Problem when connecting to a Windows 2003 server

Hello folks.
I've been trying to connecting to my 2003 server from my Mac MINI with no luck. My Mac sees the domain and I get prompted for user ID and password, which I do have administrator privileage. But after plugging in my user ID and password, it returned with the error message saying that it can't find the original item and gave me the option to fix or delete.
However, I have no trouble connecting to my Mac's shared folder from the Win server at all.
Any thoughts?

Hi James, Welcome to discussions.
Have you checked the digitally sign settings?
have a look on the 2003 server and:
The following options should be set in the Security Options section of the Local Policy.
The settings dealing with SMB and Secure Channel are of particular importance if Microsoft Networking and Resource Sharing are to be used.
Note: These policy settings just create and set registry keys (that is, they are just a pretty interface for the recommended registry keys settings).
Digitally Sign Client Communication (Always) Disabled
Digitally Sign Client Communication (When Possible) Enabled
Digitally Sign Server Communication (Always) Disabled
Digitally Sign Server Communication (When Possible)
See if that helps.
Cheers.

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.

Is there anyway to take a windows 7 computer that the user is completely setup and configured and connect to a windows 2003 server

I have spent hours setting up a windows 7 computer with programs cad files and other software and I would like to log in to a windows 2003 server
without having to start over. Is there anyway to do that without losing anything?
Scott

Hello, I can't believe your the only one that answered my question.
What I have is 7 pc's that I bought in 2007 they are "HP M9077C" I am trying to
upgrade all of them the same way. I upgraded the memory to 8gb, replaced the
video cards to nvidia quadro k600 and installed windows 7 ultimate on all of them.
I then took just 1 of the computers and installed all of the software and changed the
settings to my preference which took hours to do. After I had the 1 computer
configured exactly the way that I wanted it I made a mirror image backup of it.
I then took that backup and restored it on the rest of the 6 computers that I have.
Now here comes the problem I need to be able to hook up the computers to my
windows 2003 small business server. When my IT guy did that he said that he had
to create a different user to connect to the file server when he did that my desktop
was empty and all of the settings are on the original user. Is there anyway to keep
the settings from the original user and connect to the file server so I don't have to
spend hours on each one of the computers. If there is a way to copy the original
user's settings that would be great. I also need to change the user name on each
computer. Please let me know.
Thanks Scott

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.

Problems with Tuxedo8.0 under Windows 2003 Server

Hello All.
Could you please help me?
When we were choosing which OS to install on our Tuxedo developers server we
decided
to try Windows 2003 server. We did not suppose that we could have any
problems
with this choise. But we have!
We use it with DB 7.2 workgroup edition and Tuxedo 8.0 (PatchLevel 172).
When one of server processes crashes (for example by exit(1) or by
exception)
(it happend not so rarely, because this server is actively used in
development
and testing processes) we cannot restart this server process!
When I write "restartsrv -i SrvId" in command line nothing happens.
When I write "tmboot -i SrvId" it says "Duplicate server".
When I write "tmshutdown -i SrvId" it just hangs and I have to wait for 10
minutes
while it says "CMDTUX_CAT:949: WARN: Shutdown failed. 0 processes stopped."
Tuxedo WebAdministration conlsole says almost the same - "Failed to
deactivate SRVGROUP/200
(still in state ACTIVE)-10:CMDTUX_CAT:1689: ERROR: Could not shutdown any
servers".
As a result any server crash (including expected) leads to 15 minutes
waiting!!!
As you understand it cound not be accepted!... and it is very annoying. :-)
This problem never happened under Windows 2000 server (a week before I
returned from site
installation where this software works fine under Windows 2000 server).
How can we solve this problem?
Or should we downgrade our OS to Windows 2000?
With regards,
Dmitry.

Dmitry,
Try a bbclean from the tmadmin command line to clean up the BBL so you will be
able to restart the server using the tmboot command.
In addition to this check the values for SCANUNIT and SANITYSCAN in the ubbconfig.
The observation that it takes 15 minutes for TUXEDO to discover that your server
has crashed suggests they have values that might be too high.

Error=2 in jre1.6.0_07 when calling cmd /c -- Windows 2003 server 5.2

Must be very simple. Although, I do not where else to check.
A java application allows opening the OS shell and executing programs. For Windows
(without further details) a "cmd /c" prefix is recomended in the config file. None
for Linux.
The application runs the shell from a path relative to its configurations file,
for which I have defined "../scripts".
Thus a .wsf script located at MyAppPath\scripts can be executed as "Cscript //NoLogo MyScript.wsf". It works OK under XP Profesional, Version 2002, Service Pack3, jre1.6.0_07, JAVA_HOME defined. The application log reports a proper application start up using Java VM 10.0b-23. and execute the shell as many times as called without any problem.
The applications works also fine for every aspect on Windows 2003 server 5.2, except for calling the os Shell. The following error is displayed:
Cannot run program "cmd /c Cscript //NoLogo Myscript.wsf" (in directory C:\MyAppPath\script"): CreateProcess error=2 the system can not find the file specified.
Of course, the file "Myscript.wsf" is there...
In both cases (XP and 2003), CompSpec is set to %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe and PATHEXT inlcudes ".WSF".
Any help will be most appreciated.

