Windows Server Mac networking issues

Hi all,
I recently moved to a new office where internet access is provided via a Windows Server network.
I use a Macbook and am having the following issues whilst using the internet:
- When I attempt to FTP a file, the first time I do it it always hangs. If I immediately try to upload the same file it works fine.
- The first time I send an email it bounces back, the second time it works just fine.
- If I try to post a comment on a website (or add new content on our site via a custom CMS) the first time I do it it doesn't work, the second time it's fine!!
These issues are driving me crazy, does anybody have any idea as to what the cause maybe? Does anybody know how I can find out more about the specific network set up via the terminal or cmd prompt on the pc next to me? I've tried asking people in the office but the tech support is non existent
Cheers,
Woody

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your help with this... I've tried connecting via ethernet and via two wireless access points that are all connected to the same network but the issues still persist. Would this suggest that the problem is something to do with the actual server software configuration itself?
Ooh, yes. That's a server problem. You're not going to have the same connectivity issue with different wired and wireless connections, and we've already established that DHCP and DNS are good. (It could still be an intermittent DHCP or DNS issue. Does anyone else have problems?)
A temporary solution for me at the mo is to join someone elses open wireless network in my area but it has really bad reception
What is your prognosis?!
I went looking on Microsoft TechNet (a great resource for problems with MS software) and got this: <http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/ecc10b32-898a-435f-9d5c -01c25fb4d1f61033.mspx?mfr=true>. Do you have a domain or a workgroup configuration? If a domain, is your Mac set up in their AD Users & Computers settings? Also, is RADIUS configured properly? And what are the GPOs on their system?
Also, what kind of Windows server is in use? WinNT Server, W2K Server, and W2K3 Server are all different beasts... and there are different flavors of each, especially W2K3 server.

Woody

Windows Server - Mac Client Permission Issues?

To start off, I'll summarize our current set-up. We've got
Contribute Publishing Server running on Windows Server 2003. We
have numerous Contribute clients spread out over our campus.
They've all been using Windows XP. They connect via the LDAP
settings in Active Directory. We're using Local/Network as our
connection method. We have been encountering no difficulties using
the software in this manner... at least until we tried installing
the software on a Mac.
We've currently tried two different Macs. The one in my
office is OS X 10.4.9. I have successfully installed Contribute on
it. The way we've been making people connect to our server is via
Connection Keys. We learned that we could not use our old
Connection Key, since it was created on a Windows platform. So,
instead, I begin the process of setting up a manual connection.
I enter our URL (we've actually been using an
http://SERVERNAME address with
Contribute) and tell it to connect to a Website. I enter
Local/Network. I specify the mounted drive which appears as WWWROOT
in the text box. I click Continue. Now it has me log in after
telling me that the server is managed by CPS. It synchronizes some
templates, which look kind of odd as it does so. In the file name
listings as it works I see some ASP code. Not sure why, but it
finishes and I see that our website has a connection established.
I click the website name. It takes me to the home page. A bar
appears at the top of the page. "You don't have permission to edit
this page." Wait... what? I have full permission to edit everything
when I log in elsewhere. In fact, on this Mac, every single page
says this. I refresh the page and now it says "Contribute has
disabled your connection to this website because an unknown error
occurred." Hmm. I click the New button at the top... and I don't
have access to any of the website's templates. In fact, I can't
create anything. I hit the Connect button and it tells me "Access
Denied. The file may not exist or there could be a permission
problem."
I'm at a loss for words. How/why could this be happening?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried creating the connection by manually inputting
all appropriate info? We gave up on the keys awhile ago.

