DFS Cloning - how to get this working

Hello,
I ran into a problem I'm hoping you will be able to help me with.
Next year we will be installing 2 servers in 2 offices. Those servers will replace our current file servers. Our current file servers run Windows Server 2003, and the new ones will run Server 2012 R2.
With the current setup, the data on Server-2003-A is backed up to Server-2003-B each evening using the following Robocopy command (initiated on Server 2003-B):
robocopy \\Server-2003-A IP Address\homedir d:\homedir /SEC /MIR /LOG:something.txt /W:3 /R:2 /NDL /NP
With the new servers we want to implement DFS Replication, the current servers do not have DFS installed.
And this is where it gets tricky.
The recommended way, which I know works fine, is to pre-seed the data by copying from one of the servers to another, with both of those servers eventually ending up in the same replication group. What we want to do is different. We want to copy:
- from Server-2003-A to Server-2012-A
- from Server-2003-B to Server-20012-B
And use Server-2012-A and Server-2012-B in the replication.
I ran a test. I used this Robocopy command on both Server-2003 machines:
Robocopy.exe "D:\Homedir\something"
\\Server-2012\E$\Homedir\something /E /B /COPYALL /R:6 /W:5 /XD DfsrPrivate /TEE
(I know the /XD parameter is not needed but at this point I believe it's irrelevant).
Afterwards I compared the file hashes on both Server-2012 machines. As I have feared, the file hashes are different. So at this point pre-seeding the data seems actually pointless.
Is copying the data over the WAN link really the only way to get this working? Or is there a workaround for this?
Kind regards,
Wojciech

Hi rozanw,
Migrate file server to 2012R2 DFS requirement at least Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 , and please try the following step by step official method use the Windows Server

How about taking a look at the String class. In jdk1.4 and later there are methods such as split() which can
split a paragraph up into sentances. (split(".") ) then can split the sentance up into words (split(" ")). Push
all of the words into a HashMap with an integer indicating the number of times they have occured.
Then run through the HashMap and for each entry search for vowels/sylables/whatever.
This is probably the easiset method of doing what you want but it is limited in the size of file it can parse
efficiently.

I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

Is fast boot not working for you? This is how you get it working correctly...

Ok so after two days of trying to register on this site, the 50th activation email finally worked...
Anyway I was trying to figure out why fast boot wasn't making much of a difference it seemed like once it booted quick but may have just been random. My setup is Z77a GD65 with two Samsung 830 128GB in RAID 0.
It was taking about 30 seconds from pushing the power button to getting into windows and that was with fast boot enabled. That did not seem right. After messing around for a while and researching I came across many mixed reviews about doing this or doing that. Windows 8 Feature... The windows 8 feature is from my understanding and research for secure boot...
If your just wanting the faster boot times using fast boot. Just enable MSI Fast Boot, and install the Fast Boot utility so you can get back into the bios. When you enable fast boot, this disables usb devices etc so you can't get into the bios when booting. This little utility is really useful as it will boot you from windows right into your bios etc. KEEP READING STILL NEED TO DO MORE!!!!!
Now for fast boot to work correctly you need to make sure you installed windows 8 in uefi mode. I read a couple people ask this question but I don't think they got the right answer or people just said yea I have a uefi motherboard and windows 8. That is not what people have been asking you.
To get this working correctly format a flash drive using rufus while choosing your win 8 iso.
You can get that here and it explains it and the settings to choose. I had to break up the link as the forum would not let me post the link. Maybe a mod can fix the links.
eightforums .com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html
After that is done you should then see in the bios a boot option for a UEFI usb flash drive. Make sure your boot mode is using UEFI. Otherwise it will be using legacy mode and not show uefi devices. I selected UEFI only just to make sure. Then choose this uefi flash drive as your first boot device and save and reboot to install windows from this uefi flash drive.
It should look like this
Once your at the install screen delete your partititons from the drive you are going to install windows on. So that it is unallocated. Then select new and apply. This will create 4 partitions. Here is a nice quide for doing that and explains it all. eightforums .com/tutorials/2328-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-8-a.html
Basically your partitions should look like this.
Once you have installed windows you will then know if you installed in uefi as your splash screen will be different. Instead of just the MSI splash screen you will then see the windows loading square/circle as well on this same splash screen. You will now have a boot option called UEFI Windows Boot Manager. Select that one as your first boot device and then enable MSI Fast Boot.
Sorry if this post is cluttered I will add some more pics and clean it up in a bit. It's really early.

