Work Folders can't encrypt files on Windows 10 1903
Hi,
problems with WF encryption was discussed here many times before, but I think that now it's related to Windows 10 1903, because Windows 10 1809 is working fine.
Error message is still the same:
Sync failed. Work Folders path: C:\Users\MYUSER\Work Folders; Error: (0x80c80314) The Work Folders path has to be encrypted. You might have an application holding the Work Folders folder open or the folder might be compressed. Close File Explorer and any open files or apps, and check the folder's Advanced properties to ensure that the folder is not compressed. EventID 2100
I had tried Windows 10 1903 domain joined / not domain joined, followed tips on https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Storage-at-Microsoft/Troubleshooting-Work-Folders-on-Windows-client/ba-p/425627 but WF encryption is still failing.
Has anyone working WF on Windows 10 1903 with encryption enabled?
Best regards,
Jiri

Deleting a Storage Pool
OS: Storage Server 2012 R2 Standard
Drive Configuration (Disk 1): 5 - 2TB drives / RAID 5 / 7.28TB Capacity (Disk1)
There are several Volumes configured on Disk 1 with a total capacity of approx. 850GB. The rest of Disk1 (6.54TB) is configured for a MS Storage Pool. The Storage Pool has 1 Storage Space, which includes 1 Virtual Disk.
This was set up before I arrived and I have no idea why it was done this way. In Disk Management, the Storage Space is part of Disk 1 and is displayed as a "Storage Space Protected Partition". The Virtual Disk is displayed as Disk 2.
My questions:
1. Using File and Storage Services, if I delete the Virtual Drive (the data has been backed up), will I then be able to delete the Storage Pool?
2. After deleting the Pool, will this space now show as 'Unallocated' space on Disk1 to be used to increase or add Logical Volumes?
It seems simple enough, but I just want to be sure. Some data on Disk 1 is critical to our operations and access cannot be interrupted for a long period.
Thanks in advance,
Mike C.

DFSR Console issue
HI Team,
I have 2 Windows Server 2012R2 servers in 2 different domains, same forest, running DFSR with replication groups. One is in USA and the other in China. They work great...! Every year I create a new replication group to share the 1 folder between site and archive\remove the older year. December I did this again but didn't put into the NameSpace so user's didn't see it yet. I took a few days off at New Years so my new colleague tried to make the 2020 folder. :(
My colleague made a 2020 global folder and put it somewhere into the servername\DFSRoot\dfs\xyz…… somewhere in here. It was like a virtual folder in the DFS of only 1 server. I deleted that folder.
I then added the 2020 folder to NameSpace and all was fine, I though.
I see replication working fine.
Now on that server I deleted the folder, when I load DFS Management, I no longer see the Replication opinion below Namespaces. When I load an MMC and add the DFS Management snapin, I can see the Replication windows, but it crashes when I click on it.
Any thought on how to fix this...?
Thanks, Tom...

SMB 1.0 not disabled
We have a few servers with Windows Server 2012R2 Standard and Essentials. We uninstalled SMB1 SMB 1.0/CIFS File sharing support. When we run command below, it says SMB 1 is still enabled.
Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol
PS C:\Users\dboudreauA> Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol
EnableSMB1Protocol
------------------
True
If I run command below it does not allow me to disable it as the feature is uninstalled.
PS C:\Users\dboudreauA> Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature : The requested operation requires elevation.

Any idea what is going on as I did restart the servers a few times but it still showing SMB 1.0 is enabled.

Windows Clustering with Bitlocker
Hi,
We are having a problem with Windows cluster(Windows 2012 R2)with encrypted shared storage as follows:
At the beginning, all shared storage drives were mounted in the Windows cluster and the failover between 2 cluster nodes were always successful. Later on, bitlocker encryption was added to the shared storage by the following methods.
1) install BitLocker feature in Windows Server on each cluster server
2) set "AES 256" in "Choose drive encryption method and cipher strength" in group policy ("Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption") on each cluster server
3) turn on maintenance mode on the clustered disk to be encrypted in failover cluster manager
4) disable shadow copies on the clustered disk if it is enabled
5) run powershell
6) type "manage-bde -on <drive:> -recoverypassword
7) type "manage-bde <drive:> -protectors -add -sid <clusternode$>
8) turn on shadow copies of the clustered disk if necessary
9) turn off maintenance mode of the clustered disk in failover cluster manager
The above method worked perfectly fine until yesterday. The cluster failover(for maintenance reason) was unsuccessful and all shared disk failed in the cluster node. We had to unlock the shared drive by encryption key, removed them from the cluster and decrypt the drives before adding back to the cluster. We also could not perform the same method mentioned above for encryption in the cluster anymore. The clustered disk would go to fail state once we performed the same method above.
My question is:
How could we encrypt the shared storage in the cluster node again and prevent it from happening again?

SMB 3.1.1 connection slow for file shares on Server 2019
Hi,
I have a problem with shares on file server windows 2019.
When i open a shared file and make changes, the process of saving takes too long even some times "Not Responding".
I manage to find out that the problem is when i make SMB connection to the file server with "Dialect" 3.1.1.
When i disable SMB2 on the file server and the connection to the file server is SMB1 ("Dialect" 1.5) i have no issues.
But the problem is that Win10 and newer versions of server do not have enabled SMB1 by default.
BR,

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?

FSRM / Filegroup limit?
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?

