Hi all,

I am currently in the middle of a course learning about roaming profiles. I have set up a domain controller (domcontroller01) and a client machine (ClientPC01) on VirtualBox VM. I have also created a domain (DG). I also setup a security group on Active Directory named "Roaming Profiles" and assigned these to the users.

This is my first time setting up roaming profiles and straight away encountered an issue despite going through the microsoft guide on how to deploy roaming profiles and the course videos.

The initial log on to a user is completely fine. Nothing is having issues at this point. But when I log off, that is when I start to have issues. It takes about 10 minutes to log off even though no data is on the profile at all. Then it says my profile was not completely synchronized, please check event log. I did and below is the sort of errors I am getting:

Windows cannot copy file \\?\C:\Users\test1\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UPPS\UPPS.bin to location \\?\UNC\domcontroller01\profiles$\test1.V6\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UPPS\UPPS.bin. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. 

 DETAIL - Access is denied.

I have checked permissions to \\domcontroller01\profiles$ ::

DG\Roaming Profiles (Group) = Special Permissions - List folder / read data & Create folders / append data (this folder, subfolders and files)

DG\Administrators (Group) = Full control (this folder only)

I have checked permissions to \\domcontroller01\profiles$\test1.V6 ::

DG\Test1 (user) = Full Control

I have also checked the profile tab on active directory and the below is inputted:

\\domcontroller01\profiles$\test1

Can anyone help me resolve this problem please? didnt really expect this straight away after creating and setting up roaming profiles!

Thanks,

Dan

Hello There,

I have File Print Server running Windows Server 2008 Std SP2. Server has 2 basic disks"Disk 0" (RAID-1) and "Disk 1" (RAID-5).
On "Disk 0" I have used all available space for "System (C:)" volume, which is from where the server boot.
On "Disk 1" I currently have 3 simple volumes (primary partitions) D: (408GB), F: (250GB) and S: (24GB), on all of which I have simple file structures (shared to users). I shrinked 150GB from F. This Space is allocated at the moment. As i am running out space on D drive ( last 3GB is being utilized at the moment) and I want to extend D drive with this 150GB unallocated space. These volumes where created in that order (D:, then E: and finally S:).


I thus (in Disk Management) select the volume, right-click and select "Extend Volume".
This brings up the "Extend Volume Wizard", I click Next> enters the amount of space in MB (e.g. 157038), click Finish.
I then get a "Disk Management" warning stating:

"The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s). 
If you convert the disk(s) to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed operating systems 
from any volume on the disk(s) (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?:


A. Can I be absolutely certain this does not impair the service/functionality of the server, i.e. that it continues to function, booting it's OS from C: as well as maintaining is file structures? because i stated above, I have shared folders mapped to users from this D drive... and i don't want to lose any data.

Hey,

We have a very random issue where Offline Files sometimes flags up 'Access denied' and users can only see the local cache copy of network drives.

After a few reboots it just seems to fix itself. We actually set slow-link mode too and this made me think it was some of the issue, but the offline files operational log doesn't not show anything untoward.

For a user that had 'access denied' yesterday, but is totally fine today:

Hello,

The only error that we have, was written by the application on the application log file.

               Can anyone give me some lights on what should be my next steps, what can I search or diag next?

               The Client is a Windows Server 2008R2 and the Fileshare Server is a Windows server 2012R2.

Hi,

I have a corporate Inventory application installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I need to deploy some Agents to Windows 7 Desktops.

This app requires having access to C$ and Admin$ in the Desktops, from the Server. Also the agent is installed in C:\Windows\ from a BAT Script but can be installed in C:\ or Program Files too. The agent also comes with a Service related with the processes being executed when the agent is running.

Usually I can deploy the agents from the server using Local (Desktop) or Domain Admin Account, but this time our AD Admin told me he can't provide that kind of access. It has to be a non-Admin account. When I ask him what is the right permission / mapping I should have to request to Security team in order to install the agents, he doesn't know! (It seems is not a legit AD Admin ¬¬)

In Windows 2003 I used to mitigate that scenario by requesting Power Users to our AD Admin, but that permission is not able in Windows 2008. What kind of permissions do I need to request in the Windows Server 2008 R2 account, for viewing Admin Shares in the Desktops and installing the agent remotely? Also I understand User Access Control (UAC) plays some role here (I don't know if I have to request disabling UAC in the Desktops for installing the agent, for instance)

Best regards,

Alejandro

Hi All,

I'm looking into what options I have around using Mirror Accelerated Parity in a home lab environment...
From what I understand, this is currently only supported in Storage Spaces Direct; meaning multiple servers... Is there a way to set this up with a single server?

Also, what are the chances of this feature being supported on Win10 Enterprise or Win10 Pro for Workstations?

