... is not accessible

Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Network path was not found."

Resolutions
1) make sure no any firewall blocks the LAN traffic.
2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer.
3) check user's rights.
4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp.
5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and re-share the drive manually.
6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are w2k/xp.
8) stop Computer Browser service on win9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS network.
9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer).
10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network).
11) Make sure the server service is running.
12) If you can see the share in Network Neighborhood but not access it, this issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or group access.

"... not accessible. Logon failure: account current disabled.

Symptom: When browsing a network drive in Windows Explorer,  you may receive above error message.

Resolutions:  this is cache credentials issue. To fix this problem and cache the credentials, use net use \\computername /user:username command.

"... not accessible. Access Denied "

SYMPTOMS: When you attempt to connect to a network share, you may receive the following error message: \\Servername\share is not accessible. Access Denied. If you are accessing a share in another domain, this message may appear even though you have verified that the trust is configured correctly. Also, the share may be visible in Network Neighborhood.

RESOLUTION: This issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or group access.

For step by step troubleshooting "no accessible", visit this web site: http://www.howtonetworking.com/Troubleshooting/notaccessibale0.htm.

"...not available. The server is not configured for transactions"

Symptom: when trying to browse My Network Places, you may receive this message "...not available. Server is not configured for transactions".

Resolution: 1. Use "net share" command on the shared computer to check share status. If there is not a share named "IPC$" in the share list, use  "net share ipc$" command to create it.

2. Check your the network administrator if he/she may choose to not share the server's resource.

3. Case Study - Server is not configured for transactions - it may be a virus

"A domain controller for your domain could not be contacted. You have been logged on using cached account information. Changes made to your profile since you last logged on may not be available"

Resolutions: 1. Check the DNS settings and make sure the client points to correct DNS.
2. Make the computer have correct TCP/IP settings and can ping the domain controller.

"Access is denied"

Symptoms: 1. When attempting to create a folder or copy a folder on a network drive, you may receive "Cannot create or replace xxxxx: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use".
2. When attempting to save a file on a network drive, you may receive "Cannot save or create xxxxx: Access is denied. Make sure the disk you want to save the file on is not full or write-protected or damaged".

Resolutions: go to the properties of the drive>Sharing, add the the user and give Change permission.
2. Make sure everyone has Change permission.

For step by step troubleshooting "no accessible", visit this web site: http://www.howtonetworking.com/Troubleshooting/notaccessibale0.htm.

"Access Denied" Message When Opening from or Saving to a Network Folder

Symptom: When opening a network folder in Windows Explorer and then try to open a file from or save a file to that folder, the associated program may report a sharing violation, return an "access denied" message, or open the document as read-only. Typically, this problem occurs when you open a network folder and then double-click to open a Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel file. The document opens as read-only.

Resolution: To fix this problem, go to Windows Explorer, open the network folder that contains the file that you are trying to open or save. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. Click Use Windows classic folders, and then click OK.

"An extended error has occurred" or "Access Denied"

Symptoms: When mapping a network drive using net use or using the net view command to view a different computer in the domain, you may receive: "An extended error has occurred" or "Access Denied" error messages.

Resolutions: 1) This issue may occur if the workstation doesn't synchronize the time with the server. After verifying that basic network connectivity exists, you can force time synchronization on the client computer manually. To do this, run net time /domain /set command.
2)
Make sure you have granted enough licenses for clients accessing.

" computername is not accessible. No permission to access the resources"

If  both win2000/XP and win9x can see the workgroup but only win2000/XP can access a win 2000/XP computer, and win9x gets the above error, check the group name. If they are the same name,

Check these: 
1) are you sure the logon user has permission to the shared folder?
2) have you tried to logon using the same user name and password of the accessed win2k/XP computer?
3)  the last and risky one, if you enable guest account in the accessed win2000/XP computer, can you access now?

Logon unsuccessful: The user name you typed is the same as the user name you logged in with

Cause: it could be the name resolution issue, especially DNS issue.

Symptom: When attempting to logon using the Terminal Services client, you may receive the following error message: "Logon Message: You do not have access to logon to this session".

Resolution: By default, TS connection security setting allows only administrators to log on. To set custom TS connection permissions, go to Terminal Services Configuration>Connections folder. Right-click the connection (RDP-TCP)>Properties>Permissions, add the users or/and groups that needs access to this connection.

More Connections Can Be Made At This Time

Symptoms: When attempting access a shared folder on a remote computer, you may receive this message “No more connections can be made at this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept” or “This request is not accepted by the network. Try again later”.

Causes: 1) The share that is configured to allows a specific number of connections, and that number of connections has been reached.
2) The 10 user connection limit has been reached if the remote computer is w2k/XP.
3. If you have Per Server licensing, the license limit has been reached

"Multiple connections to the server or shared resource are  not allowed"

Symptom:  when attempting to join a domain, you may receive "Multiple connections to the server or shared resource are  not allowed. Please disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."

Resolution: try using net use /d from a command to clear all your mapped connections before joining the domain. You can also disconnect the mapped drive in Windows Explorer by right-click the mapped drive and select disconnection.

"Network path not found" in a domain network 1

SYMPTOMS: When trying to join a W2K/XP to a Windows 2000 domain by using he NetBIOS domain name, you are successful but not the FQDN and you may receive one of the following error messages:1) The following error occurred attempting to join domain "example.com": The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.  2) Network path not found.

RESOLUTION: This issue may occur if the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is not running on the client computer. To start  the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service, go to MMS>Services, double-click TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service.

"Network path not found" in a domain network 2

Symptom: some w2k/xp can't join the domain randomly. The DNS server is multihomed server..

Resolution: You can find some computer browser errors on the DNS server. Disable one of two NICs will work. More resolutions can be found in browser Issue page.

Still need help, contact consultant   at http://www.ChicagoTech.net for the tech support.

"Network path not found" in a workgroup network - error 53

RESOLUTIONS:
1) Make sure that File and Printer Sharing is enabled on on the shared computer.
2) Make sure that shared machine has something shared.
3) Make sure that you have created the same workgroup and logon the same username if you try to access w2k/xp network.
4) Make sure that you have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP if this is a mixed OS network.

"Not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource"

Symptom: Your WinXP,  in a peer-to-peer network,  may receive the following error when you double-click My Network Places/Computers Near Me: <Workgroup Name> is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Resolution: 1) Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on one or more computers in the workgroup. To do that, go to properties of Local Area Connection>properties of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)>General> Advanced>WINS, check Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (If you have a DHCP-assigned IP address, select Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server ). 2) Make sure the Computer Browser service is started.

"Not enough server storage is available to process this command." error.

SYMPTOMS: When accessing shares on a server from a client, you may receive "Not enough server storage is available to process this command." error. You may receive this message and Event ID: 2011 after you install Norton Antivirus for Windows.

Resolution:
1)
The registry value IRPstackSize may be not explicitly present. To increase the value of the parameter, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ LanmanServer\Parameters. If the key is not present, choose Add Value in the Registry Editor. The Value Name should be IRPStackSize and the Data Type is REG_DWORD.
2) Remove any unnecessary entries from this value in the registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\NullSessionPipes.
3) If the machine has a non-zero PagedPoolSize in the Registry, you need to re-set it by going to HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and double-click on PagedPoolSize and set to 0.
4) Disable Norton antivirus to see if that will fix the problem.

For consultants, refer to Not enough server storage is available page.

 "Not Enough Storage to Complete Operation"

SYMPTOMS: When you try to open the Printers folder, you may receive the following error message "There is not enough storage to complete this operation". This is because the size of the registry has exceeded the maximum size set in the virtual memory settings.

RESOLUTION: Increase the maximum registry size. To do that, go to Start>Control Panel>System>Performance> Change (In Windows 2000, click the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and then Change). Type a larger value in the Maximum Registry Size box.

"No logon server available"

Symptoms: you can ping the server by ip and name but can't map the shared drive by using net use \\ip or \\servernameIf you try, you may receive the "No logon server available".

Resolutions: This sounds like cache credential issue. 1) make sure the computers in the same network, the same workgroup/domain and have created the same username. 2) use net to cache the credential. 3) The user profiles may been damaged.

"No domain server was available to validate your password"

Symptoms: when trying to logon a domain from win9x, you may receive a message "The following error occurred while loading protocol number 0. Error 38: The computer name you specified is already in use..." and then "No domain server was available to validate your password".

Resolution: 1) make no two host name in the network. 2) check WINS and make sure no one host uses two IPs. If it does, delete all of them and reboot the computer.

"No domain server was available..." while the dialup connection is active

Symptom: you have  windows 2000 domain controller with DNS, DHCP, WINS and Dialup connection. Whenever the dialup connection is active, none client can't logon and gets a message "No domain server was available to to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources"

Resolution: Make sure you don't have "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" checked under TCP/IP Advanced DNS settings. To check this, go to the Properties of the connection> the Properties of the TCP/IP>Advanced>DNS, uncheck "Register this connection's addresses in DNS"

Still need help, contact consultant      at http://www.ChicagoTech.net for the tech support.
