Enable Shadow Copies for Shared Folders in a Failover Cluster (2012 R2)
I cannot find a reference on how to Enable Shadow Copies for Shared Folders in a Failover Cluster
using separate disks for Data and Shadow Copies, using Windows Server 2012 R2. I found an article for Server 2003, but that doesn't solve my issue.
Enable Shadow Copies for Shared Folders in a cluster. Can someone point me to documentation on how to setup properly?
I have a 3 server failover cluster, a single fileserver role with a 2 TB data storage drive and a 200 GB disk for shadow copy drive. The 2 TB is ReFS and being used by Home Directories. The 200 GB is also ReFS, but I didn't have a letter
assigned, but it is associated with the fileserver role.
Any help is appreciated.

As mentioned above I spotted Shadow Copy configuration problems in clustered environment on Windows 2012 R2 with latest updates.
Enabling Shadow Copy via Cluster Manager on disk will enable schedule and snapshots but schedule is not-cluster aware (is created locally on node) and "Previous Versions" are visible only locally but not via shared folders (UNC path accesible by
clients)
When I spotted this behavior I tried different way going via Computer Management and cluster resource name but console always hangs for me when using "Configure Shadow Copies". After many minutes configuration window is opened (Hurray!) but any
action there will hang whole console again. Enabling Shadow Copies will fail with "0x80004005: Unspecified
error" for creating scheduled task but "Next Run Time" column still shows "Disabled". Checking disk resource via Cluster Manager shows it is enabled and ?local? scheduled task is created.
Computer management console still shows DISABLED and any action freezes whole console (only when cluster resource name is used).
This fix I found, unfortunately, is not applicable to 2012 R2 OS: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2894464
To sum up there is a major bug in MS implementation in Shadow Copies for Shared Folders when clustering is used or it is still not supported in 2012 R2? Doing it outside cluster works as it should (without freezes and Previous Versions are available via
UNC)
There is no documentation about FileServer Clustering on 2012(R2) unfortunately.
Could someone from MS clarify it?
Many thanks

EDIT:
Ok, one correction:
Scheduled task is not created in "Failover Clustering" hive of Scheduled tasks as user may expect but failover of fileshare to other node will unregister/reregister it on active node only.

I have successfully installed and configured outlook 2013 to access my pop.integra.net email accounts. We have an 2003 exchange server we use for shared folders which I am having difficulty accessing.
My preference would be to set up my access to the exchange server and use the same data folders for email as are in use for my pop email account. In outlook 2003 this was simple, but in 2007 on up it seems this feature has been hobbled. Is there
a workaround to get both accounts to use the same database?
Next issue is if I use the Mail client wizard under Control Panel to set up access to the exchange server - everything looks fine but when launching outlook I receive the following 2 error messages:
"The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance."
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that your are using. Contact your administrator for assistance."
Obviously the optimal solution is to upgrade the Exchange Server - assuming that is not an option - are there any workarounds?
Any assistance would be appreciated.Downgraded to Office 2007.
So now have a new Windows 8.1 laptop with outlook 2007 installed.
From what I have been told this should allow me to connect to the Exchange2003 server
I set up the pop account - works fine
set up the exchange account through Mail.exe and am unable to launch outlook.
"Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable"
"Retry - Work Offline - Cancel"
Then
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."
The data file path is the same for both the pop account and the exchange account:
C:\Users\Scott\app data\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst
How do I get this to work?

Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?
I believe Archiving will only archive the users emails not any messages displayed in a shared folder.
But when I do a FIND search by date, I still see all those messages from shared folders that other users own.
Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?
Further is there a way to differentiate or filter in a FIND search for shared folders that only I own, or shared folders that are owned by other people?condor wrote:
> The Archiving process knows not to move messages from folders that are owned

The archiving process isn't "allowed" to move messages from folders that are
owned by others. This is a different matter altogether. Archiving systems
typically use either IMAP or SOAP for their access, and cannot access folders
shared by other users (Nexic Discovery is different in this if you use the API
version of it, because it can see shared folders, and will archive if you
request it).
You are comparing apples and oranges unfortunately, and the client was built to
be able to manage shared folders unlike the archiving program.
As Michael says, you can choose to not "look in" shared folders if you do not
want them to show up in a find results.

