Subfolder was wiped out

$
0
0
I created a shared folder (\\<hostname>\Data2\Esri\gtg-resources\) on server A (Windows Server 2008).  I saved some XML files to the subfolder via servers B & C (Windows Server 2019).  Unfortunately, all of the XML files are missing.  The subfolder (gtg-resources) is empty.   I logged back onto servers B & C, I could see that records of files in that directory in the “Recent files” shortcut within Windows Explorer.  The other subfolders in \\<hostname>\Data2\Esri\ have nothing wrong.  I also checked recycle bin on server A, and it's empty.  Shadow Copies function is not enabled and there are no previous versions available on Server A.  IT nightly backups show empty folder as well.  

I was puzzled why files in the subfolder are missing?  How do I know what happened with the files? Can someone tell me what probably happened to the subfolder?  Is there any way to get them back if they were deleted accidentally?

Many thanks!

Mapped Drive Showing Incorrect Storage Used

$

My organization uses Windows Server 2008 R2 for our file server. Each user has a mapped drive with 10 GB of storage space, which is mapped to a folder within the file server. One user has a mapped drive which is showing as almost full (188 KB of storage space remaining). However, when I check on the file server itself, the folder is only 1.5 GB. I have tried remapping the drive on the user's computer, but it still shows up as nearly full. When checking the folder with WinDirStat, it also shows as only 1.5 GB. The OS of the user's computer is Windows 10 Pro. I've looked around, but cannot find any solutions for this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

DFS replication not working

I am trying to replicate 1 drive to another location. This is a 

When I check event logs I get error below. I have another replication setup on this server that goes to the remote replication server this one points to and it is working just fine. I have tried to recreate the DFS many times but continue to get the same error. Both drives are hard drive image files where one was able to replicate and the other causes error below. Please advise what I can do to get this working as I do not want to have to replicate one folder at a time off the root.

Server OS is Windows Server 2012 R2

The DFS Replication service failed to replicate the replicated folder at local path H:\ because the local path is not the fully qualified path name of an existing, accessible local folder.

DAC Device Claims

$
0
0

Hello,

I've been having some trouble getting DAC device claims to work, and I was wondering whether anyone could point me in the right direction. 

The environment is configured as follows:

Domain Controllers (hostnames dc01, dc02, dc03)

  • Server 2016
  • Domain and Forest functional level = 2008 R2
  • KDC support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled"/"Supported" via group policy
  • User based claim for attribute "l" enabled for users
  • Device based claim for attribute "location" enabled for computers

File server (hostname server01)

  • Server 2016
  • Shared directory (test_share) configured.
  • Share level permissions configured to allow Everyone full control.
  • File system permissions configured to allow user ab01 unconditional read/execute access
  • An additional ACL is configured to allow user ab01 full control conditional on either:
    1. user.l = "secure" or 
    2. device.location = "secure"
  • Conditional permissions are applied directly via security descriptor (i.e. no central access rules / policies are involved)
  • Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled" via group policy
  • msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes = 0x1c

Client machine (hostname pc01)

  • Windows 10
  • Attribute "location" set to "secure"
  • Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring set to "Enabled" via local policy
  • Support for compound authentication set to "Enabled"/"Always" via local policy.
  • msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes = 0x1c

User account (ab01)

  • Account attribute "l" set to "secure"
  • Account supports Kerberos AES 128 and 256 bit encyrption
  • Use Kerberos DES encryption types for this account is unchecked.

Similar to a previous question along these lines (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/1522933d-d004-430b-9251-6f7bcc6891f8/dac-device-claims-not-being-generatedpassed?forum=winserverDS), user based claims seem to work well: When the conditional permission based on a user claim is configured, then user ab01 has full control of test_share.

The effective permissions (evaluated on the file server) also appear to give the desired results: When conditional permissions are configured to use a device based claim (ab01 has full control when device.location="secure"), user ab01 is shown to have full control from pc01, but not from machines where device.location is undefined, or doesn't equal "secure". In real life however, user ab01 only has read/execute permissions when accessing test_share from pc01. Any attempt to create or modify files/folders generates a permissions error.

