[Samba] Win2K3 Server, in Terminal Session, Problem connecting to SAMBA server.
I have looked for several days and can not find the answer to my problem, but I'm sure it has to be a simple issue. I'm trying to map drives inside Windows Server 2003 Terminal Session from a local Samba server but can't get connected. I figure the problem is in Windows Registry but can't find web page on what needs to be changed to get this working. I built a new Windows 2003 server. Logon to the new server through Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Connection). Once connected I open Windows Explorer and try to browse over to my SAMBA server. My problem is that I get a Windows Error box saying I "\\FOO_SAMBA is not accessible." Then goes on saying I might not have permission. The last line says "The request is not supported." Tried mapping a known share from the FOO_SAMBA server (\\FOO_SAMBA\test) and I get a different windows error message saying "The drive could not be mapped because no network was found." The domain this server is in is an is older NT4 style domain. (Not Active Directory.) The Windows 2003 Server is a member of the ADOMAIN Domain. The FOO_SAMBA server in running on Solaris 8 sparc server. I do NOT have any domain machine names configured in /etc/passwd file. Only users I want to allow to connect are in the /etc/passwd file and also part of the 'adomain' group in /etc/group file. I do not have any problem connecting to the FOO_SAMBA server from Win2K or WinXP workstations. Can even connect to shares from other Win2k Terminal Server, inside a Remote Desktop Session. I have the following entries in smb.conf file. [global] workgroup = ADOMAIN server string = Samba Server ; guest account = pcguest log file = /opt/samba/var/log.%I log level = 2 security = server password server = 149.154.1.41 encrypt passwords = yes socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384 local master = no wins server = 149.154.1.32 wins proxy = yes dns proxy = no case sensitive = auto # TAC share [tac] comment = TAC Support share path = /ark/tac public = no writable = yes write list = @adomain create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 [test] comment = rdc test path = /ark/rdc/test public = yes writable = yes printable = no write list = @adomain

[Samba] help: Can not connect to SAMBA server from Win2K3 Server, in TS
Hello, I posted this three weeks ago in hopes that someone here might help me. I still have not be able to solve this and really really would appreciate if anyone has some suggestions on things to look at. I'm sure it has to be a problem in Win2K3 Server settings, but don't know where to look or what to change. Original posting below.
