Hello, I have server 2012 R2 installed on a VMWare virtual machine as a classroom demonstration server. Through the VM screen I have added 3 5GB SCSI drives to this machine. In disk management I added three 200GB VHD virtual drives to the machine. All are unallocated in disk management. Storage Spaces shows a primordial pool and all six drives with the proper sizes, with Unknown Media. When I attempt to run the storage spaces 'new pool wizard", I am unable to go past the first screen of the wizard. This screen tells me that there are "no groups of available disks".
Please help me solve this so that I can show my students how this works.
Thanks,

We have the network file storage on Solaris 10 with some files in it.
Problem
With upgrade to Windows 10 the following things started to happen:
If I attempt to copy a small file from the storage it goes through with no problem.
If the file is large >100MB windows shows the copy progress, after the copying is complete it says
"You require permission from STORAGE\username" to make changes to this file and aborts the process. The funny thing is -- it actually have read the file already. I confirmed that there is no access restriction on the server side with hex editor.
If I use hex editor to directly edit the file on the storage I can totally read the full content of it.
I assume there is some time of check time of use problem which only manifests itself for large files.
I double checked Windows 7 or Linux do not have such problems with my NAS.
We just discovered a nasty problem on our Fileservers running Windows Server 2012 R2 in a Failover Cluster:
Is there any known issue that describes the following problem?
We can not create new shares using the Cluster Administator or using Powershell if Deduplication is enabled on a volume.
It is possible to create shares without any troubles on volumes without Deduplication enabled (clustered and local).
All efforts lead to the error message: Error 50, "The request is not supported"
I Found the this error message which is the same with or without gui in the Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational Log:
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational

Thankfully there is a workaround: It is still possible to create the share using the explorer GUI.
Any ideas? Is there a hotfix for this?

I have a Windows 10 Storage Space Parity volume, SSParity, running on a pool of USB drives. It has a status of "Warning - Reduced resilency: check the Physical drives section." One of my 3TB drives, SS07, died and is listed as lost communication. SS automatically reallocated the data to other drives and SS07 in the GUI now reads 0.00% used with "Warning - Preparing for removal."
SS07, the dead drive, is listed as retired. The Parity pool, SSParity, is listed as degraded. Using the GUI, I have attempted to "Remove" the drive but get an error message, "Can't remove the drive from the pool." Detail message reads"Drive could not be removed because not all data could be reallocated. Add an additional drive to this pool and reattempt this operation." I have added a new 5TB USB drive to the pool, but get the same message. I have repeatedly attempted to use
Powershell to repair the Parity volume - to get it out of the "Degraded" status, but the repair only gets to 2% and stops. Monitoring the Storage Spaces GUI, I see that SS automatically repeatedly attempts to repair the Parity volume, but again,
only gets to 2% and stops.
I normally only use the Windows 10 Storage Spaces GUI, but I have been searching the internet for solutions and have tried the Powershell commands mentioned. Still, I am unable to remove this 3TB dead and retired drive, with 0.00% used listed, even after adding a new 5TB drive.
Any help in resolving this issue much appreciated.

We have a file share on a server and users with read-only access. We've determined that under certain conditions, they can keep a folder inside the share from being deleted by someone with permissions to do so, even an admin.
Steps to reproduce:
I have tried multiple ways of deleting the folder, including the GUI, powershell (remove-item -recurse), and cmd (rmdir /s). All of them fail (interestingly, rmdir will delete all subfolders but fails at deleting the top-level folder you targeted).
This seems like a bug to me - a user with read-only permissions by definition should never be able to place files or folders in a state they can't be deleted or otherwise manipulated by those with permissions to do so.

Hi:
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller. Upon user domain logons from workstations, they get a file share mapped as L: to \\server\users\username (typical Home Folder/user share as configured on Users' Profile tab in AD Users & Computers).
I setup a new computer for one of the users. On the new machine, the user reported that the files in the share at \\server\users\username were old and different from the same share on the old computer.
On the server, at Advanced Sharing Options > Caching for the "Users" share, I changed setting from avail. offline to "No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline." I waited a day but files on old computer apparently still not synced up to server and thus new computer still showing old versions of files.
So, on old computer, I moved (true move, i.e. copy and delete) newest version of files from share to local folder. Then I made sure the new computer showed empty share, which it did. Then on the old computer I moved the files back into share, figuring that would sync the latest versions up to server and then new computer would access latest versions.
However, the old and new computers now have the old versions. We've lost the newest versions since the old computer doesn't have them either. I don't understand how when I copied the new versions from the local folder back to the share it reverted them to the old versions.
I've mounted numerous restore points from the server backup but they all appear to have the old versions of the files, i.e. apparently the old computer was not syncing the files up to the server for some time and since user always worked on that computer they were not aware the server did not contain the latest version.
Any ideas how to access the newest versions of the files in this scenario? Are they possibly cached somewhere on the old computer, i.e. if I'm right that offline setting/file sync is the culprit, where is the local cache?
Thank you!

