Trying to access files on a Windows 2003 Server domain

Runnng WM6 on an i-mate JasJam (HTC clone).
I have wireless working fine and can surf the net. I don't have any proxy configured.
I try to use File Explorer to get to the files on my home server but when it prompts for username, p/w and domain, it keeps prompting or gives an error even though they are correct.
I'm giving it my Administrator login details and have the domain name correct.
I'm able to connect to a NAS directly and access/view files that way. The NAS is running some sort of UNIX and thus doesn't have the same issues that Windows is obviously having. I can connect via USB and ActiveSync works fine.
I've also tried connecting to a PC in the house that's running MCE edition and thus isn't on a domain. I've tried using the main username/password that I use to log in as administrator on that box.
Again, same thing - it just prompts over and over.
I'm familiar with setting shares up and setting security, but none of that is applicable because I'm trying to authenticate as domain administrator. I've also tried using local administrator but that doesn't work either.
The error I get is "Error connecting to resource: -1073741802". (Nothing in Google).
I recall some hidden registry setting that I once had to set on Windows Server 2003 to deal with unencrypted passwords, but I can't find anything on that now. I can't work out a google word combination that comes up with ANYTHING for logging onto a domain from a PPC. Frustrating!
Any ideas or experience in this? If you have please give specific settings where possible!
Thanks

There was an issue with trying to RDP onto W2K3 boxes from a Windows Mobile device - the solution to that was to set the administrator password to blank......not something you'd normally want to do, but it might be worth a try in this case just to see if it works?
Have you tried using an account with less privileges (but with share and/or folder permissions) to see if that works?? The administrator account, be it domain or local, has some special traits that are not always made clear - you could try a domain user account with local admin rights.....
Also, for your Google search, have you tried "clear text" or "plain text" as keywords - I have a vague recollection of the registry entry you mention, but I'm at a loss to remember it myself....
HTH,
Mark.

help needed to set up Remote Desktop

can anybody tell me how to setup remote desktop from HTC to my PC (I am using Windows 7)
Step by step please guys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
With that guide I made it work, good luck.

I did exactly everything in this guide and even set a corresponding exception in the Windows firewall (also tried with Windows firewall off) - but the mobile remote desktop program always tells me there was an internal error... But what the heck could that be?

Dont bother the remote dt program is ****e, im currently using vnc which is a bit better, but rather lacking also.

Is it me or did that video not mention setting up your windows machine to allow connections.
Make sure remote desktop is enabled on your PC and make sure it is allowing connections from computers running any version of Remote desktop(2nd option) third option works between windows 7 machines but wouldn't allow my phone to connect.
Your error sounds like it is being caused by something on the phone end though so i dont know if that will help.
Those with remote desktop working can you get it to go landscape? Mine works fine except i can't get landscape mode. Also anyone know of a app that can send wake up requests to a machine? I have this on my laptop so i can wake my pc over the internet and then log in. Anything similar out there for win mobile?

allowing a connection through windows firewall alone is not helping, if you have other system securtiy programs that also has a firewall. or maybe your router has a firewall too. you should try and forward the right port (3389) in the software of your router.

I opened port 3389 on the router, I activated the correct remote desktop option on the PC (Vista), the IP is right (wrong IP adress throws a different error, so the program gets that far)...

I guess you have Windows 7 Home version

Have you tried using 16 bit high colour option? Mine said it couldn't connect when i turned it down to 256 colours.
Edit: Windows 7 x64 btw

OK on my windows7 x64 ive turned on remote desktop and set it to allow connections (2nd option) and i still cant connect, what do i type in user/pass on the hd2
-ive setup the portforwarding on my bethere box
-tryed both color modes on hd2
does it have to be over wifi or can it be over 3g?

Your user name and password for windows.
You MUST have a password set up on your windows account to be able to use remote desktop. If you don't have a password set up remote desktop and other network related access will not work. I.e using the phone to access shared windows folders.

ok ive added a password to my pc but still wont work, i think i tmay be something todo with this steps
2. Open a web browser, and type 192.168.1.1 to access your router. If you don't know the default username and password (usually admin/password), Google for it.
3. Enter port forwarding. Add a new entry using your local IP address, and the start/end port of 3389.

my router is a THOMSON TG585v7 and to log into it i need to type http://192.168.1.254 so i did and the only thing like port forwarding i can find is the Toolbox\Game & Application Sharing menu and in their i can type the ports but cant type the local IP address as their no where to add it, ive added a pic that might help you help me

If you are accessing the machine via your wifi(i.e your own network) you should be able to do it without any port forwarding.
So punch in your machines local IP and your username and password. That should work(make sure it is using your WiFi and not still connecting via 3G). If you wanted to be able to do it via 3G/wifi(external network) then you will need to get port forwarding working.
Edit: Port forwarding guide for you. I think this is roughly the same version of router you have just different branding.

so in the last part of the setup i need to manually define it as the local ip, still not working if that's what i should do

The last step is applying the forwarding to your PC. So you should be able to pick your PCs name in the drop down box.
Have you tried just doing it over your local wireless network(forget about port forwarding for a minute.) Enter the local IP(could also just try entering the name of the PC though im not sure if that works) of your PC as the computer then your user name and password.