"Enable Access Control" for shared directory is grayed out
For shared directories in WorkGroup Manager, the checkbox "Enable Access Control" is grayed out. I want to enable ACL on a directory I have moved from another volume. The "Enable disk quotas" is also grayed out.
How do I turn on Enable ACL?
DennisACLs are enabled at the volume level. In the Sharing panel of WGM, you need to click the "All" tab so that you see more than just your sharepoints. Select the disk volume upon which your directory is located and then the "Enable Access Control" option should become available to you.
Note that enabling the ACLs doesn't apply them. Your directory will continue to use POSIX permissions until you specifically apply ACLs to it.

Server 2003: make user template with read-only access for shared folders
I have need to make a type of user (like Administrator, Power User, Mobile User, User, etc.) that has read-only acess to shared folders. So when I make a new user and assign the "read-only user" template I wish to have, the user can open files
in the shared folders on the server, but not edit, save or delete files. Other users can and should remain able to edit, save & delete.
Before I dig in, is this even possible?You could create a Group called ReadOnly, and set that to have Read on the ACLs of the relevant files or folders.
Make that template user a member of that group.
As long as they are not also a member of another group that gives them higher permissions, this would work.
Otherwise set the ReadOnly group to deny Write, which would over ride any other permission set.
So,
Folder A
ACL:
ReadOnly : R
Users: Read/Write
If a user is a member of Users & ReadOnly, they would get read/write to Folder A. As permissions are cumulative.
If you did the following:
Folder A
ACL:
ReadOnly : R
ReadOnly: Deny Write
Users: Read/Write
The users in ReadOnly would be denied write, as it overrides the cumulative permissions.

Selecting VHDx as storage for File Server Role (Failover Cluster 2012 R2)
Is it possible to select an already existing (offline) VHD or VHDX as storage when creating the "File Server" role? Reason I want to do that is because I already have a file server setup as a virtual machine and causing issues so my company
decided to make the change towards a File Server role.
Thank you
DavidHi David,
Do you mean you configured it to file server failover cluster via "High Availability Wizard" ?
I think you need to choose a shared volume between two nodes to achieve high availability .
Please refer to following link :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=WS.10).aspx
If you do not select a shared volume , I think there is no difference than sharing a mounted VHDX file on a standalone file server .
I would suggest to copy these files to CSV and share them .
Hope it helps

