Issue accessing Shares via alias

Hi We have a two node file share cluster running windows 2012 r2 standard.
we have configured two aliases in DNS(Cname) to access the clustered shares. the aliases point to the host record for the cluster resource (fileserver)
i have added the aliases in the cluster parameters using :
Get-ClusterResource <resource name>|Set-ClusterParameters Aliases "Alias1,Alias2"
Below is the issue description:
Fileshares can be opened via alias 1 from all computers, irrespective of the OS.
Fileshares can be opened via Alias 2 only from windows 7 , windows 2008, windows 2008R2 and windows 2012 servers. we get an error while trying to open the shares from windows 2003 server:
"\\Sharename is not reachable . you might not have the permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Logon Failure: the target account name is incorrect."
please note: the "Alias2" which we are using was a computer added to domain earlier, which is shutdown now as the shares are migrated to the new server. we have removed its A record from DNS and replaced with Cname of the same name, but the
computer object is still present in the AD".
please help on this as we are stuck with this issue.
thanks in advance.

Hi Richik Mishra,
As far as i know, this simlar issue occured on 2012 based cluster but has fixed in 2012R2, if the legacy computer object are useless please try to delete it then try again.
The simlar issue hotfix description:
Can't access a resource that is hosted on a Windows Server 2012-based failover cluster

Issue accessing VMs via RDweb

Hi All,
I have followed the article written below by Keith, and have set up a virtual network on Azure with one machine hosting AD & DNS, and the other configured for RDP session virtualisation (so i can publish an app for multi user access)
http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2013/09/04/step-by-step-remote-desktop-services-on-windows-azure-a-cost-effective-alternative-to-desktop-as-a-service-part-2.aspx
i have already sorted the Microsoft licensing and published the app required, however i have encountered an issue with either the DNS or RD Gateway - the issue is that when i type the address of the RDP machine in an internet browser (http://machinename.domain/RDweb)
it times out and cannot find the machine to even get to the RDweb login screen, and a 'could not connect' is displayed in the browser.
If i type the azure address of the machine in the browser (https://machinename.cloudapp.net) then i can get to the RDweb screen OK. I have tried checking the DNS settings and the AD machine is OK (internal address of 10.0.0.4), however it times out when looking
for the RDP machine (internal address of 10.0.0.5). I cannot connect by the external IP address of the VM either.
Would someone possibly be able to point me to some information on how i can configure/check the DNS or RD gateway so that the RDP machine is able to be found? (sorry i am not really a gun at DNS related material) - I have tested and if i try to access the
RDP machine via the RDweb address in IE internally from one of the machines, it does work and the RDweb login screen appears, just not from an external source.
Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.
thank you,
Michael.

Hi Susie
When I refer to 'external sources', I mean any other machine other than the Azure VM that is hosting the applications.
For example, while logged inside the Azure VM that is hosting the applications, I can:
Browse to the 'RD Web Access' URL
Log in to the RD Web page
Successfully launch the published apps
Here is a video of me doing the above while logged onto the Azure VM: http://screencast.com/t/PxZTcXmEl
However, if i attempt to do the above steps on any other PC, we can:
Browse to the 'RD Web Access' URL
Log in to the RD Web page
BUT, when I attempt to launch the application, I get the error "Remote Desktop can’t connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons..........."
(screenshot)
Here is a video of me doing the above on my local machine: http://screencast.com/t/zjKlPcok9Fn
Licenses
In relation to our licensing, here is a video of our current 'RD Licensing' setup:

Issues Accessing VPN via Time Capsule

My work has a VPN (via Palo Alto's Global Protect) set-up to allow for remote desktop connections. For some future projects, it is really important that I get this working. However, I am running into an issue that is directly related to my Apple Time Capsule (an older "flat" model, part number MC343AM/A, running the latest firmware, v7.6.4).
Basically, I can access the VPN and remote desktop no problem if I connect my computer directly to the modem (or if I tether my computer to my phone). However, if I connect the laptop to the router, then the VPN connects and is stable (as verified by my work's IT department), but I lose all other internet connectivity, and am unable to actually connect to the remote desktop. This occurs if I use WiFi or connect through ethernet, and I've verified that it happens on two different computers (an iMac, and a MacBook Pro).
I'm wondering if it is because I use a MAC address filter to assign static IP addresses to the devices on my network? Are there any other settings I should change on the Time Capsule to allow for the VPN passthrough? Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc), I was hoping someone might have run into a similar issue and would have some advice!
Any tips would be extremely appreciated.
Best,
Matt

Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc),
We can fix that.. export your configuration.. The TC must be open in edit area for this option to work. So at least you don't need to lose settings.
7.6.4 has some real issues with ports.. That it establishes the vpn ok is good but it is clearly not able to pass some of the ports that are required. Are you able to ping or copy files at all over the tunnel?? it might be caused by a number of things. But you should realise that once the tunnel is open the computer is working on a different subnet.. and its own internal firewall can have issues.. or other issues at the other end.
I would have a try at taking the firmware back to 7.6.1 and even 7.5.2 can be a good test.. since it is before BTMM with iCloud where the TC would also complicate things with ipsec security.
To downgrade firmware simply hold down the option key while you click the version number.

Issue accessing share from other forest. No logon servers available to serve your request.

Hello, gents!
We have two AD forests and external 2-way trust between them. About month ago I was able to reach share on fileserver from localdomain.com to remotedomai.com without any issues. Now when I am trying to do it I have an error

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

Access to Samba\vfiler share via shortname

I wasn't sure which section to post this under as it occurs on different
operating Systems (Windows XP SP3, WIndows 7, Windows 8, Server 2003, Server
2008) and is random.
Basically, some of our end users experience problems accessing shares to a
vfiler for example with shortname \\example\share.
They can access this specific share via ip address or fqdn
\\example.domain.local\share. The
user can even access \\example and be
able to
view shares there but when clicking on the share it comes back with network
error or access denied.
This does not happen to all users at a time and on the same
workstations\servers and there are no specific times. On the end users
workstation DNS and wins is working, they have
no problems accessing other
vfilers or F&P Windows shares.
I tried all flushing DNS and wins cache, tried rebuilding CSC (Offline files)
to no avail. We don't have this enabled in our environment in any case
but
gave it a try.
One way I got it working via shortname is by adding a new security group to
the security permissions on the share. The group only had my account as a
member
and exsiting groups remained. After this the end user was able to map
via shortname.
I've tried many things and just can't figure this out or where to look. My
team doesn't manage the vfilers or samba shares so
can't look at the logs or
anything.
Another scenarion I have is for a Samba share, very similar situation but
this time its accessing the share on a Windows 2008 R2 server.
Basically
similar symptoms, can't access via shortname, get 'Network Error', tried several
things, even Windows Network Diagnostic
where it states that "The remote
device or resource won't accept the connection', "The device or resource (samba)
is not setup to accept connection
on port "The File and printer sharing
(SMB)". Port 139 is open, can access other shares on different storage devices
successfully.
What's weird is that after some time, An hour, 2 or 3 later functionality
returns without any changes. Obviously restarting the server resolved this
quicker.
There are no scheduled tasks or tasks running in the background,
Windows firewall is disabled, disabled AV etc.
I managed to get a log from this Samba device but not sure if its
related or not.
[root@samba] [09:30:52] /var/log/samba
# tail /var/adm/messages
Apr

Apr 3
09:10:07 samba adbindd[24524]: [ID 323999 auth.error] ERROR samba.adbindd2 Task
exit with cims error: Error sending response: Broken pipe
Only other thing I can think of is that is may have something to do with the
device, folder redirection, cache or something of that sort.
I'm stuck, anyone have any ideas. I would like to know what else to try if
the issue re-coccurs.

Accessing Windows CIFS Shares via Nautilus

Hi,
I've recently installed and configured Solaris 11, am having problems accessing Windows CIFS shares via Nautilus.
I've installed both samba (needed for CUPS to print to printers connect to a windows pc) and smb/client. The smb/client and samba services are running. The smb/server service is not installed.
I can print to any printer on the windows PC I'm trying to access via Nautilus, so I know my username/password for accessing the pc are correct.
I can also manually mount any share on the windows PC via the cli (eg mount -F smfs -o user=elin //elink/users /mnt), and browse the files directly that way, except the file permisssions don't seem to align with any unix user. Again this just shows that the username/password combination is ok.
For Samba, I'm using the default smb.conf file as /etc/samba/samba.conf. Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in smb.conf.
On the Windows pc, in the security event viewer, I can see the auth request, however is failing with bad password (event ID 4776, error code 0x006a). In the default group policy object for networking, I've set to accept "LM & NT, NTLMv2 when neogiatated", as this allows legacy clients to connect. (Legacy meaning NT4, Win95, etc, and also has the benefit of allowing other OSes to connect as well).
I'm also able to access the WIndows PC CIFS shares from an Arch Linux based setup (running GNOME 3.2 w/ Nautilus 3.2), so I doubt it's the Windows side of things causing the problems. Additionally, when I was running Solaris 10u9 (just before upgrading to Sol11), I was able to access the shares via Nautilus as well.
So my question is:
1. Does Nautilus use Samba or the Oracle smb/client service to handle mount windows CIFS shares?
2. What log files or configuration files do I need to looking at to help with this error?
As a side question,
I've found that on a clean installation running the "Print Manager" accesses CUPS fine, but once you install a printer, it'll no longer connect to CUPS, unless run from the cli "sudo system-config-printers". So this is a permissions issue, where's the best place to fix/handle that one.

Replying to my own thread, as I have a possible but very-hackish solution.
To add some further details to my original post.
There are 4 PCs on the LAN.
1. Hellfire - OS = Solaris 11 11/11
2. Brimstone - OS = Arch Linux
3. Elink - OS = Win7 Pro x64 SP1
4. IsaacPC - OS = WinXP Home SP3
Attempting to connect to Elink from Hellfire, accessing CIFS shares via Nautulis fails. (Mounting shares via Nautulis fails, but works fine from CLI using 'mount' command which to my understanding uses the smb/client service to work). Elink also hosts all the printers on the LAN, a HP LJ1200 and an Epson Fax/Printer/Scanner.
Helfire does attempt to authenticate, as listed in the event logs on the Win7 PC (elink), but is returning bad password when using Nautulis. (but printing from hellfire to either printer on elink works fine, as does mounting CIFS shares using 'mount').
Booting the live CD of Solaris 11, also exhibits the same non-working behaviour when attempting to mount CIFS shares in Nautulis.
Attempting to access CIFS shares on elink from Brimstone (via Nautulis 3.2 within GNOME 3.2), or from IsaacPC works fine.
Hellfire configuration.
Samba is installed, but NOT running (samba is needed for accessing the printers on elink, as CUPS needs smbspool which is part of the samba package), and the native smb/client service is also running.
smb.conf is a direct copy of the default *.conf file, except the WORKGROUP is set to 'WORKGORUP'. There is a symlink to smb.conf in /etc/sfw/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf
Onto the hackish-fix.
I've noticed that there are 2 copies of libsmbclient.so installed on the system, one in /usr/sfw/lib (part of the "libsmbclient" package) and another in /usr/lib/samba (part of the "samba" package).
"libsmbclient" appears to be based on samba 3.5.8 codebase, and is linked to the gvfsd-smb daemon (this is the software that Nautulis uses to talk SMB to access CIFS shares).
"samba" is based on the samba 3.5.10 codebase, and it's installation has nothing to do with GNOME or Nautulis in any manner.
Using any of the samba included tools to test SMB/CIFS functions, work with 1 minor exception (which I'll list below). eg, using smbclient I can list all shares on any PC on the LAN, etc.
So as a hunch, I renamed the libsmbclient.so.0 in /usr/sfw/lib, and symlinked /usr/sfw/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 -> /usr/lib/samba/libsmbclient.so.0 (so that gvfsd-smb is linked against the slightly newer version of the libsmbclient.so as included in the samba package located in /usr/lib/samba).
I rebooted Hellfire, and now I'm able to access CIFS shares via Nautulis, provided that some form of authentication is needed (that is a username and password is needed - guest access and blanks passwords don't work - but these IMO should be disabled immediately as part of a baseline security package in regards to Windows - so no harm there).
Now to the minor exception I noted earlier. When using smbclient to actually connect and transfer files, I get:
ld.so.1: smbclient: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5: symbol tgetent: referenced symbol not found
As far as I know, tgetent is part of libtermcap.so, so I guess when building smbclient or libreadline.so, the link reference to termcap was left out? (or something like that). Anyway, that's another issue...

How to use jcifs to access SMB share via webdynpro app ?

