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

Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?

Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?
I am new to SQL+ and just learned how to spool the file. But file is saved in my local windows enviroment and since it's 2GB in size...I want to spool it directly to another remote unix server.
Pls answer in detail... I have been to most of the thread and didn't see relevant answer to above question.
Am I suppose to develope some script which FTP the spool file directly to the server I want to
or
i Have to use UTL_FILE Package ?
Thanks for reply

You may not be able to...
SQL*Plus can only spool to the local machine. If you have mapped a directory on the Unix server from your Windows machine, you can specify that directory in your SPOOL command.
You could telnet to the Unix server, run SQL*Plus there, and spool the file to a local (Unix) directory.
If the Unix server is also the Oracle database server, you could use the UTL_FILE package rather than using SQL*Plus to spool a file.
If the Unix server is also an FTP server, you could also FTP the file from your local machine to the server.
Of course, I would tend to re-examine a requirement to regularly generate a 2 GB text file. It seems likely that there is a better way...

What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center?

I need some clarifications.
What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center? How each them are related in collaboration system?
Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
Thanks
Senthil

SharePoint Server 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
SharePoint Designer 2013:
Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
Yammer:
https://about.yammer.com/
Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
machine host.

MS SQL Server 2008 server is experiencing blocking

All,
The DBA & I are at a loss as to what could be causing an intermittent alert to be produced against the MS SQL Server 2008 server. The following email is what I've been provided:
SQL Services Alert: COMPANY.com - COMPSQL01 is experiencing blocking
spid BSPID DatabaseName    Login                          LastBatch        Runtime (Alert@:1) Command
394 0     ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:52                  5 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
404 0     ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:50                  7 (@P1 int)SELECT * FROM HSP_ACTIVITY_LEASE WHERE ACTIVITY_ID = @P1
403 404   ORAEPM_HP_VISIO 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_VISION 2015-04-06 10:49                  8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
395 394   ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 102.16.4.126\ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD 2015-04-06 10:49                  8 (@P1 int)UPDATE HSP_ACTIVE_SERVERS SET LAST_ACTIVE_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE SERVER_ID = @P1
From what I've been told, it appears that SPID 394 is the offending one but it appears to be clashing with SPID 404 and causing the blocking to occur. Both appear to be automatic processes executed by Planning to monitor\track the status of the various Planning applications in operation.
As background info, the following applies:
- All servers are MS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit);
- Hyperion Planning is v11.1.2.3.502;
- The RDBMS platform is a MS SQL Server 2008 (64-bit) instance;
- ORAEPM_HP_HPBUD is the RDBMS database accessed by a custom-developed Planning application while ORAEPM_HP_VISION is the RDBMS database for Oracle's Vision Planning application;
Has anyone ever encountered - and resolved - such an issue? If yes, how?
Many thanks in advance,
JBM

Can you pin point a particular TopLink query tied to the " FETCH_APICURSOR* " call in the app and post how it is being created?
My guess is that the application is specifying the TopLink query object to return a cursor or stream and not closing it in all cases, or keeping them open for a long period - did you say they were leaking, or is it just that a large number are open at a time leading to performance problems?
This streams+cursors are described in the TopLink docs here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b32441/qryadv.htm#CJGJBHGJ
or the 10g docs here:
http://sqltech.cl/doc/oas10gR3/web.1013/b13593/qryadv010.htm
If this is the case, you might want to use a different strategy such as pagination instead of cursors, described here:

Problems installing Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows Server 2008 serv

I attempted to install the Crystal Reports 2008 product on one of our Windows Server 2008 servers.
After installing disk 1
Crystal Reports 2008 Server attempts to open up in IE...... but opens up to a blank page
http://bmlfileserver:8080/CmcApp/
anyone have any idea why? why does it not prompt for the second CD?
Is this a compatibility with Windows Server 2008?

I'm attempting to install CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 as well, and I'm running into a few issues. Did you ever get yours resolved? I started by trying to use IIS, but I'm uninstalling it completely now and will try Tomcat instead. Which route did you go?

Windows Server 2008 Server Manager - The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request.

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Dedicated Server, and I have installed Windows Server 2008 R2. I want to use Server Manager because I don't really have that much experience with command line commands, so I wanted to use server manager, I can remotely connect
to my server but when I use Server Manager I get the error "The WinRM Client Cannot Process the Request, if the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos..." I haven't set up a domain between my PC and the Dedi, as I do not know how/or know
if this is applicable in this situation.
Thanks for your time!

