Rename Default Server Shared Folder?

We would like to rename one of the default shared server folders in WS2012e (the "Company" folder, to be specific). It appears like this can be done via a simple right-click "rename" command. Are there any problems or consequences
in doing this? The Company shared folder is empty and unused, by the way.
Thanks.
John

Hi John,
I test it works in below way:
1. Change the registry key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows Server/StroageService/Folders, you can easily find the entry for Company and replace all string "Company" with new name.
2. In DFS manangment, find the Company entry, and Click rename folder.
3. Restart service wsestoragesvc.
4. In Dashborad, right click the Company folder with new name. Click recreate.

2 questions: default to shared folder and switcher sort order

I've got two Finder questions to which I haven't found an answer:
1) Can the "Finder>Preferences>General>New Finder windows open" option ever be set to a folder on a file server? When I try to do this, I can select the shared folder, but the pop-up menu reverts to the previous selection (e.g. Home). I suspect that since a server cannot be guaranteed to be accessible, the Finder refuses to allow it to be assigned as a default location.
2) I've got a switcher friend who would like to replicate in Finder windows the Windows Explorer behavior of sorting all folders to the top of the list. Is there a utility that will do this? List View sorted by Kind works for this chap only if there are no items with a Kind of alias, application, etc. that will sort higher than "Folder".

1) the answer appears to be yes but if you ever try to open a new window when the server isn't available the preference reverts to your computer.
2) no, at this time there is no Finder pref nor utility that sorts folders to the top. Two solutions exist but both are kludges. First, name every folder with a leading space, this forces the sort to the top. Second, PathFinder is a Finder semi-replacement which does allow the option of sorting folders to the top. PF is an interesting product but because it doesn't have all of Finder's AppleScript behaviors it cannot perfectly replace the Finder and having, in effect, two Finders is annoying.

Messaging Server (sharing folder) searching LDAP is not indexed, why?

There's an feature of "sharing a mail folder"
in JMS (Java Messaging Server), whereby
a user could share a folder with another user.
But when a user (uid) is entered into
the "Admission List" box, and the Add button
is pressed, it failed with some error messages
Invalid user and Admin Limit exceeded.
I've asked in the JMS forum and Shane said
this:
The "Administrative limit exceeded" error agrees with the Notes=U and etime=12 in the LDAP access log file. The problem is that the search is not indexed and therefore taking long enough to run foul of the timelimit. You will need to consult with Directory Server experts to determine why this search is not indexed and resolve that.
Could someone enlighten me on what I've
missed out when I've configured the Ldap
server during my installation of the JES system

Here are the extracts of the access and error logs when the "Add" button (after a uid was entered into the box) was clicked.
Invalid user error line appeared on screen
Error log:
WARNING<20805> - Backend Database - search is not indexed base='o=bunet' filter='(&(&(mailUserStatus=active)(objectClass=inetmailuser)(mailHost=jsms.our.domain)(uid=cmtsang))(!(mgmanHidden=true)))' scope='sub'

Automaticly sync photos from iphone to shared folder on windows server 2012 r2

Hey,
I'm making photo's of cars for a company and we got a server running locally. I make photo's with my iPhone and i used to use dropbox for auto syncing pictures with the dropbox cloud and access from my pc.
Since dropbox is too slow and we got a server running with big amounts of storage i want my iPhone to sync with my server instead of my dropbox. i already got a shared folder and a network drive for this.
Thanks in advance.
Marc

The slow is more than likely your cell and or network service provider however this one may help.

Saving to shared folder on server: Item [...] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space – even though there is!

