Taking Ownership, Access Denied

July 10, 2018, 2:14 pm
$
0
0

On our network, from time to time, a user will screw up permissions to a folder or file they create. In the past, we have been able to simply go to the location with our admin account, take ownership of the file or folder and reset the permissions. Something changed at the enterprise level and now we are unable to do that. I have asked for enterprise help and they don't seem to understand what I am asking for.

Our set up.  At our site, we have a NetApp device with several shares.  These shares are shared out to the network via DFS.  DFS is managed at the enterprise level and the NetApp is managed locally.  We have not made any changes to our NetApp or our namespace servers that help with replication. 

Yes, I am using an administrator account to attempt this.  Yes, I could do this before.  I believe this started right around the same time the enterprise started upgrading their DFS servers.

Here are pictures.  If anyone can help me figure out what change was made, or what change needs to be made to make it so our admin accounts can take ownership of files and folders again, I would appreciate it.

Before, instead of giving me an error, it would let me know that I don't have permissions, and that continuing would overwrite permissions to give me full control, I would click OK, then boom, I would have full control and give permissions back the way they should be.  all done.

“Network Error - 53” while trying to mount NFS share in Windows Server 2008 client

CentOS | Windows 2008

I've got a CentOS 5.5 server running nfsd. On the Windows side, I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have the "Files Services" server role enabled and both Client for NFS and Server for NFS are on.

I'm able to successfully connect/mount to the CentOS NFS share from other linux systems but am experiencing errors connecting to it from Windows. When I try to connect, I get the following:

C:\Users\fooadmin>mount -o anon 10.10.10.10:/share/ z:
Network Error - 53

Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.

(IP and share name have been changed to protect the innocent :-) )

Additional information:

  • I've verified low-level network connectivity between the Windows client and the NFS server with telnet (to the NFS on TCP/2049) so I know the port is open. I've further confirmed that inbound and outbound firewall ports are present and enabled.
  • I came across a Microsoft tech note that suggested changing the "Provider Order" so "NFS Network" is above other items like Microsoft Windows Network. I changed this and restarted the NFS client - no luck.
  • I've confirmed that the share folder on the NFS server is readable/writable by all (777)
  • I've tried other variations of the mount command like: mount 10.10.10.10:/share/ z: andmount 10.10.10.10:/share z: and mount -o anon mtype=hard \\10.10.10.10:/share * No luck.
  • As per the command output, I tried typing NET HELPMSG 53 but that doesn't tell me much. Just "The network path was not found".

I'm lost on how to proceed with troubleshooting. Any ideas?

Any difference 2008 / 2008R2 deal with thumbs.db in shared folder

Hi all,

We got 3 windows server provide files service, two 2008 and one 2008 R2, in workgroup. Most user using Windows 10/7.

Just handling a inquiry from users that they cannot move / delete folders immediately on 2008 R2 with reason "thumbs.db being accessed by Windows Explorer". I understand thumbs.db should be created by client side, and its Windows Explorer lock the thumbs.db.

I check out for a while, it can be avoid by "Always show icons, never thumbnails." to disable thumbnails. However, it is not a option to fit us, as thumbnails quite useful in routine tasks, which handling a lot graphic files.

After further check out, users only report this thumbs.db issue when using shared folder on 2008 R2, but not 2008s. I look into 2008 servers, thumbs.db files also created by user.

I wonder if there are difference between 2008 and 2008R2 shared folder when handling thumbs.db? or any configuration can be deal with this issue?

Thanks

How to improve FSRM Classification Speeds

I am currently doing a performance test on our server for classifying office files. We are trying to use FSRM for the job but so far, we are not very impressed and infact disappointed. 

We setup 2 systems for this purpose and created 2 lac sample files (1 MB appx each) summing up to 200 GB data.

Windows 2012 R2 i3 3.30 GHz (2 core 4 logical processor) with 16 GB RAM. We have applied upto 7 Regular Expressions. It's taking us 24 hours to do the job. 

The same task took us 11.5 hours on a Windows 2012 R2 Standard i7 3.40 GHz system with 32 GB RAM (4 core 8 logical processor)

At this rate, to classify a realistic 1 TB data, it will take 57 to 60 hours or 120 hours on the slower system. Optimistically, it's taking 4.6 seconds to classify 1MB file or 0.216 MB/sec

I have seen an article which mentioned FSRM speeds.

'Approxiamately 40 files are classified per second when the content classifier is used to classify office 2007 documents that are under 1 MB'.

The article also said that it depends on the number of regexs run against the data. 

This will take forever to classify our office files if we are to depend on FSRM. 

Has anyone tried it on your systesms? What are the speeds you got? Is it this slow? Is there anyway to improve our performance? Does FSRM classification depend on RAM, number of cores, number of files or it's content?

DFS namespace migration from SMB / CIFS on Netapp

Hi All 

I am trying to figure out a way to deal with shortcuts pointed to a smb share when migrating to a namespace. My org has run shared folders on a netapp for a long time, we are finally migrating to DFS with a namespace. Everything has gone pretty well with one exception. We still have some shortcuts that run printer mapping scripts on startup. Every computer has one :/ all 400. In the past I would have just used a dns alias for the old file server to the new file server and change the old servers name. This would give me two benefits, if anyone mapped to the old server they would still work and any scripts and whatnot pointed there would still work. I cant do that with a namespace due to the additional directory layer i.e. \\server\share vs \\domain name\namespace\share. Any ideas on how to update that shortcut on 400 PCs? Or redirect requests to the old servername to the new namespace?

