User can't see sync state - Work Folders

Hi,

I've been searching for month now and couldn't find anything about this problem, so decided to ask here.
We successfully deployed Work Folders and it works well except one user - his files are synchronizing, but he can't see sync state in WorkFolders directory in explorer. Explorer should show green icon when file is synchronized or red icon when it's not, but right now it doesn't show anything.

I tried re-deploying Work Folders for his account, but it didn't work. I couldn't find anything suspicious in eventviewer.
Maybe he needs some permission to view sync state?
I'm stuck :(

Windows Search indexing not working properly

Dear all,

When I try to search for a document content on an indexed location it will not display any results, but you can clearly see that this text is existing in the word document. See screenshot. This is not for all but for a lot of "in document text searches"

The server where the files are stored is a Server 2016.

The problem exists when I search the local drive directly on the server, and when I search from a windows 10 clients on the mapped network drive

- Restart of service did not fix the issue

- Troubleshooting could not identify the problem

- Rebulding the search index on the server did not solve the problem

- Regedit "Setup Completed Successfully" set to 0, reset the index and did not solve the problem

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

I would like to provide a screenshot, but I'm not allowed to.

Kind regards

Matthias

NTFS permission removed when deleting a subfolder

February 21, 2018, 6:27 am
$

Hello everyone,

I do have a very strange issue with my file server. Let me first describe the infrastructure.

OS: Windows Server 2016
Roles: File and Storage Services
Type: Member of a 2016 Domain

On the file server I do have to following structure/permission:

  • F:\
    • ANWDTest
      • ZZZ
        • DIMS
        • Wagenbuch

The NTFS permissions to those folders is like that:

  • ANWDTest
    Inheritance disabled
    CREATOR OWNER - Full control - Subfolders and files only
    SYSTEM - Full control - This folder, subfolders and files
    Administrators - Full control - This folder, subfolders and files
    L_NTFS_J_R - Read & execute - This folder only

  • ZZZ
    Inheritance enabled
    L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_R - Read & execute - This folder only

  • DIMS
    Inheritance enabled
    L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_DIMS_R - Read & execute - This folder, subfolders and files
    L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_DIMS_W - Modify - This folder, subfolders and files

  • Wagenbuch
    Inheritance enabled
    L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_Wagenbuch_R - Read & execute - This folder, subfolders and files
    L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_Wagenbuch_W - Modify - This folder, subfolders and files

So far I think this is nothing special, now here is my issue:

When I delete the "Wagenbuch" or the "DIMS" folder this does remove the group "L_NTFS_J_ZZZ_R" from the "ZZZ" folder AND does remove the group "L_NTFS_J_R" from the "ANWDTest" folder... and I do have absolutly no idea why this is happening.

Does anyone see an error in the setup or did face similar issues? I am totally lost here, even no idea where to start searching.. Google did also not help at all.

Thanks for the support!


UPDATE 1: To be sure that is not an issue of our file server - I did setup the same structure on an other 2016 server, and did face the same issue.

UPDATE 2: In the meantime I did the same setup on a 2012 R2 server and there is no issue at all, so this seems to be related to Server 2016.

UPDATE 3: I just did a test setup of the brand new 2019 server - I do have the exact same error as on server 2016.

Cannot Delete a file named "con.pdf"

Somehow someone magically created a document with the name "con.pdf". From what I understand "con" is a reserved keyword. Now we cannot delete this file. When we try to do so we get:

---------------------------
Error Deleting File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot delete con: Cannot find the specified file.

Make sure you specify the correct path and file  name.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

 

Additionally, I've tried deleting the folder the file resides in, moving the file, renaming the file and nothing will remove this file. I've also tried doing "del *.*" from the command prompt and that doesn't work either. Any suggestions here? Thanks!

Storage Spaces Direct Cluster Aware Updating Behaviour

We have a 4 node S2D Hyperconverged cluster.

When running Server 2016 CAU on the cluster the Microsoft documentation tells us that it is S2D aware and that it will only reboot a cluster node when the storage is healthy.

