Unable To Create and/or Rename Folders on DFS Shares

Hi
We have a Windows 2008 Storage Server that we use as a data server. About 100 folders are shared on our network and we use DFS to collect these shares into manageable shared units.
The network comprises 35 Windows 7 clients and one Vista client and a couple of XP machines. These are on a Windows Active Directory that presently comprises three domain controllers: 2003, 2008 and 2012 R2. The network comprises just one site and one subnet.
This setup has worked fine for many years (we've had an Active Directory domain since 2001).
As soon as I replaced our Windows XP clients with the Windows 7 clients I have been seeing some strange network issues.
The most bizarre, and the most unwelcome is that when staff try to create new folders or rename existing ones they will sometimes not be allowed to. The problem is intermittent and I have no idea what may be causing it.
The folder rename issue was encountered when we still used XP but I fixed that by disabling the caching of thumbnails. The error message that appears states the folder is in use. I have used Computer Management on the storage server and looked at Shared
Folders > Open Files and have determined that no files were open when this issue occurred.
When staff are unable to create a new folder they see the following message:
I have tried various things to troubleshoot this with the help of a TechNet Community Support person in the Windows 7 forums
here.
To summarise we have tried using Process Monitor to capture the events and I am quite happy to upload this if anyone would like to see it.
We tried the registry edits detailed in
this MS article.
I have created a dedicated firewall rule that allows all traffic on TCP ports 137, 138, 139 and 445.
Another respondent suggested checking out Slow-Link mode but this has not been triggered.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this, please? The network worked like a dream before the Windows 7 clients were introduced, when XP was used.
Thanks!

Hi,
As you just upgarded to Windows 7, please make sure SP1 is also installed on all systems and install the following hotfix rollup for Windows 7 SP1:
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us
There was a known issue on Windows 7 which affected shared folders, that newly created or deleted files are not reflect in network folder immediately, which seems similar to your error. If issue still exists after SP1 and hotfix rollup please help confirm:
1. If this issue occurs only on DFS folder in accessing with \\domain.com\namespace. Could you reproduce the same issue in accessing \\server\sharefolder?
2. Will the same issue occurs after disabling Offline Files if it is enabled.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Users with Owner rights are unable to create or delete sub-folders in folders they have appropriate permissions

Migration from 2007 to 2013 cu1 and then updated to 2013cu2v2. The issue i am seeing is any user that has owner rights cannot delete or create subfolders under any public folder on which they are set as owner. I have attempted to remove and readd users
permissions but still doesnt allow them to create or delete. Further troubleshooting has revealed if i create a new top level folder and then assign the users DefaultPublicFolderMailbox to the primary public folder mailbox then they are able to create and
delete subfolders. Has anyone else run across this. Right now the only way i can get around this is to create folders and delete folders for users in the ECP.

I think I found the solution for this.
When migration is finished and PublicFolder is 'assigned' to the mailbox databases/users, it is assigned random.
In my case, I had 11 different Public Folder mailboxes witch the PBF is distributed over.
Users was assigned 'random' default public folder mailbox. As long as the default PBF mailbox ISNT the top-level mailbox (witch in my case was PBF1), these random issues occured.
When I assigned the top-level Public Folder Mailbox as the Default Public Folder Mailbox, the issue was resolved.
TLDR; Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -defaultpublicfoldermailbox <top-level PBF mailbox>

Cannot rename folders in SMB share using Column view

I connect to an Ubuntu SMB server and files and folder access worked perfectly under 10.5.8.
I upgraded to Snow Leopard and a curious thing happends. I set CHMOD of the main folder to 777. I can create and rename folders in this first level but if I am in column view, I can create a folder (untitled folder) but can't rename it.
If I move to icon or list view, I can create folders levels deep. It took me a day to work out what was wrong!

Same issue here. Can't rename a folder on Samba-share with Finder. Doesn't matter which view.

FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE GENERIC

I raised the Samba loglevel, and noticed an increase of the file 'nobody.log'. This is strange, because I am logged in and accessing a private file.
My Mac is named 'mrcmini'. Samba logs to 'nobody.log':

Rename folders in SMB shares

Hello,
as different threads already proved
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2139840?start=0&tstart=0
there is a bug in 10.6.x where folders in SMB shares (linux but also Windows servers) cannot be renamed (Finder, Terminal, ...).
Since the bug was not present in 10.5.x, I wonder whether it is still there in 10.7.x.
Could someone please check?
Thank you

Have you seen this? <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5477749>

How do I create and activate watched folders in Acrobat Pro XI?

Our court reporting firm scans large amounts of client exhibits and would love to set up watched folders to convert images to text files. I know that former versions of Acrobat had separate versions of distiller. What's the story in Pro XI. What is the recommended way to set up watched folders, if there is one?

As with previous versions Acrobat XI comes with Distiller. As with the previous version the use features of Distiller are the same.
Do note that Distiller only accepts *.PS files as input for creation of PDF.
All scanners initial output is an image file fromat (not *.ps). Other applications take the JPEG, TIFF, etc and process the image into other file formats (e.g., PDF).
Be well...

Unable to create and configure Domain in CMS

Hi,
I have created product and software components and i have defined the usage dependencies also.
After that while creating domain in CMS I am getting the following error
*SLD (URL http://pwdf3065:50000) server exception: User credentials are invalid or user is denied access*
Please help me folks...
Thanks

1. Check if you have NWDI.Administrator Role
2. Make sure either NWDI.Admin or you have lcr.administrator role.
lcr admin is for updating SLD.
Is your SLD on a different server than NWDI?

Users unable to create or delete folders in migrated public folders using Outlook

We have an Exchange 2013 CU3 environment migrated from Exchange 2007.
The public folder migration was completed over the weekend.
The environment has several public folder mailboxes.
Post migration users are unable to create/delete new sub folders, or modify permissions using Outlook on any of the migrated public folders. Users can however create new top level folders using outlook. They can also create and delete new posts
in migrated public folders.
Admins are able to create folders and set permissions on migrated folders using the EAC.
Test User accounts used for testing are set to use the Primary Hierarchy mailbox as their default public folder mailbox.
Test Users have been given Owner permissions from the root down on the folders we are testing with.
We have tested with Outlook 2010 and 2013 getting the same "Cannot create the folder" error.

Further testing
We moved a top level folder from a secondary PF mailbox to the primary PF mailbox using the New-PublicFolderMoveRequest command in powershell.
After the move completed we could create new folders under the moved top level folder.
The top level folder that was moved had it's own sub-folders that we did not move to the primary mailbox. (We didn't move the whole branch.. Just the top level folder)
We still cannot create or modify the existing sub-folders after moving the top level folder.
We then moved the newly created sub-folder to a secondary PF mailbox.
At that point we could no longer create sub-folders in the folder form outlook.
From what I can tell you can only create new sub-folders in folders homed to the primary PF mailbox when using outlook.
Is this a bug or as designed?
According to this Tech ed presentation Clients connecting to a secondary PF mailbox should have folder changes proxy to the primary PF mailbox.. (See slide 10)
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/OUC-B329#fbid=
Update : 2-5-2014
Not much new to report other than it appears that users need to be homed to the primary PF mailbox to delete calendar meetings.
Opened a ticket with Premier support.
Update 2-11-2014
Premier support continues to look into the issue. No ideas as to the cause yet.
2-24-13
Still no resolution from support or even a clue what is causing this.

Can't rename folders on Snow Leopard Server

I have 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running on a new Mac Mini server. Attached I have a Pegasus Raid storing all my files. I have a sharepoint set up for every project we work on but a couple act strangely. Users can create and delete folders but can not rename them once created. In order to rename they must drag the folder onto the desktop, rename and then replace the folder on the server. All permissions are set up identical to the other sharepoints which work fine. I have had a couple so-called "experts" look at the permissions in both the terminal and Server Admin. Everyone seems stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks for the input but I finally soved the problem. Here is what I found...
Although I had given users/group the ALLOW/FULL CONTROL premission with a sharepoint, I discovered that in Server Admin if you double-click on the User or Group name under the ACL permissions that a drop down box appears. This box allows you to fine tune the ACL but it appears that by default all of the boxes are not checked even though I granted the user Full Control. After checking all of the boxes I was able to create and rename folders in my share as expected.
This also had an similar effect if I denied Full Control. Some of the boxes remained unchecked and it left holes in my system where denied users could still access some files. Again by checking all boxes these holes were closed.
Does anyone know how to change the default so that all boxes are checked when assigning the Full Control permission?

