Folder Redirection with missing documents....in Server 2012

Hello all,
I need urgent help! We had folder redirection enabled for all our users to a SAN drive with the following settings:
Grant user exclusive rights to Documents
Disabled
Move the contents of Documents to the new location
Enabled
Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating
Systems
Enabled
Policy Removal Behavior
Restore contents
The SAN drive failed and the documents were no longer accessible! I disabled the policy and the users were able to access the files that had been synchronized to their PCs.
On recreating a new disk drive with the same drive letter and a folder with the same name as the old folder, I re-enabled the Folder Redirection Policy by changing the "GPO Status" from "All settings disabled" to "Enabled".
I also The users documents which were initially on their desktops and documents all disappeared!!!
How do I get them back?
I have disabled the policy and returned all the settings to disabled but the documents are yet to be restored!!! I need help as I don't know what else to do!

Hi,
Do we have backup for these files? Besides, we can also check whether some files are on the new disk drive.
Based on my understanding, the real files should still be on the failed SAN drive. If we can’t restore the drive, we can restore these files from
backup.
In addition, based on my test, we can create a new folder under Documents, and re-enable the policy to see whether we can find back some files.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012??????? What am I missing?

Hi there,
As per MS - SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed - now it does not let me install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (Standard without SP1).
AND SP1 can ONLY be installed AFTER SharePoint 2013 Enterprise is installed.
So how to install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012?
Thanks.

You can download it at the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center:
https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx
or at the Microsoft Developer Network:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
Please note that if you do not have access to either, you will have to work with the vendor who sold you SharePoint 2013 to get you a new ISO with SP1, or you will have to find a way to make a slipstreamed version on your own. I'm really hoping you
have VLSC or MSDN access, as this will make things much easier for you.

Folder redirection with Offline files enabled - Can I change the location of the locally cached files?

I have a 2012 r2 server setup with folder redirection and offline files enabled. All this works perfectly.
As you probably know, the local cache for offline files is stored at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\
The problem I have run into is that one user (who cannot be told to delete files cough ceo cough) has a very large documents folder, and a small SSD drive for his C drive. So the offline files are filling up his SSD. He wants all his files to be synced,
so decreasing the max disk usage is also not an option.
What I would like to do is move the Offline files to his D drive which is a large drive, however I have been unable to find any official method for doing this. Is there any provision to change this?
If not, would it work to move the entire \servername\ path to the d drive and then create a junction at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\ that points to d:\servername\?
Thanks,
Travis

Hi,
The following article is for Windows Vista but it should work at least in Windows 7.
How to change the location of the CSC folder by configuring the CacheLocation registry value in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937475
Meanwhile creating a symbolic link should also work like:
mklink /d "C:\Windows\CSC" "D:\CSC"
Note: It will create d:\csc folder so you do not need to manually create it.
Note 2: As mentioned above, you may need to re-sync the offline files. Personally I also think robocopy will not work.

Windows 8 - Folder Redirection policy missing from GP Results.

Hi guys! This has been giving me a hard time the last day or so. I've got some Win8 machines in our 2003 domain. I've got some GPO's applying with WMI filtering for win8 machines. Mostly these are ok, but i'm having a huge problem with Desktop Folder
Redirection.
After a fresh build and first login, everything works fine. Drive mappings are all there and the Desktop is redirected to to users home drive on the file server. This is being done with Advanced settings using group membership and set to "Create a folder
for each user under the root path" \\dfs1\users. This location is correct and permissions are fine of course as everything works for a while.
After a little while or some unknown event, this redirection stops working.
check these two screengrabs. These are different users on different machines. The machines are identical, are in the same OU and have the same image. The users are different but have the same group memberships and are in the same OU.
This is a working machine. Not the Folder Redirection component was processed and the Policy exists.
This machine is not working. Folder Redirection is processed, but the Policy is missing. Running a gpresult /v on this machine yields:
Folder Redirection
N/A
It was working fine yesterday and this morning. Now at some point a policy refresh stopped it from working. Just trying to figure out what! These are the exact settings currently in place for our win 7 machines which all work just fine. Going a bit crazy
tbh and usually when i post questions i figure it out shortly afterwards anyway huhu. Any help is appreciated!

well I though this issue was gone when I switched to a new Task Sequence in SCCM every machine that was built with that was working fine with Folder Redirection happening as it's meant to be. That was for about a week, now it's back to not working.

