DFS was configured and working fine on Server 2008 STD, but
now it's no longer replicating. Here are some of the errors I am seeing:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Due to the following error, the DFS Replication reporting mechanism cannot
access the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) namespace to retrieve
certain reporting information. Error ID: 0x80041002.
- DFS Replication cannot replicate
with partner <server name> for replication group <domain>\<name
space>\<share>. The partner did not recognize the connection or the
replication group configuration. The DFS Replication service used partner DNS
name <server name>, IP address <the server ip>, and WINS address<server name> but failed with error ID: 9026 (The connection is invalid).
Event ID: 5012
AND
- The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner <server
name> for replication group Domain System Volume due to an error. The
service will retry the connection periodically.
Additional Information:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have noticed that there is a disabled sysvol in the replication area
which belongs to an decommissioned server. Not sure if that would mess
anything up or not since it is disabled (and not needed), but I can't get rid
of it.

Deduplication setting on volume keeps reverting to 'Disabled'
Hi,
I have a 2012R2 Std server with 3 x Dedup volumes and one of them has reverted back to a Dedup setting of Disabled, twice now. This also clears all of the excluded folders in the dedup exclusion list.
Any ideas why this could be happening?

Offline Folder can not chaange the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase
Dear Expert,
we deploy the offline folder to end users, there is a strange issue happened now, if user tries to change the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase, the system will show "You need permission to perform this aciton". But other actions are fine, like, create, delete, rename, etc.

DFSR doesn't start replication
Hello. I've got some strange problem with DFSR. We have two servers with Windows 2012R2 and the disk about 12Tb for replication. About a week ago initial replication was working fine. But suddenly it stopped with event IDs 4010 and 2010. Reboot didn't help. I've tried to recreate the replication but the replication doesn't start at all. On the secondary member I see event 4102 that it is ready for initial replication but there is nothing on the primary member. In the debug log I see:
20140807 10:32:53.966 8700 SRTR 971 [WARN] SERVER_EstablishSession Failed to establish a replicated folder session. connId:{605DEC59-914E-4FE0-BE2F-4D7365187AC6} csId:{7191B1EC-050D-4DF7-97E3-EC35B5CD860D} Error:

DC source time is another DC instead of PDC
Hi,
I check the source time of 4-5 DC and maybe just synch with PDC. Must of them synch with other DC instead of PDC.
I check the registry setting of all and they have:NT5DS , only PDC have: NTP
Why is that? Resynch or restart Windows Times don't help. What is the reason or the process that push them to see another DC?

Problem with DFS when enumerating large folders
Hi,
In our organization we have DFS in place. We don't use DFS-r replication. The DFS roots are hosted on 3 2012R2 domain controllers and we have 2 domain based namespaces (windows 2000 mode). We have a lot of issues when users/applications/servers are trying to open folders with lots of files in them (typically 10000+). When this happens DFS hangs organization wide. This causes a lot of problems for back-end applications which are constantly moving around files to different front-end systems. Most of them get exceptions resulting in a manual restart. Since our organization is running 24/24, 7/7, this is very ennoying. Especially for engineers who have to get up at night to restart those services.
All user folders/mapped network disks are using DFS to access the file server. We have more then 2000 employees accessing a DFS namespace. At the time the issue occurs, they also experience problems accessing their data.
When the issues occur, we have no problems accessing the targets themselves, so we can exclude file server issues. We use a third party appliance as DNS server, but this also works as should at the time the issue occurs. The only way to resolve our issue that we have found so far is to clean out those folders, or when that's not possible, exlude them from the DFS namespace.
We thought upgrading our DC's from 2003 to 2012R2 would resolve the issue but that didn't do it. Is this a known issue and is there another workaround/fix? Also, is there a way to find out which target caused DFS to hang? We have already done a lot of troubleshooting with articles we found on the net but nothing seems to be wrong with our DFS setup/AD/DNS. We also opened serveral cases with MSFT but after the network trace analysis they always conclude there's nothing wrong.
Thanks in advance!

File Server Resource Manager - create a customized File Management Task
Hello everybody!
I have experienced some troubles with the FSRM and customizing File Management Tasks under Windows Server 2012. I hope someone could assist me in this matter.
I found this Technet blog some time ago and my actions were based on it:http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/05/11/customizing-file-management-tasks.aspx
However, it doesn't want to work out quite how i want yet.
I would like to explain my situation first. We would like to archive our File Server, every file that hasn't been accessed for over 4 years should be moved to a different location. The folder structure as well as the permissions should be kept like they were on the file server (the only exception would be that write right on those files would/should be removed, because we don't want people to edit or delete archived files). We realized that this is not quite realizable with a normal file management task (with choosing "file expiration" in the action drop down). That's why we decided to make a script by ourselves and choose "customize" in the action drop down of the file management task in FSRM.
The problem we do have now is that the script doesn't get executed, we basically did the same thing like we were told to in that Technet blog without any success.
First of all we created an easy script in order to make sure our customized file management task works like it should. For that we just wanted to create a log file with the Source File Path of the work-related file, which is about to get archived in the task. The "%1" stands for the parameter [Source File Path]. The script looks like that:
echo %1 > C:\Users\Username\Desktop\log.txt
exit
I have attached a screenshot of the customized file management task as well:
Okay so far so good. If I run the file management task now, it somehow ends up in an endless loop, it doesn't do anything and it doesn't finish either. FSRM created a log file though. If I look at it I can see that every single file that matched the condition of last accessed 4 years ago, ended up in an error:
"Unable to run command: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\Windows\System32\test.cmd [Source File Path]. 0x80045367, the file management action command timed out."
I have tried several ways of customizing the task already (absolute path, no absolute path, script file endings cmd or bat) nothing changed the result... Furthermore the script i am providing to test this customized task is fairly easy and working. So my assumption is that FSRM doesn't even execute the script?
I don't know where the error could be and i would really appreciate your help in form of troubleshooting or other suggestions/solutions how to achieve our goal.
Thank you!

