Storage Space Error - All Drives CanPool = False "Insufficient Capacity"
'm trying to create a storage space, but receiving the error "The Request is Not Supported." I've tried creating the pool using a different combination of hard drives and on two different computers. I receive the same error with all attempts.
I've have run the command get-physicaldisk in PowerShell and all of the drives have a status of False under CanPool. I followed up with the get-physical | FL command and it shows the "CannotPoolReason" as "Insufficient Capacity" for all of the drives. I found some information that you needed at least 1 GB for each drive. The minimum amount of free space on the 6 drives I'm attempting to add is 1.36 TB. The others are all 4 or 5 TB drives. Does anyone know how I can get these labeled as True for the CanPool status? I feel this is the problem, but I don't know how to change the status.

Cannot delete folder because it's open in another process
I cannot delete a folder that's located on a network path because "The file is open in another process". I have managed to recursively delete the folder contents with powershell, but not the root folder itself.
I have ran openfiles.exe on that remote path, did not find anything open under that name.
Tried ProcessExplorer, ProcessHacker, Unlocker, Handle, and other several tools but I was unable to find what's locking that folder.
Note that the folder is shared on an IBM Blade so I cannot connect to it via RPC or other remote means like I could connect to a server (from Computer Management > Shared Folders for example)
Any ideas? Thanks

Does anyone know if there are any other workarounds?

2012 file server - workgroups
I have a 2012 file server. We have several sites in different workgroups that need to connect to the file server. The file server is in a workgroup and can't be in a domain.
Is it possible to connect to file share using the computers username and password? Do I have to create the same username and password on the server. I know in 2003 if you used the same username and password on the workstation and the server it would authenticate automatically but I am not sure that works with 2012. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

Storage Spaces Direct pool isn't properly configured "try running the Enable-ClusterS2D cmdlet again"
Hi All
I tried to test Storage Spaces Direct on two virtual machines on Vmware. I used this guide:
http://www.virtualtothecore.com/en/build-a-microsoft-storage-spaces-direct-cluster-using-vmware-virtual-machines/
I have two virtual dysk presented as a SSD and four virtual disks as HDD per each node. I can create a pool, add it to the cluster, the pool is "Healthy". When I try to create a Virtual Disk, then I get the message "This pool isn't properly configured for Storage Spaces Direct - try running the Enable-ClusterS2D cmdlet again". And there is not any other clue what could be wrong.
Is there any further data do you need to help me?

Remote Share Permissions Strangeness
Posted this in the Office 2016 forum, got pushed in this direction, hopefully someone can assist.
All,
Working through an odd issue I've bumped up against regarding Office 2016 (probably other versions) and saving to remote shares.
Scenario is as follows:
Two domains, no trust between. User A is on Domain A, User B on Domain B. File servers are available on both Domain A and B.
User on Domain B has an account on Domain A, and can connect remotely to share on File Server A just fine. User can create .txt files, docx files, etc without issue (with Right click -> new file). Permissions are irrelevant (set full control to Everyone, direct to user account, etc). User can edit, save, delete .txt files without issue. Freshly created .docx file inherits permissions as expected, and file can be renamed without issue. If user B's 'Domain A account' edits that .docx file however, and saves it, the permissions on the file get blasted, and the NTFS owner becomes unresolvable. At that point any further attempts to open the file from any source gets access denied. I can re-take ownership with admin credentials/elevated token, at which point the security tab shows no permissions assigned. I can re-add permissions (or reassign inheritance) and open the file, and see the data that the user added. This tells me the file is being edited, then permissions changed somehow.
This does not happen if User A connects to File Server B with 'Domain B credentials' and write/save files. Everything there appears to work fine. Both domain file servers are 08R2, both domain workstations are using Office 2016, fully patched. Tested with different workstations, different 'Domain A accounts', different Domain B users, etc. Tested with different shares, subfolders, different permission assignments, etc. Same result, Office alters the Owner/NTFS perms of file after writing data. User can create document on local machine on Domain B, then copy the file into File Server A's share, and file is fine... openable, correct permissions, etc. If user edits that file again however, same result. Perms wiped, owner unresolvable.
It looks very very similar to a few issues with past versions of office, as seen here:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28094803/Microsoft-Office-Access-Denied-Contact-Your-administrator-message-when-saving-to-Network-Drive.html
The above was fixed by a user changing an option on a 3rd party device to prevent the editing of NTFS permissions on files, essentially blocking whatever functionality was causing this.
Other is here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/bae1e32a-b878-4af2-8d27-9b747e11bf21/kb980232-ms10020-problem-users-cant-save-anymore-from-office-2007-applications-to-servers?forum=winservergen
Vaguely related, seems to have something to do with patch incompatibility with very old SMB (1.0) shares. I doubt the cause is the same (most of the information in that technet post is irrelevant at this time) but the symptoms are similar.
Thank you.
EDIT: Forgot to include, symptoms are identical whether or not user's office is signed in or not, and persists through restarts.
Additional EDIT: Symptoms appear to only affect DFS shares. If saved to some_server\share, permissions behave as expected. If saved to DOMAIN\Share, permissions go sideways upon saving. If saved to some_server\DFS_SHARE, same thing happens. DFS for said share is currently set to a single namespace server (so only a single server is being touched), DFS share permissions permit full control to Everyone, and DFS is accessible normally from other domain IP space.

