Re: QNTC and Windows 7 shares (V5R4) -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Brad,

I have something that may at least point you in the right direction with
IBM.

We had an issue with seeing the shared folders under /QNTC on a Windows
2008 server from a V6R1 system. We had a PMR open with IBM for sometime
and I believe they were talking to Microsoft. Anyway, they eventually came
back with a PTF SI42517. I believe it had something to do with the CIFS
format in Windows 2008. This resolved our issue, although it seems to
require a kinit -k request to get a new TGT from the Kerberos server each
day, but we're working through that.

Anyway, this PTF is a test PTF and a cover letter search doesn't find it.
Also, it's obviously for V6R1 and not V5R4. However, maybe this will give
you somewhere to start with IBM? If it helps email me privately or call
and I'd be happy to discuss or even just provide the PMR number for
reference.

BTW, just to clarify, our issue was using single signon with profiles set
to local password management *NO and not being able to see the /QNTC
shares. It did work when we used local password management *YES, so I'm
not sure how closely that reflects your problem.

Thanks

subject: QNTC and Windows 7 shares (V5R4)

I have a customer and myself that are having problems seeing Shares on
Windows 7 machines through QNTC.

I thought I would test it on my own machine first and found my XP
machine shares show up fine, but for Windows 7 machines all I See is
the computer name under QNTC, but no shared folders under that.

The shares are set up with authority for everyone, I sign into the
AS/400 with the same userid and pw used on the windows 7 machine and
nothing.

Example:

WRKLNK '/qntc/w7box/*'

shows nothing when there should be a few folders listed.

WRKLNK '/qntc/wxpbox/*'

shows all the shares available with no problem.

I found a PTF that was supposed to address this issue but it didn't
seem to do anything to help.

Anyone else have the same issue or know of a fix? thanks!
