Max connections to a share folder

Hi,
I'm helping a developer that has encountered issues in one of his applications. He has a process that creates a lot of threads to a single shared folder in a Windows 2008 Standard R2 Server. When the application is being heavily used, he gets the following
message:
"No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept"
My question is, are there any limitations in the OS version I'm using? I've tried but I couldn't find anything that tells me that. The only thing I found is that the shared folder's user limit is set to "Maximum Allowed", and in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Shares",
the value of MaxUses is 4294967295 (I believe this should work!).
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

Hi,
This behavior occurs if the computer reaches the maximum number of inbound connectionthat the computer can host.

SCCM Task Sequence Fail to Connect Share Folder on SCCM server

those days we have an task sequence issue- can't connect to share folder on the SCCM server
Enviroment
in our network, we have DHCP server, DC server, DNS server. we are trying to bring up an new server to boot from the SCCM server. we have two VLAN in our environment. VLAN 54 and VLAN 200.
the DHCP/DC/SCCM/DNS are all running on VLAN200
Issue
we have those steps in this task sequence
Installing OS
setup windows and configuration manager
connect to an share folder to SCCM(run some sicrpts)
run the scripts
install the sqlserver
1. when the VM running on VLAN 200, no issue on all the task list, we can access the share folder on SCCM server.
and task sequence run ran success.
2. but when VM running on VLAN 54, issue came. when the task sequence run into the [Setup Operation System]/[Connect to network folder]. this step can't get the share folder to sccm server.
then the task sequcne was quit, so we logined to vm have a look. run the ipconfig/all. no IP address get from DHCP server.
but when we run the command ipconfig/renew on this VM, then we can get the IP address from DHCP server.
we have tried an alternative solution like below.
add an step ipconfig/renew before connect to share folder, then the task sequence can connect to share folder, but when the task run into last step- install the SQL from package.
unfortunately, we came cross another issue.
Failed to invoke Execution Manager to Install Software for PackageID='GDL00008' ProgramID='Install SQL 2005 Standard SP4' AdvertID='GDL2001F' hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
InstallSoftware failed, hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
Quetions
so we suspect there may something to do with network, but the network team said there is no issue on their side. so what i can go to research, how can i fiind the root cause or how to confirm it is an network issue. do you guys have any idea on this issue?

The error means RPC server unavailable. TS needs to invoke Execution Manager by RPC. This may be caused by the issue of RPC starting. I suggest you check the RPC service availability first. Another try is to add a restart computer step before installing
SQL. If still no avail, add a Delay "cmd.exe /c timeout /t 900".
Regarding the connecting network share issue, seems the network services has not been initializing or ready. Another possibility is the DHCP time out. Check the Event log and this may give you some clues of why the network is not ready or DHCP cannot get
IP address. Network Monitor can also be used to monitor the IP helper when the Client try to send DHCP request after reboot.

Sharer folder issue between two directly connected PC

Dear All, I have an issue regarding folder sharing. need your help to resolve this. the scenario is
two PC's are connected directly to share a folder, to open *.mdb file of a accounting software. this problem start when I moved windows XP PC's and installed windows 7 64 bit PC's. there is no compatibility issue as I run the same software on other
locations
PC A (192.168.1.200) has that *.mdb file and PC B (192.168.1.100) has to open this file through a network.
when I configured the folder share and network setting, all done well and PC B can connect with PC A and that software work well. After two days, when we start the software at PC B, its not responding when it try's to open that database file.
while analyzing, I found out that PC B can open the share folder of PC A but when open the desired database folder explore starts not responding and need to quit it by force. I also tried to share another folder of PC A but results are same.
PC A run the software with out any problem.
It seems like network issue, so I check the cable with cable tester, found it good, than I check the connectivity by ping command, it giving me <1ms time. but still change the connectors.
the hard part is that, this share folder issue arises 3-4 days a week and 2-3 days it works well, and this is happening from last 28 days. I mean, one day we start the the PC B and use the software via network, the next day we start the PC B and we don't
able to use the software,..strange.
I also change the cable connection from cross to straight as both new PC's have gigabit Ethernet but results are same.
I already contact with software company, as per them its network issue as we can use the software on local PC (PC A) and there is no error messages popup.
please help me out in this regard.
Thanks Tanveer

Hi,
Firstly, we need to identify is this file sharing or netowrking problem. If you can access to the shared folder and modify its files which locate at PC B through PC A, it indicates file sharing works with no problem.
After that, we need to check if its networking or software itself problem when reading the .mdb file.
Put the .mdb file at PC A, then using the software open it for test. If no problem, we need to use Process Monitor to capture the access trace of the software process, we should be able to find some clues.