DFS & Roaming Poofiles - multiple sites
I have several 2012r2 DFS servers, which host roaming profiles & user data for multiple sites.Which share you get your roaming profile from is determined by GPO, which is based on which site you log in to.
eg:
Site A Users
DFS NameSpace: \\mydomain\public\profiles-A
\\Site A Server 1\profiles DFS Referrals Active, replicating both ways
\\Site B Server 1\Profiles DFS referrals disabled, replication bi-directional.
Site B Users
DFS NameSpace: \\mydomain\public\profiles-B
\\Site B Server 2\Profiles DFS Referrals Active, replicating bi-directional.
\\Site A Server 2\Profiles DFS referrals disabled, replicating both ways.
Although this works to prevent profile corruption, it means DFS fail-over is a manual process, and it effectively doubles the number of DFS servers I need to support. As our site design is switching from active/active to active/disaster recovery I am looking
at re-doing the design - this is what I have come up with:
-A single set of DFS servers, hosting the same shared folders on each side
-Separate DFS namespace groups set up for each site, which refer to the same shared folder at either site
-replication handled by a single DFS replication group.
So:
Site A Users:
\\mydomain\public\Profiles-A
Folder targets & replication:
\\Site A Server 1\profiles DFS Referrals Enabled, replicating both ways
\\Site B Server 1\Profiles DFS referralsdisabled, replication bi-directional.Site B Users:
\\mydomain\public\Profiles-B
Folder targets & replication:
\\Site A Server 1\Profiles DFS Referrals disabled, no replication
\\Site B Server 1\Profiles DFS referralsEnabled, no replicationThis would ensure that no DFS manual fail-over is needed if users need to log in at site B, and replication should work as normal. Users would not be logged in to both sites at the same time. I have already tested this in a limited setup, and it worked as
expected.
My concern is that I have not seen any documentation about having multiple DFS referrals to a single set of folders. Has anyone had any experience of a similar set-up, or any concerns/tripwires it may have?

Automate DFSR deployment via PowerShell Scripting - Operation Error Occured

However, when I try to do this from an elevated-session (as Domain Admin) to a remote system I receive the error: "Could not create the replication group named "Group". An operation error occured." No where can I see why the error occured.

I want to take the "roaming profiles" off my fileserver
This is my first time posting a question. I have combed through forums for years, I just never have had to post anything. So hopefully I can explain my problem. I am new-ish to the company I work for and so I am inheriting most of the problems that I have.
We have about 300 users that are all set to have a roaming profile. When the file server is down, there are no desktop files, no documents, no music... everything is gone. So in my mind this is the very definition of a roaming profile. Because this causes
me a lot of wasted space and network traffic to load a roaming profile, I would really like to get rid of all roaming profiles. However, the problem is that I cannot track down where the roaming profiles were set up. I have looked in Active Directory under
the user accounts and there is no roaming profile specified there. I have poked around in the group policy editor and it does not seem to be there either. I have also checked to see if it was just a folder redirect that was making this happen. I cant seem
to find where the previous guy set these profile up. Any and all places to check would be great advice. I did however check my local hard drive for the C:\Users\user1\AppData\Roaming folder and it is full of files that are set up for roaming. I just cant
seem to find the setting to turn this off. Thanks in advance for the help.

Disk freezes (Access) for a few seconds during daytime on a 2012 R2 fileserver
One of the disks based on Storage Spaces on 2012 R2 is not behaving well, storing home folders. Several times per hour during the working day the disk freezes up and doesn't respond to requests. The duration of the freezes are random and have been observed
to last up to 70 seconds. It seems like this happens when users are at work and accessing their home folders, not during the weekend.
The freeze is observed in Resource Monitor with zero disk activity on the disk. No apparent events in event logs. A Powershell script running on the server is logging file access time that exceeds one second. See the log below for the first half of 25th October.

We can see that the server occasionally have drops of network traffic to almost 0, while activity drops on the disk to no activity at all (for up to 20-80 sec). See the image below for details. Since the users cannot access their data, the activity drops for
a while because of that, naturally.
We do not know immediately why this is happening. We get lots of complains from users working in applications that use files on the user's home directory. When this lock happens, the whole application freezes and this creates a lot of frustration.
We have initially reconfigured backup to run at 7 pm and fragmentation of the disk is turned off.
We have run the script that is attached here from different admin desktops to the file server. The script is trying to access a file on the file server each second and prints any delays in the log.
Does anyone have a clue to where we could troubleshoot this scenario?

Windows 10 Direct Access and Home Folders
I am mostly an Exchange\O365 person but have been challenged to implement DirectAccess to a client with a small group of users. We have been testing connectivity and all has been working great - business applications connect to internal servers successfully,
mapped folders through GPOs are reconnecting and so on.
The one issue I discovered is with the home folders. In active directory, each user has a home folder setting as below:
The path is configured to \\domainname.local\home\%u
When the users go home, they complain they cannot access their home folders but can access everything else. What I noticed is that if the user closes their laptop and puts the machine to sleep before they leave the office and then go home and login, they do
not have access (it does not show up) to the home folder.
Also if the user restarts their computer at home and they log in without first establishing a wireless connection, they do not have access to the folder but once they connect, log off and back on, they DO see the folder. What I take from this is that home folders
are only mapped during Logon. And I verified this as follows:
User restarts their machine at home and connects to the wireless before they log in. If they wait 20-30 seconds for DirectAccess to kick in, they see the home folder and can access it. But if they do not wait for DirectAccess to kick in, they do not see the
home folder.
So my question is - has anyone experienced this? Is this normal? Do home folders only get mapped at logon?
