Sharing an IFS folder on AS/400 with a windows server

Hi to all,
I need to share an IFS folder with a windows server. I have created an AS/400 NetServer file share by using Operations Navigator, with no problems.
From windows server, I create a Map Network drive, setting an AS/400 user and password. Then I can see the IFS folder on AS/400. The problem, is that I only can use that drive when I am logged on Windows server with the user that I have created the drive.
I need that the drive is always available for the windows server, in order that a SAP instance that runs in the windows server can use that drive. I need to use that drive in Tr. OAC0 for Basic path and Archive path.
Perhaps, is there another option of Mapping a network drive?
Some ideas, how I can do that?
Regards

Hi Eduardo ,
I would think if you set up the network drive with the <SID>ADM user ID or <SID>NN user ID/password, it may be more helpful as the SAP system runs under those user ID's...Creating these User ID on windows with the same user name/password will also help.
But before we get on to that.I believe you are trying to set up DMS/archivelink on a file based system.
Why don't you do it on MAXDB ? That is much more stable and will give you probably better managebility and performance.
In a file system , there would be one folder created for each document..
Its gets messier very easily...huge number of folders..
Just to let you know, content server as far as I know, is not yet supported on iseries.
Thanks

Oracle Database XE with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

I would like to find out if Oracle Database XE works with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
If not, is there any other Oracle Open Source Database version can work with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am installing W2k8 R2 Domain Controller with Oracle Express 10g.
This is the tip to make it work.
Go to the installer OracleXE.exe -> Right click + Select Properties + Compatibility + Run this program in Compatibility Mode fot + Windows 2003 Sp1
Then Select Run this Program as administrator.
After this run the OracleXe.exe and it will install properly.
Remember to double check that everything works fine.

How do I share a folder over the internet with Mountain Lion server?

I am new to using formal servers. In Snow Leopard I was able to use web sharing to serve a small website and if I wanted to share a folder with someone I would just provide the person I wanted to share a file with the path to the file inside the sites directory. With Mountain Lion this functionality was removed from the sharing section of system preferences.
I purchased mountain lion server and was able to restore the website serving ability, but I haven't been able to figure out how to share a folder. I am still looking over what documentation I can find, but for the most part it just tells me to set up the services without telling me how. Any assistance would be helpful. Networking is not my area of expertise.
Best Regards,
David Finell

I purchased server to assist with this as I am unfamiliar with the command line protocols for using apache. Because of the UNIX architechture of OSX and I presume apache, I am uncomfortable using the command line for fear of causing serious problems.
Unfortunately, the documentation that I have seen for mountain lion server is wanting in either its completeness or layout/functionability. To summarize the server instructions as I understand them. It just says to configure it and my system to meet my requirements without telling me how.
I am confident that both the apache command line and server are capable of accomplishing what I was able to do before under snow leopard. I just haven't figured out how.
I was able to provide a link to family and clients like http://ipaddress/~user/folder
This no longer works.

How to install unlimited strength policy files with 2003 windows server

Hi all,
I am working on encryption AES 256 bit key encryption.
128 is default encryption key.But for use 256 bit encryption key need to add unlimited strength policy file with jdk.
That is working fine on windows xp.
Now problem
But when i run on client machine with operating system windows 2003 server standard.
I replaced all files under folder Java\jdk1.6.0_10\jre\lib\security with files which i am using on windows XP.
Restarted the computer after update files but on windows server 2003 256 bit key encryption not working.
Giving following exception

Phonefactor with RRAS(Windows Server 2003) - VPN client timeout after 20 seconds -- too fast!

