SMB share strangeness with OS X Lion

Since upgrading to OS X Lion I have some issues with SMB shares. I can connect to my macs share but when I create a new file or folder on the mac from within Windows Vista the file name seems to get corrupted temporarily. If I create a new folder for example the folder will appear with the name 'ew Folder' with some strange character on the end. Then if you try and interact with this folder, try to change it's name or navigate into the folder you can't. If you refresh your view of the share then you can see that the folder was actually named correctly as 'New Folder'.
I have just updated to 10.7.1 and I still get the problem so I thought I would see if anyone else is seeing it.
This makes using the share complicated as you have to keep refreshing every time you make a change. Is there anything that I can do to get around this?

I'm experiencing a similar issue with smb shares on Lion. Windows clients can connect, but simple DOS commands do not work against the SMB share.
"Dir" works
"Dir *.bat" returns nothing, eventho there are batch files in the directory. Simply put wild card directory listing does not work.
You must specify the executable or batch file name with extension in order to run it. "ABC" doesn't work, but "ABC.exe" works. "EFG" doesn't work, but "EFG.BAT" works.
Anyone with info please advise...
Thanks,

Office 2011 issue with private SMB shares, ok with public SMB shares.

Issue:
When we connect to an SMB or AFP share, ie. (smb://frog/home/user/) which is a windows 2008 R2 file server, the connection is fine. We can open all files except Office files. These .../home/user/ shares are locked down in AD being that this is the users home, private, directory.
If we open a public share, with permissions in AD set to allow read/write to all authenticated users, we can open all files, including office files, with no problems.
NOTE:
If we use iWorks Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on our Microsoft files all .docx, pptx, xlsx, doc, xls, and ppt files open fine. This shows me that its not a permissions issue on the file server.
Info:
All Mac's are running Mountain Lion 10.8
All Mac's are members of our 2008 AD domain.
All Mac's are running MS Office 2011 v14.2.3
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem, but this time with a shared printer on a windows 7 laptop. If I connect the laptop via a wired connection then other wired (windows 7) PC's can print to my usb connected and shared printer but if I connect via wireless then the printer remains offline to these other PC's.
So it looks like some form of isolation is going on but I can't see any configuration for it. Did you resolve your issue ?

SMB Slow connection with upgrade to SnoW Leopard and Windows Clients.

<pre>
Dear,
I have now upgraded my MAC OS X LEOPARD 10,5,8 to new SNOW LEOPARD 10,6,2 and if some problems disappear I have a newer big one !
Now every time a Windows CLient try to connect to a SMB Share of SL server that take a long time about 10-15 seconds to open after that depending on client OS that could be nice for a moment (windows 7 and XP) or browsing stay very slow like for 2003 server connecting to Share on S.Leopard.
Could you please help me.
My SL are the main SMB share computer with all data it is connect like other clients to AD (SBS2003).
I have a SBS2003 server that are Master of Domain
and a Server 2008 acting like Terminal Server also member server of domain.
Here are kind of log I receive from SMBD.LOG: I suppose the Credentials problem when connecting are my explanation but how to avoid that !

Could you help me to troubleshout that problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Dear CarlosGBA,
So when you put 2 computers of your network in WORKGROUP in place of DOMAIN the 38 others works fine ? Strange ?
I have about 15 computers, some are already in workgroup other are linux smb other MAC, the data server are MAC OS X SL, the problem appear for all windows machines, I have try to dissable NTLMV2 and Kerberos since it is probably the faulty element with opendirectory,but always without success !
I don't know what I can do to trouble shout, I hope next release 10.6.3 come soon and correct about all SMB problem ! Probably a dream only ! Since I ask my self if Apple want to correct something andwhy is this problem let without solutionso long ! For a company it is a big problem.I suppose that Apple never read this forum and never answer our problem ! May be I should contact the support phone to be helped !
Thanks for you help.

App started from SMB-Share crashes frequently!

Hello!
I have a customer that has to start a medical program via SMB share. With Server 10.6.8 there was no trouble at all - since we replaced the server with Server 2.2.2 we are in big trouble
The customer uses Windows 7 as client systems and connects to a share at the Mountain Lion server. The clients can connect to the share without any trouble, but when I start the application the trouble begins.
Sometimes the app crashes immedialtly, sometimes the app runs for hours and suddently crashes. A message pops up telling "The program BlahBlah.exe does not react anymore" and thats it. Sometimes the application crashes five times a day at one client while at the same time at another client it runs stable.
So the crashes do not occure at the same time on all clients, it is intermittend. Sometimes the app does not crash at all during the day at one client, the next day it crashes 5-10 times at the same client.
Most of the clients are freshly installed Windows 7 systems.
I setup the timeouts at the Registry as mentioned in another discussion - frist this seams to help, but today the customer called and told me that today every thing looks like before the app crashes intermittend on every client.
I setup smbd with the -debug flag but I can not see that this changes anything in logging messages. The eventprotocol from Windows tells me that it tried to load a dll but the network share was not available.
When I browse the network share when a crash occured I can not see any problems - but I see lots of SMB logins after a crash. Looks like Windows trys to reconnect. AFAIK the connection was never lost.
The customer has a mac mini server, 16GB RAM with a Promise Thudnerbolt RAID running Mountain Lion Server 2.2.2.
Every help is highly welcome, bye
Christoph

