Trouble connecting to Mac VPN from Windows box

I have a Mac OS X server with VPN services turned on. Both IPSec L2TP and PPTP are enabled.
From a remote office ( Across the hall and different IP address / network ) I can connect to the VPN from a Mac G5 no problem ( Using PPTP ) actually ANY Mac remotely with no problem.
However, I cannot connect using either PPTP or L2TP with a Windows machine. I get the following error
Error 691: Access was denied because the username and/or password was invalid on the domain.
There is a AD/DC windows box on the network I am trying to VPN in..... however, the router is set to send all VPN traffic to the Mac not the Windows box.
Any ideas? (if you need further information, let me know. )

Trouble connecting to PPTP VPN from a Windows XP computer

I am having problems getting OS X Server 10.6 to accept an incoming PPTP connection from a Windows XP Home client (I have had no problems connecting from an OS X client)
The error on the Windows side is "721" - Server did not respond.
The error in the VPN log is repeated several times until it timesout the connection attempt:

Okay, I decided to start over -- I reformatted and decide to try L2TP w/ IPSEC.
Got it working from a Mac client.
But when I try and connect from Windows XP (tried from several machines, too), it just times out and this time nothing in the error log.
After I try it several times, it eventually starts repeating the following errors every 5 or 10 seconds, and once it gets stuck in this loop, I can't connect from OS X either!
2010-06-03 18:07:27 EDT Health control check: server is sick...
2010-06-03 18:07:28 EDT Health control check: server is back to normal...
I have tried turning off the firewall completely on Windows, on the server, and on the router (using DMZ). Nothing seems to help.
I am about ready to tear my hair out! I would greatly appreciate any input, suggestions, etc. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to resize a mac partition from windows?

Here's what's going on. I originally wanted to use Disk Utility to do this, which is clearly the easy way to do things, but my computer is so slow that Disk Utility immediately becomes unresponsive upon wanting to resize -any- partition. The windows side works fine though, it isn't slow as crap. Is there a way to resize the mac partition from windows (HFS+)? Any possible way? Even crazy ones? I'm open to suggestions.
Oh yeah, and in case you want to know...my Mac Mini just randomly started getting really, really slow, so slow in fact, that now my old iMac from 1999 is faster (it doesn't even have ANY RAM!). I tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, multiple times, booting into safe mode takes forever, but I left it for awhile and it finished. Almost worked, the finder showed up quicker than usual, but then it reverted back to it's slow self again once I opened Disk Utility. I tried booting into single user mode and typing /sbin/fsck -fy, and it's so slow, that it couldn't even do that! It got stuck at checking libraries or something, for hours, and i could type things in still, but it wouldn't recognize any commands (ie fsk - fy). I also cannot replace the RAM because it is an older mac mini and those things are hard as f*** to repair, trust me, i've tried. The weirdest part of all of this has to be that this is the computer that we DON'T download many apps onto, so it most likely isn't bloatware, adware, a virus or something else. We download most stuff to our MacBook, and go to the sketchy websites on it as well (it really should be the other way around, the mac mini would be around 3x less expensive to replace, it's just that it's the family computer). And that's always slow, but this surpassed it (btw, the laptop is a year or so older). I do not have the installation disk.
Can someone help? Mainly about the first thing...please. The second thing is hopeless, I will need to get a new computer pretty soon, and these macs don't last as long as they used to I guess, we'd most likely get a quality Windows PC to replace it, this has been a disappointment. I'm just trying to get a little more life out of it with Linux, maybe a year or two. That's what i've done with my old iMac. Runs GREAT. Especially for a 13 year old computer. The thing is, my folks don't want me to completely eliminate the mac partition even though it's virtually unusuable.

I'm not really understanding what the end goal was. But in case anyone else comes across the thread, neither the built-in Windows volume resizing utility nor any 3rd party Windows resizing utility should be used to resize either the Windows partition or the Mac OS partition. Invariably they all manipulate the NTFS volume in such a way that the secondary GPT is corrupt, the primary GPT is rendered invalid, and only correctly alter the MBR. It's a recipe for data loss.
Conversely, while Disk Utility can resize a Mac OS volume, it cannot resize an NTFS volume. With Lion and Mountain Lion, upon using Boot Camp Assistant there are already four partitions: EFI System, Mac OS, Recovery HD, and Windows. There is no more room for a fifth partition in the MBR partition scheme, and if you try to add one, Disk Utility will apparently let you and render Windows unbootable (because Disk Utility adds the fifth partition to the GPT, but can't add it to the MBR, and instead removes the hybrid MBR needed for Windows support and replaces it with a PMBR.)
So in effect this is not to be done except with 3rd party utilities.

