SMB Issue with new server? Randall C. 10-13-2005

We have just moved a server from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003. These
are two physical machines. They are running terminal services with Citrix
MetraFrame XP. Through this server, the Citrix connections need to map a
drive to a Solaris box. On the old CTX1 (Win2000) server, the users were able
to do that. On the new CITRIX (Server 20003) machine, they cannot. They get a
message that says
"\SOLARIS is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The remote procedure call failed and did not
execute."

Is this something related to SMB setup or configuration? In a published
application connection, a user can click on file, open and browse to the
server by typing \solaris\subfolder and login. But Browsing through network
neighborhood does not work.

The root problem is that there is a published application that was simply a
net use command to map a network drive to that solaris server. That was
working on CTX1 but not on the new CITRIX server. Any help is appreciated.

It certainly could be a SMB issue. Windows 2003 requires SMB signing by default
while Windows 2000 did not. Open Local Security Policy via secpol.msc and find
the security option for Microsoft network server:digitally sign
communications(always) and configure it to be DISABLED to see if that

Perhaps a simple observation but I assume you're accessing the share using
the *exact* same credentials as before? I'm not familiar with Solaris
security in particular but the share itself must provide access to these
users and this will likely be done through some group mechanism (however
that's handled on Solaris). If this has changed in anyway because of the
move to your new server then the Solaris box can no longer authenticate you
so it's game over.
