Some users - very minimial - cannot access OWA externally.

Some users cannot access OWA with the servers' FQDN (https://exchangeServerName.Domain.com/owa), but they can access it with the public ip. To fix this, I enter the FQDN and public ip into their hosts file, which fixes the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting to narrow down the cause:
Ping your Exchange FQDN
Check your OWA: get-owavirtualdirectory |fl *url
Thanks,

Cannot access shared external drive on iMac from Windows 7

Used to be able to access this drive with no problem from any of my PC's. Sent iMac in for repair and system drive was wiped so I'm starting from clean install of Leopard. Did all the updates first including 10.6.4 which wasn't on before the system drive died.
Firewall is off
SMB is on
Everyone as well as main user has read write access to external drive
iMac is in the same workgroup as machine, although it wasn't before and it worked fine.
PC can ping the IP of the iMac and get a response, can see the iMac in list of networked computers
but cannot access anything on it.
Windows 7 network diagnostics says "file and print sharing resource (JMGIMAC) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts" "The remote computer isn't responding to connections on port 445
I've tried everything, any ideas
Josh

I am familiar with the instructions for sharing files and have followed them (several times I might add).
My problem is that the information that I place in the WINS tab ( in the Network Preference Pane) disappears when the iMac is re-started. This information (especially the Workgroup name) must appear when the computer re-boots. It doesn't and I have to re-enter the information in the iMac before I can access its files from a Windows PC.
I have searched the internet for days trying to find an answer to this question. Although the problem seems to be fairly common, no solutions have been found.

My MacBook w/ OSX 10.6.8 cannot access my external Time Machine Backup USB Drive. It says it is a Read Only drive. When I went to change permissions I found all pernissions were listed as "Custom" and I could not reset them to "Read Write". Any help!

My MacBook w/ OSX 10.6.8 cannot access my external Time Machine Backup USB Drive. It says it is a Read Only drive. When I went to change permissions I found all pernissions were listed as "Custom" and I could not reset them to "Read Write". Any help would be appreciated.

This can be done easily with ethernet.
Please follow the instructions strictly.
To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

Installed mavericks server and now some users don't have access to folders!? Why and how do I fix it???

I have just upgraded the server and os to mavericks and now users that used to be able to open and save or even log in are now locked out with the server saying wrong password. I reset their password and still nothing. I created a new user and they can't even log in? Why now? And how do I fix this. It seems that some users and groups now don't have access and all that was done was to let the group open a shared folder that they have access before. I reset everything and am now very frustrated!!!

Hi
Seem to be an issue with Maverick
After trying to solve the issue with all tips i found here and on the net
I decided to go back to Mountain Lion for my server using TimeMachine backup, and stay with Maverick for my imacs
Work well again
Until Apple will communicate on it or deliver a patch, i would suggest to do the same

Cannot access OWA/ECP except on the server

Hope someone can help.
Out of the blue, we cannot seem to be able to access ecp by mail.domain.com format.
On the server we can access OWA via https://mail.contoso.com
Internally, accessing OWA works via https://mail.contoso.com
Going to our static ip address externally via https://<office-ip>/owa does not work. mail.contoso.com doesn't either.
I have restarted the server with no luck. It appears all services are running, however I had to start Microsoft Exchange Transport Delivery.
We can receive emails and check them via the server itself.
Any ideas what the problem is?
The port is forwarded to the Exchange server and appears to be open. I'm going to contact our ISP but since it's a business account, it should just work. Emails are being received on port 25.
Thanks
Could this be a firewall issue? HTTP and HTTPS are allowed for all and enabled.

Hi
Check your certificates and ensure that they have the correct entries ?
Check your firewall and ensure that the NATing is done correctly
Check your public DNS settings
Check your OWA authentication settings

Cannot access shared external hard drive with other mac accounts

I cannot access a shared external hard drive with other mac accounts (all accounts are on the same macbook Pro). The shared external drive is shared via time capsule and is connected (of course) in USB. I see well this external hard drive as a shared disk with my main account. Yes shared option has been activated with the Airport Utility .. but when I open other account these othe accounts can see the external drive but cannot access to its content that is flagged with a no way sign. Strangely enough when I close my main account and start opening a new session with one of the other account then fine I can access the external hard drive and its content .. BUT then it is from my main account than I cannot access its content the no way sign showing ..
Looks like only one account at a time can access the content of this SHARED external hard drive .. any one as an idea on how to really make it a shared hard drive so that all accounts on the same mac can also access it ? I am at my wit ends on this case. THANKS ..

Results of my enquiries at Apple Genius Bar .. the guys found the problem interesting. They've been unable to provide a fix neither to give any explanation as to the reason why. To be fair I was not much impressed by the technical level demonstrated ..
In the mean time I have found that if account no.1 can see the shared external drive content and in such case account no.2 (same Mac computer) cannot see its content (only the external HD with a no way sign) this account no.2 can UNMOUNT (by ejecting) this external HD from account 1 and then remount it (just clicking on the TC shared part in a finder window) and .. see and access its content ; whilst account no.1 cannot see its content anylonger. Unless it unmounts the shared external HD and remount it .. then account no.2 can see its content anylonger. This can goes on an on.
So eventually YES the TC can allow to share a USB external drive between several accounts and a same Mac .. BUT this require to unmount and remount EACH time the external drive is accessed from a "no.2 account". So OK to share files with seldom access but not practical in case of frequent access needed.
I just I have now to figure how iTunes can automatically unmount and remount a shared external HD when it needs to access one of this shared HD content from on time account no.1 and then next time from account no.2. May be I am asking too much ..