Hello All,
I am trying to access a protected intranet share via my webdynpro application. I have uses jcifs api to access the jcifs functions. However, I am stuck with running the application on webAS as it gives a runtime exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jcifs/smb/SmbFile .
I included the jcifs jar into a lib project and also deployed it onto the j2ee engine. Compilation works fine now, but it fails it runtime. Can someone please tell me what is the best way to use external libraries i.e jars in one's application so that it has no runtime errors on j2ee engine ?

Windows 2012 R2 - Access problems to NFS shares via IPv6

Hello,
we setup some NFS shares on HNAS storage box. The connection to this storage is only possible over IPv6 network.
My server with Windows 2012 R2 has the feature 'Client for NFS' installed and a 'showmount -e servername/or IPv6 address' works. I can see all shares when i try to open the storagebox in Windows Explorer with the command "\\servername" or "\\IPv6
address", too.
My problem is, when I try to mount the share via "Map network drive" or "mount \\servername\sharename *" I get Error 53 - Network path not found.
The share is configured that every server in the IPv6 subnet could access it and it works on Unix machines, but not on Windows.
It does not matter if i set some option parameters for the "mount" command like sec=sys or anon, everytime error 53.
I don't know, if the share needs special options for Windows. I hope somebody can help.
Kind regards

Lost ability to access iTunes via Airport after Force Quit - Network issue?

I am not sure if this is iTunes or networking related, but all other networking appears ok.
First my setup: multiple machines use iTunes library from an external HD connected to Airport Extreme, OS 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6.2.
I had been updating ratings in the iTunes library on the external drive connected to the AE and I was connected to the AE via Ethernet with Airport Card on PB turned off. I went to move the PB to another location so I turned Airport Card on and disconnected the Ethernet cable with the iTunes app and database open (dumb move apparently). The iTunes app appeared to lock up along with the PB, I was able to force quit thru it, and now I have an unresolved issue that has me stumped.
After numerous restarts of the PB, I can access the iTunes library on this AE server via the ethernet connection (as it was before attempting to move), and all of the ratings I had changed appear to have been saved. But I can not get iTunes to access the library via wireless (Airport Card).
I have restarted the AE and the connected drive both. I have restarted the PB numerous times. If I login on PB with ethernet connected there is no issue, if I login with airport active only there is an issue. All attempts to start iTunes and accessing the library wirelessly result in no success, sometimes can quit normally, sometimes must force quit. I can option start iTunes to access/create library on internal drive and also can create a new library on the external AE server. Also all other wireless networking activity regarding that server has no issue (access , copy, move files etc...)
I've tried removing iTunes pref files in user library and that didn't fix anything. The application itself works fine with the database when connected via ethernet or with internal library.
Anyone have any clues or suggestions on where I should turn to try and fix this? I can try to provide more details if needed, but I am stumped short of potentially aggravating the issue with re installs and other potential attempts that may not even be related to the issue.
Thanks

No disk maintenance recently. I have a week old backup of the entire iTunes folder along with the Library. I tried moving that backup Library (file only) into the AE server location but that did not change anything in terms of access.
I am on lunch break so no time to try your suggestions immediately, but will later this evening. I had thought about trying with a new user but hadn't gone there yet. I also have a G4 iMac ethernet connected all the time to the AE, but it has a AE card also typically not in use. I tried accessing with the iMac machine wirelessly, and although it progressed further (got the iTunes menu bar to display - never even got that on the PB), iTunes was not able to load which makes it almost seem not machine specific but rather something with the AE settings or the usb connected drive, but again all is fine there via ethernet.
Last night after original post, on the PB, I thought about a corrupted keychain type thing perhaps not allowing file access wirelessly, and I did have something to repair there, but it did not solve the issue.
Again, thanks for the suggestions and I'll try later tonight. Let me know if my additional info sheds any further light or if it would indicate that the suggestions were on the wrong track.

