Mapping usb drive with rdesktop to windows server/XP

I have read that the -r option with rdesktop allows you to map a local usb drive on a linux pc to a windows server or XP as follows:
rdesktop -r disk:usb=<path> <ipaddress>
I have arch installed with a base gnome so that usb drives are automatically mounted and unmounted when plugged in.
Locally I have made sure that the usb is being mounted properly.
But when I rdesktop into the windows pc and open windows explorer the usb drive appears as a network drive in the left window but no files appear in the right hand window.
Windows gives me a message that the resource is unavailable. Mu usb is formatted in FAT.
This occurs whether I use the dev address (/dev/sda1) for my usb drive or the mounted address (/media/usbstick) in the -r option.
Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing any files in windows on my usb stick?

There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
 To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
 To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
 A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • Cannot mount external USB drive with FDisk_partition_scheme

    Due to some recent mac issues in my lab, we updated one of the computers to Maverick 10.9.4 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Anyhow, this seems to have erased the ability of the mac to read or mount several identical USB drives with the NTFS format (WD My Passport Ultra 500GB USB3.0). It could do it yesterday when it was OSX 10.6.8, but not today (OSX 10.9.4). The drives still work fine on other OSX 10.6.8, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 computers (this is appears to be a problem with the Maverick 10.9.4 operating system itself, rather than the flash drives which work flawlessly with every other computer I've tried). I want to remove data from the computer to create backups on the USB drives (no, I don't want to create an online backup or buy a new set of USB drives).
    diskutil can see the drives, but cannot verify or repair them as they lack a GUID (GPT) partition scheme. I'm assuming this is the root of the problem. Manually mounting the drives does not work. Installing the ntfs-3g driver also did not work (I was using this to write to the NTFS drives until we upgraded OS's). Installing the WD Passport drivers for OSX also did not work. How do I get the mac to mount these drives?
    I could reformat one USB drive and then copy to the others, but this would be extremely inconvenient and take days of copying files back and forth (and would prefer to fix the mac rather than go through this with every NTFS drive I own). If I did this, the FAT32 hard drive format would not be suitable, as format is unable to handle the extremely large sequencing datasets I need to transfer. I'm not super familiar with hard drive formats, but in the event we cannot get Maverick to actually work could someone possibly suggest a format able to handle large file sizes (the largest file I need to move is ~60GB) and be compatible with Windows 8.1 / OSX 10.9.4 / Ubuntu 14.04 as well?
    Another workaround I thought of would be just to install an Ubuntu partition on the mac and get the files off through the Linux install. Which is also inconvenient, but would probably be faster than trying to reformat the drives and copy everything over onto them again given the amount of data I want to transfer.
    Unrelated, but is there any way to view files and folders in the OSX root directory besides through Terminal? It seems like this functionality was also removed when we "upgraded" from Snow Leopard. (At this point, if it were up to me I would wipe all of the macs we own and replace them with Ubuntu... even the most minor of tasks always require some sort of workaround with them... at my wits end here ).

    Yeah this definitely appears to be a problem specifically with this mac. It's been having all sorts of weird problems lately, and we figured that upgrading to Maverick might fix them (but instead we got new problems).
    To give an update on this, I ended up reformatting one of the drives to HFS+ and disabled journaling. It now recognizes the drive again, and I'm pulling the files off that way. I looked at exFAT, but it looks like HFS+ has much better Linux support (Windows is read-only but that's only a minor annoyance, as the algorithms to process the data only run on UNIX machines anyways). It's a shame I couldn't keep using NTFS (had to copy over literally EVERYTHING again...) but whatever. Again, no solution for the issue (where this mac can't read NTFS drives).
    @rkaufmann87 - To give a bit more explanation, we recently had to disable online backups because apparently the sheer amount of data causes Time Machine to freeze the computer and fail every time it has a scheduled backup (original issue we thought that upgrading to Maverick would solve... didn't work). The hard drive has been having a lot of issues when it begins to reach max capacity as well. So I am pulling off all of my files to external hard drives and deleting the local copy before we attempt to back up online again. And the data would probably take me a year and a lot of money to recreate (for the curious, it's high throughput sequencing data). I'm choosing not to take any chances as a result.

  • SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012??????? What am I missing?

    Hi there,
    As per MS - SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed - now it does not let me install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (Standard without SP1).
    AND SP1 can ONLY be installed AFTER SharePoint 2013 Enterprise is installed.
    So how to install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012?
    Thanks.

    You can download it at the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center:
    https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx 
    or at the Microsoft Developer Network:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/ 
    Please note that if you do not have access to either, you will have to work with the vendor who sold you SharePoint 2013 to get you a new ISO with SP1, or you will have to find a way to make a slipstreamed version on your own.  I'm really hoping you
    have VLSC or MSDN access, as this will make things much easier for you.

  • Hard drive not recognized during windows server 2008 setup

    hard drive not recognized during windows server 2008 setup

    Hi,
    Whether the hard disk is recognized in BIOS?
    Connect it to another computer to see if it could be recognzied incase the cause is the disk itself. Also please check if it is really a RAID instead of a single hard disk - a single disk should be recognized directly while RAID cannot be recognized until
    a suitable driver is installed.

  • HT1948 USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

    USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

  • I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
    Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Type the name directly into windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
    Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
    Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

  • Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

    Hi to everyone.
    I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
    I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client  use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
    cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
    Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
    Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
    Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
    I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
    Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

    Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
    This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
    I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
    program runs every day with no traces of infections.
    Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
    One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
    Can anyone help about this
    Thanks

  • BackUp Server Volume to local USB Drive with TM, HowToDo?

    Hello
    I read in many threads that people want to backup their local drive to a server. I want to do the reverse. I want to backup one of the shared volumes to a local USB drive by using Time Machine?
    How can I configure this. The Server Volume is not recognised by Time Machine.
    Please tell me how I can manipulate this?
    Regards

    What is wrong with that??
    Nothing, if you run TM *on the server,* where they're either internal or directly-attached via F/W or USB.
    But can't run TM *on a remote Mac* to back-up those drives.

  • [SBS 2011] USB drive 3 TB and Windows Boot

    Attached new USB drive to the SBS server. The previous one, 2 TB,  died. This one is 3 TB. When I reboot the server, I see the message 'Windows is starting' briefly and then it halts with an error. Can't make a screenshot, but it's something with UEFI
    boot. Didn't know what caused this, so I tried starting Windows in safe mode. Same error. O dear. What has changed recently... ah, them USB drive. Unhooked it from the server and Windows booted just fine.
    I didn't have this problem with the previous USB drive. The BIOS / UEFI setup of the server is set to boot from harddisk, then CD/DVD. The USB drive isn't coming into play at the boot stage. And it doesn't since I briefly see the message 'Windows starting'.
    When Windows starts, it somehow does something to the USB drive and then decides it can't start. How do I prevent Windows from checking them USB drive at startup?
    Simon

    None of them answers are correct. I don't use the drive for Windows Backup. Tested the drive and it's OK. I rebooted the machine so I could create a screenshot. When Windows starts, it displays the text "Windows is loading files...."
    and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When that bar is full, the machine stops with an error. It looks like this error is triggered by the BIOS, since it displays:
    BIOS rev 2.3.3
    A system restart is required.
    The system detected an exception during the UEFI pre-boot environment.
    Press Enter on the Serial Console for detailed exception info.
    Type: General Protection Fault (13) Source: Software (UEFI0011)
    Then a bunch of numbers and the line:
    -->rip C023D04C bootmgfw.efi <--Crash occurred here 
    Reading this, I wonder if it's a Windows problem or some BIOS / UEFI thing?

