Unable to Establishing an anonymously accessible file share on Windows 2008 R2 (SP1)

So far I tried all this to no avail, server keeps prompting me for username/password when I try to access such share from non-domain
Windows computer:
this is what i tried:
1.  Enable the guest account
2.  Add the everyone group to both the share and the security permissions.
3.  Open the Local Security Policy
4.  Network Access:  Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users = Enabled
5.  Network Access:  Named Pipes that can be accessed anonymously = (add) sharename
6.  Network
Access:  Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares = Disabled
7.  Network Access:  Shares that can be accessed anonymously = (add) sharename
am i missing something here?
Thanks
Guy

Hi,
This is because it will use the current logged on account to authenticate the access - as the same account exists in target computer, if password is different then you will fail to access the folder.

  • FIrewall for Windows File Share for windows 2008

    Hi All,
    Recently we upgraded one of our application file server from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008. We use this server for file sharing. We used to read files and write files to this server. Post upgrade one week every thing went fine all of a sudden we started seeing
    issues like the application servers stopped communicated to this server. 
    We worked with our firewall team and enabled port 445 post this the application servers started communicating to the file server. Our Application servers are on Windows 2003 server.
    Can someone please help me understand what is the port that needs to be enabled for accessing the file shares. My firewall team confirmed there were no firewalls rules between the Application server and File server. 

    Hi,
    Based on my research, firewall ports required for SMB file sharing are port 445 and 139.
    More information for you:
    SMB: File and printer sharing ports should be open

  • Auditing file share on windows 2008 R2

    I think I may need a little handholding here. I have been working with our new Windows 2008 R2 file server. I am having a problem doing some simple file level auditing.
    I turned on Audit Object Access in the local policy. The GPO that applies to this server does not have it set and I only really need it enabled on this server. I have it auditing success and Failure.
    After I did that I got deluged with Event ID: 5145. I went to each folder and made sure that I had auditing turned off for each folder and file. I did that to see if it would quite down the logs a little. It did not. I am currently getting about 1500 events of 5145 every second. They all say “ A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access”

  • How-to hide the portal file shares on Windows

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to hide the default file shares created by SAP NW 04 in windows?
    In other words: what I'm trying to accomplish is renaming the sapmnt share and saploc share (both on the E:\usr\sap\ folder) to sapmnt$ and saploc$.
    I know how to do the Windows part, but where and how do I configure the SAP Web AS part?
    Regards,
    Steven Dijkman

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for all the feedback.  However, this still does not fully work.
    I tried hiding the folder but it in fact only hides the folder, not the share itself. I'm trying to do the opposite, hiding the share (making it an administrative one) whilst not hiding the folder. With the folder hidden, the startup framework (NW 04 EP6 SP12) does not work.
    By the way: checking / tightening access is not an option: security architects dictate what needs to happen here and unless I have VERY good reasons I should comply to what they say: change saploc to saploc$ and change sapmnt to sapmnt$.
    If anybody has anymore thoughts, I'd be very interested.
    Cheers,

  • Accessing Mac File Share from Windows Server 2003

    I currently have a windows domain that has a few Mac OS x leopard servers on it. I can map a drive to the Mac share using windows XP and Windows Vista, but I cannot map the drive in Windows Server 2003. I have enabled the Windows Sharing on the Mac server, and enabled the Mac File Sharing on the Windows server, but the windows server does not find the Mac server. I can ping the Mac server by FQDN and IP, but when I go to map a drive to it I get the error:
    The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred: An unexpected network error occurred.
    I have also checked the Local Security Policies, and did not find anything that would cause the issue. Any ideas anyone?

  • Mount NAS Share in Windows 2008 R2 using CIFS

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to setup NAS file share mounted to Windows 2008 R2 server using CIFS. This share needs to be visible for all users who logged in to the server and should be a permanent share. I have gone through the below link on the steps to connect
    NAS share using Windows NFS client.
    http://randypaulo.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/nfs-how-to-connect-to-nfs-using-windows-server-2008-r2-without-using-user-mapping-server/
    As per the above link we will need to mount the NAS share using a Unix User ID and Group ID. But in our environment its not possible and we have to use Windows Active directory user account and group name. Due to this reason why we want the CIFS to be placed.
    So if anyone has got different opinions please share with us. Also please let us know if anyone has got any idea how to do this setup.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kiran Francis

