------ HELP - HELP - HELP ------- User can't access shared files ------ EMERGENCY

Hello Everyone,

This is very URGENT, please HELP when you read this message.

I had 3 Domain Controller: 2012 Primary, 2012 Secondary, 2003 secondary 

The 2003 DC is also a file sharing server.

During the rename process, for some reason,  I "Deleted" 2003 DC  out of DC roles.

After the migration completed, all servers/workstation are able to see and login to new Domain Name.  The only server that NOT login to new domain name is 2003 DC/FILEsharing

As of now, the old 2003DC/Filesharing still has permission set from old domain name which is "MAF1"



The problems I had now is some users start loosing the access permission to the file sharing.

How do I connect this old DC/Filesharing to new Domain name with all the share permission from new domain.

Please help as I need to fix this ASAP.

Thanks inadvance

Storage Spaces Direct - unable to configure Journal (cache) drives

I try to configure Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on Dell R730xd, 3-node cluster. Each server has 2xSSD and 4xSATA drives dedicated to S2D pool. I have a simpble pass-through HBA controller, Dell HBA330, recomented by Dell for S2D solutions.

The problem is I cannot set the SSD drives as cache (Journal) drives.

Cluster validation for S2D is successfull.

Manually setting SSD drives as Journal has no effect.

Do you have any suggestions?

DFS Guide - Existing Shares

I want to setup DFS replication for our DR site.  We have a 2012 Server at our main site, and a 2012 R2 Server at the DR site.

I'm finding all kinds of guides on setting up DFS from scratch, but not many dealing with existing shares.

We want to start replication without interrupting the existing file share names and permissions.

Anyone have a good guide or video on this?

Thanks!

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

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?

Hello, I am unable to add the actual servers as a referral on out 2008 R2 server. I can add the DFSNamepace, and the folder targets, but the namespace server is not listed. What am I missing?



I need to make sure I can use powershell to do this. I can manually add, but it defeats the purpose for automation.

Thank you for your assistance!

Needing to find a replication solution from a 2012r2 files server to a remote site with very poor connection speeds

January 31, 2017, 2:39 am

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can offer me a solution or some advice.

At the moment we have a central office with a NBN connection. Amongst other things, we have a terminal server needing to be accessed from remote clients for certain management software.

We also have RWA set up and could also use a VPN to access the main file server.

The problem we have is that Telstra can only offer an ADSL2+ connection at one of our remote locations, right in the center of Darwin mind you, that is allowing us approx 4Mbps down and about 0.4-0.8 Mbps up, on a good day.

This is barely usable for downloading or opening files directly from the file server but due to the network speed on uploads is not viable to re upload to the server the files that have been modified by remote users.

I have previously used a Thecus NAS server with 2012R@ storage Server installed and I am wondering if I created a synced copy of the file share on the Thecus NAS box, and used the offline file feature on the synced directory how this would work.

Basically until a faster connection can be offered buy a provider, even terminal server access is unusable but the remote office at least needs to have access to modify and work with files on the main server.

I suppose my question is if I did use a NAS box running Storage server 2012r2 and a remote user opens an excel spreadsheet will the remote NAS OS lock the file until the changes have been synced back to the host or does it have to sync back the whole file.

Some of the files that are being worked on are large spreadsheets and if a remote user only makes a few changes, I am thinking that it make be an acceptable solution if only the changes are synced back to the host.

Anyhow, as you guy's have no doubt picked up on, I have not used offline files extensively and unsure of the limits and capabilities but if any advice on this idea, or any other advise of how to try to get this remote site functional, without paying $7k install fee and about $1k/mth for a Telstra 2mb/2mb dedicated line, I'd really appreciate your opinions and thoughts.

Thx in advance for any advice you people may be able to offer me.

AD-less S2D cluster bootstrapping - Domain Controller VM on Hyper-converged S2D

Is it a supported scenario to run a AD domain controller in a VM on a hyper-converged S2D cluster? We're looking to deploy a 4-node hyper-converged S2D cluster at a remote site. We would like to run the domain controller for the site on the cluster so we don't need to purchase a 5th server. Will the S2D cluster be able to boot if the network links to the site are down (meaning other domain controllers are not accessible)? I know WS2012 allowed for AD-less cluster bootstrapping but will the underlying mechanics uses for storage access in S2D in WS2016 work without AD? Is this a supported scenario? AD-less S2D cluster bootstrapping?

Shadow Copy on Clustered File Server Windows 2012 R2 (There are no previous versions available)

January 31, 2017, 8:26 am

Hi,

I have a File Server cluster in Windows Server 2012 R2 as follows:

  • 2 virtual servers (vMware), with 4vCpus, 8 GB of RAM, data disks in RDM (Raw device Mapping).
  • 3 clustered disks + 1 Quorum.
  • I do not use DFS for the cluster, instead I use File Server role within the Windows Cluster Failover.
  • Hypervisor vMware 6
  • VMware Tools installed and upgraded on virtual machines
  • Fully Updated Windows
  • The 3 clustered disks are allocated in a DELL Compellent Storage
  • The 3 clustered volumes are formatted in NTFS, blocks of 4k without compression.

When I activate Shadow Copy on a local volume (non-clustered volume, like C:\), the backup versions made by shadow copy appear in the previous versions tab:

Shadow copy example on the C: \ drive of a cluster node:

When I activate shadow copy on clustered volumes, nothing appears on this tab previous versions:

On the workstations, you can see the contents of the tab previous versions:


Accessing the sharing by Fileserver cluster name (\\Clustername\share) I can also view shadow copies in previous versions tab.

After several searches I did not find anything related to shadow copy in a clustered environment.

Why logged in as domain administrator or any other account with administrative privilege can not view content previous versions directly on the drive, only using share?

Has anyone ever had this problem and can share information?

Hi everyone,

After I had read this article (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/storage/storage-spaces/storage-spaces-fault-tolerance?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) and this article (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2016/09/06/volume-resiliency-and-efficiency-in-storage-spaces-direct/)I had aquestion:

What will happen ifI createa 2-tier volume onSSD 2-way mirroning tier (performance) and HDD 2-way mirroning tier (capacity)? Is it supported configuration? Will ReFS work properly? I mean, will ReFS always write data to the “performance” tier?

Shared Folder error "Action can't be completed because folder or a file in it is open in another program"

November 3, 2016, 9:57 am

We're receiving this error on one of our shared folders on a local server. Changing names to a file or folder is fine, however, as soon as we open a file (and then close it) we receive the error above when attempting to change file and folder names. The particular folder in question is one with a very large amount of files/folders, which only a very select few have access. So the likelihood that the conflict is due to two individuals working in the same file/folder is impossible.  We've also replicated this issue on multiple systems, which leads us to believe the issue is on the server side.

Does anyone have advice for resolving this?

Building FTP over SSL

Hi 

We have a FTP site created on a windows server 2008 R2 standard and we plan to go with FTP over SSL.

and we have 2 clarifications:

1)we generated an internal SSL certificate  from our internal CA and things are working when we test from filezilla client, directories are listed and certificate warning is generated even after installing the root certificate on the client.

So how to avoid the SSL warning noting that we have SSL certificate installed on the FTP server generated from the ADCS and we installed root certificate on the client side.

warning is below:

"The server's certificate is unknown"

2) we are not able to connect to the same FTP server using ftp command line or from windows explorer, I have read that FTPS is not supported on these clients please I need your help to confirm this point and it will be great if u provide an official document from Microsoft confirming this point.

Thanks in advance.

I have setup a new server which I would like to setup as file server on Windows Server 2016. I've installed FSRM along and set it up.  However when I setup a file screen I cannot see the DATA drive which is formatted in REFS.  I would really like to use REFS as it has some very nice features in combination with Veeam 9.5.

Is it possible to convert thick provisioned to thin provisioned in windows server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces without data loss.

Sir,

I am shifting File server data from FS1 server (Server 2012R2 Std) to FS4 (Server 2016 Std).

In FS1 Server Storage Configuration are as below:

Hard Disk Used: 4TB- 2 Nos. HDD + 1TB-2 Nos. SSD

Provisioning-Fixed

Layout-Mirror

Capacity-4.57 TB

Allocated-4.57 TB

Storage Tiers-Enabled

In FS4 Server Storage Configuration are as below:

Hard Disk Used: 1 TB-6 Nos. SSD

Provisioning-Thin

Layout-Mirror

Capacity-3.5 TB

Allocated-2.71 TB

Storage Tiers-Disable

In FS1, i have created D:\Shares\UsersProfile which saved all thin client users Profile using Folder redirection Policy. but within few months our Storage spaces D drive speed is become very slow which hits its performance. Now Storage Spaces speed is only 50-60 MBps. It may be that i am using the Storage Tiers and HDD.

But in FS4 i am using only SSD and storage space D drive speed is more than 395 MBps.

Now i want to Use only SSD in FS1 Server and remove HDD. 

But in FS1 Server, I am using the Thick Provisioning and Storage Tiers. 

So, i am searching the way to convert the Thick Provisioning to Thin and disable storage Tiers to retires the HDD and finally remove it.

DFR-R from i-scsi disk or symbolc link

Hi all, I'm setting up a DFS-R folder replication between a Windows 2008R2 (branch) Server and a Windows 2012R1 (Hub) Server.

On my branch server I have an I-scsi connected disk and on that I want to replicate one folder, but during the Replication Setup  Wizard the administrative share for that drive (let's say F$) isn't show up.

Is it supported to setup DFS-R replication from an I-scsi disk?

If not is it supported to have a symbolic link to a folder on a different drive (a local drive where the administrative share shows up  without problem)?

Thank you in advance, George
