Windows Server 2012 R2, running restore-dfsrpreservedfiles, getting path, file name or both are too long error

June 19, 2014, 2:06 pm

Trying to recover some deleted files that are located in the DFSRPrivate folder as Conflicted files due to an erroneous change made on the primary server in the replication group.   I am getting the error shown below when I try to recover those files (which are listed in the manifest file).   Is there any workaround/solution to getting these files back using this mechanism?  I am trying to do recovery to a different folder so I can copy from it, but running with RestoretoOrigin gives the same error.  

Alternatively, if there's a way to de-obfuscate the files in the DFSRPrivate directories, that might be a reasonable plan C.

Initially tried to do a disk based recovery from the primary server, but there are differences.   Server is Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Path too long to restore files

Hi, I am having a problem with shadow copy on Server 2008 R2, when restoring files, on some files I get the path too long, destination does not support this etc etc message. The thing that is confusing me is......the files were there originally and worked perfectly fine, yet if I try and copy them back into the folder from shadow copy I get this error message, I am literally just trying to restore some files and folders that where there the day before.

Bizarre DFSRoots subfolder permission inheritance issue

October 2, 2015, 3:35 am
$

Hi, I really hope somebody can shed some light on this...

Once in a while we get an issue where some (and sometimes all) users get niggling issues, such as the 'Documents' link in Start Menu not working (other issues within various applications also crop up at the same time).

We have various namespaces set up on our domain, one of which is called \\stockportgrsch.net\userfiles.
There are 3 namespace servers for this namespace (FS04, FS05 and FS06).

When the above issue arises, if I look at the permissions for 'C:\DFSRoots\Userfiles' on each of the servers, I will find that on at least one of them (and again sometimes all), permission inheritance seems to be broken.
By broken I mean that only 'Administrators' are showing in the ACL, but when I look at inheritance it thinks it's turned on.
The only fix I have at present is to click 'Disable Inheritance', click Apply, and then click 'Enable Inheritance'.
This puts the permissions back correctly, as below.
I know I can do this every time but can't keep checking this and obviously am worried that this might be a symptom to a wider issue!

Symbolic link type changed

April 14, 2015, 9:40 am

We have been using symbolic intensively to archive historic files. An automatic script would create symbolic links regularly based on certain criteria. Users don't experience inconvenience as the soft links can be opened as regular files, programs will run without issues, and the type of those soft links are identical to the type of file it has a link to (for example, a symbolic link to an Excel file will have Excel file type in its properties). However, recently we have noticed that the type of links has changed to SYMLINK which makes Windows to ask users to choose what program to open with by popping up the "Open With.." window.

Do you guys what will affect the file server to change its behavior and represent symbolic links type as SYMLINK and create additional troubles?

Hi,

Below PowerShell command shows number of users currently accessing a share.  Similarly, on Windows Server,  is there a way to find list of shares being accessed by a given user. 

PS C:\> Get-SmbShare | Select Name, Path, CurrentUsers

Name                                    Path                                                               CurrentUsers
----                                       ----                                                                 ------------

Users Unable to Access/Save Files With Full Permissions

September 21, 2015, 4:27 am

Hello,

We have several users who are unable to save and/or access certain files within their home directory.  The users had no issues on Friday to access/save these files, no permissions have been changed prior to the incident (only after the incident for testing) and no updates have been applied to the machines the users are using to access the server.

Things I have checked:

  1. Users have Full Permissions over the location/file they are trying to access
  2. Users are Owners for the "Share" permissions on the folder they are trying to save to
  3. Removed Inherited permissions and tried to access without success
  4. Restarted client machines to no avail
  5. With a specific file, I tried to move it to other locations within the shared folder, to no avail
  6. Moving the file to the desktop seems to allow access; moving back encounters the same issues
  7. This is happening on two different servers (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2003 and on two different domains

We are planning a server restart tonight when users stop working, but can't think of anything else that could be the cause of the issue.

We are getting the "Access Denied.  Contact your Administrator" message with the files that can't be opened.

