Smb/CIFS file system authentication

I'm tryng to connect to a Windows share. From one Mac I cann connect without problem, while on the other the smb/CIFS file system authentication windows appears.
Both the Mac are 10.7.3 and I use the same login credentials (Username and password)
Thanks for the help

Do you know where to find the computer name and password if you cannot remember them?

Smb/cifs file system authentication name TROUBLE!!!!

I have a MacPro inside the domain group with Windows-based machine and Windows Server 2003.
Every time I try to connect to windows machine the window pop up with smb/cifs file system authentication& Where You have to fill in workgroup or domain name, name and password. So workgroup or domain name is ok (correct), the password is that you type every time ( but its ok too), but the NAME is wrong. Every time NAME is the same ( I try to change it every single day). I could find no a single article or help where the system store that NAME
My question is that: How on earth can I change that NAME or where it could be changed, and why some times when I try to connect I instantly get shared folders (on some machines) then on others never and you have to type the NAME and PASSWORD every single time.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Not sure if you noticed this but this is the wrong forum for this issue. You are in the iPhone network section. Perhaps go to the OS X Networking board and try posting again.
As a side note you could try using a program called Supinfo Share Manager which you can get from http://www.labo-apple.com/SupinfoShareManager201.zip
It can store info for favorite smb shares such as sharepoint, username, password and such. Might help.

What is SMB/CIFS? Why does window ask for File System Authentication

Set up: G5 dual processor tower w 2.5 GB sdram running OS 10.4.11
Connected to MacBookPro 2.4 GHz IntelCore 2 Duo w 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS 10.5.4
via Airport.
MacBookPro does not show up on Network from G5.
But G5 tower is connected from MacBookPro.
An alias appears on Network list from G5 with the identity "Mac001B638898Ba8". When it is clicked on to connect a window appears asking to enter the workgroup or domain and user name (both filled in automatically) and a password.
No password I have ever used works when entered in the password box.
What is going on? There is no Win machine anywhere near here that I have knowledge of.
Thank you.

You did not uninstall the original version and there may be some reference to a DVD based installed stored somewhere. The so-called repair install doesn't work, anyway. uninstall first, then reinstall. You may also need to manually delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files (x86)\common fiels\Adobe\caps. Notee that due to a bug in CS3 you may need to run this twice, that is uninstall, delete the ccaps.db, reinstall, uninstall again without deleting the caps.db, then reinstall a 2nd time or else you may see licensing errors.

How to mount a CIFS file system in fstab?[SOLVED]

I want a CIFS share to be auto mounted on linux startup.
If I add a line to /etc/rc.local, it works well:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/alien /home/alien -o user=alien,passowrd=alien,uid=1000,gid=1000
But, if I append a line to /etc/fstab, it doesn't work:
//192.168.0.10/alien /home/alien cifs _netdev,users,user=alien,passowrd=alien,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
I think may be fstab is before network available. But I am not sure, since I notice some other
linux system has NFS entry in fstab and works well.
Any ideas?

SMB/CIFS file sharing

when i transfer files from my mac to my PC small hidden files get transfered along with them. I understand what they are and the intention of this however when i Transfer mp3's into my music folder and import them using Creative source organizer it also imports the small hidden files. Is there a way to stop this from happening so i don't have to delete them after the transfer?

I created a .NET 2.0 application that does this:

SMB/CIFS message when logging in to LAN/WAN

Hi all,
My last name changed recently, and our I.T. guy started setting things up on his end to change my e-mail, records, and the like. Now, every time I log on to our Win XP network, I get a prompt from SMB/CIFS File System Authentication to enter my name and password. The name that displays automatically is my 'old' name, and even through I type in my new name and password and click 'Remember this password in my keychain', the same dialog box will come up (with the wrong name) the next time I try to access the network.
Previously all I had to do is double-click on the alias to a drive or folder on the network, and 'boom', I'm in.
Under the Apple menu, I am logged in under the correct new name. All areas that I can find in my system to enter in a user name has my new name. The anomaly only happens when I try to access the network.
Any clues?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can easily verify by yourself that no column AppTime exists in a standard B1 installation (just tested on 2007A SP01 PL6).
You should have a reference to an external database or extension (addon)...
What addons are you using?

