ICACLS Syntax issues with backup / restore

October 15, 2010, 1:35 pm

I am doing some testing with Windows Server 2008 R2 with NTFS permissions.  I have a d: (multiple folders and sub-folders) drive with an existing ntfs permissions.  I want to make a backup of the settings using icacls so I can restore when needed.

So, here is what I am doing and the issue:

1.  Open an elevated cmd prompt.

2.  Run "icacls d:\ /save ntfsDdrive.txt /t /c" without the quotes.  No issues.

3.  Run "icacls d:\ /restore ntfsDdrive.txt" without the quotes and I get the following:

d:\D:PAI(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;S-1-5-21-1229272821-2
025429265-725345543-3701)(A;CI;0x1200a9;;;BU)S:AI: The filename, directory name,
 or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files

Any assistance is appreciated.

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished.  For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know which direction I will go.  I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time.  DFS can stay installed for maybe future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.

Here's a few details of the environment....

1.  DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present.  But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project

2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server.  Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least, and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble.  This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server.  The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications, futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.

3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends.  The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.

4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a question about Quota Management.

I had everything setup correct with Quota Management for user home folder storage limitation, and it worked fine w/o problems. However, recently I noticed that not all of user folders show up under the Quota Management. I setup around 10 different limitation group for around 9000 people. Now it only show up around 300 users. 

Does anyone know where I can find log or something else to tell me what went wrong? It is kind of became problem when I need to increase user storage size as they are not showing up under Quota Management. Please help!!!

DFSR detects dirty shutdown on reboot

Hi all,

I have a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server running DFSR. It is up to date, all hotfixes have been installed, there is no antivirus running on it, and I've tweaked WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 600000. When I do a soft reboot or soft shutdown, when the server comes back up it gives -

"The DFS Replication service has detected an unexpected shutdown on volume F:. This can occur if the service terminated abnormally (due to a power loss, for example) or an error occurred on the volume. The service has automatically initiated a recovery process. The service will rebuild the database if it determines it cannot reliably recover. No user action is required. "

This is happening every time I reboot. Fortunately this server isn't in full production yet, but this issue will need to be resolved before I can put it in production. Does anybody have any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Does DFS Use A Lot Of Resources?

Hello,

I have set up a test environment in which I have a single server with 4gb RAM currently running Active Directory Domain Services with only 2 clients and it runs fine (only using 990MB). I am intending to install SQL Server on it and limit it to 2gb ram. As well as these, I would very much like a domain-based DFS Namespace (I am not bothered about file replication) but will all three roles be able to run efficiently with only two clients? I don't want it to be really laggy taking ages to process logon requests and SQL queries etc. I would rather have SQL and AD run fine than have a DFS as well and have them really slow.

Write-Back Cache in Scale-Out File Server

July 11, 2014, 2:58 pm

My test environment setup consists of one Hyper-V server and a two-node Scale-Out File Server.  All have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed with the latest updates as of today.

My question is about Server 2012 R2's Write-Back Cache configured on disks created on the SOFS.  Is there any way to monitor the Write-Back Cache?  Or put another way, how can I tell how effective the current size (i.e. 5 GB) of the Write-Back Cache is?  How can I tell if I need more cache or that less could be used?

I'm thinking my Write-Back Cache for a virtual disk on my SOFS quickly becomes full, which is causing the file copy process (to a VM's VHDX running on that virtual disk) to look like hills and valleys--bursts of fast copy speeds interspaced with bursts of slow copy speeds.

Thanks!

SMB 3 Encryption and only x86 32 Windows 8.1U1

Has anyone else used the 32 bit x86 Windows 8.1U1 to map to a Windows 2012 R2 withSet-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $True and Set-SmbServerConfiguration –RejectUnencryptedAccess $False ?

I have full success with 64 bit X64 Windows 8.1U1 client.  No problems.

As soon as I try NET USE X: \\SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.EXT\SHARENAME the 32 bit client hangs for many minutes before finally mapping the drive.  Any attempt to access the share hangs Explorer or the computer for many more minutes.  So slow it is almost impossible to use the machine.