I have no experience with cscript, but by typing cscript in a command prompt i get:

IMac connected to a Windows 2003 Server: Authentication Issue

Hi. I was wondering if anyone in the community might have found a solution for this problem or could offer suggestions.
In our in-house corporate graphics department we are connecting three recently purchased iMacs to a Windows Server 2003 file server. We copy files over to the network to share with one another and for backup purposes. Everything was working fine until...the IT guys upgraded to new file server hardware and installed Windows Server 2003 onto it (they claim it's the exact same version of the Server OS as was used before). Now the iMacs cannot copy files to the network drive. The system displays a message that we do not have sufficient permission to change "folder name". I have checked "Get Info" on the file and/or folder and I'm not listed as someone having access to the item. I add myself but my name does not show up in the list. The exact same problem is occurring with all three iMacs. We can log-on to the iMac just fine--connecting to our corporate user account stored on the server (we're not logging on to a local account). All of our user accounts allow us to administer the iMacs. The PowerMac G5s in our department are unaffected by this glitch. This leads us to believe it's some combination between the Windows Server software and the iMacs. Any one have any ideas? Our IT guys don't know Macs. They are trying, but not making any progress. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Greg

Hi BH. Here's our IT Manager's response:
"Greg,
I hear the change worked. This is an issue because what I essentially did was give you access to change permissions on the file server. What that tells me is that your Mac wants to copy it’s local permissions to the file server. That is a bit of an issue. Since Zach was able to copy over files under his login I have a feeling that you may have set a security setting on under your user profile that tell the OS to copy it’s local permissions to the SMB server. Can you think of anything along those lines that may be set? Did you alter the local permission on your folders in any way? I double checked the old file server had the same exact settings as the new file server up until just now."
Once the permissions issue arose (the morning after they installed the new Server) I selected my network folder and checked the permission settings under "Get Info." I did not see my name as someone having access to the folder so I attempted to add myself, but my name never appeared in the list. Do you think my attempt to add myself created the issue described above? They keep assuring me that the server settings are exactly the same on the new server as the old one. I have no choice but to take their word that they have checked everything that could be a variable on the two servers because I can't check myself.
Does the IT manager's response spark any ideas?
Thanks for your time and thoughts on this issue.

Connecting to a windows 2003 server... help!

i can connect to the server fine using go, connect to server.
I want to automatically connect though when the ethernet cable is plugged in, like with a normal mapped network drive on a windows laptop.
The server is not an online server - it's directly connected through a router into my machine btw.
I've spoke to a Apple guy who pointed me here as the only way they knew to sort it didn't work - i.e. system preferences, user accounts, login options, network account server: join - but the server isn't recognised for some reason even though i'm already connected using the Go, connect to server option.... ????
Help needed please...

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...

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.

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.

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.

Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

The issue is as follows:
The Imac is connected to the windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Trying to access Windows 2003 Server share with Mac OS 9.04

Hi
I cannot connect to a Windows 2003 Server share on my 2003 domain. I can access the share with my MacBook (10.4.9) & my G4. I have File Services for Mac installed & can ping the server from all OS 9 Mac.
Can anyone give me some tips?
MacBook Administrator

How are you trying to connect to the server? Via AppleTalk or IP? (What utility are you using to ping the server from the Mac OS 9 machine?) Since you're not providing any information about error messages you're receiving or the symptoms of your problem I can only provide the following information.
If you're selecting the server from a list in the Chooser and clicking the OK button then the connection should switch to IP automatically. Make sure your Mac has TCP/IP enabled and is receiving an IP address or that you have an appropriate IP address hard-coded. You can try forcing an IP connection by entering the IP address or DNS name of the server in the Chooser rather than selecting it from the list in the Chooser.
Or you can try forcing an AppleTalk connection by selecting the server in the Chooser and holding down the Option key as you click the Connect button. If you're asked to enter your name and password then you're communicating properly with the server. This is, however, a very slow connection compared to IP.
Finally, be sure you update to the latest version of Mac OS 9, which is 9.2.2 <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288>.
Hope this helps! bill

We could both be right on this one; it depends on your setup. By default, if you're running a domain then the Domain Controller is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Policy Setting: not defined*
That defaults to the Group Policy setting, which is enabled.
The local computer group policy for Windows Server 2003 is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Security Setting: disabled*
I'm referencing this KB article on Microsoft's website: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887429>.
This does not take into consideration that you may have upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003.
Regardless, you seem to have already eliminated this as a possibility as you mention below.
In my case, user can connect to win2003 server without problem in the same LAN 192.168.8.x. If connect it from remote lan 192.168.10.x (e.g. smb://192.168.8.250/artwork) error -36 will appear. Since remote lan is connected to local lan by secured VPN, all traffic or any ports are allowed to passe through VPN.
Rather than a server or client problem I would speculate your VPN connection is the problem. Do you have port TCP 445 open or blocked at your VPN concentrator? I believe this needs to be open.
Hope this helps!
