OS X client connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB

My OS X 10.6.7 clients are connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB share. They open files and edit them. Strange thing is that in Windows 2003 Server Open Files the files opened are listed like this:
filename.tiff:AFP_Resource
and the user is unable to save the file to the same location.
Anyone else experienced the same problem?

How to connect to Window 2003 server using "connect as"

How can I set up Lion to easily connect to specified shares in the windows 2003 server. I want to authenticate as a user other than the one I am logged into on my Macbook? I am setting this up for teachers in a school. The macbook may be used by multiple teachers. Best way (simplest) please.

Hi
Let's pretend the Windows Server has an IP address of 10.10.10.254
Go Menu > Connect to Server > smb://10.10.10.254. When prompted enter the account credentials of a user (username and password) that exists on the Windows Server. Alternatively you could use cifs://10.10.10.254. Either one will do. Assuming no 'silliness' on the Windows Network Administrator's part the share should mount.
For ease of connectivity afterwards you could tick the 'remember password using keychain manager' box. Personally I find keychain manager more trouble than it's worth. However you deal with this as you see fit. If it's multiple users using the same workstation I would not enable the option.
Once mounted you can view the Server Share on the user's Desktop by enabling the option in the Finder. It should appear as a blue-ish drive icon on the Desktop. Add the icon in that User's Login Items in the Accounts Preferences Pane. Think of it a little like the Windows equivalent of "mapping a network drive".
Next time that user logs into their local account and provided the workstation is connected to the same network, the share point should mount.
You could also or alternatively drag the share icon to the right hand side of Dock. Click on it to re-connect to the share after you've disconnected from it.
HTH?

Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution. I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server. Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established. I went to the link:
Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
(the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
Hope this helps someone.

Connect to windows 2003 server from 10.4.6

good day everyone,
very peculiar goings on after my recent upgrade to 10.4.6. my current arrangement is that i am connected to a windows 2003 server via my built in ethernet. until this update, no probs. now, however, i am able to log on to the server volumes, but i m unable to save files to them. i get the little red "do not enter" sign on the volumes, and it does not allow me to save. i am also getting duplicate server icons in my sidebar...for instance, i usually have 4 network volumes, named volume 1-4. now i have 2 of each, and i cant save to either. i can, however, drag and drp files on the server volumes.
the network volumes all work fine on the other macs in my department, all on 10.3.9.
any thoughts on this?
thanks,
cr

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the Apple User Forum - Again!
There have been some issues with regards to some applications saving to AFP volumes in 10.4.6.
(ExtremeZ-IP has an updated patch to handle this issue (v4.2.2) and it's free to those already on v4)
The AFP changes in 10.4.6 will cause you some issues with your Windows SFM volumes.
If you mount the volumes SMB, you may have better luck.
The other suggestion is to work the files locally to your desktop (on the Mac) and copy them to the server when you're finished.

Mavericks Broke connection with Windows Home Server - SMB

I have the original version of Windows home server and all connections were fine over SMB, but after the upgrade to maverick I cannot connect to my shares.
Before I used the guest account, so I created an addtional account for testing. I can see this account get locked out on the WHS, so I know its talking to it.
I have 6tb of photos and itunes data on my server and looking for any way possible to configure my imac to connect again. When I try now there is no error, the user name and pw box just shakes and produces no errors.
Please help
Thanks,
Tom

Reinfire,
I tried your terminal window patch but it failed to solve my issue. Most people seem to be trying to connect to NAS devices from their Macs. In my case, all my data is on a Drobo hanging off my Mac Pro. I've been using SMB to share video from my Mac to both a Boxee Box and a Raspberry Pi running Openelec (XBMC). While both these devices can handle afp, the old Boxee Box is less than astute with afp so SMB was the method of choice for stability.
Anyway, both devices can no longer see the SMB shares off the Mac Pro, even after your patch. After runnig you patch, I restarted and the nsmb.conf file is created. But, no luck on connecting with these apparently non SMB2 devices.
I can change all my shares over the afp but this will take a lot of button pushing that I'd rather not do. Any suggestions for this scenario?

