Folders Mysteriously Disappear in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,
I have this obscure issue with newly created shared or unshared folders disappearing in Windows Server 2008. I know that folders are still there because I can go into DOS mode and locate the folders. Even in DOS mode, I cannot see the folders by typing the
"dir" command. I have to type "cd" and then name of the folder to be able to access them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ali

Please check if there is an autorun.inf file in the folder. Try to delete it in Explorer or command line if it exists.
Also try "Attrib -H -S <foldername>" to see if helps.

A trouble free way of giving Administrators access to redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard?

A few months ago I set up some redirected folders on a clients Windows Small Busines Server 2008. I recall that setting up the redirected folders was straightforward, but when I edited the permissions to allow administrative access to these server located
folders, all hell broke lose. The permissions change seemed to trash the folders. I think I managed to 'bodge' it for a couple of users and got it working, but it was such a headache I didn't bother doing it for the other users.
Now, I sit in front of a brand-spanking-new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard box which is going to be installed with a new client within 48 hours. I would like to set up redirected folders and would like to grant admin rights on these folders so I can view
their contents directly from the server.
It seems to me that there is no offical Microsoft documentation which relates specifically to doing this on Windows Server 2008. Given the amount of problems this has caused for many admins, I am astounded.
Somewhere there are articles which describe how to do it on 2003, but this procedure does not work well in 2008.
There is an SBS article that admits permissions can be trashed, but this is no help on Standard edition:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/10/08/folder-redirection-in-small-business-server-2008.aspx
I have just posted a note on this rather long article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/smallbusinessserver/thread/70fa7f0e-7f2c-4f00-8401-42d262d80cd6
So, my question, hopefully to Microsoft employee, please can you document
exactly how to grant admin rights to users redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, and please could you do it today :-)
In the absence of this help, then I'm afraid this is yet another great but badly implemented feature that we will not be using.

NO IT DOESN'T!
Did you bother to read the original question?

So, Micro$haft, Why did you give instructions to Server 2003?

Backed up files partially disappear after restore (Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Server Backup)

Dear all,
I am experiencing a problem with "Windows Server 2008 R2", using Windows Server Backup.
Here's my setup:
Server: RAID 5 Disk setup
Backup:
By using Windows Server Backup (within Windows Server 2008 R2), C: and D: were fully backed up, with "System State" and "Baremetal Recovery" options selected. Backup went okay without any errors.
Restore:
By using Windows Recovery Environment (booted from Windows Server DVD), C: and D: were fully restored to the original partitions with "System Recovery" option found within Windows RE (without re-formatting partitions during restore). Restore
went OK without any errors. Rebooted, and system has been running fine.
Problem:
After the restore, the system itself seems running OK; no BSOD, no crash, no visible errors.
However, our client insisted some files (around 6 to 7) which are related to the propriety software has "disappeared" right after System Recovery.
Question:
Since Windows Server Backup is using "Volume Shadow Copy" technology which enables "live backup" of the running system, is it possible that some files will disappear (=restore error) after
System Recovery?
I cannot really find any errors or warnings related to Windows Server Backup in the event log, through. No Windows-backup errors. No VSS errors, too.
Do anybody have experienced this kind of problem in the past? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, Ms. Mandy.
To make things clear, let me explain to you briefly:
1. The "missing data" was backed up with "full system backup".
2. After a system restore from the above backup image, as you mentioned, partitions has been overwritten with the partions' backup data in the Backup Data Set taken by Windows Server Backup. No error with backup. No error after restore, and reboot - system
has been running fine.
3. Although there was a report that the affected files(about 7 java exectables) were missing after the above restore operation, other aspect of system was running fine at the time of the report.
4. I have checked the original backup data set - and voila, there ARE files which seems to gone after restore.
5. When I used Windows Server Backup "on" Windows Server 2008 R2 normal environment (= NOT Recovery environment from DVD) and selectd ONLY these affected files to restore, these files could be RESTORED successfully, without any errors. SO... data
was property backed up.
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions so files created after the backup point will be missing.
I understand, and this is not the case this time, because the affected files are already present in the backup data set (= I have mounted the backup data as VHD, and I could clearly see them present in the mounted VHD file)
Plus, these files are completely restoreable via "selective file restore" in Windows Server Backup.
Things I want to know/confirm:
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions
If I understand this correctly, in case that the files in question are already present in the backup data set, these files SHOULD be restored after full system restore, right? (If these files could not be restored, Windows Server Backup SHOULD show some errors.)
What do you think, Ms. Mandy? :)

