SL Server Permission Issues with Windows XP Clients

I'm running into some permissions issues with Snow Leopard Server. I know it's specific to SL Server because I have two Leopard servers and neither one is affected. All servers are set up the same way.
I'm using this SL server as a file server in the golden triangle approach: AD for Users, OD for Groups that supply AD User membership. I have one volume per OD group, and that group has read/write privileges to that volume via the default Server Admin read/write ACL. POSIX permissions are 770 on the top level directory, and ownership is set to the AD user who owns the volume, and the OD group the volume belongs to.
The client is XP SP3. When the client accesses a share on the SL server, their access is correctly granted and they can browse the share and read any files inside the share. They can copy files to the share from wherever. They can open, edit, and save files. However, they cannot rename or delete files within the share. They cannot rename folders, but can delete them. This affects all AD users regardless of the OD group they're in.
I have a few Windows 7 and Vista clients on the network, and these two OS's are not affected by this so the problem is limited to XP. If I create a user in OD, and auth to the sever from the XP client as that user, the problem goes away, so it's something to do with AD and SMB.
I do have a ticket in with Apple support, which was escalated to Engineering. Still waiting on that.
Things I have tried that have not worked/helped:
-Modify the ACL to Full Privileges
-Tried removing/re-adding user to OD group.
-Remove darwin_streams from vfs_objects in smb.conf
stream support = no
ea support = yes/no (tried both ways)
darwin_streams:brlm = no
-Added nt acl support = no to smb.conf
per http://bit.ly/6aYycW
-Animal sacrifice..... ??
Help?

I need to do more testing, but I think the fix is to add "acl check permissions = no" to the bottom of /etc/smb.conf:
; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.

acl check permissions = no

  • Mavericks permission issues with Windows Server deduplicated shares.

    We have a number of 10.9-10.9.3 - Mavericks - machines installed throughout our facility. Much of the user content is pulled from shares stored on our Windows Server 2012 fileservers with deduplication enabled. I have found that files newly written or unoptimized are able to be accessed without issue - read, written, modified, etc. Once the file gets optomized/deduplicated and Windows adds the P & L attributes - sparse and symlink - the Macs running Mavericks begin to have access issues.
    Once the files get deduplicated, users begin receiving read access errors when copying files (see error1 below). This happens when copying to folders within the current folder tree or copying somewhere to the local system. If you 'stop' the copy operation and retry a few more times, it may eventually work for the specific instance but fail again later. I am however, able to copy these files without issue via the terminal.
    Other systems running 10.7 do not experience the same issues and are able to access file server resources without issue. Many of the systems having issues are newer and thus not able to be downgraded to 10.8 or 10.7.
    I have tried finder replacements such as Pathfinder but the results are the same. I know this is at least similar to the issues many Mac users are already experiencing and posting about but I haven't seen it directly linked to deduplication and the attributes written by Windows server. Has anyone seen this issue? Have any solutions been found? 
    Error 1:
    When copying files after the PL attributes have been set by deduplication.
    "One or more items can't be copied to "Foler" because you don't have permissions to read them.
    Via the system.log, I am also seeing the following error when accessing these deduplicated file shares. The reparse point tag listed below is "IO_REPARSE_TAG_DEDUP"
    Reported error:
    "smbfs_nget: filename.ext - unknown reparse point tag 0x80000013"

    This is a 'known problem' as discussed on the MacWindows site, see http://www.macwindows.com/More-on-OS-X-conflicts-with-Windows-Server-Deduplicati on.html
    It appears to still affect Mavericks 10.9.5 at least from the lack of any positive reports to the contrary. It is perhaps a bit late but it would have been worth signing up for the public beta of Yosemite and testing that and if needed reporting it as an issue for Yosemite as this will be getting more bug fix attention than Mavericks now.
    I would agree turning off de-duplication is not a desirable solution, however other possibilities to consider are installing the standard Samba software on a Mac and using that instead of Apple's SMBx software. This is done by using the SMBup installer See http://eduo.info/2013/07/13/smbup-faq it does not officially list Mavericks but I did see at least one report that it still worked. A second possibility is to install ExtremeZ-IP which installs an AFP server on to your Windows Server and also gives the bonus of supporting Spotlight searches.
    Note: You should only try SMBup on a test setup first.

  • MAC (10.6.8) users having permission issues with windows 2003 AD and NetApp SAN environment.

    I have created a cifs share that is being accessed by Mac users that are part of a windows 2003 AD.  When the user edit data and save it back to the share, the security permission are reset and none of the other users can see the new data unless the permissions are refreshed on the windows server.