Can I Create A Symbolic Link to folders stored on an SMB Share folder?

Hello,
I am very new to Unix and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with regards to Symbolic links and an SMB share folder ....
Have purchased an ext. LAN Drive enclosure (http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_usblan) which connects to my wireless router via ethernet like my G5 (main Mac) - our iBook connects via Airport. I have copied all my general documents/files to the SMB share folder on the ext. drive so that I can access them from the G5 and also the iBook.
However I'd also like to be able to store my actual Mail folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Mail/), , Safari folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Safari) + my Address Book and other folders sitting in the Application Support folder on my SMB share so all important docs/folders are in the one place. I've tried storing these folders on the SMB share and putting an Alias to these back in Users/Mark/Library/Mail etc but of course an Alias doesn't work.
Question 1: Can I create a symbolic link to these files if these are stored on an SMB share folder? If so, could you please tell me exactly what I'd need to type into Terminal? My SMB Share path is smb://STORAGE-XXXX/MARK
I have copied my iPhoto library and iTunes library to the SMB share and are working fine.
Question 2: Is it possible/worth attempting to move my whole home folder to the SMB share folder? Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my Mail from the iBook as well. If I could log into either the G5 or the iBook and access my latest Mail, Address Book and other Application Settings, that would be perfect. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Mark.

Dear Mark,
Yes you can. The command to create a link will look something like this:
$ ln -s thisFolder /Users/mark/thatFolder
I did this while I was hosting a microsoft based game. This put all of the players into a common directory.
SMB just resolved the link and everything worked fine.
However, as I understand it, some other applications do NOT work very well with links. As I have NOT tried it with other applications, I fear I can be of NO help to you in this matter.
The only way to find out which applications work with links is to try them and see what happens.
Best of luck,
Kurt

Unable to connect to Deployment share via the 2012 Update 1 workbench.

Hi Everyone,
This is a tricky one, I've been scratching my head for a few days now. I have a MDT deployment share, which lives on a server, for argument sake, lets call it: MDT-01. Via the Servers MDT Workbench, I can connect to the deployment share just fine, from
any PC, other than my main PC (which is running Windows 8.1), I can connect to the deployment share just fine. If I load the MDT Workbench on my main PC, it just has a deployment share folder with a red cross on it. If I attempt to remove it, it crashes the
MMC, if I try and open the same deployment share it crashes the MMC. If I give the Deployment Share a different share name, it errors and says I can't use an existing deployment share folder.
I used to be able to connect to the share just fine, but since the last couple of days I've not been able to connect.
Further investigation with PowerShell reveals that the console thinks it has a persistent drive, DS001, but the path is blank, as in ''.
Restore-MDTPersistentDrive -verboseVERBOSE: Restoring drive 'DS001' with path ''WARNING: Unable to restore drive DS001.
If I try to remove the Persistent drive, it errors, and if I try to add any new drive to either the same deployment share, or an alternative, it fails.
I can use the New-PSDrive and Remove-PSDrive Powershell commands to create/remove a replicated drive, but that doesn't actually change the Path value in the Get/Restore-MDTPersistantDrive, as they seem to be separate, even though I think they should
be linked.
The Internet has been no help, so I'm asking the Microsoft crew to be helpful, and not just do the usual "This is posted in the wrong place, this question will now be closed... etc, etc!" This is an MDT question, not a Powershell question, I just
need anyone who has indepth MDT knowledge to look at this.
To make clear, this is not a question about a client connecting to the deployment share, that all works fine, and I can update the deployment share fine from any other workbench.
I cannot connect to my deployment share, from my local MMC MDT workbench, as it thinks it already has one, but with a blank path. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled both the MDT, and ADK components on my Local PC, but I still cannot connect to the Share.
My question is this: The files/registry that stores this DS001 path setting is clearly local to my PC, but where is it, I've search the reg, and I've check files, but to no avail, I'm likely to rebuild my PC because of this, but I'd rather not if I can help
it.
Any Ideas people?
P.s. Sorry if this post seems rude, I do appreciate the help, I just don't have time for being messed about, as we're migrating our XP system to 7, and with less than 60 days remaininf, I could do without this... Thanks for understanding. :D

