Mapping to Windows Share via Terminal

Any one know the syntax to map to a Windows share via Terminal?
Thanks.

You can use the terminal to mount a windows sharepoint using the samba protocol.
This howto shows you the syntax for doing so.

Lost a lot of files during move to a mounted Windows share via SMB

Hi,
after mounting a network Windows share via SMB and then using the Finder to move files from my local disk to that share all the files that were to be moved are lost in ****. I am totally upset because these were very important files. What is it that drives 10.5.2 nuts here? Has anybody any ideas?

Look in \Music\iTunes\iTunes media\ (or \iTunes music\).

Unable to view files from windows share

Hi guys,
I am wondering if you can help me out. I have 10 mac ocnnected to a windows domain. Five machinies are OSX 10.5.8 and five are OSX 10.6.8. The problem I am having is I can connect to the windows share via smb but I am unable to view the files. I can connect the server and see the folder listings but I am unable to view the contents of each directory. The users permissions are fine as they can log into a windows PC an are able to access the files as needed. I have tried different user accounts and all are getting the same issue. Each account has admin rights as well. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue before?
Thanks in advance!

files like movies or pdf files. Under the apps section, I can't see any way to transfer files.
Also do I need to completely sync my ipad, if i click sync then after a while it says can't sync all the apps present on the ipad

Cannot access windows shares with NTFS junction points

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks and now I cannot access Windows shared where the folders are access through NTFS junction points. (NTFS junction points are like symbolic links to files/folders).
Regular shares are working fine and these shares are working on Windows PC's. I also tried before and after on another Mac Mini I have, so is definitatley something to do with upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance
A.

This is related to Apple's new SMB2 implementation in Mavericks.
Instead of connecting to your Windows share via SMB, connect via CFIS. Note that I had to disconnect from Windows share, restart, and then reconnect with CFIS to get the NTFS junction points to work.
From ZDNet:
You can also try forcing Mavericks to use the older SMB variant, Common Internet File System (CIFS). To do this, simply edit your server connection URL so that it uses CIFS. Use the Finder to choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server..." (or just use command-K) and type "cifs://YourServerName" and hit Return; the server should mount. If it doesn't, try entering the share's designation as well, e.g. "cifs://YourServerName/YourDriveName."
[BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM SMB SHARES AND BEFORE THE CFIS CONNECT TO MAKE SURE ALL ACCESS THREADS CLOSE!]

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

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...

ZCM and Mapping Windows Shares

Hi,
I am having a strange issue. I have a VBscript that runs in the Novell Login script when users log on that maps a drive to a Windows share on our Student Management Database server. The script runs fine and maps the drive, however when you go to access the drive it says:
"K: is not inaccessible........incorrect function"
Now here is where it gets strange. On some computers logged on as the same user it works and you can access while on other computers you get the above message. I first thought it was a rights issue but being logged in as the same user on some computers it works. Another thing I found was with ZCM. We have ZCM 11.2.2 installed on our computers. On the computers that they cannot access the drive, and get the message above, if I uninstall ZCM completely I can then log in as that same user on that computer and am able to access the drive. Also if I install ZCM 10.3.2 I am able to access with that user, but as soon as I install ZCM 11.2.2 on the computer then that same user gets the above message trying to access the drive.
Has anyone ran into this or have any thing that I could look for?
Thanks

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the information. Yeah the VBscript uses a generic account to connect the mapped drive to the server. I will check out some of the GPO settings and see if something is being missed. It is just weird that it is working on some computers but not on others for the same user.

Couple of Questions:
Does your VBScript use a "Generic" Account to connect to the DB Server?
Or are the Students Logging into a Windows Domain and using that Account
to attach to the Windows Server?
It is also possible some GPO security settings could be blocking things.
Depending on the OS of the Client PC and the OS of the Target Server,
certain GPO settings may be required for a connection to complete
properly. Perhaps some Devices are not getting correct GPO settings.

Connecing to Windows shares from OS X 10.6.1

I have several mac's running 10.6.1 on different subnets within the office that are having problems with connecting to a windows 2003 server (domain controller with shares and not running software firewall)
mac 1
Same subnet as the windows server, can connect to the server
Some shares show up with folders in them as expected other shares show up with no folders in them
Tried both cifs and smb and neither are working.
Firewall disabled
mac 2
Different subnet as the windows server, cannot connect, can browse in finder and "see" the server, but clicking Connect As only results in "connecting" and it hangs
Tried both CIFS and SMB and neither are working.
Attempted to connect to smb://ip address, smb://server, smb://server/share and the same with CIFS
Firewall disabled
Console doesn't even show an attempt to make the connection
Network passwords have been removed from Keychain Access
Thoughts?