  • TMG SSO issue with Windows 7 clients

    I have very strange problem with Forefront TMG 2010 Single Sign On feature.
    SSO settings:
    I'm publishing two websites (https://site1.domain.com and https://site2.domain.com) by using the same web listener with SSO enabled for *.domain.com
    SSO is working as charm for Windows 8.1 clients
    The issue when accessing sites from Windows 7 clients:
    On the first access to any of the sites (i.e. site1), I'm getting TMG forms login form - as expected.
    I login, then visit few pages of the same site (i.e. site1), and everything works as expected. I'm logged in, and I can surf.
    The problem arises when I try to open the other site (i.e. site2). I'm getting TMG forms login form again! And even worse - as soon as new TMG login form opens -
    I'm logged off from the first site also. So not just I must login separately for both sites - I can't be logged to both sites in the same time because as soon as I login to one site, the session with other site is terminated!
    Interesting thing is that behavior is the same in any browser. I've tried with IE, Chrome and Mozilla - the problem is the same.
    When external client tries to open the second site, TMG logs one interesting message:
    Req ID: 0ae9f57b; Compression: client=Yes, server=No, compress rate=0% decompress rate=0% ;
    FBA cookie: exists=yes, valid=no, updated=no, logged off=no, client type=private, user activity=yes
    It looks that TMG finds that cookie is not valid and deletes it, terminating this way existing session with all sites.
    My setup:
    Array of two TMG's 2010 SP2 RU4, on Windows Server 2008 R2, all updates installed.
    Published websites (site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com) are residing on two different servers (srv1 and srv2)
    Websites are published over https by using SSL certificate gotten from local PKI. All clients and servers do have PKI CA in their "Trusted Root Certificates" storage. No client or server reports any certificate issue. Websites are "green"
    in address bar.
    I'm really confused with this behavior. Especially due to the fact that the same third-party browser (Chrome), can be used with SSO without any problem when installed on Windows 8.1, but not when installed on Windows 7!?!?
    Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks!

    Hahah! Shame on me! The problem is not related to Windows 8.1 / Windows 7. Client OS coincides with DNS server settings... To explain:
    My two-server TMG array has two public IPs (each server having one) - 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2.
    In order to avoid setting the same IPs for all my websites, I've decided to create one common A record, and to define all websites as CNAME records pointing to this common A record. (This way I have just one place where I should change IP if it changes.)
    My common A record is defined as follows:
    a.domain.com -> 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2
    And websites as follows:
    site1.domain.com -> a.domain.com
    site2.domain.com -> a.domain.com
    When multiple IPs are bound to the same host some DNS servers will round robin them, and some will not. For example, when I do nslookup on the PC with google's public DNS server (8.8.8.8) I'm getting the following result:
    C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
    Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
    Address: 8.8.8.8
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: a.domain.com
    Addresses: 1.1.1.1
    1.1.1.2
    Aliases: site1.domain.com
    No matter how many times I execute nslookup, I'm getting the same answer, with IP addresses in the same sequence. But when I do nslookup on the PC that uses local DNS service on the router, sequence of IP addresses changes with each subsequent call:
    C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
    Server: UnKnown
    Address: 192.168.1.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: a.domain.com
    Addresses: 1.1.1.1
    1.1.1.2
    Aliases: site1.domain.com
    C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
    Server: UnKnown
    Address: 192.168.1.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: a.domain.com
    Addresses: 1.1.1.2
    1.1.1.1
    Aliases: site1.domain.com
    In my case Windows 8.1 machines were using Google's public DNS server, so all of them were resolving both websites in the same way, always using the first IP gotten - 1.1.1.1. In the other words, both websites were pointing to the same TMG array member 1.1.1.1.
    And SSO was working as expected.
    On the other side, my Windows 7 machines were setup to dynamically get network settings from the DHCP service (the router), and they were using its DNS service (second example). So when the browser opens site1.domain.com it queries DNS for site1.domain.com,
    gets two IPs, as always selects the first one (1.1.1.1), makes request to the first member of my TMG array and successfully creates session. Browser caches site1.domain.com -> 1.1.1.1, so each subsequent call goes to the same address without querying DNS
    server. But when the browser opens site2.domain.com it queries DNS server again, this time getting the same IP addresses, but reordered. As always it selects the first one (1.1.1.2), and sends the request (with authentication cookie) to
    the second TMG array member. The second TMG validates the cookie and doesn't recognize it, so
    rejects it and deletes it, and redirects the browser to login form. Since the cookie is deleted, browser cannot access site1.domain.com (through 1.1.1.1) anymore.
    Huuuhhh.
    The new question: can SSO be setup with TMG arrays and DNS round robin? Is there any way to "force" array members to accept cookies distributed by other members?
    I guess that I must open new question...
    Sorry for my stupidity!

