Problems in connecting to Windows SBS 2003 server from OSX 10.5.x

Hi there
Out of many Macs (all 10.5.4) in our network, I have been able to authenticate others to the Active Directory and share File services of the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. But one is having problems. They have authenticated to the active directory correctly from Directory utility.
But when I try to access the SBS server, there is a message "Connecting to smb://myserver..." displayed for indefinite time. Also, I don't find the smb listed in Directory utility. Is that a problem? If so, how can it be fixed? I searched Internet but couldn't find a way to download smb client.
Please help.

It certainly works for me although I have 10.5.2. No special settings, just server address, username and password and it connects. To confirm I just tried it once more a moment ago by creating a new VPN configuration. No problems at all. Is your problem related to a single computer or is it so that now 10.5 computers can connect?

Can't connect to windows sbs 2003 using Leopard...

Hey there...
I'm one of 3 Mac users at our office. We use Windows Small Business Server 2003.
Since upgrading to Leopard, I can no longer access the network shared folders. Didn't even think about this when upgrading. Our IT guy is strictly a Windows user and is no help in the matter.
Any thoughts (other than re-installing Tiger)?

Windows SBS 2003 to Server 2012 Essentials R2

I am tasked with upgrading from an existing SBS 2003 server to 2012 R2 Essentials. Currently the 2012 box is on the network, fresh install but I'm encountering issues from there. I joined it to the domain and now when it boots up it goes through the process
of configuring it to the domain. However, it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues". Could someone provide some guidance? Thanks!
The only error I can find related to it is:

Hi Kieran S,
As Robert mentioned, did you refer to any migration guide?
Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience

-->it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues".
Please refer to Paul's suggestion and check if help you to solve this configuration issue. In addition, you can also refer to following KB.
The Post-Deployment Configuration task may fail after you install the Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Best regards,

Windows sbs 2003 sp1, windows server 2008 R2

I have windows sbs2003 sp1 & windows 2008 R2 Licenses...I want to setup ERP application with SQL on windows 2008 R2, Terminal server windows 2008 R2 for RDP & Ncomputing & E-mail server for Internal and external use. I have IBM Server with
XEON processor and 24 GB RAM.
I am using VMware ESXI 5.5 for virtulisation and installed one instance of WINDOWS SBS 2003 with Exchange for DC & EMAIL...and 2008 R2 one instance as member server for Application server ( ERP with SQL Express ) and another instance with Terminal server
and other application.
Above set up is not working smooth as it was expected..some times DC fails and so Exchange...Can you suggest any better alternative or correct method of implementation.

Hi
You should separate Exchange and DC on the same server and introduce a second DC incase the first one goes down.
Perhaps install Exchange on server 2008 r2.

T200v Server with Windows SBS 2003

Just ordered a TS200v Server, can I install Windows SBS 2003 on this Server or will I need to upgrade to Windows SBS 2008?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
SBS2003 is not officially supported, I think only 2008 is. You can try but might be issue with some drivers.

SBS 2003 server admin rights dont work access denied on VSS and Network settings

Hi I have just taken over support for a company and have inherited a SBS 2003 Server.
The server has had no backup for over a year (when the last admin left).
VSS does not work, so the back does not work, unable to install any other backup as no admin rights.
I want to repair it so I can do a backup to move to a new server.
I did not know the administrator account password (the last admin didn't tell anyone)
So I used a password reset boot cd and then restarted Windows 2003 in Directory Service Restore Mode.
Copied SRVANY and INSTSRV to a temporary folder, mine is called D:\temp. Copied cmd.exe to this folder too. Next ran at a command prompt instsrv PassRecovery "d:\temp\srvany.exe"
next
Started Regedit, and navigated to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PassRecovery
Created a new subkey called Parameters and added two new values:
name: Application
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: d:\temp\cmd.exe
name: AppParameters
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: /k net user administrator 123456 /domain
"123456 is substituted for the password I used" Im not daft enough to publish it lol
Next
opened the Services applet (Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services) and opened the PassRecovery property tab. Checked the starting mode is set to Automatic.
to the Log On tab and enable the option Allow service to interact with the desktop.
Restart Windows normally, SRVANY run the NET USER command and reset the domain admin password.
OK so now I am logged in as administrator but guess what I still don't have admin rights???
I can add new user with admin rights and log in as them but they still don't have admin rights Im totally lost??????????? Help please

