Offline Files and DFS-R (Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2)

Hey,
We are planning to migrate from full roaming profiles to folder redirection instead.
I am testing this at the moment and one thing that's happening is we're getting Sync Errors on the clients. The weird thing is that the errors come from folders that aren't even available offline (set on the Caching tab within the Advanced Sharing
tab on the server).
So the only folder available for Offline use is:
\\corp.domain.com\dfsnamespace\Users
But the sync errors are reporting these:
\\corp.domain.com\dfsnamespace\Public\Templates\...
\\corp.domain.com\dfsnamespace\Public\Resources\...
etc. The Details column shows 'The request is not supported.'
So it seems it's trying to sync any folder in the dfs root folder (\\corp.domain.com\dfsnamespace\*). And I assume 'the request is not supported' error comes up because the folder is not actually available for offline use.
How do I stop this?

Hi,
Do you configure “Always available offline” on the clients? If so, disable it to check if the issue still exists. The Offline Files feature must be enabled on the client computer for files and programs to be automatically cached. Additionally, the
Optimized for performance option does not have any effect on client computers using Windows Vista or newer.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

Auditing failed access to files and folders in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot audit the failed access to files and folders on my server. I'm trying to replace a unix-based NAS with a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 solution so I can use my current audit tools (the 'nix NAS
has basically none). I'm looking for a solution for a small remote office with 5-10 users and am looking at Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (no props yet, but on a Buffalo appliance). I specifically need to audit the failure of a user to access
folders and files they are not supposed to view, but on this appliance it never shows. I have:
Enabled audit Object access for File system, File share and Detailed file share
Set the security of the top-level share to everyone full control
Used NTFS file permissions to set who can/cannot see particular folders
On those folders (and letting those permissions flow down) I've set the auditing tab to "Fail - Everyone - Full Control - This folder, subfolders and files"
On the audit log I only see "Audit Success" messages for items like "A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access (Event 5145) - but never a failure audit (because this user was not allowed access by NTFS permissions).
I've done this successfully with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 w/SP1 and am wondering if anybody has tried this with the Windows Storage Server version (with success of course). My customer wants an inexpensive "appliance" and I thought this new
variant of 2008 was the ticket, but I can't if it won't provide this audit.
Any thoughts? Any of you have luck with this? I am (due to the fact I bought this appliance out of my own pocket) using the WSS "Workgroup" flavor and am wondering if this feature has been stripped from the workgroup edition of WSS.
TIA,
--Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
The steps to setup Audit on a WSS system should be the same as a standard version of Windows Server. So please redo the steps listed below to see if issue still exists:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.

But my event 55 alerts only happen when windows backup attempts to create a shadow copy on a drive volume created for backups.
We use to be able to backup the EFI, C, and D partitions in the past. After a hardware failure and Motherboard replacement and a system restore, we can no longer backup the volumes without the Windows Block Level Backup Engine Service service terminated

How can I fix this issue?

Hi,
The issue could be due to the shadow copies on the backup volumes are corrupt. You could try to delete these shadow copies to check if the issue still exist.

Window SBS server 2008 and window server 2008 R2 on the same domain

Hi all,
I am a person only work for linux system. Recently i work for my company that using microsoft technologie. So i have a lot of trouble. Could you please help me and below are my big troble that i have met:
In my system, i have the first window SBS server 2008 run on our domain. However my organization growth up and we have more than 150 users and mailbox of exchange server 2007. So i do not want to use my sbs server 2008 anymore.
I am going to install a window server 2008 R2 64 bit and join it into the same domain with sbs server 2008. It will be replicate the username, dns, OU and group policy...After that i will tranfer FSMO role to new server and i will demote then remove the
sbs server.
My boss say that i should not use this solution because window server sbs can not run with any other kinds of window server 2008 (R2, standard, enterprise...) and it will automatically shutdown the main server after a couple of days.
Someone have experience can help me. I am so confuse now

Maybe this will also help to better understand the steps involved:

And remember, as long as you don't move the PDC to one of the new DCs, you can leave the SBS 2008 up indefinitely. But I would remove Exchange 2007 off it right away once I've migrated the mailboxes and public folders, otherwise
you will get yourself into an Exchange coexistence scenario which is much more complex to configure and support because of the CAS differences, changing the URLs on the old one to "legacy.domain.com," getting a new UC/SAN cert with the correct
names on it, and more. Believe me, you really don't want to coexist them. The only time I've coexisted Exchange versions is during large migrations, such as 500 or more. Otherwise, I just migrate the mailboxes over a weekend and get it done with.

You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

Transfer file from UNIX to windows application server G:\ drive

Dear Expert,
Really need some help on this, very urgent !
The download program schedule in background to allow file store in unix.
Can we do a unix command in abap program to transfer the file from unix to windows application server G:\ drive.
The gateway for that application server is ukblmqg02.emea.astrazeneca.net .
Anyone have the sample source code ?
Thanks&regards
Nislina

Hi,
1.
There is a FM 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT'.
If the requirement need not necessarily require a FM to transfer a file, then you can also use transaction 'CG3Y' to transfer a file
from application server to presentation server.
2.
Try to use FM DOCFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT. I am using it to download a file from SAP application server to desktop.
Source path should be application server file path along with file name i.e. /tmp/sample.xls.
Target path should be something like c:\file.xls.
Best regards,

How to install KB2950358 on Windows STORAGE Server 2008 R2?

Hello
I am experiencing the exact issue described
here on my WD Sentinel DX4000 nas box which runs Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. This is causing regular crashes and reboots and general unreliability when the memory leak causes all ram to be used up and the CPU is constantly running at 100% which both
increases electricity usage and shortens the lifespan of the system.
I have downloaded the hotfix on that KB article but it refuses to install claiming that it is not compatible. When the underlying Windows Server 2008 R2 OS is the same how can it not be compatible? My theory is that the Storage server version is only used
and available on a small handful of OEM devices and there's barely any information of it on the internet so I think Microsoft have forgotten to add it to the compatibility list for this particular hotfix.
After weeks of searching, I cannot find a way to force install the update. It's not a business-critical system and I've got backups of it so I am happy to try manual or risky efforts to get it installed. I have tried extracting the MSU file but that doesn't
give me any useful files to install it manually or skip the compatibility checks.
I've also tried to contact Microsoft directly but they don't even have Storage Server listed as an option on their support contact page so I've given up there, as a last resort I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Other online forums
refuse to help saying it's too risky with a server but personally I want it installed and will try anything to do so because I've got a £1000 NAS sitting here that is unusable due to this issue. I'd rather not reinstall the OS as the problem reoccurs - I've
tried it already before I found this KB article.
Bottom line, Microsoft have identified the issue and released a hotfix, the server version IS supported, but was not added to the compatibility restrictions of the update so I cannot get the update installed.
Any advice gladly received. Hopefully someone from MS will see this and be able to update the compatibility of the hotfix if nothing else is possible.

I see SP1 is a prerequisite. Also the manufacturer may have specific patch procedures or recommendations so I'd probably contact them directly.

Cannot Install PB Runtime 12.0 or 12.5 on Windows 8 Server 2008 R2

Greetings All!!
I am trying to set up a new server for deployment and when I run either the PB Runtime for 12.0 or 12.5 I get an error stating (in general) module pbjvm120.dll failed to register.
I am also having this problem with another Windows 2008 Server install. I had to move on with the last one, but I need this one up and running now so I am asking for advice/help.
I attached a screenshot of the error.
Thanks all!!
Best,
Paul

Thanks Gentlmen!!
I don't know how the '8' in Windows 8 Server 2008 R2 got in there, but it is just Windows Server 2008 R2.
I copied msvcr71.dll , msvcp71.dll and atl71.dll to the c:\windows\system32 directory. Tried again and got the same error as shown in my screenshot. This 'is' a VM. I am logged into the machine as Administrator.
Chris, what do you mean by official MR?
I am creating the runtime files using the PB Runtime Packager.
Thank you!!