  • Wipe Hard Drive clean install of Window Server

    What is the best way to wipe Hard Drive? Save a partition for later use and use remaining partition to install Sever OS, save to external drive(to use later) and wipe completely(cleanest install, I believe), complete wipe completely not worrying about

    There are a lot of embedded questions here, I'll try to hit them all:
    1) If you're reinstalling on the same partition, you do not need to be too crazy in how it gets formatted.  There's no performance gain to using BCWipe or anything.  When you format, you're just erasing the table of contents, then overwriting the
    actual data later on anyway.  Just keep it simple.
    2) If you want to save the data, just copy it somewhere else before you delete anything.  If you're not concerned about the data, don't worry about it, just go back to answer #1.
    3) You can download the Evaluation OS from the MS website.  You cannot turn an eval copy into a full install without reinstalling, so are you sure that is what you want?  You'll end up test building, then when you like it, you'll have to do it
    all over again.
    4) ISO to DVD or USB: Doesn't matter how you end up installing it.  Today's machines can usually support any install media.  Some ways are faster, but you're only talking about saving minutes.  What does it really matter?

  • Is it possible to format an external USB drive with XFS or EXT3 ?

    Greetings all.
    I am running a 2,8Ghz 8x core with 6Gb ram. I have a NAS, (Buffalo Pro Duo Linkstation) which has a built in linux which saves data using XFS (I think). It has a built in backup routine, but the drive it backs up to MUST be in XFS or EXT3 (Fat 32 works but it drops all files over 2GB ;( ... ) So - here's my question:
    How can I format the external USB drive (A seagate freeagent) in XFS or EXT3 so that it can run on my Buffalo? My preference is to use a GUI mac program (does one exist?) or to use a command line UNIX command (FSK? - but then, how????). I could also use (GASP!) a windows utility on parallels, or even install a linux distro via parallels. But it should be easy I hope...
    Looking forward to any ideas/thoughts, tips, etc.
    thanks and best to all from Berlin,
    Jason

    Download a "Live CD" (one you can boot of into running copy of Linux without having to install anything; for example, [OpenSUSE Live CD|http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/iso/cd/openSUSE-11.0-GNOME-Li veCD-x86_64.iso]).
    Use OS X' Disk Utility to burn it to a CD.
    Insert the CD you just burned (if it ejected afterwards), and then restart your Mac.
    Hold down the 'C' key on the keyboard as the Mac boots, and it should switch to booting off the CD. Once the CD starts loading, you can let go. It will take a couple of minutes, but it will eventually boot into Linux.
    Attach your USB drive.
    Run gparted (you need to search the menus for it, it's under system administration, I think -- or you can open up a terminal window and simply type 'gparted').
    Find your disk (/dev/sdb or /dev/sda) and partition and format it using the filesystem you want.
    When done, restart the computer. You'll boot back into Mac OS X and have an EXT2/EXT3/XFS formatted external drive (that OS X won't recognize, by the way).

  • E1550 - unable to access USB drive with Ubuntu

    I am probably overlooking something real obvious but after screwing around for two hours I figure I need some help.
    I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I have set up the E1550 router with an external drive that I formatted with the router utility. At this point I do NOT have an internet connection hooked to the router - I am not sure I want to for now. What I would like to do is to be able to access, wirelessly, a drive that multiple users can use to back up their important files onto.
    I have tried using anonymous disk read/write access as well as creating shares. All the features seem to be setting up ok but at this point I have no clue how to access the drive.
    I have tried using the Ubuntu files utility and then selecting 'browse network' followed by selecting 'windows network'. Alas, 'windows network' is an empty file with no drive present.
    I have tried accessing the router wirelessly and also hard wired - no joy.
    Am I maybe not acessing the drive properly through Ubuntu? Do I need to mount the remote drive rather than accessing it through the windows network ?
    Thanks in advance for any pointers given !
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am not expert with Ubuntu OS but have you tried to map the drive on your computer? I have no idea how to do that using Ubuntu but if you're using Windows or Mac, you can simply follow the steps from Linksys KB. It usually helps me when I am trying to enable file-sharing capabilities within my network.
