBPUser1 can access WITHOUT knowing MBPUser1's login password !
    This seems WRONG! Anybody else seen this?

  • Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

    I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances.  Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
    for instance:
    A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
    using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
    after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end.  Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
    apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
    any thoughts or suggestions?
    I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

    Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
    I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
    Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
    My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.
