Hello - Our school has a shared drive (folder?) on our 2008 server. This is for teachers and staff. We have a group named teachers and staff. We also have a group named students that have their own logon . I have noticed that some student computers can "map the network drive" . I would like to disable student computers from being able to map the network drive.
Thank You
William Corgile
I have an external 2TB WD that I use to copy files to. It needs the drive designation to be Z: When I plug it in, Windows Server assigns it G: I go to manage my computer and reassign it to Z: When I disconnect and reconnect it is back to G:<o:p></o:p>
Suggestions?<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>
Hi there,
On our 2003, domain joined 2008R2 servers, and W7 workstations we cannot access a network share by putting the path in the 'run' box like \\servername\share.
The error that appears is (translated): Network Error. 0x80070002. Cannot find the specified file.
But, when browsing the network via the GUI I can open the share and I'm also able to map the share with net user: y: \\servername\share....????
The XP workstations are not affeted by this problem.
Already checked DNS etc and I am puzzled now.
Anyone?
Hello everyone,
I am observing a strange issue with defrag on Windows Server 2012 R2. There is a hardware RAID volume using deduplication in VDI mode and containing some virtual machines. Deduplication works okay, chkdsk shows no logical errors and RAID is consistent, but defrag reports error "0x80070057 The Parameter is Incorrect" after some minutes or even hours of runtime.
I've tried to search for such error but all I've found was about SSD that do not need defragmentation at all. I have also found an advice to set the CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo to "1" but I am a bit unsure if it is safe in my case.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's a sample output of defrag (sorry for Cyrillic localization):

I have been through hell the past couple days and would like some info on a few things.
Yesterday we went to reboot our Windows 2003 Fileshare server and it simply would not come up due to a bad motherboard (lucky us). Being on a Sunday we had to act fast to get this back up for Monday as our company rely's heavily on filesharing.
LUCKILY we had a full backup of the 2003 File Server.
So, what we ended up doing was building a brand new Windows 2008 R2 Server inside VMware, created the Share drives the way they were on the old server then restored using the backup from the 2003 Server. Everything looked successful and all permissions"look" like they are there but they are not working properly. For example, I have full rights to my User share, I can view everything but I cannot save anything additional, this is happening on every share drive on that server. I created a brand new Share folder as a test and applied the proper permissions and all works the way it should. I tried removing certain permissions and simply re-adding them but that does not work as well. I also notice that the "read-only attribute" is grayed out and checked off for ever Share folder and I cannot change it, is that normal?
Is this because the permissions inside Server 2008 R2 are applied differently than Server 2003?
I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled
However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
Are there any other things I have missed?
Hi
I have a similar question like J_Rod: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7a37e6ed-7e22-485c-a5d1-6460b2c4d63b/mimicing-raid-10-resiliency-with-storage-spaces?forum=windowsserverpreview
Why should I consider using more than 2 Columns in a 2 way mirror Storage Space? For me it makes little difference between a Storage Space with a 2 Column 2 Way Mirroring and a 6 Column 2 Way Mirroring on a 12 Disk Storage Pool (like in the Picture).
Apart from:
big write/reads which are processed by 6 disk in the 6 column configuration instead of 2 in the 2 column configuration
Filling of the disk is not synchron over all disk with the 2 column configuration
therefor i get exactly what I expect of the Storage Space when I use the 2 column configuration and try to achieve the same Result as a classic RAID10 (RAID 0 over X RAID1)

Hi,
Retaining current permissions and ACLs of files and folders in it, I need to copy a big shared folder with a big number of files and folders to another server. I use "xcopy" command with its switches to do the task, but some files are access denied due to manipulation of their permissions and ownerships by users. Can anybody give me some advice how to find these access denied files and folders prior to copying them to new path to fix their permissions? Or how to copy them to new path while they are still access denied?
The big shared folder is on a windows server 2003 machine.
TIA

I have a very small lab environment with a 2012 AD server and two 2012 clients which I am testing DFSR before placing into production.
I can't seem to get a Namespace created.
Regardless if which host I try to create it on, I get the following error:
\\domain\shared: The namespace server \\hostname\shared cannot be added. The user name or password is incorrect.
The wizard does not ask for a username or password.
I am logged in with the domain\administrator account.
The share does get created. I have given Everyone and domain\Administrator full control.
I am stumped and am looking for direction.