If one SSD fails, you lose the data on both SSDs.
In your case, you lose 128 GB.
Period.
You continue to argue on silly things and you miss the main point:
RAID 0 on SSDs does not make any sense.
RAID 0 (striped volume) has been designed for spinners.
It's a workaround to reduce the access time (a few miliseconds) caused by the mechanical parts of the HDD.
For a SSD (with a few microseconds access time) does not bring any boost.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-raid-benchmark,3485-10.html
On contrary: shorter lifetime for both SSDs
So (for the last time) the best solution in your case is:
Put the OS on the first SSD (drive C) and the other programs/games on the second one (drive D).
There is no need to kill both SSDs at the same time (for nothing).
And finally, talking about this silly "fast boot" of yours:
5,10,20, or 30 seconds is something irrelevant.
Simply because you get the max speed on an "empty" OS only.
With every installed app (most of them come with bloatware anyway), your boot time is getting longer and longer.
On the other hand, who cares if it takes 10 or 20 seconds?
Only someone with mental problems needs to boot up the computer all day long.
99.99% of the users boot up the computer once or twice per day.
From my point of view, this topic is closed.
You're free to think and do anything you like.
I take it you are extremely hard headed and only view this from your opinion. Even with your logic of "If a drive fails you lose 128GB of data is wrong." If a drive fails I would lose 256GB of data if the RAID was full...
The way you originally worded it made it sound like you thought RAID 0 only uses the capacity of one drive... I was trying to clear that up by saying it uses the capacity of both drives and ends up being 256GB capacity but I guess you couldn't wrap your head around what I was trying to say.
Think what you want... but everyone I know on all of the tech forums I have been on for years, "EVGA, HARD, etc" 99% of users prefer running OS in RAID 0 on SSD's. Anyone with half a brain does not store important files on a RAID 0 array. I even created a new thread on EVGA asking how members prefer installing Windows with two identical SSD's. Most of them said they always run a RAID 0 for OS on SSD's. A couple others said they prefer running Windows/Programs on one SSD, and Games on the other. Usually that is because when they reformat they can simply re initialize the steam directory on the second SSD and then you don't have to reinstall all of your games.
I respect your opinion but saying RAID 0 on SSDs does not make any sense is crazy talk. And that fast boot is only for people with mental problems lol... you sir have issues. Why do you think they made this feature? Why do people OC? A lot of people do it because it is fun, they are enthusiast, and they like to push a system. Why do people buy SSDs if its only a few seconds faster when you only turn on your computer once twice a day? When you only open an app or launch a game a couple times a day.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Thank you so much in advance:)

That isn't possible. Firefox's AppleScript dictionary doesn't contain anything which can be used to manage JavaScripts.

I have been working around proI am advised to reinstall Lion. I don't have a recovery disk, I downloaded it but screwed up making the disk. Can anyone tell me how to get this.

I have had a number of problems since installing Lion on my iMac and am going to try reinstalling. I can't seem to find the recovery disk material from the App store. I downloaded it but think I should have copied the disk image rather than trying to open it as an App. You live and learn eh!
Will someone tell me how to get this.

The Lion Recovery disk is accessed by booting while holding down the command-r keys. To do a reinstall you do need an internet connection.

This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

Firstly, I note that your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.8, in order to use iCloud on your computer you need OS X 10.7.2 or better.
Secondly, I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Finally, are you sure that these additional addresses are aliases and not sub accounts on a family pack, aliases from MobileMe should transfer to an iCloud when you migrate.