I was hoping that 10.6.1 might fix some of the problems, however same problems here. SMB/CIFS broken with finder but will work with smbclient in command line via Terminal. Seems as though Finder will only send encrypted authentication no matter what. It's strange that some people have had success by using numerical passwords only (me included). Could this be a problem with the UTF character set mapping I wonder within Finder?
Come on Apple, I don't mind a shift towards encrypted only - even if it does cause hassle for those of us using servers we don't have admin rights to, but having this level of inconsistency in the same software release is unacceptable.

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
3 08:33:06 samba adbindd[24524]: [ID 323999 auth.error] ERROR samba.adbindd2
Task exit with cims error: Error sending response: Broken pipe
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.

Windows shares - content not appearing in Finder, potential workaround

After upgrading to Lion I'm having problems seeing shared Windows drives.
- Connecting as normal (apple - K) mounts the root directory as expected.
- I can navigate to a child directory, but can't see the contents of that child directory in the Finder
- However, I can see it if I navigate to it via the Terminal...
In addition, if I navigate to the child directory via the Terminal and issue "open ." a Finder window opens revealing the files. I can then go 'up' a directory to the parent and see the full listing that was not being shown before!
Obviously this is some sort of bug? I am alone in experiencing this?

Well I have no issue with seeing Windows shares on Win 2008 cluster servers and my wifes XP SP3 Dell. Lion does seem to take longer than SL in showing the content of some folders when first opening, but I would say that once the index for the content is complete then there is no delay from then on.

Finder cannot access CIFS share but Terminal can

Hello,
when I connect to a Samba share of my university for which the folder permissions are set via NFS ACLs, Finder gives an error: The folder FOLDER cannot be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.
Access via Terminal to the folder FOLDER works fine though.
The behavior is identical to the following post

Any ideas?

Outlook via Terminal Server possible ?

Hello,
in the 9i release the Outlook Connector didn't work when outlook was accessed via Terminal Server and no local outlook installation was available.
Did this change with 10g ? Is this now possible ?
It would be important to have this function in order to do Application Service Providing
with OCS.
thanks,
Jochen Zehe

Hi, thanks for response.
Additionally i found the following in the doc:
As of 10g Release 1 (10.1.1), Oracle Connector for Outlook is certified to work with Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services. Terminal Services were conceived to provide organizations with a secure and cost-effective means of hosting Windows desktop sessions on a remote server. Remote users connect to a server through a desktop or Web interface and benefit from the full Windows experience without the overhead of running applications locally. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services requires greater than normal bandwidth, and you must ensure that all drives are mapped correctly.

RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

Greetings all,
I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
- but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
Thanks in advance.
Terry.

Unable to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on MBP mid-2012

Posted here from my original, since the old one was basically in the wrong thread. https://discussions.apple.com/message/25097756#25097756
I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" with the 2.9ghz i7 configuration, 8gb ram, intel HD 4000, Crucial M4 256gb SSD, and the original 750gb hard drive that was included in the computer. I made the SSD my boot disk.
I've been trying to install Windows 7 via bootcamp for a few days now. The first time I tried it I walked away from the computer after it got to the "Copying files" part of the windows 7 installation so I wasn't able to see what went wrong. When I try to start the computer it goes to the blank DOS screen (or terminal, whatever you prefer to call it) with the flashing cursor for text but I cannot enter anything and it just sits there. So I figured something may have gone wrong with the installation and I tried to do it again.
I re-wiped my 8gb flash drive, redownloaded the boot camp support files, and again started the installation with windows 7. The first time I tried it I had to reformat the "BOOTCAMP" partition that it had created on my SSD because it wouldn't write to it as it was not formated in NTFS. I spared 60gb for the Windows boot. So after reformatting I went through with the installation again. Now I get to the screen where it asks me what username, etc. After I finish entering in my credentials it starts to say "preparing desktop" and then I hear a loud CLICK and the entire machine just reboots and takes me back to the blinking cursor. Is this a common problem when trying to install windows? Thanks!

Have you modified BC Info.plist? Can you verify that you a valid ISO using Microsoft FCIV tool?
Your Windows 7 USB should have a directory structure similar to the following.