We are not seeing this behaviour, S2D is rebooting nodes while the S2D virtual disks are listed as degraded and repair jobs are still in progress. Are their any known issues or hotfixes available for this?

For information, we are running the CAU gui wizard from a Server 2016 OS virtual machine.

Running Windows 2012 Server with Active Directory File / Authentication services -- external storage question

November 28, 2018, 1:29 pm

I'm running windows server 2012 deployed with active directory authentication. Very simplistic:

1) Shared volume, ( Accounting ), local users mount \\ip\share\ using auth via AD

Does anyone have any experience with utilizing a mapped/mounted/network drive ( meaning the AD server is actually the client mounting a \\ip\\share from another server via SMB/NFS/CIFS ) within the AD deployment? Like from a ubuntu SMB server on the local network.

Thank you

I noticed that my DCs (4 out of 6) LanmanWorkstation EnableSecuritySignature is disabled, set to 0.  Can this have an effect on shares on other servers? Could this have a negative effect on all SMB traffic?

My microSD card is unusable and unable to format it

I've tried so many methods to fix my SD card and I've come to the conclusion that it is totally destroyed. There is no file system on it, and I am unable to format it. In command prompt, the status is unusable and the size is 0 bytes. It's a 16 GB microSD card. This happened after I did a factory data reset on my phone. I am unable to mount the card or even format it on the phone. 

I tried opening the the disk on the computer, I received the message: "G:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function."

When I try to create a partition on the volume, I get: "DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect. See the System Event Log for more information." Also formatting, I get "0 percent completed," and the same message.

When I try clean, it says: "DiskPart has encountered an error: Incorrect function. See the System Event Log for more information."

I have a replication pair that was working but is only working in one direction

I have users point to both folders.

I have a large back log.The server that isn't sending, is saying its still waiting for initial sync.

Can I configure one of these as the primary without risking the data being wiped during the initial sync.

Thanks,

srv2.sys+0x27400 causing 100% CPU usage

Hi All

Were experiencing some seriously high CPU usage on our file server, this stores our roaming profile data and a few other shared drives within the LAN.When the issue isn't happening, the CPU hits a max of 20% but normally sits at 5%. I did a process explorer on the machine and saw that the System process was the culprit, after i found out it was that i looked into the threads and saw that it was srv2.sys+0x27400 that is causing this spike and there are multiple threads of this name that are running at the same time. I have applied the hotfixes that are mentioned in some of the forums but that hasn't seemed to fix the issue. The OS is Server 2008 R2 with SP1 installed.

Recovery after ReFS events 133 + 513 (apparent data loss on dual parity)

November 9, 2018, 3:27 am
$

Hi,
I have a single-node Windows server 2016 with a dual parity storage space, on which a bitlockered ReFS volume resides with enabled file integrity. This ReFS volume hosted/contained a ~17TB vhdx file with archive data since its setup half a year ago. This file has now suddenly been removed by ReFS! More precisely, I see the following two events in system log:

  1. Microsoft-Windows-ReFS Event ID 133 (Error): The file system detected a checksum error and was not able to correct it. The name of the file or folder is "R:\Extended Data Archive@dParity.vhdx".
  2. immediately followed by Microsoft-Windows-ReFS Event ID 513 (Warning): The file system detected a corruption on a file. The filehas been removed from the file system namespace. The name of the file is "R:\Extended Data Archive@dParity.vhdx".


I have the following questions:

  1. As 26TB are still used on volume level (constant, not decreasing over time), but only 7TB of files are visible, I assume that ReFS did not yet delete the missing vhdx file.How can I get read access to the corrupt vhdx file again for manual recovery of itsinternal file system?
  2. If I understand dual parity correctly, at least two physical disks must have failed simultaneously for this to happen. I do not see any useful events in the system log regarding this. How can I get any clues, which of the physical disks in my array need to be replaced?
    (Their SMART level is 100%. I plan to run extended SMART self tests on each individual physical disk, but only after data recovery. Still, Windows or ReFS might have logged some clues about the physical disks involved in this checksum error somewhere?)

