Mac OS 10.3 and Windows NT server

Is it possible to get a Mac running OS 10.3 to see a Windows NT server and access the data in the Mac Volume?

Yes, it is. The answer for how you'd go about doing this has a lot to do with how your network is set up, though.

  • SMB Network Share Access slow (MAC OS X SL and Windows 2008 Server)

    Hi,
    I've added some iMacs with 10.6 to the Active Directory. This works totally fine. Anyways, I have some trouble, when accessing shares on my network. I found out, that some problems came up, because my network name was XXX.XXX.local I changed the Domain name of the Active Directory, but still the problems exist:
    When opening the finder, Open Office or Microsoft Word on the Mac and browsing through files and folders, it sometimes takes up to 30 seconds and more, until the content of a folder appears... I already tried ADmitMac from Thursby, but it didn't seem to fix this problem. When accessing the shares from a Windows machine, they run pretty fast. Any idea?

    I too have the exact same problem and need to figure it out soon. Very slow response times. It seems the server is getting over utilized (look at your resource monitor).
    Current configuration are:
    MAC OS 10.6.4 using a Windows 2008x64 as a file server. Clients are connecting via SMB.
    Whats the common denominator here?
    Our users are using Adobe InDesign 3. When users open the file located on the server and submits a print job directly to the printer, the InDesign links ( some files contain around 100 ) reach back to the server to reference the file before it prints. This may be why the server's resources are heavily affected and may be the reason why it may cause slow response times for other MAC users who try and save, open or copy files from / to the server. We have not found a soultion and all things mentioned here including the internet links did not work. We are still testing other variables (copy the Indesign files locally to detemine if print times decrease, etc. Any comments appreciated.

  • Is it possible for a mac to run across a Windows based server such as in a school, and still be able to access all networked folders? I have been told that macs can only read down a certain number of folders

    Is it possible to run a mac on a windows based server? We have a server based on Windows 7 in our school, and our techies are reluctant to let me buy a mac as they say macs can only read a number of folders deep, which would preclude me from accessing shared folders on our servers. Is this true, and is there a way round this? I would eventually like to get a suite of macs, but because all our resources are on the server, I have to be able to access them.
    Thanks for any help,
    Mike

    I have found that both Linux and Mac (unix) are capable of reading "deep" folders while win 32 will have issues, your it people are clearly wrong.  I run a network with both win/mac. And as long as the win servers/pc's that have shares are set to allow apple file sharing in their folder properties.   And the macs are set to allow smb there should absolutely no trouble with you accessing anything across the platforms, heck, from a Mac to a win pc on some occasions you don't even need to include a "domain" name to log on to, and you can create aliases and make your own shortcuts etc... So you don't have to manually connect each time you boot up etc... But that's all personal preferences I suppose.
    All I can tell you is that, I do it on a daily basis managing a small business. So your answer is yes you can.

  • Mac OS X and Windows Storage Server share

    I have a new Windows 2003 Storage Server and several MacBook Pros. I created a share on the root of a drive on the Windows server. I get the following error when trying to copy a file to the share: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
    If I create a folder on that drive and create a share with the same permissions, the file copies with no errors. Also, the only way it works is if I give permissions to "Everyone".
    I'd like to lock the permissions down to a group. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Adawgalicious -
    Welcome to the world of Mac/Windows integration. I too get rather frustrated when trying to get the two systems to work together (I have thought of having my systems watch the Apple ads - in hopes that they may remember that they supposedly work together).
    Seriously - I have my iMac as well as an Ubuntu server talking to my Windows 2003 Server and Domain. A few questions:
    - Are you joining the Domain with Macs?
    - What version of Leopard are you using? 10.5.5 and .6 seem to misbehave at times.
    To work around my problems I joined the Mac to my Domain using the Directory Utility. Once I did this I was able to connect to any of the shares within the Domain. I am able to create folders on the Windows share using my iMac and access them on my Windows systems (you will need to have a Domain account to connect tot he shares).
    Best of luck -

  • 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?

  • Mac 7500 working with a Windows 2003 server?

    Hi all and thanks in advance for any help
    We have an ancient mac 7500 that is dedicated to running an old version of DNA sequence analysis software (MacVector 6).
    It is networked in our LAN, and there is a common drive on the server, which is on a Dell running Windows 2003 (yes, I live in a PC world...)
    So, we can see the server, but when we try to do anything to the disk, it shows that priviledges are only read (not read write)
    Our net admin folks swear that they have opened priviledges, and I can certainly read/write from my G4 and my PwerBook running OS 10.
    We upgraded the 7500 to run OS 9.2 to try to make it as compatible as possible, but no luck.
    Any suggestions on how to "unlock" the server drive to read/write?
    You can send email to [email protected]
    Thanks!
    Mac 7500   Mac OS 9.2.x   Windows 2003 network server

    Unless you have added some additional software, the two systems you mention do not appear to have a protocol in common -- the Windows machine wants to talk SMB protocol, the Mac wants to talk AFP.

