Windows 10 unable to access network shared drive on Windows server 2003

Hi,

We have an old windows 2003 server which shares a folder. I am unable to open it by \\ServerName\ShareName on Windows 10 computer, however I can open it by IP address like \\192.16.1.5. It's not DNS issue because I can ping the server name from the Windows 10 computer. The issue can be resolved by enable SMB client version 1 on some computers, but not all. Some other computers even with SMB Client v1 enabled, I still can't open \\ServerName, but IP still works.

What should be the problem? Where did I miss? Need help!

Thanks,

windows-server

hi,

we have that kind of problem
i did some register key modifications but it won't help when we restart my pc same problem accrued.

After some research i find out that windows 10 security update blocked network drive on server 2003
i recommend changes your server operating system

if you don't then i have a solution but you have do it everytime you restart

  1. disable the network adapter

  2. disconnect networks drive

  3. restart only windows explore through task manager

  4. enables networks adapter

  5. check ip address in server pc ( type ipconfig in cmd)

  6. run that server ip through windows + r

  7. if it open then remap the drives which you want

thanks & regards

Hi
This is not a problem. It is a license issue with your windows server 2003. by default, you get 10 Client access licenses. Please troubleshot the problem from licensing angle and let me know

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A!

In regards to your issues, can you try to access the sharing folder use FQDN?
You can try to
(1) Add the DNS domain suffix in the TCP/IP advanced properties of the troubled computer.

(2)Delete Offline Files Cache:
Open Registry editor (Execute Regedit from Run window)
Go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters
If Parameters key does not exist under CSC you can add it.
Now in the Parameters node create a new registry value with the name FormatDatabase of type REG_DWORD (i.e DWord 32-bit value)
Set the data in this new registry value to 1.
Close registry editor
Reboot the machine

It seems to work but seems inconsistent we have been struggling with this issue for months.

Alguém tem alguma ideia de como superar este problema ?
Tambem estou com maquinas com windows 10 precisando acessar compartilhamento em w server 2003, visto que ainda usamos sistemas legados e só rodam nesta versão de sistema operacional.
