Hello Matthias,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

>From your description, I understand that you have two SBS 2K3 servers and
one Unix Server in your network, when you trying to access the Shared
folder in Unix Server, you got access denied error message. If I have
misunderstood your issue, please let me know.

Actually, this is a cross platforms issue, and this issue could be very
complicated to handle in Public Newsgroup, so a suggestion would be to
contact Microsoft Product Support Services via telephone so that a
dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be
advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.

To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS

If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for
regional support phone numbers.

Here I also would like to offer you general information for this issue,
please see:

1. You mentioned that you have two SBS servers, so I need to know what your
network topology is? Please draw a detail network diagram.

[Note]: There can only be one Windows Small Business Server in the Windows
Small Business Server domain. You cannot establish any type of trust
between the Small Business Server domain and any other domain.

2. What is the version of your Unix server?

3. What is the full content of the error message?

4. I assume that you have installed Samba software on the UNIX box to
support the SMB clients (XP station) to access the shared resources on the
Unix server. Can you use the ''net use'' command to map a network drive to
the UNIX shared folder? Try the following steps on the XP computer:

a. Open a command prompt.

b. Type ''net use <Drive Letter>: \\<Unix Server>\<Shared folder name>
/user:<Old username> <Password>'' (without the quotation mark) and press
Enter.

If the ''net use'' command can complete successfully, please edit a .bat
file and add it to the user's startup menu.

1). Open Notepad program.

2). Input the above net use command.

3). Save this file as a .bat file.

4). Add it to the User's startup menu folder in the client computer
(C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\).

Note: Since the user's authentication information is included in the .bat
file please only add the .bat file that including particular user's
authentication information to this user's private startup folder.

Regarding the SFU, it is a tool to connect the Windows platform with the
UNIX platform. SFU can help you to access the UNIX resources. You can
install the SFU on either the Windows server or the Windows client
computers. When you install the SFU on the windows client computer, you can
directly access the UNIX resources from the client computer.

When you install the SFU on the windows server, the server can work as a
Gateway for NFS so that you can access the UNIX resources through the
server. It provides a way for Windows clients to connect to the existing
NFS file system resources without having to have a Client for NFS loaded on
their machines. However, keep in mind that heavy NFS use could overload the
gateway server, creating a bottleneck in the system. The SFU can also
provide the user name mapping function. For the detailed information
regarding SFU, you may refer to the following links:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/techinfo/overview/sfuwp2.asp

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/techinfo/default.asp

You can install SFU on the SBS 2003 box. I suggest you that post the SFU
request to the following newsgroup for the detailed configuration steps:

microsoft.public.servicesforunix.general

Also, you can download the SFU from Microsoft web site and refer to the
help files.

Hope this information helps. If anything is unclear or you have any further
questions or concerns, please let me know. I am glad to be of assistance!


Best regards,

Brandy Nee