Windows Server 2008 R2 issues on OVS 3

I've been trying to get Windows Server 2008 R2 to work on OVS3 and been having issues.
First I tried to copy a working VM from OVS2 and it seemed to work, but it would crash whenever intensive I/O happened. I installed the OVS3 PVM drivers, hoping that would fix it, but it didn't. I moved it over to another server, thinking maybe it was a hardware issue. No luck there.
I also tried a fresh install. It boots up and when it starts to unpack the install files the VM reboots. I tried this with an NFS repository and on local disk with the same result.
Has anyone successfully installed Win2K8 Server on OVM3? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

Both Mem and Max Mem were set to 2048 mb, so I figured it was fine. But I changed them both to 4096 mb and now it's working. Odd.
Both the copied VM and the fresh install are working.
Thanks.

Windows Server Essentials Connector issue

I cannot get the computer connector program to complete successfully. Had to add my 6 Pcs manually through the Properties screen on the PCs. As a result, Computers are not listed on the Anywhere Access screen and no-one can remote into their PC.
I have both, a self-signed certificate for the servername.domainname.local and a purchased certificate for the public domain on the server.
here is the computerconnector log and the clientdeployment log:

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String

Hoping someone can help. As stated above, we are running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. When I create a Data Source as follows in Reporting Services, I receive the following error message. Any thoughts on why this fails? The same data
source works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2.

Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Acrobat 8 Professional and Windows Server 2003 R2 Issue

Hi
Our customers using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on Windows server 2003 R2 SP2. It works some period of time but then application stops working with this error and cannot start anymore:
Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module Checkers.api, version 8.1.0.137, fault address 0x000021a2.
What can be the problem? There is nothing in the knowledgebase.
Regards,
Jelena

Hello jordixip,
You can connect your Mac to Terminal Services using Remote Desktop Connection Client . You need a license, the client software, and turning on the appropriate bits on the server. It is in Micro$oft-ese, but the overview is here.
Good Luck!

Windows Serve 2003 Paging Issue

Hi All,
We have one windows server 2003 enterprise edition with good CPU power & 24 GB of physical memory.
Since last few days weeks. This server becomes non-responsive with large number of event id 50 & 51. We can't access this system when this happens & someone need to go & hard reboot the system.
Assumes this is something related to memory leak from some application but didn't find the exact trace for that.
Any way to narrow down this trace.
Thanks,
Sandesh

Hi sandeshgawade87,
Did you install the following Hotfix:
Some data is corrupted when cached and noncached I/O operations occur by using the same NTFS file handle
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981166
From the event ID, it also can caused by the hardware issue, please check your storage hardware related system.
The related KB:

Mac Mini Server 2010 Networking issues

I cannot get a consistent connection to my wireless router over Wi-Fi or when wired. It seems like the firewall is getting in the way because I can get a connection if I turn it off, but then once connected I can switch the firewall back on and it works. Having turned the firewall off and then back on again I can even then disconnect and reconnect the cable and it works for a while (I have made it inactive and then active again which also works) until some time later after a longer period of inactivity the whole connection issue starts again.
The network in use has been and still is a solid network for the plethora of MacBooks, XP, Windows 7, Linux machines we use so I can only assume it is some kind of setup issue. I would really like to start the Server Setup wizard again or re-install as I think something may have gone wrong right at the outset. As it doesn't have a DVD drive I am not sure yet how I could reinstall.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I solved this by scouring the firewall settings. So, to share what I found:
When using DHCP to assign an IP address for the OS X Server, without any of my own services running (eg. DHCP/DNS/Web etc) the firewall decided to not enable the DHCP and BOOTP Client ports, causing my DHCP requests to not function correctly. Checking the DHCP and BOOTP Client setting made the networking problems disappear.
Sounds obvious once it is discovered!!

Accessing a Windows Server: Mac leaves ghost files...

