Hi, I created a directory junction with command "mklink /J" on windows server 2008 R2.
But the folder has shortcut icon which can be seen by windows 7 client, we don't want to let them see it.
So, is there anyway to remove this shortcut icon ? just make it looks normal with other folders.
thanks.
Hi all,
Having an issue getting Work Folders configured properly to allow access for iPads and Android devices.
I can add Work Folders from Windows 10 machines, both on and off domain, without issue. If I use a mobile device, all I can get is 'Check your user name and password'.
I checked event viewer this morning and noticed this under Microsoft / Windows / SyncShare / Operational.
"There was a problem retrieving a user attribute from Active Directory Domain Services. This can occur if this server could not reach a domain controller or if the attribute has not been set.After a bit of searching, I followed the instructions here: A New User Attribute for Work Folders Server
Since then, I don't see anything relevant in those logs.
Is there somewhere else I should be looking for the reason this is failing? I cant seem to find any other logs or events which would explain this issue, but the fact that it is giving credential errors suggests that it has discovered the server and is talking to it well enough to get an authentication error.
Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated. I'm running out of things to check.
Hi
we are new to the work folders concept and we tried to configure it on a new environment composing of a windows server 2012 r2 AD and File server.
we configure the File server with the work folder feature including the security groups on AD.
Our aim is to configure Work Folder on our domain-joined laptops and pc.
As I understood the file server will become the Sync Server, so logically the path shall behttp://FQDN of the file server.
we also run the following on our test clients to enable them to have the possibility to connect to Http:
" Reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WorkFolders /v AllowUnsecureConnection /t REG_DWORD /d 1 "
Even after that we forced the setup via GPO but we are prompted "To Sign in to your PC again..." but this message comes back but not the work folder.
As per Event viewer:
Sync Share discovery failed. Server URL: http://"FQDN"; Partnership type: User Data; Error: (0x80c80301) No sync server could be found for the user.
We do not want to set up any certificate server. it may look straight forward on any website but when setting up its not the same.
Can anyone please help.

Hi,
I am running Windows Server 2012 R2.
I had a 6 x 3TB Storage Space (Party, Thin) which had one of the drives beginning to throw bad sectors. Everything was showing healthy, but I could see a pending failure and I wanted to be proactive.
I conducted the following steps:
Issue I am facing:
When I try and remove the drive, I'm given two warning screens:
[CLICK YES]
[CLICK OK]
Where I'm stuck:
I have spent 2 days reading every forum post and how-to guide I can find... but I'm at a loss for how to proceed now.
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated,
Gavin
We have a user where work folders works fine on his old laptop, and we are transitioning him to a new surface pro 4. Log files are available.

His share premissions are the same as everyone else, so no security issues. We tried:
resetting his AD password
Enabling and disabling his account
pushing GPO on and off
renaming his share
rebooting/shutting down numerous times
Ensuring all WSUS updates.
restarting services on his client, rebooting server and checking services on ours
checking certificate (good) and other users don't report issues.
I need help, as we cannot get him on.
Hello, I have two sites connected through an ipsec vpn via 2 Zywall routers.
The problem is that users experience slow file browsing in both directions.
I have tested the following between computers in the same site or different sites:
Does anyone have a clue on what could be the problem?
Thanks!
Hi... I can't figure this out.
We have a windows 2012 storage server running on our Dell NX/MD device.
There is an SMB share that is also an NFS export. I have left things about as wide open as possible as we don't really have security issues or need to lock this share/export down, just for exchange of data.
The problem is that when a user creates a file under the NFS mount, under Unix, he is then unable to access or modify it under the Windows Share. When I look at the security tab on the server, it says all users have full control, but the user still can't access the new directory or the files... even though NTFS and share permissions are everyone full control and on the share read/write. If I go to advanced on the directory and do a replace permissions on all child objects, then users can access via the windows share... it looks exactly the same as it did before though.
I have been reading about NFS using an Active Directory mapping - but it sounds like this needs an AD schema change and this is a big company and the chances of getting them to change extend the schema are nil. We were using anonymous, not sure if that would have worked, but one of our Unix gurus change the it to a specific GID I think... anyway, it's almost working but not quite - just wondering if there might be a simple answer to this if we are not concerned with security.
thanks

while deleting a file, sometimes 4663 and 4660 is logging before its corresponding 4656(based on process id,handle id). This happens occasionally and the order of these events is also not constant all the time i.e, one time the order of events was 4660,4663,4656
another time the order was like 4663,4656,4660. |
can someone please explain me about this behaviour.
Hello,
We have an internal certificate authority server (Active Directory Integrated). We have a designated recovery agent for encrypted files. Recently one of our VM servers had a problem. This server has a .vmdk (VMWare disk) which has encrypted files on it. This .vmdk was mounted on anther VM in order to get the file system up and running quickly. However, access to the encrypted files was lost. I imported the recovery certificate (We keep it on a CD in a vault) to a domain admin (personal store) on the server that has the .vmdk mounted. however, I still receive access denied. When looking at the properties > Advanced > encryption details of the files it correctly lists the recovery agent and the thumbprint of the recovery certificate which matches the thumbprint of the certificate I imported. Why am I still be denied access? and how can I get access back to these files?
Thanks

