Connecting to win2k Server with Windows 7 Ultimate

I cannot connect to a Win2k Server (which is also a domain) from a Windows 7
Ultimate computer.

The name exists on the Win2k Server and
I CAN logon with name and password from any other XP computer.

net use z: \\servername\folder /user:domain\John hispassword

gives me: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.


Based on info I found elsewhere:
LmCompatibilityLevel is set to 1
Lan Manager Authentication Level "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session
security if negotiated"
Network Discovery is enabled
File and print sharing is on
Password protected sharing is off
Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
128 bit encryption is off
Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and
shares


Thanks.

I can also connect to the win2k server with microsoft Virtual PC from the
Windows 7 computer.
But I shouldn't have to do this, I should be able to connect from the
windows 7 session.

Thanks.

From what you've posted, it appears fine, unless you've changed something that I am not seeing at first glance.

To also better help, please post an ipconfig /all from the domain controller and from the Windows 7 machine. This will help us evaluate any basic DNS and other info the ipconfig provides to come up with a diagnosis. Also provide any Event log EventID# errors you see on the client side and the DC.

Thank you,

Hello Ace,

In your other response:

"One thing I would like to point out, is that Windows 7 Home cannot be
upgraded to Ultimate. It would be a complete and clean reinstall, which I
assume is what you meant."

We purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade, entered the product key and the
upgrade was downloaded and installed via internet. The process did not take
long. If by clean reinstall you mean installing the os from scratch, then
this didn't happen. I mentioned this to microsoft tech support before these
posts and they basically ignored it and suggested I go to the forums or pay
for professional tech support.

Are you sure you need to do a clean reinstall?

Thanks.

From all the years that I've worked with various operating system versions, the "Home" versions were never allowed to be upgraded to any other non-Home versions, such as Professional, Business or Ultimate.

Also, when upgrading, lots of things are still active in the background from the previous installation.

I *always* opt for a clean installation to eliminate any variables.

When we purchased the upgrade however no media was given, they only sent a
product key. Do you know if we would be entitled to the media, or how I can
do a clean install with just the product key? Also I believe the original
version was Windows 7 Home Premium if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

Hi Bruce,

I had to lookup the available upgrade paths from Microsoft regarding WIndows 7. Apparently it is now supported to go from a Home version to Professional or Ultimate.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...79(WS.10).aspx

Even thought it is supported, I would still opt for a fresh installation.

As far as being entitled to the media, that would be something you must discuss with where you bought it. I would imagine the product key is sufficient to change it. If they gave you the Home media, you should still be able to use the Ultimate PID to install it as Ultimate. That's basically how Windows 2008 works. It is one media, but the PID determines the version.

I would contact them for more info.
