Hi,
I’m running ZimaOS (1.5.4 alpha 3) on Proxmox with 3 virtual disks. When I create a new folder and try to share it, the “Sharing management failed” error comes up.
I installed ZimaOS without Proxmox with the same result.
Any idea?
Thank you
Hi,
Remove and reinstall Zima OS solve the problem (afetr a couple of restart)
But now if I copy the link of the shared folder I have the following Windows error:
”You can’t access this shared folder because your organization’s security policy blocks unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC from unsafe or malicious devices on your network.”
Seems to be a Samba error
Hey @fuzzillogic
That “Sharing management failed” message might be an alpha3 bug, but before we call it that, can you run these commands and paste the output?
1) Check Samba status + logs
systemctl status smbd nmbd --no-pager
journalctl -u smbd -u nmbd --no-pager -n 200
2) Confirm config is valid
testparm -s
3) Confirm the share is actually being created
smbclient -L localhost -N
Now for the Windows error:
“Your organization’s security policy blocks unauthenticated guest access…”
This one is Windows blocking guest / anonymous SMB access (common on Win10/Win11).
So the clean fix is to make sure the share requires username + password.
Fix (recommended)
- In ZimaOS, set the share to use a user account (not guest/anonymous)
- In Windows File Explorer, connect using:
\\ZIMAOS-IP\sharename
- When prompted, enter the ZimaOS/Samba username + password and tick Remember credentials.
That should connect instantly without Windows rejecting it.
Thank you for your quick replay.
Unfortunately I’m abroad for work until Thursday.
Chek your suggestions asap.
Hi @gelbuilding
creating a new user solves the problem. I was connecting with my admin account….
Thins means I can’t access with it?
Thankyou
