Unable to join Mac OS X 10.7.4 to windows server 2008 Standard SP2 Domain

Hi everyone,
I have an issue regarding the above, i have to connect several MBK pro using OS X 10.7.4 to a Windows Server 2008 Standard Service Pack 2.
I tried joining it using Static IP configurations, and using Domain names but it returns an error as Unable to connect to server and an error code 5302.
Please does anybody have a hint to this issue.....your help will be most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Iven.

I have verified every required settings closely and had it cross checked over and over again with the network administrator himself, every settings was in place but when i tried to bind with the domain it returns server not found.
I also ping the server and it works....i verified the RJ45 cable...all is fine.
i tried updating from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 but the problem persists.
Infact originally i had to bind the Mac OS X 10.7.3 and 10.7.4 to a Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2, it didn't worked then afterwards i tried to bind them to a Windows Server 2008 R2....it worked on 2 but on the third it didn't.
So does anybody have an idea or can anyone confirm me if Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.4???

Macs will not show up on DNS Windows Server 2008 R2

In our office, we have a Windows Server Infrastructure with several Macs (Imacs, mac pros, macbook airs etc).
Active Directory and DNS is running off a Windows Server 2008 R2 Server, with DHCP on a Cisco Router.
DHCP is configured to direct all DNS entries to the Windows DNS Server.
The problem that I'm having is that, while all windows machines show up on the Windows DNS Server, None of the Macs are registered. Macs are able to utilize the DNS Server correctly, but will not register on the DNS Listings.
Because I cannot access or ping Macs via their hostname, I cannot tell our third party backup software to point to a particular machine. Our workstations are all DHCP enabled, and since assigning a static ip to all the Macs here is not an option, I need to get this working, so that I can get our macs backing up.
I've followed a few similar articles, but they appear to be for older 2003 servers, which the 2008 R2 servers do not have those options. I do not want to join the Macs onto the windows domain, I merely want to get them registered on our DNS server.
The mac operating systems vary between Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1421684?start=0&tstart=0 <--- Article I was following
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure that the DNS registration stuff is part of the Active Directory plug-in on OS X. I'd recommend you give it a try.
GPOs are not enforced on the Macs if they're bound to Active Directory, _unless_ you've extended the Active Directory schema (which is a lot of work). The main benefits to joining Macs to AD ar:
* Centralized password management and policies (as you've defined in AD).
* Single sign-on to various kerberized resources (i.e. Windows share points and internal web pages if you're using IIS and you use Kerberos to secure them, rather than NTLM).
Here's an Apple white paper which may help. I would recommend you read this carefully and then decide whether or not you want to bind the Macs to AD. I'd also recommend you test with a bound Mac to see if resolves this "host name in DNS" issue... I suspect it will.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.

Error binding mac os x 10.7 to server 2008 standard

Hi guys,
I have an issue......i have to join a MBK pro to a server and below are the details:
I have Mac OS X 10.7.4 latest updates installed on the mbk pro and i have a windows server 2008 standard service pack 2.
when i tried to join the domain it returns an authentication error i tried every possibilities but in vain......anyone out there tried it before?????

You could try booting from an external USB hard drive and using a data recovery utility like Data Rescue X. Your mileage will vary depending on the circumstances. I would only try recovering data files and not recover the whole system. No sense fooling with an OS when it is trivial to reinstall and know it is working. Make an image of a freshly configured OS to aid in recovery like this.
Retrieve your documents & preferences if you are lucky. The data may still be there, but file names and other meta data may not be recoverable. If file names are not recoverable, then you will have tons of files to sort through trying to make sense of what is what. They are sorted by type, but you will be surprised at the number of such files used by the system and in temp/cache files. I recently had a case where someone deleted a bunch of files and then emptied the Trash. I got the files back, but with no file names. I was unable to find a way to retrieve the file names and even asked a forensic recovery expert for any reasonably priced software to do it.
If this is your only Apple computer and you need to make a bootable external drive, then make sure to install OSX on the external drive and not on the internal drive you are trying to recover.