[Note that I have previously posted this question on Experts Exchange... but have not found a solution yet].
We are a small business and would like to switch to two-factor authentication for VPN connections. We spent nearly a year helping Barracuda debug their small business VPN appliance and finally they took their boxes back and gave us back our money - they
just couldn't get file sharing to work consistently with some new firmware they had to install due to a patent case.
So... now we are trying Phonefactor.
Our VPN setup is RRAS on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller.
We have installed Phonefactor, enabled it as a Radius server, and configured RRAS to point to Phonefactor for Radius authentication. We configured phonefactor to send text messages for authentication, as we figured that would be less disruptive than a phone
call.
It all works except... the timeout for VPN clients is only 20 seconds! By the time we receive the text message on a cell phone, sometimes there is only 5 or 6 seconds to get the six digit code typed into a reply on the cell phone... and unless we are really
nimble, that is frequently not enough time!
When the VPN client times out, it gives an Error 718 "The connection was terminated because the remote computer did not respond in a timely manner."
How can we increase the timeout on the VPN clients, so we can more reliably enter the authentication code in a reply back to phonefactor?
Things we have tried:
1) Connecting (PPTP) from different Windows clients to see if we get different timeout limits. So far we have tried several Windows 7 boxes and a Windows Server 2003 as the client, but in all cases the timeout is 20 seconds.
2) On the windows clients: Searching through the PPTP client settings to see if there is one labeled "connection timeout". So far we have found nothing.
3) On the windows 2003 server: Modifying the RRAS Radius Server time-out to be 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 300 seconds. We've tried restarting RRAS after these changes, but the client connection timeout is still 20 seconds.
4) In the phonefactor configuration: Searching through the radius server settings to see if there is one labeled "connection timeout". So far we have found nothing.
5) Using NTRadPing to connect directly to the phonefactor radius server. With NTRadPing we were able to wait more than 60 seconds without a timeout from phonefactor. So we don't *think* at this point that the issue is within phonefactor.
6) We have asked phonefactor support, but their response is "hmmm... good question, we don't know, that sounds like a problem with your vpn client". And they could well be correct.
7) Search the web for how to increase either the stock windows VPN client timeout, or the RRAS radius authentication timeout. No luck so far.
8) Try this registry hack:
http://windowsitpro.com/networking/solving-ras-718-error. Didn't help.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Hi fdc2005,
Thanks for the post.
However, generally, we first type User Name, Password, then click connect to establish the VPN connection. Such as:
Therefore, I have a little confusion about the timeout you mentioned. Would you please provide us more details.
Regarding error 718, please check if the following could help:
If you have a third-party VPN server which does not support MS-CHAPv2 as an authentication method and supports only MS-CHAPv1, you will need to use either CHAP or PAP to connect from the Windows Vista VPN client until the server you use starts supporting MS-CHAPv2.
Steps to follow for resolution:
(1) Check if the Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) is configured to allow connections with MS-CHAPv2
(2) Check if the RADIUS server policy supports MSCHAPv2 (This step is needed if you control access to clients using Remote Access Policies on the IAS/NPS server)

Troubleshooting Vista VPN problems.
Hope this helps.

Problems with DMProxy (Window Server)

Hi,
I just searched the Web the last days but I don't find any common article or solution to my problem. Since about I think four Weeks my iMac began to fade out the screen I become blue (10.6.8) or black (10.9.1) and I thought it will be because of the temperature (PowerSupply 80 degree, GPUDie 70 degree and CPU 55 degree, but this was since ever if some processes like eyeTV, Chrome, Safari, iTunes, iPhoto running at the same time), or because of an hardware fault of the monitor. But for now I think it is not.
I looked at the konsole and it shows up that every time the screen gets dark for one, two up to ten seconds,the windows server is starting new. But I don't know why.

I thought it could be the color profile but as I changed it. I had no success the randomize anoying black screen sometimes with three to six times repeating will arise serval times an hour.
So, I changes the OS from good runing 10.6.8 to the experimental 10.9.1 Mavericks (iOS sh.t with no spces etc.) and I installed a 500 GB SSD from samsung to reduce the heat (which brought nothing, because the CPU, GPU and the PowerSupply are the heating reason) but with no effect to the temperature and the turning black of the screen.
the screen also turns black or get a respawn if I turn on the internal fans to "high" so that the upper components cool down to about 40, 45 and 50 degrees. So, it has nothing to do with the temperature. If I have the time I will install windows 7 the next days with bootcamp to determine that it is wether an hardware or an software error/problem. If the iMac don't show the problem on windows it defently ist a software/OS problem.
At that time I am at the end of my knowledge concering the iMac and Apple OS and I hope the somebody could help me. Sorry for my rusty english,
best regards,
Christian Ullmann