  • Air port extreme and windows home server

    How do I set up my Airport Extreme to allow me to remotely access my Windows Home Server 2003?

    The following are the basics for setting up an 802.11n AirPorts for port mapping/forwarding:
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the WHS.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
    On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    Click Continue.
    MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the WHS>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>

  • Mac not registering hostname on Windows DHCP server

    I work for a company who is heavy Windows, but we have a few Macs for our graphics department.  The problem is that a few of the Macs, though not all, don't register a host name with the Windows DHCP server.  I've compared the network and share settings between those that have a host name and those that don't and I don't see any glaring differences.  What would make a Mac not give its host name to the DHCP server?

    WIth DHCP, there is really nothing to configure. If the Relay Agent/IP Helper is pointing to it, and the VLAN subnet exactly matches the scope subnet, then it should just work.
    What I've seen in the VLAN config is either a static route back to the subnet the DHCP server itself is sitting on is not configured or incorrectly configured, or there are ports blocked (need UDP, too, since that's what DHCP uses to pass the OFFER), and
    other necessary ports are opened, then it should just work.
    Sometimes NIC teaming on the DHCP server will cause it. Not sure. Microsoft doesn't support teaming prior to Windwos 2012, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Don't get me wrong, teaming works nicely, but they just don't support it because they never
    certified the drivers, that's all.
    The issues I've seen with DHCP relays and VLANs in the forums are usually based on misconfigs in the VLAN or ports blocked. Sometimes we'll refer to call Microsoft Support for specific, hands-on assistance. And searching the threads, from what
    I've found that if they did call support, they've never posted back what the problem was based on or the resolution. I can post a couple of them for you to read through, but there were never any response with the actual resolution.
    If you like, you also have the option to contact Microsoft Support. Here's a list of phone numbers if you choose this option:

  • Using Mail and Windows Exchange Server 2003

    HI I have just set up a server using windows server 2003 and I also installed exchange 2003 on it as well. I have a domain which forwards to my server so I can set up my own mail addresses on exchange which connects to outlook. My windows pc is connected to the domain and the email works fine, no probs. I would like my mac book (tiger) to connect to the exchange server as well for my wife to get emails using an email address I have set up for her. Myself and my wife are new to macs so its slow going at the moment but I am persistant. When setting up the mail using the exchange option it asks for the incoming and outgoing mail server which confuses me as exchange doesnt use these as far as I am aware. can anyone offer any hep at all as I would really like this sorting.
    thanks for any help offered

    Hi
    Without any further details regarding how you have set up your exchange mail server as well as your private network its going to be difficult to help you. In any rate you are the one who has configured the exchange/windows server so I would imagine all of the information regarding the mail server you should know?
    For example if you have enabled webmail on the exchange server then you should know that. If you have not enabled it then there is nothing you need put in the relevant field.
    How well internal DNS queries resolve for your server name to its IP address will depend on how well you have configured internal DNS Services. Only you would know why you can use the IP address and not the name, or the name and not the IP address. Perhaps you should review this. Typically you would match the external MX Record with an internal one, that way DNS names can resolve internally as well as externally to their relevant IP addresses. This all depends on how you have configured Exchange mail server. For example you could be using the POP connector feature. Again this is something you should know as you are the one who has configured it.
    also when going through the mail setup it wont connect to the
    incoming mail sever using the dns info but it will to the outgoing
    mail server using the same info.
    This could mean that internal DNS Services are not set up and that outbound mail is actually using your ISP's mail server rather than your internal server.
    I'm not sure where you are getting Port 993 from? The default ports for POP (inbound) and SMTP (outbound) are 110 for POP and 25 for SMTP. All that is required is a Port forwarding/firewall rule for those ports that point to the internal IP address of your mail server. Provided your domain's MX record is pointing to the fixed external IP address configured in your router at your location then mail should flow in and out. Again this all depends on how you have configured your domain and mail server to send and receive mail. Again only you would know that.
    If you launch MS/DOS (PC) prompt or terminal (Mac) and telnet to the server's internal IP address for port 25 it should tell you if it is accepting mail. You can use the same thing for port 110. The command would look something like this:
    telnet 192.168.1.1 25
    You should see something like this:
    Trying 192.168.1.1...
    Connected to whateveryouhavecalledit.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 yourdomain ESMTP
    If you configure Apple Mail for a POP account then it should work using the internal IP address of your mail server for both inbound and outbound mail, as long as the account configured on your mail serverr is configured for a POP mail account.
    Most Mail Server's today will offer a mail service using IMAP accounts (this is in addition to the other methods offered) which can be accessed simply using a web browser. In my view this is preferable to POP accounts as (a) you don't need a separate mail application (b) no mail is ever stored locally, its all kept on the server (c) you don't even need your own pc/mac to access your mail. As long as you know 3 bits of information you can send/receive mail anywhere in the world just as long as you have access to any computer that has access to the internet.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • TS130 and Windows Home Server 2011