I'm thinking the previous tech may have renamed the built-in domain Administrator and then created a new account called 'administrator' with lesser rights? He then used another domain admin account to manage the server.
If so, and given the fact that you don't know any domain admin account usernames or passwords, I think you may be in for a move to a new server without a proper NT backup of the SBS 2003.
However, If you can at least log into the SBS 2003, I wonder if you could download and run DIsk2VHD and create VHDs (not VHDX) of the current SBS 2003 drives, saving them to an external USB drive connected to the server.
You could then 'attach' the VHDs to a Win7 Pro computer and gain access to the files/folders, although not the Active Directory stuff. Moving Exchange and Sharepoint would impose additional pain. For Exchange, you could log
onto workstations as each user and export their Exchange mailboxes as .PSTs. I believe you could do the same with any Public Folders.

Of course, the owner could also have his attorney contact the previous tech and threaten legal action unless he coughs up the correct domain admin username and password. That username and password belong to the owner, not the
tech.

11g R2 - 2 node RAC on Windows X64 2003 Server

hi
we are soon going to start building a 2 node 11g R2 RAC on Windows X64 2003 server
questions
1. In 11g R2, is creating 2 disk group DATA and FRA still considered the best practice?
2. On which disk group should we place the OCR and Voting Disk
3. If there are issues placing OCR and Voting Disk on ASM (there definitely appears to be some concerns / reported issues on this), is using OCFS2 still a viable option?
4. Can someone point us to a document such as step by step installation of 11g R2 RAC on Windows with ASM or best practices 11g R2 RAC on Windows?
thanks

A bit late maybe, but you can check Note 811271.1 - RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows).

SMB connection to Windows 2008R2 File Server Problem

Hello, I recently migrated a file server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008R2. Since the migration, I can no longer use our Canon multi-function printer to scan documents to a network share on the new file server. The share has Everyone, System
and Authenticated Users set to Full control and the NTFS Security is setup for Everyone to modify. The connection from the Canon uses SMB using a domain account called jdoe.
I wondering if the problem is related the the LAN Manger authentication level settings. On the new file server and domain controllers it's set to Network security: LAN Manager authentication level is set to Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM &
NTLM. I have setup a network capture and hope somebody can help me out with determinging the problem.
Here is the detals of the Error

It does seem possible that the NTLMv2 authentication level might be affecting things. So I would give it a try. It's difficult to troubleshoot from the image, but I beleive there is a flag in the negotiate response that might give you a clue.
In either case, I think your question would be better served by our networking group, rather than the group that makes the tool. While we have some general protocol knowledge, we don't have the depth that the experts for each component would have.
If changing that setting doesn't work we can move this thread over to the right place.
Thanks,

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.

Connecting to Windows Small Business Server

I need some help getting my iMac connected to a Windows Small Business Server (SBS). Our office is located in another building that runs a SBS with multiple Windows XP clients. I have a new Intel based iMac located in my house that is getting it's internet access through a linksys access point that is connected to the SBS (the SBS is assigning my iMac a local IP address - DNS server). I have no problems sending email and access the internet from the iMac. On the SBS side of things, I set up a new account on the SBS for the iMac (user name and password). The problem I'm having is when I go to Networks on the iMac, click on the server's name and type in the account information it tells my the alias is not valid. Any help would be great or a link to some web information with direction would be appreciated. Thanks,
Mark

Did you recently upgrade the firmware of the TC?
The new firmware includes a vpn for the BTMM but it is not accessible to users.
I suggest if you port forward the required ports in the TC it should work but the best idea might be to go back a firmware. 7.5.2 works much better with the older TC anyway.

SBS 2003 Server & email

Hi everyone!
This is my third post regarding not being able to set up my email and I found out a little more info today. We are using SBS 2003 for a server and this is maybe why I'm having problems. We use excange and access our email with Microsoft web access away from the office. I was told that I may have to buy additional software and run a seperate computer just for the Blackberry. Does anyone know if this is true? The problem is that I keep getting a message saying a connection could not be made and to check the server name is correct and available. I know the server name is correct. We have a small office and ther will only be 3 of us using Blackberries. I told my boss how nice they are and easy to use so I'm trying to not eat my words. If anyone can help I sure can use it.

I have read your older posts as well. I would suggest calling your service provider BB support, and since you cant set it up, they will transfer you to RIM support, who will give you the root cause of the issue.
Now as a workaround you can create a blackberry.net email address on your BIS account and change the reply to address to your '[email protected]' address and then set up forwarding rule on your exchange server. Hope this helps.

