Hello,

I currently have 2 network shares setup that users can access while on my Local network, (One is a shared drive and One is a Home Drive for each user). Is there any programs that I can use to access the files online for Mac users like Online Folders in File Explorer? I looked at programs such as OwnCloud but they require me to install an new OS on the server as a pose to a program in Windows.

Thanks heaps

Do Virtual Disks in Storage Spaces remain online during certain operations?

I have a couple of questions about Storage Spaces that I can't seem to find definitive answers for.

1) In a Storage Pool configured for Parallel Rebuild (adequate free space, RepairPolicy set to Parallel, RetireMissingPhysicalDisks set to Always). If a physical disk fails do Virtual Disks remain online and accessible during the parallel rebuild process?

2) Adequate number of additional physical disks are added to a Storage Pool. Do Virtual Disks remain online and accessible while running Optimize-StoragePool?

Many thanks in advance!

Shortcuts in a c:\users\%username% can't be re-named, can be modified

A shortcut in a regular user's home\documents directory, that points to to a directory located under a named-mount partition can successfully have its target modified by the user, but the user can't update the name of the shortcut to reflect the new new target.

That statement is the status while logged in as the user. Let's call the user "Bob"

Details from an administrator's login: The shortcut file effective access for Bob is positively "full control" and 12 others. No denied or empty permissions. Bob has ownership of the folder.

Inheritance is enabled on Bob's "documents" folder that contains the shortcut, and the shortcut inherited its security properties from the folder.

Frankly, it's a plain-vanilla setup.

The shortcut was most likely created by using Windows Explorer to the mounted sub-folder's parent (in the left pane,) highlighting/selecting the folder, right click-copy it, and then in Bob's `Documents` folder he used the context menu item `Paste shortcut.`

Please ask any questions, request information or tasks. I simply didn't want to clutter the question with more extraneous details.

Fileserver - Diskmanagement and Partition - best practice

January 8, 2019, 11:49 pm

Hello all,

Right now, we are running a fileserver (Windows Server 2016) with a really big data-disk (D:\) of round about 6,5 TB. This server is virtualized by VMware and the storage is located in the SAN.

Our storage administrator provides us one big LUN and we have created one big vmdk on this LUN. So right now, this server has two vmdk-disks (C:\ and disk D:\). On Disk D:\ we have created one Share, which is mapped by all endusers.

Now we had a discussion with our storage administrator, because he wants to rebuild the whole SAN/LUN environment. Instead of one big LUN, he will provide use 6 or 7 smaller LUNs (with round about 1TB) - because from his site, small LUNs are more comfortable and he can manage them (move) better.

What is the best practice for diskmanagement and partition designing in such a case?

Should we use all the LUNs as different disks (vmdks) and build one partition over all disks? (problem: when there is an issue with one disk, then the whole partition has a failure).

Should we use all the LUNs as different disks and build a partition on each disk? (problem: when using more than one partition, we have to create a share on each partition and therefore the users has to be mapped to all shares - normally we would like to have only one share)

Does anyone know what is the best solution?

How to generate a report with NTFS permissions showing user names insted group names?

End users often ask for reports that show wich user can write or read in each folder. But all report tools or auditing tools i know (DumpSec for example) shows the group names and end users don´t know about global and local groups names and end users would like to see a list of users names who can access the folders

Any tool? Any idea? Probably there is a way to script the whole thing to get groups and expand the user names inside the groups, but probably there is a tool to do that...

Building up a number of lab environments and I have a solution with the following:-

1xSSD - Cache

8xHDD - Capacity

I want to test how to increase the cache by adding 3 extra SSD per server (same hardware model) but storage spaces appears to automatically allocate these straight to the capacity pool.

Is there a mechanism to force these SSD to the cache?

Access to network shares on server in work-group

I have two servers in our DMZ space, assigned to the same work-group called 'service'.  Server1 needs to talk to Server2 and vise versa.  While logged on as "Administrator", shared folders are displayed from each respective server (server1 can see the shared folders on server 2 and vice versa).  

If I setup a unique user id (DMZAdmin) and have it be assigned it assigned to the Administrators Group on both server (server1 has a user called DMZAdmin and server2 has a user called DMZAdmin), Server2 can browse the shared folders on Server1; however, Server1 cannot see the shared folders on Server2.

