Mac OS X 10.5.7 Server - Problem with SMB-Share

Hi@all,
i've following problem with my Mac OS X Server.
I want to disable the virtual share points of SMB with Server-Admin.
After disabling the virtual share point and saving, the virtual share points are autmotically enabled again. I don't know why and how i can solve this problem.
Does anybody know, what is going wrong?

  • 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.

  • Problem with SMB share

    Hi!
    I have a problem when connecting to a SMB file share on a Windows 2003 R2 server (also acting as a Domain Controller for the Active Directory domain) using OS X 10.5.2.
    I've just reinstalled Leopard to rule out any problems with messy configuration on the client, but the problem persists. The newly installed Leopard client is not a member of the AD domain at the moment.
    When connecting to the server share (with cmd+K in Finder), I have to login using a AD account. The share is after successful login accessible through Finder and I could traverse the folders and read / copy all the files on the share. I could also save smaller files (less than 16 KB) to the server.
    However, if I try to save a larger file (more than 16 KB) the files gets created on the server share, but stays a 0 KB. The access to the server share freezes during 60 seconds and the "Copy" window just tells me it has copied 0 KB of the file so far. No data seems to be written to the file at all.
    After Finder gives up, the "Copy" windows tells me that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
    From time to time Finder has also disconnected the share during problems, and OS X has crashed on me in kernel panic four times when testing. I haven't been able to track down the action triggering these errors yet.
    The shares on the server works just fine when using the same username/password from a Windows XP client machine.
    I don't see this problem when mounting a share from a Windows XP client in Leopard.
    What could be wrong here? Is there some setting on the Windows server that has to be done to work with Leopard? (I've read about the SMB signing, but Leopard shouldn't need the signing to be turned off, should it?)
    At the moment I'm having a hard time using the shiny new MBP at work, so any help on this would be highly appreciated!
    Best regards, Jonas Mixter

    I have an issue with OSX Leopard (10.5.2) , where by I can't write to NTFS shares on W2K3 servers with SMB signing turned on and IPV6 disabled for the interface.
    To recreate the issue:
    Create a folder named test that contains two files one named ._test.txt and test.txt on OSX and copy to an SMB share on W2k3.
    This results in spurious errors about permissions and locked files.
    Copying a file larger than 4k results in the error:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges or some of the items."
    Using mount_smbfs from a shell on OSX results in the error: "Permission denied"
    host:~ user$ mount_smbfs //user@server/share /Volumes/test-smbmount/
    Password:
    host:~ user$ cp test.docx /Volumes/test-smbmount/
    cp: /Volumes/test-smbmount/test.docx: Permission denied

    There is an alternative solution if you do need to drag and drop in your gui world, it'll cost you $120

    I have mailed the developer as he has obviously identified the root problem of the issue and I urged him to share his patch/resolution with Apple in the interests of the user community and a darn nice thing to do.I had a response form the developer to my request. I sent my workaround solution to the developer and stated that in my opinion the pricing for the software seems unnecessarily high based on the functionality it provides and way above what I would be willing to pay to resolve one small issue.
    <developers response>
    Pricing is a difficult topic to discuss -- but if you have no use for the product, any price is too much. As for reporting bugs to Apple, they'll listen to customers much sooner than they'll listen to developers. And they have some of the brightest engineers I know. If you report the bug to them, they'll likely have it fixed in the next update.
    </developers response>
    I couldn't find away to report the bug myself so I had a friend do it for me. The response I had back from Apple was less than satisfactory.
    They believe that the issue is to do with NTFS streams and that a file containing ".com.apple.smb.streams.on" needs to be created and placed into the root of shared volumes. This is not a fix!
    If you want to prevent writing the "Apple Double" files to a remote share, enter the following into a terminal:
    $ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
    Problem still exists.

    Before Mac OS X, the Mac OS used 'forked' files, which have two components: a data fork and a resource fork. The Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk formats support forked files. When you move these types of files to other disk formats, the resource fork can be lost.
    With Mac OS X, there is a mechanism called "Apple Double" that allows the system to work with disk formats that do not have a forked file feature, such as remote NFS, SMB, WebDAV directories, or local UFS volumes. Apple Double does this by converting the file into two separate files. The first new file keeps the original name and contains the data fork of the original file. The second new file has the name of the original file prefixed by a "._ " and contains the resource fork of the original file. If you see both files, the ._ file can be safely ignored. Sometimes when deleting a file, the ._ component will not be deleted. If this occurs you can safely delete the ._ file.