Persistent drives are just a easy way for the MDT console to keep track of the Deployment Shares you like the most (think of it as "pinning" Deployment Shares to the console).
The list of persisted Deployment Shares are per user and stored in the file:
"%AppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\User.Config"
Mine looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<userSettings>
<MDTProvider>
<setting name="Drive1Name" serializeAs="String">
<value>DS001</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Drive1Path" serializeAs="String">
<value>C:\DeploymentShare</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Drive1Description" serializeAs="String">
<value>MDT Deployment Share</value>
</setting>
</MDTProvider>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
Make sure the Drive Path points to something valid, otherwise, I would delete (rename) the file and let MDT re-create the file.
I hope this answers your question.

Upgraded to 10.9 and OS X Server 3.0.1, users cannot connect to home shares

Hello. I recenlty upgraded from Lion Server to Mavericks and Server OS X and users are now unable to access their home shares. When one attempts to afp to the server after connecting to my uni's VPN, the login box simply shakes and no connection is made.
Running Mac Mini with 10.9 and OS X Server 3.0.1 with home shares located on a Pegasus RAID array that worked fine under Lion Server. The upgrade seemed to go smoothly, as all accounts were intact and the settings were identical to the functional Lion Server settings. I have combed these forums trying to find a response that actually works for me, but was unable to locate a match that resulted in a working solution.
Here is a sample log when attempting to login:
Dec 16 13:08:50 xx.xx.xx.private kdc[109]: Got a canonicalize request for a LKDC realm from local-ipc

When I first upgraded, I was able to connect via PC but not Mac (10.9) clients, so I tried creating a new account to attempt to ferret out the problem. When I created a new account in the Server.app connecting to an existing home share, I was still unable to connect to it remotely--Server.app threw the "Cannot authenticate connection..." error and closed. I then attempted to create a new user and new home share directory in Workgroup Manager and received an error stating the home directory could not be created (I forgot the actual verbiage, but I will replicate and post if needed). I tried simply adding the folder to the home shares folder, but I was still unable to connect via afp or smb.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as I need to resolve this issue ASAP. Please let me know if any other information would be useful to diagnosing this issue.
Thanks!

I have the same problem although I upgraded from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server. The error appears to go hand in hand with this error.
userInit: CFPreferences: user home directory for user kCFPreferencesCurrentUser at /Network/Servers/fullyqualifieddomainname/Users/user is unavailable. User domains will be volatile.
I've read a number of things to try. A lot of people point to DNS being a problem, but I'm confident this is correct in my environment.

Mout a share folder?

Hello,
I have an imac and a pc! What I want to do is mount a share folder on my mac desktop so that I can just drag a drop file to the pc? How can I do that? I don't want to go to Connect server i already do that now! So is there a way where whenever i turned the pc on and folder shows up on my mac computer?
Thanks

Once the Share is mounted via Connect to Server, there are 3 ways...
Drag that Globe Icon to the PrefPane>Accounts>Login items, window... this will Automount it, (not recommended by me).
Make an Alias of Globe Icon on the Desktop.
Drag that Globe Icon to the Dock, between Applications and Trash.

Windows 7 can't connect to SMB share

Hello, my windows gaming PC won't connect to my shares on my mini server, the server is clean installed just 2 days ago and it worked at first but now it won't even ask for username password it just gives a message that it can't reach the IP address.
I have tried hostname, FQDN and IP and nothing works. but my 2 MacBook Pros have no problem at all, and is maxing the bandwidth of the LAN when transferring files.
I can post a wireshark log if that helps??

Have you tried turning on and off the Filesharing services?
I know sometimes the SMBX portion of OS X Server might crash... so you would have to retart services..

