Windows clients unable to access File Sharing since upgrading to Mavericks Server

This summer, I have been tasked to upgrade all the Macs on campus to Mavericks.  Including upgrading to Server 3.1.2.  Previously, we had an Xserve that ran 10.6.8 Server and two Mac mini servers that ran 10.8 Servers.  We have a new Mac mini to replace the Xserve and, initially, everything was pretty smooth.  I built the server from scratch, with the intention of using the 10.6.8 server as reference, only adapting to Profile Manager, instead of using Workgroup Manager. 
The only problem I had when I started was that I couldn't get Active Directory to create home folders on my Mac Server "NetUsers" volume when adding a Home Folder path.  After playing around with it, I completely hosed the Server and decided to start over.  Now, after a clean install, I can't get any Windows users to connect to the share on the Mac Server.  It declares: "\\MacServer is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in.  For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced."  What's more (that I may not have noticed two weeks ago or it just started, I don't know), the 10.8 server that I upgraded to 10.9 also is not accessible and gives the same error.  However, I can access all these file shares from Macs using either smb or afp.
I'm suspicious that this issue is related to SMB1 vs. SMB2 that was implemented differently in Mavericks.
Please, any help on this would be a life-saver.  School starts too soon and I need this running on day one!!!

Had the same issue and spent 4 solid days tracking it down (looking in all the wrong places.)
For us, it turned out to be a problem in DHCP services configuration.
For the subnet under the WINS tab, the NetBIOS Scope had a '1' inserted into the field. Apple's tag when hovering the mouse over the field indicated a domain be insterted.
This prevented the Windows XP machines from successfully registering with SAMBA. Once the field was blanked out and saved, the (one machine) needing to be joined found the PDC and successfully bound to the directory.
Blank out the NetBIOS Scope field in DHCP (assuming a simple LAN environment) and you may be in good shape.

  • Trouble with screen sharing since upgrading to Mavericks

    I'm no longer able to connect to my Mac at home from my Mac at work unless someone is there to wake it up. It shows up in the shared listing on the left side of my Finder window so I know it sees it. I get a "Connection Failed" warning.
    I have made sure that Screen Sharing is selected and that I have selected "Wake for network access" on the Energy Saver system preferences. Computer sleep is set to "never". I have also set it to start or wake at 8am every day to ensure that it is running each day by the time I get to work. Both Macs are running Mavericks.
    I didn't have this problem with 10.8 and nothing else has changed that I know of. If someone is home and I call them and tell them to wake up my Mac it works fine, for a while. For a couple of hours I can connect to it but then it disconnects in the middle of using it and I can't connect to it again.
    And regular ol' "Connect As" no longer works either ... unless someone is at home to wake it up. I get a "probelm connecting to the server" warning

  • I cannot connect my Windows 8.1 machine to a shared drive on my Mavericks based mac.

    Running the late 2012 iMac 27 inch iMac.
    Have a shared folder that was accessible prior to upgrading to Mavericks. After upgrading my Windows 8.1 machine can not access the shared folder.
    Here are the facts.
    Able to ping the Mac from windows.
    Can see the Mac from Windows in the Network folder.
    Machines are both in the Home workgroup.
    Have already disabled and reenabled file sharing both for AFP and SMB and ensured that the user i was previously using is setup for acces to the folders.
    I have tried the usual suspects but so far no joy.

    I have the same problem.
    My iMac got upgraded to Mavericks (Mac OSX 10.9) a few days ago.
    Now, my Windows PC (running Windows 7) can no longer access the files shared out from that iMac.  I repeatedly get a request to enter the network credentials (domain/userid & password).  Even when I enter the correct ones, Explorer on the Windows PC refuses to show the shared files on the iMac.
    Of course, this was all working fine before the upgrade to Mavericks.
    Additional points:
    The Windows PC can still access files shared from my MacBook Pro (laptop), which is not upgraded to Mavericks.
    Curiousily, the iMac can access files shared from the Windows PC (running Windows 7).

  • Can't access Time Machine files since upgrading to Mavericks

    I have searched the community and found that people have experienced issues backing up to Time Machine since upgrading to Mavericks, but my problem appears slightly different from the ones I've found.  I can see that my Time Machine is actually backing up since the upgrade as it was before the upgrade.  The issue I'm having is that I can't access the backed-up files in any way. 
    When I try to open time machine it launches the "space view" with all of the historical tabs lined up for me to scroll through, but imediately closes that window and gives the error message: "Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup disc".  It's so weird, because it says that there have been backups completed since the upgrade (most recently this morning).  If it wasn't writing to the disc, it would have showed me an error of some sort.
    What I am, specifically, trying to accomplish is that I need to restore some iTunes playlists that I somehow managed to delete this past weekend.  I figured that I would easily be able to access the library file that contains the playlists from Saturday morning, when I KNOW that playlist was still there, and just restore it.  Now that I am seeing that I can't access any of my time machine files, I'm realizing that I have an even bigger problem, and that all of my files are, essentially, going without backup at this time (assuming I can't access the files that have already been backing up).
    If anyone has some insight as to how I can fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi John, (The above was for your attention) I'm 72 and must've hit the wrong button!!!
    I followed your instructions to the letter, but sadly, no success...all my backups are showing on the TM external HD, but I cannot access them after instsalling 'Mavericks'
    I spent the entire day on and off the phone with Applecare (they are very nice, and I'm sure they know most of the stuff needed; but not this problem. They are phoning back tomorrow as the senior chap was not available.
    I love my apple products, and like you, have been using their gear for well over 25 years...not studying the things, but using them all the way through.
    My present Mac,  a 24" iMac is nearly 7 years old, bought on December 11th 2007, and this is the first time I have had a significant problem, and never a virus..got bless em!. I bet there are not many Windows users around who can say the same!
    However, if I cannot access my backups, I'm a bit lost, as all my accumulated stuff is there!
    I guess the worst case scenario is that I revert to OS X 10.7.5, and wait 'til the bugs are ironed out in Mavericks....Ho Hum

