RE: VISTA issues with Netserver

You should use gpedit.msc, not the group policy managment console.

Every machines has a local set of group policies, which you might want
to edit, or at least look at to find a possible culprit. Most of windows
intrinsic details can be changed using group policies - this also holds
true for non-domain machines.

Lukas,

Thank you for the response. I am not running a domain
on this network, and I am not joining a domain with
this vista computer. It is just a simple 10 node
workgroup behind our 9406-270.

If I try to run the Group Policy Managemnt I receive
the "To manage Group Policy, you must log on to the
computer using a domain user account"

Is it possible that not joining a domain will prevent
this from working properly with Vista?

Thanks again,
Chad

Hi Chad,

Your problem is called "SMB signing". Windows Vista
required this by
default, when joined into a Domain. If not, you have
different problem,
our the computers you got shipped differ from
microsofts default. 

I'm using Vista Business on my Laptop as i type
this, and i'm able to
access shares on our 9406-270, running V5R4 at 

C7002540

HIPER 34
TCP/IP 4

Im not able to browse shares though. My Laptop is
joined to a Windows
2003 Domain, with default policies applied.

I can access \\machine\PDF\
But i can't access \\machine\ (i get "Permission
denied"). 

Here's how you solve the SMB signing problem:

Type "gpmc.msc" into the search field.

Answer YES tot he UAC prompt

Now, this is translated from German, so it might not
be identical to
what yo usee.

Click on

Computer Configuration

Windows Configuration

Security Settings

Local Policies

Security Options

Look for "Sign communication digitally"

It should be in Microsoft's Network Client and
Domain Client groups.

Change them, then run gpupdate.

Chris,

Thank you for the response. The password level was
indeed at 0. I changed it to 2 then restarted
netserver. 2000 pro and XP pro are still connecting
without issue, however Vista is still experiencing
the
same problems.

I believe you need to set your password level to
either 1 or 2 which
disables support for Win98.  But this is a guess.

Hello,

I posted this on PCTECH the other day but have not
received any
response. I noticed some decent vista discussions

on

this list so
figured I would post here.

I was wondering/hoping if any of you that have
played with Vista so far
have had any problems or specific workarounds in
order to get Vista to
map to any of your netserver shares? I know of the
issues with
operations console and other Client Access issues,
but I have not seen
anything that made me think that mapping to a

share

would be such an
issue. Did I miss something extremely obvious? I
guess it wouldn't be
the first time.

We have multiple shares on our internal iSeries

that

I can not get 3
brand new Dell boxes running Vista Buisness to
connect to. I have looked
and search through countless forums and articles

and

can not come up
with a solution. 

The shared drive is on an v5r1 box. The vista

boxes

all have Client
Access v5r4 with the latest apar installed on

them.

This server is also
our DNS, DHCP, and lotus server for this internal
network. The vista
machines all quickly picked up IP's from the DHCP
right out of the box
and were on the internet with no issues. the
server's name is "MMI" and
I can ping, ftp, connect to mail, and connect
through our Client Access
emulator using "MMI" as an address with no issues,
so I know the dns is
working fine. We run a Lotus Domino server on the
machine as well and
from a Lotus Notes client on the Vista machines I
have no problem
opening the Lotus file system and exploring

through

and opening the
Lotus databses on the server. 

I am administrator on the vista machines. I have

UAC

turned off, I have
it set to automatically elevate and I have the
personal and domain
firewall completely turned off. There is no other
firewall or security
software on the machine, as I un-installed norton
right after I took the
machines out of the box. 

I have completely disabled IPv6 on the vista box.

I

also downloaded the
most recent drivers for the Intel LAN adapter that
the vista machines
are using. No luck there. 

I have tried multiple security setting changes

that

I read about,
including changing the "Network Security:
Lan Manager" setting as I read about issues with
certain samba drives.
None of this has helped. 

The vista boxes will pick up "MMI" in the network
explorer. However if I
try to explore the share I get "Windows cannot
access "\\MMI" error and
if I diagnos it tells me that no problem with
network was found. 

When I attemp to map the share I get "The mapped
network drive could not
be created because the following error has

occured:

An unxpected error
has occured". If I then diagnose the problem I get
"No problem was found
with the network" 

I then try to sign-on the share using a different
user name thinking it
may be a username or password problem. If I use an
incorrect username or
password as soon as I click "finish" to map the
drive it will pop and
and say "Logon Unsuccesfull: Please make sure your
