Extremely weird file share issue

August 8, 2014, 12:48 pm

We are having a very weird issue when trying to access file shares from a remote site. If we use the UNC path (\\servername\sharename\folder) we never have the problem.   Also, if we go to the drive letter and click through the folders, we don't experience the problem.

The problem only arises when pasting the absolute path into windows explorer (ex. L:\foldername\foldername). Once we do that, it hangs for a second and then sends you back to the initial share, and the path in explorer shows <drive letter>\.\.\ (ex. L:\.\.)

As the jpg attached shows. For security rules,  I had to block the share name /server name

I have never seen an issue like this. It only happens from 2 remote offices. Other remote offices are fine

Redirecting network share connections

August 8, 2014, 5:40 pm

We have a file server that is being decommissioned. This question is not about redirecting users to another server, which is often accomplished with a DNS alias.  What we need to do is post some instructions for people still trying to connect to this server.  What I'd like to do is redirect any incoming file share connections (regardless of what share name and sub-folder the request is for) to a new share on the same server.  By default, Windows clients receive an error if the exact path they're looking for is not present.  With web servers, you can redirect a url to a different url, even when the original url doesn't even exist; I'm looking to do the same thing with network shares.  I'd prefer to do it within Windows itself, but would entertain 3rd party server apps too.

Thanks,

Rich

DFS Namespace 'Namespace cannot be queried. Element not found'

Hi,

I've got a domain setup with four DFS namespaces setup to allow easy access to the files. However something has happened which has stopped the namespaces from working.

I've deleted the entries from ADSIEdit on all but one machine, I can't do it on there because it isn't a domain controller. I have however deleted the DFS Namespace entry in the registry and rebooted all servers.

And if I try to recreate the DFS Namespace from any of the servers I get a error message saying "The namespace server \\SERVER\Share$ cannot be added. The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" - Despite the domain being active and all servers and computers are able to access other resources and each other.

Thanks!

Server 2003 Software RAID-1 Fail - System won't boot

Have a Windows 2003 Server with software RAID-1, and the primary drive failed.

I tried editing the boot.ini of the 2nd drive but all I get is a black screen and blinking cursor.

The drive had 2 partitions. One of them shows up when we plug the drive into a PC, but the 2nd partition is unrecognized.

Boot.ini was:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=" "

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect

I tried adding this after:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS=" "
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect

Any ideas?

Where is the "File Service Resource Manager" hidden in Windows 2012R2 Essentials?

Hi All,

I am running an W2012R2 Essentials VM as AD and file server. And I want to add/change certain quota templates. This should be done via the FSRM role in MMC. The FSRM role/feature is installed and running. However, there is no entry labeled "File Storage Resource Manager" under Server Manager/Tools.  Neither is there a FSRM addon that can be loaded into MMC. What am I doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Windows Search Service indices on Server - When is it accessed from client?

I am playing around with the Windows Search Service on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials with some Windows 8.1 clients.

Under which circumstances is a search from a client accessing the file indices on the server (thus finding a file on a server share)? Does the share need to be mapped to a letter or is it e.g. sufficient to be logged into the domain?

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

August 12, 2014, 10:29 am

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished.  For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know which direction I will go.  I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time.  DFS can stay installed for maybe future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.

Here's a few details of the environment....

1.  DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present.  But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project

2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server.  Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least, and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble.  This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server.  The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications, futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.

3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends.  The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.

4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Which kind of permission will lost after re-build Windows OS

Dear professional guys :

I have to rebuild my File Server (Win2008R2) because of hardware issues.    But I am not sure which kind of permission will lost after re-build it.  

This server only have 1 share folder named 'sharefile' and its share permission is simple (only domain user can read) but we had deployed its NTFS permission before.   I know we can backup its ntfs permission by icacls (it is really a great tool).  But I just confused which kind of permission will lost ??   Whether domain user permission will be kept as before ?  

I don't think NTFS permission information was saved in OS, it seems saved in file/folder properties.    

Do you have any good opinion ?    

I searched many docs and books but really can't find any useful information. 

Thanks in advance.

I have setup quotas in File Server Resources Manager, when I test sending emails, it works ok I get email  from FSRM, but users doesn't get email when they reach quota even when they are on 100%. When I check Source Template Limit for each user I can see that system sends email, but users not getting any email.

All users have email set in User Properties in AD.

What can be wrong?

I never left an open problem....I search, dig and ask, until it's solved....

Why DFSR primary server is still on "Uninitialized" status?

Hi,


I created a DFSR replication group and my primary server is still on "Uninitialized" status after 2 days. The second server (member) in in "Waiting for initial replication" status.

There are just 2 server in the replication group:


Server01 (Windows 2008 R2): replicate Folder01 of 300 GB and is the primary
Server02 (Windows 2008 R2): member server, waiting the replication

I check in server logs and there is no error. On all DCs I see the replication group in ADESIEDIT.


When I create a health report I can see for Server02: 

300000 Backlogged Sending Transactions
310000 Backlogged Receiving Transactions


Server02 already contains a part of Server01 because replication group is recreated (Was deleted and recreated).
So I expect that replication goes faster and Server01 just update Server02 with new files or more recent files.

There are my questions:

1- Why it takes so long time for the primary to initialized the files and start replication? Is that normal?

2- Why so much backlogged shows on the report? Both servers should just replicate the delta no?:

300000 Backlogged Sending Transactions
310000 Backlogged Receiving Transactions

Deleting conflicted/deleted folder in DFS

Hello,

My DFS seems to be running correctly on the 3 servers. However, on some of the larger folders (100GB+), there are a very large number of files in the deleted/conflicted folder in the DFSPrivate folder.

Should this be concerning? Can I simply go in there and clear out that folder without harming anything?