Hi, I've been assigned to create 100's & 100's of DFS namespaces on Windows 2008R2 clusters. The customer want it to be automated so I've been trying to create / reverse engineer how to create DFS namespaces in the OS on clusters. With no luck!
I've cheked the Win32_DFSNode class, but there are no evident methods to use... dfsutil.exe does not support creating namespaces on clusters, dfscmd.exe i dont even know what it does... in Windows 2012 & R2 I can see that they have added cmdlets for it, but the customer has 2008R2 so that is also a dead end!
I've been trying to find stuff online and there are lots of examples on how to create the namespaces on standalone machines, but not cluster nodes. Since there is a GUI option for creating DFS namespaces, I would settle for a .Net class or COM object, and I would sort it out in PowerShell.... any ideas, feedback, pointers and so on? Thanks guys!

Hello,
I am aware of the FSMT, but was hoping for a simpler method of moving Windows shares from a 2003 server to a 2008R2 server.
Both servers are virtualized and using a SAN. I can easily move the SAN volume from the 2003 server to the 2008R2 server.
My question is about moving the file share information. KB125996 provides instructions on how to save and restore existing Windows Shares. The article applies to the versions of Windows I am using.
However, the article is not clear if this method can be used to save shares from a 2003 server and restore the shares to a 2008R2 share.
Can I simply create a new 2008R2 file server, move the NTFS volumes from the 2003 server to the 2008R2 server and then use the instructions in the KB to recreate the shares on the 2008R2 server?
Hello,
I have a trust between RIP and RID domains, when I try to give permissions to RIP to one of drives on a RID server, I get the message below. These only happens to a few servers and not all servers.
I look forward to a response!

