a12vman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am trying to get access to one of my unraid shares thru Windows 2003 Server. I am not using any security on Unraid, everything is wide open. Both machines are on the same subnet. I can ping my unraid server from W2k3 and get a response. I can browse the network from W2k3 file explorer and see the Unraid server, but no shares appear. If I try to access the unraid share from a unc path(\\mediatower\music) on W2k3 server, I am prompted for credentials. I tried using my unraid root credentials, but no luck. Am I missing something here? I've heard that SMB service in W2k3 may be outdated. Thanks in Advance, -a12vman Link to comment
trurl Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The unRAID root user has no network access to shares by design. Does it work with any other computers on your network? If not, then maybe you haven't configured unRAID settings properly. There are settings to enable user shares over SMB, each disk can be shared or not over SMB, etc. Link to comment
a12vman Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sorry, I should have clarified. Yes, I have access to all my unraid shares from my windows 7 and windows 8 machines. The only machine I can't access the shares from is my Win2K Server. Link to comment
a12vman Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I created another Account on my Unraid Box with a username and password. I can now use those credentials from my W2K3 Server to access the shares. I completely missed the obvious! Link to comment
