OS 10.7, SMB Connection, Change to Unicode with Extended Security on Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi All,  I've searched Google, and I've also contacted Apple Support with no luck:  I want to implement unicode with extended security on Windows Server 2008 Standard server shared folders so that Lion can connect normally (i.e. Finder->Go->Connect to Server->IP Address or server name) to SMB shares and access files.  I'm lacking information; has anyone actually implemented unicode with extended security?  If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Thanks for the reply aorlich. Do you mean enable file sharing on my Mac? With file sharing enabled, I still cannot get to my Windows 7 shares, although the files on my Mac do become available to Windows. Thanks again.

  • Windows Server 2008 Standard: Multiple Concerns: Inconsistent group policy update on client PC's, frequent disconnections of map drives and remote connection

    Hi this is my first time to ask a question here in this community.
    I am a system administrator here at my work and we are having some issues on some servers that we handle. Network in our office is stable and we have determined it is not a problem on the connection.
    First issue - One of our domain controller consistently drops out on our Directory Server and saying it's unavailable.
    Second issue - Unable to ping hostname but IP address works fine. (Sometimes hostname is ok but very intermittent)
    Third issue - Since connection is unstable map drives causes to disconnect
    If someone can provide any assistance on this matter it would be a great help. If screenshots needed for proper assistance would be appreciative.
    Just to add that this only happen after a power failure last April of this month and a few weeks bluescreen started to show. It is a hazy version wasn't able to get any code that may lead to a hardware failure. 
    Now our main RDC.local is also affected so we are trying to isolate this issue and exhauted my brain since we cannot determine what causes it. Need external assistance just to give us a lead on where we can get this resolved.

    Hi Ryan,
    Before going further, would you please let me confirm something more? Thanks for your understanding.
    1. For first issue, would you please let me know OS edition information of the problematic DC? Was it Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 or any other?
    à
    One of our domain controller consistently drops out on our Directory Server and saying it's unavailable.
    Would you please let me know the complete error message or provide a screenshot of it?
    (Please hide all protected or private information.) Meanwhile, please log on the problematic DC and check if find relevant events or errors in Event Viewer.
    2. For the second issue, it seems to be a DNS issue. Did you run
    ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns command? Any find? Meanwhile, please use
    ipconfig /all to display full TCP/IP configuration and check. Or you can post the
    ipconfig result here. It may help us to go further analyze. By the way, would you please let me know error message that you can get when be unable to ping via hostname?
    3.
    àSince connection is unstable map drives causes to disconnect
    May be a cause.
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

    Hi,
    Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
    DC:windows Server 2008 R2
    Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
    When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
    I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
    There have 3 suggestion in this article:
    1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
    Doesnt's work.
    2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
    On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
     UDP    192.168.20.3:137       *:*
    3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
    We are not using IPV6.
    This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
    Please help to check this issue.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Guo Ying,
    I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
    For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
    When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
    Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
    Final Resolution is as follows:
    You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
    Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
    You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
    After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard "Certificate Authority Service" / Exchange Server 2010 EMC not starting and no AD connectivity for authentication.

    Hello,
    I am a new IT Manager at this company and need assistance big time. Their environment looks as follows:
    Server 1. Domain Controller Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running active directory.
    Server 2. Email Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running Exchange Server 2010 .
    * Note. No back ups to work with aside from whats mentioned below.
    DC had a virus infection causing a lot of issues on the shared network drives 2 days ago locking up all the files with a crypto ransom virus. Running Avast suppressed the infection. Had to recover the file shares which luckily had a back up. 
    The issue is that the Exchange Server 2 post this lost connectivity with the AD Server 1. Exchange Server 2 when launching EMC could not launch the console stating the following:
    "No Exchange servers are available in any Active Directory sites. You can’t connect to remote
    Powershell on a computer that only has the Management Tools role installed."
    Shortly after I found that it is possible the EMC launcher was corrupt and needed to be reinstalled following another blog post. I deleted the exchange management console.msc  per instructions only to discover I couldnt relaunch it because there was
    no way how. So I copied another msc file that happened to be on the DC Server 1  back to Exchange Server 2 and got it to launch again. 
    Another post said that it might be an issue with the Domain Account for the Computer, so to delete it in the AD Server 1 only to find that rejoining it from Exchange Server 2 using Computer>Properties> Chage Settings > Change is greyed out because
    it is using the Certificate Authority Service.
    I tried manually re-adding the computer in AD and modeling permissions after another server in group settings but no go. After this I was unable to login to the Exchange Server 2 with domain accounts but only local admin, receiving the following Alert:
    "The Trust Relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed."
    I tried running the Power Shell tools on Exchange Server 2 to rejoing and to reset passwords for domain accounts as noted in some other blogs but no luck as the Server 2 could not make the connection with Server1 or other errors it kept spitting out.
    I also during the investigation found the DNS settings were all altered on both the Server 1 and Server 2 which I luckily was able to change back to original because of inventorying it in the beginning when I started. 
    I need help figuring out if I need to rejoin the Exchange Server 2 manually by disabling the Certificate Authority Service (or removing the CA as listed here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fb23deab-0a12-410d-946c-517d5aea7fae/windows-server-2008-r2-with-certificate-authority-service-to-rejoin-domain?forum=winserversecurity
    and getting exchange server to launch again. (Mind you I am relatively fresh to server managing) Please help E-Mail has been down for a whole day now!