Win7 user is unable to see folders when using FQDN, if the user try to use netBIOS name works fine
recently, a user complained about loosing access to some folders on a a FileServer
user access was ok, and, at some point in time, the folders and files were missing
Other users are OK, Windows 10, Windows 7, this particular machine is the only windows7 (i suppose) 32-bits PC left in the company and some WEEKs ago we changed some policies regarding LM protocol, forbiding it use, in GPOs for servers and clients, avoiding the use of LM (not NTLM) protocol on SAM databases and network conenctions
If i map the drive letter, folder is empty
if i create a shortcut, folder is empty
and
if I type \\UNC\share.. on Windows Exploer.. it works! user can see fles, folders
Users MUST see by using drive letters, because of several MS Excel linked files tied to the drive letter
What i did:
1) deleted sofwtare\currenteversion\windows mountPoints2 regkey to avoid ghost drive letters
2) killed explorer.exe, logoff/logon, reboot
3) mapped letter using CMD/net use and windows explorer too, nothing...
this particular user is working on a HomeOffice basis, via VPN, like several other users, and other users re working with no problem, only this particular user is having problems
Now the weirdest part:
if i map the user using \\NETBIOSNAME\SHARE it works
If i map using \\NETBIOSNAME.MyADDmainSuffix\SHARE .. it doesn´t work!
This is very weird, because using the full FQDN (perfectly DNS-resolvable) it doens´t work, but using the simple NetBIOS (short) name it works...
the server names has 9 letters - SRV-ABC99 and the FQDN has 18 positions SRV-ABC99.local.net, but it´s not suppose to happen, ebcause I have a proper DNS infrastructure and also a WINS infrastructure and the DNS is accessible

Can you Copy/Move a VSS Shadow Copy to Another LUN on the Same Server?
I use daily tape backups now and keep a monthly forever. If I use VSS I know that the daily copy will overwrite itself depending on storage space which is fine. Can I copy/move the a VSS to another LUN on the same server for safe keeping and if needed
move/copy it back? I don't want to move the storage location (so the daily's can stay there), I just want to move the monthly.

Windows 2019 Storage Space: Slow Sequential Read Performance on Mirrored (RAID 1) Volume
While I am quite happy with the random read / seq. write and random write performance, sequential read on a Mirrored Storage Volume is somewhat strange - it looks like only one out of the 2 disks was serving my I/O requests. Is there any thing I need to check, or this is just a "normal" behavior of SS that's not quite normal?
Please see the below simple comparison I did between SS Mirrored and VROC RAID 1. Unfortunately not all slots on the M/B has VMD enabled so SS needs to come into the picture.
SS:
2x Intel P3700 2TB - Mirrored
SEQ1M QD=16 T=1: Read: 2757.57 MB/s Write: 2014.33 MB/s
SEQ1M QD=1 T=1: Read: 1157.53 MB/s Write: 1770.58 MB/s
Random 4k QD=32 T=16: Read: 2997.89 MB/s Write: 1752.23 MB/s
VROC:
2x Intel P3700 2TB - RAID 1 via VMD
SEQ1M QD=16 T=1: Read: 5579.43 MB/s Write: 2029.85 MB/s
SEQ1M QD=1 T=1: Read: 1732.4 MB/s Write: 1920.70 MB/s
Random 4k QD=32 T=16: Read: 3282.03 MB/s Write: 1727.10 MB/s

Generate reports of permissions for non-technical managers.
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to generate easy to read NTFS permission reports.
These reports will be presented to non-technical managers before data migration takes place.
I've been tasked to find a solution that shows company owners permissions of interest, to help them decide who they want to give access to their shares. The reports need to be precise but still show relevant information.
I've had a look at cjwdev's ntfs tool, but it got flagged up in our system for mining data.

Storage Pools has Siezed Hyper-V Passthrough Disks that contain a storage pool that was used by the client.
Hello,
I have a Windows 2016 server configured with Storage Pools. The server us also a Hyper-V host.
So here is the issue. I created a Hyper-V client and set it up to use some passthrough disks. These disks were not part of any storage pools. When initially setup the disks were taken offline so they could be setup as pass through disks. All of this worked without any issue.
On the client OS (Windows 2016) I setup a Storage Pool on the Pass Through Disks. Again all of this work as intended.
Well today a rebooted the Host OS. Apparently the Host OS (Windows 2016) recognized the Storage Pool on the disks that were being used as pass through disks and presented the storage pool to the Host OS and locked the disks. so they cannot be passed through to the client.
I had previously set these disks offline as is required for using them as pass through disks in Hyper-V. Apparently Storage Pools mounted and used them anyway.
How can I configure Storage Pools to ignore and leave these disks alone. I don't want Storage Pools to touch these disks, I want them as pass through disks to Hyper-V.
Thanks

Storage Replica - Optimal Network Configuration
I have 4 Windows 2019 virtual servers running in VMWare and on a single domain. (2 in one site and 2 in another geographical site). Everything has been replicating fine. I currently have 1 VMXNET network card configured on each host and everything is replicating fine but I want to optimize this configuration prior to putting it into production. I have several VLAN options at my disposal but I'm not sure what the optimal number of NICs are.

DFS Replication - Compressing a folder participating in DFS Replication results to a zipped file twice as large as the folder itself
We're using this command to create a daily backup of a folder by zipping it:
[io.compression.zipfile]::CreateFromDirectory($Source, $destination)
We noticed that after setting up DFSR, the size of the zipped file becomes twice as large as zipped files from the previous days. When checking the folder itself, it's half of the newly created zipped file. There are also thrice as many files in the zipped folder when checking its Properties but judging from the contents, there are no extra files created.
I know that sometimes compression doesn't really result to a smaller file, but creating a file twice as large weirds me out. I wonder if the extra files it sees are from the branch server.
Does anyone have an idea?
