Hello, 

I have a file server which i would  like to give full permission to user (Modify, update etc..) but the only restrictions I would like to do is prevent users from deleting any file or folder. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

First time submitting a question, so please excuse (and advise) if I've done this incorrectly.

I currently have an Apple File Server (~600Gb) which I'm in the process of migrating over to a 2k8R2 server.  I wanted to find out if anyone else has done this process, and if they have any tips on best methods to do this.  I'm trying to find out if there is a program which can truncate the names to make them NTFS compatible as well as removing the permissions on the files so they can be transferred successfully. At this point I'm manually moving files folder by folder and troubleshooting as problems arise but there has to be an easier way to do this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks everyone!

Best,

Dan

Hi there,

I've been struggling with a problem with our server, which runs Win Server 2008 R2 (V 6.1 Build 7601, SP1). Our people can map a drive to the server (\\servername) from their computers just fine when connected to our office network. Up until recently we were able to map a drive to our server from offsite using a DNS pointed address, servername.company.coop - and it stopped working. (yes, I really mean mapping, not 'Network location' - thought that doesn't work either. We want to be able to access the files on the server from our computers offsite as though it were a peripheral hard drive.)

I've checked with our ISP, and the DNS pointers are correct. When we try to logon, we receive "Error code: 0x80070043, The network name cannot be found". We are usually able to use Remote Desktop to access the folders, but it's clunky and lately some offsite computers are no longer able to get in that way. We have 6 network folder shares on this machine, and I don't seem to be able to share any more when I try to create a test folder; is there a limit to how many shares may be active at one time? I apologize if this is too vague, I don't have much experience with mapping and don't really know where to start tracking this down.

Thank you for any help you can give!

Hi there,

I'm trying to applying a top level, non-inherited ("This folder only") ACL to a directory containing a massive number of subdirs/files. Since the ACL I want to add isn't going to be inherited, I feel like there should be a way to do this without trawling all subdirs, but using the ACL GUI or icacls still does this, despite the only change being the addition of the one ACL (i.e. I've not changed other ACLs). I started a run over the weekend, but it was interrupted, so I've started another, but isn't there a way to apply an ACL without autopropagation that doesn't involve winapi?

Thanks

Hi,

I keep getting this error message every time I try to add a namespace to display or create a new namespace. 

"The namespace cannot be queried. not enough storage is available to complete this operation."

This is on a 2008 R2 server with a 2008 R2 DC. 

Please help. 

Hi,

As the title says: Error message "A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | # { } % ~ &", - invalid filename error, but no invalid characters.

This is a problem who suddenly appeared for one user in a large network. He has a Windows 7 client [x86] and the error messages comes when he tried to change name on a shared folder [Windows 2008r2 server]. This is a sporadic problem, suddenly he is allowed to change the file name.

Link to a similair problem:

Anyone got a solution for this problem?

Hi.

Where can I find more information about the Windows Search Service in Server 2012 R2?

I'm evaluating how well Server 2012 R2 would fit as a file server for a customer and even though the Windows Search Service most likely isn't powerful enough for their needs I have to be able to point to some sort of official documentation in order to back this claim up.

I probably missed it on Technet but it's not very easy to search for Windows Search Service either. :)

Thanks.

Hello,

I am having a problem with Storage Spaces - it won't start recovering the mirror set.
The mirror set got degraded because one of SATA ports on the controller went bad (I/O errors with any hard drive on that port).
After the hard drive is reconnected to another port, Storage Spaces still shows the drive as 'Retired'.

I can unmark the disk by running Set-PhysicalDisk -UniqueID id -Usage AutoSelect

Then, I can access a Simple (non-mirrored) thin-provisioned virtual disk located on that physical disk, and there are no I/O errors in Event Log, or any other errors.
But after I attempt to initiate Mirror set repair (Repair-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName mirror), the physical disk becomes 'Retired' again, although no I/O errors have occured.

Seems that somewhere in the metadata there is incorrect information about actual disk health state, and I need a way to reset it.

Thank you.

Hi,

Can a DFS Backlog stop replication?

I.e

If I put a file in:

Server1\Share

Will it stop replication to the other server? (i.e doesn't appear here when it should appear almost instantaneously

Server2\Share

Thanks - I have 1500 files backlogged..

I have server 2008r2 with services for NFS.

I am having a problem with shareing a large number of disks using NFS.

I have 24 iSCSI 2TB LUNs that I want to share with NFS. I started out by creating a small partition and using empty folders to mount the partitions for the LUNs. I then wanted to share each of these with NFS. It will not allow it. I then tried sharing each folder with NFS and then mounting partitions within them, it breaks the NFS share.

I can assign drive letters to each LUN and then share them, but I am now faced with adding another 7 LUNs and I don't have enough alphabet to get there. Is there some way to do this withoug using some 3rd party tool for NFS server services?

If not, what 3rd party tools are considered well tested and stable?

