I need to know what is the difference. Usually, if you browse to the share and browse into it and then click the properties of the root folder permissions it shows you what the actual root folder permissions. Now they are different.

I log into the server and go straight to the folder that is shared and click in the open area, it is set correctly, Only system, Server administrators and allowed group. When I go thru the network share and right click the same spot and check the Security Tab permissions, it shows all the default permissions. Everyone, Creator Owner, Users, Domain Admins, Server administrators, and systems. 

If I try to change the permissions going thru the share, it says it will overwrite the root share and tells me to log into the server and change it that way. <g class="gr_ gr_671 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="671" id="671">Well</g> I do that and it is already set correctly. 

What is going on?

Hi everyone

I am using Windows Server 2016 and I am trying to setup different FTP for different users.
My case:
I have server with assigned domain called: mydomain.com
I have created on IIS Manager two FTP sites.
1. First FTP is assigned to aaa.mydomain.com on port 21 with example user group called: FTP Users
2. Second FTP is assigned bbb.mydomain.com on port 21 with the same user group.
This 'FTP Users' group contains just two users: User1 and User2.
Then I go to TotalCommander and try to connect to each FTP.
The user name fallows this pattern with '|' character.
So I tried to connect on:
aaa.mydomain.com|User1
aaa.mydomain.com|User2
bbb.mydomain.com|User1
bbb.mydomain.com|User2

Now my question:
Why I can connect to bbb.mydomain.com on both users and none on aaa.mydomain.com.

I dont think I have made some mistake like missing letters because I have even Copy/Paste values from working FTP.
So could it be because of the same ports? Or something else?
In my opinion it should work on the same port because it has different domains assigned.
BTW
- My firewall is opened for 21 port so I am sure its not the case.
- Basic authentication is enabled.

Please help me, I would like to understand this, but I have no idea what to try next...

Hi,

I asked this question in the security forums and they suggested I post it here.

I need to have File System Auditing turned on to monitor my file servers.  I've got my SACLs setup monitoring domain accounts.  However, every time a backup runs my security logs are overrun with audits from my backup software.  The audits are all from the System account (not being audited) and the ObjectName is \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy...  I removed all my SACLs and it was still being audited.  It didn't stop until I turned off the Audit File System GPO.  How can I perform my necessary auditing of the file system without auditing what the backup software is doing?

We are testing EMC Networker and IBM Spectrum Protect right now and both of them are doing this.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi guys,

Been banging my head against the wall about this one for couple days and I was not able to find a solution so hopefully someone here will be able to help. I am trying to set a quota on a subfolder that each of my users has.
Right now the subfolder called "desktop" and it can be found in each of our users' network drive. For example

F:\users\james\desktop
F:\users\marry\desktop

We have about 90 different users that are all in the F drive but when I am trying to set a quota that will go to F:\users\username\desktop I am unable to and I am getting an "invalid path" message.

Any idea to work around it?

Hello Everyone,

This is very URGENT, please HELP when you read this message.

I had 3 Domain Controller: 2012 Primary, 2012 Secondary, 2003 secondary 

The 2003 DC is also a file sharing server.

During the rename process, for some reason,  I "Deleted" 2003 DC  out of DC roles.

After the migration completed, all servers/workstation are able to see and login to new Domain Name.  The only server that NOT login to new domain name is 2003 DC/FILEsharing

As of now, the old 2003DC/Filesharing still has permission set from old domain name which is "MAF1"



The problems I had now is some users start loosing the access permission to the file sharing.

How do I connect this old DC/Filesharing to new Domain name with all the share permission from new domain.

Please help as I need to fix this ASAP.

Thanks inadvance

Hello,

I recently wrote a script to gather and monitor the "StorageReliabilityCounters".

After checking on it recently and reviewing the values I noticed that some not all HDDs have enormous CorrectedReadErrors:

How can this be?
How can the values even go up and then down again?

The attached JBOD-Storage has about 40 such drives and about 20 drives that show acceptable and believable values.

Does someone know what could be causing this issue?
I am thankful for any advice.

Regards
Paul

Hello,

I have setup dfs replication between central office and disaster office from Server 1 (central) to Server 2(disaster) both running Windows 2012 R2. The replication was running smoothly for 6 months.one day i found out that replication has been stopped for 1 week.nothing was replicated. I restarted Server 1 nothing changed replication will not happen.Then i restarted Server 2 and replication started to replicate files.But it stopped after a while without replicate all new files.Then i tried to just stop the DFSR service (instead or restarting the server) but the service will not stop and i got an error that service cannot be stopped.Then i just taskkilled the process and it stopped.When i started the process replication started again until next time that stopped again without replicating all files.I checked event log on both servers and no error (after service is restarted and database checking first and second step 2218 event.Then i disabled dfrs connections from dfs management,then deleted the replication group completely,manually deleted the dfsr folder on both servers and then recreated the replication group. After i recreated the replication group and initial replication finished the same issue occurs.I have 3 backup tasks running during the day (acronis advanced), these backups are running out of the scheduled replication time but i still get events 5014 that replication has been stopped due to backup or restore and after 14 seconds another event is logged 5004 that connection has been establised.Health reports and propagation reports running with no errors.
I am at the point that i have to manually restart DFSR service by first kill it with taskkill and then started so my files are replicated to Server 2. The problem is that every time i kill the service when is started has to check the database for consistency as it was a dirty shutdown (killing the process).
does anybody has an idea how to solve this issue?
any help will be welcome.

thank you

Users are unable to save files into shares on our file server via Windows Explorer.  