Good day everybody,
I have some problem with the DFS Replication.
Every I create Diagnostic Report, always show the warning/error message like this :
"The DFS Replication service has restarted 10 times in the past 7 day"
Is it can take affect on the replicated to and from the server for long time?
Or maybe there are solution for this problem?
Please, help me to fix this.
Thank You.
Hello,
I don't know if I'm in the right place however I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with Windows 7 and 10 Clients connected it.
I have set up a shared folder with DFS which includes all user data and shares, I have enabled sync for clients that need it via gpo however it also syncs the shared drives folder which I don't want, I need it to only sync the redirected folders which is the users. And also I'm an admin I have access to client redirected folders however if I ever access one of theirs then it would automatically sync it which I need for it to only sync the redirected folders of the current user. How could I do this?
This is my folder structure if it helps:
D:\Share == DFS == \\DOMAIN.internal\Share
Folders within "Share"
All_Share == Mapped Drive
Admin_Share == Mapped Drive
User_Data == Redirected Folders (Where most accounts are location to be synced for their account only)
Temp_Users == Redirected Folders which are not to be synced
All of these folders that are accessed are synced which the only one I need to be synced is User_Data and only for the user that has logged in and if an admin access another users folder for it not to be synced.
Hope this makes sense, I'm not very good at explaining :)
Thanks
Here at work we have a storage server (windows server 2003) VM in Hyper-V. We recently installed a new VM in Hyper-V with server 2012 R2 and would like to migrate our storage server to this new VM. We have a a virtual HD allocated to the 2003 server with all of our shares. Would the following steps work for migrating between VMs?:
Copy Volume registry info from 2003 Storage Server
Shutdown 2003 Storage Server
Allocate the VHD to the new VM (2012 R2)
Import the Registry info to retain all shares and permissions
Update the IP on the new VM to match the old VM.
Done....
Does this work or should I approach it differently?
Hi,
I have enabled DDP on my 2012 box. It only have archive data on there, so good candidate for DDP. The box has 16GB of RAM, 11 of which is available at any one time.
I am getting the Insufficient memory error. I have checked the NTFS Quota and have made the registry change to ensure it knows it can use all of the space available.
However I am still getting the error. I was able to run the job manually through PS ISE for the first time (as it was not deduping when run as the scheduled task) and it deduped (got 30% savings) however whenever the scheduled (and manual) jobs run, they are still generating this warning.
Optimization job on volume E: (\\?\Volume{8639d667-f469-4dd1-98a5-1c11eec99e6d}\) was configured with insufficient memory.
System memory percentage: 25
Available memory: 4080 MB
Minimum required memory: 7182 MB
Any suggestions?
PS: It has started appearing on another server. 2012, but only 4 GB of memory. Applied the same fixes and was able to do the manual run for the first time, but scheduled tasks jobs are generating the warning and completing in about 30 seconds.
I am having trouble copying files from an administrative workstation to a server share I created on a server VM using Server Manager. Originally the share was created when all of my servers and workstations were in a workgroup. Since then I have joined the workstation and server to an Active Directory Domain. Even though the permissions on the share says my administrators account has "Full Control" permissions on the share and I am logged in as the domain administrator on the workstation I receive a permissions error when I try to copy & paste from the workstation to the server share in File Manager. Anyone know what I need to do with the permissions to get this to work? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have a 500GB volume on Windows Server 2012 R2, with around 80GB of free space. I have Shadow Copies configured on this for a few months with a snapshot taken 3 times a day, every day. I have set a limit for the snapshots of 50GB.
When I attempt to look at the 'Previous Versions' I only see the past few days to restore from. What's more, when I view the properties of Shadow Copies, and click the 'Details' button, I see
Volume: E:\
Used: 5.26GB
Limit: 50GB
I want Shadow Copies to use all 50GB to give a longer history for file restores - however it never uses more than 10% of the volume size, despite me specifying a custom limit of 50GB.
What could the problem be?
Thanks.
Simple set up -
2 servers set up on WAN
3 drives (G,H,I 4TB each) - replicating with DFS.
Had a minor outage on one side for about 4 hours and one of the groups (Drive I) didn't recover.
Drive G,H are both caught up and happy... It wouldn't resume and was stuck at about 35% It just wont move - after trying to get it to resume I decided to remove it all on Server 2 and start over. (Server 1 is primary).
Steps I have done to blow it away (I) and start over.
- Stopped DFS Services on both servers
- Deleted replication group I from dfs management console
- Delete DFS folder targets on both servers
- Removed DFSR folder on I drive on both servers
- Deleted DFSR folder under system volume information both servers
- Server 2 deleted everything from I Drive and recreated folder and share
- Made sure that AD entry was removed - ADSI Edit under System > DFS-Configuration
- restarted DFS Service on both servers
- Forced replication on all DCs - repadmin /syncall /AePdq
- dfsrdiag pollad on both DFS Servers
- Recreated DFS Target and replication group
--------
All DFSR folders etc recreated fine but nothing replicatin
Ran this on the server -
wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path DfsrReplicatedFolderInfo get replicatedFolderName, State
Results
Server 1 (primary) shows state 0, Uninitialized
Server 2 - state shows 2, Initializing
Been this way for a couple hours - no files replicated to server 2
Debug log on server 1
Mostly just a bunch of these....
20160516 13:48:21.798 3720 SRTR 957 [WARN] SERVER_EstablishSession Failed to establish a replicated folder session. connId:{F88C9CF6-BC32-4747-AB8C-06BFF576F6F9} csId:{E862F3E3-C463-4DB3-B269-478F4F375E06} Error:

+ [Error:9051(0x235b) OutConnection::EstablishSession outconnection.cpp:471 3720 C The content set is not ready]
Again - Drive G and H are replicating, fully caught up, no issues... just this one drive is being a pain since it had essentially a dirty shutdown. I am not sure what I missed when trying to start from scratch. Nothing in event logs other than informational good messages I would expect to see - ie established a connection etc.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello..
I have a file server (Windows 2012 R2) and deduplication service is enable on my both volumes (D & E).
I have a bout 3500 corrupted files on my both volumes. I run this commande on both drives but it couldn't repair any corrupted file :-(
Start-DedupJob E: –Type Scrubbing -full
Start-DedupJob D: –Type Scrubbing -full
Anybody faced this issue before ? How Can I repair corrupted files ?
