Migrating DFS from old File Servers to Domain Controllers

May 17, 2016, 6:02 pm

We currently have 2 x 2012 File Servers setup as DFS NameServers, running in Windows 2000 Server mode.

As part of some consolidation work we are planning to remove these servers and move the DFS NameSpace Servers to 2 Domain Controllers (1 is 2012 the other is 2012R2).

I've added the DC's into the Namespaces and they work as expected.

I've added the DisableStrictNameChecking registry key to the 2 DC's that will act as DFS Servers and created cname's for the 2 File Servers pointing them at the 2 DC's respectively.

I am unable to connect to the DFS Namespaces using the cnames.  Is there an extra step I need to perform?

I tried using WinSCP tool for uploading data from local drive to FTP site.  It works fine but when I use the Windows FTP commands, I get Access Denied error 550.  I tried changing ownership, permission on the folder and c drive and also turned off firewall inbound and outbound. No luck!  I created a batch file and I trying to call this batch program from Oracle External Job Scheduler.  Any help would be appreciated. 

ftp> put functional.txt
200 PORT command successful.

Export Disk Quota Report

May 18, 2016, 10:57 am

I've run into an issue that I haven't been able to find any reference to after a decent amount of time spent researching.

In Windows Server 2008R2, when disk quotas are enabled, you used to be able to export a quota report to CSV as follows:

  • In the properties for the drive (we'll use C:\ as an example), select the 'Quota' tab
  • Click the 'Quota Entries' button 
  • On the Quota Entries for (C:) screen, click the 'Quota' menu
  • Select Export...
  • The resulting 'Export Quota Settings' dialogue allows you to type a file name, but there are no file-types to select in the drop-down control below.  

This appears to be the case on other Window2 2008R2 servers, as well as Windows 10 workstations I've tested on.

Was this functionality removed by a Windows Update?  Can we get this back somehow?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

How to copy file security permissions from one server to another one by using Robocopy

May 16, 2016, 12:04 pm

hi everyone,

I just got this trouble first time in my life :) I just setup a new 2012 file server and restore the data file from Backup exec. All the folders permission seemed to be correct..we also reconfigured the shared permissions.

Now the problem happens. Users reported that their files open as "Read Only". Because of this, they could not save their files. Then I figured it out...the folder permissions are correct, but the file permissions were not correct.

So...may I ask what is the easiest way to copy the file permissions from the old server to the new server? If I use Robocopy, what syntax should I do so I can just copy the coorect permmsions from the old server, and overwrite/replace them on the new server?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

DFSR Event ID 2104 & 2212

May 19, 2016, 8:27 am

Have 3 servers (all are Server 2008 R2 Standard) that have a bunch of replication folders(we have roaming profiles and .  2 of the servers are getting the error DFSR events 5014 and 5012 and the other server is getting DFSR events 2212 & 2104.  Also took a look at the debug\dfsr.log files and noticed a bunch of errors.  [WARN] SessionTask::Step (Ignored) Failed, should have already been processed. The content set was not found and A failure was reported by the remote partner.

The issue came from when we had got hit with Cryptolocker.  I was able to stop the spread of it by pulling all the computers that had got infected and restoring the server files from backups.  That's when I started to notice files weren't being replicated and we were getting the errors above.

I did some searching online and found some articles about recreating the DFSR database but all mention a different event ID along with it(something to do with the disk being full) which I am not seeing in any of the logs.  So I wasn't sure if this would fix the issue or not.

Not sure the best way to go about fixing this?

Hi All,

  I just set the Quota for my Homfolders and now everyone got 0 bytes free in there H: Drive and cannot save anything?

Free disk Space :1.7TB , 200 Users.

  Steps

1.  create the new quota template using the FSRM - 5GB  ( Hard not soft)

2.  Set the notification percentage to 90, check the “Send e-mail to the following administrators”, and enter an appropriate destination e-mail address

3. use the new quota template to apply the quota to the file system

4.  create the quota using the FSRM

    

When i look at my H: 0 bytes free of 5.00GB ?

We have a Domain that has a trust between two other domains.  One domain works fine but the other is giving some trouble. I can't connect WMI to it, get access is denied. Went through all the steps I know, still doesn't work. I can't browse the network share across the domain. If I do \\SERVER it prompts me for username and password.  Any credentials from the main domain fails. If I am on a PC connected to the trouble domain using the same credentials it works.

Driving me a little crazy...

I'm running the following command on a large dataset (This is to reset permissions on all files below the specified path)

icacls "M:\Archive\*" /c /t /reset

(/c and /t = process all subfiles and folders and continue on all errors)

When i run this command, i get a lots of errors where the path obviously exceeds 260 chars (ie  MAXPATH length), and so the script doesn't reset permissions on these files.

What is the best way to resolve this?

Shared folder resulting in "There are currently no logon servers available to service the login request."

There are currently no logon servers available to service the login request.

Screenshots make the world go 'round.


My issue is as shown above (universalmedica\MNorwood - Domain Admin). The majority of what I have found when attempting to Google this is occurring when the user is trying to log into Windows. As seen, this is not my case. I am attempting to connect to a shared folder on the server above which was once connected and working but now I receive this error message. The same folder, shown in the following screenshot shows to be working (.\NTTC3 - local admin):

LogonSuccess


In attempts to troubleshoot, I have completed the following:

Results for ipconfig/tracert


This was done both prior to removing and re-joining the domain (using domain NetBIOS name as Workgroup name) and after.


    Additional information:
  • I am able to use this same computer to Remote Desktop into this server, running Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • The DNS/DHCP/AD/DC roles are on a separate server.
  • Default pings return in <1ms.
  • Screenshot may show the antivirus is disabled.


I'm pretty much at a loss as to where to proceed. Can anyone assist?

Syncing Redirected Folders

May 14, 2016, 6:59 am

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