Mac Mini with Mavericks Windows Server Access Permissions Problem

We have a Mac Mini that was running Lion. This machine was joined to our Active Directory network using Beyond Trust’s PowerBroker Identity Services add-on. This had been working fine with no issues.
We recently had to change the permissions on the file server (Windows Server 2012) for one of the directory branches. The share permissions are set to Modify and the file permissions were set so the user of the Mac had full control over the files.
The Mac then started experiencing a problem where it could not open some of the files on the network this only affected certain files or folders. A couple of other machines we have running Mavericks who are not domain joined had no problems accessing the files when connected to the share as the same user.
I then upgraded the Mac to Mavericks after removing the Beyond Trust software. The Mac was then re-joined to the domain using the native support of Mavericks. This fixed the problem temporarily and by this all seems fine for maybe one or two hours and then suddenly you cannot access files anymore.
When I looked at the permissions of a file that could not be opened it was showing the same user name twice. One with r/w access and the other with Custom. If the Mac was re-booted the problem would disappear again for another hour or so but then come back.
Thinking the issue was with the AD integration yesterday I took the Mac off the domain and just left it as standalone connecting to the server. The local user accounts that were from the AD user have been deleted so there is now only Administrator, Guest (disabled) and the user. This has not fixed the problem.
What I have noticed is that while it is working when you look at the permissions on the file through finder they say “You have custom access”. When it is broken the permission change to showing the user multiple times, etc.
I have reset the permissions on the server a number of times and it makes no difference.
I am assuming that when it is working the Mac is reading the permissions correctly from the Windows Server and then it suddenly decides to use some other set of permissions it is getting locally to the files.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks

Both OS X and OS X Server can host Subversion (SVN), yes. That's been possible for many years, and there are directions posted around the 'net for downloading and installing and setting up the Subversion server.
Distributed source code control packages (and links from there) — such as Mercurial and particularly git — would be some of the more common and newer technologies used here. These too can be installed on OS X and OS X Server.
On the 'net, Subversion, git, Mercurial, Bizaar and other distributed packages are all platform-independent. The remote clients don't know and don't care about the type of server hosting the repository.
As for your Mavericks Server question — and quoting directly from this Apple web page, and thus permitted to be posted here — "The new features in Xcode Server make it easier than ever for a Mac or iOS development team to create robust, reliable software, thanks to continuous integration, testing, and repository hosting services." (Beyond this quote and any other officially-public Apple statements or public Apple presentations, you'll have to be a registered Apple Developer to gather more information and potentially access to the previews, as OS X Mavericks and Mavericks Server and Xcode 5 are all presently under NDA.)

Sharing the Canon printer on my iMac with a Windows Vista PC

Sorry guys,
You must have been asked this many times before. I just cannot share my Canon iP4500 with a friend's PC running Vista. I have installed Bonjour on his PC, but haven't got a clue how to access it on Vista. The PC and the iMac both connect to a wireless router, but trying to make them talk to each other is proving very difficult!
If someone here has the knowledge and patience, what I would like is a step-by-step guide. Do I need to install the Canon printer driver onto the PC? The assistance on the Apple web site is very sparse in this area, to say the least!
Thank you in advance.
Graham

Hi Graham,
In the Sharing pref pane on the Mac, are Windows sharing and Printer Sharing both enabled?
Not positive on the PC end, but I think Printer Sharing should not be enabled.
Bonjour on the PC is accessed by right clicking on a Connection, at least in XP.
See if this is some small help...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060414230039896

I have tried many approaches to sharing my mac based printer ( usb connect ) with my Windows 7 Toshiba including bonjour. No can do. Bonjour recognizes a printer that doesn't exist.

Lion printer sharing problem. Using Epson Artisan 810 usb cabled to Imac Lion 10.7.2. Can't get my Windows 7 computer to print using bonjour over my network. 1st Windows recognizes Artisan 810, then it shifts to a non exixtent computer. Whatever, no printing in windows7

Lion works fine, however first do as I instructed to ensure the settings are correct on the Mac then make sure you run Software Update on the Mac to see that you have the most up-to-date drivers. If you do then the problem is almost certainly a Windows 7 problem. You have to make sure the counter part to Sharing is turned on correctly on the Windows box. Because I don't speak Windows I can't really direct you however I'm sure if you Google something like Printer Sharing Lion & Windows 7 you will find some instructions.

