IMac on Windows Server

Hello i was wondering if anyone could help me.
we had 10 iMacs running on out windows server and we had a problem in which our who active directory was erased, user accounts and so on.
when we sorted that problem on the only way people could be logged onto the windows machines again was to add it to workgroup domain and then change it back to the companies domain.
we were then told there was a problem with people logging on the imacs, when looking in directory utilities is says that the server is not responding but a odd couple of kids seem to be able to still get on using there windows user accounts.
when formating a iMac to see if this would solve the problem i get an error whenever i try to connect it to the domain, im guessing its a problem with the server but now been familiar with iMacs i dont know were to start.

It may be if you run Windows on your computer.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

Hi guys,
I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Simi

You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac. You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011.
The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

Network imac os x7 and windows server via firewire

Hi Everyone
I am trying to speed up the connection/file transfer between an iMac (2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X 10.7.4) and a Windows Home Server machine.
I am trying to use Aperture with a very large photo collection (approx. 120,000). Since the iMac has insufficient internal storage I am using a Windows Server machine with 8TB of storage. Transfer is currently via Ethernet and is extraordinarily slow - read unusable. Also, any request to the server results in a reconnection initiated at the mac end.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Doc

I fear the answer may be more complex than you'd hoped.
On paper, gigabit ethernet (I assume you're using gigabit ethernet, yes?) runs at 1000mbps.
FireWire 800 (I assume you have FireWire 800 ports on the Windows machine, yes?) runs at 800mbps.
That would imply that gigabit ethernet should be faster. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Without getting into too much technicality, FireWire is a more efficient connection (typically point-to-point) than ethernet (typically switched), but you also have to consider protocol overheads (e.g. TCP/IP and SMB).
If the disks were in a FireWire 800 enclosure attached directly to the Mac I think there'd be no contest - a dedicated 800mbps link vs a shared 1gbps link + protocol overheads). However, you're proposing running SMB and TCP/IP over the FireWire link, which eliminates much of the advantage (or, at least, levels the playing field).
At the end of the day, I might expect the FireWire to go faster, but probably not by much. You might need to look at other areas of contention such as the link speeds, broadcast traffic, network load, etc.

Why My IMAC OS X 10.6.8 Become Slow On The Network Between Window Server 2008

Dear Sir,
I am using IMAC 10.6.8, processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and now my lovely IMAC become slow on the network between window server 2008 and my IMAC.
Kindly advise for the above said issue how can I fix it. I already disable in my IMAC IPV6 and I am connect with airport not ethernet cable and my WIFI is LINKSYS modem and all other windows PC's are connected with the Gigabyte switch.
Awaiting your soonest reply.

IMacs lose connection to windows server

We have recently moved over to macs in the office, so previously we had 3 PC's all connected to a WD Sentinel server where we access large files between us rather than keeping information on the computer.
We have slowly been moving over to iMacs but the problem is these lose connection to the server, so for example if we are transferring large image files, they will just stop, or if accessing catelogs on Lightroom that are stored on the server, we have to 'find missing folders'. This can happen every hour. The connection is also overall slower (for example loading previews/thumbnails) compared to the PC's, which arent even spec'd as high as the iMacs. It also has nothing to do with it going to sleep, it can happen in the middle of working.
All iMacs are connected via ethernet as the PC's were. The WD is meant to be compatible with macs and pc's, which is why we bought it.
Ideally I want to avoid having to splash out money on a Time Capsule and connect them all via thunderbolt, but wanted to check if this is my only option?

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.

IMacs running slow off Windows Server 2008

Currently the Creative Director and I are the only ones at our company working on Macs. We both are running OSX 10.6.8 on iMacs and we are having major slow loading time in Finder and very, very slow loading time working with Adobe files (PSDs/AIs/INDDs).
The company I work for has been bought out by another company and they had their tech guys come in to install a server.. I have recently found out that it is a Windows Server 2008. We were told to transfer our files to this server and ever since have been having problems. I have tried to communicate with some of the techs and they either complain about Macs or are not that familiar with Macs. They don't have any other designers at their company, so I am not sure how to get them to understand the issue.
I have done some research and found others with similar problems, but I am not really finding a solution or a discussion that is very recent. I think this is a problem that has been around for awhile, but we are new to it. The problem seems to be with the SMB sharing.
We would be grateful if anyone had any insight or infomation regarding working off a Windows Server 2008 from a Mac or whether we should recommend us working off a Mac Server which is backed up to the main server.
Thanks!
Aa