Smb and share folder

Mac lion how to join the smb(server 2003and 2008) and share folder for other win7 user pc .

Hello folks!
Today I found out this phenomenom is a Mac OS X bug!
Here is my translated Bug report to Apple:
Today I noticed that the SMB protocol is bad. New created shares and shares on the start up volume disappear in the Finder window.
I deactivated AFP and activated SMB on my iMac (Mac OS X 10.5.4.). Next I created to shares on the start up volume. When I connected to my iMac via my MBP with Mac OS X 10.5.4 all shares appear in the Finder window. By clicking on a share it opens properly but by clicking on the Back button they disappear!
So I hope that Apple will fix this because it is very embarrassing when I say that Mac OS X is better than Windows and my collegue - a Windows user - sees that shares suddenly disappearing!
I wish that Mac OS X has to be the best operating system and Apple really needs to fix that!
Thank you!

Mac OSX file copy to Windows Share folder permissions

We'd got a few Mac's, one is snow leopard and the other is Lion. The scenario is:
Mac:
Go > Connect to server > smb://servernamehere > Connect > select your share
The authentication box then pops up, they've been typing in a username and password to connect to Server 2008 (Active Directory here by the way). I don't think it matters if they type in "DOMAIN\username" and the password or just "username" and the password.
They try to copy files around but they get this wacky -xx number and their Macs lock up.
On the Windows Server Side I look at the folder permissions and the users they're using are all golden, full permissions. I look at a test folder I create and it too looks good.
The weird thing is this:
If I look at the folders on Windows it looks normal but if I open the command line on a Mac, do:
cd /
cd Volumes
ls
cd Folder_I'm_Connected_To
ls -la | grep testfolder_I_made
I get these results...
drwx------ 1 Their_Username_Here staff --> Some other stuff here like a folder size, date, time and the folder name
My question is this I guess.
Do I have to join these Macs to the Windows domain for the permissions and folder views on the Mac to look right AND to have them funtion properly? The user of the other Mac says she never types in any authentication stuff, she just clicks a folder shortcut on her Mac ans she's in.
I would expect the permissions to at least say something like:
drwxdrwx---
The Windows server doesn't have the group "staff" which makes it seem the Mac isn't looking at the mounted volume in the same way Windows is. They also had this problem on AFP and SMB shares directly on a FreeNAS box which is also BSD like a Mac.
As a result of the Macs behaving similarly on both Windows and BSD (FreeNAS) I think this seems to be some wacky Mac behavior and I just can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, same results at the terminal command on a SMB share, observed here with mac computers running with OsX 10.8 with Windows 2008 R2 SMB shares. My issue is that theses computers need to copy files on theses shares with Chronosync or Carbon Copy and this is not working due to an "modify file attributes permissions" error. But if I copy the files using "Finder" it works great.
You don't need to join your computers to your domain to get it to work. The error that you are talking about is the -5000 error ???

Show smb connections in finder - to folder not root server/folder

Anytime I connect to a SMB share in finder it shows the server in the sidebar under "Shared" . I then have to traverse through the folders to find my actual folder.
Is there any way I can "map" a SMB share in finder so it connects to the proper destination folder instead of the root server/folder.

Try something like this.
Finder > Go > Connect to Server…, then enter
smb://<workgroup>;<user>:<password>@<computer_name>/<share>/<path_to_desired_fol der>
Once connected and the desired folder opened, you can do the usual stuff -- put it in sidebar, add to favourites, make an alias, etc.

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I was wondering whether it had anything to do with the network I was using. The router I am using can't access the internet and I am using the basic 192.168.1.X setup with 255.255.255.0 as the mask.
My computer has an ip of 192.168.1.2 and the xbox has an ip of 192.168.1.3. However, I am still unable to ping the xbox or even see it show up in the network. I did notice that whenever I am using another router that is connected to the internet, I can see other windows based computers in the network tab in thunar under "windows network"
Also, I do have a username and password associated with the samba setup.. so I assume maybe that has something do with it. I checked the permissions of the share folder and it was root:root with read and write permissions. I know samba is working fairly well.. but for whatever reason I can't get the xbox to connect even while it is on the same local network.
