ALL APPLICATIONS PACKAGES group missing on Server 2008 R2

$
0
0

Hi All

I am using a 3rd party app PDFTK.exe to combine pdf files into one pdf file.  The app works without incident on a Server 2012 R2 system (app is running from the Sever on a workstation in a client/server environment) but does not work on the Server 2008 R2 system.  The difference between the two setups (in the PDFTK folder permissions) is the presence of the ALL APPLICATIONS PACKAGES group on the 2012 R2 server and the absence of this group in the 2008 R2 system.  Since the error message is logon failure when invoking the PDFTK app on the 2008 R2 system I am assuming this missing group (on the 2008 R2 system) is the culprit.  I have looked in vain for the procedure regarding the adding of this group but none of the procedures found has worked.  Is it the case that this group does not exist on Server 2008 R2 and my "logon failure" is not being caused by this "missing group"?  I should also add, the PDFTK app is being invoked from a vb.net program (same environment on both Servers)  One other note if I run the vb.net program directly on the Server 2008 R2 system PDFTK works without issue.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Respecfully,

windows 2016 dedup enabled volume not accessible after Server reinstall

$

Hello everybody,

I’ve reinstalled my windows 2016 1709 Server, now the files on my ntfs-volume with deduplication are not accessible.

The Server is a backup repository server, so I can’t access my backups in the moment.

Checkdisk has reported no errors, the folder structure is available, but all deduplicated files are inaccessible.

I’ve reinstalled the server with windows 2016 1607.

Does anyone know if the NTFS-dedup has changed from windows 2016 1607 to 1709?

I can’t find a 1709 iso-download in our volume-license-portal, so I can’t reinstall with 1709.

In the moment, I try to get access to the files by installing windows 2019 1809.

Any idea how to get a iso with windows Server 2016 1709? Or any Idea how to get access to the files again?

Thanks

Guido

I have a shared folder with specific permissions and I just wanted to customize some subfolder's permission not to inherit from the parent folders.

I have already done that using advanced>uncheck "include Inheritable permission", then I added some specific users to the list. so the users now have full permissions on the folders and sub folders but when they want to edit the folders lets say creating new files  it says "you need permission to perform this action". Not sure why with full permission, it shows this error?

any help will be appreciated!

After an in-place upgrade from 2016 to 2019, dedup service refuses to start with the following error. I can still access data inside the drives, but dedup doesn't work and I get errors stating the same on the server management console for files and storage.

This is the only related event error:

Event 7024

The Data Deduplication Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:

I have the server patched to the latest. Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Storage Replica - General Understanding and Issue with PowerShell cmdLet

$

Hello,

we are evaluating Windows Server 2016 Storage Replica to replace a 3rd party product. We used this evaluation example to get a head start and 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-replica/stretch-cluster-replication-using-shared-storage

but created a two node cluster only were both cluster nodes have its own set of iSCSI disks. We are also aware of the FAQ:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-replica/storage-replica-frequently-asked-questions

After a few tests I came to the conclusion each SR Group / SR Partnership has its own Log disk and it's not possible to assign more than one SR Group / SR Partnership to a single Cluster Role. Is this true? I assume the Log disk can become a performance bottleneck in this case.

We try to use Powershell to configure the SR Groups and SR Partnerships. One use-case is to add an additional disk to a SR Group. I learned I do have to remove the SR Partnership before I can modify the SR Groups. Nevertheless, when trying to add another disk I get a strange error:

New-SRGroup -ComputerName SR-Eval-01 -Name SR-Group-01 -VolumeName D:,E: -LogVolumeName L:

Set-SRGroup -ComputerName SR-Eval-01 -Name SR-Group-01 -AddVolumeName F:

Set-SRGroup : Unable to add volume for replication group SR-Group-01, detailed reason: The system cannot find the
file specified.
At Line:1 char:1
+ Set-SRGroup -ComputerName SR-Eval-01 -Name SR-Group-01 -AddVolumeName ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_WvrAdminTask:root/Microsoft/...T_WvrAdminTask) [Set-SRGroup], CimException
+ FullQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 2, Set-SRGroup

I tried Clear-SRMetadata already, removed the iSCSI disks, created a set of new disks, and reinstalled the Storage-Replica feature already, but it made no difference.

It would be gread if someone could provide some help for my two issues.

