Workfolder client on Server 2019

January 31, 2020, 2:11 am

Good day

We are in the process of configuring 6 new load balanced Terminal servers in a new datacenter environment.

We have build a NEW domain, therefor a new active directory.

Our users are used to using workfolders across their existing devices and i would like to configure workfolders for them on their terminal sessions on the new environment. I cannot seem to find the workfolders client on their terminal server sessions, but after research, ive found that there is no client for terminal users using server 2019 datacenter. 

therefor i have two questions

1.) How can i get workfolders to work on server 2019?

2.1) How can i generate those workfolders folders without having users needing to log into a machine that has the profile.

2.2) Is there some sort of script or process i can run to create about 800 user workfolders?

Regards

windows 2016 long path names stopped working

Hi Community,

On our Windows 2016 instances on AWS, the long path names are no longer working. That is, the restriction of the file path length of 260 characters that existed for Windows Versions up to 8.1 / Server 2012R2, was released as of Win 10 / Server 2016.

When we set up our AWS servers with Win 2016, I’ve done the necessary configuration to enable long path names, as suggested here: https://mspoweruser.com/ntfs-260-character-windows-10/ Also, as per our users, the long path names worked fine until about last week. It stopped working out of a sudden this week, and I have no clue what happened.

Is anyone experiencing /aware of similar issues?

Thanks,
Harald

Hi all,

we want to move data from an Windows Server 20082 R2 to an new Server 2019.
After copying was done, several files were found in the downloadable error log, but the files also exists with all ACE´s inside.

So, need to know, what details behind of that errors and what can I do to resolved it.
Below you´ll find 1 line (anonymised) from the downloaded csv error file:

PathTypeSizeAttributesCreatedLastAccessedLastModifiedOwnerACLErrorChecksumIsSourceReparsePointLastTransferIntent
K:\folder1/folder2/file1.xlsxFile0001.01.0001 01:00:0001.01.0001 01:00:0001.01.0001 01:00:005FalseModifyMeta

I wonder about the "Created/LastAccessed/Last modified" strange dates; on the sourceserver, it all looks ok.

Anyone had also this problem and can help me resolve it?

Thank you!

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

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

External hard disk gives error "this disk is write protected" only when I insert to the domain controller

I have new external hard disk in my domain controller when I try copy file to the external hard disk it says " this disk is write protected". But if remove the external hard disk and insert it to other computers like laptop other than the domain controller it works perfectly fine. The only issue is when I insert it to the domain controller that is when I can't copy file to the disk and it gives me this error. If I go the disk part and see "currently read only state: no"

Please can anyone help because I want to take backup using the external hard disk and I think the issue is the domain controller, may be there is something locking the hard disk in the domain controller, but I don't know what that is or how to fix. Also I'm using windows server 2012 as my domain controller.

Mapped network drives disconnect after some time

Hello everybody,

A customer is running Windows Server 2019 Terminal and File servers. The terminal servers map network drives to a file share on the file server. We have problems with two applications, because the network drives are in a disconnected state after some time:

- One has an Access database residing on the file server, accessed from several users. Access crashes on disconnect because its file handles to the database file do not work any longer.

- A .net desktop application is used and its .exe and .dll reside on the file server. The users start the .exe from the mapped drive. When the mapped drives goes into the disconnected state, and the application needs to load something from one of its DLLs, the application crashes with an unhandled exception. The event log says that the .net runtime could not continue because the network connection was disconnected.

We have followed https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/297684/mapped-drive-connection-to-network-share-may-be-lost and set the LanManServer parameters to disconnect after 5000 instead of 15 minutes (on the file server), and set the LanManWorkstaition parameters to disconnect after 65535 instead of 600 seconds (on the terminal servers). But this did _not_ help.

I guess we do not need to discuss whether Access databases are fantastic or file servers are fantastic or running .exes from file shares is fantastic ;-) The question is simple:What can we do to keep the network drives connected, please?

Best Regards, Stefan Falk

Redirected folders - Excel creates .TMP files while word renames them

April 4, 2019, 8:40 pm

User creates an excel document and saves it to their documents folder, the file name is correct on the users device but on the server share it's named as XXXXXX.tmp where X is random numbers. If the user closes the document now the server file remains as the .TMP file. If the user makes additional changes and clicks save a 2nd file with the correct file name and excel extension appears on the server share while the original .tmp file remains as well.

If I perform a manual sync or log off\log on sync centre reports that all files are in sync, even if there is just a .tmp file not the correct file + the .tmp file

If there is the correct file + a .tmp file users can open the file and make edits and save and the correct file is updated not the .tmp file. If a user saves a file, closes it there is only a .tmp file on server. If they reopen it and then save a new .tmp file is created on the server while their correct file is updated.

If a user saves then closes only the .tmp resides on the server while locally the correct file exists, if I delete the .tmp file then sync centre advises there is a conflict after 24 hours. If it is less than 24 hours then nothing is reported and only the user has a copy of the file. After 24 hours sync centre advises a file on the server was deleted, what do you want to do with the local copy. The options are to keep the local copy and save it to the server or delete the local copy as well.

This happens in both Windows 7 and Windows 10 and only occurs with Excel and with offline files enabled, word creates then renames the tmp file successfully. If redirected folders only then the file renames for Excel as well.

Following a networking issue that disrupted our FailoverCluster last week, DFS replication has stopped on our primary server (Server 2016).  It appears the database needs to be rebuilt.  What is the best way to do this?

