Macs (prior to 10.58 "Leopard") and some earlier versions of Windows do not support this. 2008 Servers ship with the default security setting of "Send NTLMv2 response only" (2008 R2 comes with this setting "not defined" before and after promotion to a DC).
With Windows Server 2008 new security lock downs have produced new connectivity/authenticatio n issues with Mac and some Windows machines.
In this case you may have "simple file sharing" enabled preventing enabling of Full Control for Everyone within the share permissions (not the security permissions).
Similarly, if you're not seeing all of your file shares when browsing a share on a Windows XP computer you may not be able to see all the files and folders (particularly within the Documents and Settings folder). See the "Adding the SMB Port to Connection String" for 10.5 and 10.6 below. There's a simple workaround but can cause problems to those of you who browse to your servers or shares using the network browser in the Finder.
This has something to do with the port usage in Samba on the Mac OS X side and may or may not be resolved by upcoming patches in 10.5 and 10.6. Alternately, you may have very slow logins. This also causes 10.6 machines to not be able to copy larger files to the server. Mac OS 10.5 may actually authenticate and list files but have read-only access to the server.Īnother known issue that occurs after authentication is is not being able to see all of your folders, or none of your folders, when connected to a Windows share. The symptoms are different in 10.5 and 10.6 where 10.6 can actually copy small files to the server using the Finder but when trying to copy larger files the Finder acts like the copy finishes then leaves a 0kb file on the server.
This disconnect is attributed to SMB signing.Īlternately, in Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6 you may have issues saving files to the server after you've authenticated (some of these issues may have been or will be resolved by Apple OS Software Updates). All the hassle is actually an easy fix on both 20. After entering your credentials you’ll receive an error saying something along the lines of “server could not be found,” when clearly it’s there because it asked you to authenticate. When this is the case a Mac running Tiger (10.4.x) or below will not be able to authenticate to a Windows server.
Whereas, your 10.4 clients can connect without an issue.ĭomain controllers by default are enabled to “Digitally Sign Communications” always for network clients and servers (prior to a server being promoted to a DC this setting will be disabled. And my problem was resolved now by making a new user.Your file server is part of a Windows 2008 Cluster and your 10.5 and 10.6 machines are unable to connect to shares. All the apps were there I had to do nothing but just move the files. So I came to a workaround that I created a new Administrator User and copied all the files from my previous administrator to the new one and deleted that previous administrator user. I did everything I can to fix these problems but I am unable to find the solution. Yet another problem is while uploading the file on to any cloud storage, the problem is with the Finder application as it gets invoked while performing any of these tasks. Whenever I drag any file or photo from my desktop to chrome or any other application, the file actually not drags itself and the busy cursor is shown to me as if it is very heavy task for the processor to do.Īnother problem occurs when saving the picture or image from the internet, while saving any picture it asks for the location as where to save the image, that window does not appear after I upgraded my Mac from El Capitan to Mac OS Sierra. The first problem on Mac OS is Sierra Finder not responding.įinder Application is freezing out so frequently that I couldn’t work on my MacBook.
