As noted in the prior post, I had no problem connecting to a Windows 2000 Server shared volume with Active Directory authentication using Mac OS 10.2.8.
When I tried doing the exact same process on Mac OS 10.4.2, I got a -36 error. Basically, it doesn’t work.
So, there is some sort of conflict with how the OS connects, but it was able to connect when inside the firewall for the server.
I’m not sure what to make of it at this point.
I tried on my old standby Mac at home (an old G3 Blue and White running OS 10.2.8). I had to first connect to the MSU Virtual Private Network, but once I logged on to the VPN, I was able to Connect to Server and mount the volume I’ve been after.
Now, to see if I can do the same with OS 10.4.2.
I’m trying to mount a shared volume on the Mac OS 10.4 laptop I use at MSU. The shared volume is on a Windows server and it uses Active Directory to authenticate user names and passwords in the domain.
I have all the right information (server address, share name, user name, password), and I have successfully mounted the network drive on a Windows XP system.
On the Mac, I go to Go->Connect to Server, and I type in the smb://server.address/sharename and click the Connect button. I am then prompted for a domain, user name, and a password. I enter all the information in the appropriate boxes, and proceed to get an error: Error Code -36.
I’d write in the text of the error message, but I think I’ve tried logging in too many times so my account seems frozen.
I tried connecting through a VPN. No luck. I tried using CFIS protocol instead of SMB. No luck.
I just tried the command line smbclient and made some progress, but I’m really out of my element here.
