Design Centralize File Service

Hi All,
We have 6 Branch office locations and a centralized Datacenter and DR Site. File Services
which are currently residing in Branch office locations, need to be centralized.
I like to setup all the users Home Folders and Redirected Folders ( Desktop/MyDocs) to Production Datacenter and then replicate to DR?
Is this good idea or what is the recommended or best practice?
I need to remove all the site Backup servers/Tapes/and Offsite storage contract /backup software..
Also i like to have a one MAP drive to access business data in anywhere is these offices.
Again solution must be robust and no disruptions to the business.
You can ask me for any further clarifications on this.
Regards,
As

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Do you setup the users Home Folders and Redirected Folders on the File Services which are currently residing in Branch office locations before? If you replicate the users Home Folders and Redirected Folders to DR, you can use DFS Replication achieve this.
Overview of DFS Replication
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771058.aspx
If you want to migrate the MAP drive from Branch office to Production Datacenter, the simplest way is to create a namespace then change the DFSRoots location to new server location. This way will interrupt the business when you map the drive with DFS Namespace
path.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:

Difference Between Data Services Designer and Data Services Workbench

Hello All,
I am new to Data Services .
What is the difference between Data Services Designer and Data Services Workbench .
Am bit confused in the above two .
Please help me to understand the same.
Thanks in advance.
Aisurya

Workbench is used to create, display and modify the objects. It will display the source table data and we can see the logs of the job which we have executed and also we can see the status of a job. In bods 4.2 you can design the dataflow in workbench in previous release we don’t have that option but designer contains debugging option, you can write scripts, it will support all databases; these option are not available in workbench. for more information refer this document:

Hi,
I'd like to use the http dynamic streaming functionality in my own video player. So far my investgations have led me to
1) Try to see how the OSMF have implemented the classes (although I read the code I cant get ay to compile so I have abandoned this thread)
2) Looked at earlier tutorials highlighting the use of rtmp dynamic classes (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1.html) although this alludes to the newer http features there is no example and what there is uses Flash as an environment
3) Browsed the forums.
We use flex to build our player. Is there an "from scratch" example of how to code a http dynamic player in code.
Thanks,

How do I find the MAC address of a CLIENT ACCESS POINT created from the FILE SERVICES ROLE

I have several Client Access Points created within the clustered File Services Role. The only way I seem to be able to determine the MAC address of each of these, is by visiting the DHCP server.
Does anyone know if there is a way of reporting on this from the server (active node) itself? I have tried ipconfig all, checked the properties of the CAP in the FCS console etc.
Many thanks.
Kathleen Hayhurst Senior IT Support Analyst

Hi,
As far as I know there have no original option for query all the CAP MAC address, may you can create a PowerShell command then filter the configuration result, you can ask
in PowerShell forum for the further help.

What are the performance implications moving apps using cloud drive to Azure File Services?

I run a number of cloud services with 5 or more nodes in using cloud drives. Cloud drive is scheduled to be deprecated in 2015. So I am thinking of replacing the cloud drive with Azure Files service.
For each cloud service I am using one storage account to create all the the VHD/cloud drives. Some people at the time when cloud drive first appeared, told me that to get better performance, I should create only one VHD/Cloud Drive
under only one storage account. For example, if I have five instances under a worker role then I should create 5 storage accounts and create one VHD/Cloud Drive under each storage account to be used by each node. I didn't follow that route because I was satisfied
with the performance of the apps under cloud services having all VHD/Cloud Drives under one storage account.
My question is, if I replace cloud drive with Azure file services, will my apps perform well having all shares under one storage account or create one storage account for each share?
Thanks,
@nazik_huq

Thanks Obama for replying.
Here is the comment from @jaiharidas of MSFT if anyone's interested:
@Naziq, It is better to have multiple shares under single storage account and there is no perf implications. However, please ensure that your ingress/egress and request/sec is within
the limits of a single storage account (seemsdn.microsoft.com/.../dn249410.aspx)
and use multiple storage accounts if you need to scale beyond the limits.

File Service to IDOC Scenario

HI ,
I am trying file service to IDOC scenario and iam getting following error "Unable to convert sender service FilesService_FILE2IDOC to an ALE logical system".
Here file has to be read and IDOC has to be posted in SAP system. Sender is not an SAP system / 3rd Party system ...itz an FILE sender service.
Settings i have done:
In Message Mapping in target IDOC structure i have disabled Control record
In integration directory IDOC Receiver Communication channel i have not selected "Apply Control Record values from Payload".
In receiver determination in header mapping i have put sender sevice "FilesService_FILE2IDOC ".
But still i receive the same error.
I do not want to send control record parameters in Message Mapping .
Pls throw some light on this ....
Regards
Sri

Hi Sridhar,
Regarding your error, below is the answer...
When you create the business system (in the SLD) you assign a "logical system name" or "ALE name". That is used as the ALE name for transporting IDOCs, and the sender system.
You have to also maintain this name in the R/3 System (tx. SALE, WE20), because IDOC will be noted as arriving from that system.
You also told that you dont want to pass the control records value....Do this, just deactivate the control records segments in your message mapping... let me not explain it further.... just check these blogs below for the same,

CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file

CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file.
I sent my graphic designer an .INX file created on CS2
and he got an error message and said he could not open.
He said it is not possible.
He lost the job - because he didn't want to investigate further.
I can't imagine ADOBE leaving this problem unsolved!
What do I do??

