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.

    • Hello, The thing about Thunderbolt 2/3/4 PCIe cards is that in additional to the signals carried over the PCIe slot they are plugged into they need to send additional signals to the motherboard for which there is no standardized connection set of connections on the PCIe bus.  To get around this limitation, motherboard manufacturers can include a separate Thunderbolt header. which is sometimes labeled as JTBT1 or TBT1 on the motherboard.  The Thunderbolt PCIe card has a corresponding header on it, and comes with a proprietary cable to connect between the card and motherboard. While the additional signals that need to be sent over the Thunderbolt header are somewhat standardized, motherboard manufacturers are also free to implement whatever custom vendor-specific additions like like, like allowing a the system to recognize an on/off button on a Thunderbolt dock they alone offer to power up the system, or recognize what an external peripheral has been plugged in or unplugged from the Thunderbolt port.  Features like this, plus the lack of requirements for standardized features, or even a standard physical layout for the Thunderbolt header, mean that manufacturers can implement what are Thunderbolt PCIe cards that are essentially proprietary in that all features only work with their motherboard and even then only when their custom cable is used between their motherboard and their Thunderbolt PCIe card.  There may be additional cables required in order to route a video card's signals through the Thunderbolt port as well. Because of this, you need to go with the motherboard manufacturer's Thunderbolt PCIe card, unless you want to get a different brand, build a custom cable to connect it to your motherboard, and potentially give up features like hot-plugging devices to it. I believe @Nik Louch identified a card which will work with your motherboard.  You can always double-check with the motherboard manufacturer just to be sure, or find out if there are any issues or limitations to the combination of your motherboard and the card. If you purchase a used Thunderbolt PCIe card, make sure to check with the seller if it comes with all of the cabling necessary to use it, otherwise you may end up having to purchase that separately as well.

    • ChromeOS M137 goes stable, bringing new Face Control policy and more by David Uzondu Google has brought ChromeOS M137 to the stable channel, and it includes a few focused updates for users and IT admins. A key change is a new policy for managing big groups of Chromebooks. The face control accessibility tool, which Google also updated back in ChromeOS M135, now gets a vital control for managers. A new policy called FaceGazeEnabled lets them switch the feature on or off across a whole school or company. The update also brings a new audio feature called crosstalk cancellation. It aims to create a better sound experience using just the Chromebook's built-in speakers. The software processes audio to make it seem like it is surrounding your head, not just coming from two small points. This tries to copy the feel of a surround sound system or good headphones. Any audio gets a boost, but you will notice it most when watching movies or playing games with directional sound. More accessibility tools have arrived, too. ChromeVox now has a direct keyboard shortcut, Search + O + C, that displays spoken text as braille captions on a connected display. For the poor souls in IT, troubleshooting got a little less painful as well. A new event-based log collection system, when enabled by an admin, will automatically upload relevant logs when something specific fails, like an OS crash or a botched update. Instead of digging through mountains of data, administrators get targeted reports sent straight to them. Here's how to enable it: Turn on the Device system log upload setting. Turn on OS update status reporting—For the Report device OS information setting, select OS update status. Turn on device telemetry reporting on crash information—For the Report device telemetry setting, select Crash information. Google also keeps things sane by limiting these targeted uploads to just twice a day per device. As usual, the update is rolling out slowly. If you do not see ChromeOS M137 for your machine yet, just be patient. This phased release lets Google find and address any issues before the update gets to everyone.
    • LG gram Book 15U50T: Is this lightweight laptop the right upgrade for you? by Paul Hill If you’re in the UK looking for a new mid-range laptop that won’t feel underpowered, check out the LG gram Book 15U50T now because it’s at its all-time lowest price on Amazon UK thanks to a 14% discount from its £699.99 RRP. You can get it now for just £599.99 (Buying link at the end). At this price, the laptop definitely makes this mid-range option much more appealing, it’s also pretty new having only come out in January 2025, so you’re definitely getting more value for your money. The delivery is free and will take a few days to arrive unless you take advantage of a Prime member trial and get it next-day in time for Father’s Day. LG gram Book 15U50T: Key features and who it's for The LG gram Book 15U50T features a 15.6-inch Full-HD (1920x1080) anti-glare IPS display, making it ideal for use in well-lit areas as you won’t see yourself staring back. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 processor (1334U), 16GB of RAM, and has a very fast 512GB NVMe Gen4 SSD. In my opinion, the storage might be a bit tight for some users; however, the device comes with two M.2 slots if you want to upgrade the storage. The LG gram Book 15U50T is ideal for students or professionals who need a device to carry with them out and about. It has an ultra-lightweight design and weighs just 1.65kg - that’s not too far off a similarly sized MacBook Air, but for a fraction of the cost. In terms of ports, there is an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack if you need to plug in headphones. Other noteworthy details about this laptop include that it's running Windows 11 Home with Copilot integration, it has a HD webcam with a privacy shutter, it uses Dolby Atmos audio for immersive sound, and it has a unique feature called gram Link for multi-device (including Android and iOS) connectivity. Should you buy it? If you are a student or a professional that won’t be doing heavy gaming, or using other super intensive applications, this laptop is a solid pick. It’s lightweight - so easy to carry around, it has an anti-reflective screen - so good in well-lit environments; and it features upgradeable storage slots if 512GB is not enough space. On the downside, this laptop has a mid-range processor that could limit your ability to use high-end professional tools. Another thing I’m not really a fan of here is how opaque LG has been with the battery life. As a portable laptop, you’re obviously going to want to take it on the go where you don’t have a charger handy, but all LG says about the battery is that it has a capacity of 51Wh. According to some online sources, variants of this laptop manage about 7 to 10 hours, so if you need a super long battery life, you might be better off with something like a MacBook Air. So should you buy it? If you’re not going to be doing anything super intensive, but can’t stand underpowered and slow budget laptops then this could be the ideal laptop for you. The £100 discount makes it even more appealing! LG gram Book 15U50T: £599.99 (Amazon UK) / RRP £699.99 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Totally different vehicles. Uber has partnered with Waymo for level 5 autonomous vehicles. Waymo has completed 10 million trips and to date, there have been 696 accidents in 4 years and of those 16 of them appear to have been due to an error by the car. In total airbags have only been deployed 38 times. The technology should always be under review and continued to be improved on, but this is a totally different animal to Tesla FSD PS. no I don't work for them etc. I am an analyst for a market intelligence firm and we have a lot of interest from clients looking at the connected car space for advertising etc. so I have studied them
    • Just seems ridiculous that my 2019 imac is no longer getting the latest macOS. Nowadays a 6 year old PC is still a fairly powerful computer. It could easily run the new OS. I also have a 2015 macbook pro with a 4th gen Intel cpu. Its running sequoia (via OCLP) and can still cope not too bad. My imac is way more powerful. Really puts me off ever buying a mac again, with such short support. Open Core legacy again for me then.