DFS Shares Prepended by DFS SID and No Longer Accessible

Hello,
Environment: We use two dfs servers which replicate all namespaces and dfs folders between each other.
There are two namespaces: Data and Users. First server (DC12) has referrals enabled the second server (DC07) has referrals disabled.
This is globally configured across all namespaces and dfs folders.
Both servers are Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 OS. Other roles on these servers include AD DS, DNS, and DHCP.
Issue: Within the Data namespace windows explorer location on DC12 (D:\Data\) the folder structure was mysteriously changed for all (9) dfs folders.
Dfs folders had “DFS.<DFS SID>” prepended to their folder names and are now no longer accessible.
For example: folder previously named “Accounts Receivable” were renamed to “DFS.8c654b7d-0246-4389-ab00-2b1b7027626fAccounts Receivable” within explorer, but are named "Accounts Receivable" within DFS Management.
Additionally, there was another, empty dfs folder created in D:\Data\ called “Accounts Receivable”, but when we try to access it from either D:\Data\ or through \\namespace\data we get an error “Location is not available: The network location cannot
be reached.”
Background: Our server switch died and replication between DC12 and DC07 was interrupted for about 90 minutes.
We replaced the switch and the environment came back online.
When testing to confirm network, resource, and LOB functionality, we discovered this issue and have been thus far unsuccessful in resolving.

The DFS Replication service stopped replication on the replicated folder at local path D:\Data\Lab Tech.

Troubleshooting Steps Done So Far:
Restarted DFS Namespace (Dfs), DFS Replication (DFSR), and Netlogon services on both DC12 and DC07
Renaming folders - folders don't exist error
Restarted DC12 and DC07
This issue is ONLY isolated to DC12 and ONLY the Data namespace. DC07 and Users namespace works just fine.
We ended up having to disable DC12 as a referral target and in replication so that clients were pointing to DC07.
I’m hoping that I won’t have to rebuild the Data namespace because it’s massive.
Hoping for some guidance on troubleshooting. Thanks for your time.

Hi,
As currently the DC07 is still working, a new initial replication should help in this situation. Please try the steps below:
1. Stop the DFSR service on the server that is logging the 4004 event.
2. Navigate to the root of the DFSR folder.
3. Depending on OS, you may need to take ownership of the "System Volume Information" folder and grant yourself permissions (FULL) on the folder.
4. Navigate to :\System Volume Information\DFSR\
5. Rename Database_GUID folder to Olddatabase_GUID
NOTE: For Windows Server 2008 R2 you will need to do this from an elevated command prompt, otherwise any changes made to items in this folder will get reversed by system. You can use command line: ren Database_GUID Olddatabase_GUID
6. Start the DFSR service. You should see an Event ID 2102 in the DFSR event log indicating the database is being recreated, and then an Event ID 2106 indicated it has been successfully recreated.
You can then monitor progress by checking the state of the replicated folder using WMIC command and backlog using dfsrdiag command:
Wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrreplicatedfolderinfo get replicationgroupname,replicatedfoldername,state
The "State" values can be:
0 = Uninitialized
1 = Initialized
2 = Initial Sync
3 = Auto Recovery
4 = Normal
5 = In Error
And:

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads?

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads? I have 23 iPads and I want to have all the folders match for easier access for students.

Here is a possibkle workaround, assuming the iPads are all starting out with the same initial content on them:
Backup that iPad to each computer you will be using. Then restore from the backup (only takes a couple minutes). Then rename the other 22 iPads.

Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders

Hi,
We are getting this error while trying to create new folder in UCM (even trying directly from UCM throws same error)
oracle.stellent.ridc.protocol.ServiceException: Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders
Has anyone experienced this? If yes, please let us know how you resolved it.
Thanks!

You don't "store" anything in contribution folders. They are just webdav access points. I recommend zero folders personally.
If you want to upload files using webdav, then I suggest using one staging folder, where files can enter the system. When the document is workflowed and/or verified, it is moved out of the folder. It's more likely however that you'll need a few access points for various types of content as each folder enforces specific metadata.
Now I imagine you are after a way to store all the HR bits and pieces of one person together as a unit. Some people use Content Folios. Personally, I'd just use a metadata field that contains the ContentID of the person's master record. Any new content for that person just gets the master ContentID stamped on it. Just search for that ContentID to get all their stuff.
Regarding best practices, there are lots of quality blogs floating around. Stellent/Oracle don't talk about best practice because each system is used by their clients in a unique way... well, that's what they say.

