Seperate storage server

i am new to DMS configuation, and now I have a task to enable DMS service. My situration is the SAP server space seems not very well, can i set files stoarge in another storage location. Thanks!

Hi manoj,
sorry if iam interfearing
1) Some client are not kneen on going for a new Content server, as if the Documents are stored in Content server, iam not sure the content server will allow access of the stored document with out Logging in to SAP, can you please clarify if i'm wrong.
2) if at all the common server is used for storing original files it has to be defined as Vault, if iam right, so as told by you how will it increase the load on SAP DataBase?
3) in this case, if document are stored in Vault with out SAP CV01N checkin, (like normal window copy in system) can these original files be Accessed or viewed in SAP.
ie... there are some files in the Vault server kept there physically for many years can this documents be Accessed and viewed in SAP transactions, or they have to be checked in through SAP to view them in SAP.
please Clarify
Regards
Sathish

Seperate storage server for DMS

Hi,
we are in sizing for a DMS project for our ECC 6.0 system. Could you suggest some names of saparate storage server for DMS ?
SAP K-Pro ?
IXOS ?
Tivoli ?
Where can I find a list of certified software ?
Regards.

Check your ERP installation discs. You will find the SAP content server there. Install it and then point CSADMIN at the repository and you are done.
ERP comes with it's own content sever that can be installed on a separate box. No need to buy more.

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.

Windows storage server 2012 share not connecting by share name but connecting thru IP address from windows XP machines

We have a windows storage server 2012 (HP storage server) in our domain. All of sudden We had a issue, connecting the server shares using the share name only from XP machines, but it is connecting through IP address with a delayed response. We are getting
the below error message from all the windows XP SP2 machines in our domain.
"\\<share name> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have a access permissions.
Login Failure: The target account name is incorrect."
But it is connecting while we are trying from windows 7 machines. Also the other server shares (Windows 2003 server) are connecting without any issues using the share name. In addition to this we gave everyone permission for this share. And it worked
well before but not now. Could you please suggest any solution for this complex issue?
Thanks,

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.

Hi,
Firstly I would like to confirm if you are using the "File History" function on Windows 8 or the Windows Server enssential function to backup client machines?
If it is Windows Server Enssential related, please first try to reinstall the client side application and see if the backup function will back to work.
If it is the File History function, it is recommended to post to Windows 8 forum as it is a client operation system issue.
Here is an article regarding File History function:

Problems setting up Remote Web Access in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

We just bought a WD Sentinel DX4000 Storage Server and went through the Remote Web Access wizard. It setup the router just fine but when we got to the setup your domain name we have been having
headaches ever since. We chose the option to use our own domain name, which we have registered through GoDaddy. It then showed that yes, our provider was GoDaddy but then it told us we needed to update our service with GoDaddy so we clicked the
"Go to GoDaddy.com" button and it sent us to a page to purchase an SSL certificate. So, we did that but then had issues with it not being able to be managed in our GoDaddy account. So, I went into the domain name with GoDaddy and purchased
a certificate there and got it setup on the domain name with GoDaddy.
The problem is that when I try to go through the wizard again to set up the domain name I still have to click the goDaddy button to move to the next page where I type my domain name, username, and password
with GoDaddy. I setup the remote extension in the A records with GoDaddy as remote.mydomain.com, and put in my username and password with GoDaddy. After I click next it tries to connect to the domain name service provider but then gives me the
following error message over and over:
The domain name was not set up for your server. Wait a few minutes and run the wizard again.
An unexpected or unknown problem occurred. Please wait a few minutes, and then try again.
Well, I have tried this several times and am about to start pulling my hair out. Can anyone please tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi,
Please verify the installed certificate status, you could refer to the article below to install GoDaddy SLL Certificates.

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 Using 4TB hard disk

Hi, I have a HP X1600 G2, then I bought 12 x 4TB hard disk for increasing the disk space for this unit.
What I want to do is using the hardware array to configure the following:
3 x 4TB RAID-5 plus 1 Spare to create 3 Logical Drives.
Then Spanned set it to a total of 24TB drive within the system.
Is it going to be work, or not?
As I read the article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773268(v=ws.10).aspx
Said to use 2TB drive to be able to get a 64TB in total.
Thanks in advance, Fortuno

Thanks Shaon,
Yes, after I setup on the RAID controller, with GPT on the hard disk, I am able to create the spanned set for 24TB on the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 that comes with the unit.
Thanks again!

can I find a list. I do not understand what is wrong with my domain provider. To my understanding my provider supplies all the requirements needed. So, what is the problem. I purchased a certificate and I believe I installed it in the server correctly.
Can I get around this impediment using my domain and certificate?

I have resolved this problem and I will try to make a very long story into a short one.
After Western Digital told me they could not support no other provider but E-NomCentral and GoDaddy and consulting with my domain provider, I followed GoDaddy advice in setting up an Off-Site-DNS.
Basically making GoDaddy a relay service. Both GoDaddy and my provider offer this service free of charge.
As soon as I set up the Off-Site-DNS my e-mail server went down. I tried everything I knew but finally called GoDaddy for help. The tech told me my syntax was backwards and he corrected it. That fixed it………almost. Everything on my side of the modem worked
perfectly but on the outside, nothing. Every telnet I did came back saying ‘unable to connect’. Same results for all ports
- 25, 110, and 587. My users were crying because of no e-mail. Remember, all diagnostics said that everything was fine on the inside but not working at all on the outside of the modem.
Frustrated, I started configuring the storage server. The storage server recognized that I was connected to GoDaddy, I then got the ‘configure domain manually’ option that Justin talked above. When I finished the storage server I got the same results as
the e-mail server…..’unable to connect’ when attempting to access from the other side of the modem.
I started swapping out units (switches, routers, etcetera). No avail.
Realizing that there was nothing left to do, I turned GoDaddy off. No adjustment to the domain, just eliminated the Off-Site-DNS! Everything started to work. Within 2 hours ALL e-mail functions were restored. Then it occurred to me, with the storage server
configured all I had to do was put the correct A record on my domain and the storage server should work, also. I created the record and guess what. The storage server works!!
Conclusion. Why did GoDaddy not work? I do not have a clue. It
APPEARED that the ports were blocked by someone. But who? Why? If not, why those results? All I know is both servers are accessible and usable. I thank GoDaddy for the use of their DNS servers in, I assume, fooling Microsoft’s firmware. Whatever the
case I am up & running and that is all that matters.
Thank you

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials Clustering

Dear,
I would like to know the features of Window Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials. I also want to know if this OS supports Clustering. I checked on Microsoft Website but there is no information regarding this OS.
I have WD Sentinel 4100 RX boxes.. Can I use these 2 boxes as a cluster? And if yes, can I configure it as Failover Cluster?
I appreciate any responses. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,

This OS can only be purchased as an OEM pre-installed 'device', so customisation options are minimal.
There is no clustering support for the Essentials feature set itself, even if you could cluster the underlying OS.
Without knowing your game plan, it is difficult to speculate, but you may be looking for a full storage server solution.

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.