Kind regards,

Jiriki

Retire and Replace DFS Member Server

$
0
0

I'm in the process of retiring an older DFS server that's running Windows Server 2008. Currently, I have 2 namespace servers replicating all DFS shares. DFS is setup as AD integrated with 2 sites (site A and site B). Site A is running Windows Serve 2016 and it will remain. Site B is currently running Windows Server 2008 and I have a new server running Windows Server 2016 with the DFS roles installed. Both sites are connected with a VPN tunnel of 5mbps.

My question is when I add the new namespace member, should I add each namespace share with the "Add Folder Target" option and allow the replication to complete for each folder before I add the new server as a namespace server with the "Add Namespace Server" option?  I'm trying to reduce the load on the network and I'm not in a hurry.  It's my understanding that if I add the new server as a namespace server 1st, it will automatically start to replicate all of my DFS shares and I'd like to do this in stages.

After the setup of the new Windows Server 2016 in site B, I will retire the old Server 2008 box.

Thanks for any input.

Guidance:

You should expect access denied errors when a principal accesses a share without the necessary permissions. Usually, this indicates that the principal does not have direct security permissions or lacks membership in a group that has direct access permissions. To determine and correct the permissions on the specified share, an administrator can use the Security tab in File Explorer Properties dialog, the SMBSHARE Windows PowerShell module, or the NET SHARE command. You can also use the Effective Access tab in File Explorer to help diagnose the issue.

Applications may generate access denied errors if they attempt to open files in a writable mode first, and then reopen the files in a read-only mode. In this case, no user action is required.

If access to the share is denied and this event is not logged, you can examine the file and folder NTFS/REFS permissions.

This error does not indicate a problem with authentication, only authorization.

Large number of open file handles on fileserver (Server 2012R2) after user's rds session has long been terminated through log off

$
0
0

Hi,

we do have an rds farm with roaming profiles (not profile disks) consisting of 6 terminal servers ("srvts001" to "srv006" 2012 R2), 2 domain controllers ("srvdc01", "srvdc02" 2012 R2), 1 SQL/Fileserver ("srvsql01" 2012 R2).

Roaming profiles are stored on srvsql01 in share RDS. Oplocks are disabled, directory caching is disabled.

Everything was running without problems for 1 or 2 years. Recently (about 2 weeks ago) users began complaining about being logged on with a temporary profile. Investigation showed a lot of open file handles from previous (no longer existing) sessions on the file server.

E.g. user1 had logged on to rds one day and logged off in the evening (not just disconnected, really logged off) and when he logs in the other day on the rds farm he is logged on with a temporary profile due to the profile service being unable to access the roaming profile as it is (event log) "in use by another process".

Looking at the fileserver's open files we can see that a lot of files of that user profile (and of other users, too!) are shown as open - all with read option and no apparent locks.

When user1 loggs off these locks stay! Manually closing the open files on the file server allows the user to log on to the rds servers normally. Subsequent logging off may or may not create those stale open file handles.

We have no clue as to when these enormous amount of open file handles (we talk about 100s of files per user) happen. It seems to be at random and not hitting every user.

Has anyone ever met a similar problem? Or at least an idea on how to prevent logged off users to still have open files on the file server?

Any answer pointing in the direction of a possible solution or source of this problem is greatly appreciated!

Migrating file server

$

Hello!
I need to replace our old file server. I also would like to create a domain based DFS namespace. 

The old server is running 2008 R2.
The new server will be running 2012 R2.
All server are running in Hyper-V environment.

Summary of requirements:
1. The path to files needs to be intact since we have shortcuts in mail, sharepoint and so on.
2. The permissions must not change.
3. There are too much data to copy. I would have to buy more storage and end up with a lot of unused storage after migration.
    I do have access to a NAS for temporary storage if it helps.

I had a plan but it doesn't solve the storage issue?

1. Set up a new file server with DFS.
2. Robocopy a test folder from the old fileserver to the share.
3. Create a DNS alias and test access to the share with it. The DNS alias would be changed to the old fileserver name after full      migration and keep the paths intact.
4. After verification of permissions and paths do a full robocopy.
5. Shut down the old server and update the DNS alias.
6. Update linked paths where it is possible and remove alias?

Is there a fancy way of doing this more easily?

Cannot Create DFS Namespace with error "Specified Server cannot perform the requested operation"

We are trying to configure new file server mirrors with DFS + DFSR on them and our existing file servers in our three environments. Sandbox-Dev-Live. All are under the same domain. I was able to successfully create a namespace from the "new" sandbox-FS02, \\domain.net\sbox\, and had no issues getting replication up and running and all was looking sunny and easy.

In "dev", however, things are not so easy. When attempting to create the \\domain.net\dev namespace, I receive an error error on both dev-fs01 and dev-fs02. For the sake of simplicity here I'm leaving everything default. Not changing anything with shared folder location, details, or path. The shared folder does not exist before creation. Default path of C:\DFSRRoots\Dev is being used. "All Users have Read-Only Permissions" is checked. Domain based, with 2008 mode checked. 

The namespace in question has never been successfully created and there are no associated registry entries for the namespace on any DC.

The error in question is as follows:

"\\domain.net\dev: The namespace server \\dev-fs01 cannot be added. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation".

There is no associated EventViewer Log Error, on either file server or any domain controller within the domain.

I have done a lot of troubleshooting already in terms of network connectivity between the servers and the PDC, permissions, verifying NETLOGON shares, AD replication... out of ideas at this point. I can provide any (sanitized) information that is desired about the environment or the error.




Server 2016 DFS migration

I am migrating DFS shares on old file servers to server 2016. I can add the members based on existing memberships using powershell but when I try to set the membership to read only using powershell I get the following error:

Set-DfsrMembership : The read only property is not supported. The read only property is not supported.
At line:1 char:1

As a work around I have been manually setting them to read only using the DFS Management pane. Can anyone explain why I would be getting this error and how to work around it? I have tried setting it to read only when I set the other DFS properties and I've also tried setting it independently in a separate command. I am using the same variables to set the other DFS properties without issue.

Cannot access shares

Hi,

We have Windows 2012 file server. This is just a windows server and folder are shared with NTFS permissions. Not ftp.

One of the user is not able to access the shared folders. The user is able to access the shares from other pc. Only this pc is having the issue and we cannot format the pc as the pc is working perfectly for other users and their shares.

I have removed the permissions and re added the permissions. Still the user is having the same issue. I have uninstalled antivirus and no firewall is there. I can access from other pc and other users can access their shares from this problematic pc.

Kindly let me know the steps to resolve this issue. The client is using Windows 10.

MPIO tab missing

Hi. I have a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V server which shows FC SAN disks as SCSI. I have uninstalled/reinstalled MPIO feature but the MPIO tab is missing in the Disk Properties window.

I also see 4 instances of each disk.

Specifically, it shows in the title bar of the Properties window: NETAPP LUN SCSI Disk Device Properties.

All my other hardware-identical servers in this cluster, attached to the same storage, show: NETAPP LUN Multi-Path Disk Device Properties.

I do not know how to find and add the hardware IDs, but not sure that will help. I've got to be missing something obvious but I cannot find it.

Thanks!

printer manager

Hello, Expert,

Half year ago, remove  printer manager from Domain. because we found plenty of printer as re-direction in  Domain PCs.

Recently, we install one big business printer on one workstation(windows server 2008R2). and set up as share printer.  Domain users share this printer for their works.

Today found plenty of printers (even Adobe pdf, microsoft XPS etc, and some older printers which already removed long time ago)

deployed  to Domain computer.

how can we remove these redirected printers? I can remove from each pc. but I am afraid of they will automatically come again.

how can we stop and clean up the printer deploy server in Domain?

(No printer server in The Domain, How domain deploy these printers(already removed long time ago)

Is there any remaining not clean up completely?)

shall we re-add printer service again and delete the printers from the printer server and remove the printers service from Domain again?

tks n brgds

Server 2012 Standard
Hosts AD, PDC etc.

Shares access from clients (Win7, Win10) will randomly 'freeze', and will not become available again until a server reboot

SMB client log on the server is showing error 30809 described as <Guidance: The server is responding over TCP but not over SMB. Ensure the Server service is running and responsive, and the disks do not have high per-IO latency, which makes the disks appear unresponsive to SMB. Also, ensure the server is responsive overall and not paused; for instance, make sure you can log on to it.>

There are no error logged in the applications log or system log.

Any ideas as to cause or remedy?

Thanks, David L.
