Since two days ago I see a lot of errors with Event ID = 3008 in Event Viewer
Error 3008 - The Windows Sync Share service failed to detect changes to a sync partnership. User folder name: \\?\G:\WORKFOLDERS\JOHND; Error code: (0x8e5e01fe) Unable to read from or write to the database.
How to solve this ?
Server restart solves only temporarily (for few hours)...
I have Primary server and IIS site is running. I have created Secondary server and installed IIS.
How can I Sync Web site files from Primary server to secondary server?
Bothe the servers are in Azure and different region/location.
Can any one help me on this issue?
Thanks and Regards

Hi all,
I have a Windows Server 2016 version 1607 (build 142393.2035) which is member of AD domain environment. This server is used as file server and a folder is shared. Under this shared folder there are folders that I'm setting NTFS permissions. I'm adding groups for NTFS permissions and removing usernames including my own admin account. I was able to do this on some folders but not all of them. I remove my account, I click OK... Then I check back NTFS permissions and my admin account is back in NTFS permissions. I cannot remove myself from NTFS permissions. I already checked inheritance, it is disabled. Any ideas for this behaviour?
Many thanks

Hi,
I'm building a storage server with a 12-port SAS3 12Gbps single-expander backplane, which supports up to 8x 3.5-inch SAS3/SATA3 HDD/SSD and 4x NVMe/SAS3/SATA3 storage devices.
The operating system will be Windows Server 2016.
I plan to create a storage pool and a two-way mirror virtual disk with tiered storage, consisting of 4 NVME SSD drives and 6 SAS3 HDD.
In case an NVMe drive would fail, I would have no possibility to first add a new one and afterwards remove the faulty one (because all 4 NVMe slots are occupied).
Could I do as follows?
Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName <diskname> -Usage Retired
Repair-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName <virtualdiskname>
Wait for the repair job to finish; follow with:
Get-StorageJob
$PDToRemove = Get-PhysicalDisk -Friendlyname <diskname> Remove-PhysicalDisk -PhysicalDisks $PDToRemove -StoragePoolFriendlyName <poolname>
Physically remove the faulty NVMe SSD and replace with a new NVMe SSD.
Get the FriendlyName of the new NVMe SSD:
Get-PhysicalDisk -CanPool $True
Add the new NVMe SSD to the storage pool:
$PDToAdd = Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName <diskname> Add-PhysicalDisk -PhysicalDisks $PDToAdd -StoragePoolFriendlyName <poolname> -Usage AutoSelect
Repair the virtual disk:
Repair-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName <virtualdiskname>
If the SSD is recognised correctly (MediaType is SSD), will it automatically be part of the fast tier?
Let's say that, after some time, I'd wish to replace the 4 NVMe drives by a newer generation of NVMe drives. Could I replace them one by one as described above or would that mess up the Virtual Disk?
Thanks,
AG
I'm using Shadow Copy on my drive which contains file share with cca 1 TB of data.
I set the limit for Shadow Copy to 60GB. I also set the schedule to take the snapshot 5 times per day.
My questions are:
1. How I can know how many days (or how many snapshots) I'm covered with thelimit I set ?
2. Is it possible to configure a separate drive where Shadow Copy snapshots are stored ? In this case I could add additional drive for Shadow Copy snapshots and there I could have bigger limit...
Many thanks !

I have 2x 2016 S2D servers with the exact same configuration.
Each one has the following
2x Intel E5-2630v3
196GB Ram
2x Samsung PM1725 1.6TB PCIe NVME disks for Cache (https://www.samsung.com/us/labs/pdfs/collateral/pm1725-ProdOverview-2015.pdf)
Then each server has a 12GB HBA, which connects to an MD1420 in JBODmode. In the JBOD there are
4x Samsung PM1635a W5PP5 1.6TB 2.5" SSDs (https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-poweredge-sas-ssd-performance-specifications.pdf)
10x 1tb 7.2k disks SEAGATE ST91000640SS (these are hardly used as i still have performance capacity to spare)
My CSV is configured with tiered the cache, performance and capacity and my cache modes are HDD - ReadWrite, SSD - WriteOnly.
According to Dell all hardware is up to date both for drivers and firmware.
My Performance tier has 4 columns so i would expect to get performance at least of the 4x ssds (800K iops random 4k read and 280K iops random 4k write). Probably more due to the cache.
However i have booted a machine up direct on the S2D cluster and when i run speed tests on cystalmark i get the following results.
Random 4k Read Queue depth 8 Threads 8 - 101MB 25k IOPS
Random 4k Write Queue depth 8 Threads 8 - 55MB 13k IOPS
Random 4k Read Queue depth 1 Threads 32 - 47MB 11k IOPS
Random 4k Write Queue depth 1 Threads 1 - 28MB 7k IOPS
Using diskspeed and the commands diskspd.exe -t32 -b4k -r4k -o8 -w0 -d10 -D -L -c2G testfile.dat testfile1.dat testfile2.dat
i get 660MBs and 170k IOPS
diskspd.exe -t32 -b4k -r4k -o8 -w100 -d10 -D -L -c2G testfile.dat testfile1.dat testfile2.dat
i get 110MBs and 30k IOPS
These are well below what i thought i should be getting. How can i troubleshoot these issues?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Hello Experts,
I am facing issue with File Share over internet. I have a Server 2016 instance in AWS and I created few Shared Folders on that Server.
I am able to access those Shared Folder over public IP <\\Public IP\Share> from Server 2016 hosted in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud but unable to access the Shared Folder from Windows 10. I have enclosed the Windows Diagnostics Log here.
While troubleshooting the issue, I tried below steps but no luck. Please advice...
Allowed all traffics in AWS Security Group
Disabled Windows Firewall on Windows 2016 as well as Windows 10
Enabled SMB 1.0/CIFS Client on Windows 10
Tried to Telnet on port 445 but it was a failure
Disabled StrictNameChecking and SMB2Protocol on Server 2016. I used below commands:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableStrictNameChecking $False
Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB2Protocol $False

Hello,
I want to apply quota email notifications on some existing folders on windows server 2012 r2. The problem is when I mark more than one folder, the option edit quota properties is not available. Is there some other way to edit gouta notifications on multiple folders. I'd like to mark that folders do not have same quota limit(some are 2, some 5, some 10 gb hard quota...). The second part of my question is... I previously set owners of folder, what I would like is to set qouta notifications so that when some % of qouta is exceeded that also owner of that folder gets notification. So we are clear I do not want to type adress of owner, but insert it as Variable.
Thanks in advance,
Marko
I am having issues with trying to save Word and Excel files to a mapped network drive on local domain. When trying to save the word document or excel file I get the error "Windows cannot access \\Server\Folder..." "You do not have permission to access \\Server\Folder. Contact your network administrator to request access." This cannot be true because the user has full access to said mapped network drive "\\Server\Folder". The user also has access to create a new word document from the network drive "\\Server\Folder" but when opening the document they are not able to save the file due to same error. I called in for Microsoft support and the support agent told me that Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 is not for domains or commercial businesses. I can assume they must have been mistaken. The office application is pre-installed from Dell and it is installed on a Windows 10 Pro OS.
Hi,
I have set up 2 nodes failover cluster using amazon ec2 instances and storage spaces(2 x windows 2016 servers).
After I resize physical disk I am not sure if it is possible to see this change in storage pool.
If I run command Get-PhysicalDisk it is showing to me the same size.
I upgrade a server from 2016 to 2019. After the upgrade one of my Storage Spaces drives went missing. The drives are showing in Device Manger but aren't showing Disk Management and the Storage Pool is gone. At first I thought the problem was a cheap controller (4 Port SATA in home test server) wasn't being supported in Server 2019. I swapped out with a LSI SATA / SAS card that has certified drivers. Still having same problem. All 4 disks are showing this error in device manager:
Last Device Instance Id: SCSI\Disk&Ven_Msft&Prod_Virtual_Disk\2&1f4adffe&0&000003
Class Guid: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

This doesn't seem to directly be Storage Spaces issue but since they were that way in 2016 I figure it might be related. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have 2 storage spaces HDDs (6TB+8TB for a total of 14TB to store our production photos) that are causing Windows 10 to be stuck at spinning dots at boot. There hasn't been recent changes to hardware or Windows update, but a routine reboot caused the PC not to start. Eventually by unplugging components and peripherals one by one I realised if I unplug the two HDDs used for Storage Spaces the system will boot.
But once unplugged and boot into the system, I can't see anything from Storage Spaces control panel screen -- it's empty as if no storage spaces have ever been created (no missing disk message etc). From the logs C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs I couldn't find any errors related to StorageSpaces. Any suggestions on how I could further diagnose the issue?
I need to write this article so bear with me because this is important.
I've been working on servers for almost 20 years now since I was really young in fact, I've been through Windows 9x/NT/2000/Me/XP/03/Vista/08/7/2012/2016/2019 so I do know my way around Windows by now, I also use macOS and Linux extensively.
Back when I was young my idea of a storage server was finding any Pentium 3 around the house hook up whatever leftover hard drive i could find and setup a dynamic raid1 on Windows, which is great because you can then have that machine doing things like running FTP client or downloading files specially when you had a slow internet connection.
A few years later I had a datacentre business. I now have my place here at home and I got a server room for my personal needs, and i'm looking for a storage solution which by now I would assume Storage Spaces would be that solution but it seems the more I try to get into ReFS and Storage Spaces the less happy I become.
So here's my first part of the problem:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/de40dadc-0363-44ab-b67e-f63f087784d6/dont-trust-storage-spaceswindows-2019-with-your-data?forum=winserverfiles
TLDR: Windows Server 2019 Datacenter doesn't work for Storage Spaces despite being the current Windows Server iteration.
But how is that possible? Windows Server has always been the better and more stable version of Windows, it has always served the purpose for businesses and server applications and people rely on it, so how can we not have a reliable storage solution?
ReFS is not available anymore on Desktop versions of windows and you need Windows 10 for Workstations to manage ReFS but to use all the redundancy and resilience features you need Windows Server so as far I'm concerned to get the whole experience you need Windows Server.
I have two storage boxes here in my home, both running Windows Server 2019 Datacenter. Now I did create the storage arrays from Windows Server 2016 because microsoft still hasn't fixed that problem in the latest update which makes me wonder how seriously they're taking their problems with Storage Spaces/ReFS and how concerned they are about our data integrity. But now my second server I literally got 4 5TB hard drives yesterday and put them in Parity, went to sleep and left a network file transfer when i wake up it shows 2 of the drives as failed. I've seen this problem before whenever the access time/latency goes too high the whole array just gives up and crashes so i turned the computer off and back on to fix it, which usually does but now it's just stuck as unhealthy.
So you go to the interface and right click, repair only to find the disks aren't reading/writing anything and the job is 'running' even though nothing is happening:
================PS C:\Windows\system32> get-storagejob
Name IsBackgroundTask ElapsedTime JobState PercentComplete BytesProcessed BytesTotal
---- ---------------- ----------- -------- --------------- -------------- ----------
DASH-H-SV4-STD1-H-SPP-Repair False 00:28:08 Running 0 0 B 32
GB
DASH-H-SV4-STD1-H-SPP-Regeneration True 00:28:04 New 0 0 B 32 GB
PS C:\Windows\system32>
================
Now think of it this way, I have a lot of SAS controllers here that are raid only, i'm actually going out of my way to buy HBAs that support drive passthrough just so that I can use a modern filesystem like ReFS/ZFS to store my data with more peace of mind.
But now, does this look to you more reliable than an old fashioned RAID6? I mean I've had hardware raid arrays for more than a decade and never had anything remotely related to what's happening here, never had to go through all this pain to get my data to even 'show up', rebuilding is as simple as popping in a new drive in the same slot and fully automatic.
Am I missing something? Oh and of course dynamic drives disk manager/software raid that if your server crashes will have to resync for hours for no reason. So should we be asking about me not doing something right or about Microsoft not really doing storage right for as far as I can remember.
I would love to hear some feedback on this and should I start moving my data to FreeNAS or Linux? Or will there ever be a solution to this.
In the official documentation for Storage Spaces on Microsoft's site, the article called "Deploy Storage Spaces" posted 7-8-2018 (which also says it applies to Windows Server 2019) found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-standalone-storage-spaces
In the section titled "Disk Bus Types" it shows support for the following:
- Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
- Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
- iSCSI and Fibre Channel Controllers
WHY is NVME not listed ?
Hi All,
We plan to build Work Folders based on Windows storage server 2016 using HP StoreEasy hardware. We plan to implement on two AD sites. Two Windows Storage Servere 2016 will be configured as DFS servers with two ways replication : \\corpdomain.com\WorkFolders\ .
Users on site AD-1 will be connected to windows storage server located on site AD-1 and users on site AD-2 will be connected to windows storage server located on site AD-2. Work Folders will be installed on those two servers.
Is this configuration supported for Work Folders? Could we use single login url for all users or we should build two separate url for work folders access?
Hi!
We have a 2012 R2 File server, on said server, we have a shared folder, with some subfolders, one of these subfolders have inheritance disabled, and its access restricted to a AD security group. A basic layout so to speak. The security group have full access, aswell as the built-in "Administrators" group on the server.
Under Advanced Sharing on the share itself, "Everyone" has read and change permissions, and the previously mentioned "Administrators" has everything.
As far as I'm concerned, the most restrictive folder access should be the one determining the users access, which in this case is the NTFS security AD group, however, something else is tampering with the permissions.
The issue:
Some users, random users, can still access and read/Write/change everything in this restricted folder, and I cannot for the life of me find a common denominator between these users.
Dear Brothers,
I have an observation, that the Drive presented to my Windows 2012 R2 Server from HP 3Par SAN Storage System, takes long time to format.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Server
- Non Clustered Server - Directly connected to HP 3Par San Storage via Fiber Channel
HP 3PAR SAN Storage Presented Disk:
-Drive T: - 4 Terabytes - Label:(3PAR_02)-Drive T: --- Still formatting for 4 Hours and still not done.
-Drive H: - 4 Terabytes - Not yet Formated
-Drive I: - 4 Terabytes- Not yet Formated
-Drive J: - 4 Terabytes- Not yet Formated
Question:
I believed this issue is more on Windows 2012 R2 matter than to HP 3Par SAN Storage matter.
Is there any thing I ma missing such as missing patches or procedure for this kind of setup?
Regards,
