FIrewall for Windows File Share for windows 2008

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded one of our application file server from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008. We use this server for file sharing. We used to read files and write files to this server. Post upgrade one week every thing went fine all of a sudden we started seeing
issues like the application servers stopped communicated to this server.
We worked with our firewall team and enabled port 445 post this the application servers started communicating to the file server. Our Application servers are on Windows 2003 server.
Can someone please help me understand what is the port that needs to be enabled for accessing the file shares. My firewall team confirmed there were no firewalls rules between the Application server and File server.

Hi,
Based on my research, firewall ports required for SMB file sharing are port 445 and 139.
More information for you:
SMB: File and printer sharing ports should be open

Windows file share, finder issues

Hello-
At my work we have a Windows 2008 R2 file share that our mac computers connect to. all of the mac computers have snow leopard running on them. A few times a week finder either stops responding and crashes, or cannot connect to the file share. Once the machine is restarted, it works fine for a little while. This seems to be a never ending cycle. Is there anything I can do to make the performance better on a Mac connecting to a windows file share?
Thanks
Ryan

Hi,
the problem was the passwort. Using "?, %" or other special characters interpreted in a URL may not be used.
After changing password to a alphanumeric everything works just fine.

Windows File Share configuration from AIX Portal

Hi,
we want to connect a Windows file share as KM Repository to a portal running on AIX.
The network path is configured using jCIFS and user (DOMAIN.NET\USERNAME) is entered with password. The corresponding path is also entered in the FS Repository manager using ACLSecurity manager. A Windows System is not configured .
In the repository managers monitoring view our new repository manager shows a green button. In the KM however, it is not visible. The portal log shows the following error:
"Cannot retrieve credentials from URL for file 'DOMAIN.NET; USERNAME/' "
We tried to connect the file share with the same user/password. This worked fine.
Is there something else to configure ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Marcus

Issue with G4 connecting to a Windows File Share

We have a single MAC G4 that our marketing department uses for graphic development. when we first setup the PC we were able to connect to our Windows shares on the network. For better than a year now we have had intermittent problems with connecting to our Windows file share. It would drop the TCP connection to the file share, you would need to go back a re-authenicate to the share. Two weeks ago the problem worsened, we can't connect the to Windows files share at all now. I have tried different users accounts including my own which has domain admin authority. However I have a samba file share and a snap server running on the network and I am able to connect to these machines with no issues. I suspect a configuration problem, but not sure where to look next.
The MAC is running the following OS version and Kernel
OS 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Darwin 7.9.0
Any guidance would be appreciated

I just figured it out myself.

Unable to Connect to Windows File Shares

Steps I take to attempt to connect to a Windows File Share within the office. Being relatively new to the Mac, I am curious on why I am not able to connect to Windows File Shares.
1. Command-K
2. Server Address: smb://[server-hostname]/[sharename]
3. Click Connect
4. Connecting To Server..... (takes a short amount of time)
5. SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
- I then enter the domain, username and password
6. Click OK
7. Error: Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
What gives? I have confirmed and validated server hostname, sharename, appropriate persmissions for windows account, etc. I have tried IP Address instead of hostname, same outcome.
Any Ideas?

Hi Arus, not really a Windows® expert, but I think I've seen were putting the Domain name in there fixed it, but I can't find the exact way to do it, this is the closest I could find...
"If I try to connect to smb://domain, that's when I can authenticate. If I try smb://machine/share, I still get the error -43."

File Share for OEL 6.4 VM on Azure

We try to create a File Share for our application servers running OEL6.4 on Azure. I ran into problem mounting the File Share directory, and was told File Share doesn't OEL6.4. Can you confirm if this is true? If not, can you help me to
mount a share file directory onto OEL VM?
If File Share doesn't work on OEL 6.4, how can we create NFS for Linux VM on Azure?
Thanks,
Lam

Nice to see a proper redundant storage fabric layer for once on OTN. ;-)
We've been in a similar position using multipath with a custom storage layer (Infiniband based). Like you we hunted for a best-match config - and then stress tested the fabric layer using fio (Flexible I/O Tester). And don't forget to pull some fibre cables, or shutdown/powerdown one of the fibre channel switches, while fio tests are running.

Auditing file share on windows 2008 R2

I think I may need a little handholding here. I have been working with our new Windows 2008 R2 file server. I am having a problem doing some simple file level auditing.
I turned on Audit Object Access in the local policy. The GPO that applies to this server does not have it set and I only really need it enabled on this server. I have it auditing success and Failure.
After I did that I got deluged with Event ID: 5145. I went to each folder and made sure that I had auditing turned off for each folder and file. I did that to see if it would quite down the logs a little. It did not. I am currently getting about 1500 events of 5145 every second. They all say “ A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access”
Most of the details look like this:

Windows file association for RDF file type to open in Reports Builder 11g

Does anyone know how to create a Windows file assocaition to open a reports RDF binary file in Reports Builder 11g? We're running FMW 11.1.2 64bit on Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks

Hi InoL
Thanks for your reply.
Would this work with Reports 11g? rwbuilder.exe seems to require being called via rwbuilder.bat in 11g.
Kind Regards

Error while adding file share for File Server role

I'm getting this error when trying to add a file share on a Server 2012 R2 failover cluster:
"Unable to retrieve all data needed to run the wizard. Error details: Cannot retrieve information from server. Error occurred during enumeration of SMB shares: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that
the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote comptuers within the same
local subnet."
Despite the message, I can still create the share and it seems to work, but I'm concerned there may be an issue and I'd like to resolve it before putting the service into production. TIA!