Backup and synching with a Windows Server, what 3rd party software do I need.

I have a Macbook Air. We just got a new Server, a Dell PowerEdge T420 running Windows Small Business Server 2011 CAL Suite.
I am told my Macbook Air will not Snych to backup files from a defined folder (like My Documents) and e-mail in Outlook. Mac's can't do that.
I don't believe that is true. Can anyone give me direction. Is there some 3rd party software that allows Mac to do this?

Hello Charlene,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Need help getting filezilla ftp to work with a windows server

Trying to connect to a windows based server through FTP, I've downloaded Filezilla when I launch it takes several minutes to ask me for a address and username... I input but nothing happens. I would like to use MAC ftp option but I'm not sure it works upstream like I want it to...
Please Help.

This doesn't appear to have anything to do with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Macs, so this probably isn't the most appropriate forum for this question. I'd suggest you ask in the Mac OS X 10.4 Networking forum; you'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there.

Portable Home Directory WITH a Windows Server/AD and WITHOUT OSX Server/OD

Hi All,
I'm pushing the envelope here a bit, but here's the situation:
- Windows 2003 AD Servers
- Windows 2003 Home Directory File Server
- MacOS X 10.5.2 client (on an Intel iMac)
Everything works fine (once you add the AD server's IP/domain name into /etc/hosts and remove the dashes from the name of the client you're trying to join anyway). I can login, logout, run all the Apps I need. Get fine throughput from the server.
The problem comes when I try to turn on Portable Home Directories (Mobile Accounts) for users of the client. I believe the client is trying to use "Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync", and so is trying to SSH into the Windows machine. This, perhaps unsurprisingly, is not working.
Is there any way to turn this off without using Open Directory (even there it seems to be part of Server Admin General Prefs and not Managed Preferences)?

Portable Homes work just fine with non-Apple servers. It just that you will not get the performance improvements of 10.5 server's "Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync".
If Portable Homes are not working for you file a bug with Apple.

TS2972 Hi, can I share my mac music with a windows server (digifi hush)?

I have a music library on my mac and another one on a DigiFi HUSH. To operate the hush I use an Chorus or Kinsky on my iPad and my iPhone.

I have the 24" LED Cinema Display.

Need help setting up a shared /Library/Fonts folder for font sharing

Hi,
I have a problem setting up a shared /Library/Fonts folder on my OSX 10.5.5 server that gets automounted on the OSX 10.5.x clients.
While I managed to get the folder to show up automatically under /Network/Library/Fonts on the clients, the fonts in these folders do not show up in Font Book on the client systems. Plus, it seems like there is some sort of language mismatch, since I am using a German OSX installation. While the shared /Library/Fonts folder does show up under the "Network" area (where the servers are listed), it does not connect correctly on the "/Netzwerk" folder that OS X creates automatically. In fact there are 2 folders named "/Netzwerk" on my startup drive root directory, one that reads "/Network" when looking at it in the terminal, and one named "/Netzwerk". The /Network one does have a working link to the /Library folder, and the /Netzwerk one does only contain something looking like an alias of /Library, but it does not allow any access to this alias.
If anybody did manage to get this Netowrk "/Library/Fonts" to work I would be happy for some feedback. I am simply not sure if this is related to a localization bug, or if I am doing something wrong here. The fact that the folder and the fonts does show up correctly under the network portion of the sidebar seems to indicate that my setup is correct, but still the fonts do not work.
Any ideas, or maybe a step-by-step description on how to set this up would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Floh

Hi, Sorry I don't have an answer for you. But how did you get to share /Library/Fonts? I was trying to do the same thing by using "File Sharing" in Server administrator. But under volumes, I don't see my root directory "/". So there is no way that I can share any of my folders under "/".
Thanks.

[Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.

is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:
Figure 1.
In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
Produces
You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:

2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.

2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
Method 1: Using Server Manager
1) Open Server Manager, click
Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)

Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
