How to convert ReFS disk to NTFS?

$
0
0

When I created my file server, apperantly I have created ReFS instead of NTFS. Which is bad for my DFS replication. As you all know for sure, I cannot create replication between these machines because the replication can occur only on NTFS. I tried to search the forum but no joy for me. I accept any kind of ideas.

Best Regards!


Replace Dead Raid-5 Disk

$

0

Good day everyone,

a drive in my Raid-5 array has bitten the dust. I use Microsoft Software Raid-5 (Windows Server 2008 R2), and now that I have returned the dead drive and procured a new one, I need to know how to add it into my array. In disk management, I see a "Missing Disk" row at the bottom of the table of drives. When I right-click on my volume, "Repair Volume" is grayed out.

 

My question to the fine professionals here on this forum, is how the heck do I turn my RAID back on? I tip my hat to the gentleman whom may solve this problem.

 

 

Thank you very much!

Is Shadow copies and DFSR working good together?

$
0
0

Hi!

I wondering about DFS-R and Volume Shadow copies. I have DFS-R folders to multiple different remote locations that all users access through a DFS-namespace. Will DFSR and VSC work together?

Some thoughts:

  • Is not DFS-R files a located in X:\System Volume Information? Will that cause problems?
  • The staging folder of DFSR is constantly changing so won't it cause VSC to constantly create and delete snapshots ?

Any thoughts? Anyone uses this design today?

Thanks!

FSR to DSFR

If I migrate my parent domain to DSFR, how then does the parent domain DC's replicate to the child domain DC's still using FSR? I understand it is a per domain setting, but how do they domain talk to each replication wise when one domain is FRS and one is DFSR?

Set approved/secure file type for anonymous users?

Windows 2008r2, IE9

I'm working on a farm that has 100+ anonymous users per node. Currently, when a user attempts to open a .pdf, they get a popup asking if they want to save or open a file. My client insists that this be turned off and set to "Open" by default. Attached screen grab.

Researching this issue, I found that setting the following registry key would fix this for explicit users:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046

AcroPDF.PDF

AcroPDF.PDF.1

I used a logon script to force these keys. Supposedly it only works for IE8 but on IE9 it works just as well. But only for explicit users.

Anonymous users still receive the attached screen grab. Do anonymous sessions in windows not get registry access? Is there another way to set .pdf files to open without the security pop-up?Open or Save

Event ID 55 - File system structure is corrupt and unusable

$

Hi,

We have started recieving this error on one of our Windows Server 2008 Std 64bit servers. The primary role of this server is File Services which hosts a 1TB data volume (RDM) that we replicate between 2 other sites using DFSR.

This server is a VM hosted on EXSi4.1, the storage is a fiber attached HP EVA presented through the ESXi.

We are receiving the error message up to 100 timer per hour for this volume, I assume because DFSR is trying to write replicated files to the volume.

We have tried booting to recovery console and running chkdsk /R on the volume, but chkdsk does not detect any errors/bad sectors on the volume.

Have checked thing on the EX and storage side of things, eg; no disk errors reported on the EVA, LUN is only presented to this host. The only errors I see anywhere is the Event ID 55.

The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume E:.

WorkFolders Windows 10

Hello,

I´m currently testing out WorkFolders for Windows 10(Official release) but I´m unable to get this working.
There is no problem with Windows 8.1

Error message: (Sync Stopped. Can´t encrypt files) To continue synchronising,close any open Files or application...

Work Folders detected a sync error. Check partnership status, network connectivity, and disk space. EventID 9002

Sync failed. Work Folders path: C:\Users\MYUSER\Work Folders; Error: (0x80c80314) The Work Folders path has to be encrypted. You might have an application holding the Work Folders folder open or the folder might be compressed. Close File Explorer and any open files or apps, and check the folder's Advanced properties to ensure that the folder is not compressed. EventID 2100

Client is running with Windows Defender(SCEP) and I cant see any application that would cause this issue.

How can I pinpoint this problem and is there someone that have had the same issue?


Is it sensible to use shadow copies (previous versions) with DFSR?

$
0
0

I have a 2012r2 server at the centre of a hub and spoke DFSR with 6 other servers.

I am considering implementing shadow copies to enable "previous versions" every couple of hours.

However there is clearly some degree of disk churn with the DFS, e.g the cacheing & confilct and deleted folders in the DFSR sub folders.

Is there any reason I shouldn't use shadow copies with DFSR?

DFS replication not working

Hello, I have a Windows 2008 R2 server in a DFS replication group with a Windows 2008 32bit server. replication has worked in the past but now its not replicating. There are no errors in any of the logs, when I run a diag it doesn't show any issues. It just wont replicate. Any ideas on what I could do? 

