    File sharing in Windows 2008

    I am getting crazy. We connected our Windows 2008 to the domain. We made
    share, give share rights to everyone and in security added users. When
    we try to connect to the share by:

    \\Ipnumber\Share$

    It not work. What the hell is with Windows 2008?

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    What do you mean by "not work"? What error? Access is denied? Can't find
    network path?

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    When I disable firewall att all than I can access all shares from
    another machines in the network but when is enable firewall than it does
    not work.

    In simple firewall setting File and printer sharing is enabled in exceptions
    But there is two entries for File and Printers sharing in Exceptions. In
    the other one Group Policy is Yes.
    What should I change in firewall to be able to access all shares on the
    server???

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    Hey Marcus,

    In your Windows Server 2008, click Start and type:
    WF.msc

    Click Inbound Rules.

    Under File and Printer Sharing *, make sure that it is set to Enable under
    Domain Profile. You'll see a few File and Printer Sharing and enable all
    which is under Domain Profile.

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    The problem is that I can not change rules responsible for file sharing
    for Domain Profile from ws.msc. When I try it, than it says the rules
    was modified by System Administrator and can not be modified, and
    everithing is grayed. How to modified it???

    It does not matter if I logged as domain Admin or local Administrator.

    Regards
    Marcus.

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    Hey Marcus,

    Please try the following:

    1. Open GPMC.MSc
    2. Navigate to Default Domain Policy (Or create a new poliicy)
    3. Under the Action, select Edit.
    4. Group Policy Editor will open. Navigate to Windows Firewall with Advanced
    Security - LDAP://<DN>
    5. Click Inbound Rules
    6. Create a New Rule which allows the File and Sharing.

    Sorry for the earlier confusion - we can't modify a domain profile's
    policies through WF.msc.

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    I am realy confused now. You writing about LDAP but it is not whole
    domain security problem because we can share files from all other
    machines running windows 2003, Xp etc.
    Do I need download GPMC.MSC like we done in Windows 2003?

    Can the problem be caused that I am running Hyper-V on that machine?
    Why microsoft done everything so complicated. I thing that if I want to
    share file its mean that Windows should open firewall automatically. It
    is not in my case.


    I will try more tonight, I closed myself now by reseting Firewall rule,
    and I can not access my server from home by remote desktop.
    But maybe there is the way to remote open firewall for remote desktop.

    For what it's worth Marcus, I have windows 2008 server running with hyper -
    v and I have no problems connecting to a share in the way you mention in
    your post. I did not have to do any of the complicated things that have been
    mentioned in this thread- just set up file services role, and make sure
    appropriate permissions are set on the share- something else must be going
    on.

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    It was like that simple before connecting the server to the domain.
    After I connected to the domain firewalls rules stoped access to all
    shares on our Windows 2008 server.
    I did not use Group Policies at our domain att all before, therefore I
    was very surprised that Microsoft complicated everything in Windows 2008.
    I just tested now to run GPMC.msc on our domain controller and checked
    that rules for firewall was never activated, I changed and enabled this
    rules and after forcing policies, share become usable again. Really
    shame Microsoft. I spent two days fighting with such small problem.

    Thanks you all for help

    Interesting. My windows 2008 server is also joined to a domain, and again, I
    did not encounter these issues for some reason. I have not touched firewall
    settings or group policy since I set up my 2008 server.

    Re: File sharing in Windows 2008

    Hi Marcus,

    Really sorry that the changes done in W2k8 made things much harder. Guess MS
    needs to re-work on this area. Good feedback tho ;)