Appreciate it Ed.
I let our boss know about Extreme ZIP and forwarded the link to our IT team. Although we haven't gotten a response back yet, I am thinking that a mac server would be a cheaper purchase overall since it wouldn't be a reoccuring monthly charge.
If we were to convert one an extra Mac Pros to a Lion Server, is it possible to have that backed up or connected to the Windows Server 2008? Or would we need to do that the Mac Pro. Not sure how to word this, my lack of experience in servers shines through here.
Really trying to save us from switching to PCs, thinking if we can convert the Mac Pro to a Lion Server it would be our least expenseive route.
Thanks again,
Aaron

Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing

Hi folks,
I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with my wife's MacBook. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.
The printer sharing works, our other laptop which is Win7 can use it normally, but setting up the share on a Mac is a whole new kettle of fish.
I couldn't get it to connect via IPP, Mac keeps insisting on port 631 even though IPP is running on port 80 here. I have no idea what to put into the address field, if I copy/paste the URL the Mac doesn't recognise it. If I just put in the server name it's happy but insists on connecting to port 631.
Next came LPD which seems to work, Mac connects to the server and picks up the printer. Which brings me to the next problem. If I use standard generic postscript driver then nothing happens, printer gets switched on on the server and stops. An event log entry reports an LPD error:
"The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service received commands in an invalid format from 192.168.2.106 and refused the print job. This can occur if the Line Printer Remote (LPR) client is incompatible with the Windows LPD service and Request for Comments (RFC) 1179. Try printing using a different LPR client."
The printer is a Canon Pixma iP5200R. If I switch the printer options from generic postscript to a Canon printer it will print but it only uses about 60% of the space, so everything is shrunk on the page. It does print the full content of the page, just makes everything smaller. I managed to get this far by selecting one of the BJC (Bubblejet) models from the drop-down list.
I've installed Canon's driver for iP5200 from their site but it's not available anywhere on the Mac. How do I tell the Mac to use a different driver?
I feel I'm getting close to fixing this, but now the problem is in Macland and I'm not too familiar with it.
Anyone got any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm going to apologize first because I don't have a real solution and my post will sound negative, but my experience may give some insight.
My experience is that Apple didn't get Windows printing "done right" until 10.5. Prior to that, I could never print to a Canon S800 printer attached to a Vista Ultimate machine. With the printer attached to a XP machine, I could print, but it would often fail. (Just no output and OSX saying printer was offline.) This was with a G3 B&W with 10.3 and a iMac with 10.4. And like you, I did try the IPP and LPD settings but just never got a usable setup.
Then I got a Macbook Pro with 10.5. Printing worked fine straight out of the box to the same S800 printer on Vista. Mac Mini with 10.5 worked also. Upgraded both to 10.6 and printing still works. Even a clean reload of 10.6 on the Macbook, Windows printing is fine. Also to a Epson R280 attached to the same Vista machine.
Windows 2008, having more in common with Vista and Win7, I'd guess that you may be having similar issues to me. I don't know of any fix, other than 10.5. If you have a friend with a newer Mac, then you can test it. (Otherwise, if you can upgrade your Mac to 10.5 or 10.6. But testing with a friend's Mac would save the cost of buying an OSX upgrade if it didn't work.)
Like I said, no real solution, other than possibly upgrading to 10.5/10.6. So maybe just a pointer to a different line of thinking. Good luck!

Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing over vlan

Hi folks,
I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with 4 new macs. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.

The printer is a Brother hl-6050D/DN series.

So yeah...
I'm totally stumped now.
I feel like I've tried every method imaginable, but still no luck.
Printing from OSX 10.6.8 works just FINE.
On the server side, I'm running Windows Server 2008... there's only a local admin and a local user account.
Clients running OSX Lion 10.7.2 -- All updated.
Printer is an HP LaserJet P4010-4510 series.
Workstation is an iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2009
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Please help!!!

LPD print service is not enabled by default in Server 2008. It can be enabled via the Print Serveer role, but I am remote and cannot confirm the exact setting.
As for SMB, the error log is showing;
Failed to connect to "smb://<username>:<password>@utlab-prsrv-02/"
So it would suggest that there is still an issue with the account detail you are using as you show you have tried this syntax at one stage. If you want to continue to create the queue using SMB rather than LPD then I recommend using the CUPS web page (http://127.0.01:631) to create the queue. This will allow you to enter the syntax exactly as the error message shows. From previous testing I found it was okay to just use the account name rather than domain/account name on a domain bound server.