Various events with id 4626 show up at regular intervals in the logs on the file server and DCs: 

Subject:

Security ID: NULL SID

Account Name: -

Account Domain: -

Logon ID: 0x0

Logon Type: 3

New Logon:

Security ID: Domain01\ab01

Klist shows the following on PC01:

#4>  Client: ab01 @ Domain01

        Server: cifs/server01 @ Domain01

        KerbTicket Encryption Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96

        Ticket Flags 0x40a10000 -> forwardable renewable pre_authent name_canonicalize

        Start Time: 1/2/2020 5:15:40 (local)

        End Time:   1/2/2020 14:56:47 (local)

        Renew Time: 1/8/2020 19:11:48 (local)

        Session Key Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96

        Cache Flags: 0x40 -> FAST

        Kdc Called: dc03.domain01

Any advice on getting device claims working (or on how I can find more information about why they're not…) would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance


WSE 2016 VM - Windows Search problems

Hi all - 

Brand new Windows Server Essentials 2016 VM on Server 2019 Hyper-V, brand new Dell T340 - all SSD storage, very nice.

Windows Search is crapping out. Indexing about 600,000 items on two volumes, it works for a minute, and then searches return an unclickable list of files with white generic icons and no data. Restarting the service works for a while. I've reindexed a bunch.

Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!

Domain Accounts Are Unable To Access Network PC's via IP Address but Can Access via ComputerName

Hello All,

As stated in the title, while logged in to a domain account (which is part of the domain admins group), I am unable to access network machines via their IP address ( \\x.x.x.x\c$ ) however, I am able to access the machines via their domain name (\\ComputerName\c$).  Also, while logged in as a LOCAL admin, I am able to access any network PC by either method. 

While logged in as a domain admin, if I attempt to navigate to \\x.x.x.x\, I receive an error stating:

"\\x.x.x.x is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use the network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. 

Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in.  For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced."

While logged in as a domain admin, if i attempt to navigated to \\x.x.x.x\c$, I receive an error stating:

"Windows cannot access \\x.x.x.x\c$.  Check the spelling of the name.  Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network.  To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."

When I click on "see details" drop down, I see error code: 0x80004005 Unspecified Error.

While logged in as a local admin, I receive none of these issues. 

NTFS Corruption EventIDs needed

Hello,

after studing the following MS article, I´m searching for the needed event-id´s in case of checkdisk detects some corruptions in file system during its on line background scan, so restart is needed to correct it while the volume is offline.

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh831536(v=ws.11)

-> ...Corruption correction: When the scan is completed, Windows Server 2012 informs the administrator (by using events and the management consoles)....

From my last years in IT business, I know the eventid 55, which I be informed about, but are there more and/or changed with the new version (ok, since 2012...) of checkdisk?

Thank you!

DFS - PermissionDenied when trying to delete a DFS Target folder

$
0
0

I'm trying to remove a DFS target folder in a process to migrate these to a new server.  I get an "Access Denied" when trying to do it from the DFS Management GUI.  I get a "PermissionDenied" when trying to do it from powershell using this command:

Remove-DfsnFolderTarget -Path "\\dfsshare.local\root\folder" -TargetPath "\\server\folder"
I've also tried from the machine itself in powershell using this command, with the same "Access is deneid":
"dfscmd.exe /remove \\dfsshare.local\root\folder \\server\folder"

Any idea what permissions I need to check/change in order to be able to remove this?  (I've also tried it with the share enabled and disabled on the target server.)

I have a Physical 2008R2 server with DFS Namespace & DFS-R. I want to do an VMWare Convert to VM. It will have to same name, but I want to upgrade it to Server 2016. Should the DFS work with no issues since it should think it is the same server?

Can a Folder Target be on 2 Active NameSpace?

Also can a DFS-R Member be on 2 Active Replication groups?

The DFS Replication service has been repeatedly prevented from replicating a file due to consistent sharing violations encountered on the file. The service failed to stage a file for replication due to a sharing violation.