    I am not the only one this issue. A quick peruse on http://macwindows.com/ will show that numerous people are suffering and numerous workarounds have been suggested. Sadly none of which work for me. Each work around is stranger than the previous. Such as disabling IPV6 and updating Daylight Savings Time.
    The issue lies with the samba integration. I am primarily a Gentoo Linux user and this kind of bug would have been resolved almost instantly if present in open source software.

  • Problem with administrative share

    Hello!
    We have headache-giving problem with Administrative Share in our company.
    Network looks like this:
    1) Server VLAN - x.x.10.1
    2) User VLAN - x.x.11.1
    3) Domain Admins VLAN - x.x.12.1
    Now for that situation.
    When we trying to access Administrative share (C$) from Admin VLAN to User VLAN, it's all fine
    From Admin VLAN to Server VLAN - all fine
    From Server VLAN to User VLAN - problem
    What we found
    Our network guy ensured us, that all three VLAN's are wide open to each other
    We can't access share on variety of OS - WIndows XP, Windows 7 32/64
    Windows share is turned on using Group Policy
    File sharing is allowed in Windows firewall
    On server we are logged via RDP with Domain Admin accout, which is in local Administrators group on every station on user VLAN
    Share service is running
    Any ideas?
    MT

    Hi, 
    Is there any error message when you try to access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to User VLAN and can you access other administrative share (F$, G$, H$, etc.)? Can you access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to Admin VLAN? 
    Please also refer to the thread below to see if it is helps:

  • Problem Mail program & Outgoing Mail Server - Problem with Earthlink

    I had Earthlink POP / SMTP ( In/Out ) Mail server and mac Mail set up when I pulled the power plug on PMG4 due to freeze up !
    Now have no contents in mac Mail program In/Out/Sent/Draft on the PMG4 hardrive or the external Lacie brick back-up hardrive. I am told by Earthlink this is because I had the " don't save email copy on server " box checked in the Mail/Add account/Advanced section.

  • DNS Server problems with ASA 5505

    Hi guys,
    we setup a new ASA 5505 which is mainly used as our VPN gateway. The ASA is configured and controlled by our ISP (and this is where the problem starts )) and they somehow cannot manage to get the VPN settings really working.
    So, here is our problem.
    our machines(Windows 7) are configured to get the network settings through DHCP (Windows 2012 Server).
    Before I connect with AnyConnect to our VPN gateway, the DNS Server setting in the network settings for the adapters(IPv4) are set to 'dynamic'
    When I now connect, this setting is changes to a statc entry (which is our DNS server).
    When disconnecting, it is not reverted back, which means I have to do this always manually.
    What I do not understand is the fact, that the DNS server is set for all the adapters, shouldtn't it be only set to the anyconnect adapter?.
    The interesting thing is, that when I connect to a different ASA, this does not happen. The ISP is now saying, that the machines are configured exactly the same and that they cannot reproduce, but I can't believe this.
    This issue shows up at every machine which connects to our vpn, so it is not only a single machine which might be misconfigured.
    Do you have any idea what might cause this issue?
    btw, the second ASA (which works) is from our partner company, so we cannot simply copy the config
    THanks in advance
    Patrick

    Nice to see someone from BT has addressed your issue 
    I have this exact same problem, seems completely bizarre, I'm pretty sure I had the same problem with the original home hub (i have the latest one now). Can you confirm whether the problem does affect anyone with a bt home hub and not just the one that the dyndns is pointing at? I'll try and confirm by hitting your domain from my home connection.

  • Iv'e had my mac for 2 weeks & now have a problem with safari since I changed to a wireless super hub.  It will not open a web site I use my iPad & windows lap top will.  Apple support say it's the DNS settings cable say there okay please can anyone help

    Iv'e had my mac for 2 weeks safari was working great until I changed to a wire less super hub.  Safari will not let me open & log into a web site I go on a lot.  My ipad & windows lap top will on the same network.  Apple have said it's the DNS setting my cable provider say it's not it's a problem with my mac.  Iv'e phoned apple lots of times same with cable provider Iv'e tried a few things it has not helped solve the problem.  I'm now advised to return my mac to the shop for a check.  Has anyone else had this problem I would appreciate any help because I'm going round in circles.

