Mass movement of network file shares removed SHARE permissions

We had a 10 year old server that had two iscsi drives containing all our company's shared file storage, about 2.5 TBs.
A couple of days ago, we had to move those iscsi drives to a new server in order to retire the old server.
Through previous experience, we were prepared for the loss of our "shares" but not the loss of our security permissions. We documented every share and who had permissions to each folder. We were not surprised that this indeed occurred.
As we were manually and hurriedly reapplying share permissions, we couldn't help but ask ourselves, "what does a company like Boeing do in a case such as this?"
For our company, it took two people only about 45 minutes to complete the job but we are growing. In the future, is there a more automated procedure we could do instead of the manual flurry to quickly reset shares and their permissions after moving
iscsi shared files and folders to another server?
Please have an answer for us and thanks for your time.
Sue

Hi Sue,
NTFS permission is on file/folder so we could migrate it with files/folders.
However Share permission is stored in registry key:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
If the path of all folders will not be changed, you can output and import the key to the new server directly.
If path will be changed, you will need to modify the keys before import.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

An issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when saved to a network file share

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share.
Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.
The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.
The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

Sounds like you're hitting one of the known MacOS filesystem bugs - worst when working with SMB volumes.
Apple knows about this, and we are pursuing workarounds to the OS bugs.
Yeah, if you value your files, don't save directly to servers, especially on MacOS.

Cannot export a transport package to a network file share

I created a network file share (T) on my Portal DEV server.
I created a transport package, and when trying to export it, I get the error below:
[com.sapportals.portal.transport.app.TransportApplicationImpl]exportList: failed to create destination directory T:\
any ideas what is wrong?

Hi
While configuring the pcdStartup.properties file please be aware that networkshares need a configuration with additional "\" as they are interpered as excape character...
So for example:
C:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\pcd/Import
Becomes:
C:\\usr\\sap\\<SID>\\SYS\\global\\pcd/Import
Good Luck...

Running Forte via a network file share (Part 1)

G'Day
I would like to run Forte via file a share on all suitable machines.
Any experiences from the list would be much appreciated in this regard. (Is
it possible? Feasible - well let's find out...)
Here is what I expect I will need to do:
1. Need a 60MB file share on the network - check
2. Need a SOE ("typical") Windows95(8) PC - working on it
3. Will need to install Forte runtime on this SOE PC using the file share as
root drive - waiting on 2
4. Now test some local applications to run on this PC using forte via the
file share - waiting on 3
Q: What are the implications of running forte via the file share.
All I want is to run inhouse developed applications on any PC without having
to install Forte on each and every PC!
How much file transfer can I expect forte to generate?
If this works I'll have to work out how to set other SOE PC to use Forte via
the fileshare.
I expect I'll have to set registry settings. Anything else? But more to that
in Part 2.
Let's see how this works out first.
TIA,

Hi Dirk,
This may be harder than it seems. Forte uses a number of
files stored over a number of different directories all starting
with forte_root. Some of these files are only read, others are
also updated. Some have to be local, others don't.
We have done two things that are related to this.
1) Our client partition is manually copied to a file server.
Clients use ftexec with a parameter to indicate the inter-
preted code repository, which is stored on this file server.
The client partition isn't installed on any of the clients.
a) you can't use the launcher
b) you can only deploy a new version if everyone quits
their application
2) Out unix development machine has three different forte
environments on it, each using their own directory tree.
They all have their own 'appdist', 'userapp' and 'repos'
directory, but other directories are symbolic links to the
same, single instance. Within 'appdist' and 'userapp', the
directories for 'forte', 'fscript', 'econsole', etc. are also sym-
bolic links.
This way we minimize the duplicating of files, yet each en-
vironment thinks it has everything itself.

Anyone know of a good IOS app that can play all media files across a home network, file share on a NAS or Windows PC??

anyone know of a good IOS app that can play all media files, MKV, AVI, Xvid with subtitles across a home network, file share on a NAS or Windows PC?? I know I have BS player free for android, works pretty good on my nexus tablet. is there a good IOS one that anyone can think of that can browse the network?
or do I have to run transcoders?
I store some files on the windows PC and some files on a linux NAS that the windows PC maps to

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
The server is Windows 2003 file server. The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume within the same server, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish your goals. The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume
to the new volume.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:
File Server Migration Toolkit
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.utilityspotlight.aspx
The File Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) is a free download available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=10268
Robocopy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145.aspx
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

Setting File Share Permissions with GUI

Hello Team
I have an idea, i would like to create a GUI input box to help in setting user access to files shares on different servers.
the different text fields are as follows;
first field/box: searchable employee number (query AD to populate the name and surname field)
second field/box: User first name
third field/box: User surname
fourth field/box: Tick box for read only permission
fifth field/box: server name (once this is entered it querys the the target server and populates a small table somewhere and in sixth field allows you to select the file share name)
Sixth field/box: file share name on targeted server.
after this tabs at the bottom to run additional powershell commands to grant the user access to the file share locally or add the user to security groups on AD.
Regards Clarence

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.