Windows Server 2008 - password protect network folders

I was tasked to password protect a few folders that are being shared in the network. The folders are stored in the server (that i have admin access) and anyone in the network have full access to the folders and the files inside those folders. The computers linked in the network have different OS - 3 running vista, 2 running xp and 1 windows server 2008. Anybody in the office can use the computers without being prompted for a password (except the server) and the folders are accessible through any of those computers.
The following are my questions:
1. Is it possible to password protect folders shared in the network? If so, if someone wants to access those password protected folder through any of the computers connected to the network, will they be prompted to enter a password to be able to access it or the system will just say "access denied?" If so, please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
2. If it is possible to password protect network folders, is it possible to put different passwords on each folders? If so please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
3. If it is not possible to do any of the mentioned above through windows, is it possible with the use of a third-party software? If so, what are those third party software?

Hi All, First time on this forum and am finding it very interesting (sorry about the proposed as answer above.. hit the wrong key).
I found this topic particularly interesting and am looking to do a similar thing but seemed to have gotten around it quite easily (if I am on the same lines as greggync777 that is).
My problem is this I have a Home Theatre Network set up in my lounge to several locations around the house with around 8 gb of videos/music/pics etc, all works fine on connected pc's with WMC (all using Windows 7) and all is shared by family for entertainment.
I also have a Seperate workstation where I do my work (video editing) which involves storing considerable amounts of footage and more importantly all the work files/folders all of which is confidential, at the moment is also on a seperate pc which also houses 8 hdd with around 6gb of ever growing video information.
My point is that both these PC's ( HTPC and my WORKSTATION) are a bit too noisy despite having installed the best I can afford fans/Samsung eco green hdd's. My desire is to build a main super server running WHS 2008 (The size/Cooling/Noise etc is not a problem due to where it will be located). My main concern is Security with so many in the family having direct access to the Server so I want to restrict which files/folders they can subsequently access once there. I want to be the only one to have access to my work from my PC and everyone else denied access. I have set up a test rig running WHS08 and have set up access with several PC's using passwords for the server etc which was straightforward after creating a user account for them on whs08, therein laid the problem of then how to keep them from accessing my side of the server which is when I hit up on this thread after much searching. Following one of the suggestions above I went to the folder in question (in my case this will be a plus as all my work will be in one main folder with several thousand sub folders) to the security tab/permissions etc and firstly removed access to everyone except the server administrator. I then granted access only to one PC on the network - the one that is my workstation together with a password ( I meant to say upto this point everyone I had given access to the server could access my test folder), went back to my PC and was able to access as normal after entering the password. I then went to every other PC on the network (that has access to the Server) where I am pleased to say all denied me access to my folder. (my work pc by the way is running XPsp3). Not sure if it will work for Greggync777 or if it what he is looking to do but it did for me. I apologise also if I have rambled on a bit for my first thread.
tks Dave

[SOLVED] VBox: Access shared folders from Windows Server 2008 Guest

Hi,
I have installed virtualbox v4.2.4 on Arch and I launch a WIndows Server 2008 guest. I want to access shared folder from guest. How to do it?
Last edited by toni (2012-11-26 00:31:21)

Hi,
I have done this but it does not work.
My network is configured as a NAT in virutalbox.
Also from WIndows server 2008 guest I do:
net use z:\\vboxsvr\mySharedFolder
Do I have to install additional software in host or do I have to configure something in Windows server 2008 guest?

Missing Files in Windows Server 2008 server

There are a lot of missing files in a server that we manage.
There are no scheduled changes or activity prior to this incident.
Is there a way to determine how the files were deleted?
Are there any reported issue regarding sudden disappearance of files in Windows Server 2008?
What are the events to look / find at the logs?

