The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

OS 10.4 clients cannot access Shared Mac folder on W2k Server - URGENT

Asked by gregberry in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: mac, cannot, access

We have a network of about 25 computers, 10 or so of them are Mac OS 10.4, the rest are Win XP Pro PCs. We have a server dedicated to file sharing. We basically have one main shared folder called "FILES". This is shared for PCs and Macs. Recently after a restart of the server (for regular maintenance), the Macs could not see the shared Mac volume (FILES), PCs could access the share without a problem. After a few minutes (15 or so) the Macs could all of a sudden see the share and
everything was fine.

However, we just restarted the server again and we're having the same issue again. The difference is, this time, after waiting for a few hours, the Macs still cannot see the Mac Share. The macs connect to the server via TCP/IP, the users use their usernames and passwords and can connect to the server, however, the only volume they see is the Micrsoft UAM volume.

When we created a different folder and shared it (through MMC), the Macs could see and access that one.

We get an Event ID 12061 in the System Event Log as the user tries to connect to the share. I found a Microsoft KB article, but no solution to the problem was given. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q136300/

Here are some things I have tried to remedy the issue, please keep in mind we cannot change the name of the share (FILES) becuase of the thousands of file mappings in quark, etc.:

Again Restarted Server

Stopped Sharing the folder, then reshared it
Stopped sharing the folder
Uninstalled / Reinstalled Appletalk Protocol from network adapter
Uninstalled / Reinstalled File Services for Macintosh [Restarted]
Uninstalled / Reinstalled Appletalk Protocol from network adapter again [Restarted]
Reshared the folder

Created a new mac share called TEST (Macs could see and access)
Moved data from Files to TEST, now Macs could not see TEST
Moved data back to FILES
Created a folder called FILES2, moved data from FILES to FILES2
Stopped sharing FILES (PC and Mac), renamed FILES to FILES1
Renamed FILES2 to FILES (Macs could not see volume)

It seems as though the problem is with an individual file or two, which sort of corresponds the what Microsoft has written regarding the error.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue? Any insight or solution to this issue is greatly appreciated.
