Executed this to disable auto addition of disks to the Storage Pool.

    Get-StorageSubSystem Cluster* | Set-StorageHealthSetting -Name "System.Storage.PhysicalDisk.AutoPool.Enabled" -Value False

Then the sequence of steps is in order

1. Created a Two Node Cluster with two disks on each node.
2. Enabled S2D and application deployed…
3. Added third Node to the cluster (again with two disks) but the intention is not to put the disks into S2D and keep them locally available. But somehow the disks from the new node fall under the Primordial Pool;

Please let me know for how to get them out & assign to the box as local?

yup

hi

where is the documentation stating what storage is supported for hyper-v deduplication ?

looking at running RDSH (session host) VMs. Which I believer falls under the VDI category ?

I've read that you cant use local disk on the hyper-v box for storage tho and it's meant to be presented off of another windows server... ? why? in testing it works fine

I have two servers. The 'upstream' server is getting Database errors for the L: drive. It was still doing the initial replication and has about 4 TB left to go. The drive has free space.

I ran "chkdsk L: /scan /perf" and it did not find errors. The drive still has about 5 TB free. I restarted the DFSR service but I get the same errors.

Do i need to delete the entire Replication Group? I have four other replicated folders with normal status according to the diagnostic report. 

The upstream server is getting the database errors:

The DFS Replication service failed to recover from an internal database error on volume L:. Replication has been stopped for all replicated folders on this volume. 

Additional Information:

Hi I have plan to build s2d two node cluster with 4x 800 12gb SAS Write intensive SSD for cache, 2x960 GB SATA mixed use for performance tier and 10x 2.4 TB SAS 10k for capacity. It's possible to have such scenario. Is it supported?

Thank you OOSOO

Hello,

Server is running SBS2011 based on Server 2008R2.  C: drive is 60GB with 5GB free space.  The C:\windows\winsxs folder is 18GB with folders dating back to year 2009.  Is there a safe way to reduce the size of this folder by getting rid of old data that will never be needed?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am having issues with permissions on a network share. I have created an AD security group and placed some users in it. I have then added this group to the top level folder call 'Company' on a 2012 server and propagated the permissions down through all files and folders.

The advanced permissions for this group are allow on all apart from 'delete' and 'delete subfolders and files'.

The issue is that when users try to amend Excel and Word files, they get an access denied error. They can edit .txt and .png files, so I suspect this to be an issue with Office related files.

After giving the users 'delete' and 'delete subfolder and files permissions', they are then able to amend office documents and spreadsheets.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi All,

I configured hard quota for a folder through FSRM and configured email notification like 85%, did't getting email when quota is breached.

Hi,

I just want to know that does DFS have version history. In 2008 R2 DFS Management version we have is 6.0 and also same version is in 2012 R2.

Is there a way we could find out latest version or EOL..??

Hello,

I have a network share the was moved from a Server 2008 R2 to a Server2012 R2 system. The issue is searching the network files on the new system. I can open 2 explorer windows, one to the old share, one to the new share and search, as an example, *.pdf. On the new share it will list, again for example, 4,000 files, when I search the old share the search returns 165,000 files. Indexing is on, the desired folders are selected, and I have already rebuilt the index several times. This has had absolutely no effect on the issue. **I will not rebuild it again because it takes 36-72 hours to complete** during this time all searching is disabled. This folder is search by multiple users daily. **If "rebuild the index" is your solution please don't bother posting.** For some workstation systems if they check the "Don't use index to search..." box in search options, search in the new network share will list 165,000 files. This does not work for all systems (only seems to work for Windows 10 systems). These folders have 2-way file replication enabled so they should be exact copies. It seems automatic indexing is not adding all of the files. Here is the question, how do Iforce windows to index specific folders and files. I have seen this issue reported in several posts across various Microsoft forums but I have not found a working solution.

I am not allowed to upload screenshots or I would have.

Before install Sophos Central Endpoint, user able to access the shared folder (\\10.2.0.12). After install with Sophos Central Endpoint, user cannot access the shared folder (\\10.2.0.12). 

We suspect the issue from Sophos Central Endpoint, so we uninstall and remove all Sophos components from the server and reboot it. However, we still receive the same error message. 

We have set firewall any to any and check the network all are working fine. We have escalate this issue to Sophos Support, during their remote session on the server, found the issue is not related to Sophos Central Endpoint. 

Please advise. Thank you. 

Hello,

I'm trying to test Storage Replica. I have two servers in separate datacenters and separate domains.

Both machines are Windows 2016 Datacenter Core, build 1709. I'm logged as domain admin and this account is local admin on both servers. There is two-way domain trust.

