Windows Server 2008 - Advanced Sharing Issues

Hello,
I maintain a small Windows server for a lab on a college campus, and we're currently experiencing some errors when sharing a folder called "students". We're using advanced permissions to share the folder under the network shared name "students".
It worked for months, but now students can no longer access the folder. The permissions are correct, and upon making another share called "students2" (pointing to the same folder on the server with the same permissions), it worked. My question is,
what would cause the original share to be inaccessible (show on the network but deny access) to usergroups that should have access? Thank you for your time, I look forward to your replies.
Gareth

Hi,
I didn’t found the similar issue, base on my experience, that situation may caused by DNS issue, could you try to access the share by the IP address? Please disable all your
AV soft then monitor the status again.
Hope this helps.

Drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HDD issues

Recently I have had the hard drive with my OS fail. After replacing the hard drive and reinstalling windows server 2008 I seem to have run into a few issues with drivers. After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that did not install properly. I was able to get the driver for the LAN port to work but I have not gotten the driver for "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus Controller". After a little research, I believe the video card is a Radeon HD4350. With that information I still have been unable toinstlal the correct drivers for either of these items. I've tried several drivers listed on the drivers support page on HP's website but all fo them return the same error about not finding the correct Operating System. The link to the driver I used originally on my previous installation seems to not be valid any longer.
Also I can't seem to access the two additoinal hard drives (connected by sata). They were used with the previous installation of windows with no issues. They appear in the device manager but do not show up under My Computer. A removeable drive does show up that I'm not sure what it is. Previously I had used software to mirror one of the drives onto the other as to prevent losing data if a drive would fail. Is one of the above drives causing the issue with not being able to access the drives or did the software used before cause the problem?
Any help on these issues is greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.

OK.
I can't help you with the drives then. That is out of my realm of knowledge. If they are marked healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that is all I know that they should be indicated.
As for the graphics driver...
Download and install this free file utility.
http://www.7-zip.org/
After you install 7-zip, right click on the graphics driver file and select 7-zip from the list of options.
Select 7-zip to Extract to: and let it extract the file into a folder. I let it extract to the file name of the folder.
Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.
Of course you will first browse to where 7-zip has extracted the folder to, and proceed from there.

Windows Server 2008 AD & DNS issue

Hi Guys,
I have an Server 2008 ADDS enviroment with this DC-s:
"List of domain controllers with accounts in the domain:
WTEHU001 (powered off)
WTEHU003 (powered off)
ZEUS
MINERVA

The command completed successfully."
When I change from google dns (8.8.8.8) to local DNS address (127.0.0.1) on DNS entries of NIC of Server, I get error messages:
"The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical

Public DNS servers should not be used in IP settings of DCs. You need to configure them as forwarders instead. Also, I would recommend using your ISP DNS servers instead of Google ones.
For the recommendation of IP settings to be used on DCs, please refer to what is written in this Wiki article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx

Windows Server 2008 R2 RDP issue after every reboot/shutdown

If I reboot or shutdown the server and start again, RDP doesn't work. However, if I logon to server physically, strangely it does not give login to domain and once logged on local admin and disable and re-enable network adapter issue is fixed.\Never seen
such issue. Any guesses?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Abhijeet,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late response.
No that Hotfix applies when you are using RDS server. For your case, please check whether you have successful connection to the server by pinging that server. After that check any windows Firewall rule might block the connection. For connecting to server remotely
we must have RDP port 3389 need to open from firewall end. Please verify the above details and also check below article for information.
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?

BO XI 3.1 SP3 Install issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit

We are trying to install the lastest Build of Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a new server with Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit OS (51038908_part1.exe,51038908_part2.rar, 51038908_part3.rar).
The setup never finish! It seems that the setup can't validate the CMS installation and is trying again and again.
In the "Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 - Windows - Supported Platforms" document, the Windows Server 2008 R2 Entreprise 64-bit Edition is supported.
The antivirus is desactivated and the setup.exe file was launched in the administrator mode.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Frederic Wojnarowski on Nov 22, 2010 5:45 PM

