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

Dear Everyone,

I need your help.

Failed to send the test e-mail due to the following error: Cannot send the email due to an error.

I used Office365 account. But when I try to send test, it always show as the following message above.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I use Windows Server version 1803.

I create nested S2D PoC on Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V.

I can not "Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect–CimSession <ClusterName>"

Does anyone encounter the same error?

Hi there, 

I have Shadow Copies configured. All data are on E drive, and Shadow Copies are on F drive. I have two question about the shadow copies drive. 

1. When I check F drive, I can see that drive has been used, but when I click into that F drive, it is empty. Can anyone explain to me why? I asked this because I can restore files from the shadow copies drive, but didn't see anything when clicked into that drive.

2. If that shadow copies drive is full, how do I clean up it as there is nothing shows up when I click into that drive.

Thanks!

Greetings Microsoft Community, 

This system is running windows 10 pro on a windows server 2016 domain. I have enabled the settings required in the GPO so that I should be able to use fingerprint sign on but it still doesn't allow me to set up fingerprint sign on. (Greyed Out)

Things I have tried:

.../Windows Components/Windows Hello For Business/ Use biometrics => Enabled

.../Windows Components/System/Biometrics -> Enabled

.../System/Logon/ Turn on convenience PIN sign-in => Enabled

Hi,

When deploying Windows Server 2016 work folders how can we deploy client settings via group policies if the domain controller is Windows Server 2003 R2. It has settings only for Offline Folders.

Hi,

I have 2 fileservers (1x 2016 and 1x 2012 R2) connected via 1 Gbit/s and setup with DFS-Replication. The share has 13 TB and the stage-size is 1 TB (on each machine). I've setup replication 5 weeks ago and now there are only 3TB replicated. There are no errors in DFSR-Eventlog. Once per week I have Warning 4202 (staging space above the high watermark) but this should be no problem as it is only once per week.

Whats wrong? I'm familar with DFS-Replication and have checked https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2007/10/05/top-10-common-causes-of-slow-replication-with-dfsr/

Hi,

I'm using an iScsi storage device that is connected to the network via two interfaces.   One interface is using ip address 192.168.101.8 and the second one is 172.30.0.250.  The second one is a bonded interface and I do not want to make an iscsi connection via this particular interface.  So I've setup an iscsi connection on my Windows Server 2012 R2 with the target being 192.168.101.8.  This works works fine but as soon as I restart my server the target gets set back to 172.30.0.250.  

When I'm in iScsi Initiator in the Target tab it shows that the target is connected.  When I click Properties I notice that the Identifier that I created is gone and replaced with the old Identifier again.  So basically the session that I manually added is removed and restart, and the original session with the wrong target is restored.

Can I make sure that is keeps this session even after restarting the server ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have some servers running 2012 R2 with active Work Folders feature. They will be replaced by 2016 machines. Is there some howto regarding the migration of Work Folders feature?

The sync shares are created with file access only for the users itself. Work folders URL is distributed by GPO to the clients and setup is enforced. Clients are Windows 10 1709 and 1803. 

Before Windows 10 1803 the clients had all the data and changing the sync share was easy. Clients were just resynchronizing their files to the new, empty share. Now with the new features, most files stay on the sync share server and only a few files are offline available. 

So how do I handle this? 

Thanks, Ingo

Hello,

I have 3 volumes of 4TB each.  Each of them have a scheduled dedup job that runs at 6am.  When the schedule job starts at 6am they all run simultaneously.  But if I have to run a manual dedup job on a newly created 4th volume while the initial 3 volumes are in process of deduping,  the  job of the 4th volume goes into the queued mode.  It stays in queue until any of the previous volumes have been completed.  Now if i add the newly created 4th volume as a schedule dedupjob then all 4 volumes run at the same time without issues. Does any one know how to force start a dedup job without it being queued?

Thank you.

Per link, it says that IDMU is deprecated in Win Server 2016 and up. Is there a simple alternative solution to map Unix ID's with Windows ID's so that I can share my files across both SMB and NFS? Without a mapping store, file permissions would not correctly be honored between users unix users and windows users.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/activedirectoryua/2016/02/09/identity-management-for-unix-idmu-is-deprecated-in-windows-server/

According to the blog post (and several other sources), it mentions that the UID/GID entries will still exist moving froward. But there's no mention of how to setup up the mapping alternatives. It also alludes to possibly using the UID/GID attributes with NFS Server for ID mapping, but I'm trying to find steps on performing this. 

"For example, you may require the RFC 2307 attributes in combination with Network File System (NFS) Server (which does not require NIS Server role to be installed on Windows Server) to map the identity."

Any help for steps on performing this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm having a weird issue in Server 2016 in regard to share and NTFS permissions.