I have two iPhoto libraries: one on the hard drive, and one on an external hard drive. I cannot access the iPhoto library on the external hard drive. Yes, it is plugged in!

How are you trying to access the EHD library? Can you open it by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down and selecting the EHD library in the window that appears?

How to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some users and allow the access for some users?

I have a requirement to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some of the users and allow the access for some of the users.
I have applied the below code on the web.config file but this modification impacting only on the web application level not on the site collection and sub site level.
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />
      </authorization>

    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />

When I tried the access on
:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">http://<servername>:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx page allowed the access for all users.
Please suggest the possible solution to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages on SharePoint2013.
Thanks

You can't do it from OOTB.
_layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

Cannot access my external hard drive!

A few month ago when I was transferring my files from a PC via a Seagate external hard drive (originally formatted on that PC) to my then new Intel iMac OS X 10.5.6, I made a newbie mistake in not properly "dismounting" before I pulled the USB. Now I cannot access the files on the Seagate external hard drive either from my iMac nor on my PC.
Are there simple ways I can fix this without spending money on new software? Or would Apple Genius Bar be able to take care of this? Thanks!

1) disconnect that external cables and all
2) power cycle that Seagate, power on power off a few times
3) zap pram on imac
4) reset the power manager on the imac look that up on apple/support and type in search window
when done:
1) power on imac
2)power on seagate
3) connect usb to imac first
4) connect usb to seagate should mount if it does not then no luck.

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

HT1766 For some unknown reason, I cannot access the internet through my Wi-Fi connection, even in my own house with the computer on. What shall I do?

I cannot access the internet with my Wi-Fi connection on my IPad2. It began with my trying to reply to a message. I then got a msg that I had the wrong password or user name. Now I have no access and cannot get or send mail, or access the internet. What shall I do?

If you have access to wifi router you may check its log and see what does it say...
Try set the router for no hidden and no password wifi and try to connect. If you iPad can connect then add password to wifi settings on the router and try to connect again... etc...

New User cannot access OWA after migrate from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Dear all,
I recently migrate the Exchange server from Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2003 to Exchange 2013 on Windows 2012 R2. I can open the mailbox moved from Exchange 2007 without any problem. However when I created a new user in Exchange 2013, the user cannot
login the OWA, the browser will throw out following screen. Can anyone help me in this case. Thanks a lot!

New created user cannot access OWA

I have a sporadic issue with some new users. As we migrate folks to Exchange, some new accounts created are unable to access their mailbox via OWA (or their personal device). It just keeps responding "The username or passowrd you entered
isn't correct. Try entering it again.".
They never successfully log on (although some have after a few days). I've verified that they have the correct security.
Any ideas?

Try checking the OWA and ActiveSync policies, and comparing to a user that is known to work:
Get-CASMailbox "<mailbox name>" | Select-Object Name,ActiveSyncEnabled,ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy,OWAEnabled,OWAMailboxPolicy

Cannot access OWA or EAC after reboot

Hi All,
For some reason I cant access the OWA or ECP, this effects all users.
There is noe error message, the normal login screen appears, but the login attempt just refreshes the login page, no errorrs or anything to show something is wrong.
This occurred after advisement from certificate supplier to use iiscrypto to update tls settings and reboot.
Really need a bit of help on this please.
Regards
Richard

Assuming you can access the server's desktop via RDP or other means, check if all the Exchange services has started successfully (look for services marked as "Automatic start"). Start them manually if they hasn't. If they refuse to start, check
the Application log for errors and post description of those events here (source/ID/entire message content).
In addition, try to reboot your server one more time. Services can fail to start due to high disk activity (because for Windows Update components working on installing new hotfixes), and the second reboot might solve the problem. This issue can be addressed
by increasing the maximum service start time in the registry.

Cannot access my external HDD

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum, but if someone could help me with this I would be so grateful. A couple of days ago, I was working with my external HDD (Western Digital, 250GB, USB 2.0), when my Macbook (running OS 10.5.6) froze and restarted. Normally I can access the HDD through the orange icon that appears on my Desktop and in Finder, but it is no longer there.
I checked Disk Utility, System Profiler, and USB Prober - and they all appear to recognize a Mass Storage Device. In Disk Utility, I am not able to "mount" but when I click "eject" I get the following message: "Eject Failed. The disk “WDC WD25 00JB-00GVA0 Media” could not be unmounted. Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk." As far as I know, I'm not using anything from this drive.
I have checked the /Volumes/ folder, and there is nothing but the main HDD of my Macbook.
I have a lot of data on this drive that I really need, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Other things that I have tried:
[1] lsof +D /Volumes/ExternalHD could not find my HDD
[2] Tried a new enclosure to rule out faulty wiring, but I get the same results
[3] Also of note, I cannot click "repair disk" in Disk Utility, because it is greyed-out
[4] I have tried using Disk Warrior and Data Rescue II, but they both freeze when my external HDD is running

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