Here is the error text from the DFS Diagnostic Report for one of the Resource Groups on the volume:

A database problem is blocking replication on volume W:.  
  Affected replicated folders: Common 
  Description: The DFS Replication service was unable to recover from an internal database error on volume W:. Replication has stopped for all replicated folders on this volume until the database is automatically rebuilt. If the database is rebuilt successfully, replication will resume after the rebuilding is complete. If the database cannot be rebuilt, a separate event is generated. If you are seeing this error more than two times in seven days, we recommend that you run Chkdsk on the volume that contains the database. Event ID: 2104

Server 2016 DFS migration

I am migrating DFS shares on old file servers to server 2016. I can add the members based on existing memberships using powershell but when I try to set the membership to read only using powershell I get the following error:

Set-DfsrMembership : The read only property is not supported. The read only property is not supported.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName $ServerDFSGroup -ComputerName $NewServe ...

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DfsrCore.ThrowIfInconsistent,Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.Commands.SetDfsrMembershipCommand

As a work around I have been manually setting them to read only using the DFS Management pane. Can anyone explain why I would be getting this error and how to work around it? I have tried setting it to read only when I set the other DFS properties and I've also tried setting it independently in a separate command. I am using the same variables to set the other DFS properties without issue.

4012 DFS Replication issue

Hi All,

I have recently transferred FSMO roles from a primary domain controller to a secondary controller. the new DC which holds the FSMO roles has following error. the netlogon folder is not replicating among rest of the domain controllers. what is the best way to get this replication issue resolved and get rid of this error. i have much bunch of articles about this issues but got confused with different approaches on different articles.

The DFS Replication service stopped replication on the folder with the following local path: C:\Windows\SYSVOL_DFSR\domain. This server has been disconnected from other partners for 332 days, which is longer than the time allowed by the MaxOfflineTimeInDays parameter (60). DFS Replication considers the data in this folder to be stale, and this server will not replicate the folder until this error is corrected.
 
To resume replication of this folder, use the DFS Management snap-in to remove this server from the replication group, and then add it back to the group. This causes the server to perform an initial synchronization task, which replaces the stale data with fresh data from other members of the replication group.
 
Additional Information:
Error: 9061 (The replicated folder has been offline for too long.)
Replicated Folder Name: SYSVOL Share

Thank you.

Storage Spaces with SSD Tiering on a local server (Not S2D)

February 3, 2020, 11:50 am
$

Struggling to get this conceptually, so hopefully someone here can shed some light on this.

We're trying to implement storage spaces on a single 2019 server having (2) 800GB SSD's and (5) 1.8TB 10K SAS drives. The goal was to set up a mirror of the SSD's and use it to accelerate a RAID5 of the spinning disks (we have one hot spare). It seems that when you create a pool of all disks listed, you can only mirror to get parity (I'm assuming because we have only 2 SSD), so I think I'm approaching this wrong (thinking it's more like a SAN based performance tier which can be on different raid types than the standard tier). Should we be adding a third SSD so that we have uneven numbers of both disk types or am I going about this all wrong? I based the theory on a Storage Spaces Direct article which I'm now thinking is not applicable in a single server deployment (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/refs/mirror-accelerated-parity).

When we use all of the disks in a mirror pool (burning more spinning disks than desired), we then can't deploy a single vdisk across the pool using the maximum space (I'm assuming because the uneven disks on the spinning side creates an issue with virtually writing even mirror pairs). By simply splitting it into 2 volumes, it seems to work much better and allows us to use almost the entire pool (hard to get the vdisk sizes perfect to get an even split). We basically want one pool, tiered to house Hyper-V guests. Some of them will be Hyper-V replicated to another hosts set up the exact same way. They're in a separate IP subnet, so replicas are the simplest way for us to handle a failover (as opposed to a cluster). 

Any thoughts on this topic? Searching has been tough as everything references Storage Spaces Direct and my eyes are blurry from trying to separate the two methods.

Thanks in advance,

Eric

Sorry we couldn't find is it possible it was moved renamed or deleted

I have an issue that just started in the last couple of weeks. There have been no security/permissions changes on my file servers, no updates or software installed, and no updates installed on the Windows 10 clients that correlate to when this happened.

If someone tries to access a file that they have permissions to access on any of my file servers, all works fine. But if that same person tries to access that same file when someone else already has it open, the get a "Sorry we couldn't find filename.xls, it is possible it was moved renamed or deleted" popup. If they click OK to that popup, it then tells them it can't access the file because either the file name or path doesn't exist, it's being used by another program, or the workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

This same scenario used to just cause a popup that said so and so had it open and gave them an option to open as read only or notify to notify them when the file is no longer in use.

However, if that same person accesses the file share directly by clicking Start and entering\\servername\sharename and browsing to the file, they get the Open in Read only or Notify options as expected.

I did see some articles about this from 2018 but the servers and clients are current with updates, including the fix Microsoft released back then for this very same issue

Below are the Share and NTFS permissions granted to the user. Again, this hasn’t change and has worked like this for years. And from what I can see, this only seems to be happening to Excel spreadsheets.

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

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

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.

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

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?

I want to have a network share that is only able to be accessed from one computer and no other computers on the network.

I have tried to add computer Name $ to the permissions and security settings. When I do that there is no access to the share I can add a user to both and then I can get to the share but it is from all computers.

I have also tried adding a condition in advanced security for the user to be on the device and that does not work as well.

How would I set up the permissions and security settings so I can have the share only accessible from one computer?

Thanks