Doesn't namespace service=namespace server?
I'm confused by something. This is Server 2008 R2. I was of the understanding that a DC that ran the DFS Namespace service was considered a Namespace Server.
I just went into DFS Mgt and noted the namespace servers for our 2 namespaces. I was then looking at a DC that was not in that list, and it is running the DFS Namespace service (the services is started).
Isn't a DC that runs the DFS Namespace service considered a Namespace server, in a domain-based namespace?
If it is running that service, what is a possible reason(s) that it is not in the list of namespace servers in DFS management?

ICACLS Syntax issues with backup / restore
I am doing some testing with Windows Server 2008 R2 with NTFS permissions. I have a d: (multiple folders and sub-folders) drive with an existing ntfs permissions. I want to make a backup of the settings using icacls so I can restore when needed.
So, here is what I am doing and the issue:
1. Open an elevated cmd prompt.
2. Run "icacls d:\ /save ntfsDdrive.txt /t /c" without the quotes. No issues.
3. Run "icacls d:\ /restore ntfsDdrive.txt" without the quotes and I get the following:

FSRM Quota Management
I have a question about Quota Management.
I had everything setup correct with Quota Management for user home folder storage limitation, and it worked fine w/o problems. However, recently I noticed that not all of user folders show up under the Quota Management. I setup around 10 different limitation group for around 9000 people. Now it only show up around 300 users.
Does anyone know where I can find log or something else to tell me what went wrong? It is kind of became problem when I need to increase user storage size as they are not showing up under Quota Management. Please help!!!

DFSR detects dirty shutdown on reboot
Hi all,
I have a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server running DFSR. It is up to date, all hotfixes have been installed, there is no antivirus running on it, and I've tweaked WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 600000. When I do a soft reboot or soft shutdown, when the server comes back up it gives -
"The DFS Replication service has detected an unexpected shutdown on volume F:. This can occur if the service terminated abnormally (due to a power loss, for example) or an error occurred on the volume. The service has automatically initiated a recovery process. The service will rebuild the database if it determines it cannot reliably recover. No user action is required. "
This is happening every time I reboot. Fortunately this server isn't in full production yet, but this issue will need to be resolved before I can put it in production. Does anybody have any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Does DFS Use A Lot Of Resources?
Hello,
I have set up a test environment in which I have a single server with 4gb RAM currently running Active Directory Domain Services with only 2 clients and it runs fine (only using 990MB). I am intending to install SQL Server on it and limit it to 2gb ram. As well as these, I would very much like a domain-based DFS Namespace (I am not bothered about file replication) but will all three roles be able to run efficiently with only two clients? I don't want it to be really laggy taking ages to process logon requests and SQL queries etc. I would rather have SQL and AD run fine than have a DFS as well and have them really slow.

Scale-Out File Server Interleave Size
I have a Hyper-V host machine connected to a two-node Scale-Out File Server.
I'm playing around with the Interleave size when creating the Storage Spaces. Any suggestions for Interleave sizes? I know the default is 256KB, but I'm wondering if increasing the interleave size (and thus the stripe size) would improve performance for Hyper-V VM performance, especially write performance. With many of our file servers running as VMs, I'm focused on getting the best file transfer performance as possible from a client to a file server VM.
Thanks.

Write-Back Cache in Scale-Out File Server
My test environment setup consists of one Hyper-V server and a two-node Scale-Out File Server. All have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed with the latest updates as of today.
My question is about Server 2012 R2's Write-Back Cache configured on disks created on the SOFS. Is there any way to monitor the Write-Back Cache? Or put another way, how can I tell how effective the current size (i.e. 5 GB) of the Write-Back Cache is? How can I tell if I need more cache or that less could be used?
I'm thinking my Write-Back Cache for a virtual disk on my SOFS quickly becomes full, which is causing the file copy process (to a VM's VHDX running on that virtual disk) to look like hills and valleys--bursts of fast copy speeds interspaced with bursts of slow copy speeds.
Thanks!

SMB 3 Encryption and only x86 32 Windows 8.1U1
Has anyone else used the 32 bit x86 Windows 8.1U1 to map to a Windows 2012 R2 withSet-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $True and Set-SmbServerConfiguration –RejectUnencryptedAccess $False ?
I have full success with 64 bit X64 Windows 8.1U1 client. No problems.
As soon as I try NET USE X: \\SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.EXT\SHARENAME the 32 bit client hangs for many minutes before finally mapping the drive. Any attempt to access the share hangs Explorer or the computer for many more minutes. So slow it is almost impossible to use the machine.
If I set on the server:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $False
The NET USE works fast and access is fast.
Or, if I turn off SMB2/3 on client, NET USE works fast and access is fast, like this:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
This is on a freshly installed 8.1U1, no GP, no apps or fully configured with apps and GP. Every 32 bit OS machine, including varied Sony and Dell hardware, VM's on HyperV Server, etc. Behaves the same against several 2012 and 2012 R2 servers, although they are all similar in setup.
Thanks!

Right now i m trying configure FSRM's notafications on 2012 server and when i send a test message there i got error :
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
I have already installed IIS 8.0 and SMTP server and i have read from others articles that i should active a relay option on virtual SMTP - but in this version i simple cant find it - there is only " SMTP feature " that i can only configure e-mail adress. What should i really configure to be able to send notafication by e-mail from this server ?
Thx for help .