Trying to access share on Microsoft Server 2k HELP

Have been pulling my hair out for 2 days on this.
Any help would be appreciated.
I support a medium sized network here. About 60 stations. All XP or Win 7 machines in the office.
Our new design guy has a Mac book pro running 10.8.1. Brand new out of box.
I am trying to access a share on our server. The server I am trying to access the share on is running Microsoft Server 2000.
I have never had an issue mapping this share as a drive on a windows machine.
The Mac does see the server in its directory, but I can not access it.
I have tried the
smb://servername/sharename and smb://IP of server/sharename
Both of these methods give me a screen to enter credentials but then it shakes them off.
If I try to enter the share via the directory I get a message saying the connection failed.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. There is a lengthy discussion on it over at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145388?tstart=0 But still no fix yet. I have multiple Macs with this problem. I have been playing sneaker-net at work because of it. Upgrading my mission critical server past and above Win2000 server is not possible at this point. Not really happy to learn this after the ML upgrade. I wish I could go back to Lion then I would not have this problem.

Open Directory users can't access shares

Greetings all.
I apologize if this has been covered, but I couldn't find a search term that would locate the issue.
I have a 10.5.8 Server running on a MDD dual 1Ghz G4. I have it set up as an OD Master and providing time services, DNS, file sharing, portable home directories and calendaring for a small workgroup of 7 computers. At least that's the idea when it's functional.
It is behind a NAT and only serves the local network.
Until I have the user's data all transferred from local directories to portable home directories, I need to make it so that the users can access the shares.
In testing, when I try to access a share, I get an error message that the login failed because the username or password was invalid.
However, when I go look at the Password Service log, the user was authenticated and in good standing.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
John

maybe some additional information or rephrasing might help.
I have users and groups set up with ACLs on the shares that are set up with automount over NFS. The shares should also be available via appleshare, but not automount.
The users are configured now with Portable Home Directories.
The client computers are bound to the Open Directory Master on which the shares reside.
The server runs network time services and the client computers use that for their time service.
The server also runs DNS, and the client computers use that DNS.
Users can log into their Portable Home Directories ok.
Users can not log into shares via "connect to server" as it says that the username/password is invalid, even though the password service log says that the user was authenticated and in good standing.
Users can see the NFS automount shares at /Network/Servers/Library (where it is supposed to be), but they cannot write, even though the ACL gives the user account permission to do so.
For the permissions on the automount, I can't tell if the user is not being detected as the authenticated user, and is therefore being given "everyone" permissions, or if the ACL is not working on the mount and so the user is being given ""everyone" permissions.
Anyone have any idea how I can find out?
As to why a user can't log in via "connect to server" I'm clueless.
Thank you,
John

Access share on NSS4000 with error: A device attached to the system is not functioning

Hello,
We use Acronis True Image Server to backup 4 Windows 2008 Standard Server system
with 2 different domains, each containing a DC and a RDP-Server.
After Server reboot, backup will run only once a day.
The next day backup aborts, and while trying to access
the network share like \\ip-address\share, as configured in Acronis
I get the error message: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
On the other hand, I can ping the NSS4000 and access share by using the
network (netbios) name instead of the ip.
This will work only for one day, also.
Now, if I try to access the share on the NSS4000 again by ip,
I get the error code 0x80070043 The networkname can not be found.
Ping on ip and netbiosname works.
Share access from one server to an other is not affected and full funtional at all times.
On the first sight I thought, that there it might be with the authentication protocol NTLMV2.
So I configured the GP to send only NTLM Authentication only, without fixing the problem.
Fyi:
I use a NSS4000, Firmware version 1.16-3
The NSS4000 is not a member in neither domains.
I created a dummy user account on each domain, an created a local user on the NSS4000 related
to the dummy user account on each domain.
A good answer helping me to fix with this issue, would be great.

I am constantly seeing this error at multiple sites on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Standard and DataCenter.
I have counted over 50 different server I manage with services such as domain controller, hyper-v, file servers, exchange 2013, SQL 2008/2012, and print servers.
I have seen it happen on machine that have been in production for over 2 years and to machines that were just created last week.
It is happening on metal, hyper-v and esx vmware servers.
It is happening when the machine have updates waiting or no updates, or after updates have been applied and awaiting a restart.
It is happening on Dell PowerEdge server, HP Proliant servers and IBM servers.
It is happening on servers with Intel and AMD chip-sets.
It is happening on machines that are a part of a domain or in a workgroup.
It is happening on machines with AV of Bitdefendor, Trend Micro, Vipre, Microsoft Endpoint, and Symantec Endpoint.
Only a restart will fix it.
I have ran process monitor on several of the problem machines and I cannot find anything.
Since I have only started seeing this about 6 month ago it must be a Windows update causing it.
