Storage Spaces Direct on Win 2019

$
0
0

We have a 6 node S2D cluster and it will not allow us to create Mirror-accelerated parity volumes. This is after i have successfully created 8 volumes prior to this.

No matter what options you select or place in powershell we can not create the correct volume.

Thanks for any input.

I tried to add images, but this will not allow me because this is my first post. Please let me know how I can add info to this post.


Upgrade to Server 2019 storage spaces problem - not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match

$

0

I upgrade a server from 2016 to 2019. After the upgrade one of my Storage Spaces drives went missing. The drives are showing in Device Manger but aren't showing Disk Management and the Storage Pool is gone. At first I thought the problem was a cheap controller (4 Port SATA in home test server) wasn't being supported in Server 2019. I swapped out with a LSI SATA / SAS card that has certified drivers. Still having same problem. All 4 disks are showing this error in device manager:

Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_ATA&Prod_INTEL_SSDSA2MH08\5&10774fde&0&000400 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

Last Device Instance Id: SCSI\Disk&Ven_Msft&Prod_Virtual_Disk\2&1f4adffe&0&000003
Class Guid: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Location Path:
Migration Rank: 0xF000FC000000F120
Present: false
Status: 0xC0000719

This doesn't seem to directly be Storage Spaces issue but since they were that way in 2016 I figure it might be related. Anyone have any suggestions?

Windows 2019 Slow SMB Performance

I just migrated from Windows Small Business Server 2011 (Windows 2008 R2) to an new environtment, containing an new Virtual Windows Server 2019 File Server. 

We've cleaned up all group policies, WMI Filters etc, which are no longer needed.

The network is a small network, which contain the following specs:

-Windows Server 2019 AD Server, with File Services
-Windows Server 2012 R2 Server with File Services (for Test purposes)
-Windows Server 2016 Server with Exchange 2016
-Windows 10 Professional Clients
-Network 1Gbps
-Active Directory Windows Server 2016 Level (Domain and Forest Level)
-Sysvol migrated to DFSR

Hardware Server:
HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10
128Gb Internal Memory
8 480Gb Solid State Drives (RAID 5)

Now the problem is as follows:

On the Windows 2019 Server, accessing files (Word, PDF etc) is terrible slow. For example, when a client try to open an PDF File on the Windows Server 2019 on a share. It takes about 15-30 seconds to open Acrobat and the specific file. The Client itself has 8Gb RAM, 256Gb Solid State Drive, Windows 10 Pro and 1Gbps Network.

If i move the share, containing the files on the Windows Server 2019 server, for example to the Windows Server 2012 R2, opening the file takes less than 1 second!

I spoke various people, and they all say, it has something to do with the different SMB Protocol.

Please help,

Windows 2019 Storage Space: Slow Sequential Read Performance on Mirrored (RAID 1) Volume

$

0

While I am quite happy with the random read / seq. write and random write performance, sequential read on a Mirrored Storage Volume is somewhat strange - it looks like only one out of the 2 disks was serving my I/O requests. Is there any thing I need to check, or this is just a "normal" behavior of SS that's not quite normal?

Please see the below simple comparison I did between SS Mirrored and VROC RAID 1. Unfortunately not all slots on the M/B has VMD enabled so SS needs to come into the picture.

SS:

2x Intel P3700 2TB - Mirrored

SEQ1M QD=16 T=1: Read: 2757.57 MB/s   Write: 2014.33 MB/s

SEQ1M QD=1 T=1: Read: 1157.53 MB/s   Write: 1770.58 MB/s

Random 4k QD=32 T=16: Read: 2997.89 MB/s   Write: 1752.23 MB/s

VROC:

2x Intel P3700 2TB - RAID 1 via VMD

SEQ1M QD=16 T=1: Read: 5579.43 MB/s   Write: 2029.85 MB/s

SEQ1M QD=1 T=1: Read: 1732.4 MB/s   Write: 1920.70 MB/s

Random 4k QD=32 T=16: Read: 3282.03 MB/s   Write: 1727.10 MB/s

SMB 3.1.1 connection slow for file shares on Server 2019

$

Hi,

I have a problem with shares on file server windows 2019.

When i open a shared file and make changes, the process of saving takes too long even some times "Not Responding".

I manage to find out that the problem is when i make SMB connection to the file server with "Dialect" 3.1.1.

When i disable SMB2 on the file server and the connection to the file server is SMB1 ("Dialect" 1.5) i have no issues.

But the problem is that Win10 and newer versions of server do not have enabled SMB1 by default.

BR,

NTFS Corruption EventIDs needed

$

Hello,

after studing the following MS article, I´m searching for the needed event-id´s in case of checkdisk detects some corruptions in file system during its on line background scan, so restart is needed to correct it while the volume is offline.