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

Unable to mount dfs volume from Windows Server 2008 R2

I am trying to use Finder|Go|Connect to Server to connect to a DFS volume shared by a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I get the following errors:
A dialog box that says, "There was a problem connecting to the server "server name". Contact your system administrator for more information"
Messages in the log:
PM kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
PM NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed , syserr = Input/output error
PM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to <server name>, syserr = Input/output error
I've seen a reference to this article (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3258472) to fix similar problems but that seems only to apply to Mac-based servers not Windows servers.
I called AppleCare but they said they are unable to troubleshoot a problem originating on a Windows Server.
The Mac is running 10.7.4 but the problem happens on 10.7.3 as well.
I can connect to non-DFS volumes from other Windows Servers with no issue.

After some more digging around I found out that it works when using the cifs: prefix instead of the smb: prefix in Finder|Go|Connect to Server.
So instead of using the name smb://servername.company.com I use the name cifs://servername.company.com.

Download issue when Windows 7 Pro joins a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi,
I purchased 2 new Dell OptiPlex 3010 desktop computers that came with Windows 7 Professional operating system with SP1.
There were no Microsoft updates installed yet. After I added one of these Dell computers to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, I was not able to download several items.
Below are several examples:
1) I downloaded the Norton anti-virus installation file. This file is not the full installation of Norton; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Norton web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it does not download the full installation files.
It just hung at the screen saying “Downloading” and it will finally stop with an error (don’t remember the error message).
Note: If I have the full Norton installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
2) I downloaded the Adobe Reader installation file. This file is not the full installation of Adobe Reader; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Adobe web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it hung at the downloading part and then it will error out with a “Actionlist Not Found” message.
Note: If I have the full Adobe Reader installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
3) I installed Microsoft Office 2010 Standard version on this computer.
I configured Microsoft Outlook to retrieve emails from my email provider (pop and smtp settings).
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, I was able to send emails through Microsoft Outlook successfully (and very quickly), but he was unable to retrieve my emails. The progress bar for the Receiving in the "Outlook Send/Receive Progress" box
shows no progress. The Progress bar is not moving. There is a message at the bottom of Microsoft Outlook stating "Receiving message 1 of 6 (x.xx KB of x.xx MB)" and it is very slow. My new emails were not being retrieved at all.
I tried various pop and smtp servers that was available for my email provider, but all had the same effect.
4) I can access certain web sites (e.g.
www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com) while I cannot access other web sites like
www.usatoday.com, my web hosting email site.
Note: I had a Dell computer with Windows XP Professional operating system and this computer does not have any of the above issues.
The above are only a few examples that I have experienced.
If I removed this Dell OptiPlex 3010 computer from the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I still experience the same issue.
So as another test, I setup the other new Dell OptiPlex 3010 with the same Windows 7 Professional OS with SP1.
This time, I did not join the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and I was able to successfully download the full Norton installation files, download the full Adobe Reader installation files, download my emails from Microsoft Outlook 2010, etc.
But once I joined this computer to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I am not able to download these files and emails at all.
It seems like there might be some group policy or a security setting that is preventing these downloads so I disabled the group policy on the Windows Server 2008 AD and Windows 7 Profession OS, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
I disabled all of the firewall programs on this Windows 7 Professional OS, but it still did not resolve the issue.
Since the Windows Server 2008 AD did not have DHCP installed, I installed DHCP and setup a scope.
Then configured the Windows 7 Professional OS to obtain an IP address, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
If I move this Windows 7 Professional computer to another network where it did not have any Active Directory; it just had a wireless router serving DHCP then everything works on the Windows 7 Pro computer.
Any ideas what is the root cause when a Windows 7 Professional computer join a Windows Server 2008 AD?
Thanks,
wl_tech

Hi,
Could you please tell some information for the AD environment and how it connect to the internet?
Regarding 3rd party installlers didn't work as expected, please also seek help in their offical website.
For outlook not receiving emails, could you please take a look in
Event Viewer and see if there are any special errors logged there?
And when trying to access the website like
www.usatoday.com, any special errors IE showed out?
Best regards

How to join srever osx to windows server 2008

Hi
Can any one advise me on the best way to join OS X Server to Windows server 2008 DC.
My ultimate aim is to manage ipads using OS X server by pulling users from Active Directory within Server 2008.
Thanks

You need to join the OS X Server to Active Directory just like any other Mac. This is done usually using Directory Utlity but can also be done via the command line.
Once you have joined it to AD, you then in Server.app switch to showing Network Accounts. These accounts can then be used to authenticate services in Server.app

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.

Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

Hi,
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
DC:windows Server 2008 R2
Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
There have 3 suggestion in this article:
1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
Doesnt's work.
2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
UDP 192.168.20.3:137 *:*
3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
We are not using IPV6.
This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
Please help to check this issue.
Thank you very much.

Guo YingHui

Hi Guo Ying,
I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
Final Resolution is as follows:
You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

Windows server 2008 R2 is not a supported OS for a lower 2007 version. You need to install a higher version.

Joining Windows Server 2008 to Windows Small Business Server 2008

We have Windows Small Business Server 2008 and it came with a copy of Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL. (A packeged deal from Microsoft).
Long ago I installed Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL on a computer and joined it with SBS2K8.
My Windows Small Business Server 2008 crashed and I had to redo it and now I can't get the Windows Server 2008 to join it.
We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
The Windows 2008 Server uses the SBS2K8's IP address for it's DNS. The DNS for the SBS2K8 is 127.0.0.1
We are using Windows Server 2008 for SolidEdge and MS SQL has to authenticate against the SBS2K8 to run.
Should I hook both computers up to a switch for their own network to get them talking to each other?
Do I have to put the Windows 2008 Server name in the SBS2K8 for a user?
Please advise and thanks.

Hi:
Read the warning at the end of this and be sure you follow it.
Can you explain further this part: We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
I ask because SBS MUST be a domain controller or it will not work. Right click My Computer - Properties - Computer name tab and let us know if the SBS is "domain" or "workgroup".
What I expect is the SBS is a Domain, and when you reinstalled it it becomes a new domain, even if it has the same name. The Server was a member server in the old domain, so the solution to this is to change the Server 2008 with SQL from domain to
workgroup in the same place as above, then after it restarts rejoin it to the SBS domain by changing it once again to Domain.
Both the SBS and the Server 2008 should have static ip addresses and the SBS should be the DHCP server for the rest of the network, not your router/firewall.
Warning: You MUST check in control panel - users on the Server 2008 to verify you have a local administrative level account and you are positive you know the password for that account. When the server restarts after being placed into workgroup
mode the domain administrator will no longer be able to logon to the Server 2008.

Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008.

Why are Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008?
--- The Administrators already have full control so how do I fix this? ---
Example: On a Windows Server 2008 (SP1): user A (who belongs to the Administrators group) logs in and creates a directory C:\foo and creates a file readme.txt in the foo directory. User B (also a member of the Administrators group) logs in and opens C:\foo\readme.txt in notepad. User B types something and tries to save the file. User B cannot save the file…an option to save as some other file name is presented. The security permissions of C:\foo\readme.txt show that Administrators have full control.
Work around 1: Explicitly add user B to have full control over the foo directory. The problem is that all the all other Administrators still need to be added (current and future).
Work around 2: Change the Users security permission to be full control on the foo directory. (this seems dangerous!)
It is interesting to not that this same procedure is not a problem in Windows Vista. (Any insight about the difference?)
Sincerely,
Ian

so there is no way to change this without literally shutting down the UAC?
I have files that I need to modify all the time, and it is very annoying to have to save as to my desktop modify and then copy and paste the file again.
I would also rather not give myself permissions to the entire C:\ Drive even specified Folders or documents, etc......
You can change these settings without bringing down the UAC

1.    Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
2.    Expand Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.

3.    Double-click “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” on the right pane.
a.    Choose “Elevate without prompting” and click OK.
b.    Double-Click “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account”, Click Enable, Apply and then OK
c.     Double-Click “User Account Control: Run all users, including administrators, as standard users”,Click Enable, Apply and then OK
Then reboot the Server. You should now have the ability to modify any document, etc....