Share one iTunes library on a SMB share between PC & Mac

Hi,
Is there anyway I can share one iTunes library and the music files on a SMB share between a PC and a Mac? I assume there would be a problem with how the Mac and PC assign network drives differently would be an issue, or is there a way around this?
At the moment I'm only sharing the music files on the SMB share but with separately iTunes library on the PC and Mac.

I have itunes match. its good but its not perfect. it downloads wrong versions of songs. for example it downloads the censored version of many of my songs. plus it doesnt do podcasts, movies, tvshows, books.
plus it doesnt show my smart playlists in the same track order as on my computer. its good but it has bugs and shortcomings.
thanks for the suggestion but i'd like to try the way i initially posted about.

IMovie Video folder on the SMB share

Hi,
Both of my movies and pictures are stored on the SMB share. I can configure iPhoto library to use this smb://share/picture with the option of NOT coping pictures locally just fine.
However I see no such option in the iMovie. When I import events to library, all movie files are copied locally.
Is there a way to configure iMovie just like iPhoto: use movies on the SMB share without local copy?
May be for perm reason iMovie can only operate with local files?

Let's put it this way: I'm asking on a Mac site because the people on non-windows support sites are WAAAAY more interested in talking about problems and solutions involving things other than Windows.
I'm fairly certain that the windows servers ARE respecting their own inheritance rules, barring any major bugs and the like which someone may know about...
The isue isn't with Macs moving shares to a netapp, it's with a share being moved to a NetApp that has folders created by a Mac. Talking with our security team further, it seems the problem may be limited to shares resident on a NetApp or moved from a Windows server to a NetApp.
I was primarily asking to see if anyone knew of any issues with these particular situations or had experienced something similar and had dug into it any deeper with F5 (NetApp vendor).

Smb share with neotv

Hi
I have a problem with the smb share from lion.
on my old imac i had a networkshare with all my videos and connected with a netgear neotv. with my new imac with the lion system i cant look the films anymore. the smb share is installed and the permissons set. the netgear device sees the directory from the file but can not play the videos. there comes an error that the location is not accesible.
I have asked Netgear and they told me that the problem is the new smb version.
have anybody any idea how to fix or workaround this problem?
Best regards
Adrian

Please send the output of `zfs get sharesmb` for the datataset you want to share.

Problem with SMB share

Hi!
I have a problem when connecting to a SMB file share on a Windows 2003 R2 server (also acting as a Domain Controller for the Active Directory domain) using OS X 10.5.2.
I've just reinstalled Leopard to rule out any problems with messy configuration on the client, but the problem persists. The newly installed Leopard client is not a member of the AD domain at the moment.
When connecting to the server share (with cmd+K in Finder), I have to login using a AD account. The share is after successful login accessible through Finder and I could traverse the folders and read / copy all the files on the share. I could also save smaller files (less than 16 KB) to the server.
However, if I try to save a larger file (more than 16 KB) the files gets created on the server share, but stays a 0 KB. The access to the server share freezes during 60 seconds and the "Copy" window just tells me it has copied 0 KB of the file so far. No data seems to be written to the file at all.
After Finder gives up, the "Copy" windows tells me that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
From time to time Finder has also disconnected the share during problems, and OS X has crashed on me in kernel panic four times when testing. I haven't been able to track down the action triggering these errors yet.
The shares on the server works just fine when using the same username/password from a Windows XP client machine.
I don't see this problem when mounting a share from a Windows XP client in Leopard.
What could be wrong here? Is there some setting on the Windows server that has to be done to work with Leopard? (I've read about the SMB signing, but Leopard shouldn't need the signing to be turned off, should it?)
At the moment I'm having a hard time using the shiny new MBP at work, so any help on this would be highly appreciated!
Best regards, Jonas Mixter

