Domain network cannot activate file sharing and print?

Hi all

I get an error message when you try to share a folder "an error has occurred. trying to share folderxxx Incorrect function ". After research I see that file and printer sharing is not enabled.

I went to control panel | Network and sharing Center. Advanced settings - sharing on the "Discovery of the network" and "File and printer sharing" I select "turn on...» "for one or the other and save changes - but neither is saved! Ebb in advanced sharing settings both return to "Turn off"... "State. (I am local and domain admin).

Windows 7 computer is joined to a domain and the firewall settings are defined mainly through Group Policy, although local settings are allowed (merged).

I would add that I can access the admin shares (c$, d$) on the computer without problem on the network so advanced in this regard firewall settings are ok.

At a loss as to why file and printer sharing will not allow?  Thank you.

I found what was wrong or the problem.

During the process of deployment of our new systems Windows 7 wipe us the rules of default outgoing firewall who do seem to not be a problem because outbound connections have been set by default to "allow". But we have learned that only when outbound rules for file sharing and printer available (enabled or not) can share news can be created.

After the creation of the joint ownership, these outbound rules can be removed and sharing still works fine to keep rules to incoming traffic.  I guess this is normal, but it is not quite make sense to me why the outbound rules are explicitly required for files and printers share when you create a share... but that is what has worked for us.

  • The setting of file sharing and printer in my LAN adapter is being turned off when I reboot. Why? What could be responsible for this?

    My PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
    With leader & Printer Sharing, I am able to access the files on another PC 32 bit Windows 7 and the PC can access mine. After a reboot of my PC is possible - file & print sharing has set itself off the power in the properties of the adapter on my PC (the other PC is still OK).

  • File sharing and replication, some questions

    Hi guys.

    First of all, my sistem

    A vsphere cluster 5.1, with 7 guest esxi with a shared storage (HDS).

    So I have a few machines virtual replication to an external site, with a cluster of vsphere 5.1 with 3 esxi host. But a bad broadband bandwidth beetween the two sites.

    There is one machine virtual replication with several activities of memory, and I will not reproduce his memory.

    I read this article and says that isolated swap file in a different data store and not replicate this data store.

    http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/Techpaper/srm5-perf.PDF

    (see fig 19).

    but I have a few questions:

    -Store data file must be shared or a different data store peer esxi host?

    -Vmotion host is not affected?

    -Same datastore must exist in both groups?

    -Impact on other virtual machines?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Under normal circumstances, you should store the swap files in the same data store than the other files of the virtual machine. However, you need to prevent replication of swap files to avoid excessive consumption of band network bandwidth. In addition, certain providers of storage is recommended that you do not replicate files to Exchange. Only to prevent the replication of swap files if it is absolutely necessary.

    If you use a replicated data store to Exchange files, you must create a data store replicated for all recovery sites and clusters protected both the protégé. The replicated data store should be visible to all the hosts in the cluster, or vMotion will not work.

    It does not affect the other VM.

  • PC Windows 7 and Vista Home Premium computer network cannot access each other

    I have an a Premimum Vista computer with a USB printer on a network with a Windows 7 Ultimate Computer.  Both recognize each other both are visible in the network on both computers) but I can not access one or the other.  Message on window 7 says "your computer seems to be correctly configured but the resource does not."
    "Any suggestions?  I need to produce and share printers.

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    In Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. create shares as desired. In Windows 7/Vista I usually shares its office and the Public directory.

    E. After you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.

  • Simple network file sharing XP Home Edition

    I have windows XP Home Edition 2007 Service pak 3. I can't share files on the network. In the network > tools > there is no file simple file sharing check box

    "Simple file sharing" is applied (always enabled) for Windows XP Home editions.  Only XP Pro editions can disable Simple file sharing.  This does not mean that you can not share files.  Generally, you share folders simply by doing a right click on a folder and selecting:
    Properties-> sharing (tab)-> share this folder.

    You must also have the file sharing and printer installed and active on your computer.  More about here:

  • Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

    Environment:

    -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
    I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
    Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
    Machine 1:
    -Cable
    -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
    -Working Group: DISCOVERY
    -The discovery of the network: WE
    -File sharing: WE

    We need additional information to help you with the problem, please answer the following.

    What antivirus application do you use?

    I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

    Method 1:

    Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

    Enable or disable Windows Firewall

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

    Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

    Method 2:
    Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

    (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

    (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

    (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

    (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.
