Mac can't search on a Windows 2003 server

We are using a Mac G5 running OSX (10.3.9) and are not able to search for files on our Windows 2003 server. We also can't index the server from this Mac.
The Macs and the Window server are fully up to date.
We are using AFP for the network connection. (We need to use AFP to maintain the Apple File Links.)
Our Windows PC can search files on the server with no problems.
Please help! Any advice is appreciated!!

Same here. I'm seeing the same error.
When I look at my Windows share, I see that Pages is trying to create a folder with several subfolders: Data and Metadata, plus index.zip, preview-micro.jpg, preview-web.jpg, and preview.jpg files.
I don't think this is a Mavericks issue, although I upgraded to Mavericks and Pages 5.0 at the same time. I still have the older version of Pages. It works just fine.

Can't install ITunes on Windows 2003 server (WHS box)

Hi,
I can't install the latest ITunes because it incorrectly mistakes my Windows 2003 server as Windows XP. So after search I find that I can change the MSI files as according to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2154140.
This seems to work for all MSI file sin the ITunes etup exe except for this: AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi. If I change the MSI LaunchConditions it gives my error 2229 no matter what.
So I'm stuck. Should I call Apple next?

I can't help you with the error you get, but just to clarify while iTunes isn't "officially" supported for use on Server 2003, it does work. Sort of. iTunes 8 could be installed by editing the MSI, iTunes 9 however while this method is still required you'll run into a problem with iPodService.exe crashing, and iTunes refuses to finish the install until that service is up and running.
There are a few topics on here that detail what you can do to get around this problem. I believe currently the only tried and tested method is to use the iPodService.exe from iTunes 8, doing a swap trick when the iTunes 9 service crash occurs so that you can at least get the application to install.
I can't be bothered to go to the trouble though. I'm interested in seeing if Apple will silently stop with the BS and just fix the installer's version mismatch errors (easily done), and fix iPodService.exe. The reason why the service crashes, according to what I've read, is because it seemingly misidentifies Server 2003 and similar OS's as Vista or Windows 7, and then begins calling functions for those OSs from ntdll.dll - which causes the crash.
As for your error, presumably that is with Orca. All I could find relating to the errors is something about transforming the MSI and language translations. It could also be because of an older version of Orca. Perhaps try and re-download iTunes, and extract the MSI packages again. But you should only need to edit the LaunchCondition for AppleMobileDevice.msi - and you don't need to delete the table either, you can simply change the number in NTVersion from 501 to 502, save the package and it'll all work. It did for me when I first tried it anyway.

Installing mini sap on windows 2003 server..............

hi friends,i want to install mini sap on windows 2003 server, i have two cds for that but i m not getting how to install this,n also want to know,can it be installed on windows 2003 server or it can be installed on windows 2000 only.
please help me out
thanks

Hi,
Depending on which mini sap version you are trying to install. If you have 2 CD's, it means that it is an old version, for starting with 6.2 mini sap comes in 3 CD's (1 Kernel + 2 Database). As for the steps to install, just insert the kernel cd and an HTML file will pop up with the steps you need to do before, during and after the installation. As for installation issues please refer to:

Can't connect my Mac to my Windows 2003 server shares via SMB

Hello all
So my problem is I have my Powerbook running 10.4.7 with all the latest security updates and I cannot connect it to any shares on my Windows 2003 domain controller. Everything was working fine and I could connect to the server with no problem till about a month ago. However, I can still connect to the Windows 2000 domain controller with no problem. The error I get when trying to connect is "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". I did try clearing out my keychain, making sure all of the authentication policies on the server are correct (disabling the digitally sign commucations always policy), and I even went as far as editing a .conf file in /etc/ folder that allows for passwords to be sent without any encryption (I forget exactly what I changed but I can post that later when I get home from work) and none of this has worked. I unfortunately don't have another mac to test out connecting to the Windows 2003 server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to try and get this issue resolved?

TO share out as afp you need to have file and print services for macintosh installed on the 2k3 Server.
O n the main management console click on the shares icon on the left. then click the "link" create a share. The wizard will guide you through the process. i forget the order of progression but i beleive its the second or third part in the dialog it will have 2 check boxes, the top one checked by default, is to share it for windows/smb the second (lower box) is to share as AFP for mac check this box and change the share name if you like. then proceed through the rest of the wizard. Make sure you configure the security/sharing prefs for access.. we typically remove the everyone policy and add one for Authenitcated Users, and ofcourse Administrators.

OS 10.3.9 and Windows 2003 Server - Can't get to the network

My company just up graded from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003 server. I am lone Mac user. Yesterday, with Windows 2000, I had no trouble accessing several drives on the server. Now with this upgrade, I can't log on to any of the drives.
The IT folks are not that Mac savvy and they've tried a few things regarding security, but they're lost, and haven't found anything from Microsoft that helps. And I know nothing about networking. I've tried searching Apple but can't find anything specific to this problem. I can print to all the networked printers, just can't get to the drives.
Is there something we're missing here? Something in my System Preferences that we needed to adjust first?
Thanks.