Is it safe to delete CiFiles folder on Windows storage Server 2008

Hi Team,
.ci file growing in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\Indexer\CiFiles" location. Is it safe to delete the CI file. please let me know, any other way to disable
the growth of CI files.
What is the route cause? This is file server using windows storage server 2008 OS.
How to avoid in future this type of issue?
My total hard disk size 80 GB but now free space only 110 Almost full my hard disk. So please help to advise how to clear
all ci files?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When you use indexing service, the service create .ci files. The files are content index files on the server. As long as the service is not running you should not encounter any problems if you delete the folder.

Active directory recycle bin in Windows STORAGE server 2008 R2

I'd like to find a tool that helps me to monitor deleted server files. I understand that this tool is called Active directory recycle bin. I can't enable it. I can't even open lpd.exe. I'm using Windows storage server 2008 r2 essentials. Could someone
help me with that? Thanks in advance.

In that case you must use a solution which combines Auditing
and Backup solutions. Just to know who has deleted a file or folder does not really help you. You must be able to restore the deleted file or folders.
If you need to find out at what time who deletes what file you should use auditing. Normally organizations enable auditing on sensitive data and folders to keep track who touches the stuff. Auditing is enabled in windows and by the administrator. Take a
look at the below links if you want to enable auditing on files and folders:
Use auditing to track who deleted your files
However do not forget that you need to have backup solutions in order to restore a deleted file in case someone accidentally or intentionally deletes a file or folder. Using System Restore with Previous Version feature may comes handy if you are dealing
with small number of computers. Otherwise you need to prepare yourself for a backup plan using Data Protection Manager as Denis mentioned or Windows Backup role (WBadmin) including in Windows Server 2008. More info on links below. I have included a video of
how to recover lost data using previous versions for you.

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Client restore for UEFI Bios Error

My surface pro 3 has been backing up successfully to a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials for months now. I now need to restore the Surface Pro 3 to backup created last week. However I cannot get the Surface Pro3 to boot from the
Recovery stick created by the Recovery Tools task. I also can't get the Surface to boot from an external dvd drive. The Surface seems to just ignore the External DVD drive. Maybe there is a problem with it. I will try it somewhere else.
However the error I get trying to boot from the USB is the following.
Window Boot Manger
File \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000d
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
How do I fix this issue and get the Surface Pro 3 to restore from backup?

Hi,
Please try to disable secure boot in BIOS and check Enable Legacy Option ROMs under Advanced Boot options to resolve the issue.

Windows Storage Server 2008 - unzip with drag & drop from Windows 7 client fails

Hello.
As i asked this question in German and got no answer so i try it in English now.
I have the following problem:
We have a Windows SBS 2008, where we store our files. If somebody opens a ZIP-file on a network share from a Windows 7 Client (64 Bit) it is possible to drag & drop the content (multiple files) to a directory. So far everything works as expected.
We now have an additional Windows Storage Server 2008 integrated in our domain (Buffalo Tera Station WS-QV8/R5), where we also store files. If somebody opens the same ZIP-file on a network share of this server from a Windows 7 Client and tries to drag &
drop the content the following happens:
1. only one file is extracted and to display the file a refresh of the explorer view is needed.
2. when the drag & drop action is repeated a second file is extracted
Not alle files are extracted and there is no error message or indication why this happens.
The behaviour is reproducible from another Windows 7 Client (32 Bit).
If we try to drag & drop the files from the ZIP-file on the Windows Storage Server network sahre to a directory on the SBS network share all files are extracted correctly.
On the Windows Storage Server itself all files are extracted without problmems. Therefore it must be a problem with the combination of Windows Storage Server und Windows 7 Client accessing the files via network shares.
Are there any ideas where this problem could be located? Has anybody the same phenomenon and maybe a solution for it?
Thanks in advance