I don't want to recreate the repl group as I'm not sure what's that's going to do with all the data that has not yet replicated.

2012 R2 Storage Spaces - Split a mirrored virtual disk and keep data

$

Hi

I have a storage pool containing 2x physical disks. I have created a mirrored virtual disk on top of those physical disks, occupying all the space.

I would like to split this pool/mirror back into 2 separate disks, but retain the data. So basically end up with 2 separate disks each containing a copy of the data.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Special Permissions on Subfolders and Files

$
0
0

So, we're a bit stumped on something.  We have a fileserver on 2012R2 and a 2008 AD.  We have users who map to a home network drive.  We set the users up the same way every time.  Sharing is Everyone - Full Control, but then it's locked down by security.  We make the folder, then use the server manager to share it.  (That is if it's a new user, if it's a re-used folder we just change the permission.)

Users have modify rights to their home folder and any sub folders and files.  System, domain admins and local admin group have full control.  Usually the owner is the local admin group.

We've got one user who is having an issue creating new folders or saving to those folders.  Says access denied.  We blew out the folder, recreated it, then shared it.  It still marks any folder any user creates as having Special Permissions and then doesn't allow them to save things to it.  We gave the user Ownership and it still won't allow anything.  We almost have to break the inheritance to get it to work.

What's different on this user?  Are we missing something in their user attributes maybe?

Many events for ID 14554 appearing in System event log

$
0
0

I have two 2008 R2 domain controllers and one new 2012 R2 server I just promoted to DC a few days ago. One of the 2K8R2 servers holds all the FSMO roles.   The new 2K12R2 DC is also an additional namespace server for domain-based namespace.  The DFS seems to be working fine, but about every 20 minutes the following 14554 event for 'DfsSvr' is logged:

The DFS Namespaces service has successfully initialized the shared folder that hosts the namespace root. Shared folder: ourDFSnamespace

This event does not appear on either of the two 2K8R2 DCs.

DFS Replication

$
0
0

Both Servers are 2008 R2.  Server A is a file server, Server B is a File Server + DC. I have verified that AD replication is flowing with our errors between the two sites.

I have been having some issue with Files not being copied over form Server A to Server B.  Server B changes seem to make it over to Server A.

Looking at the backlog status I see this:

PS C:\> .\Get-DFSRBacklog.ps1 | sort-object BacklogStatus | format-table -groupby BacklogStatus


   BacklogStatus: Error

ReplicationGroupName    ReplicatedFolderName    SendingMember           ReceivingMember                    BacklogCount           FolderEnabled       ConnectionEnabled                 Inbound BacklogStatus         
--------------------    --------------------    -------------           ---------------                    ------------           -------------       -----------------                 ------- -------------         
DFS SDEV                    LOCALHOST               ServerA$                              698986                    True                    True                   False Error                  
DFS SDEV                    ServerA              LOCALHOST$                               719257                    True                    True                    True Error                  

I see here that in the Inbound section it has False\True (This implies that maybe we are not making a two way replication link)

In the DFS Event log I find this on Server B

The DFS Replication service successfully established an inbound connection with partner Server A for replication group SDEV.
 
Additional Information:
Connection Address Used: Server A
Connection ID: 6975046B-2242-4AD4-AA8B-B1DBC50F26BA
Replication Group ID: 269396D9-52A4-4F4E-8311-69C616851638

But I do not see a corresponding event log on Server A

Is there supposed to be a corresponding message on A?  I have started and stopped the services and rebooted the servers.

Another odd thing I see is that Server B does this

The DFS Replication service successfully set up an RPC listener for incoming replication requests.
 
Additional Information:
Port: 5722

and Server A does this

The DFS Replication service successfully set up an RPC listener for incoming replication requests.
 
Additional Information:
Port: 0

I tried to set Server A to a static Address but that seemed to cause some issues.

Folder Redirection Rebuild

$
0
0

I have no been able to find much online about this issue so I decided to ask it here.

I have a client that has folder redirection set up but the previous IT guy set it up very poorly and we are now running into issues. I would like to know if there is a specific way we need to rebuild the service and what the best way will be. To my understanding there is an option once you first set it up that if it is terminated the files will either stay on the server to push to the client computer that they log into next. After we figure this out, how can we terminate folder redirection and rebuild it the right way after?

We are using Small Business Server 2008

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I deployed Work folders in Windows 2012 R2,  push the Work folder URL by Group policy and do not want any user interacts, but the Work folder will  go to %userprofile%\Work Folders , I would like to change to another location, like c:\work folders , is there any way to do that?  the whole process will be automatically and controlled.

Thanks in advance!