Connecting a Mac to a Window's 2008 small business server

I'm looking to purchase an iMac to use at work. Everyone else in the office uses a PC and are connected to our current Window's 2008 server. I would be the only person using a Mac. Is there any way to connect a Mac to the server?

There should be no problems connecting the Mac to a Windows server for file sharing. I do it every day. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
If there are Windows-based programs that you will need to use, you may need to run Windows on the Mac for those programs, but there are several very practical ways to accomplish that.
Regards.

Trouble connecting to OSX server from XP domain members

Can someone help me out with a problem connecting to our OS X server from Windows XP? Basically, I only have trouble connecting from XP machines that are members of the domain.
Here are some details:
OS X Server 10.3.9, bound to domain through Active Directory.
Windows Services role = Domain Member.
Computer name (under Windows Services) = macserver
Connects fine from Macs via Network>Domain>macserver
macserver IP address: 192.168.1.5
Sharing 1 folder to all members of the domain.
I can connect fine from OS X computers and XP computers that are NOT members of the domain
I can connect from XP domain members via the IP address \\192.168.1.5
I cannot connect from XP domain members via Network Neighborhood>Domain>macserver, or by entering the computer name. Error message recieved: "The account is not authorized to log on from this location."
I can ping macserver from any xp machine and it resolves the IP address.
I can browse the webserver on OSX Server via http://macserver.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric

I can't remember how I resolved this. I think I had a number of problems, for instance, spaces in fileshare names. I might also have set up the domain incorrectly. Who knows.

Migrating to Mac Pro from Windows intensive GIS modelling only in WinXP..

Hi all,
I have some cash for a new workstation and have been pondering moving to a Mac as I am frustrated with Windows for som many reasons. I am a scientist who does a lot of modelling, luckily software such as R is available on Mac so I am happy with that. However, I am stuck with some windows dependency due to ArcGIS which is windows only.
I have several questions:
1. I have a couple of existing machines that have cheapo PCI-E Sil3132 RAID cards that run RAID 0 on two 1TB disks as swap. It should be possible to use this in Bootcamp no problems as Windows has drivers for it, but could I access this array through OSX and importantly, through Parallels so I could use the Mac and Windows at the same time?
2. I have several external arrays that use the ESATA connection from some RAID cards, however, these are all in NTFS format. Can I read/write to these disks in OSX? I am confused by an abundance of posts which say yes, no but yes in Snow Leopard..
3. Reading people's comments, it is widely accepted to steer clear of the Mac RAID card as it is overpriced. Is it also not compatible with Windows?
4. Do you guys think it is worth it to move? I could just go down the PC route again and get a similar spec machine as to the Mac Pro, but I can't tell you how much Windows upsets me sometimes.
Any advice at all is appreciated.
Thanks,
A

Dual boot though makes things more complex and doesn't sound like running Windows programs in a VM is going to help.
Therefore a lot to convert, consider, and limitations.
Don't know how well if at all Parallels 6 will work with your arrays.
Swap. Put your system on an SSD, be sure to have enough RAM, because Mac OS and users avoid swapping and pageouts like the plague.
A Mac Pro can be a fine Windows only system, suitable almost, and similar to others that use Xeon processor.
Burn out hits everyone, but maybe if you could get past that and build a new system from ground up that meets your needs and expectations, that would be easier.
NTFS write ability is not hard to add, but is not native to OS X either.
Disclaimer: I run my Mac Pro as Windows 99% and have played around with some PC controller cards and Mac controller cards, and there is always trouble with cross platform.
As for Mac Pro, $4k+ for 3.33GHz 6-core 3 x 8GB RAM buys a lot of hardware, and in PC realm something that can be clocked much higher and more RAM...

Can only connect to smb share from Windows as "nobody"

I'm trying to share some folders on my Mac using samba. When I connect from Windows, I do not get asked for a username and password, and I get connected as a guest user (nobody). What do I do to get connected as a real user? I've tried playing with /etc/smb.conf, but I'm not sure what to change.

when you enable smb in haring system preferences on your mac, did you check the box to enable smb on a specific account?
if you did, when you initiate smb from windows try entering
smb://[email protected]
instead of
smb://mac.ip.address

Accessing a USB hard drive connected to a AEBS from Windows XP SP2

Hi everybody my problem is this, I am using the AEBS. I have an iMac G5 and a Sony vaio laptop running Windows XP SP2. After some initial problems both connect to the Internet and if I attach a USB printer to the AEBS both allow you to print remotely however if I attach an external hard drive only the iMac can access it. The airport disk agent for Windows pops up that a disk has become available but when you try to access it you get an alert message that says, “unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype login information or contact the disk’s administrator.” If you click on the preferences in Airport Disk, in Windows, no disk is visible although the disk is visible in the Airport Utility! I have tried different hard drives and all the different settings in the Airport Utility for accessing a USB hard drive connected to the AEBS and get the same message regardless. HELP1

Hi John,
My hard drive is already formatted to fat 32. If I "check disks" in AirPort Utillity in windows it see's the disk and knows how much free and used space there is on it. It also knows when I'm accessing the disk from my iMac but when I try to connect to the hard drive from windows I just get the error message in my first post. When I click on AirPort Disk in windows my base station name doesn't appear, it does on my mac. I tried you suggestion but it hasn't helped. Thanks anyway. If you've got any other suggestion i'll gladly give them a try.
Thanks again.

