Prepositioning files on a Server 2008 Cluster

I recently replaced a Server 2003 cluster with a server 2008 cluster. After the migration my prepostioning stopped functioning. The virtual servers are named the same and all the credentials, etc are the same. If I go into one of the preposition definitions and click browse I get a could not access cifs://<servername>. If I point to any of the other servers I am able to browse. Doesn't matter if they are server 2003 or 2008. The clustered servers are domain controllers. The version is 4.1.1c

Could you elaborate on this,as I am having the same issues? Our prepositioning works on the 2003 boxes but not the new 2008 ones.
Where abouts did you turn off the server signing .My serevr team say they have done this,but i would like to check myself.Is there anything else you changed? I can browse the files and select them fine,its just that once the schedule has started,no files get copied.
thanks,
Nick

Msg 948: The database xyz cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downward path is not supported..

You are trying to attach SQL Server 2012 database files to SQL Server 2008 R2 which is not allowed, you either need to upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to 2012 or alternatively you can generate all scripts from SQL Server 2012 and execute it in SQL Server
2008 R2.
You can refer below link to how to generate script.

Failover of ASCS takes very long on a Windows Server 2008 Cluster

Hello everybody,
I have configured a ABAP SCS (NetWeaver 7.0) running on a Windows Server 2008 Cluster. The database runs on SQL Server 2008 which is also configured for use in the MSCS. The ASCS and the database run fine in the Cluster. So far so good.
When I want to move the SAP Group which contains the ASCS from on node the other node, then the failover will take very long (approximately 2-3 minutes). The Service of the group will go offline in a few seconds, but the Instance needs about 1 minute to go offline and on the other node it needs more then one minute to become online.
The failover of the databaseinstance will take only about 10 seconds.
Have you got any ideas why the failover of the SAP Group will take so long?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind Regards,
Wolfgang

One minute would be somewhat long if you are running a faster server and just the ABAP environment. But I've seen ABAP/JAVA systems take up to 10 minutes to restart on a win 2005 clustered system.
Have you looked through the developer traces?

Apply monthly Windows 2008 r2 updates within SQL Server 2008 cluster

Hello is applying Windows updates within 2 node SQL Server 2008 cluster (active-passive) as simple as download/install the windows update on the passive node, then failover, then apply on other node, and then fail back over ?...or are there other needed/recommended
steps ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Shanky_621 much appreciated.
In your link provided http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174799 it looks like the steps order is slightly different from this link of
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731291.aspx which mentions...
"...where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node."
...does it matter which is done first ('Pause' or 'move Services/Application') or can I simply go to the Passive node (say 'B' where there are no Services or Applications currently on it), 'Pause' it, apply the Windows updates, then 'Resume' it, &
reboot ?

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.
Best regards,

CHM files and Windows Server 2008

RH 7, HTML
Support person has a customer trying to view .chm files in Windows Server 2008. They went ahead and tried the "normal" registry fix to view chm files over a network, but that didn't not fix the issue.
My understanding is that chm files can't be viewed in Windows Server at all, but thought I'd verify - is there any way to view chm files in Windows Server 2008?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Jeff,
I don't think that anything has changed in Windows 2008, and .chm files are certainly viewable in this version of Windows. However, it may be that the customer needs to tinker with the security settings in Internet Explorer to make remote .chm files viewable. See this article for details:
http://weblog.helpware.net/?p=50
To ensure that the correct registry changes are being made, the customer could try making them with the free HHReg utility. It's available from here:

Server 2008 Cluster - OSX 10.5.5

Hi
I am creating a Windows Server 2008 HA filesystem cluster which has been setup and is working perfectly. I have a OSX 10.5.5 build laptop running and trying to access the shares on the cluster. It can successfully ping/see/connect to the cluster and authenticate correctly, yet after all of that no shares are published
I have the NFS protocol enabled and have tried sharing using both SMB and NFS, and the mac client is not able to connect. Ive tried connecting over cifs:// smb:// nfs:// through DNS and through IP, but all return the same problem
Ive looked around and it seems this is not an uncommon situation but does anyone have any tips/clues/etc to solve this?? Apple...anyone??
Its not mission critical for my mac clients to use these filesystem but it would (and should work) be ideal for 100% interoperability and get my osx clients viewing the same files as the windows people
Any thoughts?