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh831536(v=ws.11)

-> ...Corruption correction: When the scan is completed, Windows Server 2012 informs the administrator (by using events and the management consoles)....

From my last years in IT business, I know the eventid 55, which I be informed about, but are there more and/or changed with the new version (ok, since 2012...) of checkdisk?

Thank you!

Access denied trying to delete DFS share target folder

$

Hello,

I am a Sys Admin trying to delete a DFS Share folder from DFS Management and I get an "Access Denied" when trying to delete it. I am a Domain/Enterprise admin.

A little about the set up. DFS was created back in 2007 with DFS(domain based) domain level 2000 by a former employee. We upgraded our overall Forest to 2008 functional level. I also want to delete the entire name space and recreate it so it will be at 2008 functional level(DFS Exported/Imported). I have done the following to now avail.

- Added myself and domain admins to "Delegate Management Permission" On the namespace.
- Added permissions to it in AD Systems DFS Conf.
- Repadmin to synch DCs
- Restarted DFS Services

These shares are currently be used by end users(although problematic). I just want to make sure I don't run into problems when trying to delete the namespace and recreate them. I have not problems trying to delete a shared folder on a DFS share I created on a different Namespace.

Please advise.

Server 2019 - Event ID 10000 - Unable to start a DCOM Server {9C38ED61-D565-4728-AEEE-C80952F0ECDE}

$

Problem:

This error is periodically recorded in the System event log:

Event ID: 10000
Source: DistributedCOM
Event Data: Unable to start a DCOM Server: {9C38ED61-D565-4728-AEEE-C80952F0ECDE}. The error: "0" Happened while starting this command: C:\Windows\System32\vdsldr.exe -Embedding

This error appears when DFS-R is installed, when the computer is rebooted, every time the DFS-R service is started, and whenever application aware checkpoint-based backups are taken.

Simple reproduction steps:

  1. On a clean computer or VM, boot from the Microsoft-provided Windows Server 2019 media. I used SW_DVD9_Win_Server_STD_CORE_2019_1809.1_64Bit_English_DC_STD_MLF_X22-02970.ISO from the Volume Licensing website.
  2. Install Windows Server 2019
  3. Install DFS-R using PowerShell: Install-WindowsFeature -Name FS-DFS-Replication
  4. Error will now be present in Event Log: Get-EventLog -LogName System -EntryType Error -Source DCOM
  5. Restarting the computer, or just restarting the DFS-R service, will cause another error to be added to the event log.

Notes:

  • Problem affects Core and Desktop Experience
  • Problem affects Standard and Datacenter
  • As of 2019-Sep-17, installing Windows Updates doesn't make a difference
  • Joining a domain, or not, makes no difference
  • Properly configuring DFS Replication does not make a difference

Request:

This issue is related to another TechNet question, but there's no answer there.

I thinkit's ignorable, but I don't really know.  I would like to "fix" whatever is causing this error.  Or, at least get some authoritative comments that it is safe to ignore, and preferably have someone at Microsoft correct the problem that is leading to an ignorable error.

Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

DFS - PermissionDenied when trying to delete a DFS Target folder

$
0
0

I'm trying to remove a DFS target folder in a process to migrate these to a new server.  I get an "Access Denied" when trying to do it from the DFS Management GUI.  I get a "PermissionDenied" when trying to do it from powershell using this command:

Remove-DfsnFolderTarget -Path "\\dfsshare.local\root\folder" -TargetPath "\\server\folder"
I've also tried from the machine itself in powershell using this command, with the same "Access is deneid":
"dfscmd.exe /remove \\dfsshare.local\root\folder \\server\folder"

Any idea what permissions I need to check/change in order to be able to remove this?  (I've also tried it with the share enabled and disabled on the target server.)

DFS, Folder target \\server\foldername cannot be added to the folder. Access is denied.

I'm having an issue with DFS on server 2008R2. DFS worked fine until recently, now when I try to add or remove folders from the namespace I get access is denied. I gave myself explict full control on the drive that hosts the file. Has anyone ran into this issue before that may be able to give some troubleshooting tips?

DFS Synchronization

$

Hi all

I have a question, we have to recreate a 6 volumes in a server (for an error in the disk arrays design), this volumes at present are sincronized by DFS (512 mbps, is just for synchronization) with volumes in other server with exactly same data and size, each volume has 32TB using Storage Spaces and Data Deduplication.

I planned to move the information to another volume in the same server, recreate the volumes and then, move the information to the original volumes, using robocopy, based in previous experiences, DFS resync data between volumes even if the data is already there (file for file).

It's possible to do something with DFS to avoid resynchronization? The data will be copied using Robocopy, I want to use DFS just for resync new data.