  • Windows 7 64-bit Pro not connecting to SQL Server on domain Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

    I am upgrading computers from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 Professional but I have a problem getting one of the stock control software programs we use to connect to our SQL Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard from the new Windows 7 computers.
    Our computers are connected to a domain and so is the SQL Server. The Windows XP computers allows each standard domain user to log on and connect to the SQL Server via the stock control software program.
    But on the Windows 7 Pro computers standard domain users can't connect to the SQL Server but the domain administrator accounts on the same Windows 7 Pro computers can connect to the SQL Server via the stock control program.
    I have setup the server alias, server name and port number via the SQL Server Client Network Utility (cliconfg.exe) so I know this isn't the problem as it works when I am logged on as domain administrator.
    It seems to be something to do with domain user permissions and Windows 7 Pro. There seems to be a change from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro that doesn't allow standard domain users to connect to an SQL Server. But I can't find anything about this and
    can't workout how to fix it except to make all the users domain administrators which is obviously not a good thing to do. So basically I I think I need to create a group policy that allows the users to connect to the SQL Server but I have no experience doing
    this and don't know where to begin.
    Thanks for all you guys help and I hope someone can provide me with the solution to this problem.

    Hi,
    Was there any message?
    Please run the stock control software as Administrator to check if it was caused by UAC.
    If it could run as administrator, please add the standard domain user to local administrator.

  • Macbook clients cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 RRAS with L2TP/IPSec

    Hi everyone,
    I had installed "Remote and Routing Access" or a VPN server on Windows Server 2008. The connection type set up is L2TP/IPSec. All the Windows clients can connect to the L2TP/IPSec VPN server without problem but Macbook users are facing problem.
    The Macbook users got the error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."
    I think it is something related to the pre-shared key encryption but I am not sure. The Macbook users could connect if the connection type is changed to PPTP on server and clients side. I searched for similar problems and solutions online but no luck, I couldn't find solution that helps. I found this is a common problem faced by many macbook users.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion for this, please? I appreciate all the helps and suggestion given.
    Thanks,
    CK

    Hi,
    Thanks for the question, however, this forum is for Remote Desktop Clients related questions.
    Regarding the issue, as Windows clients can connect with no problem, I suspect that it is a Mac side issue and I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
    Thanks.

    Hi SYaGCi,
    Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
    "Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.

  • Connecting to an external SSAS cube in SSDT 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core

    Good Evening,
    We are experiencing issues when executing an SSIS package from a SQL Server job. However, when we execute the package locally, it is
    successful. The package connects to an external SSAS cube using MDX. I have attached the error message below. The connection manager is OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 11.0. We can successfully ping the external site where the cube is located from the
    server with the job.
    We are using Windows Server 2008 R2 Core. We are trying to access an external cube through HTTPS by sending a username/password in the connection string. This is sent through an OLE DB connection in SSIS. I found an article which says that "Because
    there is no Web browser, you cannot activate a Server Core installation or access the Internet through a firewall that requires users to log on." Does anyone have any additional details on this...is this a futile effort?
    Thanks - Brett

    Hi Brett,
    According to your description, you are experiencing the error when you connect to SQL Server Analysis Services database on a SSIS package, right?
    In your scenario, you said that the package can be executed successfully on your local environment, the issue only occurs on the SSAS server. So please ensure that the provider was installed on the server. Besides, here is a blog which describe how
    to configure the Analysis Services Processing Task in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services， please refer to the link below to see the details.

  • Can I use Remote Desktop Connection (windows server 2008) even if no user is logged in?

    I'm configuring a Server, running Windows Server 2008, to be accessed remotely. Suppose no user is logged in in the server (if it was just turned
    on, for instance). Can I use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to log in remotely in this case? Or is it always necessary to have a user locally logged in, to remotely log in to one of the users available?