RelayState parameter is full support with ADFS in Windows Server 2012?

We have implement Single Sign-On with ADFS. (Service Provider - salesforce.com , identity provider - ADFS). When we authenticate with ADFS it will
authenticate successfully, but it will redirected to salesforce full site instead of mobile site. Salesforce document mentioned that we need to handle RelayState parameter on ADFS. And I saw some article mentioned that 'RelayState' parameter is not fully support
for Windows Server 2012. Please let us know Windows Server 2012 is fully support for the 'RelayState' parameter and if it is how to handle it on ADFS. Thanks.

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.

Cannot get Folder Redirect to work on RDS Server

OK here is what I am trying to do..
Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services
I want to redirect all user profile folders (Desktop, Music, etc...) to a remote share
\\server\share to which the share is actually only giving Read-Only rights. Except for Documents to which they can save there on the RDS Server itself.
I had a server drives hidden (A:, B:, C:, D:) hidden so they could only save to network shares and their local computers. However, the people in the UK complain that saving to their local computers is just painfully slow (the RDS Server is in
the US).
So, Now I'm only blocking the Server C: drive. I have a SUBST going on pointing B: to the user profile folders (needed for a different application anyway). I need to have the "B:\Documents" open for these guys to save to however, I
want to block saving to any of the other profile folders.
What I tried to do was to set a GPO up like below:
Computer\Admin Templates\RDS\Session Host\Profiles
Set path for RDS Roaming User Profile Enabled (pointing to
\\Server\Share)
User\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\Desktop
Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)
Path \\Server\Share
Grant Exclusive rights to Desktop - Disabled
Move contents to the new location - Disabled
Apply to older systems - Disabled
First, is what I am trying to do even workable?
Next why can't I get it working.

Hi,
>>I want to redirect all user profile folders (Desktop, Music, etc...) to a remote share
\\server\share to which the share is actually only giving Read-Only rights.
To redirect user’s folders to a network share, the minimum NTFS permissions of the root folder required by the users is
List Folder/Read Data, Create Folders/Append Data - This Folder Only.
Regarding security recommendations for Folder Redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Security Recommendations for Folder Redirection
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736916(v=ws.10).aspx
>>Move contents to the new location - Disabled
For disabling this setting, the existing data in the folders will not automatically follow the folders when they are redirected to the network location.
>>I need to have the "B:\Documents" open for these guys to save to however, I want to block saving to any of the other profile folders.
After redirecting the folders, if we really want to do this, as an administrator, we can take ownership of the user folders to where user’s profile folders are redirected,
and then edit the corresponding NTFS permissions.

Bare metal restore of full server backup fails with RPC error 0x800706BA (server 2012)

With Windows Server 2012, after creating a successful windows server backup (full server), I am unable to do a bare metal restore of the system.
EFI System Partition, C:, D: are the volumes on a single array (Raid 5).
Loading WinRE and launching re-image, the full server restore stops after completing the C: restore just after beginning the D: drive restore (data volume) with the error with the message about RPC error 0x800706BA, unavailable.
The system will not boot as a result of the failure.
What may be causing this?
[edit]
I think I have two things working against me here... one, Volume Shadow Copy service wasn't running in WinPE and two.. the D: volume contains data deduplication.
I think this is causing some of my problems.
Is there an additional service that I need to start in WinPE to get a volume that was deduplicated restored perhaps using wbadmin?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply Shaon.
The hardware system is identical; however, I am increasing storage capacity from 12TB to 16TB. Basically, the system is the same, just new hard drives (4x4TB versus 4x3TB). Drives are all identical enterprise class drives and I am actually using
the same system (backup, swap drives then restore).
I tried both using the WinRE restore (re-image) with the backup set, and tried using wbadmin. Both produce same RPC unavailable messages (although using the GUI based tool via WinRE provides the additional error code #).
I do not have any idea what to look at to try to figure this one out.
[edit]
I was just informed of this posting:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/147efccc-e0e9-4458-852e-c3a44ae5cb64/the-system-image-restore-failed-error-details-he-rpc-server-is-unavailable-0x800706ba?forum=windowsbackup
and in my case, this lab server does in fact act also as a DC as well as a file server... do I need to spin up a secondary controller (perhaps in a VM on another machine) to do this restore?