So there are more than a couple threads already about DFSR issues even mentioning this error, however... most of the "files" listed dont exist and have random names e.g.

35464C00

&

C0D56000

the full error is:

Do you have any suggestions what could be causing this or what the files are?

RODC in existing DFSR environment

I have  branch location that currently has two RWDCs and I'd like to create an RODC only in that location and demote the two RWDCs. We are currently hosting a DFSR server that is replicating with a DFSR server in our main office.

If I deploy the RODC only in our branch office will this break the DFSR replication? I am not finding any information if this will be the case.

After migrating from Novell Netware 6.5 to Windows Server 2019 access to open/save file dramaticly increse. File Server is installed in default setting. Disk via DFS is mapped by group policy. File Server / DFS in Windows Server in the same network as Novell Netware working many times slower.

Below test time working with word/excel file.

In Novell Netware 6.5
1) Open first file: < 1 second
2) Open second file: < 1 second
3) Save file after working with in 30 secund: < 1 second
4) Save file after working with in 15 minuts: < 1 second
5) Open file after 15 minutes delay: < 1 second

In the same computer with share from Windows Server 2019 - DFS:
1) Open first file: 20 second
2) Open second file: 3 second
3) Save file after working with in 30 secund: 2 second
4) Save file after working with in 15 minuts: 20 second

The Windows Sync Share service failed to setup a new sync partnership with a device. Error code: (0x80041295)

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with Work Folders on one of our servers with exactly one user. The user can't sync and will see an error message and an empty work folder on his computer.

The server (Server 2019 Datacenter, 17763.963) shows the following error messages again and again:

Event 3005, SyncShare:

The Windows Sync Share service failed to setup a new sync partnership with a device. Database: \\?\D:\SyncShareState\MyWorkfolders\Metadata; User folder name: \\?\D:\WORKFOLDERS\username; Error code: (0x80041295)

Event 4020, SyncShare:

Http request failed. User: username@domain; Device: Computername; DeviceOS: Windows 10.0; Request: Put-Session; Error code: (0x80041295)

The sync works for all other users on this and other Work Folders servers. The sync was working for this user without issues until some days ago. 

I found this KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3083424/sync-e-metadata-invalid-operation-error-when-work-folders-stops-syncin

This only is about Server 2012 R2, so the hotfix is not the solution here. Any idea what's going wrong?

Edit: the issue started when the user logged on to a new computer with a fresh installation of Windows 10 Enterprise x64 1909. 

Best regards,

Windingo


FSRM / Filegroup limit?

$
0

Hi community,

I have problems with a ransomware-detection via FSRM. I have a filegroup which contains >500 files and filetypes. If one of these files or filetypes is recognized by FSRM it should create an event. Obviously the event is not created for all extensions. for example, if I create a file with extension .oshit the event is created. If I create a file with extension .infected no event is created. Both extensions are in the filegroup. 

Is there a limitation?

Workfolders- not enough memory resources - 30GB of RAM used...

$
0

I am trying to set up a new PC with folder redirection to workfolders rather than using offline files.

It is unable to sync and consistently fails (after an hour or so of syncing) with an error 2100 in the workfolders event log of :

"Sync failed. Work Folders path: C:\Users\<user>\Work Folders; Error: (0x8007000e) Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation."

I also get an error 2004 in the system log of:

"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: svchost.exe (8332) consumed 38561353728 bytes, MsMpEng.exe (4080) consumed 150728704 bytes, and SearchUI.exe (8400) consumed 145772544 bytes."

Yes that is 38GB of memory being used by the svchost (that is the PID for the svchost (localservice -p) which is definitely the workfolders service)....

This would seem to be a bug...

Workstation has been restarted (multiple times) and server syncshare process has also been restarted.

This started after I had to disable and renable workfolders as there wasn't enough space to turn off 'on demand files' and it didn't seem to recover from the inability to sync due to lack of space - refused to sync (red crosses) several folders.

Windows 10 Pro V1903, Server 2016