    If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
    1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
    2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
    Enable Remote Desktop
    Allow connections to this computer
    Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

  • Sybase ODBC Connection Issue in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi ,
    We have three sybase odbc connection in Windows Server 2008 R2 server . One connection is not working now, it was working fine before 30 days.
    I can ping the server address successfully from BO Server through "dsedit".
    i have created the same connection in a diffrent server (Win server 2003),and it is working fine.
    Sybase ASE Driver version 3.50.00.10
    Please help me to overcome this issue.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh upadhyay

    Hi Saurabh,
    The error message you are reporting is telling us that you are using the very old ctlibrary ODBC Driver.
    That is pretty much the only way you can get that error.
    Run from a command prompt,  isql -v  that will return a version string.  We can then verify the version.
    However, the old ODBC driver will function with the newer client.
    The old driver would read the sql.ini for the network address, and was also a translation layer between
    the client application and the ASE.
    Both were eliminated when Sybase released the "Native" ODBC Driver.
    The ct_connect error states that the connection attempt is using ctlibrary.
    In your ODBC configuration, Check to see in the ODBC Administrator and check to make
    sure that the driver you are using for your DSN is the Adaptive Server Enterprise and not the
    Sybase ASE ODBC Driver.
    Also  check the Drivers tab in the ODBC Admin.  See what the actual file is listed for the driver.
    sysybnt.dll
    syodase.dll  are unsupported drivers.
    It would be to your advantage to open an incident with SAP for more complete support
    Thank you,

  • 8.8 Client cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 error -1102

    SAP Business On 8.8 on PL 18
    This is not the first time I have had this issue with Windows Server 2008.
    however everytime the resolution was diffrent. Now this site is causing trouble.
    The issue is the client cannot connect. We have the log on window, can see the company list. type on the password and we get a -1102 error.
    The client on the Server itself can log on. It is the cleints that cannot.
    I checked these below.
    1 SQL Native client is installed and ok.
    2. Licence server is configured and ok
    3. The user has admin access to locl PC
    4. The SAP user name and password are correct ( client on server can connect fine )
    5. The ports 1433, 30000 and 30001 are open on the server.
    6. Through SQL server configuration the named pipes and TCP are enabled.
    7. SQL server browser is running
    The only things I have not tried are
    The Firewall is running on the server and I have not yet stopped it. Will try that tomorrow.
    Do you have any other ideas please ?

    I have got this working but I am not confidant of the outcome  - yet  - I really need your expert advise here.
    This is what I did. In that order.
    1.     As Owen suggested I checked if there was a specified Port for the instance.  What I found was TCP Dynamic  ports were enabled (  SQL server config manager | network configuration | tcp properties ) and there was no TCP port specified.  Assuming ( ai may be wrong) that the system assigns a dynamic port to this instance  I set it up so the Dynamic port does not happen and manually specified the Port  1433. Restarted the SQL Service. ( still having the Port 1433 open in the firewall). This did not solve the issue.
    2.     With the above setting still on, switched off the firewall. Went to the PC client and SAP can log on now.  Now keeping the SAP client running, switched on the Firewall on the server. Log off SAP on PC client and log back in ( with firewall off ). SAP now can log on.
    3.     I had to do the above step for all PCs to get them working.
    4. Currently the firewall is on and clients can connect
    So what could be happening? I have no clue. It is apparent there is some setting that gets saved within the PCs ( may be user profile) after the first log on with the Firewall off  - to say its safe ?
    However I have no idea what will happen if the server is restarted u2013 this server we cannot restart any time we want as itu2019s a critical server and runs other things. 
    I would still like to get to the bottom of this to understand what is happening.
    I have a SAP message running too and will ask them this same question.

  • How can I speed up logins using MacBooks to a Windows Server 2008 environment.  Logging onto the network is extremely slow.  We are using a wireless connection to the network in classrooms

    I work in an Education environment with Windows Server 2008.  I am trying to join our Macbooks to Active Directory.  They are joined but the login is extremely slow.  I read that this is because of a possible problem with an OS update.

    Check the ethernet link speed when connected directly to the TC.. if you are plugged into the modem direct.. and comparing that with wireless on the TC we have no way of knowing where the issue is.
    There is some issue related by someone when the TC was bridged.
    It is extremely hard to impossible to know what is causing wireless slow down.. needs lots more info.
    What is the link speed?
    Set manually and try different channels.
    The series 1 cannot do 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously but test on 5ghz and see what the speed is like. You will need to be in the same room as the TC.
