You cannot access a DFS share through a mapped network

Im running a W2K8 R2 terminal server that acesses a DFS share on a W2K3 Standard server. All of a sudden when users log in the share is disconected. I cannot use the
\\example.com\dfs\share to connect but, I can use the IP address
\\1.1.1.1\share to connect. I have tried to install KB983620 and KB2194664 but when I click on the .msu it says the update is not applicable to your computer. I've aslo changed the Network Provider Order in the registry
to start with RDPNP and LanmanWorkstation.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you tried the command: dfsutil /pktflush (suggested in KB983620)?

Cannot access local DFS shares while VPN is active

Hi
We use Windows Server 2008 Standard as a domain controller. It also hosts DFS. Although the namespaces are hosted on the server, the data is stored on a Windows 2008 Storage Server. We do not use DFS replication.
I have several DFS shares mapped on my Windows 7 client, which has just replaced my XP client, and can access them without any problems.
However, as soon as I connect to a remote network (located on a different domain - it has nothing to do with our network at all), I am unable to access our DFS shares. If I try to access a DFS share an error message pops up stating:
Location is not available
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
The first time I connected the VPN a network dialog popped up asking what type of network it was and I chose Work. After connecting via the VPN I use remote desktop to carry out daily maintenance on a server on the remote network.
Other local resources are available. I can ping machines via IP, name and FQDN. I can access the same DFS shares using UNC paths. So, although I receive the error message described above when accessing AD-name.local-backslash-share-name1 I have no trouble
accessing server-name-backslash-share-name1
As soon as I close the VPN connection normal functionality is restored and I can again access the DFS shares without any problems.
Can someone help me fix this, please? When this was setup on my XP machine I never experienced this problem.
Also, is there a way of typing LAN addresses without the forum software converting them to a customised hyperlink? Thanks!

Thank you, fupin
Sabrina's suggestion to edit the pbk file worked. I changed the setting from 1 to 0 and connected to the remote network via the VPN and am still able to access the local DFS shares.
As per the OPs comments, the username and password I am using for the remote network are both different from the credentials I am using on the local network.
... take the steps in the KB 822707 to resolve it:
1). Locate the .pbk file that contains the entry that you dial. To do so, click Start, click Search, type *.pbk in the All or part of the file name box, and then
click Search.
2). Open the file in Notepad.
3). Locate the following entry: UseRasCredentials=1
4). Modify the entry to the following: UseRasCredentials=0
5). On the File menu, click Save, and the click Exit.
Cheers!

Cant access a DFS share from a Windows 7 computer

I am having DFS share access issues with a Windows 7 workstation.
My setup is I have 6 windows 7 stations accessing this DFS Share.
All computers have the same Administrator password and another User/Password
All but 1 are working as they should.
The DFS share is running under Server 2008 R2 and contains files from this and another server.
From the workstation, I can see the server under Network.
I can open it and see the individually shared volumes and I have full read/write permissions.
I can see the DFS share and I can map it.
If I try to open the shared volumes within the DFS file I get a message saying I dont have permission.
Interestingly, when I look at the properties of the DFS share form the workstation, I dont see a DFS tab.
If I do this from a workstation is is able to connect fully to the share, I see a DFS tab in the properties.
I tried to include everything,
Thanks in advance

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

Hi Benjamin,
Thnx for your reply.
I have checked the source system for the external system. Actually it is a BW Qual system and the client copy from BW Prod has been done. So when they have done the client copy, the SS in the SS tab is that of R/3 Prod and not the R/3 Qual. But when I mentioned that this might be the reason, the client says even though it's showing as R/3 prod, in SM59 the SS is R/3 qual only.
But I am not sure whether this is correct or not and how to go about solving this???
And is it like even though we do Client copy and then replicate it, it will take from the SS that is in SM59 or the thing which is available in SS tab in RSA1???
InfoObjects seem to be fine.
Master data has been loaded.
Check definition of the RemoteCube - What do I exactly check in the definition, any specific thing???
If not there could be an issue with the BAPI - How to check whether there is any issue with BAPI???

OK. So this is an ongoing problem and has been for over 1 month. The only way I could submit a payment is using paypal. I tried a mastercard and Visa - neither worked. Use paypal or transfer a bank payment - that is your best chance of updating it. Apparently their technicians are working very hard to fix this but it's still not working. Changing web browsers, computers etc don't work. Good luck. It's taken me 3 weeks to finally give up and use paypal.

Skype payment error. "You cannot access this page....

Hi,
I'm trying to purchase $10 worth of Skypre credit. I entered my card information and clicked next and this error massage appeared.
You cannot access this page.
This may be due to one of two reasons:
1. The FI you are trying to access is deactivated
2. The access to the FI is restricted for specific IP addresses, and your address is not one of them.
Does anyone have a solution?

Is there a way to back your phone up to iCloud if you cannot access your device? My screen is completely shot and will not me let unlock my phone to access anything!

If you think your phone is working even though the screen is broken, you might try backing it up to iTunes on your computer.
If you can't do this you could take it to an Apple store and see if they can back it up for you.

I get problem loading page (error 404) it says the page cannot be found when i try to access the game Mobsters through my mysapce account and i cannot access it no longer through firefox and i want to find out why i cant, can you guys please help?

i cant access my mobsters account through myspace. every time i try to access it i get "problem loading page" "this page cannot be found" "404 error" and it wont let me access it. myspace works fine but as soon as i click on the mobsters app i get the 404 error, this page cannot be found, problem loading page! can you please help?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i try to access mobsters game through myspace

I dont understand the answer
'''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''

DFS and Windows 7 x64 strange behavior when trying to access a DFS link through mapped drive

I've manually mapped a network drive (Q Drive) to a DFS location. Whenever I go into "My Computer" and open the Q Drive it shows the DFS links but when I double click one of the links it randomly takes me back to the "My Computer" starting point showing my standard drive letters. If I click through the Q drive and the DFS several time it all of the sudden works. Sometimes this circle of clicking can go on for 5-10 times before it works properly.
I'm running the x64 edition of Windows 7. Any suggestions on how to make this work properly? Its very annoying.

GPO mapped namespace where you can't connect through the mapped drive letter but can connect through the DFS UNC namespace? Do you use access based enumeration?
I personally think it has something to do with network bandwidth, the security token and offline files. =)
You can access the namespace itself but not any of the linked shares (try checking the ACL:s on the shares and you get permission denied, but you still see them, ie they are listed).
I found a post sometime ago about corrupted/trunkated security tokens. If the member was part of too many AD groups the token was trunkated and corrupted. That was going to be my next move. Sniff the traffic and see what actually happens when the issue occur
if theres something to be learnt there. Since it works correctly through the UNC adress but not through the drive letter you ough to be able to see what is different between the two requests.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/05/14/troubleshooting-kerberos-authentication-problems-name-resolution-issues.aspx
One thing I noted was that it only happened to remotely connected computers on slow 3G connections (we use Direct Access). Never on LAN-connected computers with GB access or remote computers with fast (>15Mbps) access. We also use folder redirection,
which I think could be part of the problem, ie the share never goes online, atleast for us the issue was itermittent, it never happend all of the time, just from time to time. And if I disconnected and reconnected it could fix the issue for that particular
sessions, usually it didn't but occasionally it did (just pulling the network cable and put it back). Check the offline/online status the folders show up as offline even though they are online.
Enough of my ramblings. Sorry to hear you still have the problem and I hope you find a way to solve it.

I cannot access my iTunes library through other mac applications like iPhoto.

Since I've updated to 10.5 I cannot access to my iTunes library through other Mac applications like for instance iPhoto.
The application says that my itunes library is idle.
Also my screen saver used to show my albums covers yet now it doesn't show anything but n error message attestng that my library doesn't contain any album cover.
Can someone give me a clue since my library contains a cover for each song and is synchronizes with iTunes match?
Thank you for ANY help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD
