Unable to access network share files from one server


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Unable to access network files (e.g. \\servername\c$) from newly build windows server 2012.

FYI, By IP address of target network server we can access the ping, RDP as well as network files, and if we do 2012 server reboot then this will work for 2-3 days or longer as a week. 

This issue occurred for just for one single server others 700 servers are working as expected.

Guys, please help me for this issue.

Then how it will works after win2012 server reboot?? 

 

One more information I would like to add, If I tried to access same network server from any windows 2008 or other 2012 servers it is working fine. but same userID this is not working in one particular windows server 2012. 

And what error do you get?  From a command line when you try and access \\servername\c$ what do you get for an error?

 

net use \\servername\c$

 

do you get access denied and asked for credentials?  Do you have any other sessions open to this machine?  You say you can access not admin shares just fine?

 

Are you sure the shares are there?  They could be recreated on reboot.. So what does net share look like when ran on the server?

 

exmaple

That points to this box you can not access other server from having a session open to the server that does not have the rights to access the admin shares to me - your saying it can access other network shares?  Check what sessions this machine has open.  For example if something mapped to this server as user X, you can then not access server as user Y.

Your OP wasn't clear, sorry.

Maybe someone is messing around with permissions or they are getting reset...

What is the exact error when you try to access the network share?

Hi Budman,

 

net use \\servername\c$  

Got below error message,

 

System error 64 has occurred.
 
The specified network name is no longer available.
 
by IP it's gave success msg...
 
But same I have tried on my 2008 server there I got, The command completed successfully message
Also i have tried from three different userID from different machines and we successfully access the \\servername\c$.

So that is a really generic error.. what do you get when you do net view \\servername ?

 

Your saying you can access all the other shares on this box, just not C$ from this location?

Same issue for \\servername, or \\Servername\c$ or servername\D$... 

My concern is only that what is the reason that am not able to access network server from one 2012 server????

 

let me clear the scenario, 

 

e.g. I have below servers in my organization. 

 

PC1 = Hostname is SCCMwin2012

PC2 = Hostname is SQLwin2008

PC3 = Hostname is webwin2008

PC4 = Hostname is SCOMwin2012

PC5 = Hostname is DCwin2008

PC6 = Hostname is DHCPwin2008

PC7 = Hostname is Serverwin2008

PC8 = Hostname is server2win2012

 

All above machine in one domain, and can be ping each other, accessing data by using \\servername\**$ (any drive) but but but.

 

from PC1(SCCMwin2012) can not access data of server PC2 (SQLwin2008). (\\servername, \\servername\C$ any share not working here.) if I do reboot SCCMwin2012 server then only able to access SQLwin2008 data from network.

 

pls let me know if in case still any concerns. 

\\servername doesn't work....hmmm, active directory?  if so what are your dns servers in ip properties (ipconfig/all)...sounds like  you are trying to resolve by name and you can't, if you can connect via IP address.

Found following events in windows server 2012 machine.... {ID 30620, Warning_Microsoft-Windows-SMBClient Microsoft-Windows-SMBClient/Operational - Connection to server \servername IP Address x.x.x.x:445 was aborted.}

 

FYI. NIC MTU is set as 1500 on source and destination machine. 

So your saying this SCCMwin2012 can not access any other server?  And if you reboot it you can only access the one SQLwin2008 box?

 

how are you checking mtu? 

 

C:\>netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

   MTU  MediaSenseState   Bytes In  Bytes Out  Interface
------  ---------------  ---------  ---------  -------------
4294967295                1          0      23269  Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1

  1500                1   21162628    1569741  vpn

 

This show 1500?

Yes, I checked MYU by using same command as you mentioned. and I sow 1500 MTU from that command output.

 

SCCMwin2012 can access all servers which are listed in my previous post, except  SQLwin2008... I can ping SQLwin2008 from SCCMwin2012 server but can not access the RDP as well as data from SQLwin2008 machine. 

"but can not access the RDP as well as data from SQLwin2008 machine. "

 

Well RDP is completely different -- do you get prompted for access and denied, or get told can not find.. What error do you get when you try and RDP to its IP address.  And your saying other machines can rdp to sqlwin2008 just fine.