Hi,

How many workstations ( Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows XP ) can simultaneously  use mapped drives to a Windows server and have open files for read and write on those mapped drives (\\server\cdrive  ) F:

All my searches refer to simultaneous mapping of Remote Desktop, which I do not care.

Hello,

I have a strange request.  I don't think this can be done, but I thought I'd check with Microsoft first.

Customer is running a Windows 2012R2 Standard Server.

They have several templates saved as PDF and DOC in, for example: \\SERVER\Share\Folder\Templates.

They have custom permissions to the Templates folder and its contents.

Every time they get a new client, they want to save a copy of the Templates folder into

\\SERVER\Share\Clients\Client1\Templates or\\SERVER\Share\Clients\Client2\Templates

They would like the "Templates" folder to retain the permissions created in the\\SERVER\Share\Folder\Templates. 

The way I understand it, this can only be accomplished if you cut and paste.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rudy

first of all . all setup was tested and worked awesome setup was

I7 4770k

8GB ram

gigabyte H97HD3 motherboard

Intel I350 t4

server 2016 std

then motherboard burned .. and we changed it . as well as full windows reinstall . new configuration is

I5 7500

Asus Q270M-c

8gb ram

Intel I350 t4 ( same card )

server 2016 std

server intended to perform as VPN+NAT for RRAs . and as file share .all worked fine with previous board . with new one . separately it works

RRAs works fine in any setup . no question there

SMB works ONLY with rras disabled .  if i enable rras even with smallest possible variant ( generic NAT ) .  SMD stops working after 2-3 min . after 2-3 min i can read contents of smb share . but  could not write or read ( technically i can . but speed  of that is so low . so explorer freeze .does not matter rras settings . even vanilla variant ( generic nat )  freeze smb .

1. smb version is 3.1 used

2. no load on cpu or ram while it hanged itself

3. if access share after drives spinned down ( sata link power management ) .disks immediately spins up . but no read/ write is made

4. rest of setting is default ..previous installation was with same settimgs and from same media .. but it worked !

runned out of ideas where try dig it

Hi,

I'm running into an issue which I hope to explain below.

We have an HQ and several branch offices that need rapid file access for certain applications.
The most common files are in several folder that are replicated between the offices.
One folder has specific project information that is used by the branch offices

This one folder is a DFS folder, underneath this folder are 200+ folder links. Every project folder is located on the local file server on the branch office that is used in.
These folders are not replicated as the common folders, because they share the files and multiple (traveling) people will have multiple files open.

When this files is replicated this sharing and the same file open by multiple people doesn't work.When accessing the fileshare on the central location everything is fine.
But when the share is opened from a branch office and it connects to the namespace server in the office, the project folder is empty

hi , good day everyone , my problem is , in my server Windows Server 2012R2 Setting The Folder Sharing With Domain Users only , No Everyone , After I Settings , i Use Other PC To Try Login , But Their No coming out showing Enter Network Credentials , but other sharing folder got show enter network credentials . how to fix this issue ? thanks

Hi!

I have a 2-node Windows Server 2016 failover cluster set up as a file server.

Disks are SAN LUNS mapped as raw devices to the vmware virtual machine.

We have configured data deduplication on the volumes and it seems to work since we have gotten more free capacity on the volumes.

However, when looking in the server manager GUI it most of the time shows no deduplication status at all, and when clicking configure data deduplication the setting is shown as disabled. (The dedup information is visible there occasionaly, but it seems completely random if it shows it at all).

But when running the powershell command Get-DedupVolume it correctly displays the status and dedup beeing enabled.

Anyone else got this problem with server manager? Is there a workaround?

Kind of annoying not to be able to trust the information shown. (I assume that PS is correct in this case).

Hi ! 

We have Hyper-V Windows 2016 server with some virtual servers (in domain). One from these virtual servers is backup server where we have Veeam Backup. Together with this server we have Synology DS916+(homegroup). Everything together work great, to one day, something went wrong and from that day we didn´t see Synology on network via windows explorer, but ping works, and open synology management via web browser works. Something what is interesting, connect to shared folders from local computer in the same network works (win 10). Connect to shared folders (synology) no works only from server ( Hyper-V and any virtual server). Veeam didn´t see synology ,too. 

When we want connect to synology by virtual server, it come with error : "Windows cannot access \\ (synology name / IP address) Error code : 0x80004005 or 0x80070035

but when we want connect from Hyper V error is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired"

We try a lot of "solutions" but not works. 

I am ready reply to your all questions. 

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for all answers.
