I wan't to acces a shared folder on a server 2008 from a Ricoh mfp. Not able to browse to the 08 server from the mfp. I tried the same thing on a server 2003 and it works. I use a simple path \\ ip\shared folder works on server 2003 but not on the 2008 ?? Is it a security issue

Hi, Have you tried allowing anonymous access from the printer? Also, does the printer have a way for you to enter credentials to use to access the share? -- Mike Burr

Hi, On July 1st we will be making Windows Server 2008 R2 General forum read only. After receiving a lot of feedback from the community, it was decided that this forum is a duplication and therefore redundant of the General Forum. So, until July 1st, we will start asking customers to redirect their questions to the General Forum. On June 11th, CSS engineers will move any new threads to the General Forum. Please post a reply to the announcement thread if you have any feedback on this decision or the process. You can also email WSSDComm@microsoft.com. Thanks.