    Hello,
    Just got a New TS130 1105B2U and am curious if anyone has used Windows Home Server 2011.  I did not see it on the list.
    Also, I notice there is a 4TB cap on the drive support.  Is that only for the hardware RAID support?  Is it possible to install an additional drive controller in conjunction with the motherboard or is the cap based on the BIOS?
    I looked around the forum but could not find an answer.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Lenovo never announced support for Windows Home Server 2011.  As it was a consumer-oriented OS, it was not in-line with our strategy for those systems.  WHS2011 runs on core of Windows Server 2008 R2 and is the close cousin of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, both of which are fully qualified for use on ThinkServer TS130.   You should be able to find compatible drivers at support.lenovo.com using either of those as your match to get your server functional.
    Support note: Lenovo would be unable to provide any level of support for the OS.  This does not impact your hardware support.  I'm going to guess you are familiar with these types of restictions since WHS2011 is only sold as an OEM licence.  
    As to your question about drive capacity, that must be an old revision of the manual.  Lenovo has since annouced 3TB drives, making 6TB the maximum capacity by the system given Lenovo ThinkServer-branded options in a 2-bay system. 
    Below are the drives available for ThinkServer TS130:
    0A89470
    ThinkServer 500GB 3.5" 7.2K Enterprise SATA 6Gbps Cabled Hard Drive
    0A89471
    ThinkServer 1TB 3.5" 7.2K Enterprise SATA 6Gbps Cabled Hard Drive
    0A89472
    ThinkServer 2TB 3.5" 7.2K Enterprise SATA 6Gbps Cabled Hard Drive
    0A89478

  • ITunes and Windows Home Server

    This is probably a question for the Apple developers instead of the community of Apple product users, but here we go:
    I'm involved in beta testing Microsoft's new Windows Home Server that's due for release in a few months, and so far it's looking like a much better solution than any network hard drive setups that I've seen so far. I've even put iTunes on it and have been testing syncing an iPod to it, and everything works great. The problem is that Home Server isn't designed to be a computer that people actually log directly into, either by sitting at the keyboard/mouse or by remote desktop. It has a special user interface for managing the server, as using the real tools can break the spiffy dumbed-down versions of stuff they've set up.
    What I want to know is whether or not there are any plans for Apple to release a version of iTunes that will have a remote control function of sorts built in, so that playlists can be created, iPods synced and properly disconnected, and the library managed from a remote computer on the same network. Sharing the library isn't a problem. I've already put that feature to use and it works great. But I'd like to be able to sit at my laptop and manage the library stored on my server, via remote interface.
    Of course, in keeping all of the content creators happy, the computers that control the remote iTunes setup would have to be authorized to play content from that library.
    This could really just be a feature added to the library sharing function.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!

  • SCEP on ISE 1.2 and Windows 2003 Server

    Hi there
    has anyone ever be able to get SCEP on ISE 1.2 working with Windows 2003 Server? I know Cisco recommends Windows 2008 Server onwards, but sometimes the server infrastructure is not yet there.
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Dominic

    Hmm, good question that I would also like to know the answer to. All of my deployments have been either 2008 or 2012. I believe long time ago I got it working in my lab with 2003 but then my 2003 server blew up so when I re-created it I did it with 2008. However, I cannot confirm 100% and even if it was true it was not in a full production environment. So it would be nice if someone else can chime in here. 
    I did come across this though that would suggest that it is supported with some tweaks:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Borderless_Networks/Unified_Access/BYOD_Design_Guide/BYOD_ISE.html
    Windows Server 2003, Microsoft SCEP (MSCEP) required a Resource Kit add-on to be installed on the same computer as the CA. In Windows Server 2008, MSCEP support has been renamed NDES and is part of the operating system. NDES may be installed on a different computer than the CA (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753784%28WS.10%29.aspx).
