When i try to Create a New Name space i am getting this error:
\\ domain\namespace: The namespace server \\ server\namespace cannot be added. The specified domain either does not exsist or could not be contacted.
We were able to add and remove namespaces just fine but now we are unable to create them anymore and get that error. we currently don't have any active namespaces yet.
Hi,
We are facing the issue with NAS storage access. We have a NAS storage which have got some shared folders. Users access the folders from their PC's. We are facing the issue that when we try to access the share with IP\\192.168.1.1 it gives error that the "attached device is not functioning" but when we try to access as\\servername it works fine.
I have taken netmon trace while accessing the drive as IP and as Hostname and some of the highlights are as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When accessing through IP
1. Client -> Server: SMB: C Negotiate, Dialect = PC NETWORK PROGRAM 1.0, LANMAN1.0, Windows for Workgroups 3.1a, LM1.2X002, LANMAN2.1, NT LM 0.12, SMB 2.002, SMB 2.???
2. Server -> Client: SMB: R negotiate, NT LM 0.12 # = 5
3. Client -> Server: SMB: C session setup & X, NTLM NEGOTIATE MESSAGE
4. Server -> Client: SMB: R session setup & X, NTLM Challenge message error code 22 Status More processing required
5. Client -> Server: SMB: C session setup & X, NTLM Authenticate Message Version:V2 Domain:domain, user:username,workstation:PC1
6. Server -> Client: SMB: R session setup & X NT Status: System Error Code 563 Status DOMAIN Controller NOT FOUND
After that it again goes back to point 3 and continues like that

The domain Controller which is there in that site is Windows 2008 R2.
I have a machine running server 2012 Standard. I have it set up with 2 partitions:
Drive C: (50 GB)
Drive E: (50 GB)
Drive E: is the one in question. When I view the properties for this drive it tells me that I only have about 8.94 GB of free space remaining. However, when I open the drive and view all files and directories I am only seeing about 10.6 GB of space are used. I have the folder set to show all hidden and system files. I only use this drive for file storage.
Anyone know why it would tell me that there are only 8.94 GB free?
I have several other virtual machines running the same OS without this issue.

Hi All,
I have a 2003 32 bit server and it had a shutdown yesterday. First thing I noticed is that teamviewer connection is not opening ( and it was 10 minutes before ), and then when I connected remotely server was fresh after restart.
I have checked Event Viewer and there is nothing there that could tell me why did it restart.
Is there any way of checking why it shutdown without having to restart it again? Is there any log files that can tell me what happened?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I have a domain controller that I would like to decomission and remove. It is also one of three namespace servers. How can I remove it as a namespace server? It actually isn't sharing any files in the namspace on the server.
Thanks,
Hi all,
currently we are expecting some strange problems with our fileserver. It is a Windows Server 2012 server with newest hardware. After one to two weeks uptime, Windows 7 clients cannot load their explorer window. It takes a huge time while the green bar in the address bar is trying to load the explorer overview and finally stops with a blank explorer window.
The shares can still be accessed through UNC commands and the fileserver can be reached with a ping command. This error doesn't occur when opening the explorer window on another server.
On the fileserver I can see a lot of open files called "\msftewds".
I have found an article of microsoft describing this problem but there was no final solution for me:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822219/en-us
The only workaround for the moment is to restart the server (what is not that easy because it's productive). After a restart the "\msftewds" files are gone in the open files overview.
Appreciate any help. :)
Best regards
Dennis
Roaming profiles and redirected folders do not seem to work for our environment. They often become troublesome and cause much help desk time and resources.
Is there a way to have a roaming profile and redirected folder configuration however have the local workstation have the primary copy and have the "server side" version be a backup?
This would seem to allow the user to have a constantly updated local copy and also have a backed up version on the enterprise server side available.
Hello,
This error keeps popping up on users desktops. It's extremely Intermittent.
Users try and create a new folder on a network share and they're unable. they can drag a new folder from their desktop in no problem.
If they close the explorer window and reexplore to the location they often find a new folder created even though the error below popped up.
Sever details 2008 R2.
Users running win7 x64
Just to confirm, this is not a permission based problem.
EDIT: Sorry my account doesn't allow pictures?
The error shown is-
Unable to create the folder "new folder"
The system cannot find the file specified.

Hello:
I've managed a few windows file servers over the past few years ranging from (server 200 to 2012 R2). Some of the groups in the organization that I work for have a fairly complicated categorization system for their data. Sometimes the path to a file is nested in folders with really long file names, sometimes the directory names are fairly small but the are quite a few levels of directories before you get to the target files. I've come across problems where a user is not able to delete or rename a file because the path plus the file name exceeds the 256 character limit. Normally I will either rename the long folder names to something shorter or map a drive to the parent folder to shorten the path and this has worked well in the past.
Recently however, I have come across a problem where the file name itself is actually over 256 characters long. In these cases I haven't really been able to do much since there is no way to shorten the path. One thing that I have tried which has worked only part of the time is to open the dos command prompt and use the dos short name instead delete the file. Like I said, this works well but mainly just when I am dealing with one single file. Sometimes I have directories full of these files so using this approach is not efficient.
I had read an article a while back on how windows uses internal path prefix to be able to reference drivers stored in the system even if the path to the driver files exceed the 256 character limit. It looks like the way to do that is to refer to the file using the following notation: \\?\c:\path\to\long\file\name.txt . And it is not supposed to have a limit. It does not work at the command line and when I tried that using explorer it changes the path to the regular path without the '\\?\'.
I have a particular file server that has TBs of these types of files that I need to delete. However, I haven't found a way to do it. I've read online about free applications that claim to do this (ie. unlocker) but I was hoping to be able to use a native OS feature to take care of this issue. I'm fairly confused as to how these files were able to be created in the first place when just the file name itself exceeds the maximum character limit? Is there a way that I can prevent this from happening? is there anything in server 2012 R2 that addresses this problem?
Thanks,
RA
Our primary DFS server is unable to access DFS shares on itself. \\localserver\share. All clients (Windows 7) and all other servers can access the namespaces on\\localserver\share and the affected server can access namespaces on all other DFS servers\\server2\share even ones it replicates with.
This is an issue because we have software on this server that rely's on accessing the namespace via the UNC path\\localserver\share.
It was working up until a couple of days ago and we believe it stopped after applying the latest round of Microsoft patches to the server although this has not been verified as the cause.
As well, yesterday the server BSOD'd in the afternoon.
Finally, we are unable to access \\localserver\C$ from any client or server.
**** Additionally
The server crashes randomly with Stop Error 0x3B, dfsc.sys. This is on Server 2008 R2 Standard.
Hi,
We have windows server 2008 R2 envoirment for our customers but we are having an issue. One of our customers makes scans with a printer to a network mapping. But for some reason something it takes a while for the scan (pdf) to show up on in the folder.
Now you can do 2 things.
Wait for the file to show up or edit a text file in the folder to 'refresh' it. Because after you do this the file shows up. Does anybody have any idea what is causing this?
We tried this fix: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b50d1400-252e-4a6e-b3a9-5276cf9093c7/files-delay-in-showing-in-network-share but no luck.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Folks,
How I can download windows storage server 2008 standard - I have a registered DELL Powervault Nx200 with Certificate of Authenticity for Windows Storage Server 2008 64-bit Basic and the full product key attached to the server.
The servier was purchased some time back at auction and came without dvds, the assumption being the OS was already installed on the drives, this has turned out not to be the case and DELL has advised they no longer have copies of the Windows Storage Server 2008 64-bit Basic OS as they have moved on to more recent versions.
Can you advise if I can obtain a copy of Windows Storage Server 2008 64-bit Basic to allow server to be configured ?

Take following directory:
D:\Directory\Sub\
D: has explicit permissions and are passed to sub directories.
D:\Directory\ has inherited and explicit permissions.
D:\Directory\Sub\ only has inherited permissions.
I'm using robocopy to make an exact copy D:\Directory\ on a new drive, including ACLs and ACEs, with the following syntax:
robocopy "D:\Directory" "G:\Directory" /e /sec /log:logfile
But not a ACL is copied over. I end up with plain "User" and "Administrators" ACLs on the new directory.
This is being done on a file server, and I'm using a domain administrator to perform the action in an elevated command prompt.
It might be worth mentioning that the storage is a SAN (IBM V7000). The D drive is a raw device, the new drive a plain VMDK.
