Request advice on File Share Sizing

Hi,
Anyone please advice me about file share with failover cluster on WS2008 R2 or later.
I have a data about 9TB for 1700 users roaming profile. Anyone please advice me about server sizing of failover cluster.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
There is no limitaions related to the maximum size of failover cluster. The existing NTFS limits would also apply to volumes used by failover clusters.
For more detailed information about NTFS and volume limits, please see:

You could also refer to the article belwo to know the requirements and recommendations for cluster using disk and file share.

AD accounts can no longer connect to Lion AFP File Shares

I am running into an issue where AD users can no longer connect to AFP file shares. If you attempt to authenticate with one of our Lion server's local accounts, you connect without any issues, but if you put network credentials in then you get the window shake denial. This issue just came up this morning. I attempted unbinding and rebinding the machine, updating from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3, removing and re-adding share point permissions, turning file sharing off then on, and still no network account authentication.
Anyone have any advice for how to get network credential authentication to AFP filesharing working again?

You could enable the AFP server access log:
sudo serveradmin settings afp:activityLog=yes
and then look at log at /Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log
to see if that offers any clues.

This issue also happens in fresh Windows 2012R2 installations, not just upgrades from 2008R2!
I have the issue where I cannot modify any settings on SMB shares. Here is the stacktrace. It appears to be WMI related.

Permissions for website directories/files & Share Points for managing files

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone could lend some advice in how to best set up permissions, both POSIX and ACLs, for the following setup?
#1 - Permissions for directories and files for hosting a website (via OS X 10.5 "Web" GUI). Basically, I'm curious as to what people suggest for the basic files for the directory (and sub-directories and files) that go into the backend (html, images, etc.) of a website? I'm going to be being files over from another machine, so I may need to propagate these permissions once they've been moved over?
#2 - Permissions (ACL) for allowing users to access these directories and files for editing, etc. via client Macs on our LAN (this server is going to be a development web server for initial building/testing).
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
The "other" or "everyone" group should not have "write" permissions to any files under your website document root folder. The Apache web server runs as user "www" ... "www" is usually in the "everyone" group, thus allowing read-only access to the website.
You can set up the owner of your files to an admin account. Perhaps set up a group with write permissions to the file shares where your website files are.
You must first analyze who should have access to what, base your groups on that ...

Cannot connect to file shares on Yosemite server v4.0

I have a fairly new installation of a Mac Mini Server. As a Linux specialist I find some of the things frustrating but the rest of the office has a much easier life as things just work. Except for file sharing. If I use finder, use the shared section of the to display the network, find my server and double click to open up file share options, it refuses and says it cannot connect. I then use Finder>Go>Connect to Server and enter the SMB Server name as smb://[SERVER_NAME]/ and it immediately connects and I can connect to all drives successfully.
When I check the system.log after after the unsuccessful connect attemt using Finder, The following is in the log:

If I connect using Finder>Go> Connect to Sever I get the same error but the difference is the file shares are visible in the "Select the volumes you want to mount box" and I can mount the shares with no additional errors successfully. Please excuse me I am not very graphically savvy with OS-X (or OS-X for that mater). (Happy with Solaris, OpenBSD or Linux) I am a command line junkie (deep linux dude). Struggling to find my way around some of the things Apple DO. I am not sure I like people taking some of my toys and levers away.
Any clue how to solve this issue?

I am using fully qualified domain names for all servers on my network. I have multiple domains untold virtual machines etc and services everywhere as it is a dev environment. I use smb://brtsrv00.identitylabs.uk/ and it works without fault. Still no authentication from the Finder discovery. Sorry I am a bit knew to to OS-X even though I have used different MacBook's for over 7 years. DO a lot of VMware Fusion server development so don't touch OS-X much. By the way, the name is provided by DNS and both the forward reverse lookup is correct. (dig brtsrv00.identitylabs.uk and dig -x 10.0.1.3)

Windows 2003 File Share 4 node Cluster: Does Cluster Resources need to be brought offline prior removing / unmapping any LUN's from SAN end?