Printing problems on Windows server 2003

Hi All,
I was printing perfectly on my shared printer (HP Laserjet 1000) on my Windows server 2003 with a domain.
Since this week I can't print anymore. I keeps failing with failed authentification. Nothing changed on my server or iMac except the latest security patches on the iMac.
The event log shows up user _lp that is trying to access the printer... not the user that I'm using...
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer on the iMac without success.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this ?
Thanks,
Pascal

I'm having the same problem now with printers on Windows 2000 systems. The print queue (which worked forever on 10.4 and initially on 10.5) now gets access denied from the SMB server. The "add authentication" thread doesn't fix it as the latest update seems to send user ID "_lp" to the SMB server rather than the user credentials set up in CUPS.
I tried "smb://user:password@server/printer" and it still doesn't work.
Again, it's worked for a long while and just recently broke due to Leopard or an update.

Problems with DMProxy (Window Server)

Hi,
I just searched the Web the last days but I don't find any common article or solution to my problem. Since about I think four Weeks my iMac began to fade out the screen I become blue (10.6.8) or black (10.9.1) and I thought it will be because of the temperature (PowerSupply 80 degree, GPUDie 70 degree and CPU 55 degree, but this was since ever if some processes like eyeTV, Chrome, Safari, iTunes, iPhoto running at the same time), or because of an hardware fault of the monitor. But for now I think it is not.
I looked at the konsole and it shows up that every time the screen gets dark for one, two up to ten seconds,the windows server is starting new. But I don't know why.

I thought it could be the color profile but as I changed it. I had no success the randomize anoying black screen sometimes with three to six times repeating will arise serval times an hour.
So, I changes the OS from good runing 10.6.8 to the experimental 10.9.1 Mavericks (iOS sh.t with no spces etc.) and I installed a 500 GB SSD from samsung to reduce the heat (which brought nothing, because the CPU, GPU and the PowerSupply are the heating reason) but with no effect to the temperature and the turning black of the screen.
the screen also turns black or get a respawn if I turn on the internal fans to "high" so that the upper components cool down to about 40, 45 and 50 degrees. So, it has nothing to do with the temperature. If I have the time I will install windows 7 the next days with bootcamp to determine that it is wether an hardware or an software error/problem. If the iMac don't show the problem on windows it defently ist a software/OS problem.
At that time I am at the end of my knowledge concering the iMac and Apple OS and I hope the somebody could help me. Sorry for my rusty english,
best regards,

OS X 10.5.6 versus Windows Server 2000 SFM

We have recently deployed a number of Macintosh (Mac Pros and iMacs) running OS X 10.5.6. When copying a directory to a Windows Server 2000 running Services for Macintosh, the directory permission are not duplicated and, more problematically, cannot be modified on the server from the Mac.
This was not a problem with the Macintoshes running OS X 10.4. Did something change between versions? Anyone know a solution?
Note: we are replacing the Windows server with an XServe, but I'm looking for a quick fix before that migration.

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) iMac to PC server with fixed IP

I have setup my first imac and as part of this process downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for macs so that I can log onto my server at work. Problem is when I attempt to connect to my remote pc the following message appears "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator"

So, what if those don't help? I've had "Always connect, even if authentication fails" selected for quite a while. It was working fine. Yesterday I installed Office 2011 (and immediately installed SP1), and now it broke my ability to connect to a Windows Server 2008 VM that definitely worked yesterday before the Office upgrade.
Anybody have a solution for this? It appears to be a bug in RDC 2.10. Thanks, Microsoft. Off to find a working RDP client for the Mac…