  • WRITE permission Issue with Windows 7

    I have a swing based applicatin that can be isntalled using a installer. This application writes some configuration files and also uses embeded database derbby. Therefore user must have WRITE permission on folder where application is installed.
    On windows 7 with JRE (build 1.6.0_21-b07) if it is installed in "Program Files" where by default WRITE permission is not allowed it throws exceptions that is correct. However when i tried it with old version of JRE e.g. (build 1.6.0_1) it works. I wonder why Windows 7 security works differnetly with old and latest versions of JRE.

    .. This application writes some configuration files and also uses embeded database derbby. Therefore user must have WRITE permission on folder where application is installed. I don't understand how that follows. If the embedded data is read only, it would not require write ability.
    OTOH, if write ability is required, install the DB file in a sub-directory of user.home. JWS offers an installer-desc element to call set up apps. the first time a JWS app. is invoked.

  • Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

    I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server. 
    Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors. 
    We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
    After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
    to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems. 
    If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping. 
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
    fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
    >>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
    DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
    ipconfig /flushdns

  • Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

    Hi ,
    I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
    Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
    Is there any automated way to remove the cache file? 
    Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
    CUCM version: 9.1.x
    Presence          : 9.1.X
    Jabber              : 10.5 and 10.6

    Hello
    On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
    Network Device Enrollment Service.
    Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
    I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
    Enterprise Trust store for the users.
    But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
    I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
    Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
    Florent
    EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

  • Licensing issue with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essential

    Hi,
    we purchased a server that came with Windows Server 2012 Essentials. and we found out some of the issue regarding the licensing. I would like to verify it with the experts here.
    1. This Essential O.S. cannot be deployed as a member server in the domain, only Windows server 2012 r2 Standard and data center is capable as deploy as a member server? 
    2. does it work with a single domain with multiple domain controllers and one primary domain controller? Example, 10 offices in different states, each location has a domain controller in their office, I'm installing to install this Essential server as another
    domain controller in one of the offices for redundancy purpose. I promoted this server into domain controller with success, but it gives me an fsmo error everyday, and warning about shutting down if i don't transfer the fsmo role to this server.
    3. which leads to this question, so this Essential OS can only be deploy as a single domain as the primary domain controller? Up to 25 user and 50 device license?
    4. Is it possible to deploy it as a domain controller (that office has less than 25 users) in that office while syncing correctly with the other 10 domain controllers in other offices, they are all in the same single domain? I can't make this work, and I
    think due to the Essential O.S.'s limitation.
    5. we use a vpn connection to connect all the office together, and all the domain controller uses lan ip address to communicate with each other.
    Thank you for the help in advance. I have been researching for the past couple days, but I still couldn't get a clear answer. Thank you again.

    Hi Cliff,
    Thank you for your reply.
    1. We will get a new server 2012 r2 standard to deploy as member server.
    2 and 3. Only ONE domain controller can hold all FSMO roles in a single domain, correct? Currently an windows 2003 enterprise, this is our first server in our domain, it holds all the FSMO roles currently. 
    4. Yes, we realized essentials will not work for us, so we are switching to 2012 r2 standard to deploy for the new
        domain controller for our new office, still under the same domain. 
    5. This wasn't a question, just wanted to give out the connection information.
    The problem was that We didn't read the Essentials in detail when buying the new server, on dell website, it said it was perfect for small business, we didn't know it has to run as a primary DC. it was great in price, and it doesn't need CALs.
    but we quickly realized after deploying it as a DC, it gives us error about Server Licensing compliance, and will shut down automatically. Then we were going to use it as a member server to run application, and realized we couldn't. So we are returning the
    server, and getting a new one with standard r2 2012 and CALs license. 
    It was a costly mistake.
    Thank you again.

    Step1. create a request table, where u are inserting ur request.
    step2. create PRO*C proram, which is listening request on the table. If there is any request, call the imp (executable). This is happening on server side.
    Benifit. U can make a request from cleint and ftp the file client sit.
    Are u interested in more details and code, pls send a mail to me

  • URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

    Hello SAP community,
    I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
    When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
    I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
    But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
    I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
    We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
    Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Carlos

    Hi all,
    I think I found the solution.
    The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
    Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
    Best regards

    We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
    Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
    In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1  
    In addition, Installation Instructions  says that it requires:
     Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
     Windows Installer 4.5.
     Windows PowerShell 1.0
    I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
    I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
    Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
    I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
    said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.  
    My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
    So, the ultimate questions are:
    1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1? 
    2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
    3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
    4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
    Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
    Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
    But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?
