Local Share vs. Clustered File Share

I remember reading a Technet article describing whether a file share is considered local or clustered but unable to locate it now. I believe if the share sits on local disks, it's a local share and HA if it's on clustered disk. Can
someone confirm or provide link?

Hi Sir,
I assume that is scale out file server :

SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share on a Failover Clustered File Server.

Is SCCM 2007 Distribution Point Share supported on a Windows 2008 R2 Failover Clustered File Server? I can get the packages to copy to the DP Share. But if I create them on a non clustered server it works fine. Are there any special settings that need top
be configured for clustered shares?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
As far as I know this scenario is not supported scenario, In Windows Server® 2008 R2, the Cluster Shared Volumes feature included in failover clustering is only supported for
use with the Hyper-V server role.
The creation, reproduction, and storage of files on Cluster Shared Volumes that were not created for the Hyper-V role, including any user or application data stored under the
ClusterStorage folder of the system drive on every node, are not supported and may result in unpredictable behavior, including data corruption or data loss on these shared volumes. Only files that are created for the Hyper-V role can be stored on Cluster Shared
Volumes. An example of a file type that is created for the Hyper-V role is a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file.

Server 2012 Local Shares - Cannot access using \\IP but works via \\localhost

I've been stuck on this problem for the last couple of days and I can't find a solution on the internet that works.
I have a Windows Server 2012 instance running on Amazon AWS with a public IP address. I am using it as an SCCM (System Center 2012 Configuration Manager) Server (so it is a Domain Controller also). I realize that it's probably not best practice to use a public
IP here, but I'm in a weird position where we are not connecting any of the Clients to the actual Domain (they are Workgroup computers all around the world). The goal here is to use SCCM to deploy software packages to all of the Clients, which are not on the
same LAN/VPN/Domain.
This is my first time setting something up like this, so I followed this guide. I am able to get the Workgroup computers to show up in the SCCM Server Device list (via manual client install), but these Workgroup computers need access to the Server's shares
to download the software packages. On Amazon, I opened all ports and allowed all IPs to communicate with the Server. I am able to RDP into the Server from any Workgroup computer using the IP address, but cannot access the Server's SMB shares even though I
am attempting the connection with a Domain account with access to those shares.
I decided to see if I can even connect to the shares locally on the Server. Logging in with an account with administrator privileges, I can access \\localhost\shares without
a problem. But when I try to do \\X.X.X.X\shares,
it asks for user/pass (confirming that it is able to connect) and I put in the correct credentials for the account with administrator privileges (using DOMAIN\ACCOUNT), but it continually says that the user/pass is incorrect. After I click cancel, an error
comes up saying "Error Code 0x80004005 Unspecified Error".
It is crazy to me that the administrator account that is logged in cannot access the local shares via the public IP address... obviously no remote computer would be able to access the shares if the Server itself cannot. I have tried disabling the firewall,
but this makes no difference. I am able to ping the IP from the Server and I get a response.
I have searched around the internet for a solution but nothing has worked. Here are some of the suggestions I've found (that have failed):
- Making sure "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is installed and enabled for the Ethernet Adapter
- Enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in IPv4 properties
- Ensuring IPv6 is disabled
- Server, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, and Workstation (services) are all running
Any ideas? Sorry for such a long post, just wanted to get as many details as I could. All help is appreciated. Thanks!
Shawn

Hi,
Are there any anti-virus software or other third party products running on the server? If yes, please disable them to see if it resolves the issue.
Here is a similar thread below I suggest you refer to:

Local share ask password

Hi all,
I have two servers:
SERVER1 - W2K8R2 Running solution of record security cams.
SERVER2 - W2KR2 Windows shared, storage recorded files.
SERVER2 will died, and I'll transfer all recorded files to SERVER1... The solution use \\SERVER2\FILES with reference to find old records.
Due to this I need access path \\SERVER2\FILES on SERVER1. I created one share FILES and two entries in host files on SERVER1
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 SERVER2.mydom.local
127.0.0.1 SERVER2
So when I run \\SERVER2\FILES in SERVER1 password are asked.
I need access this path without password, like a normal share.

Hi,
Did you try the six methods in the article Ravikumar P mentioned above? You mentioned when you run command \\server2\files in server1 password are ask. Please check if you have permissions to access the local share on server1.

Mandy

Xdg-open didn't read ~/.local/share/applications/default.list

xdg-open doesn't read ~/.local/share/applications/default.list, and the only way to associate application and filetype is do following command:
xdg-mime default thur.desktop inode/directory
But, the content of default.list will be rewrite.
xdg-open ignore everything I have added to default.list manually.
It looks like xdg-open have something like database to track association I added through command, then dump it to default.list after I execute the command.
Does anyone have idea what wrong happened? tell me please

Update: This works (line 402 in /usr/bin/xdg-open):
---( From )---
$command_exec "$1"
---( To )---
eval `"$command_exec" "$1"`
At least for me, I get the expected behavior for pdfs (evince opens the file, nothing else) with this change. Is this a bug?