Read and write access for shared folders shouldn't be enabled but it is.
I have an external hard drive with all my media stored on it. This is shared over the local network so that others on my network can access it.
However I set it u for read only access (I dont want the rest of my family to be able to delete files) but it persists to have read & write privaleges.
Im sure im missing a really obvious point but I can't work it out. So was hoping someone could help.
In System Pref-Sharing-File Sharing the folder is shared with 3 users added:
Alastair Riddle (Read and Write) <----My account
Staff (Read Only)
Everyone (Read Only)
I have applied permission to all folders, but guests appear to be able to log on and have full read write privaleges.
Your help would be appreciated,
AliI'm no expert on this one, but for the others to be included under the Staff heading, I believe they have to be added to that group.
It may be easier to add them by name and set to read-only, and add an entry for Guest as read-only.
And ensure that the external drive has Owners Enabled. -
Shadow Copies on 2012 R2 File Server Cluster
Hello all!
I've inherited a two node physical 2012 R2 file server cluster that contains a few SMB shares on a single clustered disk. I'd like to enable shadow copies for this shared disk but want to store the shadow copy data on its own shared disk
as per shadow copy best practices (at least on non-clustered file servers).
I created a second cluster disk, assigned it to the same resources as the SMB clustered disk.
Now historically I've enabled shadow copies through computer management but I want to ensure the shadow copies are cluster aware so in the Failover Cluster Manager I open Storage | Disks and right click the SMB cluster disk and click the Shadow Copies tab.
From the tab I can Enable shadow copies, this sounds like what I'm looking for, unfortunately it does not give me an option to choose a disk/volume to store my shadow copy data, so this can't be right.
My next step was to connect computer management to the cluster virtual server name (NOCFS4) and through the System Tools | Shared Folders | All Tasks | Configure Shadow Copies it shows me the correct number of shares on the SMB cluster disk plus
I can see the Settings button for configuring the location and size limit for shadow copies, however once I tweak the shadow copy location and size settings, click Ok and click Enable to turn on the shadow copies I get a long pause and an error about
not being able to create a schedule. So it seems connecting to the cluster virtual object is not the answer either.
That leaves using computer management to connect to one of the physical server nodes of the cluster. When I open the shadow copy interface on the physical node I note that it shows a 0 for the number of shares it detects on the SMB clustered disk.
This doesn't surprise me since this interface isn't cluster resource aware.
So I'm stuck. Does anyone know the "Microsoft way" to enable shadow copies on a clustered disk while storing the shadow copy data on a second cluster disk both attached to the same cluster resource?Hi guys
I spotted exactly same problem right now on Windows 2012 R2 with latest updates.

Hi,
New to 2012 and implementing a clustered environment for our File Services role. Have got to a point where I have successfully configured the Shadow copy settings.
Have a large (15tb) disk. S:
Have a VSS drive (volume shadow copy drive) V:
Have successfully configured through Windows Explorer the Shadow copy settings.
Created dependencies in Failcover Cluster Server console whereby S: depends on V:
However, when I failover the resource and browse the Client Access Point share there are no entries under the "Previous Versions" tab.
When I visit the S: drive in windows explorer and open the Shadow copy dialogue box, there are entries showing the times and dates of the shadow copies ran when on the original node. So the disk knows about the shadow copies that were ran on the
original node but the "previous versions" tab has no entries to display.
This is in a 2012 server (NOT R2 version).
Can anyone explain what might be the reason? Do I have an "issue" or is this by design?
All help apprecieated!

Kathleen Hayhurst Senior IT Support AnalystHi,
Please first check the requirements in following article:
Using Shadow Copies of Shared Folders in a server cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779378(v=ws.10).aspx
Cluster-managed shadow copies can only be created in a single quorum device cluster on a disk with a Physical Disk resource. In a single node cluster or majority node set cluster without a shared cluster disk, shadow copies can only be created and managed
locally.
You cannot enable Shadow Copies of Shared Folders for the quorum resource, although you can enable Shadow Copies of Shared Folders for a File Share resource.
The recurring scheduled task that generates volume shadow copies must run on the same node that currently owns the storage volume.
The cluster resource that manages the scheduled task must be able to fail over with the Physical Disk resource that manages the storage volume.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected] -
Enable shadow copy on failover disk
Hello!
I have:
1) Failover cluster with 2 hosts on Windows server 2012 r2
2) Role: File Server
How i can create\enable shadows copy for cluster disk (File server disk) to another disk?
C уважением к Вам, ЯHi MeLo4,
We can enable shadow copies on the disk which are clustered, but this should not be considered as a backup solution, CSVs support backup requestors that are running Windows
Server 2008 R2 Backup or Windows Server 2012 Backup. However, Windows Server Backup generally provides only a basic backup solution that may not be suitable for organizations with larger clusters. You can refer the following related KB:

Beware UNC path syntax for shared dirs used in a windows cluster!
This seems to be an undocumented but vital piece of information:
If you are setting up a Windows based cluster and you are using UNC paths
to identify the shared file locations for IntradocDir (Instance Dir), Vault dir
and Weblayout dir, please start your paths with 4 backslashes!
For instance, if you are putting your share on \\MYNAS\share\cs
The paths as configured in the intradoc.cfg should follow this pattern:
IntradocDir=\\\\MYNAS/share/cs
VaultDir=\\\\MYNAS/share/cs/vault
WeblayoutDir=\\\\MYNAS/share/cs/weblayout
Now, the documentation, if read carefully, will lead you to believe starting
with two forward slashes will work.
In other words, like this:
IntradocDir=//MYNAS/share/cs
And on an initial system start, it may even seem good to go, BUT BEWARE!
When using only the forward slashes, at least two problems may arise:
1. Any custom component which use java and therefore require a classpath may
fail to load their classes. This will result in ClassNotFound exceptions
when class loading is attempted.
2. OracleTextSearch may not be able to index files and you will see "oit" errors
in the log.
This may be jvm and windows version specific but I noticed this on Windows server 2008 R2
using the JRockit 64 bit jvm.As mentioned above I spotted Shadow Copy configuration problems in clustered environment on Windows 2012 R2 with latest updates.
Enabling Shadow Copy via Cluster Manager on disk will enable schedule and snapshots but schedule is not-cluster aware (is created locally on node) and "Previous Versions" are visible only locally but not via shared folders (UNC path accesible by

I can't use shared folders feature in VMware
Arch Linux is the guest system. Windows 7 is the host OS. I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1. After installing vmware tools (the original ones) I can't mount my shared folder. It says
~ mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
I've already searched the forum but I didn't find any solution to my problem.
[Update]
I think that it has something to do with the fact that vmware module sources are not compatible with the new UID and GID types:
uid_t -> kuid_t
gid_t -> kgid_t
I admit that I have no idea about patching sources. I've found this thread. It helped me with patching the vmhgfs module. Unfortunately the vmci module is still failing to compile because it's not patched yet. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
[Workaround]
Well I gave up. I've chosen the easiest way - Samba.

The VM communication interface socket family is used in conjunction with the VM
communication interface to provide a new communication path among guests and
host. The rest of this software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature. If you wish to have the VSOCK feature you can
install the driver by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure
that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are
installed on your machine. These packages are available on your distribution's
installation CD.

I managed to compile open-vm-tools and the kernel module against 3.14.5 kernel. Here is the tarball with the all the files.
I still have an issue : With vmware-player 6.0.2, I can't acces my shared folder :
root@P146S011b ~ # lsmod | grep hgfs
vmhgfs 41622 0

Could not add entry to mtab, continuing
root@P146S011b ~ # tail -1 /etc/mtab

root@P146S011b ~ # cd /mnt

Forgot to add an install file with a depmod -a inside. You will have to run it by yourself -
Ubuntu 15.04 guest shared folders feature not working
I've attempted to use the tools from the player, use the open-vm-tools package. I even tried compiling open-vm-tools from source and I could fix some compilation errors but it got too complicated. After spending half a day on it, I gave up.
Running the vmware-config-tools.pl script gives errors.
Some of the output of running the script is below.

[ Press Enter key to continue ]Same issue. Apparently the VMWare Tools for Linux just haven't been updated for the newest versions of the Linux kernel.
Now that Ubuntu 15.04 has been officially released I'd guess a new version of VMWare Tools will be released shortly. I hope somebody from VMWare can give us a window of when we can expect this to happen. -
Hello,
I have messaging server 7 installed on solaris 10 x86 machine.
In comm Express I was trying to a share folder.
ex.
user 1 and user 2 are able to share folders
user3 and user 4 are able to share folders
however user3 or user4 are not able to share folder with user 1 and user2 ...and same in reverse.
folder is shared still while searching for shared folders it says no shared folders found for this user.
the difference here is that user1 and user2 are on same mail host and user3 and user4 are no another.
Does this make any difference? or should I check something else also?
regards,

Does this make any difference? or should I check something else also?The behaviour you have described is expected. Enabling shared IMAP folders for users on different mail-stores requires that you configure distributed shared folder on each of the mail-store systems. This is all documented in the manual:
