Issue with offline availability of roaming profiles in Server 2012

I've recently stood up a Windows 2012 R2 server. I set up folder redirection using the guidelines
here and roaming profiles using Group Policy. All is well except for the fact that if the client is physically disconnected from the network then the profile isn't available.
I've set up folder redirection/roaming profiles on many different version of Windows Server and this is the first time I can remember that the files weren't available offline without further intervention from me. Is there some new setting or default on 2012
R2 that I'm running afoul of?
I note the following screen on the share properties but don't want to go at it until I know more
Location of image in case of no display

Shaon,
No problem at all, I'm delighted that someone is answering at all! :-)
The answers to your points/questions are as follows:
1. The issue persists after a reboot
2. All computers in the OU are experiencing this issue along with all users affected by these group policy items
3. There is only one group policy applied here and in relation to the three items you've mentioned:
Action on server disconnect [Not configured]
Non-default server disconnect actions [Not configured]
Do not automatically make redirected folders available offline [Not visible]
All the relevant group policy objects (on the server) are at their default "Not configured" value. I've filtered by Windows 7 and Windows 8 as I have nothing below that. I've checked both locations viz.:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files
The same is true for Local Computer Policy, all are set to "Not configured". In Explorer on the client under the Easy Access option all of the salient settings are greyed out.

  • Slow logon for roaming profiles on Server 2012 R2.

    Hey all,
    We have migrated Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. After this, roaming profiles began to take 7-8 mins to 15-16 mins to logon to the 2012 R2 RDHS. Same roaming profiles have no problems logging on other RDS servers running Server 2008 R2.
    All updates are installed. All RDS related HotFixes have been applied. Server 2012 R2 only got RDSH role activated. It's a domain environment and AD role is on a physical DC. This is a mixed OS environment for clients.
    Local users have no problems logging on. Roaming profiles have no problems logging back in day after the first logon - The very first logon took a long time for them.
    Profiles stored on an SSD NAS device. The device doesn't support SMB3 protocol. Could this be why?
    Also when we check Event Viewer, we see "Event ID 5: Kernel-General :: {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\........\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost." But again,
    same profiles have no problem logging on Server 2008 R2.
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and advices.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bruce,
    >>After this, roaming profiles began to take 7-8 mins to 15-16 mins to logon to the 2012 R2 RDHS.
    Before going further, I want to further confirm if this happens when the users log onto the server first time or all the time.  Besides, does this happen to all domain users logging onto the server?
    >>"Event ID 5: Kernel-General :: {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\........\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost."

  • Strange issue with formatting after opening CSV - profile specific

    I have an issue with Excel 2010 in my user profile when I open any CSV.  The first twelve rows autodetect dates and allow me to manipulate the data as dates.  All following rows do not.  This is specific only to my user profile.  It also
    occurs if I rename the csv to .txt and import it.  It does not allow me to format the data in those rows even after saving the .csv as an excel spreadsheet.
    I created a new user and it works properly.
    I have attempted to correct this by deleting the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel 14, by replacing the office
    files in my roaming profile, and even by creating Sheet.xltx and book.xltx, all to no avail.  I have a lot of data in this profile and prefer not to simply use a new profile.
    Can someone please help me to correct this matter?

    It figures - I solved my own problem moments after posting this.  I reset all customizations in Region and Language Format settings and it resolved the matter.

  • Issue with electronic mail address in profile

    As a part of the conversion process, one of the electronic mail addresses I use was effectively 'burned in' to my profile. Clearly I can make it visible, or keep it hidden - but there is a problem. The public address I previously had listed for this purpose is not available - instead it's the private address that is displayed!
    Think of it like this:
    [email protected] [private address]
    [email protected] [public address]
    It was the public one previously visible - it's now the private one, currently set to hidden, which is the only one I can choose to display or hide. Can anything be done about this, or are we stuck with this 'converted' change to our profiles?

    I appreciate the thought, and am sure that for some users this would be a sufficient tactic. Unfortunately, I have historically had issues with the interlocking but thoroughly unreliable process of changing ones basic identity at…
    http://myinfo.apple.com
    This is aggravated by the fact that I have four such identities - though I only use one here in Apple Discussions - with varying levels of access to ADC, GSX and other generally non-public areas at Apple. Managing them, including my .Mac ID, is at times a challenge, and I hesitate to do anything at all to upset the delicate balance. Unless the Discussions profiles revert to a primary private electronic mail address with a secondary optional 'public' address, I suppose I will just have to use the previously non-public address that became the sole available address following the conversion.
    Thanks again for thinking about this, and offering a solution to the issue.

  • Issues with offline provisioning in OIM 11G

    We are facing an issue with OIM 11G where we are trying to provision few resources via offline provisioning. Ths issue is that when I do a provisioning/disable/enable on the resource the status of the resource says something like "provisioning in queue/Disable in queue/Enable in queue". This is not happenning all the time but seems to be consistent when I repeatedly disable/enable the resource. Once the status of hte resource remains "in queue" it is never changed back to the actual status which says provisioned/disabled/enabled. Can anyone provide me an insight of what is happenning here and how the offline events are processed within OIM? Is there any way to get the status of the resource back to normal? Please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Moving user profiles from Server 2012 with RDS services to User profile disks Server 2012R2

    Hello i have a question about moving my C:\users profiles.
    My current settings on the servers are:
    AD-Server 2012
    SQL-Server 2012
    TS- server with RDS roles (RDwebacces, RDs broker, RD session host) 2012
    everything about user profiles is now in C:\Users
    My new settings for the server will be:
    AD-ActiveDirectory - server
    SQL-Server
    TS1- RDS (RDwebacces, broker, RDS server group management) 2012R2 (I have enabeld userProfileDisks to Filesistem server)
    TS2- RDS(Session host) load balance 2012R2
    TS3- RDS (Session host) load balance 2012
    FileSistem - server ( here i will have on E: partition the new functionality UserProfileDisks) 2012R2
    So is there a way to move profiles from TS - C:\Users to FileSistem - E:\UserProfileDisks
    I am new to this so any idea wil be helpful.

    Hi,
    If the UPD is configured on the server which holds existing user profiles, just select the option:
    store all user settings and data inside the profile disk.
    Since you are moving user profiles between different servers, then user profile contents need to be migrated manually.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • Unexpected Termination SSIS package - Issue with SSIS packages after upgrading to SQL Server 2014

    Hello everyone.
    We performed an upgrade of SQL Server 2012 installation to SQL Server 2014 (with last CU5 update). We found that all SSIS packages (even the simplest with just Execute SQL tasks) fail with Unexpected termination message. The issue reproduces with both new
    packages (that are created from scratch with SSDT 2014) and old packages (migrated from SQL 2012).
    Any ideas, please? We googled and found that it is a known issue that should have fixed with CU4. But we use CU5 and the issue is still here.

  • Intel vPro AMT integration with SCCM 2012R2 - Issues with SCCM finding the "ConfigMgr AMT Web Server Certificate"

    Good evening all,
    I'm attempting to get Intel SCS integrated with SCCM 2012 R2 and I have both sides working, doing what they do best, however, I have issues when I try to mate the two. I started with a single server for the site and then tackled the Intel side with success,
    then I added another site server to run the Out of Band service point and Enrollment point. Up until this point I've had no issues with certificate templates, or issuance of those certs. 
    I have re-read the TechNet documents a few times regarding the PKI setup, some Intel documentation and three step by step articles and non of them seem to differ so I can't understand why I'm unable to choose my "ConfigMgr AMT Web Server Certificate"
    when configuring the Out of Band Management Component Properties page.  The "AMT web server certificate template:" dialog shows my CA FQDN and CA name, but the certificate template list is always blank.  I've tried this from both the remote
    and local ConfigMgr consoles.  The site servers have rights on the CA to manage and issue certs, is there something I'm missing that isn't in the documentation or buried somewhere that I missed?  Is there a Application policy that should be on the
    cert that isn't mentioned anywhere?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Issues with Godaddy when putting dynamic sites to server

    It has come to my attention that there are all kinds of issues when putting a dynamic PHP site to server when using Godaddy as a host. Since each hosting account uses a variation of secureserver.net, as opposed to localhost, tons of changes have to be made when putting to server; moreover, if you accidentally overwrite existing files from your local machine, then the whole thing falls apart and is useless. This creates far too many difficulties for an independent designer, in my opinion. Has anyone encountered this problem, and, if so, did you migrate to another host?

    Paul-
    I have encountered what you are talking about. PHP / mySQL being pretty new to me, <8 months, my first project was a friend's server, and i was allowed to remote connect from home for development.
    Later i understood that that ability isnt normal, esp in virtual shared hosting plans.
    Since then i have it all sorted, thankfully. I use WAMP (easy install, installs apache,php, mysql in one go, and its free.) for localhost dev.
    so how i do it, for now... develop locally w localhost. Have 2 databases created (Applications window -> databases) - one for local, one for remote. the remote is for when the files are uploaded to godaddy (or whoever) and the local for, local of course!
    Name them similiar... MyDatabase_L and MyDatabse_R for example.
    When youre ready to upload files to remote, use Find / Replace to change all the MyDatabase_L to MyDatabse_R.
    works great for me! Considering for a minute i didnt think i'd find ANY way. Also didnt know what the heck i was doing, ha.
    worth noting.. if you open a file with the MyDatabase_R, its ok. But if you try to edit anything in that file that would prompt ADDT to connect to the DB, its not gonna work. No big deal, as, ive gotten better with Find / Replace because of all this and am so glad i did!
    I know Gunther has an even better method ive been meaning to explore, where his Database files refer to a config file, and changing one number in that config file globally affects all the dependent databse files.
    Anyways hope that helped! I have no negative feelings to GoDaddy, rather, have always found their support to be top notch, and prices hard for clients to complain about. To each his own, though!
    best,
    ben

  • Use one profile for all user profiles in Server 2012 R2

    Hi
    I am setting up an Windows Server 2012 R2 Template on VMware. 
    I will do som changes with the local admin user, and want all user that will log in to servers made from this Template, get the user profile I have set up for the admin account.
    How to I do that?
    Regards
    StigKSand

    the way I used to do this was to create a new profile the way I wanted with any shortcuts applications etc installed. then I would create another user account on the PC and make it an admin.
    reboot the pc to ensure it hasn't got the pre-configured profile loaded and login with your newly created admin account.
    then right click This PC in windows explorer and select properties, then select advanced system settings, and select user profiles on the advanced tab. You can then select the profile you made all the configuration to, and click copy and then select default
    profile.
    this should then mean any new users who login get this default profile on this server.
    hopefully that is what you were referring to.

  • [SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

    Hi there!
    I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
    I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
    I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
    Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.
    LOGS on the second nodes:

  • Adding Availability Group to Existing SQL Server 2012 Enterprise installation

    Looking at an existing SQL Server 2012 Enteprise vm. We'd like to add availability group functionality.  It seems that we should be able to create a second VM and install SQL on it in an identical configuration.  Then create a windows cluster with
    the two nodes. From there we should be able to configure avaialbility groups.
    I've set up avaialbility groups before but have not retrofitted one before.  It seems possible though since the instances are standalone.  Anyone see a problem with doing this?
    thanks
    Peter

    Hello,
    What you have is pretty much it. Since AGs require clustering but do not require a clustered install (stand alone install is used) there shouldn't be any changes with the actual install. You will have to enable the HADR option in the configuration manager
    once the clustering is setup.

  • Can anyone help with how to install Java on Win Server 2012 RDS

    I am trying to install Java on my RD Host Server and have tried several times to install both the 32 and 64 bit clients.  Both complete but when I try to verify, I think the 32-bit version launches, but never fully resolves the applet.  I get
    a grey box, but  nothing more.  I have tried several method of installs but nothing seems to work.

    technically it should be under install mode but it doesn't really seem to matter in most cases
    the most important part is that you allow the java controls to run in IE when prompted, if that's not done then it won't be allowed for your remote desktop users
    you can also validate this by going to the manage add-ons section in IE, select all add-ons and look for items under Oracle, make sure they're enabled for all sites in the more info section
    once you're confident it's working for you as an admin, then we can tackle any user issues which are usually caused by IE hardening and JRE7's strict security settings which you may also want to look into
    personally I've had issues with activex filtering feature and enhanced protected mode options - disable them both

  • Server 2003 SBS (with Exchange 2003) migrate to new machine Server 2012 Standard (with Exchange 2013)

    This is what I have:
    A very outdated machine running a small domain, SBS 2003 and Exchange - this is the ONLY server currently.
    This is what my boss ordered:
    A Dell R210 II machine with Server 2012 Standard (and I downloaded the trial for Exchange 2013).
    He wants the old server completely replaced and gone - with everything moved over (including Exchange) to the new machine. The main reason for the upgrade is that not all users can access email on their machines (Macs, new versions of Outlook, etc.)
    I have set up a new standalone server before but never migrated one - and I've found that going from SBS2003/Exchange2003 to Server2012/Exchange2013 is not simple in the least.
    I thought I could just set up the new server as a DC on the domain and have everything replicated to it from the source server. Then I could decommission the old server. I have been told that 1) I can't upgrade Exchange 2003 to 2013 and 2) that I shouldn't
    put Exchange on a DC. What do you do if you only have the one server?