Cheers
Jason

The DNS domain name is: domain.consto.com

The Pre-windows name is: netname

\\domain.consto.com\sysvol works fine. \\domain\sysvol does not work. It keeps asking for credentials to access it with an access is denied.  No matter what you try, it doesn't work.  "netname\administrator" does not work.

I dfs-share on the domain controllers works file with \\domain\{dfs-share}.  So why does this work and "netlogon" and "sysvol" not work?

There is nothing in the security log.

Also server 2016 is now the domain controllers and the 2008 servers were removed.

Any ideas why this happens?

Greetings,

I have an old roaming profile that I need to delete.  However any time i try to delete it is says "you require permission from "my own user" to make changes to this folder.

Anyone know a solution? I can take ownership but it gives me the same error.

Thanks,

Hi all.

I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2016 that's been added as a member to a Windows SBS Server 2011 domain. It has not been promoted or anything else. It has 2 network interfaces where one is connected to the rest of the network and it's been configure with static info. Network connectivity works fine in both directions. All updates have been installed as of yesterday (July 17, 2018). I created a share on this server that although accessible from the primary domain controller other computers on the network are refused.

In troubleshooting I've found that if I drop the firewall the share is accessible. When the firewall is back on it shows up as connected to a domain network and I've gone into the firewall and made sure that file and print sharing are allowed but still can't connect with the firewall up.

Another troubleshooting step was to turn on firewall logging for dropped packets on all three networks and creating a different name for each of the logs e.g. public networks firewall log is named "publicfirewall" and the private network firewall logs are named "privatefirewall". After enabling the firewall and trying to connect to the share the only log that's getting any entries is the one for the public network even though the NIC connected to the network comes up as in the domain network.

This is a basic install with very basic roles and/or features installed. Can anyone provide any guidance for fixing this?

Thanks

Joe

Hi,

I am looking to setup syncing and replication of two drive on two instances of Windows Server 2016 Data center edition hosted on two seperate Amazon EC2's.  

I would like to have one drive sync and replicate to another drive on a different EC2 instance as a failover.  The second instance would take over in case the first instance fails.  I am not sure if Storage Replica can do this.  

Thanks for the suggestions

Dear Guys,

I have a problem and no idea what to do, please help! One of our customers have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server, which has SMB1 feature installed and enabled because of some old scanner. They have ~15 client computers, most of them works correctly with the server's shared folders, but some of them is not.

Now I'm working on it remotely, making a VPN connection through SSTP and try to reach the server with it's IP address (\\192.168.1.5), after 15-20 seconds I got error code 0x80070035 on 1 client and 0x80004005 on 2 other clients. I'm trying to reach the server's shared folders with one of the custumers Windows 10 PC's (1803), and from their branch office server which is running Windows Server 2008 R2, and from my own Windows 10 PC (1803). None of them is a domain joined computer, however there're a few working, but not domain joined computers. SSTP connection is set on all of them used with the remotewebaccess.com certificate, connection works correctly, as some clients are working correctly through that and they can reach the shared folders.

We have other Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials servers with SSTP and file sharing, I had made some investigation yesterday. I'm connected to them by SSTP, tried to reach shared folders from my PC and all of them was working. Then I had downloaded an SMB test program which can test all of the SMB versions and found that all of these servers were successfully tested through VPN on every SMB versions, and our server in our network is successfully tested too. The program not resolves the problematic server's name by Netbios (it is enabled on all of the interfaces), and tries to test SMB1 and got a timeout, so it is not testing other SMB versions. I think it can be a problem with the enabled SMB1 protocol, which is the only difference with the tested and the problematic server. None of the others have SMB1 enabled.

If there's no other idea I'll try to remove it in the evening, but I have to try another solutions because they need to use SMBv1 and other clients are still working, so there should be a solution.

I have tried tons of registry hacks as forums mentioned for this error codes but nothing has changed. Do you have any new idea what to do?

Hello,

I am working with a customer who needs to do Windows Server Migration Synchronization between his 2 web servers.

Can he just use DFS for file replication considering both VMs are in the same datacenter and same rack. Anything shall be collected from the customer's environment other than this? Any limitations?

Shall we proceed with this solution or we think of other knowing that Windows Server Standard 2016 is the OS of the 2 servers?

Thanks

Hi,

I found this file in Dedup\ChunkStore and it has 0 lenght :(

Best Wishes, Andrew Golubenkoff

the server is a windows 2016 VM hosted on a ESX5.5 

1. added a new raw disk to the VM

2. From the disk managemen console, the disk is initiated and formatted

3. From the server manger console, trying to create a storage pool, it fails with the below error ... 



Kindly assist. I have tried to replace the disk altogether, change path, re-format,... 

Does SMB1 and SMB2 require the Server service to function?  In other words without Server service turned on any SMB will not work to the server?
