Ive found out whats wrong.
If i mount the alfresco CIFS folder as an net drive (Windows 2000) the checkout/checkin did not work. But when i mount the folder dirctly with the path (\\<Computer>_A\Alfresco\…) then all works fine.

This seems to be a bug?!

I've duplicated this issue here as well (Alfresco Enterprise 2.1 using CIFS, NTLM single sign on etc).

When an Alfresco directory is a mapped network drive, the various actions (checkin/out, details) all fail, but it works flawlessly when browsing directly to the share.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.
It does appear to work if you browse using UNC instead of a mapped-drive.

I'm using Alfresco Enterprise 2.1, default install. The CIFS client (MS Windows Explorer) is a on a standalone laptop, whilst the server is running on a VM on that same laptop.

Did you log this defect into JIRA? I couldn't find a reference to it…

Client OS: MS Windows XP sp2.
I guess you're having problems reproducing the error.

Same problem here.

Alfresco installed on Debian, Windows XP and Windows vista clients can use checkinout.exe only if they use the unc path, not on a mapped drive.

Update:

When you mount the cifs root folder "alfresco" as drive. Then it is possible. Not if you mount a subfolder. You get "no such parameter for action" and can't use the checkinout.exe.

Hmmm…

It looks like this issue:
__ShowDetails.exe/__CheckInOut.exe fails if mapping network drive to a space:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-1454

It's marked as 'resolved', but the fixed-version isn't indicated.

Which version are you guys using 2.1.0 commuinity or 2.1.1 enterprise?

I've also come across this problem today. We're using 2.1.1. Enterprise version

I have still the same problem with the Alfresco 3 Labs version. When I put a file on "__AlfrescoCheckInOut.exe" I have the message "No parameters for action".