I don't recall that. I can visualise the situation, but then I would expect it to create the same lost feature problems as encountered in opening with an earlier version. So there would still be a risk that the file would lose something in translation.
And then again, if a CS2 plug-in has been used and is required to open the file, I would expect the translation into XML to ignore anything that can't be translated, and for the depleted file still to open in CS3.

How to design CAF Entity service?

hello,
here is my question.
how to design CAF Entity service?
i got employees data and departments data.
an employee can join over one department, and of course, a department had many employee.
in tradition RDBMS(relational database management system), i'll create three tables and named "Employee", "Department" and "DepEmp". the table "DepEmp" is a kind of table for N to N relaction.
but when i use CAF's entity service, i can't do like RDBMS.
i can create three entity services, named "Employee", "Department" and "DepEmp". i can make service refence(pull service from left side of windows), but the information about Key(in properties) cannot be "true".
how can i do?
is there a different normalization way i have to learn.

thank you so much, it really help.
but when the issue more complicated.
a employee can join multiple departments, and he/she got different job title in each department. case will like fallow.
Vic is a software engineer in XX company's IT department, and he is a MIS engineer in XX company's HR department.
the db( i'm sorry for take this for example) structure will like..
=======================================
table:employee
column:
employeeCode PK
name
phone
table:department
column:
departmentCode PK
name
location
table:jobTitle
column:
titleCode PK
name
description
table:deptEmployee
column:
employeeCode PK FK
departmentCode PK FK
titleCode PK FK
=======================================
my SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is version 7.0
1. how i make sure that three keys be mapped each other?(empCode,deptCode,titleCode)
2. is there have any "IUD abnormality" risk?
3. if there have, how can i avoid it?
thank you again, i'm sorry for ask much, because the way to design CAF Entity Service is that i didn't learn before. it really make me confused.
have a nice day

How do I view a list of connections (Connected users) to a service like web or file services?

how do I view a list of connections (Connected users) to a service like web or file services? you used to be able to do this in Server Admin in 10.6 by lleft clicking on a service like file sharing and the clicking connections located towards the top of the server admin window. This seems to havedisappeared in Lion server and its a useful feature
any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank You.

I've found a way through Terminal for AFP and Mail:

Authentication works for Wiki but not File Services

I setup Dual Open Directory Masters for 10.5 Servers, one server contains all my original directory information and is my MCX, File Services, and all the authentication works well on that server.
Now I have a second server setup with 10.5 as a second ODM to run the Wiki Service. Both the groups and the accounts reside on my first server. I use this server to host Wiki's but I would also like to use it as a backup server for a few computers to use Time Machine Server.
My Problem is the Authentication works great for the Wiki part of the server and the user groups and everything work fine on that. It aslo works with SSH and SFTP. However the Users will not Authenticate with AFP or SMB.
Anyone have suggestions on how to fix that last part?

Azure File Services Authentication without Prompt, Passthrough

I've started to review the possibility of using Azure File Services (Preview) in order to move Window Services from on-premise to VMs in Azure. The challenge here is that in Preview this requires an Interactive Login or a custom wrapper to access via a share/rest,
thus changing the idea of just "life and shifting" a Windows Service into Azure.
The current usage scenarios listed for the Preview are based mostly on the idea of a User vs. a Service accessing these files. I did create feedback here http://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback/suggestions/6189009-provide-directory-service-integration-with-azure-f
I'm wondering if anyone could think of different ways to accomplish this in Azure.

Hello E Irestone,
Currently Azure file services supports only REST and ‘Server Management Block’ protocol as you are already aware:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn194265.aspx
However, what you suggest to use ‘Active Directory services’ for user authentication is also a good idea. We appreciate your feedback.
You can also refer to this blog for more information on ‘Microsoft
Azure File Service’:

Apple File Service in Server Admin tools shows stopped but is running fine

Hi
I am having a bizzare issue and not getting anywhere fast and hope anyone can help and would be appreciated.
What happened is one disk failed in our Xserve Raid (Raid 5)and we had to replace the drive in the server which rebuilt itself fine.
The issue is since we rebuilt the raid, the Xserve is showing the Apple File Service as stopped with 10.3.9 server admin.
The service is running fine as all the users including myself can connect using AFP, but I have no way to manage the AFP connections on the server.
I have tried rebooting and putting the server tools on a desktop. Though I still have the same issue.
Has anyone come across a similar problem with a service running and unable to manage in Server admin?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bene
On the server launch terminal
su root (supply the password when prompted)
serveradmin status afp
The service should report that its ‘RUNNING’
serveradmin stop afp
serveradmins status afp
The service should report that its ‘STOPPED’
serveradmin start afp
serveradmin status afp
It should now be ‘RUNNING’ again
You could try running fsck and DiskWarrior on the RAID as the problem could lie with the Directory being damaged or corrupted. No need to reboot the server with the DiskWarrior disk (v3.03 or 4.0) just drag the application off the CD to the Server volume and run it from there. Make sure that all users are not connected to the RAID volume affected as DiskWarrior will unmount the whole drive.
Hope this helps.

"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

I had a similar issue - couldn't make any files available offline.
I found that the offline folder service would not start
This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed. I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
in control panel, disable the offline files, reboot, then re-enable. and now its working :)
2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

Windows File Service Log

Does anyone know how long info is retained in the Windows File Service Log?
AFP has the option to archive every x day(s), but this option is curiously missing from the Windows service.
