Windows 2003 Server Connection Problems

Recently, one of our Win 2003 servers is no longer accepting logins any of our Mac's running Tiger. When attempting to log in, the connection is rejected with "error code -36" before being given the opportunity to input a name and password and authenticate to our AD. Console records the following:
mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Software caused connection abort
Its mirrored server, however, does let me enter name and password before giving me the "error code -36". Console records the following for this server:
mount_smbfs: error from NetrShareEnum call: exception = 382312522
mount_smbfs: mount error: /Volumes/marketing3: syserr = Input/output error
To complicate this, our three new Mac Pro's running Leopard connect fine, and I can connect to two other Win 2003 servers with supposedly identical configurations fine under Tiger, can connect to our Cisco VPN using the domain login, etc... I have changed my laptop to send passwords in plain text using the procedure outlined in Apple's KB TS1564 to no avail. Rebooting the Win 2003 server has not helped, either.
Timing suggests something possibly in the a recent Tiger update, but I can not pinpoint the exact time the errors started. Any ideas? Our Windows admin folks are trying, but seem perplexed by this issue, and I am the closest to a Mac admin we have.

I have only seen this issue when the domain group policy is set to only allow "signed" authentication which is the default setting in Windows 2003. An admin will have to go into the domain policy editor and change the Microsoft client setting for signing digital communications to disabled.
What is odd though is that this is usually a domain setting and would affect all the servers that are members of the domain because you are authenticating against the domain. But it is possible that each server is reporting the error differently but in the end it is the same thing.

  • Mac G5 reports a windows 2003 server has only 3.4 megs when it has 534 megs

    Hello, We use a Windows 2003 Server. We have several macs connected to that server. 1 of these macs shows the windows network share as having only 3.4 megs free. The other macs show the windows share having 500 megs free. The server share does have 500megs free.
    Why would this one mac report that there are only 3.4 megs free?
    Thank you in advance.

    We have narrowed down the problem and found the culprit.
    The issue is only repeatable on 10.4.x (we used 10.4.11 for testing, but it may affect earlier versions as well)
    10.4.11 Local folder created with trailing space in the name, then copied to the Windows 2003 server = loss of security tab on this folder
    10.4.11 existing folder on the server has a trailing space added to the folder name = loss of security tab on this folder
    10.4.11 existing folder on the server has the trailing space REMOVED from the end of the folder name = security tab returns with permissions in tact
    10.5.x Local folder created with trailing space in the name, then copied to the Windows 2003 server = no problem
    10.5.x existing folder on the server has a trailing space added to the folder name = no problem
    10.5.x existing folder (created under 10.4.11) with trailing space in the folder name has the space removed = Error code 43, unknown error occured
    Also interesting is that the illegal characters for Windows \ / * : ? " | in the folder name prevent the folder being copied to the Windows 2003 server in 10.4.11, but are allowed in 10.5.x - all expect the : which is an illegal character in OS-X as well. None of these illegal characters cause issues on the Windows 2003 server as they are simply translated to a space.
    The solution would be either as AJ mentioned to purchase Thursby AdmitMac or to upgrade all the users to 10.5.x (which I'm sure would make Apple happier!)

  • Windows 2003 server loses security tab for folders created in OS X

    We have a centralised storage system that is running on a Windows 2003 cluster. This server has folders for each department so they can store colaborative work. They can create their own folders and files within their departments folder.
    When files are created using a Mac on this service and then the folder properties are viewed under Windows XP or 2003 the security tab seems to be missing. NTFS permissions still exist on the folder as items beneath that are inherriting permissions still have those inheritted permissions applied to them, but the security tab has gone.
    This can also mean that Windows users cannot see these folders and therefore the whole idea of a collaborative storage server is lost.
    We have investigated this issue as best we can so far and tried copying folders onto the server with whitespace at the end of the folder name to see if this was the problem, it does not appear to cause the issue.
    We have also tried copying folders up to the server from a mac using invalid characters \ / * ? " | were all tried, on the server the symbol is simply substituted with a space and the folder works correctly.
    We have tried copying a folder with space at the end of its name and a file within to the server and this also works correctly.
    The only common factor seems to be that a lot of the folders with a missing security tab have a single space at the end of the folder name, however this does not seem to cause the issue.
    One way around the problem is to use the subinacl.exe tool at the command prompt as the server administrator to regain ownership of the folder and then delete it, however this is not a solution for folders that contain data. This workaround was from the microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320081 in step 6.
    If anyone has any idea what may be causing this on the Mac side it would be good to know.

  • Can't connect my Mac to my Windows 2003 server shares via SMB

    Hello all
    So my problem is I have my Powerbook running 10.4.7 with all the latest security updates and I cannot connect it to any shares on my Windows 2003 domain controller. Everything was working fine and I could connect to the server with no problem till about a month ago. However, I can still connect to the Windows 2000 domain controller with no problem. The error I get when trying to connect is "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". I did try clearing out my keychain, making sure all of the authentication policies on the server are correct (disabling the digitally sign commucations always policy), and I even went as far as editing a .conf file in /etc/ folder that allows for passwords to be sent without any encryption (I forget exactly what I changed but I can post that later when I get home from work) and none of this has worked. I unfortunately don't have another mac to test out connecting to the Windows 2003 server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to try and get this issue resolved?

    TO share out as afp you need to have file and print services for macintosh installed on the 2k3 Server.
    O n the main management console click on the shares icon on the left. then click the "link" create a share. The wizard will guide you through the process. i forget the order of progression but i beleive its the second or third part in the dialog it will have 2 check boxes, the top one checked by default, is to share it for windows/smb the second (lower box) is to share as AFP for mac check this box and change the share name if you like. then proceed through the rest of the wizard. Make sure you configure the security/sharing prefs for access.. we typically remove the everyone policy and add one for Authenitcated Users, and ofcourse Administrators.