Hi all,
I have a strange error with my mac mini mavericks/server setup. Everything is updated to the latest software. I have a promise pegasus R4 over thunderbolt connected as my data harddrive-raid and use my server as a filesharing setup (I also use other services such as webserver, timemachine, dns, open directory, vpn, messages, caching).
I have about 10 users connected to this server that authenticate through their respective user accounts on the server and are all in the same group. Recently users startet complaining about a disk full error showing up in finder (or any other program they use), when they tried saving stuff on a shared folder on the server. I am not really sure what this is. The strange thing is that the error is not consistent, meaning some users can save and others cant, even though they are all in the same group and that group has read and write privileges according to the file sharing settings. When I use finder to propagate the rights on the shared folder, sometimes that helps and all of the sudden the user can save his file again. Also I have found that the user can save very small files, but not larger files (>1mb). The harddisk containing the shared folder has still several TB free (its the promise pegasus R4) and I can save files on it from some other computers or from the server itself…
Basically I have no idea what is causing this and I don’t really found anything alarming in the logs so far. I would appreciate any kind of hint, how to come close to what is causing this.
Thanks and all best

BUMP, anyone? I still have this problem...

How to setup a custom background in network shared folder Server 2012

We have a Server 2012 acting as Domain server, and also has a shared folder. The client computers are Windows 8.1. Now I need to set up a picture as the background of the shared folder, and I want all client computers to see that picture when open it. How
can I do that?
I tried this solution but did not work:
Create a desktop.ini fine inside that folder and put following contents,
[AveFolder]
IconArea_Image="C:\images\folder1.jpg"
Once it is done reboot the machine. This folder will be visible with the sepcified image,
Please help me, thanks guys!

Hi,
As you said it will not work since Windows Vista. I've seen some third party appliations could help change the background of a shared folder.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Default Permissions in Shared Folder

Hi,
we quite often need to pull documents back and forth between two systems. We use the shared folder of the account for this purpose.
The issue I am having is that every new folder which the one user creates, is only read-only accessible to the other user. I've set the top folder (shared to read-write for all (wheel, everyone, winkel), but still all new folders get created with R-W for winkel(=the user),R for wheel and R for everyone.
How do I set it so that all new folders get default R-W for everyone?
Thanks

Unknown Server in Shared Folder

The other day, I had two computers appear in the shared folder of the finder. Both are labeled as pc servers, one named dorothy, the other anirban-pc, if that makes any difference. It doesn't seem to matter where I am, both remain in the list and I can't get rid of them. Any suggestions on how to remove these from the list?

I have the same problem, although the unknown server is shown as Kirsten Ashton's Public Folder. I went into my System Preferences and disallowed access by any network without my password approval. You'll also want to ensure that your 'puter is configured so that all network connections are revealed in your Finder. In my case, while that Kirsten server no longer appears in my Finder, it is listed in my "Recent" folder, so I need to get to the bottom of this.
Lord.Bouf, don't expect an answer from this forum. It doesn't appear to be supportive. I've posted on this forum, as have others, and have received not even an acknowledgement or attempt at response. You'd think a moderator could at least point you in a direction or have some knowledge of Mac Security or operation, in effort to support Mac newbies and keep them from switching back to Windows. Perhaps this forum is un-staffed or understaffed with moderators or skilled moderators. Whatever the reason, you're better off Googling your problem and going to those hits for answers. I wouldn't delay, especially with something like this.
There are numerous responsive forums which are very helpful. Virtualdr.com is one, as well as Cybertechhelp.com, techsupport.com, etc. Google "computer forums help" and I'm sure you'll find the info you need.
Let me know if you find anything. Good luck!

The integration connection between OBIEE and BIP is successfull, and I can connect using Administrator to the BIP
But when I assign a general user using group : XMLP_Admin (define in rpd file and relational table), the user can log in to BIP, but can NOT access the Shared Folder.
the error desc : "Error 500: SRVE0199E: OutputStream already obtained"
Anyone can help ?
Thanks a lot

Did you define Roles and Permissions to the shared folder from BIP Admin?

10.3.9 server - files copied to shared folder don't have proper permissions

When 1 user copies a file to a shared volume the next user cannot save. The copied file is read only. If I choose the enclosing folder or whole volume and propagate permissions (Copy these privileges to enclosing items) then the file is read/write as it should be but the next file copied is read only.
This started when I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the system to a new drive. I know this isn't completely kosher but I done it successfully with this same system before.
This server is still Panther because it has been on for 4.5 years and has not crashed once. It provides AFP and nothing else.
This is a creative team that is kind of freaking out so any help would be greatly appreciated..

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.