SCCM 2012 report on computers with local shares and share permissions

Very new to SCCM 2012, want to put together a report to show computers with local shares and the permissions on those shares (for security purposes, need to investigate any systems that have open shares_.
Managed to add and now collecting information that populates v_gs_share and I have a handle on the report itself, just wondering how to collect the share permissions - I've seen other qustions on the boards that are similar but reference earlier versions
of SCCM so wondering how to do it in 2012.
Thanks

So, where are you at? The script is running, and the clients have the data in their local WMI namespace, root\cimv2\sms_sharepermissions ?
So all that's left is to modify hardware inventory to pull that custom WMI Namespace in? If so, it's not too horrid. Take note of a workstation (or server) to which you have remote rights to; and which has run the script, so that on THAT specific
machine, root\cimv2\SMS_SharePermissions exists.
In your CM12 Console, Administration, Client Settings. Right-click "Default Client Settings", Properties. On the left, select "hardware inventory". then on the right, Set classes..., now the fun part.
Add...
Connect..., and put in ThatServerOrWorkstation (for computername), and wmi namespace is root\cimv2. Click the option "recursive", Connect. (the trick here is rights to the target).
From the results, it might be easiest to click on "classname" at the top for sorting, then go find SMS_SharePermissions. Select that, ok ok ok ok (however many times you need to agree); and... we're done here. Sit and wait for inventory to report
that data up. If you're paranoid, you can monitor dataldr.log; and force policy refreshes and hinv deltas on some boxes; but the key is patience. if you think you've waited long enough; you probably haven't. ;)
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

10.8 mount local share

In 10.8 I can no longer mount a local share. I have an afp share created and setup correctly. I can connect from client computers and they can mount the share fine, I just can't mount it on the same system that it is created on. We use Deploy Studio for imaging and that is a requirment so I'm just wondering how I can get this working?
Thanks!

Are you sure?
Just tried on 10.7 and 10.6. It doesn't work.
"Connection failed. Server is available on your computer. Access volumes and documents locally"

Unable to export data from Web Access Data Sheet in Sharepoint to local excel or access file

Greetings and good morning.
I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.
Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.
I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.
But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.
Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi,
If you would like to export data from Access Web Database in SharePoint 2010, you could go to Design With Access page in Settings. The url in my environment is http://sp/tt/_layouts/accsrv/ModifyApplication.aspx . Then choose the Table and export it to Excel
or Modify it in Access.

I want to save a report (pdf, xls, doc) in my local pc as a file. already i can do it in application server in different path different type of extension . and its works internally. internally i can save it as a file. but i want to do it in local machine.like (c:\One\test.pdf , d:\two\two.xls, d:\three\three.doc) same report. its not display in the screen. its just save as a file. is it possible?? if it possible then give me instruction.

We do it without webutil. First, we create a report that the user can view and download in their web browser. Then use web.show_document() in Forms to call the report using its URL.

Opinion on non-clustered file system to offload backups

3 node 11.2 rac using ASM on SAN.
All of the RMAN backups go to +FRA. Any node can initiate RMAN and create backups.
I want to offload the backups from +FRA to a filesystem. Our current backup system can only read cooked file systems.
This LUN also comes from the same SAN. It will have a file system, ext4. It will be visible to all 3 nodes and will be mounted to ONLY the first node. First node will be the one to copy from asm to this filesystem.
If first node is out of commission, I can mount the backup lun to one of the other remaining nodes.
Does this sound like a decent plan or should I go with a clustered file system?
Thanks for you opinions!

Have you looked at using ACFS? Create a very big diskgroup, then create an ACFS volume and finally an ACFS filesystem. create a path on all nodes on which the ACFS filesystem will be mounted.
Example: Using asmca do the following
mkdir /d01/FRA on all systems
DGFRA (4disks at 500G)
Create ACFS volume 1.8T
Create ACFS filesystem mount point of /d01/FRA
set your db_recovery_file_dest=/d01/FRA scope=both sid='*'
Now any node can backup to this FRA location AND any node can copy files to tape or where ever...
This is "supported" as of 11.2.0.3 ( I have used it on 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2 for testing)

Upload local PSD or EPS file into flash-movie at runtime

Hi there, I would like to upload a local PSD or EPS file into a flash-movie at runtime. I'm sure the data will have to be encoded into a PNG file for it to be displayed properly in the movie to include any transparency. Any ideas? I can't find an EPSEncoder or PSDEncoder. Thanks.

That's a bumpy road, especially considering the rapid pace of PSD evolvement. You can always find a disgruntled coder trying to deal with the process of unpacking PSD but if you look there's some older libs still out there trying to do it, YMMV. You really need to keep the PSD simple however.
I remember a while back AlivePDF could read EPS files, although I'm not sure to what extent. Might be worth a try.

Difference between local batch eWay and file eWay

Can someone please explain me the diffrence between local batch eWay and file eWay. And which one is better to use in a large integration project.

Hello,
I recommend you to read the documentation :
The File eWay Intelligent Adapter is a file-based eWay provided with the Sun Java� Composite Application Platform Suite to support sample Projects and to test your Sun Java� Composite Application Platform Suite configuration.
For a more feature-rich solution to processing flat file records, we recommend that you use the Batch eWay Intelligent Adapter. The Batch eWay provides a number of pre- and post-processing features that the File eWay does not offer, including system rename, copy, and delete
operations that you can configure before and after you run a Collaboration, as well as other features such as regular expression matching for filenames.

Clustered File share Permissions won't set (with error)

I have a s2012r2 cluster with a file server. When i go to create a new share it creates with read only permissions and i cannot change it to full or read/write. it is just the share permissions that won't set. when i create a share the error i get is "The
Cluster Resource could not be found." if i try to edit the share permissions the error is "Error Occurred while update an SMB share: The cluster resource could not be found" the admin share is working perfectly and the folder permissions are
accurate.
The only solution to this problem i have found online that worked for someone is to destroy the cluster and rebuild it. I really don't want to do that.

Hi RaVell(Pinki),
This error typically occur when
we have added the Disk from Available Storage to the File Share Server Group, please refer the following KB solution to avoid this action.