Mac in Windows server environment with SMB shares

Hello Apple Support Community,
This is my first post here, so take it easy on me.
Here is a brief background before I explain the problem. I'm currently in an environment that has about 35 various Mac computers (Mac Pros, iMacs, Mac Book Pros, etc) from many different generations, but all running 10.8.2 or newer. The enviornment also has several Dell Servers running various OS versions (2003 Std, 2008 Std, and one 2012 Storage Server). Active Directory is currently in place and healthy. The 2012 Storage Server is where we are hosting all of the file shares. Users are connecting to these shares via smb.
We are experincing two problems that may or may not be related.
Problem #1
Occasionally (I have yet to find consistency), when we drag and drop a folder from one location to the other (on the same server, in the same share, and usually source and destination reside in the same parent folder) or if we rename a folder, we'll be prompt for credentials with the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
Since our local username and password are different then the Active Directory username and password used to connect to the share, I have observed that usually typing in the local username and password allows this prompt to go away. Any other username or password does not work. However, once the prompt goes away, the folder never actually moves on the share or is renamed. This prompt for a password will repeat over and over until you go away, do something else in a different folder, then come back after a while, then it won't prompt you for a password for the same move or rename operation.
I thought this might be related to permissions at first as we just migrated the data from an old Mac Server to this new 2012 Storage Server, but I have since replicated the scenario with a test share and a series of test subfolders that I just created (no files were involved in the test, just folders). I have also opened permissions to everyone for both the share and the folder structure for this test.
Problem #2
Similar to the scenario above, but rather than moving or renaming a folder or file, when we attempt to delete a folder it will occasionally pretend to delete, then appear back in the share as a folder that no one has permissions to. If you navigate away for a while and then return, the folder has actually been removed.
If anyone has any insight as to why we might be experiencing any of this behavior or direction for how to troubleshoot or solve this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello?
Anyone?
Bueller...Bueller....Bueller
It's been a couple of weeks now and no one has any input to help me? Is there something I can provide to get some additional help?
I've done some research over the past couple of weeks and ran into an article (sorry, I have misplaced the source) that indicated adding the Mac to the windows domain would help with Problem #1 by providing single sign-on functionality. I bound all of the macs in the network to the domain and changed all of the user profiles from local to domain. They are now logging in with their domian credentials. For the most part, this appears to have solved the problem. I will find out more tomorrow as there appears to still be one user experiencing the same behavior even after adding his Mac to the domain and having him log in with his domain account and credentials.
This is, however, how the problem started in the first place. It began with just this one user reporting the problem, then eventually everyone was having the problem. I'm no longer feeling confident that this has actually solved the problem.
I've implemented ExtremeZ-IP on the storage server and have redirected the users to using AFP again. This appears to have solved Problem #2.
We now have two additional problems showing up on the network.
Problem #3
Occasionally (again, having a hard time finding any consistency), after opening a file and working on it for a while, we are being presented with an error that a file cannot be written to. Once the error shows up, the problem is persistent. You can save the file as a different name in the same location, and it will take without error. You just can't save the file with the same name. It's as if the file is locked. If I reboot the windows server at the end of the day, the file that was locked no longer has a problem being written to.
We also see this problem with moving/renaming folders on occasion.
Problem #4
Users are reporting that files in a folder sometimes do not appear (the folder appears as blank), but appear fine for others.
I have seen this issue when users connect with different protocols (one with smb and the other with afp - the smb connected user usually doesn't see the file) but in the process of changing profiles from domain to local, I have switched all users to AFP.
I could really use some help with this situation. Anything this community has to offer, suggest, or otherwise help me find resolution would be extremely appreciated.

Macs will not show up on DNS Windows Server 2008 R2

In our office, we have a Windows Server Infrastructure with several Macs (Imacs, mac pros, macbook airs etc).
Active Directory and DNS is running off a Windows Server 2008 R2 Server, with DHCP on a Cisco Router.
DHCP is configured to direct all DNS entries to the Windows DNS Server.
The problem that I'm having is that, while all windows machines show up on the Windows DNS Server, None of the Macs are registered. Macs are able to utilize the DNS Server correctly, but will not register on the DNS Listings.
Because I cannot access or ping Macs via their hostname, I cannot tell our third party backup software to point to a particular machine. Our workstations are all DHCP enabled, and since assigning a static ip to all the Macs here is not an option, I need to get this working, so that I can get our macs backing up.
I've followed a few similar articles, but they appear to be for older 2003 servers, which the 2008 R2 servers do not have those options. I do not want to join the Macs onto the windows domain, I merely want to get them registered on our DNS server.
The mac operating systems vary between Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

I'm pretty sure that the DNS registration stuff is part of the Active Directory plug-in on OS X. I'd recommend you give it a try.
GPOs are not enforced on the Macs if they're bound to Active Directory, _unless_ you've extended the Active Directory schema (which is a lot of work). The main benefits to joining Macs to AD ar:
* Centralized password management and policies (as you've defined in AD).
* Single sign-on to various kerberized resources (i.e. Windows share points and internal web pages if you're using IIS and you use Kerberos to secure them, rather than NTLM).
Here's an Apple white paper which may help. I would recommend you read this carefully and then decide whether or not you want to bind the Macs to AD. I'd also recommend you test with a bound Mac to see if resolves this "host name in DNS" issue... I suspect it will.