Hi,

I am having issue while syncing my windows 8.1 work folders to Windows server 2012 R2 work folder. The issue I am facing that when user logon to their computer and go in control panel, click work folder icon and configure the work folder and sync the folder with server get an error that is similar "Make sure your account is an administrator on this PC and that all administrator accounts on this PC have a password",  and user has not assigned admin permission on the computer. The work around I used to create work folder, login on the computer with domain admin account and configure work folder then sign out and again sign in with user account and configure the work folder.

I want that user can configure work folder without any admin permissions on local computer. Please guide.

Thanks

partitions greater than 2 TB

February 14, 2008, 9:07 pm

I've read that Windows Server 2008 supports partiton sizes greater than 2 TB for fail over clustering. Well, I'm not doing fail over clustering, but... I have a new Dell server with (6) 700 GB SATA drives.

 

Initially, I didn't understand how the 2 TB limit worked. I configured a hardware RAID container with all 6 drives and installed Windows Server 2003 on a 30 GB partition., When I attempted to a partition the remaining 3 + TB of space, the partion could not be configured larger than 2 TB , which left roughly 1.5 TB inaccessible. My research revealed that this was because the RAID array contained the boot partiton.Because of the 2 TB system partition limit I had to create 2 RAID (hardware) containers for RAID 5 for Windows Server 2003.

 

I'd like to do a single hardware RAID 5 container, 30 GB system boot partition, and a 3.5+ TB second partition with the remaining space. Does Windows Server 2008 support this configuration? I've read about support for a 'GUID partition table'. Does this have to be supported by the system BIOS?

 

Thanx in advance.

DFS Namespace Availability

October 13, 2015, 2:50 am

Hi,

I hope you don't mind but I have a couple of questions regarding DFS. I am in the process of configuring DFS where I work to replace the generic file server set up we have. We have two sites that are on the same domain, eventually we'll have a DFS server in each location. I'm almost there, at the moment I have two servers configured with DFSN/R, I have replication between the two servers. Both servers are configured in the namespace, referral statuses are enabled, I have edited the referral ordering so they are first and last among all targets, both are members of the replication group.

The issue I'm having at the moment is when I take down the first target the namespace is no longer available, in order to work on any files or folders I have to navigate to \\server-name\company-docs

Firstly, does anyone know how I can provide a highly available namespace so that if the link between the two sites fails, users at each site will still be able to reach files and folders via \\domain-name\company-docs instead of having to revert back to \\server-name\company-docs?

Secondly, can I configure DFS so that users at each site connect to the DFS server on that site?, as I think because they are both in the same domain they will both have the same cost.

Thanks in advance.

Store Shadow Copies on Different Volume

Hi,


I want to store shadow copies of volume "U:" on volume "S:", but shadow copies settings menu only lists the volume selected (in this case "U:") as a Storage area location.

I've tried enabling and disabling the shadow copies to clear past restore points if there were any, I also formatted volume "S:".


Both Volumes are part of the same disk, and the disk is assigned to a File server failover cluster.

Servers running as virtual machines Windows 2012 R2 (VMware 5.5), and the Disk is added as an RDM disk.


I'd like to avoid combining the volumes as a last resort, any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I have this event id in the logs on the DC and as I know most likely it is due to the network connectivity problems or backup from Veeam or Symantec Backup Exec. I decided to check most the events and I found out that there are some different one from:

The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner DOM-002 for replication group Domain System Volume due to an error. The service will retry the connection periodically.
 
Additional Information:

Here they are:

Both of the server are Virtual Machines.

The question is: Should I do something on the server? Upgrading, adding hardware, change something? Thanks in advance

Storage Pool Creation in server 2012 standard

I installed windows server 2012 standard on a 1T.B hard drive with 3 partitions, ie drive c (system drive) 348 GB, drive D 465 GB and drive E 97.3 GB. Without installing a separate an unallocated drive, I tried to create a storage pool but so rightly failed. I logged on to a forum where I was informed that in order to view the physical drives and primordial disks in the storage pool wizard, I hard to create an unallocated partion on the drive. I then created a seperate an unallocated drive by of 19.3 GB buy partitioning drive D 465 GB. However, after all this, their is still no physical drive or primordial drive displayed. When I use the power shell cmdlet Get-PhysicalDisk, Canpool is false. Do I have to buy a seperate hard drive or can this be fixed?

Thank you