Mass move of source files in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 7...or 6 or 5 or 4...

Because my Photoshop Elements 7 (previously 5 and 3 and 1) catalog outlasted multiple computers, I’ve “restored” the catalog multiple times. When I’ve done so, I’ve wanted to keep my picture file structure, so I selected that option in the restore. However, instead of restoring to the C: drive, I restored to C/Users/me/Pictures…so you probably know the situation. My picture files are now in C:Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum/[Various folders]. It’s ugly and a pain to deal with. Is there any way to move the source files from:
C:Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum/[Various folders]
   To
C: Users/me/Pictures/[Various folders]
I know I can do this one pic at a time from within PSE, but can I do something as a batch while maintaining the "various folders" with names indicating dates and topics? At this point, I cannot simply backup and restore at the C: level because the damage is done! The file structure is already 11+ folders deep!!
Thanks!
        Ken

In the Organizer, go to Display > Folder Location view, where you can move entire folders (and all their subfolders) by drag-and-drop in the left-hand pane. Drag the folder:
C:/Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum
to the folder:
     C:/Users/me/Pictures/
This will shorten the folder path to:
C:/Users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum

Using network file share with iPhoto 08

Hello all: I am a new "switcher". My home network consists of a windows machine and my new imac, with a linux file server which I use to store all data files including my family's extensive photo library.
Back in windows land I was able to just point Picassa to the photo directory on my server and in this way all computers could share the same photo files.
I need to figure out how to do this with iPhoto 08. When I tried doing this yesterday, iPhoto wanted to copy over to my imac all our photos from the server. This is not exceptable.
I am able to do a similar thing with iTunes, where all our music lives on our linux server, but each computer can see and use the files from the server.
Thanks very much for the hand-holding, Chris.

moseman
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.

SMB File Share Storage Failover Cluster "path is not valid folder path"

I am having an issue that I am scratching my head over. So I have setup a 3 node Hyper-V host cluster that I am attempting to use SMB File Share storage for the shared storage medium. I have been trying to migrate a virtual machine from one of the nodes
local storage into the file share using System Center VMM 2012 R2 with UR5 however I keep getting the message "The specified path is not a valid folder path on node2.domain.com" for the storage that VMM automatically selects for placement of files
from the migration. However what is odd is to the same file share for storage I can do a new deployment of a virtual machine to the same cluster with the same shares; I can also delete a virtual machine from the share fine; the file share for the virtual machine
I library I am deploying machines from is the same server as the file shares for the cluster that I am deploying to so maybe that is why that succeeds; if I try to move the recently deployed VM from one file share to another for storage same error comes up.
The three nodes all reference the same file server, which is just one file server for the storage, and the shares were created in VMM and as such the file share permissions were setup by VMM so they should be sufficient. I have also attempted this with both
delegation of CIFS and without through AD (trust to specified computers with CIFS, Hyper-V Replica and Microsoft Virtual Console Service via Kerberos only).
I am stumped as to what to check next or how to get this working and would appreciate any guidance anyone can give towards a resolution for this problem.

Jeff,
Thanks for reporting this.
There's an known issue with UR5 that VMM gives wrong error when deploying a HAVM onto a SMB share. In that situation, VMM complains "Invalid folder path".
To confirm you are hitting the same issue, would you kindly let me know:
1. Are you trying to migrate a HighlyAvailable VM onto the SMB share?
2. On UI of "Migrate Storage Wizard", if you click "Browse", do you see the target file share showing up in "Select Destination Folder" dialog?
3. By "the three nodes all reference the same file server", I assume you added the target file share onto the list of File Share Storage thru the cluster's properties UI. If so, please go to the UI and check whether the access status shows
green there.
4. By "local storage", do you mean "local disk"? Or a shared LUN from any array? I assume it's not "available storage" or "CSV" of the cluster. Please double confirm.
Note: If we are sure hitting the known issue, I will later re-direct you to a hotfix. But let's make sure it is the issue first.
Look forward to your reply.

Need to move documents from Record center to file share

I am trying to figure out how can I manage moving the documents from record center to file share. I want to move the older documents that are taking lot of space from record center in to some kind of file share. There are thousands of old documents that
I need to move to file share, so this needs to be bulk move.
ganesh

Assuming you have permissions to the Record Center this is basically as easy as opening up the Library in Explorer view and doing a Drag and Drop Move. But you should be aware that you'll lose all the metadata when you do it. I suspect what
you really want is to move the documents to lower cost storage but retain the metadata and the connection to the records center. To do that you would need to look at something like StoragePoint from Metalogix. There's nothing built-in to SharePoint
that provides that kind of functionality.