    Adding a couple of DNS numbers sometimes helps:
    System Preferences>Network, select your wifi or ethernet network on the left and click on the 'advanced' button and then the DNS tab. On the left side of the window make a note of any DNS numbers listed so that you can re-instate them if necessary and then click on the '+" button bottom left of the window. Type 8.8.8.8 and click the + again and type 8.8.4.4 save the settings and try the website again.
    BTW, I have the same problem with Firefox not letting me input my password in secure sites. I did find a workround in the network settings in Firefpx prefs, but it didn't stick so I reverted to using Chrome as alternative browser. No problems with that so long as you don't mind Google looking over your shoulder

  • Mac OS X 10.6.8 experiencing problems with Safari

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 snow leopard and Safari version 5.1.10 which claims to be up to date. On sights such as Folksy I'm getting error messages when I try to upload photos, saying that my browser isn't up to date. I have had problems with Facebook and the blue navigation bar appearing only intermittently. Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix these issues?

    Of course you may be able to upgrade to a higher OS version but that depends on your iMac variant. Some can run no higher than OS 10.6 and other are constrained to running no higher than 10.7. To see what is possible from OS 10.6, click on your Apple menu (left end of menubar) and, while the pulldown options are visible, press the OPTION key. The first item, normally "About this Mac," will change to "System Profiler." Launch it.
    The opening Profiler screen will show your Hardware Overview. In the image below, I have indicated with the red arrow a model code that will precisely identify your iMac variant:
    Also note the amount of "Memory" installed (the ninth line) and tell us what that is. Some older Macs did not ship with enough RAM for newer OS versions and more may need to be added.
    From the chart below, you can see if your model supports a higher OS version:

  • My Mac Pro 1,1 won't boot, problems with disk.

    I am having problems booting my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. I was using my computer just fine and then I shut the computer down. When I tried to restart it the computer booted the the Apple logo and the status whell began turning, and then a progress bar appears under that and begins to load. It loads about 1/10 of the way, dissappears and then the computer shuts off.
    I booted the computer using Command + R and attempted to reinstall OSX Lion, but it would not allow me to select a drive to install too. They are all grayed out. From here I went into Disk Utility and attempted to Verify Disk Permissions. A laundry list of errors immediatly came up. Next step was the verify the disk, at which point the message read that the disk seamed to be corrupted and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair the disk but was then told that the disk couldn't be repaired, to recover any data and reformat the drive.
    The problem with this is that I have not backed anything up (yes I know I am a TARD) but this is my situation and I need some help. At this point I would just like to recover the info that's on this disk, and without a computer to do this I'm not sure how to do this. At this moment I am attempting to make a disk image of the corrupted drive in hopes that this will allow me to restore it later.
    Please somebody help. I bought this computer with a lot of pre-installed programs, (i.e Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Studio, etc.) not to mention all of my other files.

    I have an external drive that I used to keep files backup up on, again I'm a TARD, and no longer do. I've been messing around with the Recovery option when I boot and during this venture saw my main HD unmount and just would not do anything. After trying a few things I reset the system again and when I got back to recovery noticed that the drive had mounted again. I am now using disk utility to copy the entire contents of this main HD to the external drive. Est. time remaining is 12 hours. I did have the external filled up with some stuff but nothing I wasn't willing to trade for all of my applications (that came pre-installled when I bought the machine) and other files. I've read that even doing this isn't a fail proof way to solve the problem as their are still corrupted files, but Disk Utility said that my drive couldn't be repaired and to backup what I could and format the drive. I am hoping that backing up everything to this external drive will give me at least some oportunity to recover my apps, files etc. It also said that if disk utility couldn't fix the drive to boot from the CD and try it that way. Unfortunatly I downloaded Lion and don't have one. I just bought this HD about 2 years ago. Is a Seagate and I haven't had any problems from it. When my computer stopped working I had just been using it and just reset the computer. I am definitly going to get another drive but what are your thoughts on my ability to recover everything? I've heard there are some programs that can handle it.

  • WRT350N - V2.00.20: Write access problem to SMB share from Mac OS X 10.6.2

    Hi everyone, i've got a problem trying to write a file on the SMB share of the wireless router WRT350N from a MAC OS X 10.6.2 Finder (but also from a Leopard).
    I've got no problem neither reading from mac or writing from win.
    I've tried to write by cp command from terminal without problem.
    Sorry for my english and thanks everyone,
     Mr Proc 

    Same issue on my WRT610N V2. I am using iMac Intel running 10.6.2. Error -36 prompted when copying files to the USB share disk from the Finder. Working fine when on PC running XP.
    Another issue is DDNS can't report the router IP to DynDNS.com although it status that the update is successful and completed. After updated, the router's IP is still different to the IP shown on the DynDNS.com. I need to type the IP manually to the DynDNS.com
    Hope the new firmware would fix these problems.
    Thanks