Hi,


I have scenario

  3. VM work station (Windows Server 2016)
  4. Laptop (Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB, access via DirectAccess)

I'd like to have write permission to shared folder for user on the laptop and read permission only on the VM work station for the same user.


How do I achieve this goal via GPO?

Offline folders disconnects and reconnects continusly

July 12, 2018, 12:16 am

I tell you, We have a domain with functional level 2016, several servers Windows Server 2016 acting as RDS and a few portable computers with Windows 10 Pro. Our users have enabled the redirection of folders to a network resource and connect other network resources to the same file server. In the resource where the folders are redirected, Offline Files is enabled and the problem is that, although there are no network connection losses or low speed connection detection, in the offline file log it is recorded that very often the resource is it disconnects and reconnects for no apparent reason and in the Windows Explorer it is seen that the files and folders are disconnected although you can normally access the rest of shares of the same file server, and this prevents the normal development of our users' work and causes many offline files's conflicts to solve...

I have been looking for information and I found a thread some years ago with exactly the same problem but with Windows 7 clients https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/0c5ec5d6-4a9f-42f6- ae61-522905827737/offline-folders-constantly-transitioning-to-offlinedisconnected-state?forum=w7itpronetworking without a solution. On the other hand it was commented that the problem could come from the rdbss.sys file version, but I have not found a satisfactory solution for our environment. If someone can help us, we'll be grateful.

Thank you.

No longer able to manage ISCSI targets with Server Manager in WS2016 after the node is added to a failover cluster.

Hey everyone. I hope someone is able to assist with this issue.

I have installed WS2016 Standard on a server that I intend to used as an iSCSI target server. The iSCSI target server role service is installed as well  as the failover cluster manager feature. 

On this server, call it Storage1, I created an iSCSI disk named iSCSI-Disk01 and mapped it to an iSCSI target named iSCSI-TRGT-01 and connected Storage01 to iSCSI-TRGT-01 using the iSCSI initiator. The disk is initialized, formatted and is visible in file explorer, Server Manager and Disk Mangement snap-in.

I then proceed to create a cluster using the failover cluster manager on Storage1 and then add Storage1 as the first node in the cluster. When I try to add the iSCSI disk added earlier to cluster storage,  it is not visible in the FCM and is no loner available in File Explore. The iSCSI initiator is no longer connected and is just showing "reconnecting."  As a result I am unable to create the iSCSI target role as there are't any available disks to be used. I then go to File and Storage services in server manager and select iSCSI. In the top area it says "no eligible servers are available, " and I am unable to create a new iSCSI disk and target. 

However, when I destroy the cluster and restart the server, I am once more able to see the connected iSCSI disk in Server Manager and I am able to create other iSCSI. How can I create an iSCSI target cluster in WS2016 without this issue? Is this a bug or is there a new way to implement this in WS2016?

Robocopy Version XP010 - Excluding Multiple Directories using /XD

I'm attempting to use Robocopy to routinely copy data between 2 servers.  In the file structure being copied there are several folders + their associated sub-folders e.g DfsrPrivate and Projects\Archived for this example I don't want to copy.

 

I've attempted to use the switches  /XD DfsrPrivate /XD Projects\Archived

/XF is also used to exclude all .bak files. (referenced after the 2 /XD switches)

 

This results in the log file header below:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   ROBOCOPY     ::     Robust File Copy for Windows     ::     Version XP010
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Started : Wed Dec 05 00:51:28 2007

   Source : \\[Servername]\Data\
     Dest : D:\Data\

    Files : *.*
    
Exc Files : *.bak
    
 Exc Dirs :  DfsrPrivate
     Projects\Archived
     
     
  Options : *.* /S /E /COPYALL /ZB /MAXAGE:1 /R:10 /W:30

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

 

This results in the DfsrPrivate being excluded but Projects\Archived and all the subfolders below are not.

 

Has any one had experience with trying this, and had success?

Extended REFS partition but new size/free space doesn't show in Explorer

February 1, 2016, 5:12 am

We have a large ReFS partition on a Server 2012 R2 machine that we came close to running out of space on.  It sits on an LSI Raid-6 volume (which we have several dozen in production, never have issues with them).  We decided to increase the size and extend the volume.  

We expanded the Raid volume, and after it completed the additional space showed up in Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Disk Management.  We extended the volume, and the space expanded successfully.  And this is where it gets weird....  When we go to Windows Explorer the new total space / free space values do not show up.  Nor do they show up in DiskPart.

We need to properly extend this volume, and with approximately 27 TB of data on the volume it's not feasible to move it somewhere else.  What can we do to have the new space configuration show up properly?  Please see below for an image of what I'm seeing.  Thanks!  Rick

I've been working with Diskspd and VMfleet for a while now trying different workloads in environments with reasonable success but I've not been able to configure a stress test with Diskspd to use the -X parameter. Has anyone had success setting up the XML file for configuring workloads of different types to run simultaneously? I could use a configuration example if anyone has one that they've got to work.

Storage Replica - Maintenance

Hi,

I am testing Storage Replica Server to Server under Windows 2016 Datacenter. It seems to be working well. I'm wondering, what would be the best method for maintaining nodes (Windows Update)?

Should I suspend replication, update the node and resume replication?
What about the second passive node? You must first switch the data to the other node and then suspend replication as well?

I couldn't find any articles on the subject... Maybe there are scripts?

Thank you for your advice.