GPO hands out the network share to all users.  When user browses to a location within it via Windows Explorer and right-clicks and tries to add a new file, error is : 

"W:\ refers to a location that is unavailable.  It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network".

Workaround:  Browsing through the UNC path allows the user to save files normally.  Opening Word and clicking File/SaveAs then browsing to the same location also allows the users to save normally.

DFS is not in use.

I've done plenty reading on this and the following don't help.

- turning off UAC on the client

- Recreating the GPO (including with the IP address in the share)

- Disable antivirus

Another suggestion was to disable SMBv2 and v3 but we can't do this as it impacts other systems.

We recently rebuilt our file server (same Data drive, but rebuilt the OS and attached it).  File server name is new and old fileserver name references the new name via CNAME which pings back as expected.

Any assistance welcome.

Hi,

I have a Windows 2008 R2 AD and client system. As far as I know, I know very little about Windows, I've set up everything correctly. When I log in to the client with my AD credentials I don't have any issues. But I'm trying to access and NFS export from a Linux system that is using the same AD server to authenticate users to access that export. I can mount the export just fine from a Linux system but when I try to mount it on the Windows 2008 R2 client I always get: Permission denied. I looked at a network trace and it appears to be failing doing a GETATTR right after the mount succeeds. The reply to the GETATTR says: denied and the guy looking at the error on the Linux system is saying that the GSS context for the GETATTR is empty. 

How would I troubleshoot this issue? The documentation on using "Client for NFS" with AD is either non-existent or I just can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi,

I have been copying several folders between two servers with DFS and NTFS permissions were copied as well. Now I need to use the second server, where the folders were copied and I have a problem with one of the folders. NTFS permissions cannot be changed (only in this folder) and even althought the users seems to have "Modify" permissions they cannot save files, only read them. If I push "Edit" button, buttons "Add" and "Remove" are dissable and also with "Advanced" button when I push in "Change permissions" everything is algo dissabled.

I am connecting with the administrator user that has all permissions.

Could anybody help me to solve this problem?

Hi! Some kind of strange behavior occurred while using our 4-nodes S2D cluster.  After some connectivity problems (nic teaming bug or, maybe, something else) cluster shutted down, storage pool became "Unhealthy", Operational status "Read only", Reason - "Majority Disks unhealthy" with all Physical Disks "OK" and "Healthy" status. Storage Enclosures and Storage Subsystem are Healthy as well. December commulative update was installed, servers rebooted many times, Cluster and pool were shutted down and brought up again - all with no luck. Logs:

Hello guys,

My problem related with DFS Replication and i don't want to do any mistake and damage my data.

I have 2 File Servers 

FS01 and FS02 which use DFS Replication for specific Folder.

Suddenly in the FS02 i can't find shortcut and can't open DFS Replication Console.

When i open Roles i can see that already installed.

But when check Logs from FS02 has lost te communication and can't replicate with FS02.

It is safe to uninstall the Role of DFS Replication of FS02 and install again to resolve the issue with Console or i will have big problems with my data?

As i can see in Logs this happened at 19/12/2016 and i don't want to loose 2 days of work.

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. Delay in milliseconds

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?

I can not connect to my Server 2012 FTP site using FileZilla. I can ping the IP just fine. I can also connect if I turn off the firewall on the server. I ran the command "netstat -ab" and I can see that port 21 is open.

If I turn the firewall back on even though port 21 is open I can't connect.

Any suggestion?

another thread reads:

"From the description, if FileIntegrity is set to Off, it will not trying to "examines other copies and trying to recover a disk error from a healthy copy" - however it will still do the "auto correction" which is its default behavior. The "auto correction" behavior is similar to a check disk in NTFS - which is not rely on Fileintegrity"

so, does "auto correction" correct bit rot, or do i need to recover bit rot error from a healthy copy which is only done when FileIntegrity Enable is set $True??

is "auto correction" always enabled?

what is difference between "auto correction" and "FileIntegrity" checking?

does the following command:

Set-FileIntegrity H:\ -Enable$True

enable file integrity checking for all current and future subdirectories and files on H:\ ??

i ask because i have used the command above but when i check individual files they all say FileIntegrity Enabled is False and i was not expecting this behavior and i haven't found it explicitly documented.

Hello everyone. I am testing out iSCSI and when I try to resize (extend) the virtual disk, I get the following error:

The specified file path or its parent virtual disk path was not found. In a failover cluster configuration, virtual
disks can only be created or imported on shared cluster disks.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Iscsi...rd errorRecord):IscsiCmdException) [Resize-IscsiVir
   tualDisk], IscsiCmdException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : *:System.IO.FileLoadException:00000000,Microsoft.Iscsi.Target.Commands.ResizeIscsiVirtua
   lDiskCommand

I typed in the following command within PowerShell: Resize-IscsiVirtualDisk -Path D:\iSCSIVirtualDisks\LUN01.vhdx -Size 4.5TB which gives me the above error.  The system is a Dell 730 with SAS attached JBOD (MD1400). It's stand alone so I'm confused as to why the error references shared cluster disks.  The server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Core Standard.
