windows 7 scanning and windows 7 enterprise scanning
Ok...
Here is the basic setup for windows setup scanning
WINDOWS 7 SMB SCAN SETUP
The setup above always works...
I was in a situation where windows 7 enterpise wouldn't scan...
so I decided to see if its a windows enterprise issue...
I installed a fresh installation of enterprise... and tried scanning... it worked perfect... no switching ports or anything... port 139 all the way...
some people said windows essentials can break it... I installed them and tried it... no problem... still scanned perfectly...
the only thing I can figure from the customer's site is that his windows 7 enterprise was
either
1. corrupted...
2. had a program running that was interfering
3. had some other unknown windows issue...
solutions...
1. if corrupted... reinstall
2. only programs that could interfere that was different from my setup is he had antivirus and a whole mess of remote programs running like "log me in and such..."
when antivirus or firewall or remote programs interfere... you can get some command prompt errors... or slowness my suggestion just disable them and/or turn them off...
3. there may be other unknown issues the link below should deal with that...

I am not familiar with windows enterprise but these are some of the processes I go through when I've encountered issues in the past on windows 7 32 and 64bit....
Configure the Firewall.
Control Panel > system and security > allow a program through windows firewall
Select file and printing sharing checkbox and 'ok'
back in the control panel > system security > select check firewall status
advanced settings
inbound rules
new rule
port > 'next'
TCP > specific local port '139' > 'next'
allow the connection > 'next'
make sure domain, private and public are ticked > 'next'
name (eg) "scan to SMB"
*Make sure the copier is using port 139*
I'd usually go about this by creating a shared folder on C: drive called "scans" once created there is usually a padlock that appears in windows 7 so you have to right click and go to the security tab.
Edit > ADD > Type word “EVE” > select check names > Select ‘EVERYONE’
Make sure Everyone is on the list now for people to share the folder with.
Select Permissions > Give full allowances apart from “special permissions”.
APPLY.
Padlock should now have disappeared.
make sure the username is correct.. in command prompt enter "net config workstation" it will tell you the username in there.
When entering SMB info into the machine I use the IP address of the destination workstation (obtained through command prompt "ipconfig")
so you should end up with something like this when entering the info into the copier...
Host Address: (users IP address)
Path : scans
User ID: (obtained earlier through "net config workstation")
Password: Ask end user to input the password used to login to their PC
After re-looking at the start of this thread I'm not sure this is now applicable but I typed it so I'm posting it! haha.Comment

on a couple we have had to go into top access on the Toshiba and turn off digital signing under SMB settings for both the client and the server then it worked like a champComment

Re: I can scan to smb on windows 7 but not on windows 7 entrprise
I had similar issues with Windows 7 Professional. Found a link on this site and changed the port SMB uses from 139 to 445. We had used port 139 up until last week and after a windows update / reboot. port 139 stopped working.
hope this helps.Comment

Re: I can scan to smb on windows 7 but not on windows 7 entrprise
Had posted this on another thread but here goes again:
Step one: Click the "Network Internet Access" icon at the bottom right of your screen, next to your clock, speaker icon, etc. Click open the "Network and Sharing Center."
Step two: Locate and click "Choose homegroup and sharing options." You are now on the "Change Homegroup settings" window. In this window, click "Leave the homegroup..." A warning will pop up. Go ahead and click "Leave the homegroup."
Step three: You are now presented with a page labeled "Share with other home computers running Windows 7." From here click the link "Change advanced sharing settings..."
Step four: You are now at the "Change sharing options for different network profiles" page. This is where you are going to do the "proper sharing". I'm going to go option by option. Most of these will probably already be configured correctly, but I'll tell you how they should be configured, nonetheless.
Network Discovery: turn on network discovery
File and printer sharing: turn on
Public folder sharing: Your choice. It can be on or off, irrelevant for SMB.
Media Streaming: By default, this is off. You can turn it on if you want, but it is not why we are here, so I'm going to leave it off for now.
Password protected sharing: Turn off password protected sharing
HomeGroup connections: This doesn't really matter, since you already left homegroup. However, I allow Windows to manage my homegroup connections. It seemed easier than arguing.
Step five: Click Save changes. Now close the window that says "Share with other home computers running Windows 7."
Step six: Navigate to a folder you want to share. I am navigating to D:\scan. First, left click on D:\scan (or whatever your folder is named) to make sure it is highlighted. Then, right click on the folder. Put your mouse over "Share with" and four options should pop up "Nobody, Homegroup (read), Homegroup (read/write), Specific people." You Click "Specific people..."
Step seven: You should now be on a dialog that is entitled "Choose people to share with." Your goal is to share the folder with "Everyone." On the dialog there should be a list of people. This list might include "Administrator," your username, "Guest," and "Everyone." It might only contain a subset of that group. If "everyone" is listed, simply click everyone, then click "Share." It MUST be Everyone and on the dropdown menu select Read/Write privileges
If Everyone is not listed, click the dropdown arrow next to the "Add" button. "Everyone" should be on the list there. Click it, then click Add. If "Everyone" isn't on the dropdown list, you should be able to type "Everyone" in and click Add.
Once all above is done, click "Share."
Usually part of the prob is with the homegroup... if one is created the comp will acept connections from any comp that is within that homegroup... tho the machine altho networked, its not really a computer and doesnt belong to any group or domain so to say, and thats why most of the times the connection is refused.