WEBDAV FILE SYSTEM, user name and password changed

Getting prompt as follows, WebDAV File System Authentication,
Enter your user name and password to access the server at the URL "http://idisk.mac.com/bobbiealiaswink/" in the realm "idisk.mac.com."
User name and password were changed recently by Mobile Me, now either or neither
are being recognized by prompt. Constant reminders every few minutes since upgrading Safari two day ago....I am going buggy with prompts...have tried every possible configuration. Is there a way to enter new access area to enter new username and password?

SMB/CIFS browsing slow with folders with many files

My NAS (Buffalo Linkstation HG) SMB/CIFS browsing from OSX is slow when a folder has many files in it, with ball spinning for more than 30 seconds before listing folder contents depending on how many files the folder has.
But accessing the same Linkstation from Windows XP is fast. Even Windows XP inside OSX (using Parallels) is fast.
Since the same machine but inside Parallels is fast seems not a network issue to me. Maybe some setting in OSX could help, or some setting in smb.conf inside the Linkstation (I can change it by using Openlink, a non official firmware).
Also, AFP folder browsing is fast, but not using it because the one included with the Linkstation has filename length limitations to be compatible with OS Classic.
Anyone had a similar problem accesing a SMB/CIFS share?
Thanks.
Macbook (Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There was a suggestion out here recently to disable Bonjour's Name Resolution...but connecting to the remote drive by IP address, instead of name.
Like so:
Connect by IP address, and it should bypass Bonjour name resolution. Hit command-K, and in the window that pops up type
afp://<ip-address>
where <ip-address> is the IP of the host you want to connect to. For example, if the IP address of the Aiport basestation hosting the drive is 10.0.0.1, you would type:
afp://10.0.0.1
This was a long fix for a slightly different problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=877397&tstart=0
Worth a try.
Aso consider if thisis a large folder full of pictures - mac seems to think it needs to generate thumbnails of all those image files...think of the network and CPU time needed for that.

Mac OS X Server asks for SMB/CIFS Authentication

I don't know if this is a Tiger or Leopard Problem. When I try to connect to my server (2*2Ghz G5 10.5.latest) from my laptop (800 Mhz iBook 10.4.11) sometimes I
get a SMB/CIFS Authentication login window. I should get an AFS login window.
When I reboot the laptop it gives me the AFS login.
Any Clues?
Thanks, Jim.

Hi Jim,
I'd try this on the Laptop...
Finder>Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then type in like...
afp://ip.of.the.server

SMB, CIF, MSHOME, etc - 2 PCs + One Mac

I have a Mac dual G4 with OSX 10.4.4 connected to two PCs, each with Windows XP SP2, via ethernet. I would like to make one entire volume "Giant" available to the PCs for read/write.
I would also like to have the entire "C:" volumes on both PCs to be available to each other and to the Mac as well.
I am sorry, but there are 10,000 ways to set this up and I don't have a clue as to how to do it. There is "cif" and "smb" and "\\G4\" and MSHOME and Network Group and so many bits of stuff now that my machines are a real mess.
I have spent days (literally) messing about with this.
What I have tried to do does not allow me to go to either PC, and play QuickTime files that are on the Mac "Giant" disk. (QuickTime 7.0.4 is installed on both PCs and the Mac)
Also, on one of the PCs, when I open a Mac folder, it takes ages for the Mac folder to open on the PC desktop.
Also, when I use Macromedia Director from the PC to work on a project & files which live on the Mac, this used to work via Thursby's Dave system which I no longer have.
There must be (please help) in your opinion, a "best way" (SMB, CIF, etc) to set up such a small network.

Anyone have any recommendations as to which PC-scheme is best to use? Fastest? Most efficient? Most reliable?

Using MS FileSharingTestSuite for TESTING a LINUX Based SMB/CIFS implementation.