Hi,
Your error often caused by the WinRM can’t communication to the others node, please confirm all the node “Windows Remote Management” service is running or try to disable your
firewall and AV soft then monitor it again.

Load Balancing Windows File Share? Doable ??

So I have a storage design question. The goal of this question is to find out how to best design a high availability storage solution without a single point of failure (SPF).
We need a storage location that needs to be accessed via an smb share in format of \\servername\sharename. We need to have an extremely high available solution as this share will be used to host remote IIS files and other important files being used by multiple
web servers. The most ideal solution is if there is a way to load balance an SMB fileshare so that it can be accessed by \\loadbalanced_name\sharename.
I am not sure if such technology exists for Windows 2008, Windows Storage Server, or with using 3rd party load balancing / file server / iscsi solution.
The current setup of our high available fileshare is with using Windows Clustering with 2 file servers attached to a singled Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Although we never really have an issue with this design, we would like to entirely eliminate the single
point of failure of the DAS.
So, any ideas / Input from anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Ed

hmm after thinking about this a little bit more, I guess I can use DFS.
However, I used to run a corporate file server for mid size company of 400 people using windows 2003 and I hated the replication to the guts. It doesn't seem to work well for large volumes...
FRS had issues, especially with large volumes. DFS-R solves that.
More importantly, DFS and DFS-R can be used independently, so if you
can't figure out how to get DFS-R working for you, you can always look
into your own replication scheme and just use DFS to get clients to the
appropriate server.

Give Windows file share a web address

Just setup a shortcut with the following.
file://[pcname]/[unc path]

Just want to provide some background. We'd like to give a file share an internal web address (i.e. www.newfileshare.com) to be accessible from IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
The share is on a Windows 2008 R2 server currently. All the workstations and servers are in a AD environment. I do not want to use a URI scheme. The web address will be only be for internal purposes only.
Thank you guys in advance.

Browsing Windows File Shares not working

I'm trying to integrate Macs into our Windows and Linux Network. After finally getting a stable Active Directory binding (Article TS3248 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3248?viewlocale=en_US) the remaining challenge is for our users to browse for Windows (Samba) servers. That is, visible in "Networking" or the Side Panel under "SHARED".
At the moment the users are able to connect to all file shares by using "Connect to Server ..." and typing "smb://host/share" so we know that Kerberos is working well (AD Integration). The variation "smb://someuser@host/share" and providing a password also works. When the file share is mounted it is displayed under "Shared"
Searching on the net led me to check /private/var/log/samba/log.nmbd file. Every five minutes the following error message is logged:
\[2011/03/16 13:04:04, 0, pid=113\] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.5/samba/source/libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(793)
Packet send failed to <WINS server IP>(138) ERRNO=No route to host
This doesn't make sense since this host is pingable and is on the same subnet (i.e. no route). An additional observation is that Windows XP machines that are NOT bound to the domain are browsable. The problem applies both to Windows Server 2008 as well as CentOS 5.5 servers running Samba.
Google search has turned up nothing. Based upon my experience with other Samba implementations, this may be a bug in OS X. Anyone out there having the same problem or a resolution?

I have a similar problem, and have seen something somewhere about a difference in AD in windows 2003 server and Windows 2008 server based networks. It also seem to be related to the lack of wins in modern Windows 2008 R2 functional level domains. I haven't been able to rule this out yet, but the problem for me is similar. MAC client running 10.6.x cannot see Windows computers under shared unless it's already mounted. I haven't been able to test this with OS X 10.7 yet.

How-to hide the portal file shares on Windows

Hi,
Does anybody know how to hide the default file shares created by SAP NW 04 in windows?
In other words: what I'm trying to accomplish is renaming the sapmnt share and saploc share (both on the E:\usr\sap\ folder) to sapmnt$ and saploc$.
I know how to do the Windows part, but where and how do I configure the SAP Web AS part?
Regards,
Steven Dijkman

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the feedback. However, this still does not fully work.
I tried hiding the folder but it in fact only hides the folder, not the share itself. I'm trying to do the opposite, hiding the share (making it an administrative one) whilst not hiding the folder. With the folder hidden, the startup framework (NW 04 EP6 SP12) does not work.
By the way: checking / tightening access is not an option: security architects dictate what needs to happen here and unless I have VERY good reasons I should comply to what they say: change saploc to saploc$ and change sapmnt to sapmnt$.
If anybody has anymore thoughts, I'd be very interested.
Cheers,
Steven Dijkman

File Shares for Copier/Scanner

Hello All,
I'm running Novell Netware 6.5 - SP8 and I'm trying to setup a copier/scanner to work. Here's the thing, if I setup a File Share on one of my Windows Server, then I can connect it to the copier for my users to scan to. What I'd like to do is something similar using my Netware Server instead (because I'd like my users to scan to their home directories).
On the copier, I setup the user to scan to "\\192.168.100.3\JeffScans" - where "JeffScans" is the file share name that I've setup in Windows - I'd like to do this via Netware.
Any help or guidance would be helpful - thanks in advance!!

Does the scanner support NCP Shares? If not, you need to configure and
load CIFS to make the NW server look like a Windows one.