SCCM 2012 SP1 with remote WSUS on Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012

I am rebuilding my SCCM 2012 lab on Server 2012 R2 x64 OS now.
I have 1 primary site, remote SQL server 2012, and remote WSUS server.
Is the WSUS console still required on my primary site running server 2012? If so are the below the correct steps to get this working?
Install Console on primary server:
Go to Server Manager à Add Roles and features, Navigate to the features section.
Remote Server Manager tools
>Role Administration Tools
--Select Windows Server Update Services Tools Only
Are there any post hotfixes to install?
Intalling WSUS full version on remote server:
Go to Server Manager à Add Roles and features, Server Roles section.
Windows Server Update Services
Do I need to select this as well on the remote wsus server? >Role Administration Tools -Select Windows Server Update Services Tools Only
Since my SQL server is on a remote server do I select the below only?
Are there any post hotfixes to install?

Hi,
One Part of the question is already answered. The second part is: If you want to use a remote SQL Server you need to select exactly what you selected in your screenshot.

The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

Hi All,
I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?
Gautam.75801

Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
sessions"? Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.
Appreciate it.

Problems with ftp on Windows Server 2012

Hi all,
We just setup a new server running 2012. I ran into a problem while trying to move over/recreate some of our exisiting jobs that run on the task scheduler on a Windows 2003 Server box.
One job in particular, logs into another local machine, deletes a file and copies a replacement file - this has worked for years. When I tried to get it to work on the 2012 machine, it would hang at the copy statement. I am thinking it has something
to do with the firewall since I found this error in the server log and the times are about the same times I kept trying this:
Inbound notifications are not enabled
Application Path: C:\windows\system32\ftp.exe
I have no idea what to change. We just need the script below to log into the machine, delete the existing file, then copy the new version of the file. The size of the file I am testing with is 2k, so the size is not an issue. Also, I tried
this in a command line and it froze at the copy statement - so that is how I realized where the problem was. The bat file resides in the same folder on the server as the file to be copied.
When running this in a dos prompt, I get a return code of "425 Not able to open data connection." after a long period.
Any and all help is appreciated.
The entire bat file contains:
open 10.10.10.47
userid
password
cd /mpl
del boatemp.txt
put boatemp.txt
quit

Ok, so please try to restart the FTP Server as on 2012 machine sometimes Firewall rules may not be enabled untill restart is performed.
Then ensure FTP Server is allowed for the 'profile' that your network card has been allocated
Run firewall.cpl and go to Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall.
Make sure the FTP Server is allowed for the 'profile' that has been assigned to your network card.
In incoming Rules check if FTP rules are enabled (21 port, passive port and SFTP port)

Problems with My Documents - work server

I am using Windows XP on my laptop and I also use this same computer to get a network connection at the office.
I beleive that the issue is that My Music ends up savings some ITunes files and when the network synches there is a conflict. I open itunes, all the playlists are gone sometimes after 1 month, sometimes 6 - it is so frustrating. I tried deleting all files My Music on the network today this was OK today. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes from my home connection and My Music reappeared in My Documents with more ITunes files...
Can I avoid using "My Music" and just stick to plain old files on my c: drive. I back up my laptop and all my music is still safe and sound in my hard drive. I am so tired of the copying and pasting as soon as my Itunes goes blank again!!!
Please help me? This time it was 7 months of play lists - gone!

I'm sort of in the same boat I think. Here's my process and problem:
I have Windows XP Pro laptops that connect to our network at the office and we use them for presentations. I installed iTunes on the laptops so that we could run music during break times in presentations or as background music.
I have found that when the laptops are not connected to the network though, iTunes will not open AT ALL. I get the following error message:
+"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."+
Believing that this could be remedied by simply changing the target library folder, I went under the preferences --> advanced tab --> general and changed the location of the library folder to a location on the system drive (C:\My Music\iTunes). However, when I tested out the laptop, it still would not launch iTunes unless I was connected to the network. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes as well, to no use.
Anyone with a suggestion or solution?

Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect

Hi
Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
\\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
-> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
-> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
-> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
-> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
\\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
A very special point:
I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
-> So in my eyes, it should work!
Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
Thank you very much for any help!
Kind regards
David

Hi David,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
tab. As below picture shows.
à
GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
à•Setting: Standart
- redirects all folders to the same path
à•Destination
folder: Copy to base directory of the user
Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, please use
gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