Hi,
I was trying to setup the MS File Sharing test suite for testing the below implementation.
Could please let me know if this use-case is supported. If not could please point me to
resources [Microsoft] which could help achieve this purpose effectively.
I want to test CIFS File server implementation running on Linux [SUSE Linux - Open Enterprise Server]
The client accessing the file services from above
CIFS server implementation is vastly
Windows clients.
Though would like to know ways of testing if the client is a Linux based desktop or a Mac based client as well in future.
For the above setup details I would like to know if and how we could create a "Driver
Computer" setup mainly. So we could use the File Sharing test suite to test against this Linux based CIFS server implementation.
And also the details on setting up the 'System Under Test (SUT)' , if any changes required[from what is documented in the "FileSharing_ServerUserGuide]" to
achieve the above.
Could kindly point me in the right direction to help achieve the above testing purpose.
Please let me know in case any details are required to help resolve the query.
Thanks for your time and help.
Regards,
Kavitha A

Hi,
Thanks for your time.
I am actually talking about using file sharing test suite provided My microsoft for testing a Linux Based CIFS/SMB implementation.
I have got my query answered via Mail from Microsoft dochelp team. hence marking this as resolved.
Posting the response /resolution from DOcHelp team on this thread for benefit of anyone looking for similar information/understanding:
If you are testing in a Workgroup scenario you need a Driver Computer and the System Under Test (SUT) computer.
In a domain-joined scenario, you need a DC somewhere in your environment to join the machines.
The guide document that comes with the test suite package provides guidance on what needs to be configured in each scenario.
The Driver Computer is the Windows machine where the synthetic test suite runs and simulates a client by emitting the protocol packets. The client sends packets to the file server
(the SUT) to test the server implementation of the protocol.
The SUT implements the server side of the protocol and the SUT can be running on any operating system.
For your convenience, you can setup a Windows SUT just for the purpose of understanding the test configuration on the driver client.
The document has instructions for Windows SUT and guidelines for non-Windows SUT as well. In your case, it’s a non-Windows SUT. You need to configure your server where your file
server implementation is running and setup the Driver computer to test your SUT.
I understand that your ultimate goal is to setup your own SUT on the SUSE Linux server.
Many customers have setup SUTs on CentOS, Ubuntu, etc. The flavor of the operating system is not relevant as such. The client simulator talks the SUT by following the protocol
packets.
Please go through the document step-by-step and I am sure it will come together.
Let’s me know whether you have any further questions.
I am not looking at CIFS share access from a Linux system. Otherwise would have posted in relevant Linux forums If looking for the same information. Thanks again for taking time to help though.

SMB/CIFS share of encrypted windows directory

I have a windows 8.1 pro stand alone computer. It has one directory that is encrypted. This computer shares that directory and others with a linux computer. Just after the windows 8.1 computer reboots, linux is unable to access the encrypted directory, but
it can access other unencrypted directories. Once I log on the windows computer as a user with access to the encrypted directory, the linux computer is suddenly able access the encrypted folder. The linux computer can continue to access the encrypted directory
from linux after the user logs off the windows computer.
To be able to access the encrypted directory, I only need to log on to the windows console, i don't need to start any programs. It's as if windows cannot access some kind of key until the a user with access to the encrypted folder logs on to the windows
system from the console. I've tried many different linux command line options for opening the windows share and it doesn't seem to change the behavior. It is typically mounted with:
mount
-t cifs //192.168.1.2/efsdirectory ~/mnt --verbose -o rw,user=username,uid=1000,gid=1000
The behavior is identical if a directory above the efs directory is mounted.
I searched all of the windows event logs for errors from the failed access to the encrypted directory, but I don't see any.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
if all your systems are in Domain or not.
The windows and linux computers are not on a windows domain, just the same workgroup that is named "workgroup".
Also please help confirm if "encrypted" means encrypted by EFS (or Bitlocker).
The directory that i'm trying to access is encrypted with EFS. Since this is a desktop computer, it does not use bitlocker
What's the exact username here in your command? Is it the same account as the one you logged on Windows 8.1?
the username in the unix mount command is the same one used to log onto the windows system. The linux username is different, but that's specified in the mount command with the UID and GID.
The problem occurs after a full reboot, I have disabled the windows 8.1 fast reboot 'feature'.
I'll check tonight, but is it possible that the "Encrypting file system service" is not starting when I mount the drive? Perhaps it only starts when I log on. I noticed that this service is set to 'automatic' on another (windows 7) computer.
Here's a timeline of what happens:
1) Log off of the windows computer. Reboot. (not fast boot)
2)
mount drive on linux computer
3) brouse directory structure on linux. Can open files that are not in encrypted directories. Cannot open files that are in encrypted directories.
4) log onto windows machine
5) brouse directory structure. Now I can open files that are in encrypted directories.
6) log off windows machine
7) brouse directory structure. I can still open files that are in encrypted directories.
Looking at the windows logs, I can see 2 login entries exactly when I mount the drive:

File systems available on Windows Server 2012 R2?

What are the supported file systems in Windows Server 2012 R2? I mean the complete list. I know you can create, read and write on Fat32, NTFS and ReFS. What about non-Microsoft file systems, like EXT4 or HFS+? If I create a VM with a Linux OS, will
I be able to acces the virtual hard disk natively from WS 2012 R2, or will I need a third party tool, like the one from Paragon? If I have a drive formated in EXT4 or HFS+, will I be able to acces it from Windows, without any third party tool? Acces it,
I mean both read and write on them. I know that on the client OS, Windows 8.1, this is not possible natively, this is why I am asking here, I guess it is very possible for the server OS to have build-in support for accesing thoose file systems. If Hyper-V
has been optimised to run not just Windows VMs, but also Linux VMs, it would make sense to me that file systems like thoose from Linux or OS X to be available using a build-in feature. I have tried to mount the vhd from a Linux VM I have created in HyperV,
Windows Explorer could not read the hard drive.

Installed Paragon ExtFS free. With it loaded, tried to mount on Windows Explorer a ext4 formated vhd, created on a Linux Hyper-V vm, it failed, and Paragon ExtFS crashed. Uninstalled Paragon ExtFS. The free version was not supported on WS 2012 R2
by Paragon, if Windows has no build-in support for ext4, this means this free software has not messed around anything in the OS, I guess.
Don't mess with third-party kernel-mode file systems as it's basically begging for troubles: crash inside them will make whole system BSOD and third-party FS are typically buggy... Because a) FS development for Windows is VERY complex and b) there are very
few external adopters so not that many people actually theist them. What you can do however:
1) Spawn an OS with a supported FS inside VM and configure loopback connectivity (even over SMB) with your host. So you'll read and write your volume inside a VM and copy content to / from host.
(I personally use this approach in a reversed direction, my primary OS is MacOS X but I read/write NTFS-formatted disks from inside a Windows 7 VM I run on VMware Fusion)
2) Use user-mode file system explorer (see sample links below, I'm NOT affiliated with that companie). So you'll copy content from the volume as it would be some sort of a shell extension.
Crashes in 1) and 2) would not touch your whole OS stability.
HFS Explorer for Windows

Ext2Read
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/
(both are user-land applications for HFS(+) and EXT2/3/4 accordingly)
Hope this helped :)

Error 64 is being returned which is simply "the network name is no longer available".
There can be a number of reasons for this from SMB compatibility issues (2003 servers wont support SMB2), to the expected and actual computer name of the boxes don't match (tries to authenticate with server.tld.com when the actual name is srv-01.tld.com and
you just put a C-name in). I'd start from the top: Try opening said share from the Primary Site server as that's the box doing the work. Verify the IP and computer name is legit and that no one has played ACL games between the two systems (remember
RPC only initiates/listens on port 135 but established connections are up in the dynamic port range).
At the end of the day it's an issues "underneath" SCCM, and not an SCCM problem specifically.
