SYSTEM WRITER MISSING WIN SERVER 2012

Hi,
I have installed win server 2012. On that server i have sql 2012 and sharepoint 2013. After a while my windows server backup stops working and system writer is missing now. I found that problem might be in subfolders in MICROSOFT.NET folder. It has more
than 1000 subfolders in GAC_MSIL folder. Is this really true that system writer can't enumerate more than 1000 folders and that I cant have sharepoint 2013 and sql server 2012 installed on same server. Is there a solution which can fix this or I can have all
of that on one server?
Hope that someone can help with this.

It seems to be a known issue, some other Technet forum users have experienced the same problem.
Check this post and see the solution.
Missing VSS System Writer and CAPI2 error in Event Log
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/4458947a-623e-45c1-b8e4-868aad1e93b0
I've got this problem about a month ago. I refer to MSP.
The problem was caused due to stack full. When we list system writer using “vssadmin list writers”, it will go through all the system files. To do that, the OS use a  search algorithm with a stack which has a size limitation of 1000. When the stack
was full, it failed to continue listing files and log an event in the application event log.
In my case, the following folder contains too many subdirectory and caused the problem.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\*
1. Open C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Web.config
2. Add tempDirectory attribute to compilation tag. For example:
< compilation tempDirectory="c:\ASPTEMP">
And also grant the folder with the same privilege with as “C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files”.
3. Restart the IIS Service.
4. Backup and delete all files under “C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files”.
5. restart the Cryptographic Service.
6. Try “vssadmin list writers” again.
Hopes this brings idea for you to solve it.

  • How can I create a Pooled VDI infraestructure using Win server 2012 as VM image?

    Hello
    I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM instead. 
    Am I overlooking something?  Should I need to prepare the image in a different way? (Sysprep differently?)
    Thanks

    Dear Ryan
    I think the point is other than committing a breach of licensing.  I have a legitimate need to use a pooled server system, which incidentally is not going to be end user.
    The "economy" of the proposed structure can make a more efficient use of the equipment.
    This is an excerpt of the MS VDI Q&A:
    Do I need to pay for Windows VDA if I use Windows Server as a client operating system in my virtual machine?
    OR
    I’ve heard that I can avoid paying for Windows VDA by using Windows Server as my VDI desktop OS. Is this true?
    Running a Windows Server®
    OS as the desktop in the datacenter does not require Windows VDA, but there are many reasons why a server OS should not be used as a desktop, especially in the datacenter:
    The user experience with servers as the desktop is very different from using a Windows client.
    Many applications for end users were written for a client OS and not a server OS. Each of your applications would need to be retested to ensure compatibility with a server OS. Additionally, most vendors
    do not offer support for client applications running on servers.
    Clients and servers are on different patch cycles, adding to management complexity.
    Most of the VDI ecosystem will support the Windows client in the datacenter, not server OS’s.
    However, if you do decide to run a server OS as the desktop, please note that you will need to pay a Remote Desktop Services Client Access License (RDS-CAL) to correctly license that scenario.

  • Vpn connection from administration win server 2012 r2

    hello every one i have win server 2012 for the connection vpn i need make setting as like subnetwork get access to the from main office to the district office?

    Hi,
    Can you ping normally to other server from your server 2012 R2?
    Does user has enough permission for remoting?
    Can you telnet port 3389 and see whether RDP port is opened?
    Please try to perform remote desktop with “mstsc /admin” switch and check the result. Addition try to perform the remote session with IP address specified for that server. Also you can try PowerShell command to enable remote desktop.
    set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0 
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Can you specify the error which you are facing during VDI setup for server 2012?
    I might think that you need to check the memory setting for server 2012, as might happens that due to less memory you can’t setup the VDI setup properly. 
    Memory: If the Master VM is configured with static memory, it must have at least 1024 MB as startup RAM. If the Master VM is configured with dynamic memory, the maximum RAM must be at least 1024 MB.

  • Win Server 2012 Failover Cluster - Error: Failed to bring cluster disk online

    Hi Technet
    I'm currently running running 2 VMs Win Server 2012 and would like to test Failover Clustering for one of our FTP server

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    Hi jsibeko,
    Since the VMware offer the MSCS shared storage solution themselves, I suggest you first ask VMware whether that shared storage is supported with your vSphere edition, I found
    some VMware KB about the VMware shared storage for MSCS, may you can get more tips.
    The VMware KB:
    Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: Guidelines for supported configurations (1037959)
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1037959

  • Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Cluster

    Hi,
    Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV's? Can't find a clear answer somewhere.
    Thanx for helping me out.
    DJITS.

    Configure CSV backups
    If you are running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 and you’re backing up multiple clusters with DPM, you need to ensure that only one backup uses the same CSV at any one time. To do this, follow the instructions in
    Serialize virtual machine backups.
    If you’re using software VSS with Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2, do the following
    Serialize virtual machine backups per node            
    Serialize virtual machine backups per CSV LUN            
    Have a nice day !!!

  • How to Migrate Win Server 2008 to Win Server 2012 if PDC server no longer exist?

    With this being Foundation (less than 15 users) with some problems already, it might be smarter to just start the new server fresh.

    I took over a small business company's network infratructure with Server 2008 Foundation and I would like to migrate to a new Windows Server 2012 r2.The Server 2008 Foundation is a DC with AD / DHCP / DNS / File & Print Server roles. I would like to transfer these roles to the new server with Win Server 2012 r2 std OS. My plan is to join the new server to the old DC, promote it as DC, and transfer roles to it, demote old server and power off.However, there was an older server (Windows 2003) which is no longer in the office and it was the current operations master. The server 2003 was the PDC. When I open AD Domains and Trusts I get this error:"You cannot modify domain or trust info because a PDC emulator cannot be contacted.."Maybe the FSMO roles wasn't transferred over from 2003 to 2008 properly? I don't know.How can I move forward to...

  • How to uninstall win server 2012 R2 (OS) from computer altogether?

    Hi guys, I am trying to remove/ format my hdd that holds my OS which is currently Windows Server 2012 R2. I am having a tough time at it. Are there any suggestions?

    Hi, we have a Win server 2012 R2 (Standard edition, running on a HP Proliant ML350 Gen9), running Active Directory. This machine is also a fileserver. Our files are mostly Word and Excel. We are a carpenter company and many of our carpenters work on customer sites. They often have slow internett connections (mobile broadband). They need to access and update the files on our server. So my question is - what would be the best way to set this up? The connection should of course be secure. It should also be easy to use.
    My thoughts so far is: DirectAccess? The VPN on our ZyWall 110 firewall/router? WebDAV?