Remote Desktop Mobile Configuration

can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to configure the remote desktop? btw i am using windows 7

On the Phone in Remote desktop mobile :-
In the box Computer put your pc's IP address
In the box User put the pc's users registered name (not the computers name) ie the name you use when you log on to your pc guest user etc.
In the box password put in your pc login password
In the box Domain put the full computer name found under my computer properties.
On your pc under my computer properties - remote - tick allow remote access
You should be ok to go - make sure your phone has a data/internet setting enabled and is active.

Oh and don't forget to adjust your firewall settings to allow your HD access

thank you very much, it funny how you give the simplest instructions and it all works in one go and the rest are so complicated etc haha thanks man

ah there always has to be a problem, 1) i cant see the keyboard even witout full screen. 2) when i try to login i get an error "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed. Logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced" HELP!!

I had the keyboard problem too.
I use finger keyboard and in the display option of Remote Desktop I ticked "Fit to remote desktop" Be careful it allows you to tick the other box as well.
Also colours = High Color.
As to the other messages it must be a Windows 7 issue of more parameters having to be entered.Also I log off on my pc before I connect.
Hope this helps

Same probleme here , I thought I was the only one

i am going nuts soon! ARGH!

when you choose to allow remote desktop connections, make sure you use the
"allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure)" otherwise it wont connect.

Window xp only have 1 option to choose from .
Remote Desktop : Allow user to connect remotely to this computer.

First try to connect from other normal computer.

did you open wifi in hd2?

yes i enabled wifi .
@@ dr.sid. i only have 1 Pc.

if you guys are behind routers, make sure you have the right port forwarding set up and check the ip address of your comp from the router. Also, make sure you're connected to router via wifi on you phone

hi svegetto. appreciated for your reply and help. but i had already done what you stated in my 1st post. but the problem still occur

This is all out of memory, so I appologize if i'm wrong, but don't you need to also add port forwarding for port 80?

tried forwarded port 80 does not work too.

Tried it today, but it's not working for me either :/
I've gotten it to work before so I don't know what's going on...
I know that I use the correct ip and username + password

try this
Enter the domain name as the full computer name with no spaces as well as user name/ip (public or local).
In comm manager go to set up data connection and select adavanced tab.
under connections select 'select networks'.
Then select the edit tab on the my work network, followed by the proxy tab on the bottom. Then tick box ''this network connects to the internet''.
press ok and then try and connect. This works a treat on 3g. have not tried on wifi but i guess its the same.

HTC Shift - Connect WM side with Windows 7 side using WM Network Plugin

Hi,
I tried to do that using this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3491777&postcount=2
but I failed! Maybe because this solution is for Vista and I use Windows 7 Ultimate
Is anyone here which succesfully done the connection of WM side with Windows 7 side using "Network plugin" installed on WM side (already included in Thaihugo ROMs). If anyone which do it please let us know how he do it as this is very important for our HTC Shift which don't have SD Card on WM.

Nobody is an Network Expert here?

haha
Make sure you have properly setup a share under Windows 7
Create a dedicated share, don't use the share wizard (in your explorer, go to options, and deselect the last one: use sharing wizard.
Also, all your accounts must have passwords. specially administrators ones.
If you cannot connect to your share using a network computer, it will not work with the WM side.

Hi Thaihugo
I really appreciate your reply and the great ROMs you released for all of us!
My HTC Shift run your Light ROM on WM side and Windows 7 Ultimate on Windows side. My internet connection is USIM 3G/HSDPA.
I followed exactly your suggestion and also deselected "use sharing wizard" but I still get a "Map drive error".
What I can see is that "USB Tools" works for me only with "Enable advanced network functionaly" deselected and once the WM side si connected with Windows 7 side through ActiveSync then the internet connection become unavailable. Once the USB Tool "cable" is disconnected the internet connection become available.
I have only one Administrator user on my Windows 7 and is password protected.
My Windows 7 Internet Connection is defined as "Home" internet connection.
My PC name was defined as genuine name "SHIFT" as on your first instructions.
When I enter \\shift and press Enter I can see folders "Users" and "HTC Shift" (shared by me) as Shared Folders!
I also look inside "Change advanced sharing settings" and "network discovery" is turned on.
And I stilll can't map the network drive and believe me that I lost hours trying everything and searching Google but nothing works...
If you have any other suggestion please let me know and I will try...
Thanks!