Thanks.

diskperf and task manager and mounted volume - How to force task manager to also show MOUNTED VOLUMES?

I have a Win2012 Server using a secondary volume mounted as c:\DATA insted using drive letters

when i use task manager i can see the C: drive and i ALSO can see the C:\DATA volume and it sperformance information on task manager

But in several other windows servers, also using mounted volumes, the task manager does not show any mounted folder expect the volumes using "simple" letters, like "D", "E:", "V:" and so on

After some tests, i discovered something weird, but i couldn´t reproduce the problem

if i hit a DISKPERF -YD at the first attempt, this machine can show mounted volumes on task manager, but if i try not to use diskperf -YD at the firsta attempt, firts using diskperf -Y or other combination.. task manager NEVER shows the mounted volumes

y settings i´m trying to compare some registr like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\partmgr, but the parameter  EnableCounterForIoctl is identical on both machines (i checked using procmon, is the reg key sued by diskperf commands)

so, the final issue is: Why can t I enable my mounted volumes on TaskManager in several servers?

Q: Best way to synchronize file servers

Hello Admins,

currently we have about 20 Windows Server 2012 R2 as file servers, which are replicated via DFS-R. The servers are distributed worldwide and the replication takes forever (several days). In addition, only the file server in the head office is writable, so that no chaos arises.  But a new solution is needed! How would you synchronize 20 file servers worldwide and make each of them writable?

- For Azure Files we have too much data (about 12 TiB).

- Which solution can you think of?

I am looking forward to your feedback!

DFS Namespace - Combination Domain & Standalone

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience combining DFS Namespace - Domain based and Stand alone in single environment?

Wondering if anyone knows whether this is possible and what will be the pitfall?

I have case study now, as I have DFS Domain based namespace - and our domain controllers were hosted in multiple region, just for example sake, US, Multiple DCs in EU, Multiple DCs in Asia. I noticed that we have experienced slowness in resolving the domain based name space from particular region, and thought it was because of the sub net segmentation but it doesn't seems like that's the case, however, I did see significant improvement when users from the same region, redirected through direct NTFS path.

Thanks for the input and time

Cheers

iSCSI Initiator issues on Server 2019

Hello, I'm trying out Windows Server 2019 and I'm having some problems with the iSCSI Initiator. After several hours of debugging also against 2016, I managed to pinpoint that the following WMI query fails only on 2019:

Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Query "SELECT * FROM MSISCSIInitiator_TargetClass"

with the following error:

Get-WmiObject: Provider load failure

I haven't looked much further as to why this failure occurs, but is it possible that something got broken in 2019?

Thanks in advance!

Storage Spaces Direct and Diskpart Automount Policy

November 29, 2018, 1:19 pm
$

We're using storage spaces direct as a disk target for backup storage.  Our backup product has a direct SAN attached method for backup of VMware virtual machines versus using a proxy that uses HotAdd to send the data over the network.  This is where the Windows OS has block level access to the storage but doesn't need to mount it.  My intent was do to this with HBAs in the physical machines hosting the storage spaces direct volumes.

The requirements for the direct SAN attached storage are to disable the automount feature in Windows.  There's a variety of ways to do this, I would use DISKPART commands:

DISKPART> AUTOMOUNT DISABLE

What I can't find is any documentation anywhere if this is a supported configuration to disable automount in a storage spaces direct cluster.  The only thing I know for sure is that the storage spaces direct cluster as setup currently has this feature enabled.

I think it would be OK to disable it since the volumes are controlled by the cluster service and I'm fairly certain that handles the mounting of volumes for CSV and any other virtual disks directly associated with roles controlled by the cluster.

I'm also not sure this forum is the correct one for storage spaces direct questions, and I'd appreciate a point in the right direction on where to post if it isn't.

help desk put out a GPO that set LMCompatibilityLevel to 5.  My our servers the regkey is missing on 2012R2 and 2016 servers.  This means the LMCompatibilityLevel for my servers is 3 correct?  where does it get 3 from if the regkey is not there?  Also this would NOT be a mismatch correct?