Hello All,
Recently, on a 4 node Windows 2003 File Share Cluster, we encountered a problem where when trying to remove few shares (that were no longer in use) directly from SAN end crashed the entire Cluster (i.e., other shares also lost their SAN connectivity). I
suppose the Cluster resources need to be brought offline prior removing it from SAN but I've been advised that these shares were not the root and instead a 'mount point' created within the share; and hence there is no need of bringing down any Cluster resources
offline.
Please can someone comment on the above and provide me detailed steps as to how we go about reclaiming SAN space from specific shares on a W2003 Cluster?
p.s., let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
The problem started when SAN Support reclaimed few storage LUNs by unmapping them from our clustered file servers. When they reclaimed the unused LUNs, other SAN drives which were there also disappeared causing the unavailability of file shares.
Internet access is not enabled on these servers. Servers in question are running 64-bit Windows Server 2003 Sp2. This is a four node file share cluster. When the unsued LUN's were pulled, the entire Cluster lost its SAN connectivity. Windows cluster service
was not starting on any of the cluster nodes. To resolve the problem all the four cluster nodes were rebooted after which cluster service started on all the cluster nodes and resources came online.
Some of the events at the time of problem occurrence were,

Need help with File Share Subscription in SSRS 2008

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to deliver a SSRS report in csv format to a windows shared location. I know how to create a File Share Subscription to get this done, but the problem arises with the frequency of the report
requested. It is like following..at 23:00, 23:30, 23:35, 23:40, 23:45, 23:50, 23:55, 24:00, 00:10, 00:20, 00:30, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00
Now because the hourly pattern is not in a periodic format I am not able to get this scheduled in a single subscription. To achieve this one approach could creating multiple subscription. But I was wondering
if there is a way to pass on the schedule information programmatically to a subscription, so that I can achieve this by creating just one subscription.
Any expert ideas...

Hi Mtiwari,
Generally, we cannot create such an irregular execution time schedule. However, we can insert the execution time into a table and customize the steps on the job as a workaround. I have tested it on my local environment, the steps below are for your
reference.
Create a table and add the execution time to it using the query below.
Use TestDB
Create table [CustomeSchedule]([ExecuteTime] Date)
Insert into [CustomeSchedule]
values('23:00'),('23:30'),('23:35'),('23:40'),('23:45'),('23:50'),('23:55'),('24:00'),('00:10'),('00:30'),('03:00'),('06:00'),('09:00'),('12:00'),('15:00'),('18:00'),('21:00')
Create a subscription to execute erery Minute.
Connect to SSMS>expand SQL Server Agent>expand Jobs, double-click the Jop.
Select Steps on the left pane on the Job Properties window.
Click Edit button and then use the query for on the command.
IF exists(SELECT [ExecuteTime]FROM [TestDB].[dbo].[CustomeSchedule3] WHERE
LEFT([ExecuteTime],5)=LEFT(CONVERT (time, SYSDATETIME()),5))
BEGIN
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='9be28f07-3784-4070-802a-b7ca0aec4c7c'
END
Change the @EventType and @EventData to the values in your Job.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Backup service points to old file share

Hi,
Couble of weeks ago I changed the Lync file share location. It went smootly, but since then the backup service as not been so happy.
PS C:\> (Get-CsBackupServiceStatus -PoolFqdn pool.internal.com).BackupModules

NonSteadyState                                 ErrorState
On the event log I can find reqular events (path is always the same):

Description:
Microsoft Lync Server 2013, Backup Service data content backup module failed to import a change entry.

I have once already took the pool pairing of, and made it again. But above event appears every 10 mins into Event log.
I tried to use
msUSmeNOW advices as well, but there were nothing for these :(
And on the application log I can see the following:

How I fixed this problem with a Microsoft PFE.
You will find the *.tmp files in CollabJournal folder. So ensure you are in WebServices Folder that the Event ID 4049 above referenced. In the above case, it will be 1-WebServices34\CollabJournal.
The SerializedBackup.tmp file will
be many in this folder. Open one of them in Notepad. Read through the notepad from left to right, you will see ChangeType="Deleted" Path="oldFilestore.....\ ...\ ..\SerializedBackup.tmp.
Note:
In my case, I did not delete them all. Select them all. Right click and cut. Move up one or more steps away from CollabJournal folder. Then create a new folder, call it anything and drop all these tmp files there. Some file will not copy, skip them
because they are being used.
You are done.
go back to Lync management shell and Run. Get-CsBackupServiceStatus
-PoolFqdn lyncpool2013.domain.com |Select-Object -ExpandProperty BackupModules
Everything should look fixed. I did not restart backup services and invoke sync in my case and everything started working.