To anyone who is having this issue:
I found a resolution in a Microsoft forum, and the resolution comes from Apple
Connect using the following method:
smb://netbiosname:139/sharename
Hopefully this issue will be permanently fixed in future Apple updates or MS KB articles

Trying to zip / compress a file in Windows Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 server

Hi,
We are trying to zip / compress a xml file that has been created by retrieving data from SQL Server 2008 R2 database running on Windows Server 2008.
To compress this file, we cannot use any external softwares like 7-zip or WinZip.
So, we would like to know if there is any windows default compression tool that works on command line to compress the file?
As this is a live server we cannot apply any other softwares.
Please suggest any ways to do it in Windows Server 2008 machine.
Thanks & Regards
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,
and for uncompress what can I use
This is a way to do it in SSIS

Reading .txt file on Windows Server 2008

I have a Java 7 application that we distribute, and it reads configurations from a .txt file distributed with it, in the same directory as the .jar file. On Windows 7, windows XP, Windows 8, this works fine, but on our server, running Windows Server 2008, this fails. It is a simple check that fails:
Path p = Paths.get("config.txt");
if(Files.isReadable(p))
This will not work on Windows Server 2008 r2. It suspect that it somehow hasn't got read permissions, but I'm not sure.
It also fails if the absolute path is specified.

And what if you use the regular old fashioned standard IO File class and not Files to check if the file is readable (File.canRead())?
Methinks (or to be honest: I guess) there is something odd with the creation of the Path object on your windows server file system, but I wouldn't be able to tell what exactly.

File search on Server 2008 using Windows 7 workstation

Trying to get Windows 7 clients to search a network file share using the search index on the file server, but doesnt seem to be working.
My setup is: Windows Storage Server Standard 2008 (not R2), Windows 7 Standard workstation with mapped network drive pointing to file share on Storage Server. File Server role is installed on server as well as Windows Search Service, but when I run a test
search on the server, I get entirely different results from running a test search on the Windows 7 client.
I've heard of setting the file share to enable "Offline Mode" on the client workstation to allow the workstation to index the share, but I cant have every workstation downloading and indexing a copy of our file share (hundreds of gigabytes). I
tried adding the mapped network drive to the Windows 7 Document Library, but I get the error message saying that the location cant be added because it's not indexed. Suggestions?
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
First please check if Windows Search 4.0 could be installed on your server - it is for Windows Server 2008 so it may not able to be installed on a Windows Storage Server 2008.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940157/en-us
For remote indexing please see the Remote Query part of the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772446(v=ws.10).aspx
Remote Query
Windows Search 4.0 extends the ability to search across remote desktops. Previously, only Windows Vista users could query recognizable indexes on remote Vista computers; now, WS4 enables users to query remote computers running any supported operating system.
Remote querying includes the following features:
Queries work across all supported OSes (Windows XP, Server 2003, Home Server, and Vista).
All shared NTFS folders are automatically indexed (excludes all FAT file systems).
All shared, and therefore indexed, locations can be remotely queried.
The location on the remote computer must be shared and it must be indexed. With Group Policy, administrators can control whether shared locations are automatically indexed.

Oracle 10g R2 whitout RAC in a cluster hw (Windows Server 2008 cluster)

Hi,
Is this possible?
I ask it 'cause my customer wants to improve this solution.
I know that Oracle 10gR2 vs Windows Server 2008 is not supported and Oracle Standalone vs Hardware Cluster, neither too, but it's possible or will be a source of big problems?
Thanks in advance.
JRC.

Hi lain;
Please check Re: oracle10g on linux cluster
In my issue we were working on linux cluster. Our aim is
we have 3 server and they are linux cluster OS level. Let us call those server A,B and C... We want to make oracle10g works on server A and when server A is gone oracle10g on B server take place of A, if server B gone too, oracle10g on C server take place of B.... In each server we had different numver of database. I mean on machine a we have 3 database, on server B we have 4 database and on server C we have 7
What i do for this:
1. I install 10g database software only (not created database)
2. using netca and create listener for each database
3. using dbca and create database for each server.While on dbca wizard i gave SAN path for dbf
4. Linux admin arrange all other stuff(I mean when db1 on server A crash server B take responsibility of Server A and db1 keep working)
I hope it helps you

Publish multiple files - WIndows Media Server 2008 R2

Hi all - apologies am new to Windows Media Server and just installed a test one on a 2008 R2 Server. I can easily publish a single file but the Project I am working on will need to make 200+ files available to users. I know I can publish a
directory where I place the files but is there an easy way once the directory is published for users to select the file they want. Each time I've done it, I seem to just get a playlist of all the files.
On my test client I am using windows media player 11.0
Many thanks

Hello,Sometimes on my main file server if user1 on \\workstation1 creates a directory on \\server\share... User2 on \\workstation2 sometimes can not see the directory for 20 minutes.This only happens on Windows 7 machines. I still have a few Windows XP machines (don't ask) and this is not a problem on XP.Also if I log into the server I can see the data.So to recap say my boss adds a spreadsheet to a share and sends me an email to open the spreadsheet. When I browse to the share from Windows 7 the spreadsheet is not there, but will show up 20 minutes later. But I could go to another Windows 7 machine and the spreadsheet could be there. Also this happens with renaming directories.It happens randomly and not all the time.The file server
