fulltext file search (indexing) namespaces (DFS)

$
0
0

Hi,

years ago we setup a file server with fulltext indexing for PDF, Office and TIF files. This works pretty fine.

Now we pointed this server with his old share into our new DFS (namespaces) structure. When we now try to search from the namespaces mapping we only find matching file names but the full text search does not work.

Is there any way to get this running?

Access Permission on shared folder and different permission on it's sub/child folder

$
0
0

Hello,

I am new to forum . Hope i can explain the case .

We are using Windows 2012 r2 standard server to provide Shared folder services using Active directory  in our organization.

We have an existing  shared folder with Read/Write permission.

Lets assume the name of shared folder  as "FOLDER"

The access permissions are as follows

User A : Only Read access

User B : R/W Access

User C : R/W Access.

There are following  sub folder and files under this  "FOLDER" and they have same access permission as parent folder.

1 : BM (Folder  (A has Read access; B has R/W access; C has R/w Access)

2: CM (Folder) ( A has Read access; B has R/W access,; C has R/w Access)

3. File.txt (A has REad access; B has R/W access and C has R/w access)

Now the user has requested the following changes to these sub Folder and file .

1: BM ( A has Read access; B has R/W access; C has no access)

2: CM ( A has Read access; C has R/W access;  B has no access)

3. File.txt ( A has Read access; B has R/W access; C has no access)

What is the best way forward to make the changes on existing folder ?

Thanks

Hi I have a Windows 2012 R2 and have FSRM installed, I'm trying to create a file screen template however I get an error message which states "An unexpected error has occurred.

Hi,


We used this doc to deploy a webdav service :


https://forum.odrive.com/t/how-do-i-setup-a-webdav-server-on-windows-and-link-it-to-odrive/1550/2


but whatever we tried, we got a "403 Forbidden: Access is denied
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied"

Authenticated user has all rights on the folder, we tried to add ropghts for IIS_IUSRS too.

What could be wrong ?

What logs files could we read ?

Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

$
0
0

I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.

Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
 Administrative Tools
 Server Manager
 Features
 Group Policy Manager
 Forest: ...
 Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
 Policies
 Windows Settings
 Security Settings
 Local Policies
 Security Options
 Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
 - Define This Policy
 - Disabled

However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.

Are there any other things I have missed?

Server Partitions

Hello,

I need Some advices on mounting a new Physical server to replace old one.

The old server (Windows 2008R2) was connected to a SAN and provided with 8 disks (Partitions) == has networked storage

Our project is to transfer/migrate the old server to the new one, but the new server is a standalone server (Local storage).

The new server has 6 disks with 350Go.

What I'm looking for is to configure the server with RAID5 and I will be able to create the 8 partitions.

Thank you for your help

Unable to change/add/delete File Permission

Hi guys,

 

Consider the following :-

\\server1\site\divisionfolder\teamfolder1

 

I've given the "Full" privilege to one of my users to "userfolder1" folder that resides on a W2K3 machine so that they can assign the rights to their subordinates on their own.

Still, that user can't modify the folder permissions for other users. (Add/Delete button was grayed out)

 

 

Any idea what I've missed out?

All the disks are in MBR format

One of the disk needs to be extended beyond 2 TB

I have heard gptgen , but not sure how reliable is it, also how can we use diskpart in this case

I want to retain data and convert into GPT if possible

S2D "Majority Disks unhealthy" with all Physical Disks OK/Healthy

Hi! Some kind of strange behavior occurred while using our 4-nodes S2D cluster.  After some connectivity problems (nic teaming bug or, maybe, something else) cluster shutted down, storage pool became "Unhealthy", Operational status "Read only", Reason - "Majority Disks unhealthy" with all Physical Disks "OK" and "Healthy" status. Storage Enclosures and Storage Subsystem are Healthy as well. December commulative update was installed, servers rebooted many times, Cluster and pool were shutted down and brought up again - all with no luck. Logs:

Work Folders - recent security updates leave it broken

$
0
0

We have a small Work Folders implementation for a few clients.

Until recently, the function has been working great, no problems.

However, we have confirmed that two recent Windows10 patches leave Work Folders broken and completely unusable for clients who have either of the patches installed.

KB3185614 (security rollup for Win10 build 1511)

KB3189866 (security rollup for Win10 build 1607)

If a Win10 client has either of these updates applied, they cannot use Work Folders.  The client attempts to connect to the Work Folders Server and gets the error:

"there was a problem finding your Work Folders server", error code 0x80072f76.

Work Folders server is fully patched.

Removing the patch will allow the client to connect and use Work Folders successfully, but as we know Windows10 will just reinstall that patch again in a few days.  We are using the Microsoft "driver update" prevention tool for now to block the patch on affected machines.

We are opening a support case with Microsoft soon.


Windows 2008 R2 Client for NFS mount fails using AD

$
0

Hi,

I have a Windows 2008 R2 AD and client system. As far as I know, I know very little about Windows, I've set up everything correctly. When I log in to the client with my AD credentials I don't have any issues. But I'm trying to access and NFS export from a Linux system that is using the same AD server to authenticate users to access that export. I can mount the export just fine from a Linux system but when I try to mount it on the Windows 2008 R2 client I always get: Permission denied. I looked at a network trace and it appears to be failing doing a GETATTR right after the mount succeeds. The reply to the GETATTR says: denied and the guy looking at the error on the Linux system is saying that the GSS context for the GETATTR is empty. 

How would I troubleshoot this issue? The documentation on using "Client for NFS" with AD is either non-existent or I just can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

Rob

storage spaces direct on top of a storage space direct hyper-v hyper-converged recommendations.

I'm looking to implement storage spaces direct to make some of our services highly available.

I'm curious about a few things.

1.) if we do storage spaces direct on the physical hardware then create vm's ontop of the storage pools and then enable storage spaces direct inside the vm's across the 4 volumes what type of performance decreases could one expect? 

2.) is this a viable option?

3.) are their any know iis issues with saving data on top of csvfs and storage spaces direct?

4.) same question but for sql.

5.) what would be recommended practices to accomplish something along these lines?

Cannot see other other disks in storage spaces,

$

Hi,

Setup is a little complicated, probably not supported, but I will see if there is a simple solution.

I am trying to setup a storage space on windows server 2016, it is a virtual machine, the SCSI adapter has been passed through, there are 3 disks for now with more to be added once this works... Now, the driver works, everything is registered, it is an LSI HBA.

When I get the physical disk attributes, each one has a unique id.

All 3 disks are shown in the disks section.

Only 1 disk is presented in the physical disk (primordial pool), there should be 3, I reset, converted, cleaned each disk. Why are they not being presented?

EDIT: Needed to Restart! How silly. Everything working decently. Performance, very nice. Will begin adding and testing.

User logs into PC, opens up a Excel file on a network drive, message appears saying " The documents is locked for editing by [current user]" and gives options of Open read only and cancel. 

Log onto WS2012R2 - Computer management - shared folders - open files, there is no open sessions with this user for this excel file.

Also;

Rebooted/re-logged the user PC (user don't use any other PC) 

Tired renaming the file - but its locked for editing

Can copy it but that is it

If you open the excel as read only that appears in the open files and you can close it but makes no differences. 

Am i missing something ?

Hi,

I'm trying to get Work folders running in a small domain, however I'm stuck. 

I'm getting error 0x80c80003 on the client (Windows 10 Pro). No files have been created in the Work folders folder. 

Please advise on how to debug this problem. I haven't even found a way to turn on detailed logging on the server. 

Best