  • I am unable to access my Bank website since upgrading to Mavericks (Safari 7)

    I am unable to access my Bank website since upgrading to Mavericks (Safari 7)
    I get the following error message in Safari before I even have the opportunity to
    connect to my bank's website.
    It works fine in Firefox and Chrome.
    Access Denied
    You don't have permission to access "http://www.tdbank.com/" on this server.
    Reference #18.a555ee3f.1382720248.13b74953

    I experienced the same problem where by I could not log into my Nationwide Bank account when I had upgraded Safari to the latest Version before Mavericks 6.1.0 on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I believe.
    I already had Trusteer Rapport installed as recommended by banks.
    Some Banks worked but Nationwide skipped the log in page and kept taking me to a page about Cookies telling me I needed to enable them but they were enabled. I just could not get into the Log In Page. Incidentally the Nationwides Cookies screen shot is of an out of date Cookies setting page - it is now under privacy in Safari preferences.
    I then installed Rapport again when it popped up as an option and bingo I could get to the Log In page.
    Took the plunge and upgraded last evening to Mavericks
    Same probelm occured cannot Log In to Nationwide.
    I have just stopped Trusteer Rapport and thank goodness I can get into Log On again.
    However when I logged out and tried to open another site Safari crashed with the following error message
    "safari quite unexpectedly while using trf.dylib plug-in"
    Chose Reopen and safari opened Ok
    I googled the message and that got me here - seems it is Trusteer Rapport
    So someone needs to sort this out I guess Trusteer I guess?
    Hope this is helpful
    Cheers

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe are constantly blocking access to PDF files

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe (Version 7.0 (9537.71)) are constantly blocking access to PDF files.
    I can intuit what this is all about, however, I can find no information about it... the Adobe Plugin/Safari is apparently building a "white-list" of "trusted sites," but I can not find any information about this white-list -- where it is stored, how to revoke permisions, how to "one-time" permissions, etc.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I am experiencing this exact same behavior since upgrading to Mavericks, too.

  • Cannot Access Disks on Time Capsule Since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Hey folks...
    So I've had this set up for several years, and it's worked out well. I have a time capsule with an external (self-powered) harddrive connected to it via USB. I usually access it via ethernet as the connection is more speedy than wifi, and my laptop generally remains stationary. For what it's worth, I'm using a Macbook Pro (mid-2010), with the original time capsule (500gb) as well as a connected Western Digital (1tb) external harddrive.
    Since upgrading to Mavericks, however, I have not been able to consistently access the remote disks, either by wifi or ethernet connection.  The time capsule shows up under my "shared" section of the finder window, but the drives (which are usually visible and accessible from within the time capsule) are not there. Strange enough, when I go into my Airport Utility for Time Capsule preferences, the disks are visible under the "disks" section.
    The time capsules' firmware is up to date, as well as the laptop's. I have tried reseting the time capsule as well as my computer in addition to simply unplugging/plugging it back in. I was able to access the disks on a fluke once in the last few days, but after moving the computer away from it's standard spot, the disks are once again no longer accessible.
    I had Server 2.0 but am unable to use it since upgrading the OS and haven't purchased Server 3.0. Any suggestions for solutions? Could residule configurations having to do with the Server functionality be affecting it? I'm guessing it is something to do with Mavericks.  Thanks for any help or feedback.
    Mitchel

    I don't have a guaranteed solution to your problem, just some suggestions:
    1) Try powering down the Time Capsule for at least 15 minutes, then plug it in again and see if it works better.
    2) If you suspect that heat might be a problem, try raising the Time Capsule to give better air flow below it.  I have mine on an inverted plastic-coated-wire basket of the type used to organize kitchen drawers.
    3) If AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule, you should be able to use the "archive" function (in the Disks panel, Disks tab) to write the disk's contents to a drive connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
    4) In the worst case, you should be able to access the files on the Time Capsule's disk by opening up the Time Capsule, removing the disk drive, mounting the drive in an external enclosure, and attaching the enclosure to your Mac.

    Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.

  • Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
    I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I get errors like:
    "unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
    "unable to send data to printer"
    "printer not connected"
    I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
    deleting and re-adding my printer.
    reseting my printing system
    Installing Guenprint.
    re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
    None seem to correct the problem.
    This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
    I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, a brody.
    Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
    I thought the issue may have been resolved.
    I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
    Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
    Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
    In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

  • Entourage open from dock opens a new message screen. If I open it from the application window it open to my inbox as normal. Just since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, when I open Entourage from the dock it opens the program and opens a new message window. Very annoying. If I open it from the application folder it opens to my inbox like it always has. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Dave

    the problem has been solved for me following the process :
    1 -close entourage
    2 - start and follow the complete reconstruction of the entourage database ;
    3 - in the "entourage" menu, disable "office reminds" or "office recall" (i don't know the exact name because my entourage is in french)
    For me it has worked. when i click on the dock entourage shortcut it opens without showing the new message windows at start.

    How are you connecting the camera to your Mac? Do you use software supplied by the camera manufacturer to do it, and if so, has that software been updated to work with Mavericks?

  • My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

    My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