Thanks,

HJM

We were running out of space on windows storage spaces but we removed a smaller drive and replaced it with a much larger drive. Storage spaces shows 3.16 TB free but windows won’t let anything wright to this drive reporting its out of space? 

IN system manager > Files and Storage Services > Volumes > Storage Pools, all drives show fine, the Virtual Disk is fine showing 3.16 TB Free.

When i try to wright to the drive we get an error saying its out of space. 

Here is the error we get when trying to wright to this drive

 X.XX is needed to copy this item. Delete of move files so you have enough space

I am attempting to use the FSRM Powershell cmdlets on a 2012 server to configure auto quotas.  However I guess I am doing something wrong.

Even though there are built-in templates and I have added the one I want manually and have created an auto quota from it, they do not appear to the cmdlets and the cmdlets keep throwing CimException when I try to use them to create templates and auto quotas.

For example get-fsrmquotatemplate returns nothing and new-fsrmquotatemplate -name mydemo -size 10MB resulst in 

Is there something I am supposed to do first to set the system up?

I had this issue previously with Windows 2008 R2, and the issue was resolved by KB2663685 and KB2831101.

I've done an inplace update of windows 2008R2 in my file server - DFSR server, and after the update, I get again this problem:

My biggest folder stopped replication after an unexpected shutdown, and backlog count doesn't decrease . It's now more than 1.119.000

I've 5 replicated folder in the same drive unit, for about 2 TB of data.But the small ones replicate without problems

Any suggestion?

Hi,

Yesterday after blue screen on Server ( VMWare VM ) Windows Server 2012

I have a lot of corrupted files on my disk ( enabled deduplication )

I have a message in system log file that i should start Full Scrubbing job to recover corrupted files.

Afted Scrubbing Job finished i have a message:

And a lot of messages with ID: 12800 about:

How can i restore my files?

Thanks

Hi There,

Massive shot in the dark here but I am struggling with a pretty major issue atm.  We have a production file server that is hosted on the following:

Dell MD 3220i -> iSCSI -> Server 2008 R2 Hyper-v Cluster -> Passthrough Disk -> Server 2012 R2 File Server VM

Essentially 3 times now, roughly a month or so apart.  The file server stops accepting connections.  During this time, the server is perfectly accessible through rdp or with a simple ping.  I can browse the files on the server directly but no-one appears to be able to access the shares over SMB.  A reboot of the server fixes the issue.  

As per a KB article I removed nod antivirus from the server to rule out a conflicting filter mode driver after the second fault.  Sadly yesterday it happened again.

The only relevant errors in the servers log files are:

SMB Server Event ID 551
SMB Session Authentication Failure

Client Name: \\192.168.105.79
Client Address: 192.168.105.79:50774
User Name: HHS\H6-08$
Session ID: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Status: Insufficient server resources exist to complete the request. (0xC0000205)

Guidance:

You should expect this error when attempting to connect to shares using incorrect credentials.

This error does not always indicate a problem with authorization, but mainly authentication. It is more common with non-Windows clients.

This error can occur when using incorrect usernames and passwords with NTLM, mismatched LmCompatibility settings between client and server, duplicate Kerberos service principal names, incorrect Kerberos ticket-granting service tickets, or Guest accounts without Guest access enabled

and

SMB Server event ID 1020
File system operation has taken longer than expected.

Client Name: \\192.168.105.97
Client Address: 192.168.105.97:49571
User Name: HHS\12J.Champion
Session ID: 0x2C07B40004A5
Share Name: \\*\Subjects
File Name: 
Command: 5
Duration (in milliseconds): 176784
Warning Threshold (in milliseconds): 120000

Guidance:

The underlying file system has taken too long to respond to an operation. This typically indicates a problem with the storage and not SMB.

I have checked the underlying disk/iscsi/network hyper-v cluster for any other errors or issues, but as far as I can tell everything is fine. 

Is it possible that something else is left over from the NOD antivirus installation?  

Looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further.

Thanks

This warning occurred in several seconds after the Windows Server Backup start. Our backup job finishes successfully. That server is in provisioning without a heavy workload, and we have not experienced any problem yet. But we do not want to face any problems due to this error in the production environment.
All disks of the server are managed by the LSI MegaRAID controller, which doesn’t report any errors in the disk system.

it is Windows Server 2012 with the latest updates.

I am running server 2012 standard.  When I go to Server Manager --> File and Storage Services --> Volumes server manager does not display the available volumes.  It just says "Loading data" forever.

THis is causing issues with my backups because I am also unable to run a server backup using windows server backup because it never gets to the point where it displays a list of drives to backup (i assume for the same reason that Server Manager is failing to display volumes).

Same story with powershell.  When I run "get-wbvolume -All" it just hangs and never returns anything.

Unfortunately there is not anything being logged in event viewer or any error messages to indicate why... it's just not doing it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