Wyse Thin client not connecting to Windows 2008 R2 server

Configuration
SBS 2011 Server
Windows 2008 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services installed, License Manager installed.
WYSE WT3125SE thin clients with Windows CE 5
I setup the Windows 2008 with Remote Desktop Services and was able to successfully connect the Thin client. Then I installed the License Manger and applied my Open license using User Cals. Was able to login. Next day I get the following
error-"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again" I still can connect fine from other machines even Windows Home Ed.
I remove license server and still was unable to connect. Built a second Windows 2008 R2 server with RDS on it. Was able to connect without issue. Pointed it to the first RDS server license manager and have still been able to connect with
the Thin Client. The thin client can rdp to the SBS server without issue in admin mode, can connect to RDS2 server but not RDS1 with the license manger. So my issue is with the license and so my question is what is it with the license server
running on that server that is keeping thin client from connecting. I even did a reload of RDS1 and tested connecting throughout the process and it worked up until I applied the license and then it stops. And then if I uninstall the license, rds, remove
from domain still not able to connect. Any help would be appreciated.

We had the same problem with older terminals after cloning a 2008R2 rds server and sysprep it.
The original rds server worked fine but when the old terminals connect to the new 1 they come up with the error : Because
of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again"
After reading all of the postings about this issue and tried the reactivate solution of the license server,
I was sure that it had something to do with the x509 certificates that are generated the first time you connect to a valid license server.
What I did, I installed a new license server activate it but did not install licenses on it.
I pointed the defective rds server to the newly installed license server and deleted the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM
Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID
X509 Certificate2
Then reboot.
After the reboot all old terminals can connect fine again. As final step I pointed the rds server to the same license server as the other ones,
reboot and all worked fine.
So conclusion is that when you pont a rds server to a license server that has the new type of licenses on it it will generate the wrong x509 certificates
that are not supported by the older clients, by pointing it first to 1 without any rds calls on it, it generates the older x509 certificates which are compatible with the older rdp clients then the switch to new license server will then not regenerate the
x509 certs so it keeps working.
I hope this helps someone
This issue was driving me crazy so very happy that it is resolved now
Cheers Frits

BO - Problem to connect through windows client

BOE Version: XI Release 2
Client SO: Windows XP Professional SP2
DB: Oracle 10 v 10.2
Problem:
I have a BOE XI Release 2 installed on a server and if I try to connect via WEB everything is perfect but when I try to connect using windows clients (Designer, DESKiu2026)
I am getting the following error:
" No se puede acceder al repositorio. (USR0013)"

I'm using the standard port which is the 6400.
I hope your comments.
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using any authentication ?
If you are using LDAP, then try this...
Symptom
Error logging onto Desktop Intelligence or Designer using LDAP authentication:
"(USR0013) [repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed (The LDAP authentication could not log you on.) Verify your logon information. If your account is under a different domain as o=u2026, please enter your dn (hr=#0x80042a01)."
Reproducing the Issue
Configure LDAP authentication
Error appears from a client computer running Desktop Intelligence or Designer
Logon to Desktop Intelligence or Designer on the server works
Cause
LDAP authentication from the client connects directly to the LDAP directory without passing the CMS
The server has been configured on the firewall, but not the client computer
Resolution
Configure the firewall for the client machines to pass, so that they can reach the LDAP directory

Gigabith connections tiger vs win 2003 server

In my gigabith (certifyd category 6) network I have numerous problems to transfer files from Mac with Tiger 10.4.4 to win 2003 server. After to me it are connected the copy of files leaves correctly, with good speed (40-50MB/sec), but when little lack MB (1/10MB) the connection is slowed down (10-300Kb/sec), and often it is closed with ERROR -36. I have the same problem with 8 G5 and whith SMB or AFP.
Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

we are having the same exact problems. Our Macs are bound to Active Directory and connected via Gigabit. This is happening on machines with 10.3.x - 10.4.5. We authenticate fine, connect to servers fine and transfer speeds are great up until the last bit of the file. It hangs for a few minutes and either makes it or we get disconnected with a -36 error. In Console I keep seeing this:
Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14758, cmd 5
Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14766, cmd 5
Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14774, cmd 5
This one is hard for us to pin down because we just moved facilities so we have new HP gigabit switches, cabling and our domain controllers were updated to Windows 2003.
