Windows 2003 server & Excel 97 xls files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

Hi there...

I get error "disk is full" & "document not saved" from Excel 97 / Windows 98 on a Windows 2003 Server shares when saving. I have full permisson, disbaled antivirus kernel filters / backup OFO filters. Posted this message to the Office section also.

The xls files can be newly created xls files, they can contain embedded objects and macro. However, as soon as i delete for example a worksheet from the document i can continue working saving to the document to the server. The Windows 98 machine has DS client installed, succesfully logged in... SMB signing is turned of at the domain level.

When running a network monitor scan, i see a SMB "Trans2" error saying : "File not found ( Pathname error ) .

Tried it at 5 diffrent computers, same error.... ???

Regards

Hi Lars!

I suppose you have Win2k DS client on Win98 PCs.
If so, then look at:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=278558

What you need is:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=323466

You can find it on Win2k3 SBS CD also.

Best regards.

Hi Val

Thanks for input. However, I have this hotfix installed as I belived it be something with the NTLM2 auth first, but the thing is that I can save the .xls 97 file to the Windows 2003 the first time, hwoever, make one change to original file when it is on server and trying to save, error "document not saved".

I can see that it is trying to write to the temp xls "save" file when the error comes up. Issues are reported to MS regarding this, however, no supplied KB applies as today with the error as I can see.

As I said, disabled everything on the server regarding antivirus / backup kernel filter, and still get a SMB error frame. (netowork monitor can detect it, running application EtherReal.. spots SMB file path not found!

Hey Gang,

I have been reading through the threads on this in several
MS newsgroups and posted messages in those newsgroups
requesting assistance. I have been dealing with this
problem since Monday and have been feverishly researching
a solution.

Here is what I have come up with so far:

1. At the Windows Server 2003 system, Enter at a cmd
prompt: net config server /autodisconnect:-1

2. For Windows 95 workstations, do the following at the
Windows Server 2003 system:
Default Domain Policy: Account Lockout Threshold,
increase to 15 or more.
Default Domain Policy: Microsoft Network Clients ..
Digitally Sign Communication Always - Set to Disabled

3. For Windows 98SE / ME / NT4.0 clients, check out the
following:
support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814598

I would appreciate knowing if these solutions worked for
you.

Regards,

Frank

Hi there Val

First of all, thanks for response... then again, tried the solution as described. Didnt work out though. Signing is of at def domain policy and we only apply it at the top so i know that it wont get reapplied below in ad structure. Also verified that win98 poledit got running but with no success in regards to the error.

Seems to be that somethings interfeers with the saving function of the xls file as I can see that it creates a temp file. Tried to disable any "kernel filters" that might scan it upon save. Now I am down to 6 native Win2003 filters, which I cant disable or the server will BOD.

Seems as many are expierencing this problem though.

/Regards

Oki, think I got a solution comin up on this probz...

Seems as if I load an application that contains or changes the Windows 98
native file system driver... as for example, filemon.exe.. i can save the
from Excel to WIndows 2003. Cause = Filemon.exe contains a VxD file
(filevxd.vxd) that runs as a file system driver for Windows 98 native driver
for reading / writing to file system. When I do this, i can save, if I close
the filemon.exe, it doesnt work.. so I just have to load the vxd from Windows
9x machine without lauching the GUI of filemon.exe.

Be back when i got info on how to load a dynamic vxd from within the OS. Any1?