VPN client using CLI on windows 2003 server

Hello, first time poster here. Have an interesting issue I'm hoping to find help with.
I'm using the VPN client (I have version 4.8.01.0300) in CLI mode (called from a script) to connect to a remote site. Got the connection setup and all working fine except for one small detail. Hopefully I can explain this well...
I want this connection to run fully unattended as it will run numerous times per day, every day. The issue is the little pop-up message saying "VPN has disconnected".
When I first setup the connection, it was on windows XP and everything was golden. I could issue the command : vpnclient connect <name> user <userid> pwd <passwd> sd, <other stuff>, vpnclient disconnect and all worked as expected.
Then I installed same stuff on Windows 2003 server. Issuing same connect command gives error: "user authentication failed". Then I discovered that if I first launched the vpn client GUI then the CLI command, it would connect without error - but then the "disconnected" pop-up window came along.
So - can I either:
- Run vpn client in CLI mode without the GUI running.
- Suppress the pop-up.
Thanks in advance.
Scott

Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes. Works fine
with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
Oracle ora-12154 errors.
32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server. The problem seems to
relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
rather annoyed.
SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
suggested patch. I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/ gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.

Can't connect my Mac to my Windows 2003 server shares via SMB

Hello all
So my problem is I have my Powerbook running 10.4.7 with all the latest security updates and I cannot connect it to any shares on my Windows 2003 domain controller. Everything was working fine and I could connect to the server with no problem till about a month ago. However, I can still connect to the Windows 2000 domain controller with no problem. The error I get when trying to connect is "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". I did try clearing out my keychain, making sure all of the authentication policies on the server are correct (disabling the digitally sign commucations always policy), and I even went as far as editing a .conf file in /etc/ folder that allows for passwords to be sent without any encryption (I forget exactly what I changed but I can post that later when I get home from work) and none of this has worked. I unfortunately don't have another mac to test out connecting to the Windows 2003 server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to try and get this issue resolved?

TO share out as afp you need to have file and print services for macintosh installed on the 2k3 Server.
O n the main management console click on the shares icon on the left. then click the "link" create a share. The wizard will guide you through the process. i forget the order of progression but i beleive its the second or third part in the dialog it will have 2 check boxes, the top one checked by default, is to share it for windows/smb the second (lower box) is to share as AFP for mac check this box and change the share name if you like. then proceed through the rest of the wizard. Make sure you configure the security/sharing prefs for access.. we typically remove the everyone policy and add one for Authenitcated Users, and ofcourse Administrators.

Connecting to a Windows 2003-Server with a MacBook

Hi guys!
I'm planning on buying a MacBook anytime soon. The main purpose of this investment is work at school. Therefore I have to ensure that everything works perfectly, otherwise I would have to buy a Windows notebook (in fact not the kind of decision I wanna make).
We have a Windows 2003-Server and every other pupil can easily connect to this server with a Windows XP machine wirelessly. They can use printers, surf the Internet and use all the network harddrives (like F: for everyone; P: for projects were only certain groups have access to certain folders; and Z: your home-directory where only the very user has access).
I need to make sure 2 things:
a) When I connect to the network via Airport, does the system ask me for my account, so I can have (or have not) access to files I am entitled to?
b) Does everything work fine under normal condition?
I am aware that something could happen nobody could have forseen, but as the MacBook is a bigger investment than a € 700 windows crapbook, I would like to make sure that everything should work seemlessly.

Thanks Jay, It now auto log's in but it's still not acting like a networked drive - when saving an attachment etc I still can't save direct to the server as it doesn't appear in the listing.. I need to save to desktop or doc's then manually drag it into the server... this is a pain...
Any further ideas.

Slow connection with OS X 10.7 while trying to access a Windows 2003 server

Good afternoon:
I am a systems engineer in an enterprise environment that is now deploying Macs and I have been finding that the Macs have a very slow connection to the Windows 2003 server; even after installing all necessry components.
All of the Macs access network services via Active Directory
The issue is the connection speed when trying to access folders on the servers.
Does anyone have any ideas as to speed up this connectivity issue?

Did you resolve this issue? Any links to anwers to this?
thank you.

Windows 2003 server access getting slow from Windows7/8 client

We have Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. If I try to access through Windows 7 or Windows 8 client PC then I am getting very slow access. Slow access in terms of, if I am taking remote desktop of server [OR] if I directly browse server directory [OR] even
accessing any web application on server it is very slow.
But if I am accessing though any Windows-XP base client or even other servers having Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 then access in good.
But interesting thing is even we have other Windows 2003 server for which I am getting normal response.
Can someone guide me on the same? I am not able to understand the root cause of it.