Budman,

As per the weekend patching we have rebooted SQLwin2008 server, hence as I told earlier post that after reboot issue getting resolved and now we all are accessing the server resources from our WinSCCM2012 machine.

 

FYI error msg: "Specified network name is no longer available" while accessing network data.. (\\servername\c$) if we do \\10.xx.xx.xx\c$ it's accessible perfectly. 

 

I'll keep you posted once issue re-occur.

    • PSA: Some other versions of Windows are losing support on October 14 too by Usama Jawad All of us here at Neowin likely know pretty well by now that Windows 10 is reaching end of support on October 14, 2025. You can extend support through paid and "free" means, but if you don't, you won't get any more security or feature updates following the aforementioned date. We also highlighted that the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) version Windows 10 22H2 is also reaching end of support on that date. Now, Microsoft has reminded customers that yet another variant of Windows is reaching end of life on October 14, 2025 too. On the Windows Release Health dashboard, Microsoft has published a reminder that the Enterprise, Education, and IoT SKUs of Windows 11, version 22H2 will hit end of support on October 14 as well. It is important to keep in mind that the Home and Pro variants of Windows 11, version 22H2 already reached end of life on October 8, 2024, and the extra year of lease on life will end for other SKUs within a few months too. Windows 11, version 22H2 for IoT, Enterprise, and Education was released on September 20, 2022, which means that they would have received just over three years of support by the time they "die", compared to the regular two years for Home and Pro. Customers on any of these versions should consider upgrading to version 23H2 or 24H2 as soon as possible, which have end of support dates of November 10, 2026 and October 12, 2027, respectively. Staying on a supported version of Windows is crucial as that allows you to receive regular security updates on your machine. If you're an IT admin, you should immediately begin planning a migration to a supported version of the operating system, and if you're an employee or someone using these versions of Windows in some other scenario, go to Settings > System > About and check out Windows Specifications > Version.

    • Microsoft is adding some very useful features to Word, Teams, Outlook, and more by Usama Jawad Image via Microsoft Microsoft 365 is the Redmond tech firm's premier solution for Office apps and cloud storage, among other things. Microsoft offers both consumer- and enterprise-oriented subscriptions for this solution, enabling customers to take full advantage of cloud-powered capabilities, in contrast to the LTSC versions of Office. Microsoft 365 apps and services regularly receive new updates and the good thing is that Microsoft tracks them in a very transparent way on its public roadmap. The Redmond company has updated its Microsoft 365 Roadmap with a lot of items in the past week or so, and there are several interesting features there that may excite its customers. For starters, Word is getting a very useful utility that will likely help people writing detailed documents using the software. Microsoft is integrating third-party citation providers in the Reference tab, so that users can quickly add citations. This is being made available to GCC, GCC High, and Department of Defense (DoD) customers on desktop and web this month. There are several improvements on the way for Copilot Notebooks too. Users can customize the format, style, and duration of Audio Overviews in the application through natural language prompts. These Audio Overviews can then be saved on OneDrive so that they can be shared with others too. All of these capabilities are landing on the web next month. Speaking of Copilot, Microsoft is moving the navigation pane for Copilot Chat from the right side of the app to the left. Apart from retaining the existing features, this repositioning allows Microsoft to add new capabilities such as an All Conversations tab, while also streamlining the overall navigation experience. This is being implemented for all customers using Outlook and Teams on the web from next month. In the latter software, Microsoft is also introducing regional settings that gives controls over the app's language and datetime formats. This is being made available for all Teams customers on Android, iOS, desktop, and the web from next month. Meanwhile, the desktop version of Teams is exclusively gaining the ability next month to search for meetings and participants in the search bar and take actions directly from there. Available actions include viewing recaps, accessing the dedicated meetings tab, and RSVP-ing. Microsoft added 39 items to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, so you can understand that the selection of items described above is only scratching the tip of the iceberg. Check out other upcoming capabilities like Universal Print enhancements and more Copilot improvements on the dedicated webpage here.