Install WSUS on Server 2012 R2 in an environment that only has Server 2008 & Server 2008 R2 servers?

I want to use WSUS on Windows Server 2012 R2 in an environment that has only Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 servers in production. I currently have one WSUS server setup on 2008 R2 that will serve in one geographic location and the WSUS Server 2012 R2 that
I looking to setup will be at a separate geographic location.
Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems one can expect? Is this a bad idea?

Incremental backup in server 2008 server r2 edition

i am unable to take incremantal backup in my machine ,plz guide me to take incrental backup

Hi Only for u
Installing NTBackup on Windows 7 / 2008 R2
If wanting the original NTBackup on Win7 / Win2k8 R2 then it can be done by creating a new folder on Windows 7 ex. C:\Program Files\NTBackup and copy the following files from Windows XP to the
folder (or extract them from the install file nt5backup.cab):
C:Windows\System32\Ntbackup.exe
C:Windows\System32\Ntmsapi.dll
C:Windows\System32\Vssapi.dll
C:Windows\Help\Ntbackup.chm
C:Windows\Help\Ntbackup.hlp
Note when starting NTBackup then it will complain about "Removable Storage" not running, and this warning can be safely be ignored:
The Backup Utility cannot connect to the Removable Storage service. This service is required for use of tape drives and
other backup devices. Please exit and start the Removable Storage service using the System Services function of the management console.

Change IP Address on Oracle 9i Windows 2003/2008 Server

If I will change the IP Address on an Oracle 9i windows 2003 Server, in a client/server environment, will that cause problems in the database.
Ofcource I will change the lisner.ora script IP address and I will make new alias names on the clients.
Thanks in advance
Dimitrios

Dear Dimitrios!
If you have a DNS-Server in your network then it should be very easy to change your IP-Address because Oracle uses DNS-Names in its configuration. Therefore you don't have to change the Oracle configurationfiles tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. If you don't use DNS then there also shouldn't be any problems if you change your IP-Address in the tnsnames.ora and the listener.ora files.
Yours sincerely

Network Shares and Missing Files on Windows 2000

Music files are stored on a Windows Server in a shared folder. iTunes 5.0 is installed on a laptop. Using the advanced preferences the iTunes Music folder location is changed to:
Desktop --> My Network Places --> Music
The folder location changes to:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Nethood\Music
instead of:
\\ServerName\Music
When updating a podcast, a file is downloaded and can be played, but it is not stored on the server. A search on the local drive will not find anything -- HOWEVER IT IS THERE. Using the command prompt the file can be seen at:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Nethood\Music\Podcasts\Podcaster\Filename.mp3.
This is confusing behavior to have a file that's supposed to be stored on a server end up in a hidden file on your local drive.
RESOLUTION: Created a mapped network drive and used that for the iTunes Music folder location.

Without more information about what you've already tried and how you're networked together, I can only suggest that while in the Finder on your Mac, select Go --> Connect to Server... and enter something like "smb://ipAddress" where ipAddress is the IP address of your Windows computer.
If your computers are on a network where you have a home router, verify that they can both access the Internet. If so, they should be able to communicate with each other.
Hope this helps! bill

Missing files in Windows.old folder only 3 days after refreshing Win 8

The only folder in there is the Users folder. All other folders are gone. This is only 3 days after refreshing so it should be deleting anything. Anyway i can recover the files?

Hi,
Please check if it's hidden:
Control Panel, Folder Options, View Tab, Check mark Show Hidden Files & Folders, Uncheck Hide protected Operating System Files and check show hidden files, folders and drivers.
If it still disappear, it should be permanently deleted. You need to ask for some professional recovery company to get the data.

Connecting a Mac to a Window's 2008 small business server

I'm looking to purchase an iMac to use at work. Everyone else in the office uses a PC and are connected to our current Window's 2008 server. I would be the only person using a Mac. Is there any way to connect a Mac to the server?

There should be no problems connecting the Mac to a Windows server for file sharing. I do it every day. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
If there are Windows-based programs that you will need to use, you may need to run Windows on the Mac for those programs, but there are several very practical ways to accomplish that.

Hi,
Yes in Browser, the response is perfect. The only issue is in Calling inside in any file, i even tried Javascript's XML dom to load it, but same result, the file is just loading and never loads completely. I also tried using an SWF file with AS3 code to load XML inside as3 and send the result to any JS function.
The output comes using trace in as3, but when it comes to browser, the same loading happends and result never loads.