Hi,
You can check the event viewer to see if any related logs existing.
If you enabled Audit Objecr Access with both success and failure events in group policy(Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Audit Policy>Audit Object Access - Success/Failure), add auditing to the
folders/drives and enable auditing for "Delete" and "Delete Subfolders and Files", then you can check that under security log in event viewer.

Susie

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Change the ODBC driver with OCI driver in the connection pool. Download and install oracle instant client if you don't have any Oracle fat client on the machine where is OBIEE.
Good tutorial to install oracle instant client:

Oracle 11g R2 install problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hi all,
Trying to install the Oracle 11g R2 database onto Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I get as far as running the setup and a black window flashes up on the screen and disappears.
The log files only show the following:
Using paramFile: C:\Temp\database\install\oraparam.ini
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 65536 Passed
The number of files bootstrapped for the jre is 0.
The number of files bootstrapped for the oui is 0.
I've tried running setup -debug from the command line but no further information is logged.
Any help in troubleshooting further is appreciated.

That is the complete log file. No error messages or further information is given.
I'm not sure how to check:
Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 – Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 [ID 867040.1]
I have checked on:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24283/toc.htm
The server meets all the hardware requirements. The default file share is accessible and it is running a supported browser. The installer is being run with Admin rights. I'm not sure what else I need to check.

Application/DLL problem on Windows Server 2008 R2

I have an issue with an application which needs to run on a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. The issue concerns "msvbvm60.dll" which results in an "APPCRASH" when I try to run the application.
The APPCRASH reports the issue is with msvbvm60.dll version number "6.0.98.15". We have another customer with Windows Server 2008 (not R2) which has version "6.0.98.2" of the same file and the application works fine there.
I've got 2 questions really then ...
Could I replace the .15 version with .2? There appear to be 2 "system" folders on the server "C:\windows\system32" and "C:\Windows\syswow64" - would both of these need to be addressed
Would a later version than .15 cure the problem?
I've trawled this site but unable to find an exact solution or advice that fits my situation.
Thank you.

Which application? Is that a Microsoft product? If not, I would suggest you contact the software developer for assistance.
---Could I replace the .15 version with .2? There appear to be 2 "system" folders on the server "C:\windows\system32" and "C:\Windows\syswow64" - would both of these need to be addressed
Yes, you may give it a try. Usually, put it in WoW64 folder if it's a 32bit DLL. Otherwise, put it in System32 folder.

Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

Hello fellow techs,
I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
up, it went passed the windows loading
splash screen, and again the screen is black with
the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
exact same results.
I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
Google but no change.
From other machines you can type \\servername in
the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
by tomorrow.
I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc /scannow
command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
Sfc
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

Hi,
Generally such kind of issues are caused by third party programs such as CD burning programs, device driver etc.
First please refer to this article to see if there is anything helpful:
Guide for Upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx
Meanwhile from the description, it mentioned a file under C:\Windows\winsxs. Check the permission of the folder amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_676975d87cc9b6e6 and the file wcp.dll to see if the permission
and ownership are correct compare with the other folders.
Also as it provided 2 minidump files, you will need to use WinDBG to read the minidump files and see if there is any further information.

I have up graded almost 40 to 45 server but still didnt face such problem please suggest me any solution and i have also tried my googling the same but no luck...
And for info its an VM server in ESXI 5.5

Hi
Might help:
Open Windows Explorer on the system you are trying to upgrade AFTER a failed attempt
There will be three new folders:
$UPGRADE.~OS
$WINDOWS.~BT
$WINDOWS.~LS
Go into the Security Properties and give "Everyone" Full Rights (on each folder)

Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have an office setup as follows: Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x. There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7. There are also about
10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282. All of their data is on a cloud server. I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
RDP server. The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.) When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
work using the native drivers. The problem at hand is a feature called "account track." This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code. If there is no code, the job just disappears. When I load the native
Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane. After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked. Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup? I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.
3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Hi Jeffery,
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
above and RDSH role.
Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
Do not allow client print redirection: Disable
Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
For more information, you can refer below articles.