Hi,
I do have a shared folder in my system with Windows 2003 server installed.
All the systems are distributed across two workgroup in the same network.
The problem is I am only able to delete files or move files of this shared folder using one system in the network and of course with my system too.
What I have to do to give full control access to this shared folder to another system in the network and remove the full control access to any other users.
Thanks in advance.
I hope I am in the correct forum, so please excuse me if I am not. (Newbie to forums)
As I was approaching the end of the day, our User Document Storage Server Drives became full and users were unable to save their documents etc.. So I looked quickly to see what the issue was, and saw a full 70Gb hard drive. Since the years have passed and the growth has mushroomed, 70Gb will not be enough. Looking at the disk management (Sever2008) I noticed that the drives were raid 5.
0=OS etc. C:
1=UserGroup1 Storage (70Gb), 2=UserGroup1 Storage(70Gb), E: (Labeled as Raid5)
3=UserGroup2 Storage(147Gb), 4=UserGroup2 Storage(147Gb), 5=UserGroup2 Storage(147Gb), 6=UserGroup2 Storage(147Gb), F: (Labeled as Raid5)
So thinking that if I were to pull Disk2 and replace the drive with a larger drive, Disk1 would rebuild to Disk2. Thus I would then replace Disk1 with a larger drive and Disk2 would rebuild Disk1. Then I would not loose any data and gain more storage room.
I tried it, and the new drive shows a clean new drive, but Disk1 displays "Failed Redundancy".
So the question(s) is/are - will my scheme work? If so how do I get the new disk setup to Raid5 and rebuild from Disk1?
Thank you.
I was trying to set up the 3TB drive as a mirror for a 2TB drive. It was just fine (showed all 3TB) and when I tried to create a new partition, mirror wasn't an available option.
I didn't understand why, so I tried converting back to basic disk and to MBR (in desperation) and then the drive started only showing as 746.39GB.
Does anyone know how I might get it to show all 3TB again? I tried uninstalling the disk from device manager and reinitializing. I tried "CLEAN" from the diskpart tool, but nothing. It always comes back as 746Gb.
If I can't get it to mirror, I don't guess it matter, so if anyone has any input on that too, it would be appreciated.
Hi.
We have a 2-node WS2012 cluster that has a file server role with couple shares configured.
We're however constantly getting spammed by the following errors in the eventlog:
1) event 1002, source: SmbServer, message: "RKF failure - SRV2 failed to get acknowledgement from Resume Key filter for persistent handle request."
2) SCOM has an alert opened with this description: "SMB client failed to resume Continuously Available (CA) handle as Resume Key Filter is not acknowledging the handle." Per the alert knowledge, we've inspected ResumeKeyFilter eventlog, but it contains only informational message and warnings and none of those are from the time the alert was created.
It appears that I have inadvertently damaged my Storage Space when upgrading from Server 2012 to Server 2012R2 (or maybe it is just a coincidence) and I am looking for help in repairing/recovering my virtual disk.
THE BACKGROUND
1) I built a new Server 2012 system about three months ago (SEP-2013) to use as a file server
2) I created a new Virtual Disk on this system
3) I copied ~5TB of data to VHD-1
4) Everything has worked fine since then - with daily READ/WRITE activities on the virtual disk
THE PROBLEM
5) I recently built a new Server 2012R2 system
6) I transferred the Storage Pool disks to the new system, expecting them to connect/attach without issue - but I was wrong...
7) When I boot the new system, the Storage Pool appears in the Server Manager > Storage Pools GUI (as expected)
8) The "VHD-1" virtual disk appears on the Storage Pools GUI with a yellow "ALERT"... indicating that the VHD must be attached to the system (as expected)
9) When I right-click on the VHD-1 entry, and select "ATTACH", the system immediately hangs and becomes unresponsive - requiring a manual power-cycle to re-boot the system
10) To be clear, I receive no error messages and the four physical disks all appear to be healthy - so the Storage Pool, the VHD and the physical disks all appear to be OK in the GUI
In summary, I attached a "functional" Server 2012 Storage Pool to a new Server 2012R2 system and it became "non-functional" on the first boot.
ATTEMPTS TO DIAGNOSE/FIX
11) I have run all of the following PowerShell cmdlets and no errors or abnormalities are reported
a) Get-StoragePool
b) Get-VirtualDisk
b) Get-PhysicalDisk
b) Get-Volume
12) The system logs do not indicate any errors associated with the pool, the VHD or the physical disks
13) I have tried to use the "connect-VirtualDisk" PowerShell cmdlet to attach the VHD (instead of using the GUI), but the results are the same... the system immediately hangs and becomes unresponsive
14) I have tried to use the "repair-VirtualDisk" cmdlet and, again, the system hangs with the "% repair complete" remaining at 0% for more than 12 hours
15) I have re-connected the drives to the original Server 2012 system that I used to create the pool (in hopes of regaining access to the data) and it now exhibits the same behavior... it hangs when I attempt to attach the VHD
16) I am aware that Server 2012R2 has a new format for Storage Spaces and it offers to "upgrade the storage pool" to the new format (this can also be accomplished with the "Update-StoragePool" cmdlet, but I have not yet attempted that option
because I am concerned that it might make an already bad situation even worse...
17) I have searched the forums and noticed a few references to similar Parity Storage Spaces failures (system hangs), however, they all seem to be associated with NTFS file systems and I am using ReFS... so my situation seems unique
HELP REQUESTED
I am hoping that Server 2012R2 has a more robust set of "recovery/repair" tools for storage pools than Server 2012, and that someone can point me to a path to safe recovery of my data.
