Shared Excel Files Being Deleted by DFSR

Hi
I've got a problem with our DFS setup. For several years we've been replicating from a live 2003 server to a 2008 R2 server for backup purposes. Users can only access the live server. The 2008 folders were not shared and never edited.
We needed to replace the 2003 server so I made the 2008 live and shared the folders and pointed DFS to that as the live target. After deleting the old replication group, removing the 2003 server completely and deleting the old DFSR folder from the Sysvol
of the 2008 server, I then built a 2012 R2 server to become the new live server. I setup replication to the new 2012 server using data collection from the 2008 to get a copy of the data across ready to switch.
Again, users can only access the 2008 server the 2012 is not shared. Yet after initial replication completed I started to get 4412 events stating files had been changed on multiple servers. I don't understand how this is possible when server is not accessible.
Then files began to disappear.
All the files logged as in conflict are Excel files that are being accessed by multiple users on the 2008 server. Sometimes it's OK. Sometimes the conflict removes the file from both servers and places it in the Conflict and Deleted. I am replicating the
lock files even though only one copy of the data is available to users.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?
Cheers
Mart

Apologies didn't explain it very clearly. The 2003 server is removed. So the DFS is pointed to a single folder target, the 2008 server.
I set up the 2012 in a replication group to collect data from the 2008 server. Eventually I intend to point the folder target to the 2012 and only the 2012 but after initial replication I started to get the problem.
Currently, even though the DFS has only one folder target on the 2008 server, I'm getting 4412 in event viewer on both servers telling me files have changed on more than one server. I don't understand how that's happening as the copy on the 2008
server is the only one that is shared and targeted for users to access. Also there are only these two servers in the replication group.
Hope that is clearer.

Issue with .cp file being deleted automatically!

My content team has complained about entire .cp files being
deleted without them deleting it and not being in their recycle
folder etc (3 different complaints). They couldn’t find them
anywhere, including the recent project list in the captivate
dashboard when you first open it. I was skeptical when they told me
this until this evening when it happened to me. This is a HUGE
issue, especially considering I have spent 10hrs on this file and
just published it to production and now it needs to be redone.
I checked with my developers to confirm it was the same
circumstances as mine and it is. It seems to occur if you are
closing a project and while it is closing, if you happen to be in
Windows Explorer with the closing .cp file name highlighted in the
folder. It disappears! I watched it with my own eyes. I checked my
recycle bin and it is not there. I checked the recent project pane
and it is not available for me to select.
Has anyone else seen this? If you haven’t, make sure
you do not do the above to make it happen!

Approx 700 Files being deleted from file server (server 2003) without permission

Hello,
We had a problem with files being deleted from our file server.
We lost approx. 700 files across approx. 40 directories from the file date codes between Nov. 30 2014 and Dec 3, 2014. All files before this date were not touch.
Our Dec. 1 backup had all of the files. Our Dec. 5 backup only have files before Sept. 1 2014 and after Dec. 3, 2014.
My question is how can this happen without going to each directory and sorted my date cade and delecting files from this date range.
Does anyone have any other ideals on how this could of happen?
Thank You
Bert

Shared Excel Files Problem in Leopard

I have a large number of files I want to share with another user under leopard on one computer so we can each read and write them. I have tried to use the "shared" folder feature under "users." However, Excel seems to have a problem with this even when r/w permissions are given to the other user. I get hints from Internet searches that Excel uses some hidden OS X files in those shared folders and the permissions are somehow not acceptable. Is there a fix other than just using the root as a place for a share directory for the files?

Here is further information. While I can share the Excel files if they are directly on the root, I cannot if the file is even in one level of file folder on the root. It seems to have to do with just having Excel files in a folder and not just if the folder is in the "shared" area or not. I am not finding anything on a web search and Apple Care has thrown up their hands just saying "its and Microsoft issue!" Could it be that there is some hidden file created that (even the .DS_Store file) that is causing the problem? How do I delete that file just to try it?

hello Experts,
I have written a program where the data from DSO is downloaded into Excel File which is being saved on my desktop.
Now, i am facing one problem with the length of header and the values.
For eg:
I have 15 cloumns and i have given description for each column ie header name. This header is being displayed only upto 255 characters. If the total length of all the columns header desc exceeds 255 char, then blank header is displayed further.
Same is the case with the values of the columns.
I am pasting the relevant code.

Why are my files being deleted?

I have an interesting problem and this is the second time it has happened in 2 months.
I have a mac mini server running mountain lion server with a disk partition where our client folders are stored. This partition is then shared across the network via file sharing.
Last Friday, a number of folders from this shared partition were deleted, alphabetically (about 4-5Gb of info) - about 6 client folders. The last time date I have is 5.09pm on the last top most folder that had items deleted. A Retrospect backup then started 5.13pm. (These may be unrelated). We were still working on some of these files around 3pm.
So sometime between 3pm and 5.13pm these files disappeared.
There were only 2 of us and one of us accidently deleting so many files seems unlikely.
This happened once before but only a few client folders were deleted.
I have done the following:
1. Scanned for viruses
2. Run recovery for deleted files
and found nothing, it is like they never were there.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
This one has left me bamboozled.

Nevermind. Audible was helpful. Once I tried to play one Audible book in iTunes, I was asked to authorize it, which then authorized all of them. The problem seemed to have been caused by changing computers. Apparently the authorization didn't move with me.
I still think it's confusing to have the Deauthorize Audible menu choice without an Authorize Audible choice.

Despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .

everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

Render files being deleted by app

I have several different sequences in a project. Whenever I try to render all the remaining unrendered sections of video in a given sequence, it completes the render and then deletes a previous render file, causing previously rendered shots in the sequence to suddenly become unrendered in the timeline.

Jerry Hofmann wrote:
What your experiencing, isn't normal at all, whether on a PPC or an intel machine. I've both running FCP 6.06 and don't see this behavior... So it's not a bug or I'd see it here, right? My guts say that there's something wrong with your basic setup.
How is a bug normal anyway? Why should you see the same bug as I? What if I regularly use a filter that you don't use? Do you regularly use SmoothCam?
Aahh, the $64,000 question. Yes, I admit, I've been witholding this critical piece of information. My apologies. A very dumb oversight. Most and possibly all of the shots that lose their render files are using the SmoothCam filter. But it still seems random in that other shots using that filter do not unrender. It could have something to do with using more than one instance of different parts of the same shot, all of which has been analysed. So perhaps it's a SmoothCam bug.
If the drives are formatted OS Mac Extended, and you're running the latest versions of QuickTime and OS you running, what's left to look into is the actual condition of your installation. If you've not done a clean install in a while it's likely what would fix you up.
Having said all that, yes of course, I've been seriously considering reinstalling. I just couldn't face it, especially since I did finally come up with a workaround that mostly solved the problem, even if it was a bit crazy (as many workarounds are).
There are no settings which would affect this at all either... so it's either hardware or software, and it's far more likely software as long as the drives are formatted for a Mac...
Yeah it's a pretty standard set up. All the media drives are extended with journaling turned off. I've tried using different drives as render drives and it doesn't make any difference. And it is gratifying to hear you say it's not a settings issue. I thought the same thing but I didn't trust my own opinion about that, so I was going to try it. Still might. But if all else fails it's a new installation and I'll let you know the result.
Cheers!

File being deleted from Creative Cloud folder

Creative Cloud just deleted a file from my CC folder on my mac. The desktop application gave me a notification saying that a file had just been deleted. I did not delete it, and I'm unusure about what went wrong.
I tried to contact the custumer support chat, but the guy didn't really know what he was doing. What can i do?

I had similar problems with Google Drive about a year ago. It had to do with a very large folder, over 100Gb. The problem as I saw it was some sort of delay in a delete comand when I moved the file. It was ricocheting through the system somehow. Each time I tried to re-synch my folder, the command would send from the cloud to delete the local folder. What I noticed was that when I went into the on-line trash folder on Google Drive, some of the files were there, but not all of them. I would restore what was there, then come back later, and more would appear. Rinse, repeat.
My Google Drive hasn't acted up since then. They instituted a policy to have a pop up confirmation appear before deleting local files. My advise is to keep large files off the cc until Adobe catches up.

Excel files deleted when not found

I am using the Report Generation toolkit for Microsoft Office. I have a vi that opens a template, renmaes it, saves it, and writes to an Excel file. The file is then saved again before the vi exits.
The problem is if the Excel file is accidently closed, then the vi closes and tries to save the excel file, it deletes the file that was saved. This seems to happen in the NI_Excel.lvclassave Report to File.vi, and comes up with error -2147417848 The first three case structures are false, which leads to the close and delete file subvis. I thought I could get remove the delete file vi, but I can not rename the subvi (...save report to file) to do this. This problem is causing me to lose product data.
How can I either make a copy of the sub vi, or prevent the subvi from deleteing the file if the file is not open?
metzler CLAD

Hi metzler,
According to this KnowledgeBase Article: Close Microsoft Excel While Running Report Generation Toolkit it is recommended programming practice to catch and handle the resulting error if the user attempts to quit Microsoft Excel mid-execution. In no way will NI recommend editing its shipping VIs.
I hope this helps!

Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;)

CSV files to a single excel file

Hi All!
I would like to ask regarding the conversion of CSV files into a single Excel file.
I am planning to combine all my 8 csv files into a single excel file being separted by sheets. each csv file will be converted in to a worksheet and be added to the excel workbook file.
Any idea? I've heard about POI but i don't see any documentation for java beginners and simple example program that will convert CSV --> Worksheet and add that worksheet to an excel file.
Thanx,

Thank you. Chandu Kerai

Sorry, it's my my fault. Please try to perform the basic throubleshooting steps for Excel which lists in the link below and check if the issue still persists.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
Most of steps have been mentioned by
Keith Ruck in the first reply but you may try the rest.
Review the event log from your initial post and the error message is general. We need to use some tool like Process Monitor for further tracking that and analyze deeply.
For the crash/hangs issue, use ADPlus.vbs to have a try.

How do repair Excel file?

Microsoft autorepair function didn’t rescue my Excel file. What other xls repair tool exists for a recovering lost worksheets?

When a Microsoft Excel file is corrupt or damaged, then you can try several methods to repair and recover data from it:
1. First of all, try to repair the corrupt file manually. Follow below steps:
A. On the File menu, click Open.
B. In the Open dialog box, select the file that you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
C. Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.
Check-out below article for more information at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repair-a-corrupted-workbook-HA102749554.aspx?CTT=1 (for MS Excel
2013)
2. since MS Excel 2003, it provides a "Document Recovery" mechanism so that when Excel is shutdown abnormally, the Excel file being edited will be recovered when Excel is launched next time, which makes the file recovery possible.
Read below article for more details:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/recover-your-office-files-HP010354299.aspx?CTT=1
3. If method 1 and 2 do not work, then you may try 3rd party Microsoft certified tools such as Stellar Phoenix Excel Repair at
http://www.stellarinfo.com/excel-recovery.htm
Software is available as both free demo & full user license versions. You can try demo version to see the preview of your file.
Good Luck!!!

Excel file deletes from Shared location