    Hi,
    Do you mean that the NFS share is stored on a Windows-Based computer and you want Authenticated users access the NFS share?
    Please refer to the article below to use command line to mount NFS share:

  • Sapjup cannot find correct shares on Windows 2008 R2 cluster

    Hello Guru's,
    I have succesfully installed CRM 5 Abap+Java on Windows 2008 R2 based hardware. This is a HA setup.
    I am now in the process of upgrading to CRM 7.01. Unfortunately, the java upgrade program SAPjup runs into an error (share
    Host_A\sapmnt does not exist)  I cannot solve up to now.
    This is my setup:
    I have two application servers: Host_A and Host_B. Both servers form a Microsoft Failover Cluster. The shared disk for the abap and java central services is the F:\ drive, the cluster name is Cluster_X.
    The Central Instance is installed on the local disk G:\ of Host_A; The Dialog instance on local disk G:\ of Host_B.
    As instructed in the manual, I have moved the SAP cluster to Host_A and started the the upgrade process on G:\ drive of the same host.
    During the phase PREPARE/INIT/INPUT_SAPSERVICESID_PWD_HA, the SAPjup program is trying to map the
    Host_A\sapmnt share to a drive letter ('net use' command). This step results in an error.
    I can explain this error since the proper share in my opinion should be
    Cluster_X\sapmnt instead of
    Host_A\sapmnt.
    In Windows 2003 this was not a problem, because
    Cluster_X\sapmnt and
    Host_A\sapmnt can both be accessed and refers to the same disk location when the cluster group is active on Host_A. However, in Windows 2008 R2 this is not the case anymore and
    Host_A\sapmnt is not a valid share.
    Has any one of you run into this same problem or have suggestions how to solve?
    Rob Veenman
    SAP Technology.

    I owe you an answer for the issue we had.
    I opened a message with SAP, and got acklowledge that this is indeed a bug in SAPJup. SAP is working on a solution.
    The work around (which was succesful) was as follows:
    1. I moved the SAP Cluster group to Host_B (the DI host).
    2. I created g:\sapmnt on Host_A and copied content from the shared drive
    Cluster_X\sapmnt
    to this local drive.
    3. I shared diretory g:\sapmnt with share name sapmnt on Host_A and gave
    SAP_<SID>_GlobalAdmin Read/write access.
    Now SAPJup can continue. At the next interrup, you can remove the local directory g:\sapmnt and move the cluster disk back to Host_A.
    I will give an update and close this thread as soon as I get a definitive solution from SAP AG for this issue.

  • Unable to open accounts system preference and share to windows accounts.

    I have one intel iMac running 10.4.11 with AD integration. Everything works well except when I try to open the accounts preferences.

    then extract what you need from your Install Disk & Install it, search for accounts.
    Or, If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • How can I map a drive to Azue file shares without user intervention or having a user logged on?

    I have the file share created, and can manually map the drive. I have even created a batch file that will create the drive mapping.  One step further, I used the following regedit to create the mapped drive:
    Regedit:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    add new string value:
    value name:  MapS
    value data:  c:\azurefileshare.bat
    I have a scheduled task running a batch file running the net use command, and the drive is available, and I can create/delete files, so access is not an issue.
    All works fine if I log onto the server, however, what I am trying to accomplish, is to have that drive mapped upon reboot without having a user log on.   Checking the log file running the net use command when no one is logged on, I get the following:
    Status       Local     Remote                    Network
    Unavailable  S:        path of file share
    Microsoft Windows Network
    The command completed successfully.
    New connections will be remembered.
    Is there a way to accomplish this?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello wdick,
    Thank you for your response and getting back on this issue. I am sorry that the blog that I referred to was not available. I pretty much thought that you must be referring to the ‘File Services’ which is in preview yet. I recently had another user with a similar
    question but currently, the users can access the files using only 'Interactive logon'. You can refer to this link:

  • Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

    We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share.  What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
    the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions?  I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings.  I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
    but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings.  Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
    change each one of them manually in the report manager?
    Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cygnus46,
    Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
    In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
    table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
    the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
    wiperzeus from this similar thread:
    Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V

