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.

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?

Windows Server 2012: SMB share with transparent failover

Have a nice day to all!
I have 2 HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 servers containing 8 x 1TB disks (with P420i HP Smart Array RAID Controller) in each server.
So, there are 2 arrays on every server:
1. 2 x 1TB in RAID1 (+1 disk for hot swap) - system volume
2. 5 x 1TB in RAID5 (+1 disk for hot swap) - data volume
And I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on each server.
Than I created a failover two-nodes cluster.
And now I want to create a SMB share with transparent failover for all the second (data) volume (it's about 3.3TB in RAID5 array). How just can I reach this goal? I'm going to use it in future for Hyper-V VMs, so, the main reqirement is powered-on and working
VMs even if one node of SMB share cluster is failed.
I wasn't able to see my volumes in failover cluster manager. I tried to create iSCSI targets, storage pools, virtual disks, etc. but no luck. My failover cluster manager can't see it to create SMB share!
Can anyone advice me something?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have your storage you want to export as being a shared storage visible to your cluster (part of CSV). Then you'll configure failover file shares using content accessible from both cluster nodes. Refer to this manual for diagrams (ignore StarWind
and replace it logically with your existing shared storage you've used to create your cluster):
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/configuring-ha-file-server-on-windows-server-2012-for-smb-nas
Also see these manuals from MS on how to create failover file server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753969.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
However if you want to use existing storage located on the both nodes you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide anything representing local DAS to the cluster nodes. If you want to use existing DAS then you'll have to stick with a third-party product
like StarWind, SteelEye or DataCore. To create something like in this picture:
So you'll have a configuration with only two nodes, no physical shared hardware (SAS JBOD, FC or iSCSI) and vSAN. Refer to this manual:

SMB Share with Access Based Enumeration & Mac OSX 10.8/10.9

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!

Confusion of aliases made for two SMB shares with same folder name

I have a SMB file server here which provides me with a Departmental personal home filestore and also a Departmental personal web filestore. The name of the folder is the same in each case - my Departmental user name. If I check the Finder Preference 'Show these items on the desktop' for 'Connected servers', I can use the Finder's 'Connect to Server' for each - smb://webhome/john and smb://home/john - to make each of them appear on my desktop as 'john'.
It's rather confusing to have to remember that (say) the upper 'john' is my home filestore and the lower one is my web filestore, so I use Finder 'Make Alias' (e.g. via right click on each when selected') to create two aliases I can name 'web john' and 'home john'.
Alas, each alias always points to the same (apparently randomly selected) share!
This looks like a bug to me. I've tried unchecking the Finder 'Connected servers' preference, and then the shares appear under folder 'SHARE' - where I cannot create any aliases at all; I get the error message 'Operation could not be completed (Error -8058)'.
Reader, do you know of a work-around which will let me distinguish on my desktop between my two identically-named folders from different shares? Alas, I have no power to change the names of the original folders.

I should have said that one cannot rename the share icons in the usual way. Not being able to do this is the real bug here. If I'd been able to do this I wouldn't have need to try to create aliases, of course.

File Locks and SMB shares with ML

I've been doing a lot of research on SMB and the way it locks files during access. I've made a lot of ground work in my research but could use a little further assistance from this support community.
The symptom is simple to explain: Users are occasionally being prompt for a username and password when attempting to rename or move files and folders.
After doing some research on this topic, I have discovered that there is a direct relationship to files being open on the server at the time the user is attempting to rename or move the folder. The following thread, albiet old, appears to have nailed the problem on the head http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=24558131. In particular, there appears to be file locking happening when preview is turned on through the finder. I've had all users remove preview from their Macs and this appears to have helped reduce the occurances of the password prompt, but has not completly solved the problem. This is also a work around, not a fix.
I've been using a series of command to help me trace the problem including openfile.exe on the Windows 2012 Storage Server (sharing the files via smb only) to discover who has what files open on the server, and the lsof command on the client workstations to discover what process has the file open. So far, the finder is consistently the only thing with the file open... even with the finder preview turned off. I've also found that the "open file" is simply the fact that the offending users Mac has a finder window with just the folder open (none of the files within the folder or previews open).
Is the real solution to simply close all finder windows when you're done working in a folder, or is there more that anyone can think of to help me find out exactly what is holding the file lock? Is this a known bug in the SMB implementation of ML? Can we expect to see a fix with Mavericks which will now be using SMB2.0?
Any help or information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a bunch of documentation on this issue and would be happy to share. Please let me know if anyone needs any additional details.

Hello all - many apologies for my delay in posting here; and Squiggle, thanks for the second-hand nudge. As Stephen said we have been testing a solution concerning a setting in Finder's view options for the last few months, and these seem to have solved the issue in hand.
Essentially, we found that Finder was holding files open whenever the 'Show Icon Preview' option was set, on any of the four folder views, on any client machine accessing the share. Below is a piece of documentation I wrote up for our Service desk explaining how to diagnose and manually fix this issue on the client:
        - In Finder, open any folder
        - Click on the cog icon and select 'show view options.' Check that, in the dialogue box which appears, the 'Show icon preview' box is not checked. Click the other three Finder views and check it's turned off here too.
        - Click 'Use as Defaults'
In order to make this change remotely on multiple machines, you will need to change the clients' com.apple.plist files, and set every instance of the <showIconPreview> key to <False>. This is nested within several key / dictionary pairs in com.apple.finder.plist, once under <standardViewOptions> and thrice within <standardViewSettings>. As Stephen has already mentioned, the fact that this key is nestled deep within compound dictionaries seems to render them untouchable by defaults, though I would be very happy to be corrected on this.
How you push this change out will depend on your management system. We had been using Casper to
to create a managed preference pertaining to <standardViewOptions> and <standardViewSettings> within com.apple.finder.plist. These contained as values the entire dictionary associated with these keys, with the value for each <showIconPreview> set to false. This was then applied at a User Enforced Level (running every logon after Finder has set up the system defaults).
As a side note, I have found that certain machines (Such as the 10.8.3 machine I'm working on now) contain a key named <FK_StandardViewSettings>, which I have been unable to ascertain the purpose or origination of. These don't seem to affect the fix, so we've left them alone.
Irritatingly, Casper has dropped support for custom Managed Preferences in their latest release, so this problem has now resurfaced. I will keep this page updated with any fixes or workarounds I find.
Hope that helps,
Josh Smith

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share? We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders. This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both. I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

Windows 7 Guest Access to SMB Share

I have a 10.8 server setup. I have a share that is available via both AFP and SMB. I have guest access turned on. Why can't I access this share as a guest using Windows 7? Am I doing something wrong?
Windows 7 client is bound to an AD domain, but the Mac Server is not, it is stand alone.
How can I access the guest SMB share with Windows 7 client?
Thanks!

If lagagnon's suggestion doesn't work, I would say try this:
[global]
client lanman auth = no
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
Where I work we are on an Active Directory in which *only* NTLMv2 is allowed to authenticate, and Samba clients must explicitly set "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" in order for them to connect to shares.

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,

Server 2.2.1 - Disable "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" as default for new Share Points

I have been experiencing issues with the native OS X 10.8.3 Server SMBx service. I have therefore disabled it in favor of full Samba via SMBup. With that said, when I chose to add a new share, by default OS X Server activates "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" I would like this option disabled by default as I am managing my SMB shares through SMBup. Is there a preference to accomplish this?
TIA.

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/

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

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.

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:

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 ?