Thanks in avance




NFS + NTFS volumes using mountpoints using Linux

$

Hi all:

I'm having very wierd experiences using Mountpoints and Linux (CentOS7)

I have a lot of volumes mounted using "mountpoints", for example, "logs" volume is a 500GB volume mounted in D\Mountpoints\logs and shared using NFS.

I can mount this NFS using Linux with a standard command and it works well

mount -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/logs /mnt/NFS/logs

however, when I create textfiles using Linux the files are created like this "ゾtest.txt" and permissions are a bit confused, when I try to modify this file, the file "dissapear" in Linux, but I can see it in Windows, without modifications, and if I create files using Windows, I can't see it using Linux.

If I create NFS using "driveletters" it works well, for example, If I create NFS shares inside F:\logs or G:\logs and mount in Linux using the same command: mount -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/logs /mnt/NFS/logs

someone had similar experiences using mountpoints and Linux? Recommendations?

Help with Install Oracle Client

Hello,

      I am new to Microsoft Server , and I would like to seek you help and expertise on how to install an Oracle client 12c on the Microsoft Server 2016. I would like to ask if I need to choose a Oracle Client (X64) or Oracle Client (32 bits) . The reason that I am asking that I run a Power Shell script and it is in the WOW6432Node so I guess that mine script is 32 bits and I may need to download an Oracle client (32 bits),. Please help to correct mine assumption.

Also , I would be greatly appreciated if you could give some documentation regarding the download of Oracle client for Window Server 2016. 

Thanks!

Hello,

I know client machines's boot time will be slower in the first time because it need time to install one. However, I would like to know if GPO succeed to deploy software to client machines, will it be still slower down the boot time afterwards.

And do I need disable that GPO if all client machines has already been deployed.

DAC Device Claims

$
0
0

Hello,

I've been having some trouble getting DAC device claims to work, and I was wondering whether anyone could point me in the right direction. 

The environment is configured as follows:

Domain Controllers (hostnames dc01, dc02, dc03)

  • Server 2016
  • Domain and Forest functional level = 2008 R2
  • KDC support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled"/"Supported" via group policy
  • User based claim for attribute "l" enabled for users
  • Device based claim for attribute "location" enabled for computers

File server (hostname server01)

  • Server 2016
  • Shared directory (test_share) configured.
  • Share level permissions configured to allow Everyone full control.
  • File system permissions configured to allow user ab01 unconditional read/execute access
  • An additional ACL is configured to allow user ab01 full control conditional on either:
    1. user.l = "secure" or 
    2. device.location = "secure"
  • Conditional permissions are applied directly via security descriptor (i.e. no central access rules / policies are involved)
  • Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled" via group policy
  • msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes = 0x1c

Client machine (hostname pc01)

  • Windows 10
  • Attribute "location" set to "secure"
  • Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled" via local policy
  • Support for compound authentication set to "Enabled"/"Always" via local policy.
  • msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes = 0x1c

User account (ab01)

  • Account attribute "l" set to "secure"
  • Account supports Kerberos AES 128 and 256 bit encyrption
  • Use Kerberos DES encryption types for this account is unchecked.

Similar to a previous question along these lines (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/1522933d-d004-430b-9251-6f7bcc6891f8/dac-device-claims-not-being-generatedpassed?forum=winserverDS), user based claims seem to work well: When the conditional permission based on a user claim is configured, then user ab01 has full control of test_share.

The effective permissions (evaluated on the file server) also appear to give the desired results: When conditional permissions are configured to use a device based claim (ab01 has full control when device.location="secure"), user ab01 is shown to have full control from pc01, but not from machines where device.location is undefined, or doesn't equal "secure". In real life however, user ab01 only has read/execute permissions when accessing test_share from pc01. Any attempt to create or modify files/folders generates a permissions error.

Various events with id 4626 show up at regular intervals in the logs on the file server and DCs:

        Session Key Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96

        Cache Flags: 0x40 -> FAST

Any advice on getting device claims working (or on how I can find more information about why they're not…) would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance



How to deploy AD RMS Rights policy templates To Fsrm File server Windows Server 2016

$

Gents,

I'm deploying on promises AD RMS with FSRM  and DAC as well, using windows server 2016.

Everything works fine. Except the File management task in fsrm. When trying to automatically encrypt files using RMS Encryption Action it doesn't work I got an error :

File Server ressource Manager 

Error was encountered while running the file management task:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004CF3B

Also the policy templates that has been created on AD RMS Server



didn't show up on fsrm file management task?

I cannot find any document that talk about how to do that? Except some old posts about server 2008 talking about adding some regestry entries! 

I think this is because Microsoft is pushing the world to the Cloud. 

Please advise.