We've turned on data deduplication on Server 2012 about two weeks ago. Since then, users are coming across corrupt files that cannot be accessed. At this time I was able to look in Event Viewer at exactly which files were corrupted. About 4 days ago, I found some instructions on "Unoptimization" using powershell command: start-dedupjob -Volume <VolumeLetter> -Type Unoptimization. I waited until after-hours and ran the unoptimization process overnight. When the unoptimization finished, I rebooted the server. I could see the volume size grow but Server Manager still lists the Deduplication Rate at 21% and lists the Deduplication Savings. Today, Monday, users are still reporting corrupt files again.
What do I need to do to get the volume unoptimized? Do I need to completely uninstall the role? Deduplication is disabled. If I attempt to run the optimization command again, it fails immediately. I cannot find any new info in Event Viewer, nothing relating to specifics of the unoptimization or why it fails if I attempt to run it now.
Hi,
I'm testing File Classification for user files on windows 2012R1. The performance is very poor, taking up to 6 minutes to process a fodler with one document with one line in it. That is just with one rule with one regular expression. Also sometimes when the rule starts, it stays queued for a long time. There are file screening tasks running also, but the server has plenty of resources. Is it possible to improve the performance and see at a debug level what is happening?. Get-FsrmClassification just shows the status as queued or running. The Server is part of a failover cluster.
thanks

we have a hyper-v 2012 r2 cluster running on a raid volume comprised of 12 4tb sas disks. our controller cannot do pass-through so disks will always show as RAID. we are looking to move to 2016 as soon as its available(on mission-critical VM's)
my question is in 2016 can we add SSD's as a caching tier for this array. basically, create a raid 0 with some SSD's as an upper tier for the Spinning rust underneath. storage speed is fine (nearing 3000Mbps) but Iops are horrible and with enough disk activity from the VM's the whole thing slows to a crawl. hoping adding a SSD tier could help the IOPS situation.
the other thing we have looked at is adding storage spaces direct. we have plenty of 15K sasdrives laying around and each node can take 8 but again with the dell perc 700 we can't do passthrough so storage spaces direct won't let us use the disks as they show as raid even when they are single disks. we would love to fill each node with SSD's and use storage spaces direct but it seems we are blocked from doing this.
eventually, we will be adding an NVME storage server for OS drives and use the other storage server for bulk cold storage. all networking is dual 40Gbe so network speed is not a problem.
With the past OS's I was able to clear the DFS cache using the DFSUTIL.EXE from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. This same .exe will not work for Windows 7. I can clear the DFS cache on a machine but I must do the following before I do that:
After doing this I am able to clear the DFS Cache. Is there not a way I clear the DFS cache without doing all of this? If I copy out the DFSUTIL.exe to another machine it will not work.
Hi,
I am using Storage spaces for file server using below configuration:
4 TB HDD---2 Nos ---with Mirror
1 TB SSD-2 Nos--with Mirror
File System is: ReFs
Provisioning is: Fixed
Now file server Disk Usage=2.6 TB in 4.57
Server OS: Windows server 2012 R2
Now i am getting slow speed due to usage of HDD and want to move my all data only in SSD.
For the same i want to use 4 New 1 TB SSD with Mirror instead of 4 TB 2 Nos. of HDD. so that i can get 3 TB Space on SSD.
Pl. suggest how can i rebuilt storage spaces without creating new storage spaces and backup/restore.
Thanking u

Recently i´ve migrated an old fileserver to a new one, like several other previous migrations, all of then using robocopy with parameters /sec and /secfix (not copyall)
ArcServe stopped finishing backups (firts time i see this in more than 15 years) with error 87 Parameter is incorrect, wich indicates that this is the error from Windows being passed directlry to Arcserve in its error message
The error only occurs on volumes robocopied, not in the native file system
The following article shows the most accurate description of the problem and looks like fits perfeclty in my case...
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2459083
but..
how to solve the problem?
i´ll have to re-apply, for instance, all owners again?
"...
On the CIFS file server, use the appropriate tools to correct the security information for affected files, and ensure that all affected files have both an Owner SID and a Primary Group SID.
..."
I´ve tried two procedures:
1) reset all permissions from root folder, forcing the appropriate permissions again, trying to "refresh" permissions
2) reset all owner on all files in the folder
3) Duplicated an existing folder, creating a new tree of files, deleting the original and renaming the new/duplicated folder with the original name
nothing...ArcServe error is still:
Failed to read data from file: SAS_0307_Rev.0_11-21-2011_Reply.pdf RC=87, The parameter is incorrect.
WIndows explorer and end users are able to use the files with no problem
An example, no "users" because is a a folder whom "SERVER\Users" can´t have permissions

/control=0xc00 SE_DACL_AUTO_INHERITED-0x0400 SE_SACL_AUTO_INHERITED-0x0800I have thousands of files on long paths
i´ve tried to delete using forfiles and powershell
get-childitem -include thumbs.db -recurse | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname}
error:
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
PathTooLongException
how can i delete all files, even with long paths?
Which permission is needed to set in file server for user's to shouldn't create new files in a folder, but he can edit and save the entries in old files.
