Konica minolta bizhub C451 issue with Windows 8.1-Scan to SMB "deleted due to error "

0

Hi,

   It seems as if Windows 8.1 has some issues with sharing folders since konica minolta Bizhub Multifunction printer SMB Scan failed.when scan folder shared in the root drive(usually C:) and configured in MFP ,during the  process ,scanned image could be seen in shared folder but after a while it vanished ,and on MFP panel the error appear "deleted due to server error" and in the log file server error indicated.

  Searched the issue in konica minolta website, found out there is an update regarding this and some other issues all in one  update  under the name (KB2887595) for windows 8.1 - x64-based system .

   This update doesn't apply to 32 bit operating system ,so the problem still remains! I don't know of any updates for 32 bit operating systems ,so if someone knows anything in this regard or represent any solution ,that would be appreciated.

 Thanks

Location is not available error message for mapped drive after upgrading to 8.1

0

Hello,

I'm having an issue with a few different PCs running 8.1 (and now 10 as well) where our mapped drive will get this error message:

"[Mapped Drive Location] is unavailable.  If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again.  If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again.  If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."

This happens at random intervals and I'm not able to replicate it besides just leaving a folder open to a location within a mapped drive.  

The contents of the folder will disappear, but you can navigate right back to the location without any issues.  This was not an issue in 7 or 8, but when upgrading to 8.1, it began happening.  Windows 10 machines have this issue as well.  

I've tried adding different registry keys such as adding the key EnableLinkedConnections to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and also changing an autodisconnect key, but I can't recall where that was.  

Since this is happening to some version of Windows and not others, I'm assuming there is some sort of tweak to fix this and I'm hoping someone has come across it here.

Thanks!

Windows Firewall with Advanced Security causes an unexpected issue with network browsing

0
0

Hi!

In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on a MS Windows 8.1 Pro. PC in the LAN that is joined to a Windows domain and has an IPv4 address in the private IP range I createdoutbound rules that block SMB connections to the Internet hosts (seehttp://blog.cylance.com/redirect-to-smb for more info on why you would like to do it).

For that outbound rules I use the following settings:
- Local IP address: Any IP address
- Remote IP address: These IP addresses > Add > Predefined set of computers:Internet
- Remote ports: UDP/137, UDP/138, TCP/139, TCP/445.
Below you can see how the rules look like in the Group Policy Management Editor (the intention is to apply these rules with a GPO).

The following tests show that the rules work correctly on the test PC:

- When the rules are disabled, the test PC can connect to a shared folder on a Windows PC accessible on a public IPv4 address.

- When the rules are enabled, the test PC cannot connect to the same shared folder on a Windows PC accessible on a public IPv4 address.

In both cases the test PC can connect to shared folders in the LAN.

But, with the rules enabled, we also noticed that the test PC cannot browse other PCs in the LAN through Windows Explorer. Also, "net view" command returns: System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

After additional investigation we found out that disabling the rule for port UDP/137 solves the issue.

The question is why does network browsing not work in the LAN when the firewall rule should block only outbound trafic on port UDP/137 to theInternet hosts?

Remote Desktop connection and File Sharing

0
0

Hello, I have a technical question about file sharing. 

I use a remote desktop connection to connect to the company server.  We currently are in-between IT service groups (last guy retired, he will be missed!) Anyway, I need to save my desktop folders locally and have 4 or 5 of these local desktop folders saved as a backup on the server.   I just want to get my desktop folders back upped on the server easily. And I don't know how/what to ask for to do this.

Problems I am encountering:

1. I don't know how to set up a backup system so it saves the contents of desktop folders on and across a protected server from a desktop file.

2.  There are two types of folders that I am trying to backup from my desktop. Some folders are easy to copy and some are difficult - details on both are below.  The difficulty comes in the form to types of files in each folder. 

      2a.Folder type 1-  These files are simple customer data files, PDFs, word files, excel files. so some folders are full of updated forms and these folders continually increase in file size and number.  An Easy example of this type would be a invoice.  The folder grows in both size and file number each week because new files are always being added.

     2b. I can't accurately describe the second file type.  We use a program called AMTS - when you open this program you load the specific customer file from a drop down box.  Each time you open the specific customer file the AMTS program saves all the changes you made to that file and updates that customer file with a new date and then transfers the old customer file to an archive file in the C: drive. Basically I want to back up this folder onto the company server. 

3.  Can we make it safe so that data only gets shared one way?  I don't want people on the server changing my desktop files. 

Feel free to ask any questions.   Thank you in advance.

Hi

To clarify, my laptop Lenovo Y510p is able to connect wifi by it self, but it's wireless card is 802.11n, it only can use 2.4 ghz.

I've created the Hotspot and it's successfully connected to my phone, but I couldn't use the Internet.  I'm pretty sure that my phone works fine. I've even tried to Rollback my wifi driver but ended up in nothing. Even I couldn't find new update for my wifi Driver. I even tried the Third party software to create Hotspot (Connectify Dispatch), Despite it connected successfully to my phone, I couldn't access the Internet.
(Note: I use Windows 8.1)

I notice the sometimes will have the time out after I upgrade to windows 8.1, the 8.1 PC will ping the gateway with time out when the same time I can ping the gateway normally in the windows 7 PC or 2008 R2 Server, I have a VMWare server contain the Windows8.1 and windows2008 R2 server in same machine, but only windows 8.1 can not ping out. What will cause the problem? Thanks.

(The GW is using Zyxel USG 50, Vendor check the setting and HW is no problem. And I try several fireware still occur the problem. 

Moreover, the latest VM tools is installed on the Windows 8.1's VM, still occurred problem. )

Enable Recycle Bin on mapped network drives

0
0

A few years ago I discovered how redirected user profile folders in Windows get Recycle Bin protection, even when the folders are redirected to a network location. This was a huge find for me, and I used this feature to add Recycle Bin coverage to some of my mapped network drives. I shared this information on another forum here:

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/16974-Tip-Network-Recycle-bin

Today I figured out a better way to achieve the same goal that doesn't rely on user profile folder redirection, and am sharing that information for other users to try out. You might want to take a look at these forum topics for additional information:

The standard disclaimer applies - this might break stuff. I've only tested in Windows 8, and my testing is limited. Try this at your own risk.

This is what I've learned (or think I've learned - I might be wrong):

  • Windows Vista and later store the configuration settings for the Recycle Bin for redirected user profile folders in this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder
  • Under this key are separate keys for each redirected folder that is protected by the Recycle Bin. The keys contain the configuration information for each protected folder, and are named to match the GUIDs for "Known Folders." A list of the Known Folder to GUID mappings is available in one of the links above.
  • The registry also contains a list of "known folders" at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions

So, I reasoned that if I could create my own custom "known folder," I could add that to the list of folders that were protected by the Recycle Bin and protect any mapped network drive I wanted. So I looked at the list of existing "known folders" and created a key that was similar to the Documents key. I then fiddled with the values in the key until I narrowed it down to the minimum number needed to make the recycle bin work.

This .reg file will protect a mapped X: drive with a ~50GB recycle bin. You should modify the file to fit your needs:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"RelativePath"="X:\\""Category"=dword:00000004"Name"="XDrive"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"MaxCapacity"=dword:0000c7eb"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000

A few things of note:

  • The GUID in the above .reg file {9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF} came from this PowerShell command: "{"+[guid]::NewGUID().ToString().ToUpper()+"}"
  • Each "known folder"/Recycle Bin combination requires a unique GUID. If you don't want to use PowerShell to generate a GUID, you can use an online GUID generator.
  • I don't know what the "Category" value does, but the key I copied had it set to 4, and that works, so I didn't test any other values.
  • The "Name" value is required, but is not the name that will be shown if you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select properties. (At least not in my environment.) In my environment, the name that is shown is the name of the network drive.
  • Making this change adds a "Location" tab to the properties page of your mapped network drives. I suspect this could be removed by changing the "Category" value, but didn't bother to find out.
  • I only tested with mapped network drives. I suspect this would work with UNC paths as well, but I didn't bother testing.

I hope you're as excited to find this as I was to figure it out. Let me know if this works for you. I now plan to deploy the registry keys with Group Policy Preferences and will update this forum post with any information I discover.

Best regards

--Russel

Update: I am now using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the needed registry keys, and all my mapped network drives are now protected by the recycle bin.

Update 2: I have tested now with UNC paths, and this works fine. I still use mapped network drives, but if your environment requires UNC paths instead, you can use them. Note however that if you have a mapped network drive that points to a UNC path, and you protect the UNC path with a registry change, if a user deletes a file from the mapped network drive that points to that UNC path, the file will be permanently deleted. See below for more details.


Share Internet through ethernet port

I just bought some Philips hue bulbs and a bridge. The bridge needs to be connected to a router through ethernet. Well, I just use my phone's hotspot for Internet, and my phone obviously doesn't have an etherenet port. I want to be able to plug it into my computers ethernet port, and connect my computer to WiFi and route it to the ethernet port. I tried uusing ICS (ttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-internet-connection-sharing) and the Internet light lights up on the hue when I do, but the hue app still can't find it, and an ip scan shows that it's not actually connected. Am I doing this wrong? Any other way to accomplish this?

How do I setup a default gateway for a PPPoE link? (Win-10 hope thats okay - 8.1 and above)

0

I created the PPPoE connection the normal way for my broadband. I can dial out and I get the nameservers/ip-address. IMMEDIATELY after dialing out, my tracert pkts to the next two hops or so, get replies.

However, after a few seconds the connection is still active, but networking-TCP/IP screws up. ping router-ip doesn't work; browse router-iface fails; and the tracert fails beyond 2-3-5 hops, depending on the time (it takes me to start the tracert).

I checked ipconfig /all and i notice that my default gateway, the ISP is supposed to give me, is set to 0.0.0.0 like so:

Active Routes:

Network Destination        Netmask          Gateway       Interface  Metric

          0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0         On-link   117.216.228.254     21

Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 117.216.228.254(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

I also checked EventLog and my computer is asking for the gateway in its request. The connection works perfectly in Linux so it's not an ISP issue. Here's a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/cJ15zyru

(also tried disabling the various virtual adapters and ipv6 with no luck - how do i force a default gateway, or find out who my default gateway is for a manual entry)

MSN Homepage automatically load on startup using any default browser. Any way to disable this?

I'm an admin of a cyber cafe in my local area. All cient PC's (Windows 8.1 x64) are connected to each other including an Admin PC via wireless wifi. Recently, i change the router settings to hide its SSID. The only wifi available in Windows list are Hidden Wifi. I set and make each of the PC connect to the hidden wifi automatically on startup and it works normally. The only annoying problem, is a homepage MSN is automatically load at default browser whenever the hidden wifi is connected each time computer starts. It's pretty annoying as I need to ensure my client redirected to my desired homepage. I set IE, Chrome and Mozilla to specific website. But eventually each time computer boot, it automatically open a default browser as an MSN homepage. I can assure this annoying problem rises when it connect to hidden network and not occur when connect to normal wifi with SSID. I've searched everywhere on Google but no solution for this. So I'm asking in here instead. How to remove the MSN homepage automatically open at startup even though i set homepage as something else. Is there any way to prevent this? Image

P/S : And oh yes, don't tell me to check startup items in start shortcut, msconfig etc. I already check them and there are no reason for browser to open automatically at MSN homepage!

Windows 8.1 Network Share 0x8007003b Error Copying Files

0
0

Hi All,

I'm having an issue when copying files from a Windows network share. If the file is above 5MB it will start copying and then after a minute or two I will get an error such as:

Interrupted Action

An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error 0x8007003B: An unexpected network error occurred.


The network share is in a different office and is accessible over a point-to-point VPN, so the connection is not that fast. 

But before everyone tells me to start diagnosing the router and or VPN please take note of the following:

  • My colleague who is running Windows 7 can copy files from the network share fine
  • If I run a Windows 7 VM on my Windows 8.1 laptop I can copy the files across fine

I also know it isn't an issue with this particular file share. I set up a little lab, where I had one VM which had a shared folder and 2 other client VMs one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.1. I limited the bandwidth to the two client VMs to a similar speed we see across our VPN. The result was that the Windows 8.1 failed with the same error above, whereas the Windows 7 copied fine.

There is also a noticeable difference visually when copying using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7:

  • Windows 7 - The progress bar progresses smoothly giving the current speed and estimated time remaining
  • Windows 8.1 - The progress bar progresses in a jumpy fashion. E.g. it shows no progress, then after a minute it jumps and shows 16% progress, then shows no further progress, then jumps by another 18%. There is no estimated time remaining.

I ran Wireshark to investigate what was going on at the network layer. I see the following behaviour:

  • Windows 8.1 - The file is copying fine then all of a sudden there are a lot of TCP dupack packets. After which the Windows 8.1 client sends a RST packet and then the error pops up.
  • Windows 7 - The file is copying fine then you also see a load of TCP dupack packets, however no error is displayed and it continues copying fine.

I'd appreciate any help with this I'm hoping there are some settings I can change to make Windows 8.1 behave more like Windows 7!

FYI originally posed here (but was advised to ask on Technet) - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/windows-81-network-share-0x8007003b-error-copying/300bc9a4-597b-402a-b885-9dd6f6fb51a2

DNS Resolution Failure with SonicWALL Mobile Connect VPN and Domain Joined Computer

Hi Guys,

Was hoping someone can help me. I'm having this exact issue: https://support.software.dell.com/kb/sw13532 and the workarounds aren't working. Logged a case with SonicWALL and they referred me to log a case with Microsoft. So, before going down that lonely road, maybe someone has seen this before.

In short, when a workstation connects to the SonicWALL SSLVPN; DNS resolution to internal DNS servers via the VPN fail. If I dis join the computer from the domain, DNS resolution works fine via VPN. This only affects SonicWALL SSLVPN clients that are joined to the domain.

Any suggestions or hopefully a link to the Windows Update\Patch?

Thanks,

Jacques