If I set on the server:

Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $False

The NET USE works fast and access is fast.

Or, if I turn off SMB2/3 on client, NET USE works fast and access is fast, like this:

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

This is on a freshly installed 8.1U1, no GP, no apps or fully configured with apps and GP.  Every 32 bit OS machine, including varied Sony and Dell hardware, VM's on HyperV Server, etc.  Behaves the same against several 2012 and 2012 R2 servers, although they are all similar in setup.

Thanks!

How to avoid broken shares when ommitting the namespace folder?

August 16, 2014, 6:37 am
$

I am currently learning DFS and I have some questions about some things I find really strange. But first an overview:

---------------

SOIL-DC1 (Server)

D:\Shares\Research (shared as \\SOIL-DC1\Research)
D:\Shares\Laboratory (shared as \\SOIL-DC1\Laboratory)

SOIL-DC2 (Server)

D:\Shares\Development (shared as \\SOIL-DC2\Development)

\\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Public (DFS-Namespace)

Research (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Research)
Laboratory (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Laboratory)
Development (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Development)

---------------

What I find really strange is, that I can access the shares ommitting the namespace ("Public"). For example: \\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Research. However, that folder is shown as empty and I don't have permissions to add any files. The intended namespace \\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Public is working as expected.

Why is that and how can I avoid this strange behaviour?

Program For Logging Hard Disk Activity

Hey Everyone,

I am having an issue with a server in which the Hard disks keep failing, within the last year 3 of them have died.

I am in need of a program that can record logs of the hard drive activity overnight, a period of about 12 hours. This will help us track down at what time the issue is occuring, and then what is causing it. Something similar to the built-in windows hard disk monitor is task manager, but with the ability to record would be perfect. I have tried other programs but they log in text, and it would take hours of looking through the logs to find any abnormalities

Does anyone know of such a software?

I notice that whenever my java program is moving files to a folder, there is no owner assigned to that file. How is that possible? Now I am not able to move that file to some other folder except delete.

Any way to assign ownership to the file before moving the file itself.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I check the source time of 4-5 DC and maybe just synch with PDC. Must of them synch with other DC instead of PDC.

I check the registry setting of all and they have:NT5DS , only PDC have: NTP

Why is that? Resynch or restart Windows Times don't help. What is the reason or the process that push them to see another DC?

Please kindly help as follows:

Due to I need to migrate the Data from Novell to Windows 2008 R2, I have some issue about robocopy.

My existing file include some long file / folder name and long file path. (More than 256 / 260 characters)

When I try to use robocopy copy the files, some of them show error and mentioned that it cannot locate the files. All of them are long file name.

I have tried to use "/256" and result is negative.

Meanwhile, I do not want to shorten the file / folder name or path.

If I would like to retain the same file / folder name and path, any suggestion?

Thank you!

[Forum FAQ] How to map a drive to a domain name

July 10, 2014, 2:45 am
$

Symptom

There is a shared folder (Share) on a DC of contoso.com. If you access the shared folder using the path\\contoso.com\Share, you will find the shared folder is empty. If you try to create a new folder in \\contoso.com\Share, you will get an error“Could not find this item. This is no longer located in contoso.com. Verify the item's location and try again”. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

However, you can create a new folder in\\Controller\Share or\\Controller.contoso.com\Share without issue (Controller is the server name). The NETLOGON and SYSVOL shares are not subject to this error.

Cause

Mapping a drive to the domain name is reserved for DFS. The SMB client will connect to IPC$ and get a list of DFS namespaces. If DFS has not been setup there is nothing to refer, thus the blank“folder.”

When using the controller name, either short or FQDN, it establishes a normal SMB share connection. This is why you can create folders through explorer.

Solution

You must create folders/share on the DFS root through the DFS Management tool, or via CMD/PowerShell. You cannot achieve this via Windows Explorer.

Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, create a DFS domain-namespace namedShare, then you can create a new folder in \\contoso.com\Share.

Figure 2

Figure 3