I am working off a windows network to access my files, etc. MAC leaves tons of "ghost" files (trashes, ghost files of files i've moved or saved) and it's peeving my co-workers off. I am the ONLY one who works on a mac, so the more i work, the more "extra" files my co-workers see on the windows directories.
Is there ANY way i can prevent MAC from doing this?? Or will they just have to put up with it?
Please help.. expert advice needed here..
Darrin

Hi,
If your co-workers cannot ignore the files (which are necessary for MOSX) read (AND understand before you change anything on your Mac)
this Apple Support Document
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711
A little background info:
- .DS_Store files contains infos about file presentation and file placement
- .Trash are Network trash folders that can be safely ignored
- Most dangerous is editing/removing/messing around with resource forks. Apple files consist of two files at disk = one containing the data fork = one containing the resource fork.
Depending on the age and file saving structure of the applications you are using (newer apps do no longer rely on resource forks, PDFs are without resource forks, Xpress files are WITH resource forks) you may no longer be able to open a file once data and resource fork are split.
So the advice is: Teach others that they should NEVER mess with i.e. "._finishedlogo.psd" if there is a file named "finishedlogo.psd". The Windows people have to open the finishedlogo.psd file and leave the other one where it is. If you move or delete the file, then the ._ part will be moved or deleted to. (And just in case you are wondering: the ._ part is the resource fork).
I suggest hosting the files on a Mac or using a decent file serving software on the Windows side...
Cheers,
Walter

Windows Server 2012 Login Issue "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."

Whenever I try to login to our Exchange Server, I receive the following error:
"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."
The issue affects more than one user.
Relevant Info:
Server Version: 2012 Datacenter
Exchange Version: 2013
The Exchange server is virtualized.
What I've tried:
1) Remote Desktop from a workstation on the network
2) Remote Desktop from Virtual Machine Manager
3) Connect via console from Virtual Machine Manager
4) Accessing the server via Computer Management and adding my user account to Allow Login via Remote Desktop
5) Creating a new user account for myself by copying the account of a user who can get in
6) Rebooting
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Aaron,
I would suggest you to check the event log .
Maybe this issue due to the permission of profile folder , please refer to the following link :

Current Setup:
10 PCs are all in a workgroup , connected via a Netgear Ethernet HUB, with static IPs. Where two of the PCs connected to 2 separate USB printers. and all the PC in the workgroup can print using those 2 printers.
The Mac is NOT connected to the workgroup, it’s only connected to the Internet using the wireless router (Netgear).
What I am trying to do:
I am trying join this workgroup wirelessly, so that I can share files and print through the workgroup.
So if I could get some help on how to set up this network so that my Mac and the PCs can work smoothly, without any hitch.
I have asked for help form my network tech guy, but he dosen’t have any idea on how to configure the workgroup so that its Mac friendly or configure the Mac to that it plays nice with the PCs

System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> WINS
Fill in your workgroup informaiton.
Your default NetBIOS name is the name you specified in System Preferences -> Sharing. You can change/set your NetBIOS name along with setting your workgroup info, or you can change it in the sharing preferences.
I am ASSUMING that the Netgear WGR614v9 IS the router being used by the PCs and the Mac. That is to say, you have just 1 subnet and everyone is on the same subnet. I'm guessing that the Netgear using a subnet along the lines of 192.168.1.* (or 192.168.2.*, or something similar). Just make sure your Mac is in the same subnet.
If you actually have a different router being used for the PCs then you need to tell the one that is NOT connected to the internet that it is a Bridge device. Some home routers have a bridge option, and others you have to turn off DHCP and NAT services to turn it into a Bridge.
Also if you want your Mac to offer CIFS/SMB services you need to enable this in System Preferences -> Sharing -> File Sharing -> Options.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Issues

3 major questions, by the way may I say thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to help out.
Cant get server to recognize additional hard drives
It came factory and I didn't have it setup as a raid or anything they sent me the server with 1 500GB hard drive, however, it has 4 additional slots for hard drives and the sata cables + power for the drives.
Why would'nt I be able to just format the drives pop them in and once the server boots up it recognize them as another drive so I can share those drives out across the network and make them a network share drive?
   2. Cant get DHCP to work.
I setup active directory, DHCP, created a new scope range of 12.0.0.3-12.0.0.25with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. It asked for default gateway of the router which I have disabled DHCP on the router but its 192.168.1.1. I activated this scope.
   3. Does a server have to have 2 network cards in order to hand out DHCP?
I appreciate any responses I am kinda stuck right now and really need to get this finished throughout this week to come.