    My attempts to install are failing with a message "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing....Error code: 0x800705070".
    I am posting this on the Wondows 2012 Server forum but I have had exactly the same problem as described below with Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
    As the title says this is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 host with all current updates. I have downloaded the ISO file from a Technet subscription file twice, once by direct download and once by the Akamai downloader. The virtual disk is connected with
    the default IDE driver. I mounted both installation images as ISOs, located on a file system on the host server.  I have tried installs by deleting the VM and recreating both the VM and a new virtual disk, re-using a previously created virtual disk, and
    deleting the partitions in a previously created virtual disk, and executing the format command, and then attempting the install.
    I have exactly the same problem trying to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM on the same host OS.  With those attempts, I downloaded the Technet subscription iso 4 or 5 times, and burned one to a DVD which I attached to the created VM.  Same
    error message.
    The virtual machines and virtual disks I created and used were all located on an RAID5 array, on a builtin Intel RAID controller using Intel Rapid Storage Technology software version 11.2.0.1066.  The host Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 uses this file system
    but the OS is installed on a dedicated drive (C).
    I had previously created a guest VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 (several months worth of updates ago) without drama.
    I have spent hours reading forums and blog articles on this.  A common response is to download the iso another time, and/or burn it to a DVD instead of mounting an iso image. Although I didn't do the later yet with 2012 Server, but I have done these
    other steps attempting to install Windows 2008 Server SP1. The install process takes a while (not to mention doing multiple downloads). Given this seems to be a common recommended remedy, and indeed based on posts does seem to eliminate the problem is some
    cases, why doesn't somebody change the Microsoft installer program so it does a thorough integrity check at the beginning of the install process?

    Jeff,
    After the exercise of Windows 2012 Server successfully installing (as I described above) I also successfully installed Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V.  From my standpoint, I have eliminated the problem (which isn't the same as correcting the problem).
    The answer to your specific question regarding Hyper-V support is that the motherboard I am using, an Asus P5Q, is not supported by Windows 2008 R2 because it doesn't use ECC memory, and the vendor doesn't say it supports Windows 2008. But I am sure you
    know the motherboard vendors often don't test older motherboards with newer software versions.  It appears that in specifying ECC memory Microsoft is trying to protect users of Windows Server from hurting themselves, not saying the software won't run.
    Having said that, my suspicion in the beginning was, and still is, that it was some variable(s) left in an unknown state in the Hyper-V environment, which was why after trying to install Windows 2008 R2 several times I tried Windows 2012 which resulted in
    the same error, and then encountered the same error trying to install Windows 7 on the same Hyper-V installation. The specific Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 server had run without any operating problems for months before I started having trouble, and although it
    had been quite a while since I had created VMs, that process used to work.  The hardware didn't change. What changed was applying updates through Microsoft Update, and a few access control rights I changed, and at least I think, I set back to their original
    value.
    So in short, no, my hardware isn't supported by Windows 2008 Server.  Two, your assertion that you are running the same software configuration that I am is very unlikely to be true. There are an extremely large number of things which are different between
    your test system and mine, such as which Windows 2008 components are installed, what updates were installed and in what order they were installed, and what other third party software each of us is running, and between AD, and all the features, a large number
    of potential differences in ACLs, options, etc. and I don't for a minute think this particular problem was caused by the underlying hardware.
    I do appreciate your taking the time to try to help me, and I hope there is one thing you and I could agree on. Microsoft could pretty easily make it much easier to isolate problems. In this day and age reporting hex error codes (as opposed to doing the
    table lookup in the error handling proc), and not providing more diagnostic information seems to me to be almost quaint.  And in this case Microsoft can dismiss my problems on the grounds it was all on unsupported hardware. Unfortunately, I think they
    are missing an opportunity to make their software better, because in my opinion what I encountered there are a set of conditions which will cause installations to fail that aren't going to get corrected.

  • PS CS5 Write Acess Error saving to a windows 2008 server share

    Hi Everyone,
    Our macs are running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and we save/open files on a Windows 2008 Server via SMB,
    this particular problem, seems to be happening only with Photoshop:
    Sometime, when we try to save an image, photoshop returns a write access error
    at that time, if you go to the finder and take a look at the folder, the file had simply vanished.
    If you close the image, all lost.
    Everything is fine with Indesign and illustrator.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!
    Thank you all very much in advance.
    William

    Thanks for the reply Chris,
    I am trying to look for a solution on the Mac OS side, this problem happens from time to time.
    People keep trying to use Active Directory and log macs on it, it's always a problem.
    And to make things worse, apple changes the way Mac OS handles network tasks,
    they did it with 10.5 and 10.6. Well, we have to deal with that, right?
    Thanks again
    All the best