I have an issue with OSX Leopard (10.5.2) , where by I can't write to NTFS shares on W2K3 servers with SMB signing turned on and IPV6 disabled for the interface.
To recreate the issue:
Create a folder named test that contains two files one named ._test.txt and test.txt on OSX and copy to an SMB share on W2k3.
This results in spurious errors about permissions and locked files.
Copying a file larger than 4k results in the error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges or some of the items."
Using mount_smbfs from a shell on OSX results in the error: "Permission denied"
host:~ user$ mount_smbfs //user@server/share /Volumes/test-smbmount/
Password:
host:~ user$ cp test.docx /Volumes/test-smbmount/
cp: /Volumes/test-smbmount/test.docx: Permission denied
Using smbclient from a shell on OSX results in SUCCESS!!!
host:~ user$ smbclient \\\\server\\\share -U user

I have mailed the developer as he has obviously identified the root problem of the issue and I urged him to share his patch/resolution with Apple in the interests of the user community and a darn nice thing to do.I had a response form the developer to my request. I sent my workaround solution to the developer and stated that in my opinion the pricing for the software seems unnecessarily high based on the functionality it provides and way above what I would be willing to pay to resolve one small issue.
<developers response>
Pricing is a difficult topic to discuss -- but if you have no use for the product, any price is too much. As for reporting bugs to Apple, they'll listen to customers much sooner than they'll listen to developers. And they have some of the brightest engineers I know. If you report the bug to them, they'll likely have it fixed in the next update.
</developers response>
I couldn't find away to report the bug myself so I had a friend do it for me. The response I had back from Apple was less than satisfactory.
They believe that the issue is to do with NTFS streams and that a file containing ".com.apple.smb.streams.on" needs to be created and placed into the root of shared volumes. This is not a fix!
If you want to prevent writing the "Apple Double" files to a remote share, enter the following into a terminal:
$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Problem still exists.

Before Mac OS X, the Mac OS used 'forked' files, which have two components: a data fork and a resource fork. The Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk formats support forked files. When you move these types of files to other disk formats, the resource fork can be lost.
With Mac OS X, there is a mechanism called "Apple Double" that allows the system to work with disk formats that do not have a forked file feature, such as remote NFS, SMB, WebDAV directories, or local UFS volumes. Apple Double does this by converting the file into two separate files. The first new file keeps the original name and contains the data fork of the original file. The second new file has the name of the original file prefixed by a "._ " and contains the resource fork of the original file. If you see both files, the ._ file can be safely ignored. Sometimes when deleting a file, the ._ component will not be deleted. If this occurs you can safely delete the ._ file.
</apple double description>
I am not the only one this issue. A quick peruse on http://macwindows.com/ will show that numerous people are suffering and numerous workarounds have been suggested. Sadly none of which work for me. Each work around is stranger than the previous. Such as disabling IPV6 and updating Daylight Savings Time.
The issue lies with the samba integration. I am primarily a Gentoo Linux user and this kind of bug would have been resolved almost instantly if present in open source software.

OSX 10.8 and SMB Shares with Access Based Enumeration.

Hello,
I've been working on a bit of a problem related to some SMB Shares on Windows Server 2012 with Access Based Enumeration with Mac OSX 10.8 & 10.9.
Basically, we have one network share that mounts for all of our Students & Faculty on campus. Then, based on which security group the user is inside of in Active Directory, they gain access and visibility to different folders. (Basically, if they are members of the graphic design department, they get access to the Graphic Design's folder). All of that is working fine, no problems. From there we have 3 folders that branch off. We have a Distribution, an Open, and a Dropbox folder.
Distribution is setup as a spot for instructors to have full access, students have read access, They're able to drop files into this locations, to distribute them to their students. This folder is working fine, no problems.
Open is setup with everyone read/write access across the board. This folder is setup for students to share data to each other, work on projects, etc. This folder is working as intended, no problems.
Dropbox is the only folder we're having trouble with, i'm assuming because it's settings are the most complex out of the three. The purpose of the drop box is for students to have read/write control over their own content, but not others, and instructors to have read/write over this entire folder.
Now that I've laid out our Setup, the problem we've encountered, is ONLY occurring inside of the Dropbox folder. When I try to Drag/Drop OR Copy/Paste from another location on the computer into the Dropbox folder, I get a permission error. HOWEVER, if I have a file open, and I click "save as" browse to the dropbox folder, I can save the file into that location without any trouble. Also, on our windows computers, with the same exact users, drag/drop & Copy/Paste work normally.
Things I've Tried:
Disabling the .DS_Store - I figured in the drop box, the .DS_Store would be created by the first user who copied a file in, then subsequent users would not have access to the .DS_Store.
CIFS/SMB1 - I've read that SMB2 can cause some trouble while connecting to SMB Shares, so I tried both connecting via CIFS, and also by forcing back to SMB1, with no fix.
Am I missing something with this? I've read a lot about people having trouble connecting to SMB Shares, but for us it had not been a problem up until this point. Does anyone know what a possible fix might be for this? I'm sifting through internet searches right now, trying to find a solution, however MOST of the responses I see are regarding the two things I've already tried.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Just thought I'd post this in case it helps someone. This could be the same problem we have (had) here so try this:
When it asks for name and password put this in the name field: sharename\name
So if the share is called "WWW" and your login name is "Bob" you'd put "www\Bob" in the name field and then normal password in the password field.
Works perfectly for us. I cant remember when it started 10.7 or 10.8 but this was the only solution. Hope it helps someone else!