Create a share without any right (all users allowed, on share and on NTFS)
go to the file explorer on WM side. Select menu, then open path - new path
enter \\shift\yourshare
It should connect.
If not, go to the Windows 7 side, click on the start menu, and search for "local". You will have local policy settings.
go to local policy, security settings, then network security: LAN manager authentication level. Select "send LM and NTLM responses". Confirm, reboot your pc and retry. It should work.

Thaihugo, thank you again for your real help.
I followed exactly the steps you suggest me and still can't connect and I tried even with USB Tools connected to Windows 7 side (internet connection not available) and also without USB Tools (internet connection available).
As I told you when "USB Tools" is connected to Windows 7 side then the internet connection becomes unavailable (disconnected) and once the "USB Tools" is disconnected the internet connection becomes available on Windows 7 side (reconnected).
Also for me "USB Tools" works only if I disable "Enable advanced network functionality".
I also disabled my Firewall on Windows 7 but nothing works... there should be other settings for me?
Thanks!

Nope, you have all the keys. Did you make sure the policy is changed as instructed?
You MUST connect USBtools, and yes, 3G connection will not be available during this.
I suggest you retry all this steps. I've done it on my own shift using exactly the same configuration.

Thaihugo, thank you again for your support. I will confirm here every step completed and this should help on finding the issue I have:
1. "first, know the name of your shift. If you didn't change it it is SHIFT, otherwise type hostname in a command line in vista side."
Done! My Windows 7 computer name was changed to: SHIFT
2. "then type services.msc and make sure the server service is started and set up to automatic if you want it to start every boot"
Done!
3. "Now type \\shift in your start menu. A windows must open, and you should see thinks, like Users,and printers. If not, don't worry, you can still go on. For more advanced users, it can be a good time to set up a share."
Done! I can see "Users" and "HTC Shift" folder. "HTC Shift" folder was created by me on partition D: (I have partition C: with Windows 7 only and D: for anything else) and set as shared folder with read/write/execute options for all users "Everyone".
4. "Now go on Snapvue side, and go to settings-connections-network plugin. First click on the "enable network folder" and wait for the reset."
Done!
5. "Now, when reset is done, start usbtools to activate activesync. On vista side, make sure you are connected ( set up a partnership, or just click on connect whitout partneship. In this case, you will have to do it each time.)"
Done! I choose "connect whitout partneship".
6. "Go back on Snapvue, and in network plugin click on New...
In remote path, enter \\shift\users if shift is your computername, and if you saw Users in the window on the second step. Otherwise, you can enter \\shift\c$ to access the whole drive. Click on map drive. Enter your username and your password (the one you use to login in vista)"
Done! I tried with \\shift\users and also with \\shift\htc shift or with \\shift\c$ and after some little time I get the same error "Map Drive failed".
7. "Make sure you have properly setup a share under Windows 7
Create a dedicated share, don't use the share wizard (in your explorer, go to options, and deselect the last one: use sharing wizard."
Done! I created "D:\HTC Shift" folder then right click on it Properties - Sharing - Advanced Sharing , I selected "Share this folder" then click on "Permissions" and I have "Group or user names" set for "Everyone" and at "Permissions for Everyone" I have "Full COntrol" , "Change" and "Read" all selected!
8. "Also, all your accounts must have passwords. specially administrators ones."
Done! I have only one Administrator account named "Admin" and have password.
9. "Create a share without any right (all users allowed, on share and on NTFS)
go to the file explorer on WM side. Select menu, then open path - new path
enter \\shift\yourshare
It should connect.
Done! but still don't have the connection...
10. "If not, go to the Windows 7 side, click on the start menu, and search for "local". You will have local policy settings. go to local policy, security settings, then network security: LAN manager authentication level. Select "send LM and NTLM responses". Confirm, reboot your pc and retry. It should work."
Done! but still don't have the connection...
Don't know where is the issue but there should be something else which made the difference between my configuration and yours...

Concentrate on trying point 9, and on checking point 10. Maybe you have something else blocking up. I would suggest trying with another computer, and maybe if you can another pocket pc on the same wifi network.
I'm sorry I cannot help you further. Have you other devices available for diagnostics?
BTW: I have my phone off, no sim card

My phone is turned ON and I have sim card inside as the internet connection come from my sim card (3G/HSDPA). My WiFi is turned OFF and Bluetooth ON (bluetooth mouse Microsoft 5000 on it).
Other devices I have is other HTC Shift where I have the same issue and my notebook with Windows XP Pro.

try turning phone off and remove your sim card (just to be sure). Also, please try to connect from your XP computer.