Director 11 - Publishing Mac Projector from Windows

When publishing a Mac projector file from Windows XP, the
files created do not function correctly when I test them on a
Macintosh computer (OS 10.5). Even though I publish as a projector,
the application is not self running and will display a message that
Shockwave is required to run the program. The program will run
properly on Macintosh computers that have Shockwave installed.
It seems that the files that are created in the Frameworks
folder (within the .app/Contents folder) have data in their
resource forks and this gets stripped off on the Windows system. I
thought Director 11 had resolved this issue so that you could
publish a cross-platform projector that would be ready-to-run.
If I move the .app folder to a Mac and replace the Frameworks
folder with a Frameworks folder that has been created with Director
11 on a Macintosh system, the program runs correctly without a
Shockwave install.
Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a fix for
it? I need to be able to publish both Windows projectors and Mac
projectors from my Windows system.

Hi Phil,
thanks. You're right, it's impossible to set icon or background image, but it seems to work stable.
Do you know, if the D11.5MAC-generated projector works under MAC OS 9 / WIN95/98/NT/2000/Vista/7?
I feel sorry for you because of the UDF file system. Therefore I have no idea.
But apple has changed the way how files are connected with their applications. You can now (since 10.5) define that all files with a certain file extension has to be opened with a concrete program. But I also know that it doesn't work correctly in all cases. So may be it has something to do with that instead the way how the ROM is read with 10.5+ opposed to 10.4
Am 11.12.2009 um 16:20 schrieb PhilGibson:
From what I understand, the "Mac & PC" option in Toast will make a disc that is pretty much compatible with most OSs.
It allows you to specify separate files for the Mac and the PC side of things. What it doesn't do is let you set icon layout or a background image for the window, like the Custom Hybrid option does.
I've personally used "Mac & PC" discs on Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, Windows 98 SE, XP, and Vista with no issues.
This is great if it can solve you problems. I just wish there was a solution for making the Mac projectors work as ROM content on DVDs (UDF volumes), which is what I'm working with 75% of the time as of late. It's primarily 10.5 and newer where the issue pops up, as Apple seems to have done something with how the ROM portion is read with 10.5+ as opposed to 10.4.

Access to Mac HD from Windows

Can I access files on the Mac OS partition from Windows via Bootcamp?
I would like to have all of my files in one location.

Hi folks - and a special nod of gratitude to Fortuny,
I didn't mean to "hi-jack" this thread, so my apologies to MtnMac2.
But to the point of info for all - I loaded the two utes suggested by Fortuny - and WOW! without a hitch nor hiccup, it worked beautifully. I can read/write to ALL of my BootCamp partition while booted in MacOS 10.5.6. Very slick.
I spent nearly a half an hour dragging all of the files from my VMware directory into the new BootCamp "My Documents" and further into sub-directories. I was able to rename files IN THAT PC directory, create folders, sub-folders, etc., all while booted in Leopard.
What I haven't done yet is see what the Mac side looks like while booted in XP-Pro - I suspect it will be the same trouble-free ease of use. In fact, I now know more about this than the local "Genius" at the bar at one of my neighborhood Apple Stores. (shocker...)
And the best part? These utilities are FREE. While I don't doubt the functionality of Hatter's suggestion (he's ALWAYS spot on!!) - this was the immediate path of least financial resistance.
Thanks again Fortuny - and I'll follow-up IF and only if I hit trouble from within XP-Pro - just to share the experience with this wonderful community of users and experts!
Peace,

Cannot connect to L2TP VPN from iOS devices

This weekend I decided to perform a hard drive upgrade on my little 2009 Mac mini that I run as a homespun server as a hobby. In the process, I thought it would be worthwhile to flatten the whole thing and start again from fresh.
However, in doing so, I no longer seem to be able to connect to it's VPN from an iOS device. Both my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) and iPad 3rd Gen (iOS 8.1.3) cannot connect to the VPN server over an L2TP connection – either on my local network or over 3G, even if the local IP is provided instead of a host name.
Interestingly though, my MacBook Pro has no issues connecting over L2TP when tethered to my iPhone's 4G. It can dial back home and authenticate successfully.
The settings are exactly the same on both as both are governed under a single profile containing the VPN settings and login details.
It used to work before the hard drive upgrade, but can't remember the last time I used VPN on my iPhone. Just wondering if this is a bug in iOS 8.1.x?
iOS reports "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". Additionally, there is absolutely nothing in the Server's console for VPN or 'racoon'. In the past when I've had issues, the connect is made but doesn't authenticate or some such. This just doesn't get to the server in any way shape or form.
Any ideas?