Trex can't be updated to higher levels on windows 2003 server 64 bit

Hi gurus,
We have a portal system (EP 7.0 SP18) and a Trex 7.0 server which are
working on windows 2003 server 64 bit on the same server.
After upgrading our portal system from sp15 to sp18, we can not see
indexes on Index Administration screen. When we tried to create the
indexes from the beginning, we faced the message "An index with the samename already exists."
We thought that the level of the Trex server(25) is low which may cause
this problem and decided to update the Trex server to level 46. We
downloaded "TREX70_46-20001842.SAR TREX 7.0 REV 46" from
service.sap.com and tried to update Trex server according to
NW70_SPSTACK_GUIDE_SPS18.pdf.During the installation a warning
message "You started an installation of sofware for platform
i386, but SAPinst is running on platform AMD64" was given. When we
continued the installation, an error message
was shown in a message box."Running msiexec.exe failed with return code
1603:Fatal error during installation. Commandline was
msiexec.exe/norestart/L sapmmcx86u.log/i sapmmcx86u.msi/qn" I searched
the sapmmcx86u.log and the error message says that this installation
package is not for windows
2003 server 64 bit.
"This installation does not support 64 Bit Windows Operating systems.
Please use the corresponding 64 Bit installation package.
Action ended 8:26:08: LaunchConditions. Return value 3.
Action ended 8:26:08: INSTALL. Return value 3.
MSI (s) (10:84) [08:26:08:578]: Product: SAP MMC SnapIn -- Installation
failed."
We searched in OSS notes and found the note "Note 1021003 - TREX 7.00 -
Update Windows 2003 64-Bit installed from DVD"
.We did the things in the note but unfortunately nothing changed.
We tried the install revision 45,44 etc but we got the same warning and
error messages.
Any suggestions?
Edited by: Tolga Akinci on Apr 30, 2009 3:08 PM

Hi Tolga,
You face with this error, because of Trex installation package is trying to install native i386 redistributables (vcredist_x86.msi) during the process. In order to patch Trex system on x64 architecture, follow the instructions, below;
1) Start sapinst, under your <TREX_PATCH> path
2) Ignore AMD64 warning popup
3) When popup appears on the "1603:Fatal error during installation." error, change temp folders on both environment variables, on my computer
4) Download and execute "vcredist_x64.exe" then run installer
5) After respective installation click on "Retry" button on error popup
At the end of this operation, your Trex patch will be succeeded. Please do not forget to undo your temp directory settings, on your Trex host. I hope that it is clarify your question.
Best regards,

Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

The issue is as follows:
The Imac is connected to the windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Windows 2003 server and a mac

Hi
We have a powerbook G4 running 10.4.6
And we want to use it on a windows 2003 server network.
How is this done?
i.e server end and mac end.
Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 GB of ram

Hopefully you can help me too. My company just purchased a MAC BookPro and we all pc based with a PC Windows server. I have been trying to get this MAC to connect to the server. We need it to be able to access files and folder on the PC server to save and retrieve pc files.
I finally I it to where to do the GO > Connect to Server > Type in info > it brings up authentication information, we type in the domain and user name and password > but then I get an error saying the user name and password are not found.
Apple support told me it's now on the pc server side. I know the user name and password are correct. We have installed the Mac components on the server. I don't know if there are some other conflicts with the server or what to do.
Please let me know if you know of anything else I can try.

Trying to access Windows 2003 Server share with Mac OS 9.04

Hi
I cannot connect to a Windows 2003 Server share on my 2003 domain. I can access the share with my MacBook (10.4.9) & my G4. I have File Services for Mac installed & can ping the server from all OS 9 Mac.
Can anyone give me some tips?
MacBook Administrator

How are you trying to connect to the server? Via AppleTalk or IP? (What utility are you using to ping the server from the Mac OS 9 machine?) Since you're not providing any information about error messages you're receiving or the symptoms of your problem I can only provide the following information.
If you're selecting the server from a list in the Chooser and clicking the OK button then the connection should switch to IP automatically. Make sure your Mac has TCP/IP enabled and is receiving an IP address or that you have an appropriate IP address hard-coded. You can try forcing an IP connection by entering the IP address or DNS name of the server in the Chooser rather than selecting it from the list in the Chooser.
Or you can try forcing an AppleTalk connection by selecting the server in the Chooser and holding down the Option key as you click the Connect button. If you're asked to enter your name and password then you're communicating properly with the server. This is, however, a very slow connection compared to IP.
Finally, be sure you update to the latest version of Mac OS 9, which is 9.2.2 <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288>.
Hope this helps! bill
1 GHz Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

Can oracle discoverer 10 be installed on Windows 2003 server

Hi,
I have couple of queries related to Oracle Discoverer. Need help urgently.
1. Can Oracle Discoverer 4.1 version support Windows 2003 on which Citrix server version 4 or above is installed? If yes, please let me know the patch details to download the same.
2. Can Oracle 10g BI Tool, Oracle Discoverer Administrator and Desktop be installed on Windows 2003 Server Operating System on which Citrix server version 4 or above be installed?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh Gurram

Hi,
1. Discoverer 4.1 has been desupported but was only certified for Windows 200 and XP
2. Discoverer Desktop and Admin is support on Windows 2003:
2003 SP1+ 10g (10.1.2.0.2 )
One thing I have to mentioned is that Oracle does not support any Citrix client operations.
If ever you encounter a problem you will need to reproduce the problem
outside of the Citrix environment to prove that it is not the cause of the problem.

Can we install Windows 2003 server in a macbook?

Guys!!!
Can we install Windows 2000 or 2003 server in a macbook?

To clarify what was previously mentioned... you can only install 2003 Server using virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware's Fusion. You cannot install Windows 2003 Server using BootCamp which is the boot manager shipped with Leopard.

So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

Oracle discoverer 9i can not running at windows 2003 server

Hi, Please help me.
When I upgrade from windows 2000 advance server to windows 2003 server the oracle discoverer 9i can not be open. When I open it there is a error "Failed to open document"
How to make it run smoothly at windows 2003 server?
Thank You

Hi,
This is a bug in your version of Discoverer. There is a patch to make it work with windows 2003 or you can upgrade your Discoverer to a later version. The patch should be available from Oracle support. I don't know of anyway to make your version work with 2003.
