Problem with Windows Vista Server 2008 - Font characters replaced with square blocks on login screen

Hi! Last week, I set up a server for a client (Windows Vista Server 2008). Everything was working fine until this week when I did a remote login, and the server's screen shows all blocks instead of character (ie. "Administrator" shows up as Rectangular blocks) - and when I type in the password box, my characters come out the same blocks. The computer lets me login like this but then when the desktop displays, all texts is Blocks - like the windows default font is missing.
Anybody else run into this mystery and is there a fix?
Thanks.

Hello,
Based on my experience, this issue might be caused by compatibility issues of video card driver and language options settings.
I’d like to suggest you try the following steps to fix the issue.
1.    Please check whether you have installed correct video card drivers on both client and server machines. You’d better download the latest drivers from Video card manufacture and reinstall the drivers on both of the machines.
2.    Please confirm whether the regional and language options settings on client and server machines are the same. If not, please temporarily change the settings on two machines to be the same and have another test.
3.    If you use some third-party remote desktop connection tools to connect to the server, please have another try with Windows build-in remote desktop connection.
I hope this helps, thanks.

Neo Zhu

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials connecting with Launchpad on Mac OS 10.9.2

Note: Note to moderators, I accidentally submitted this to Windows Small Business Server Forums. If someone could move this thread to the appropriate directory would be much appreciated.
Hello we have a client which has a Mac OSX 10.9.2 and we are trying to connect the Mac Launchpad to the Mac. We have a VPN set up and it is working correctly so we connect to the server by using servername:65510/connect/ this brings us up with the correct
screen and prompts us to download software for mac, when opening we can get to the mac connector and we go through all the setup however when we reach "User Credentials" and we enter the correct password it comes up saying "Cannot connect to
the server using the name that was entered. Check if the specified value is correct and try again." We have set up macs before using this software the only difference is this is the first Mac which has been on OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
We have spent countless hours diagnosing and looking into all the possible reasons this could be and the only conclusion is that it must either be a software glitch on the Mac or on the server itself. I was doing some research and found a thread by a user
named
ZconR on Monday, January 14, 2013 6:08 PM
"This is apparently a problem with Update Rollup 4 for the server. If you remove this update it will allow you to move forward
with the installation of the MAC connector software using Admin credentials. Hope this helps. (It seems you can apply the update after the software installs and everything should continue to work.)"
This would fit in perfectly with our problem and I could not find any sources to confirm this information. Can anyone confirm if this is issue is correct and if uninstalling Rollup 4 will make this work?

Hi James,
Based on your description, I can find a known issue for this
Update Rollup 4. Please check if fit the current situation of your problem. Descript as below:
You cannot install this update by using a Mac client connector that has Update Rollup 4 for Windows Storage
Server 2008 R2 Essentials installed. This issue occurs because of a change requirement for Mac external binaries. To work around this issue, reinstall the Mac client connector before you install Update Rollup 4.
Note: This issue only occurs on a server that has Update Rollup 3 for Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials
installed.
By the way, did
you install the Mac client connector by using administrator account?
Hope this helps.

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

Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008?

Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008? We are having printing issues when on WTS 2003.

BPC 7.0M SP08 was released on September 1st and now supports the client install on both Server 2008 and Windows 7 so yes, you should be able to use terminal server in Windows 2008 if you install SP08. It also has limited support for Office 2010, full support will come with SP09. SAP Note 1490544 is the central SP08 note, and 1504400 is the download note.

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!!

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 backup fail to UEFI based computers

Hai All
I have got Windows Storage Server 2008 running on a WD Sentinel DX4000. Recently my company bought a couple of new Dell laptops all running windows 8.1 64bit OS. Only three older laptops were left. Now for the fun part...I installed the connectors pointing
to the Sentinel on the laptops, and as expected the pc's show on the dashboard of the Storage Server, but all of the backups fail on the newer laptops. I installed the connectors on the older laptops as well and they go through no problem
The only difference between the older laptops and the new ones are the GPT partition drives and laptops running on UEFI, the older laptops, although running the same OS, do not have GPT and UEFI. I looked at the Event Viewer and found three errors to do
with the backup: Event 514 pointing to a ClientVSSProblem, Event 8194 pointing to Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querrying for the VSSWriterCallback interface, hr=0x80070005,Access Denied and the last one is Event 513 CAPI2, Cryptographic
Service failed while processing onIdentity() call in the System Writerobject Details: AddLegacyDriverFiles: Unable to back up image of binary Microsoft Link-Layer Discovery Protocol. I did as most articles suggested but with no change. From changing registries
to taking ownership of the %windir% and adding the NT AUTHORITY, the NT Service and BUILTIN\Users. No change.
Help is much appreciated before i make a boat anchor out of the WD Sentinel.
Kind regards

Well looks like there is a change or two to be made on the client computer, granting some access to the NT Services and NT Authority. To automate this fix I wrote a batch file to be run on the client pc:
takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /a
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM":(RX)
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller":(F)
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "BUILTIN\Users":(RX)
pause
takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\* /a
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM":(RX)
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller":(F)
pause
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "BUILTIN\Users":(RX)
net stop cryptsvc
pause
net start cryptsvc
pause
The backup now starts on the Sentinel

Admin Commands issue on Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit

Hi,
I have tried exactly same process on FMS3.5 Installed on Centos and it worked perfectly.
But not working in case of Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit.
Here is what i am trying to do -
Basically i want to extract live streams list and display them in HTML as ordered list on another server them FMS.
What i did in the case of FMS on Centos server -
I installed Apache and PHP on this server and created a PHP file with following text in it. -
abc.php
   $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://<fms-server-ip>:1111/admin/getLiveStreams?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst=live','Simple XMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
foreach($xml->children() as $child)
   foreach($child->children() as $child2)
          echo $child2 . ",";
and in hosting server where i want to display the list i entered following code in PHP file -
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://<fms-server-ip>/abc.php');
echo $homepage;
i got comma seperated values easily and everything is loading fast without any issue.
Now problem occured with Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit.
I installed FMS, Apache and PHP in this server also, did evrything in the same way like in centos.
FMS, APache and PHP files are working fine in this.
But only problem occured when in abc.php i use
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://<fms-server-ip>:1111/admin/getLiveStreams?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst=live','Simple XMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
After this file do not loads and takes longer time to load and after some time a blank page appears. It works fine with a local XML file.
i am able to see the XML file by opening it directly in browser, but somehow this is not working with   simplexml_load_file. I dont think this is PHP issue because with local XML file it works fine. May be some port issue or something else. But i am able to view XML file directly in browser from another computers as well.
Kindly help, is there some other configurations should be changed in case of windows version. I have allowed admin commands as usual before doing all this. Ports 1111,80,1935 are also opened.
Please guide

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.

Cannot quit Visual FoxPro (Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1)

Hi everybody:
This is not the typical question about this error, because the problem here is not about how to quit (CLEAR EVENTS then QUIT). The really and weird problem is that our application do no execute the error trapping routines (Try/Catch and ON ERROR) and tries
to directly Quit.
I have never seen something like this before, error trapping routines not executed.
I try to explain the problem better:
- The user click on the Citrix icon of our App
- Citrix shows the executed processes (establishing connection, applying user config, loading profile, etc)
- The Application (VFP 9 SP2) is started and in any moment, while loading, occurs an error that is not handled by error handlers, and it executes a "kind" of a Quit command, that we detect because have a ON SHUTDOWN to catch it, then the App shut
down and the user must click the Citrix icon and start all over again, up to 7 times, when the App really load and work.
- I think that it is useful to make clear that no QUIT command is really causing this, just the behaviour of the QUIT when an error occurs, but just while loading. If the App get completely loeaded, then everything works as expected
Infraestructure:
- Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1
- There are up to 50 concurrent users max in every virtualized server
- More than 10 GB of free disk space / Up to 4 GB ram
- RAM Memory is never used to the max
- CPU (Intel Xeon) is never used to the max (up to 90% in some cases)
- Data (DBFs for temporal work) ar on local drive, not over network (to avoid network known problems with smb2-3)
- There are connection to a Oracle 11 database for permanently storing the data
About the errors:
- They are not always the same or in the same place. In example, in one execution could fail the query of SET("Printer",2), in other execution could fail a SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE (sometimes already loaded), in other could fail a "DO
WHILE .T." in a init event.... completely crazy, and in all cases the errors are not thrown, not a single error code, the App just try to quit, as if ALT+F4 where pressed.
- All this does not happen allways to everyone, but happens many times in the day to many many users as to be worried
- The same user can have this error many times a day, but not allways
- Some of the problems started when migrating to Windows Terminal Server 2008, but didn't notice nothing special in the beginning, but a year later (last 2014) problems tend to go worse
Tried solutions:
- For the "SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE" error, a "IF xxx $ SET('PROCEDURE')" check was added
- The "SET('Printer',2)" check was moved out of initialization code, so it executes when user want to print the first time. In this case was neccesary to talk with IT guys to map a default printer after the App runs, and not in background, as it
was.
- Other checks and modifications was made to minimize posibility of errors
- Adding a timeout of 5 secs in the start of the program, to force a wait
- Restart of virtual servers (not the phisical) every 3 weeks
What I suspect:
- Some Microsoft optimization (memory?, process execution?) in WTS-2008 may interfere?
- Some VMWare memory management may interfere with WTS-2008?
- Some Citrix management may interfere with both?
- Server degradation because of day to day use
Results until now:
- Apparently, adding the timeout to force 5 secs delay and the restart of the server have made a notable enhancement in App start and running
with far fewer
errors
Has
this happened to anyone?
Thanks! o_O
Fernando D. Bozzo / Madrid (Spain)

I never had this type of problems, but somewhat similar start up problems. I'd say it indicates resource problems. Low RAM can cause many unpredictable things. In my case loading much data at the begin of an application caused out of memory errors, which
were reported and logged normally, though.
I made a small tool using Windows API functions GetPerformanceInfo and GetProcessMemoryInfo, you'll find declaration and usage like usual at the News2News site. It's a bit lengthy and cluttered, but pretty much what you find there anyway, so I'll not post
my utility code.
I could quite clearly see how many users degraded available memory per session and at some time no further instance of the application was possible on the server. In my case RDP was used to start the app, Citrix will be quite the same, in the end the application
runs on some server and users see the remote running application.

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.

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.

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.
