Guest CL Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I have several apple macs (10.4 & 10.5) connecting to files shares on our 2003 R2 server (which is a domain controller). They can connect fine using AFP (but files get truncated) and if I try to connect them via SMB you get several different errors relating to permission access or can not mount the volume but connecting via AFP is fine our via a PC. Now.......yesterday I setup a test share on the 2003 R2 domain member server, SMB connections worked perfectly. The share and folder permission were exactly the same as the original file server? I have tried also creating a new GPO and binded the macs to the domain and set the GPO to KB555652 which changes the digital signing of communications. I would prefer to keep the file shares on the main file server. Any ideas?

You might check out http://simultaneouspancakes.com/Lessons/archives/2004/12/how_to_disable.shtml . It's written for SBS, but should still apply.

Guest CL Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Re: Apple Macs connecting to SMB file shares Sorry one thing I should add is I've binded the macs to the domain and created a new OU with the GPO settings as listed in the article you supplied (although I had read a previous problem were you posted the same link) I then added the macs to that OU then run gpudate /force and rebooted the macs. Still the same problem?

Guest lforbes Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 RE: Apple Macs connecting to SMB file shares Hi, I am not sure if you have done this but have you gone into the Sharing Tab on Windows 2003 server with Services for Mac installed and enabled write access for MacIntosh Clients? It has been about 3 years since I have done this but there was one checkbox that kept messing up my Mac clients. Once I checked it they were able to connect fine. Also make sure the MacIntosh computer names have no spaces in them. I know my Mac users like to name their computers "Joe's computer" which is not recognized properly by either DNS or Windows.