When attempting access, pop-up window appears reporting network error (Windows cannot access \\server2.  Details include Error Code: 0x80070035 (The network path was not found).

Any thoughts?

Unable to map network share using logon script

Hello,

I'm currently having an issue where a newly created share is not mapping along with other drives in the script.
This script is able to map five other network locations except this one.

The commands I use are:

net use u: /delete

net use u: \\PathOfShare

I noticed the cmd prompt window is stuck and the output reads the syntax is incorrect.
Even though I have other shares that are mapped with the identical syntax.

Is there a change that has to be made to the share itself?
Any info helps.

Thank you.

Difficulty adding new member to existing dfs replication - "cannot be added to the folder. the file exists"

Hello,  We have an existing dfs namespace simply named domain.com\dfs that has 3 replicated folders, Applications, Users, BranchData.  At each branch office there is a local file and print server, and each office is in its on site in AD Sites and Services.  This has been working perfectly for a number of years, but now we have a new office under construction and I am working on getting the new office server ready for deployment.  When I try to add this new server with the new member wizard (simply by right clicking on our domain.com\dfs under Replicaiton in DFS Management, I can get through to finish out but I get an error for each folder:

\\server\Applications.  The folder target \\server\applications cannot be added to the folder.  The file exists.

\\server\Users.  The folder target \\server\users cannot be added to the folder.  The file exists.

\\server\BranchData.  The folder target \\server\BranchData cannot be added to the folder.  The file exists.

I close out of the wizard, and those folders are created and shared properly on the server.  However for local path it shows <not Defined> and has a yellow exclamation point next to it.

Someone on another forum said to try it from another DFS Management console.  I did try from the new server (Server 2016), an existing Server 2012 R2, an existing Server 2008 R2, and also my Windows 10 1803 with the RSAT tools.  All DFS Management consoles produce the same result.  I tried creating the folders and shares on the new server first, and I also tried it with those three folders and shares not on the new server at all... both ways it fails on that error.  This is the first 2016 server in the domain so I wonder if that's part of the difficulty.

We have a AD and File Server running Windows 2008 R2. With file sharing I am having some problems with shared PDF files. Is there any way to lock the files when they are opened by a user so that no one else can make changes to them while opened? We are experiencing problems where more than one user has the PDF open and they are making changes and then saving over what the other user did or Acrobat X locks up completely and loses everything they had done.

Users that are not in the ACL_COMPUTER_ADMINISTRATOR group are not able to access the Home Directory

We have the need to revamp our computer administrator policy for security reasons, and we have an ACL that makes the user a local admin on the machine they login to. When we remove this permission the user cannot no longer access their home dir as assigned in AD. The permissions are set like this...

The Home folder share permissions are

Domain Users - Full Control

The Home folder NTFS permissions are

CREATOR OWNER - Full Control

SYSTEM - Full Control

DOMAIN ADMIN - Full Control

Domain Users - Traverse folder / execute file, List folder / Read data, Create folders / append data

Administrators (local) full control

Unless the user is an admin, they cannot access any part of the home dir, including their own home folder.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

The volume Vol_Tier2 (G:) was not optimized because an error was encountered: The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume. (0x8900002A)

If I format this volume to NTFS everything works fine. Had no such problem in Server 2012 R2.

Guess defrag.exe is not working with new ReFS v3.1

The versions of Disk Defragmenter in Win2k3, Win2k and WinXP provide a report indicating what files are defragmented and the extent of that fragmentation.  The version in Vista and Win2k8 do not appear to have this anymore.  Is this something that was taken out, or is there some setting I am missing?  Quite honestly, I would really like to know what I am getting myself in for, if I need to run this on a database server.

How can I modify the timeout / search time for mapped network folders?

Sometimes I click at a shortcut with a network path for a computer that is in maintanance.
The windows explorer gets frozen for about a minute and I can do nothing with my computer.

Finally I get the error 0x80070035 because the network path could not be found.

It is fine to receive the error, but how can I reduce the waiting time, eg. to 500 ms instead of 1 min?

I tried to use

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control  => "ServicesPipeTimeout" DWORD, set to 500 (Decimal)

 

and I also tried to delete the key  {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}


from

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\


but this does not seem to help.

Stefan

 

(I hope this is the right place to ask this question?)