Droplet to Rename Folders and Files

I am an AS newbie and I need some help. Our accounting software creates a folder structure on our server when a job is created with a 6 digit job number. Enclosed in this folder is a set of sub-folders which are generated with a generic name: 0000_Art, 0000_Final, 0000_Fonts etc. It also places a generic rtf file named 0000_Readme. When work begins on a job we currently have to replace the "0000" with the last four digits of the job number: "140662" = "0662_Art" etc.
I found a script to do this with some manual intervention but wanted to take this one step further by creating a droplet and making it drag and drop. This droplet works, but the problem comes in that it still wants you to choose the target folder from a dialog and I would like to just auto process the dropped folder and it's contents. Also, is there a way to tell AS to use characters 3-6 of the dropped folder's name to replace any instances of "0000" in sub-folder or document names enclosed? Is there any uneccessary code which can be stripped out?
Here is the script as it stands now:
on open of finderObjects
set the source_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Folder containing items to edit:") as Unicode text
display dialog "Search and replace in:" buttons {"File Names", "Folder Names", "Both"} default button 3
set the search_parameter to the button returned of the result
repeat
display dialog "Enter text to find in the item names:" default answer "0000" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
set the search_string to the text returned of the result
if the search_string is not "" then exit repeat
end repeat
repeat
display dialog "Enter replacement text:" default answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
set the replacement_string to the text returned of the result
if the replacement_string contains ":" then
beep
display dialog "A file or folder name cannot contain a colon (:)." buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
else if the replacement_string contains "/" then
beep
display dialog "A file or folder name cannot contain a forward slash (/)." buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
display dialog "Replace “" & the search_string & "” with “" & the replacement_string & "” in every item name?" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2

Hi lunarlandr and welcome to Apple Discussions!
Without going through the script in detail, there's a lot that can be stripped out, and a few goodies that can be added.
Droplets work best when iterating through lists (even one-item lists) of Finder items. As a brief example:
on open (these_objects)
repeat with each_object in these_objects
--do something with each object in turn
end repeat
end open
You need to remove the line beginning "choose folder" and let each_object become your source folder.
The code below is rough and may need some amendment, but it should answer most of your questions. Test it and see.
--begin script
on run
display dialog "I'm a droplet! Drop things on me!" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon note
--although you could incorporate a choose folder here
end run
on open (these_objects) -- a list of aliases
repeat with each_object in these_objects
set item_info to info for each_item
set folder_contents to (list folder item_info)
if kind of item_info is "Folder" and folder_contents contains "0000_Readme" then -- only process job folders
set job_number to text 3 thru 6 of name of item_info
process (eachobject,jobnumber)
else --not a job folder
display dialog "I only work with proper job folders." buttons {"OK"} with icon note giving up after 3 -- move on to next item in list
end if
end open
on process (topfolder,jobnumber)
tell application "Finder"
set folder_contents to every item of top_folder
repeat with each_item in folder_contents
set generic_name to name of each_item
if generic_name begins with "0000_" then
set name of each_item to job_number & text 5 thru -1 of generic_name --everything from the underscore to the end
end if
end repeat
end tell
end process
--end script
The droplet will process multiple folders with different job numbers, without any user interaction. The name of the internal files and folders is derived from the name of the dropped folder.
Hope it helps,
(Although I don't see why the accounting software shouldn't do all of this for you...)

Hello,
Add me to the list.
Tonight, the finder crashed during an iDisk operation.
I had to manually turned off the mac.
On the restart, Snow leopard decided to index spotlight for like an hour!
I suspected things so I went into the console, and yes I get all these "MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/..." for nearly each app I launch.
Any ideas?? I've been reading your thread, and couldn't find any relevant in google too.
It doesn't seem to affect the use of the mac, but it's still strange! (there's a part of me that wanna clean reinstall right now! I just hate now that i know that something might not be working like it should! haha)
Any idea an help very welcome.
J

I am unable to create new folders 10.8.6

Today I am unable to create new folders on my internal drive. I changed all the permissions for the applications with "get info" and unlocking plus selecting read and write for all three categories of users. My home office is shut down.
HELP!

reset home folder permissions
1. Boot OS X Recovery by restarting the computer while holding the Command (⌘) and R keys.
2. When the Repair Utilities screen appears, select Utilities from the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and press Return.
4. The password reset utility window will appear. Do not select a new password.
Instead, click on the icon for your Mac's hard disk at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
5. At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button. Repeat for each User account with the problem.
The reset process may take a couple of minutes. When it finishes quit the programs and restart your Mac.
Depending on exactly what you did to your Mac's permissions the above may not help. If it does not, read and follow Apple Support Communities contributor Niel's User Tip: kmosx: I accidentally set a disk's permissions to No Access