When I create a folder on my file server (D: partition) and I change nothing, I can access all the folders and files in it. If, however, I disable inheritance to modify the permissions and change the share and NTFS permissions, I get an error (as local and domain admin) that I can not access the folder, I get a prompt and when I choose continue it adds the specific account (which is either local or domain admin) to the NTFS permissions. The share and NTFS permissions are as follows:

Share:
User group - Modify
Domain admins - Full Control

NTFS:
User group - Modify
Administrators - Full Control*
Domain Admins - Full control

* It doesn't matter whether I only give permissions to Administrators (of which domain admins is a member) or Domain Admins when I'm logged into a domain admin account.

The ownership of the folder does not influence anything as well, even when my account owns the folder I still get the prompt. When I change the the owner of the folder to, for instance the domain admins, I'm all of a sudden kicked out of it altogether (even though my account is a domain admin).

Turning off UAC does not change anything either. Neither does re-adding the server to the domain, nor does formatting the harddisk (as the issue can be recreated on multiple drives).

My other server 2016, in the same domain, also has this issue. Yet another server, also a Server 2016, in another domain which I'm administrator of doesn't have this issue at all. I have even recreated the domain in order to check whether the issue is domain related, this turns out not to be the case.
Does anyone else have similar problems with NTFS permissions not being applied properly? Is this a known bug in 2016 after a specific update?

If anyone has any tips, I'd very much appreciate the help.

Kind regards,

Ranko

Edit: I've tried SFC as well, did not help. Clean install of Windows did not help either (it was being updated right after the installation, so I can not rule out a bug due to an update).

We are trying to copy files from Win 2008 R2 to CIFS share which is mounted on HP StoreOnce Device which is domain joined

We are using Robocopy as well RichCopy with permission transfer options, following command was used

robocopy.exe$Source $Destination  /E /ZB /COPY:DATSOU /SEC /R:3 /W:3 /MT /TEE

Files are getting copied, but permissions are not reflecting.

Same command used to copy to another drive in same server, copying is successful with permissions.

Any help will be appreciated!!

I continue to receive 12293 & 8193 errors in the event log everytime Backup Exec 2010r3 runs on our 2008r2 server. Volume shadow copy runs fine without error. When the backup software runs and VSS is accessed to backup the system state it fails. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Would someone please provide detailed instructions, or a link to instructions, on how to create more than one Pool in S2D?

I have seen many requests, and responses, that it can be done, but no direction on how.

Thanks,

Hello everyone!I'm going crazy because of this problem.
I have a virtual 2012R2 file server on a vmare host that randomly has problems with shared folders.We have just redone the network and there are no particular problems on the network, I do not think this is the cause of the problem.

In the system registry Microsoft-Windows-SMBServer / Operational I found the error that I report and the timing coincides perfectly with user reports.

can you help me to understand what may be the cause of the problem or give me some suggestions please?

Reopening failed.

Client name: \\10.2.0.62
Client address: 10.2.0.62:62961
Username: YYY\xxx
Session ID: 0x4C0354000025
Share name: Documents
File name: Swing\Report Cells\DBCELLE.ldb
Recovery key: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

Additional information:

The client attempted to reopen an available handle continuously, but the attempt failed.This usually indicates a network problem or with the underlying file being reopened.

We've just deployed Work Folders in our organisation and so far we're loving it. It solves a lot of issues and enhances our user's experience.

I have a question about .ini files. 

We have essentially created a work folder on their laptops containing C:\Users\Username\Work Folders\...

• Documents
• Desktop
• Downloads

We've used GP to redirect their associated folders to this new location using folder redirection. This allows remote workers to save and open files without the files going over the WAN everytime as we've set it to always be available whilst offline. 

One big problem we have at the moment is with the sync icons. When I look at File Explorer, it'll show Desktop, Downloads and Documents with a BLUE Sync Arrows. If I click on those folders, everything is green ticks. This simple GUI glitch throws the user into thinking it's not synchronising correctly. My understanding of this behaviour is a result of the desktop.ini file. Work Folders ignore .ini .tmp files. So if a user has those, then the top level folder shows as continuously syncing, even though it's not. 

Now, I'm new to this feature and as far as I understand, it has been about since Windows Server 2012 R2. Does this always happen? Is it normal behaviour to show the top level folders with the blue sync arrows, even though everything inside has synced or is it a relatively new GUI bug that affects Windows 10 1803?

You can replicate this behaviour simply by adding a .ini file inside a work folder. The top-level folder will show the syncing icons. The sync control panel will show green - syncronised. 

Does anybody have a workaround so I don't throw the users experience off? I'm getting support calls because they think it' not syncing.

Thank you