I believe the problem is in iOS, as I am experiencing the same issue.
I have a Yosemite Server running L2TP VPN server and my Mac connects flawless, while neither the iPhone nor the iPad (both 8.2) are able to connect.
The error is the same "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond" and by looking at the server's log it seems iOS didn't even try to connect.
I have tried changing the server address in iOS with the corresponding IP, but the results it's the same.
Maybe a network setting reset?

Remote control a Mac server from Windows machines

I'm running a Mavericks Server that I'd like to get off my desk and put in the data center. However, my primary laptop is a Windows 8.1 laptop that I use to support other things. I'd still like the ability to remote into the Mac Server from my Windows laptop. I know that I can VNC into the server, but it's my understanding that if I have Remote Management turned on, I can't have Screen Sharing (and thus, VNC) turned on. So it seems like my options are to run another VNC server on a different port or use LogMeIn Ignition. But I'm not sure what other people are using so I'd like your help. Thoughts? Suggestions?
TIA

As you have found via the answer provided by Morgan R, it is possible to configure Remote Management to allow standard VNC clients to connect just like it is possible with Screen Sharing.
Note: Remote Management does everything Screen Sharing does plug other things. So anything you can do via Screen Sharing you can do via Remote Management.
However there is a client available for Windows that does support the extended login information used by Remote Management/Screen Sharing, this is 'Remotix' by Nulana.
See http://www.nulana.com/remotix-windows/
I have tried it and it does work. I did however find one serious bug which I have reported to them but I don't know if they have fixed it yet.
Over the years I have found many in fact nearly all software that involves linking Mac and Windows where one controls the other in either direction has suffered an inexcusable bug whereby if you are not using US keyboards at both ends then several keys will not be mapped properly and you can even end up with some keys not usable at all. The most infamous combination is the @ and " keys being swapped.
All these programs appear to have been written by Americans who are members of the 'flat earth' society and obviously believe that if you leave the shores of the USA you will fall of the edge of the world. I presume they also are avid fans of the Discworld series of books.
Offenders include Virtual PC, Microsoft Remote Desktop Client 1.0 (for Mac), Timbkutu Pro, Remotix and I am sure many others.
Note: Microsoft did at least fix theirs several years later with Remote Desktop Client 2.0 (for Mac).
The one noteable exception is VNC. VNC was originally developed at AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge, England. (Not New England.)
See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/ I am sure if it had been developed in Cambridge, Massachusetts it would have suffered the same problem. Since Screen Sharing on Macs is based on VNC it has never suffered this problem even when controlling a PC via VNC. I am therefore even more shocked that Nulana managed to make this mistake.

Error 807/800 - using PPTP VPN from Windows 7/XP t...

Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me? I've had this issue for about 3 months now and I’m completely at a loss now. I’m trying to connect remotely to a Windows 2003 server via Windows VPN (PPTP) from home. This had been working fine for months (Draytek 2830n purchased in Feb 2011), there has been no configuration changes beforehand to cause the problem.
Problem
From Windows 7 PC – I receive Error 807 – “The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be caused by a problem in the VPN transmission and is commonly the result of internet latency or simply that your VPN server has reached capacity. Please try to reconnect to the VPN server. If this problem persists, contact the VPN administrator and analyze quality of network connectivity”
From a Windows XP PC – I receive Error 800 - Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be unreachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection”
Steps Taken
I have carried out the following steps to trying and resolve the issue:-
Setup port 1723 on router(s)
Swapped out router for a completely different model
Upgraded firmware on Drayek 2830N
Tried various laptops and desktop PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7
Switched off local windows firewalls and Norton Anti-virus software
Opted out of BT Web Address Help service
Rebuilt the Windows 2003 Server and setup remote access again.
Tested the desktops and laptops that didn’t work at home from various locations (work, friends houses) and they work fine from another location (so this rules out the Windows 2003
The only thing that I can’t swap out is my BT line to the Exchange. Any ideas or suggestions would be extremely helpful. I’m thinking it must be a problem with my ADSL connection, perhaps the traffic is being blocked (for some reason) as I’ve explored all other avenues. I’m out of contract with BT now (although I don’t want to move ISP) I might end up having to if it solves the problem.
Many thanks for looking.
Steve
