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.

We're having trouble connecting to the server

HI,
We install SharePoint 2013 on Azure and were using it from clients via vpn connection to our Azure virtual Net.
When trying to edit or add office document from the client we get this error: "we're having trouble connecting to the server..."
sometimes will get the "document is locked ..." which is typical for a document which is still locked by office , I guess its all related to some connection failure from the office client.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to edit or add office document from the client.
Usually a file is locked when a particular user has ‘checked out’ the file for editing purposes. A write lock is created so that no other user can edit this file simultaneously.
There can be numerous reasons for this such as:
         1.    System crashes while the file is still open.
         2.    File has been closed unexpectedly.
         3.    Check in was not successful.
         4.    Network connection is lost while file is still open.
In most of the cases, the write lock still exist for the file so its gives an editing error.
To resolve the issue, you follow the steps in the article as below:
SharePoint error: File is locked for editing by ‘domain\username' : SharePoint Tutorial #6

Failure when connecting MS SQL SERVER from ODI ! could not load JDBS driver

i have some trouble with connecting MS SQL SERVER from ODI.
I have already downland jdbs driver 3.0 (and 2.0 ) and copy the sqljdbc4.jar to D:\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\drivers( where the oracle jdbs driver is already exitst )....but i have this error :
could not load JDBS driver class..
thanks

After more investigation and even more chocolate, we've identified the problem and it's now working. For anyone else who strikes this problem in future, here's something to check/consider/try:
Even though Squirrel SQL Client was connecting and working ok using the MS JDBC driver (v 3.0), it recorded this in its logs:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the INTERSECT operation.
We've found that the open source jTDS driver does not have the same issue as the Microsoft one.
We've installed the current jTDS driver, recorded the driver name (net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver) and the JDBC URL (jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<hostname>:1433/<database>) and the connection is now working fine.
Hope this helps other people...
Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions and things to check...much appreciated.

Unable to connect to Admin Server from second machine using WLST

Hello,
PROBLEM
Can't get WLST to connect to admin server from 2nd host to register the domain.
SETUP
I have 2 Centos VMs running on Oracle Virtual box in a single laptop. Both the VMs use "Bridged Networking".
VM-1 CONFIG
cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.17
dom1 dom1.my mac1
192.168.1.51
centos2 mac2
VM-1 hosts admin server & one managed server
VM-2 CONFIG
192.168.1.51
mac2
192.168.1.17
centos1 mac1
VM-2 hosts just one managed server
I can start up admin on VM-1 fine. The node manager is reachable too. Both the VMs are can be pinged from each other. I can also telnet to the admin server's port ( telnet 192.168.1.17 7001) from the second server.
My HOST OS is Windows 7. I can ping from windows to both the VM IPs too. The reverse is working fine as well.
I've tried both mechanisms of copying the whole domain from machine 1 over to machine2 & also using the pack.sh/unpack.sh combinations to transfer the domains.
When I invoke WLST, this is what happens
./wlst.sh

Hi Raj,
Issue is with NM registry with domain home. Please follow the below steps and let us know the status.
1 . Check whether the node manager port ( default 5556 ) is opened for communication on both Admin and Managed server.
2 . After opening the port - We would need to enroll the node manager home with domain home to establish the communication between Admin and Managed server.
   a . Start the Administration Server.
   b . Using the Administration Console update the Node Manager credentials from the Advanced options under domain_nameArrow symbolSecurityArrow symbolGeneral.
   c . Invoke WLST and connect to an Administration Server using the connect command. See Using the WebLogic Scripting Tool in WebLogic Scripting Tool.
   d . Run nmEnroll using the following syntax:
        nmEnroll([domainDir], [nmHome])
Running nmEnroll() ensures that the correct Node Manager user and password token are supplied to each Managed Server. Once these are available for each Managed Server, you can use nmConnect() in a production environment.
Note:     You must run nmEnroll() on each machine that is running a Managed Server. Additionally, you should run nmEnroll() for each domain directory on each machine.
For more info : General Node Manager Configuration
Thanks

We are having trouble connecting to the server-sign in lync 2013

hello all,
I'm trying to sign in to my lync from my host , all my work is virtual .
under certificate trusted root i put my CA but when i try to connct i have the error: "we are having trouble connecting to the server" knowing that
under \etc , i inser @IP_lyncmachine name_lync_machine and in the option of lync i choose manually
any advice?

You can run the command netstat –ano with command prompt to check whether port 5061 is listening. You also need to create a firewall policy to allow the traffice through 5061 from the subnet the phisical computer locates to Lync Front End Server

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!

Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Unable to connect to WSUS server from the console

I am not able to connect to WSUS server from WSUS console any more suddenly! "please verify that IIS on the server is correctly configured and is running'. I find out that Windows Process Activation Service is stuck in starting.
I killed it with taskkill command but I am not able to restart it. It gives 'Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion'.
There are some suggestion online but I am not comfortable with those solutions, I prefer to be guided by Microsoft TechNet, thanks.

New install issue-unable to connect to DB server from a remote client.

Hi experts,
I am new to setting up oracle server so pls bear with me...
I setup a db server (11g on top of 64bit Oracle Linux) at home (static 192.168.1.90). I verified that db, listener are up and running. However, I tried to connect to the server from a different client machine (192.168.1.108) within my home network but the server cannot be reached. I was able to ping both client and server using the IP addresses and hostnames. I followed the following steps to perform troubleshooting but was unable to move on beyond step 3, telnet-ing the server on port 1521. Can someone help me out what I should do make the port # (1521) is reachable by the client?
1. Check with "ping" using the IP address ("ping 198.11.34.43"
2. Check with "ping" using DNS name (e.g. "tnsping uranus")
3. Try telnet to the IP on port 1521 (telnet 1.2.3.4 1521)
4. Check with "tnsping" using TNS service name
5. Invoke SQL*Plus from the OS command line "sqlplus fred@flintstone". If this fails, check to ensure that your listener is the flintstone service defined.
6. Sign-on to SQL*Plus and connect with the TNS name ("connect fred/flintstome@service_name"
7. Within SQL*Plus, try a select from table@remote_db_link
thanks a lot in advance.

Trying to restore ipod from icloud backup "trouble connecting to the server"

I'm attempting to restore my son's iPod Touch from his iCloud backup. It's connecting to WiFi just fine, then I tell it that I need to restore from iCloud backup, and it asks me to sign him in.
When I sign him in, it seems to accept it, then goes to the "Birthday" screen and asks for his birthday. When I put in his correct birth date, it then takes me to the "Terms and Conditions" screen, and I accept that.
The very next thing I see is a popup that says "Could Not Sign In. There was a problem connecting to the server."
Every time. No explanation of what this means.
I apologize if this has been answered already, but I've googled it and searched it in these forums for days with no real luck.
Anyone who can help, I appreciate it!

After two hours I learned that they "birthday" question is a creating a bug on itunes account server. In order to fix this problem you will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and put another birthday date that is not the original birthday date you submitted.

I have three computers on which I have installed Outlook 2011. All three are running Mavericks. On one of them, a MacBook air, I have established an outlook account connecting to my OSX server with no problems. On the other two computers when I set the parameters the same way, I cannot establish an outlook account. When I use Apple Mail on any of the three machines, I am able to establish accounts for iCloud and the OSX server with no problems. Can anyone point me to the source of this problem or a method for trouble shooting it?

Cant connect to OSX server over network in recovery mode

Hi guys.
First of all, thanks for any help you can give me.
I am running osx server on a mavericks mac mini on a home network. Attached to it I have a 1tb hard drive to which all the macs in my house use time machine to back up over my network and they are stored there.
I have just formatted one of my macs and want to restore it from these time machine backups that are on the osx server on my network.
When i enter recovery mode from boot (COMMAND R), it can see the "backups" on networks "Matts-Mac-Mini" but when i then click "CONNECT" it says "Enter your name and password for the server "Matts-Mac-Mini/local" so that Time Machine can access it.
It gives me a box with NAME and PASSWORD and a CONNECT button.
By DEFAULT the "NAME" it starts with is "root".......which I dont understand.
I have tried every single iteration of names and passwords I can think of but it still wont connect, it either shakes the box or gives an error saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Matts-Mac-mini.local". Check the server name of IP address and then try again".
I have tried the log in details for the osx server, the login details for the mac im trying to connect from, used root as the username, tried capitals, no capitals, spaces no spaces etc. I am at a total loss and about to tear my hair out!!
Is there anyone able to give me any help with this please, I would be SO grateful!
Many thanks,
hardtofin

I think I have isolated the password, with a certain username and password the box never shakes and instead gives the error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "Matts-Mac-mini.local". Check the server name of IP address and then try again".
Are you able to offer any help with this? I dont see why i can't connect to it, if the imac can already see it?
Many thanks again,

How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

Hi,
I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
Thanks,
Don

If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps
