Permissions error to copy certain type files to a Windows 2008 R2 shared folder from Windows 7

$
0
0

Hello,

I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server on a domain, with some shared folders, and a Windows 7 client joined to the domain. From the client, I can access the shared folders, and create, modify or delete any file or folders, and copy files from local PC to the sared folders. But, with certain file types, like large (about 100 Mb) compressed files, I get the error:

You require permission from <folder owner> to make changes to this folder.

Then, if try to create a file or copy another file, like and Office file, on the same folder it works.

I have checked NFTS and Shared Folder permissions.

The user said that it usually happens with files downloaded from Internet or copyed from a CD or DVD.

Thanks,

Victor Camacho Cuena

Very slow DFSR on Windows Server 2008

$

We need to have distributed file system between two location.
I evaluating possibility to use DFS and two Windows Server 2008 to do it.

I set up two computer with clean installation of system.
The test is on two local subnets, so speed should not be an issue.
Each server is defined in separate logical site.

The DFSR folder I create on one server has 50 GB / 40,000 files.
The initial replication still is not finished after couple of days.
The transfer speed is only about 5kB/s and 3 files / min.
I increase staging quote to 100GB, so it should not be a limit.

I also make simple test of speed between both servers.
I create shared folder on both servers and manually copy files.
The transfer speed is reasonable 5 MB/s (1000 time faster that DFSR).

There is no processor load on servers (0% CPU).
This is test before real use so server do almost nothing else.
The event log shows sometimes 5014 but followed immediately with 5004.

Does anybody have an idea what is wrong?

Unable to create a share on file cluster

I am having problems creating a share on a new 2012 file cluster. I keep getting an error message that "The resources must be online on the same node for this operation". The disk is online according to disk management and residing on the node on which I am trying to set this up. How do I get around this message?

Transfer of large filesover iSCSI reported as complete by OS way before network activity ceases

$

New to iSCSI and trying to set up a Synology RS813 NAS as a backup repository for a 2012.R2 hyper-v host. The iSCSI initiator on the 2012.R2 server connects to the NAS iSCSI target (block based) via 2 MCS connections via different physical network adapters and switches.  The throughput is around 100-140MB/s as reported by 2012.R2 file copy info GUI window when copying very large files (1TB), so is compatible with the expected NAS performance. Rate is confirmed using performance monitor on the logical disk.

However, it is noticeable that the initial 1% of the transfer (and pretty much the whole transfer of a 26GB file) is at vey high reported speed of up to 1GB/sec.  Watching the network activity on both the NAS and 2012.R2 adaptors, the activity starts some seconds after the copy is initiated by the OS and continues for a long time (30 secs plus) after the OS closes the GUI copy info window. 

Write cache is off for the logical disk.  Both network adapters are on an Intel I350-t card with jumbo packets set to 9014 and everything else default (so 512 send buffers).

I'm presuming that there is caching going on at the 2012.R2 end (either OS or offloaded to Intel hardware) but have not been very successful in finding any web-based guidance as I'm not entirely sure what to search for.  Consequently I really appreciate any comments as to whether this is expected behaviour and, given that this is a backup target, whether there are any implications for data integrity during the interval when the OS thinks the file is written but data are still being sent over the networks.

Thanks for helping a complete newbie to this sort of issue.

Migrate DFS to Windows 2012

We are currently running Windows2003R2 as our DFS server. This server has three network drives to address the Department folders and User folders. Some of the department folders are replicating to remote servers. The remote servers are running Windows2008R2.

I want to migrate the Windows2003 DFS server to Windows 2012 in virtual environment. Please advise how I can migrate to new serevr with minimum downtime to the users. I am thinking of splitting the department and user folder to multiple DFS servers. Also advise how I can get fault tolerance and high availability on the DFS servers in VMware environment.

Please advise.

DFS not working over VPN

$

Dear all,

I am migrating a DFS from a Windows Storage Server 2003 to a Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything went fine except one thing.

I cannot access the DFS over the VPN.

Internally everything works.

Over VPN I get access the netlogon and sysvol folder but I get the message \\FQDN\DFSname not found after some time

When the DFS was located on the Windows 2003 Server I could access it over VPN.

So Browsing \\FQDN\DFSname does not work, ping to FQDN works,\\FQDN\ gives me sysvol and netlogon shares.

Any ideas ?

Kind regards,

Kenny


Convert disk from Dynamic MBR to Dynamic GPT (Without losing data)

Is there a way to convert Dynamic MBR disk to Dynamic GPT without losing the data that resides on them?  I know there is ways to go from Basic MBR to GPT.  But the existing disks are already Dynamic which seems to create a problem.

On a side note I do have a round about way to create a disk mirror with one disk being MBR and  the other being GPT and after all data has sync'ed up just break the mirror.  But I am looking for something a bit more quicker.

Thanks

File share effective permissions and "encrypt data access"

I create a file share and everything works fine. But when  open Server Manager \ File and Storage Services \ Shares and goto the properties of the file share \ settings and enable "Encrypt Data Access" I get access denied for the user when accessing the share.

When I uncheck the feature all works fine.

The user is  logged into the same AD as the file server and the client compputer is also in the same AD as the file server.

Please advise.

Non techie here.

I have a project where I need to get 151GB of data spread over 375000+ files moved from a win 2003 FAP to a 2008 server. Copy, xCopy, Robocopy all take in excess of 50hours to move it to an external HDD. Has to be external move for security reasons.

I have 40 hours max to get it off and onto the new server.

the dfs was working perfectly fine...until recently.  I had to delete the replication group for troubleshooting an issue.  But, up until then replication was perfectly fine.  But, now that I'm trying to recreate my replication group, I'm having trouble getting it to work.  Below is the error that I'm seeing in the log.  Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

2K8 DFSR Replication not working

$
0
0

We moved from 2003 servers to 2008 servers a few months ago, recently we noticed that replication between server1 & server2 is not working, as the initial copy from the primary to the secondary semed ok, but nothing has replicated since. When you run the health diagnostics in DFS it appears to indicate no issue and all is ok, but nothing is actually replicating from 1 to 2.

when i run dfsrsdiag backlog on either server says there's nothing in backlog. I have a feeling it might have never worked since the initail copy, but found another utility which shows me the below, what does this mean? replciation should be one way server1 to server2

UPDATE:

Dfsradmin Membership List /RGname:Rep_group_namef/attr:MemName,RFName,IsPrimary

Both servers show No to Primary, is this absolutely required? as other servsr with DFS shares have this option of no for all mebers but they are replicating OK


Work Folder errors

I have Work Folders set up on a Server 2012 R2 machine which is fully updated. The client having trouble is running Windows 8.1 and I am seeing the following errors:

Upload Failed: Access is Denied (0x80070005)

A file or directory change can't be synchronised yet because a dependent folder is not yet synchronised.

Additionally, in the event logs, I see the following:

Event ID 9001: Credentials required for user

Event ID 9004: Your PC doesn't comply with your organization's security policies.

Event ID 9002: Work Folders detected a sync error. Check partnership status, network connectivity, and disk space.

I have tried updating the User Credentials - Work Folders already has the current credentials.

There are no security requirements set for Work Folders on the server side.

There is ample disk space available on the WF server.

I have already tried restarting the WF service on the client, I have also stopped using Work Folders and set it up again, as well as removing the WF feature from the client and reinstalling - all with no change.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Patrick

Is it possible to extend volumes with DFS without taking any resources offline?

$

I am running two Windows 2008 R2 servers (hosting DFS) within a VMware 4.1 environment. From the VM side of the house additional space was allocated. My question is: Can I simply expand my volume using the Disk Management's GUI to extend the drive (of course without interruption of DFS)? I have done this many times, but never when DFS is running on the volume. Thanks.

Hi,

Is there any where that states what the state field means when running dfsutil /root?

I'm getting a problem on client machines where I right click on a drive mapped to a dfs root and click on the DFS tab. The problem is when I click on check status on one of the folder targets I get "unreachable". I am guess this indicates a problem?

Can anyone advise?

Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

$

0

I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.

Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
 Administrative Tools
 Server Manager
 Features
 Group Policy Manager
 Forest: ...
 Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
 Policies
 Windows Settings
 Security Settings
 Local Policies
 Security Options
 Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
 - Define This Policy
 - Disabled

However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.

Are there any other things I have missed?