I have set up a file share but cannot login with my account

Hi everyone. I set up a file share using the settings in OS 10.5, however when I go to login on Windows Vista using my specially created read only account (called: remote). I cannot get it.
I can only get in using these settings:
user name = xxx.xxx.x.xxx\myaccount
password = blah blah blah.
Yet when I apply the same settings changing 'myaccount' to 'remote', I cannot get in.
I'm not sure where I am going wrong, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

No need to apologise, I'm the idiot who can't setup a home network. Although I'm sure Vista is at least to blame somehow.
I have sharing turned on and it says "Windows users can access your computer at smb://192.168.x.xxx."
If I click "options" it has a box which has an "on" tick box and my name. I have ticked it. When I ticked it, it asked for my admin password which I supplied.
On the firewall front I have allow all incoming connections.
I am trying to login to 'remote' whilst my Mac is still logged in as me, 'nathan' I have successfully logged in to the mac on the same settings using account: 'nathan' on Vista whilst still in 'nathan' on the mac.
I am trying to connect going into network on vista and selecting my mac, correct.
The connect works with 'nathan' if I go:
192.168.x.xxx\nathan
password
but for some reason the 'remote' user I have set up wont work on vista using the same format.
Thanks.

File Monitor - Not working properly on SMB file share

The "File Monitor" does not trigger on SMB file share, i think this might be a bug.
I have tried the same "File Monitor" on a windows share, and it works like intended. However, when I use the same runbook on a Solaris SMB share, it does not trigger properly. It triggers when I delete or rename a file, but not any thing else (like
create, changed, etc) I have turned all the triggers on just to see what actually makes it trigger...
I'm using specified authentication (domain user and password)
The SMB folder is shared on a Solaris (SunOS 5.10).
Can anyone confirm that they also have this problem?
Is there a patch to fix this? Thanks.

Can someone please verify that they also have this problem?
Thanks.

File Share search results not opening in Chrome or Firefox

Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop

Hello,
I'm a beginner in PS. I was edit TIFF file in PS. Size of file is 21x89.1(22.6 MB). Then suddenly power - cuted. But after 5 min turn on PC and PS can't open my TIFF file.
Error is (could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop)
What should I do, how I open this TIFF file? I realy need to open this file?
Please help me...
Regards, Suvd.S

Out of curiosity, were you actually saving the file at the moment the power cut off, or had you just saved it?
If not, I don't understand the reason the file should have become corrupted. If it was successfully saved on disk from the prior save operation, just shutting off the power on Photoshop would lose your current edits, but the file should still be intact.

How can I map a drive to Azue file shares without user intervention or having a user logged on?

I have the file share created, and can manually map the drive. I have even created a batch file that will create the drive mapping. One step further, I used the following regedit to create the mapped drive:
Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
add new string value:
value name: MapS
value data: c:\azurefileshare.bat
I have a scheduled task running a batch file running the net use command, and the drive is available, and I can create/delete files, so access is not an issue.
All works fine if I log onto the server, however, what I am trying to accomplish, is to have that drive mapped upon reboot without having a user log on.   Checking the log file running the net use command when no one is logged on, I get the following:
Status       Local     Remote                    Network
Unavailable S:        path of file share
Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
New connections will be remembered.
Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Hello wdick,
Thank you for your response and getting back on this issue. I am sorry that the blog that I referred to was not available. I pretty much thought that you must be referring to the ‘File Services’ which is in preview yet. I recently had another user with a similar
question but currently, the users can access the files using only 'Interactive logon'. You can refer to this link:
