Storage Manager and Windows 2012 Deduplication

Does anyone have Storage Manager working with the deduplicated volumes in Windows 2012? It works fine on 2012 itself, but when I attempt to move data to or from a deduplicated volume I get the following error:
182: the requested operation is not supported.
The error seems pretty self explanatory. But I'm really hoping there's a way to get it working. We're planning to do a complete teardown and rebuild of our storage and this could be a deal breaker for whether we use Storage Manager at all to manage user data.

scunha,
Could you send an email to [email protected] explaining what
you're doing and providing some details of your deduplication settings?
We'd like to look at this in more detail.

RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

Greetings all,
I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
- but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
Thanks in advance.
Terry.

Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service eating memory

Hi
I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.

Hi
I have 6GB of memory.
When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful.

Can you post your switch config?
How many switches do you have? Presumably you have more than one, this one is connected to others, and those others have servers and clients?
Try doing a 'show arp' on the switch and comparing the IPs and MACs to your windows server. Do it a few times as it may change as each device using the IP sends packets.

SCM update for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
When are we likely to get an update to SCM for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2?

Hi
you must add these lines in ZTIGpoPack.wsf (for MDT) and LocalGPO.wsf (for LocalGPO), and for MDT 2013, copy ZTIGpopack to Deploymentshrare\Scripts
sOSVersion = oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion")
            If (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS") then
                    sOS = "WS2012R2"
                    oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows Server 2012 R2 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
            ElseIf (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and Not(oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS")) then
                    sOS = "Win81"
                oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows 8.1 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
Regards
Thanks for this, but you also need to update the GPOPack.wsf in (each relevant) template folder of the Deployment Share like this:
        If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType <> "1") then
    strOS = "WS12R2"
        ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType = "1") then
    strOS = "Win81"
        ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then
    strOS = "WS12"
        ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType = "1") then
    strOS = "Win8"
As ZTIApplyGPOPack calls GPOPack.wsf.
(Which is what I think Scorpio92 probably meant when you said to edit LocalGPO.wsf...)

Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install.
Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess. If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
I don't know why this is still going on. It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver. This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

Horizon View 6.1 and Windows 2012 as Desktop OS

Hi Community,
we are currently running a PoC for Horizion View 6.1. Various reasons require to use Windows Server 2012 r2 as guest os, afeature which should exist in 6.1 according the release notes.
When trying to create a linked clone pool with a windows 2012 template we get the message that the guest os is not supported. I know that we only have a 2012 Standard Edition for the PoC but would have DC Edition once we decide to go forward with the solution.
How des View check the edition of the template and is there any possibility to get this working since we need to move on with the poc?
Thanks an kind regards,

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?

I need removable storage management on windows 7

I need to use NT backup on windows 7 machines, there is an NT backup utility from MS that I have downloaded but I need removable storage management to install the download(RSM). RSM is not available on Windows 7 and I need to know if there is a way

Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?

Hi,
We have a Windows 2012 R2 server. It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode. We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
2012 R2 server to do something else. Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose? If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
Thanks,
Tak

Hi Tak,
Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly.
If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
However, backup important files is always recommended.

running on
server 'A' and RIP pool manager and the infrastructure master running on server B. DC's A and B is running in site London and the windows 2012 DC I am planning to install is in
US. I have a
vpn tunnel between london and the US office.
In US office one of the branch
office i have a DC 'C' which is already replicating to DC 'A' in
london. The DC 'D' i am planning to install is for my disaster recovery office in the US. (DR for the US office)
While adding the 2012 server as an additional domain controller, I am getting the below error message,

Slow printing on windows 2008 std, R2 and windows 2012

Hi All,
I have a print server which is configured on windows 2008 R2. We are experiencing slow printing when printing directly from the server or from a client through the server. Small sized files prints fast, anything which has image takes a long time. All the
printers in our organization are Xerox Colorqube 9303. When installed the driver directly on to windows 7 32 bit PC, it prints without any delay. Also, when prints from the server a 2 MB file becomes 15 MB or more while sending. We have tried PCL6 and PS drivers.
To replicate it, i have installed a windows 2012 server ended up with the same result. Installed windows 2008 standard 32 bit with SP2 and the result remains same. Also tried it on windows 8, 64 bit without any luck. So effectively, it works fine only when
directly installed on a windows 7 PC. I have disabled all three: disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning .
After shooting the print, if you observe the printer properties, it sends data at a very low rate which results a 10 MB documents prints take around 10 minutes. At the same time, file copying from the server to and fro is working normally. All these servers
are directly connected to the cisco 6509 core switch. All the above tests were performed on the same physical switch. The server and clients are on the same network (subnet).
Have anybody come across to a similar issue. Any useful suggestions would deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Prince Mathew

Hi Prince Mathew,
Based on your description, this issue seems that it’s related to this specific model printer (Xerox
colorqube 9303). Please install the latest version of the driver and the firmware from Xerox website, and then check if this issue still exists.
If it still persists, please clear Printer Spooler Files and enable the Spooler Service again.
For details, please refer to.
1. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. In Services list, please double click "Printer Spooler". Then click
Stop, and then click OK.
3. Please locate to: "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", delete all files in this folder.
4. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks). In Services list, double click
"Printer Spooler". Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
Then check if this issue can be solved.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

DHCP Failover in Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 Environment

Hi Everyone,
We are trying to implement DHCP failover in our environment. Our IT Infrastructure consists of 4 – windows server 2008 R2 servers and 7 – Windows Server 2012 servers; 1 Main Office with 2 – DC’s and 9 branch/remote offices with one DNS server in every remote
office. All the DNS servers have 2 scopes defined on them for VOICE and Data with different Subnets.
What would be the best method to implement failover in 2008 R2 – Windows Failover Cluster or Split scope? And how to implement DHCP Failover in Windows Server 2012 R2?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you for your help!
-kN

Hi,
if you can choose between 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 than go with 2012 R2 it is easy to create a DHCP failover there. Actually that is one of the new features of Windows 2012.
With Server 2012 you setup your fist DHCP server with the scopes you want to setup. Than you install the second 2012 server with DHCP role and authorized. If you have done this you going back to your first server, where you already configured your scopes.
Now right click onto the scope you want to setup for failover and select 'Configure Failover'. You can than set it up as kind of split scope (Load balance Mode) or as real fail over setup (Hot Standby). In Load balance Mode you can configure the balance of
IP addresses between the both servers, like primary has 60% IP addresses and secondary has 40%.
With Server 2008 R2 the easiest configuration is split scope. But here it depends how many IP leases you will max have and if you can absorb if one of the server is going down. Lets say you have 50 DHCP leases max, than sure, set it up as split scope. But
if you have 200 DHCP clients, than I would go with failover cluster. At the end it depends on your environment.

Same CAS Array Exchange 2010 (HLB), with OS Windows 2008R2 and Windows 2012.

Hello,
We have a 10 node DAG (Exchange 2010 SP3, Windows 2008 R2), with 2 CasArray.
We are planning to add news (multirole) servers and create a new DAG (Exchange 2010 SP3, Windows 2012) in this infra, in the same AD site, to migrate all mailbox from the other DAG (Migration from virtual servers to physical servers).
So we use the same CasArray (HLB, with F5) with différent OS version, during the migration time (1 month or more). I haven't found anything that say it's not supported or can be problematic.
Have you feedback or advice?
Thanks,
Sébastien

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no need to deploy a CAS array with CAS servers running on the same Window version. The version can be different.
After a Client Access server array is defined within an Active Directory site, all Client Access servers within that Active Directory site are automatically part of the Client Access server array.
