Windows users can't access shared folder - only see Library folder.

I created users folders with the same name as the user's login name. (Note: this is NOT a home folder. I have Home Folders shut off). When the Windows user logs in to access their folder, they don't see their files but instead a folder that says "Library".
When I log in with that user's account on my Mac, I can see the correct contents of their folder, but there is also a folder named "99". I found this "99" folder at the root of the server hard drive but every time I delete it, OS X recreates it again.
I don't understand what's going on.

Hi,
Whether you can able to ping the server when the server share is unresponsive? 
Check for the events on the server for a clue. Try disabling the AV program for some time and check whether the problem is repeating.

Rafic

  • My windows user can not access the lion server.

    All Mac user is ok.but all of windows user link fail.

    I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

  • Windows Users can access shares but Macs Can't

    Running 10.8 on the server and here is the below problem I am having
    1. Windows users can access the file shares read/write (even though they create permissions wrong, another day to takle that since I already tried ACL)
    2. Macs running 10.8 and Mavericks
         Open the server in finder on a user machine. Can sometimes see the two share folders. Other times just get the spinning wheel.
         Now if you are so brave to click on the folder then finder will spin forever.
         It locks finder up so hard that you can't shut down the machine without holding the power button. Other programs will run just fine, it only affects finder.
    I tried connecting from the mac with smb:// to see if it is an AFP issue but it just sits on connecting forever.
    I looked through the logs and don't see anything. But my knowledge of logs is terrible.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

  • Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

    Hello,
    Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
    I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
    I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
    Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

    Can the Mac connect to the PC?
    Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
    in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
    Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
    Has the IP changed?
    Hello!
    Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
    Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
    Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

  • Windows XP users can't access SMB/CIFS shares on MAC OSX10.4.4 Xserve bug?

    The Xserves are new for us. This problem involves two of the 10.4 xerserves.
    1 serves as an Open Directory System Master(10.4.3). 2 Serves as a file share & backup (10.4.4).
    Both are production machines and cannot easily be restarted.
    There is no Windows network, Active Directory or Windows domain in our network.
    We created a SMB and AFP share on the file server which is a member of the Open Directory. (It is bound and kerberized to server 1).
    The users all have accounts in the OD system and all passwords are Open Directory. Our users can ssh into the various xserves (including the file share server 2) and authenticate against OD.
    We made the shares available via smb under Protocols --> Windows File Settings. We turned the Windows Service on in Server Admin. I'ts a standalone server and all the authentication types are checked under access.
    The MAC (powerbook) users can access the share fine. The Windows users can't. The Windows laptops can see the file share server (through search - not visable is Network Neighborhood) but when they try and connect they are presented by an authentication box that just keeps cycling over and over regardless of what the user types as user name & passwd.
    I tried to access the smb share with my powerbook(10.4.4) and have the same issue. I'm presented with an authentication box but authentication fails.
    The Windows File Service Log shows:
    auth.c:checkntlmpassword(312)
    checkntlmpassword: Authentication for user [csmith] -> [csmith] FAILED with error NTSTATUS_WRONGPASSWORD

    Closing connections
    I've googled this error and it seems that there a lot of engineers out there with the same problem but no answers. Could this be a bug with Apple's SMB process? Is there something I've missed? (I've looked at the smb.conf and have even turned off deny clear text passwords - I've even tried granting guest access) Anyone have any ideas?

    On the server itself, run the following in the Terminal:
    (from a few different sources):
    run ps -auxw | grep Password
    to see if Password service is running
    Also check the logs in /Library/Logs/PasswordService
    Try: id username
    and see if you get some info returned.
    Ex: id jimguy
    You should get some info about uid, gid, groups.
    sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
    Then try to login from a client machine.
    Be sure to re-issue
    sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
    in order to stop the (far more) verbose logging.
    Then check the logs in /Library/Logs/DirectoryService
    In Open Directory, you might want to revert to standalone (this will destory the existing OD setup) and then re-promote to OD Master. You'll lose all OD users however when doing so. If you don't have many, this may be best.
    You'll want to verify the hostname, and forward & reverse DNS lookups before re-promoting, and watch for any errors when promoting to OD master
    See, when you say "The real clue is that I'm unable to access the shares from my Powerbook G4 with my Open Directory account. I can log in to the file share as the local admin though and that's why I'm thinking there is a bug in the samba/OD relationship. " - that's the real clue indeed.
    The local admin account, the first admin account you setup on the server, is indeed local, and resides in NetInfo, not Open Directory.
    So something is afoul in your OD.

  • MacBookPro - Suddenly can't connect to Cisco WAP while Windows Users Can

    Hi,
    My partner and I, both consulants, use MBP's. At one of our client's sites, our MBP's suddenly stopped being able to connect to the wireless network there. We believe this started happening shortly after installing a regular security update last February.
    The odd thing is, we can go to another building where there is another access point, same make and model, same SSID, which we can connect to with no problem.
    Meanwhile, since we are the only Mac users, and are mere consultants, the local IT guys don't bother to check it out.
    We get the "There was an error joining the Airport network "<network name>" error message. We have double checked and know we have the right WEP keys. I don't remember off hand the strength of the WEP, but it's pretty simple and straight forward, and must be the same as the other WAP since all the Windows users can go between locations without having to reconfigure.
    I've been to the genius bar, and they haven't seen any reference to this any where in the KB or on any of the forums.
    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    -ktb

    My partner called Apple Support today after downloading a security update he hoped would address the problem (but to no avail). He managed to reach someone who knew something about the problem.
    The support staffer indicated that there was a known issue connecting with some Linksys WAPs (and since Cisco now owns Linksys, they are probably using the same chip sets in some products). Even though the staffer acknowledged that the problem was caused by a security update, and thus was a software problem (confirmed by the fact that we can connect when we boot windows in Boot Camp and are able to connect), they said there was nothing they could do - not even offer a way to downrev our airport firmware.
    This is the kind of support I expect from the Evil Empire in Redmond, not Steve and company. Feh - success breeds contempt.

  • Window users can't save my pictures i do sent by email

    Hello,
    Since i upgrade to OS X Lion Window users can't save photo's i do sent them by email. Before the upgrade it was never a problem.
    They do receive the mail. When they open it they do see the photos but not as an attatchment. So no jp(e)g attachments...just the photo in the mail.
    But whatever they do or try they just can't save the pictures i do mail them.
    I also selected "Sent Windows used attatchemnt"....and all other things..nothing helps.
    Who can help since i need to mail many pictures each day to window users.
    I would really be thankfull.

    It's a known issue with embedded images in Outlook.
    It comes up with Mail on Lion cause Apple has decided to redesign Mail more close to the mail standards for better compatibility with the majority of mail applications.
    Unfortunately Windows Outlook handle mail in a more proprietary way and not the way almost all other mail applications will do.
    A workaround for Windows Outlook users is described in the knowledge base article behind the following link.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917120
    A workaround for Apple users is only to put the file in a compressed folder (e.g. ZIP) prior of attaching to the mail.

  • I can't access shared drives and printers

    My home has been wired with ethernet cables, so there are ethernet jacks in every room. There is one central place where they all the ethernet cables meet to connect to a hub and a cable modem. At this central place I have a D-Link 802.11g router connected to the hub. At the other end of my home I have a Airport Extreme base station connected to an ethernet jack. I have WEP password on the base station.
    My problem is that when there is a password on the base station I can't access shared drives and printers. I can only acces them if I am connected with a wire or I connect to the secured (password) D-Link Wifi router that is connected directly to the hub.
    What do I need to do to be able to access the shared drives and printers and keep my base station secured?
    Thank you.

    Whether or not you can access devices on your cabled network via the Airport Base Station is not dependent on whether or not wireless security is configured on that base station. Instead, it requires disabling the router built into the Base Station. See the article ABS as a wireless access point

    Hi,
    This is the exact format how my tnsnames.ora file looks. sorry, I can ping it in command prompt now. In my connection pool i tried first DSN =  ab.bc.xy.zx, did not work. Then I saw oracle's default repository and changed my DSN to your suggested format starting from "DESCRPTION" to rest. Still no luck Do you think, i should put the same TNS in my local machine??

  • TS4526 Can't access shared photo stream videos on my Apple TV, ?

    I have an Apple TV that is a couple of years old and can't access shared Photo Stream videos. Is this something that only the third generation Apple TV can do? I don't have any problem using an iPad 3, iPhone 5 or 5S to access these videos so I suspect it is a limitation with the older Apple TV. My cousin has a newer Apple TV and can view these videos but I can't see them.

    Have your husband check to see if he can view those 9 photos in full view or the edit mode.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.
