I am migrating File Share Services and File Share Resource Manager from Windows 2008 to Windows 2012 R2. We are keeping the file shares on the same storage. Both servers are connected to the San Storage. I have done a ton of research
on the File share migration and it seems that I only need to copy the registry key from the source server to the target server and make sure the drive letters stay the same since the permissions should remain the same on the shared storage. For FSRM
we have over 100 quotas in use for the shares. I have found different scripts to facilitate the migration of the FSRM templates but not much for the individual quotas. Any help would be appreciated.

Storage Spaces Direct Cluster Aware Updating Behaviour
We have a 4 node S2D Hyperconverged cluster.
When running Server 2016 CAU on the cluster the Microsoft documentation tells us that it is S2D aware and that it will only reboot a cluster node when the storage is healthy.
We are not seeing this behaviour, S2D is rebooting nodes while the S2D virtual disks are listed as degraded and repair jobs are still in progress. Are their any known issues or hotfixes available for this?
For information, we are running the CAU gui wizard from a Server 2016 OS virtual machine.

Offline Files
Hallo,
Can anyone tell me how the CSC cache is loaded ? What happens when it is full ? Is there a Round Robin strategy for populating the cache (this is, in case of full cache, the oldest files are dropped and replaced by newer) ?
Is it a good strategy to purge the cache at log-off time ?

Raid 5 Can't replace disk with bad blocks
We have a server 2012r2 with 5 x 2Tb disks in Raid5
The raid 5 is a software raid using the Server o/s and dynamic disks
One of the disks has bad blocks and shows 'errors' both in Diskpart and Disk Management.
The s/n of the disk with errors has been identified using WMIC
If the disk is removed (also removed and replaced using the same or different controler) the volume is not created and there is no option to do so using either diskpart or Disk Management
When the disk is connected back into the raid Disk Management offers the opportunity to 'Repair Raid' and uses a spare disk same size purchased for the purpose and from the same batch. The repair seems to run and Resynchronise but does not complete. When checking which disks are changed the new disk is in place but the disk removed is not the one with errors and the raid shows failed redundancy.
The same happens using diskpart and commands
sel vol=* [* is the volume letter]
repair disk=# [# is the replacement disk number]
Previously for other raid 5 failures I hame removed the disk and repaired the raid with a replacement and there has been no problem.
Does anyone have any idea of how to replace the faulty disk?

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes. Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected. What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones, located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

"Access limited by Share" - Unable to access files via security group membership
Greetings,
I have a weird permissions issue that shouldn't exist. I have a share named "Departments". This share has Domain Admins:FC and Authenticated Users:RW. The folder being shared is also called Departments. The NTFS permissions are Domain
Admins:FC and Authenticated Users:RW and inheritance is disabled.
Under the folder, departments, I have numerous files and folders. I want to restrict access to one folder, Licensing, to a security group labeled "SPLA Tracking". I disable inheritance for this folder, and apply the following permissions: Domain Admins: FC, SPLA Tracking: RW. Seems simple enough. Any member that is part of the SPLA Tracking group will have access to the folder, Licensing.
Yet, the opposite occurs. No member of the security group is allowed access. If I run the effective access view for this folder directly from the file server, it states that the security group, SPLA Tracking, does not have permissions, "Access limited by Share".
No matter what permissions I assign at the share level, Domain Admins:FC and Authenticated users:FC, the same effective permissions is listed for SPLA Tracking. Any clue on why this is occurring?

“Network Error - 53” while trying to mount NFS share in Windows Server 2008 client
CentOS | Windows 2008
I've got a CentOS 5.5 server running nfsd. On the Windows side, I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have the "Files Services" server role enabled and both Client for NFS and Server for NFS are on.
I'm able to successfully connect/mount to the CentOS NFS share from other linux systems but am experiencing errors connecting to it from Windows. When I try to connect, I get the following:
C:\Users\fooadmin>mount -o anon 10.10.10.10:/share/ z:
Network Error - 53
Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.
(IP and share name have been changed to protect the innocent :-) )
Additional information:
- I've verified low-level network connectivity between the Windows client and the NFS server with telnet (to the NFS on TCP/2049) so I know the port is open. I've further confirmed that inbound and outbound firewall ports are present and enabled.
- I came across a Microsoft tech note that suggested changing the "Provider Order" so "NFS Network" is above other items like Microsoft Windows Network. I changed this and restarted the NFS client - no luck.
- I've confirmed that the share folder on the NFS server is readable/writable by all (777)
- I've tried other variations of the mount command like:
mount 10.10.10.10:/share/ z:andmount 10.10.10.10:/share z:andmount -o anon mtype=hard \\10.10.10.10:/share *No luck. - As per the command output, I tried typing
NET HELPMSG 53but that doesn't tell me much. Just "The network path was not found".
I'm lost on how to proceed with troubleshooting. Any ideas?

Taking Ownership, Access Denied
On our network, from time to time, a user will screw up permissions to a folder or file they create. In the past, we have been able to simply go to the location with our admin account, take ownership of the file or folder and reset the permissions. Something changed at the enterprise level and now we are unable to do that. I have asked for enterprise help and they don't seem to understand what I am asking for.
Our set up. At our site, we have a NetApp device with several shares. These shares are shared out to the network via DFS. DFS is managed at the enterprise level and the NetApp is managed locally. We have not made any changes to our NetApp or our namespace servers that help with replication.
Yes, I am using an administrator account to attempt this. Yes, I could do this before. I believe this started right around the same time the enterprise started upgrading their DFS servers.
Here are pictures. If anyone can help me figure out what change was made, or what change needs to be made to make it so our admin accounts can take ownership of files and folders again, I would appreciate it.
Before, instead of giving me an error, it would let me know that I don't have permissions, and that continuing would overwrite permissions to give me full control, I would click OK, then boom, I would have full control and give permissions back the way they should be. all done.

Any difference 2008 / 2008R2 deal with thumbs.db in shared folder
Hi all,
We got 3 windows server provide files service, two 2008 and one 2008 R2, in workgroup. Most user using Windows 10/7.
Just handling a inquiry from users that they cannot move / delete folders immediately on 2008 R2 with reason "thumbs.db being accessed by Windows Explorer". I understand thumbs.db should be created by client side, and its Windows Explorer lock the thumbs.db.
I check out for a while, it can be avoid by "Always show icons, never thumbnails." to disable thumbnails. However, it is not a option to fit us, as thumbnails quite useful in routine tasks, which handling a lot graphic files.
After further check out, users only report this thumbs.db issue when using shared folder on 2008 R2, but not 2008s. I look into 2008 servers, thumbs.db files also created by user.
I wonder if there are difference between 2008 and 2008R2 shared folder when handling thumbs.db? or any configuration can be deal with this issue?
Thanks

How to improve FSRM Classification Speeds
I am currently doing a performance test on our server for classifying office files. We are trying to use FSRM for the job but so far, we are not very impressed and infact disappointed.
We setup 2 systems for this purpose and created 2 lac sample files (1 MB appx each) summing up to 200 GB data.
Windows 2012 R2 i3 3.30 GHz (2 core 4 logical processor) with 16 GB RAM. We have applied upto 7 Regular Expressions. It's taking us 24 hours to do the job.
The same task took us 11.5 hours on a Windows 2012 R2 Standard i7 3.40 GHz system with 32 GB RAM (4 core 8 logical processor)
At this rate, to classify a realistic 1 TB data, it will take 57 to 60 hours or 120 hours on the slower system. Optimistically, it's taking 4.6 seconds to classify 1MB file or 0.216 MB/sec
I have seen an article which mentioned FSRM speeds.
'Approxiamately 40 files are classified per second when the content classifier is used to classify office 2007 documents that are under 1 MB'.
The article also said that it depends on the number of regexs run against the data.
This will take forever to classify our office files if we are to depend on FSRM.
Has anyone tried it on your systesms? What are the speeds you got? Is it this slow? Is there anyway to improve our performance? Does FSRM classification depend on RAM, number of cores, number of files or it's content?

DFS namespace migration from SMB / CIFS on Netapp
Hi All
I am trying to figure out a way to deal with shortcuts pointed to a smb share when migrating to a namespace. My org has run shared folders on a netapp for a long time, we are finally migrating to DFS with a namespace. Everything has gone pretty well with one exception. We still have some shortcuts that run printer mapping scripts on startup. Every computer has one :/ all 400. In the past I would have just used a dns alias for the old file server to the new file server and change the old servers name. This would give me two benefits, if anyone mapped to the old server they would still work and any scripts and whatnot pointed there would still work. I cant do that with a namespace due to the additional directory layer i.e. \\server\share vs \\domain name\namespace\share. Any ideas on how to update that shortcut on 400 PCs? Or redirect requests to the old servername to the new namespace?

Redirected Folders on DFS Share with Primary Computer - Files are synching on remote server when connecting through RDP session
We have Redirected Folders configured on DFS shares with Primary Computers assigned to each user. Many of these users use RDP sessions into other servers to do some of their work and for some reason offline files are synchronizing on those servers as well as their assigned primary computers. Any idea what could cause this?

Offline folders disconnects and reconnects continusly
I tell you, We have a domain with functional level 2016, several servers Windows Server 2016 acting as RDS and a few portable computers with Windows 10 Pro. Our users have enabled the redirection of folders to a network resource and connect other network
resources to the same file server. In the resource where the folders are redirected, Offline Files is enabled and the problem is that, although there are no network connection losses or low speed connection detection, in the offline file log it is recorded
that very often the resource is it disconnects and reconnects for no apparent reason and in the Windows Explorer it is seen that the files and folders are disconnected although you can normally access the rest of shares of the same file server, and this prevents
the normal development of our users' work and causes many offline files's conflicts to solve...
I have been looking for information and I found a thread some years ago with exactly the same problem but with Windows 7 clients https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/0c5ec5d6-4a9f-42f6- ae61-522905827737/offline-folders-constantly-transitioning-to-offlinedisconnected-state?forum=w7itpronetworking without a solution. On the other hand it was commented that the problem could come from the rdbss.sys file version, but I have not found a satisfactory solution for our environment. If someone can help us, we'll be grateful.

No longer able to manage ISCSI targets with Server Manager in WS2016 after the node is added to a failover cluster.
Hey everyone. I hope someone is able to assist with this issue.
I have installed WS2016 Standard on a server that I intend to used as an iSCSI target server. The iSCSI target server role service is installed as well as the failover cluster manager feature.
On this server, call it Storage1, I created an iSCSI disk named iSCSI-Disk01 and mapped it to an iSCSI target named iSCSI-TRGT-01 and connected Storage01 to iSCSI-TRGT-01 using the iSCSI initiator. The disk is initialized, formatted and is visible in file explorer,
Server Manager and Disk Mangement snap-in.
I then proceed to create a cluster using the failover cluster manager on Storage1 and then add Storage1 as the first node in the cluster. When I try to add the iSCSI disk added earlier to cluster storage, it is not visible in the FCM and is no loner available
in File Explore. The iSCSI initiator is no longer connected and is just showing "reconnecting." As a result I am unable to create the iSCSI target role as there are't any available disks to be used. I then go to File and Storage services in
server manager and select iSCSI. In the top area it says "no eligible servers are available, " and I am unable to create a new iSCSI disk and target.
However, when I destroy the cluster and restart the server, I am once more able to see the connected iSCSI disk in Server Manager and I am able to create other iSCSI. How can I create an iSCSI target cluster in WS2016 without this issue? Is this a bug or is
there a new way to implement this in WS2016?

Robocopy Version XP010 - Excluding Multiple Directories using /XD
I'm attempting to use Robocopy to routinely copy data between 2 servers. In the file structure being copied there are several folders + their associated sub-folders e.g DfsrPrivate and Projects\Archived for this example I don't want to copy.
I've attempted to use the switches /XD DfsrPrivate /XD Projects\Archived
/XF is also used to exclude all .bak files. (referenced after the 2 /XD switches)
This results in the log file header below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows :: Version XP010

Exc Files : *.bak

Projects\Archived

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This results in the DfsrPrivate being excluded but Projects\Archived and all the subfolders below are not.
Has any one had experience with trying this, and had success?