If manual set ".exe" X permission file run but when rebuild exe with compiler restore only "Read&Write permission"
Is possible use inheritance on smb (lion)?

Since I use Mac os x mountain lion it is no more possible to share files with my pc windows 7. Does somebody know how to solve this problem?

Since I use Mac os x mountain lion it is no more possible to share files with my pc windows 7. Does somebody know how to solve this problem? I have been answered by an Apple technician that with the new Mountain Lion the problem was with Windows. I am not convinced.

I have renamed my pc and everything is ok with the file sharing SMB. Both my iMac and my pc can share files very easily.

How to use smb share for home directory with AD account

I have extended the schema of our AD and bound a macbook pro running 10.6.8 to the domain. AD users are able to logon, and if I select the option to use their AD homedirectory attribute then this smb share is used as a network drive. My question is though, I need users to logon to MAC using a different smb share for their home drive than the path set in the home directory attribute. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Cheers
Paul.

But this method cannot use Regular Expression because my searching target is more than one line.Yes it can!
Like you said, first you list all the files in the folder.
For each file, use a BufferedReader to read the first lines, then you may use a StringBuffer to append the lines into it (don't forget to append the '\n' to each line).
Finally, compile your pattern ( "^November.*\nDecember" ) with the DOTALL flag,
verify that the string (from StringBuffer) matches the pattern and there you have it!

Using an "if not exists" command with a folder on an SMB share

I'm trying to use an "if not exists" command on a folder which is stored on a mounted smb share..
This part of my script is supposed to check if a folder exists and;
If it does - Skip to the next part of the script
If it doesn't - Create the folder.
At the moment it either errors saying that the folder doesn't exist or doesn't create the folder.
I can get this script to work fine using local folder paths but I want to do it on an SMB share..
Here's my script.
Many thanks in advance.
Martin
set username to (do shell script "whoami")
set Media to " Media Files"
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text) then
make new folder at "macmedia$" with properties {name:(username as text) & Media as text}
end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text
try
mount volume mnt
end try
eject "macmedia$"
end tell

Hi Camelot,
Thanks a lot for that the script's working as it should now..
I'm still having intermittent problems on some clients where it will only map the root volume "macmedia$" and freeze there.. This is a problem as they can then see and access everyone elses folders from there.
Do you know of a better/cleaner way to do what I'm trying to acheive? All i'm after is mapping an additional drive for student's so they can save larger files to our media server within their own folders.
Is there a way of checking if a folder exisits within an smb share without mounting the volume? Just trying to think outside of the box a bit..
Here's my new script;
set username to (do shell script "whoami") & " Media" as text
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
          if not (exists folder username of disk "macmedia$") then
make new folder at disk "macmedia$" with properties {name:username as text}
          end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
          set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text)
          try
mount volume mnt
          end try
          eject "macmedia$"
end tell
Many thanks,
Martin

Using single SMB share with multiple Hyper-V clusters

Hello,
I'm trying to find out if I can use a single SMB share with multiple Hyper-V Clusters. Looking at:
How to Assign SMB 3.0 File Shares to Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters in VMM
I think it's possible. Since the File Server is going to handle the file locking it shouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone tried that?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
I'm not sure that's possible, I get this from this statement:"Assign the share—Assign
the share to a virtual machine host or cluster."
Even if it worked I wouldn't do that. Why don't you just create multiple shares?

We have a set up here where i have enabled the indexing on smb share via mdutil, but when i search the share the only things i can see are things i have created, but if i log in as a standard local user, mount the smb share and enable indexing i can search the share perfectly well.
The permissions to the various folders on the smb share (sbs 2003) all appear to be the same.
Any ideas much appreciated

I ended up (for other reasons) reinstalling Solaris 11 among other things, and at some point this strange problem went away. I don't know exactly why or what was causing it in the first place, unfortunately. At least it's gone.
Cheers,
Kevin