  • TNS problems in 9i on Windows 2003 Server

    Goody day
    I have installed Oracle9i Database (and 9i Developer Suite) onto an HP ML370 Server running Windows 2003 Server. My problem is that wherever I need to use the username / password for things like sqlplus, forms, imp, etc I get SERVICE_NAME errors, TNS adaptor protocol errors, Can't resolve SERVICE_NAME and many more in that description field.
    Please help.
    Thanks
    William

    You need to look in the listener.ora for the db you want to connect to (did you create one after installing Database product?). Then you need to verify that entries in tnsnames.ora of both DB and DS homes "matches" with listener.ora.
    Other than that, it is more likely to have a chance to help out if you provide some details of actions taken and corresponding errors (exact codes and messages).

  • Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

    Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution.  I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server.  Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established.  I went to the link:
    Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
    (the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
    followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

    Hi,
    Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
    I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes.  Works fine
    with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
    cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
    Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
    database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
    Oracle ora-12154 errors.
    32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
    connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
    Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
    as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server.  The problem seems to
    relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
    So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
    rather annoyed.
    SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
    suggested patch.  I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
    we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
    So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
    MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/  gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.

  • OS X client connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB

    My OS X 10.6.7 clients are connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB share. They open files and edit them. Strange thing is that in Windows 2003 Server Open Files the files opened are listed like this:

  • Is there anyway to take a windows 7 computer that the user is completely setup and configured and connect to a windows 2003 server

    I have spent hours setting up a windows 7 computer with programs cad files and other software and I would like to log in to a windows 2003 server
    without having to start over. Is there anyway to do that without losing anything?
    Scott

    Hello, I can't believe your the only one that answered my question.
    What I have is 7 pc's that I bought in 2007 they are "HP M9077C" I am trying to
    upgrade all of them the same way. I upgraded the memory to 8gb, replaced the
    video cards to nvidia quadro k600 and installed windows 7 ultimate on all of them.
    I then took just 1 of the computers and installed all of the software and changed the
    settings to my preference which took hours to do. After I had the 1 computer
    configured exactly the way that I wanted it I made a mirror image backup of it.
    I then took that backup and restored it on the rest of the 6 computers that I have.
    Now here comes the problem I need to be able to hook up the computers to my
    windows 2003 small business server. When my IT guy did that he said that he had
    to create a different user to connect to the file server when he did that my desktop
    was empty and all of the settings are on the original user. Is there anyway to keep
    the settings from the original user and connect to the file server so I don't have to
    spend hours on each one of the computers. If there is a way to copy the original
    user's settings that would be great. I also need to change the user name on each
    computer. Please let me know.
    Thanks Scott
     

  • Space Problem in G: - after NW2004s SR1 installation on Windows 2003 server

    HI Friends,
    I have installed NW2004s SR1 on Windows 2003 server with Oracle 10g database successfully. My server has sufficient harddisk space as follows.
    C: 9.6GB
    G: 24GB
    H:64GB & I: 73GB.
    RAM is 6GB
    While installing NW2004s i have defined a paging size on C: 400MB-1600MB and
    i have set the option as System Manageble on other drives G, H& I drives. I did not get any Swap space problem while installing.
    During installation I have chosen G: drive to store MirrorlogA, MirrorlogB, Oraarch, OriglogA, OriglogB folders of Oracle for redolog archives,.Total size of all these folders is 17.4 GB
    G: drive has one more folder Program files which is of 155KB  and no other files exist in it.
    But My system says that I am running out of Space on G: drive and free space available now is only 44MB.
    My question is where has the rest 5GB of space gone? Is it consumed as a part of Paging file which i have set on this drive as System manageble??
    I have set the same option on other drives too i..e H & I. But i am not facing any space issues for these drives.
    What could be going wrong?? Please suggest me how to correct this
    Thanks

  • Installing problem on Windows 2003 Server 64 bit

    Dear All,
    I'am trying to install XE onto a Windows 2003 Server 64 bit.. The installation process ends without any errors but the database itself seems not to start.
    I tried several hints that have been mentioned here within the forum. But none of them worked. While experimenting I saw that there is not a single registry entry of Oracle within HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\Software .
    Is there a possiblity to set those needed registry entries manually? Is there a script for that purpose?
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Regards
    Matthias

    Hi,
    thank you for your reply. As 32bit programs should run under Windows 64bit I thought the XE should run under 64bit, too.
    The installation of XE itself seems to finish without any errors. But within the log files it can be read that the database has not started up due to a out of memory problem. This causes many log entries within all other logfiles as no database could be created.
    The out of memory problem might be the same as within Advice on running XE on a small virtual Linux host ("Virtuozzo") because I am using a virtual windows 2003 server with "Virtuozzo", too.
    At this time I am on discussing the issue with the provider. Maybe I will get a dedicated server with Windows Server 2003 64bit. Hopefully the XE could be installed on the 64bit Windows Server because 32bit dedicated servers are rare.
    Best regards
    Matthias

  • Problem in installing Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise

    We are having problem installing the Oracle 9i R2 Server on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. During installation, it generates error saying "The IP Address of the machine not found". When clicking the "Continue" button, it tries to install other things but few minutes later it asks to stop complete installation or installation of that feature.
    But when we installed it on Windows XP it works fine and we have no problem in configuring it. What's the problem with Windows 2003 Server?
    If we drop the idea of installing it on Windows 2003 Server, can we make Windows XP maching as a Server?

    ORACLE asumes that the first network device you have on your server has a fixed IP address.
    Is this the case?
    If not so you should install a loopback adapter as network device with a fixed IP.
    Does this help?
    Regards,
    Lutz