Thank you very much, ok so here is where im at with the network stuff, havent been able to get the hard drives to work yet, however, you have helped so much so far.
Ok Dave and Peter, its all kinda starting to make sense now to me I believe. So This the setup I have, currently the server is 12.0.0.2 on subnetmask 255.255.255.0 the router is DHCP disabled and has the same subnet mask as recommended above, which finally
made all my PC's running off the NIC's start to work now. I tried changing my router over to an access point and still no internet also my server doesnt have internet, but its handing out DHCP to PC's and they do.... im kinda lost. So looking below at peters
comment and im about to try changing the server scope to be 192.168.1.100-255 to see if that fixes the issue instead of the current 12.0.0.3-25 range. Just wanted to map this out all the way so you guys follow what im doing. I was so excited when i realised
that your recommendation earlier about the subnet mask was what I did wrong, now I have internet on PC's but no internet on wifi or on the server itself.
Ohh wow it wont let me post the picture I have drawn out ok. So
MODEM ------> SWITCH ------> Server (Has no internet Access, but is successfully handing out DHCP)        I made a cross over cable from switch to router (tried this already) and a regular straight through
PC1(Hard wired to the switch, *Has internet access and automatically pulls DHCP from the server)
Laptop (Has no internet access connecting to the router via wifi)
Router has DHCP disabled but I tried to turn it into an access point settings and still no internet on laptop
Server its self is handing out DHCP to hard wired PC's and they have internet, however the server itself has no internet access.
We are making progress here i am just probably missing some small details.

Windows on mac hanging issue

My windows parallel in my Mac Pro notebook is hanging please advice how to reboot it or restart it

If the Windows DVD is stuck, you probably haven't gotten to the part where you insert OS X DVD and install Apple SETUP.exe that installs drivers, services, Boot Camp control panel startup disk. That will be Boot Camp 3.x and is actually newer than 3.1.
Apple's graphic driver may be iffy - or maybe it is fixed.
I hope you know your way around, to uninstall or rollback device drivers and such.
But first, I would let Windows do all the updates first, and source for add'l drivers you probably still need as well.
And make sure you have room for updates, restore points, installing programs and such.

Windows Server 2012R2 network start working very slow?

The is no problem with excel. Network is slow. All other network applications are opening and working slow as well.
So far I have checked physically connection between server and PC through switches, routers and servers. All seems to be OK.

After a few months our network, based on Server 2012 R2, start working very slow.
When you want open for e.g. excel 2013 file from network drive its take ages and also any changing within spreadsheet making excel not responding.
Any idea how to speed up network again?

Since yesterday morning Firefox can not load Facebook. Every other browser works fine. Tried many computers, both Windows and Macs, same issue. Help!

Facebook loads fine on multiple PCs and Macs in any number of browsers but NOT with Firefox on any of them. Started Friday AM. It tries to load but takes FOREVER and never gets "up". Frustrating since FF is my browser of choice despite the fact it has recently become the slowest of all the browsers I've tried. Be nothing like THIS slow. Other sites seem to be unaffected, just Facebook.

What you describe look like a problem of infection, for me.
I have W7 and FF34 as you, and FF is faster than Chromium.
So, except a problem of corruption of the code of your Firefox (and maybe problems generated by some addons or plugins), I' rather believe that there is malware(s) on your computer.
For FB, it could be the adware pushow**.dll, like pushow35.dll, in c:\windows\system32
What security programs do you use on your computer ?
If you want, you could also try to start Firefox in "safe mode", to see if there is a difference of speed and on FB.