We have run into similar issues with that same package (51038908_part1.exe) which is a complete install of "BOE-3.1 package with SP3" for Windows 2008 Server that only installs in the 64-bit mode.
We had a 32-bit Oracle 10g client installed, that BOE did not recognize for the CMS - so the install was hanging at the CMS config...(no clear errors / no simple way to roll-back the failed install).
We only discovered the underlying Oracle issue when we deployed just the CMS with a local MySQL database - and then tried to point the CMS at the Oracle DB instead. It gave us TNS errors even though we could hit the same TNS without issue using SQL-PLUS on the same machine.
This lead us to assume that the 64-bit BOE couldn't connect via the 32-bit Oracle 10g drivers.
We have had trouble installing the 64-bit Oracle 10g client that we downloaded - so are now looking for some advice.
Anyone know which specific 64-bit Oracle 10g client should be used with the cumulative "BOE-3.1 package with SP3" 64-bit package (51038908_part1.exe)...?
I assume that this Oracle client will be used for any connection to the CMS / AUDIT Oracle databases - and any RPT content running on the CR-JobServers that is using an Oracle Native connection...?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)

Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)
Flabbergasted at the sheer level of idiocy required to use Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8.1 Pro I remain a stead fast winXPro user to this day (mid-2014) and beyond. My i3-3225 XP machine turns 2000+ Passmark system scores and excels at everything the
way we all use to, before Microsoft's policy of operating systems built for idiots, by idiots came to pass. Then as a sheer act of desperation I tried Server 2008 r2... is it the OS I have dreamed of? Short of an XP Theme conversion kit I have questions...
Problem 1) Windows Explorer: In the folder directory left pane... the little [+] box next to the folder names flash on and off each time I use the right window pane. Can I by any and all means make them not do this, remain visible, sit still; like XP used
to do?
Problem 2) Start Menu: This popup is a double wide window pane, two columns of annoyance. Can I reduce this to a single wide by removing the right pane entirely by any and all means. I have removed every button from the right pane, but it still exists, it still
has a default picture user icon and says Administrator.
Problem 3) If specific programs/drivers are unavailable for this OS 2008 r2, I presume win 7 x64 by default work.
Problem 4) Passmark benchmarking software tested my system, with windows 8.1 I had a processor score of 9,400, but server 2008 r2 put out only 8,100 in repetitive tests. Why the slowdown? I only use this as an XP like os, no actual server stuff, should i disable
something?

Windows Server is not intended to replace Windows XP. i would advice to try Windows 7 or 8 instead.
1) I cannot picture what you mean. ther is a setting to define wheter the left pane should follow if you browse in the right one. Tools- folder options- general 'navigation pane'
2)Windows vista/2008 is the last version that had a (optional) single pane start menu. if you don't like the current one, ther is third party software available to replace the start menu
3) yes, these will be ok
4) 2008 R2 is a server OS and is out-of-the bow not optimized for foreground applications. Windows 8.1 on the other hand is a newer and more performant OS optimized for client usage. in both cases a lot of performance gain is to be expected by selecting
the right drivers, disabling or unisntalling unneeded software and windows features, disabling unneeded services. I would recommend to (a least) go to computer properties -advanced settigns- advanced and set 'adjust for best perfomance of" to programs (instead
of background services)

Intermittant disconnection of Shared Drives on Windows 7 Client machines hosted in WIndows Server 2008 Standard Edition

The environment - Windows Server 2008 Standard/Windows 7 32 bit Client machine.
Share - It is not a DFS share.
Antivirus - McAfee
The issue - 1 user is unable to connect to a particular shared drive hosted from within the Windows Server 2008 Standard file server. This drive is one of the multiple drives which are supposed to be connected to the user machine during logon using
the logon script. All the other drives mentioned in the logon script gets mapped fine but one particular drive does not. The user uses a laptop and we have checked his connections while in LAN, Wireless, VPN. Everything seems to be working
fine apart from this one shared drive. Rest of the users within that office gets the drive fine but just not this one user. Since we are not domain admins so we do not have a visibility of the group policies linked to this particular drive and
hence RSOP as well does not help. We have not seen the user getting logged into the machine using a TEMP profile as well for us to ascertain that the issue may be with a TEMP profile logon.
Please note that the drive does get connected at times and at times the connection just drops off! As an interim measure the local IT has created a batch file and given it to the user which maps the drive for the user.
Any help in resolving this long impending issue would be much appreciated!
Suman

Hi Suman,
You could keep the session always active to workaround this issue. Please open Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policy -> Security Options and set the value of the policy Microsoft Network Server:Amount
of idle time required before suspending a session to 99999 and see how it works.
This security setting determines the amount of continuous idle time that must pass in a Server Message Block (SMB) session before the session is suspended due to inactivity. Administrators can use this policy to control when a computer suspends an inactive
SMB session. If client activity resumes, the session is automatically reestablished. For this policy setting, a value of 0 means to disconnect an idle session as quickly as is reasonably possible. The maximum value is 99999, which is 208 days; in effect, this
value disables the policy.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:

Windows Server 2008 R2 issues on OVS 3

I've been trying to get Windows Server 2008 R2 to work on OVS3 and been having issues.
First I tried to copy a working VM from OVS2 and it seemed to work, but it would crash whenever intensive I/O happened. I installed the OVS3 PVM drivers, hoping that would fix it, but it didn't. I moved it over to another server, thinking maybe it was a hardware issue. No luck there.
I also tried a fresh install. It boots up and when it starts to unpack the install files the VM reboots. I tried this with an NFS repository and on local disk with the same result.
Has anyone successfully installed Win2K8 Server on OVM3? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

Both Mem and Max Mem were set to 2048 mb, so I figured it was fine. But I changed them both to 4096 mb and now it's working. Odd.
Both the copied VM and the fresh install are working.
Thanks.

Download issue when Windows 7 Pro joins a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi,
I purchased 2 new Dell OptiPlex 3010 desktop computers that came with Windows 7 Professional operating system with SP1.
There were no Microsoft updates installed yet. After I added one of these Dell computers to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, I was not able to download several items.
Below are several examples:
1) I downloaded the Norton anti-virus installation file. This file is not the full installation of Norton; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Norton web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it does not download the full installation files.
It just hung at the screen saying “Downloading” and it will finally stop with an error (don’t remember the error message).
Note: If I have the full Norton installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
2) I downloaded the Adobe Reader installation file. This file is not the full installation of Adobe Reader; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Adobe web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it hung at the downloading part and then it will error out with a “Actionlist Not Found” message.
Note: If I have the full Adobe Reader installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
3) I installed Microsoft Office 2010 Standard version on this computer.
I configured Microsoft Outlook to retrieve emails from my email provider (pop and smtp settings).
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, I was able to send emails through Microsoft Outlook successfully (and very quickly), but he was unable to retrieve my emails. The progress bar for the Receiving in the "Outlook Send/Receive Progress" box
shows no progress. The Progress bar is not moving. There is a message at the bottom of Microsoft Outlook stating "Receiving message 1 of 6 (x.xx KB of x.xx MB)" and it is very slow. My new emails were not being retrieved at all.
I tried various pop and smtp servers that was available for my email provider, but all had the same effect.
4) I can access certain web sites (e.g.
www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com) while I cannot access other web sites like
www.usatoday.com, my web hosting email site.
Note: I had a Dell computer with Windows XP Professional operating system and this computer does not have any of the above issues.
The above are only a few examples that I have experienced.
If I removed this Dell OptiPlex 3010 computer from the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I still experience the same issue.
So as another test, I setup the other new Dell OptiPlex 3010 with the same Windows 7 Professional OS with SP1.
This time, I did not join the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and I was able to successfully download the full Norton installation files, download the full Adobe Reader installation files, download my emails from Microsoft Outlook 2010, etc.
But once I joined this computer to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I am not able to download these files and emails at all.
It seems like there might be some group policy or a security setting that is preventing these downloads so I disabled the group policy on the Windows Server 2008 AD and Windows 7 Profession OS, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
I disabled all of the firewall programs on this Windows 7 Professional OS, but it still did not resolve the issue.
Since the Windows Server 2008 AD did not have DHCP installed, I installed DHCP and setup a scope.
Then configured the Windows 7 Professional OS to obtain an IP address, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
If I move this Windows 7 Professional computer to another network where it did not have any Active Directory; it just had a wireless router serving DHCP then everything works on the Windows 7 Pro computer.
Any ideas what is the root cause when a Windows 7 Professional computer join a Windows Server 2008 AD?
Thanks,

Hi,
Could you please tell some information for the AD environment and how it connect to the internet?
Regarding 3rd party installlers didn't work as expected, please also seek help in their offical website.
For outlook not receiving emails, could you please take a look in
Event Viewer and see if there are any special errors logged there?
And when trying to access the website like

Deployment issue on windows server 2008(64 bit)

Hi all,
I am using crystal reports 2008 trial version for my web application. Its working fine in development environment but when I deploy application in windows server 2008 64 bit edition it shows following error:"An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required."
Is there any resolution available for this problem except for changing the IIS settings for 32 bit applications?

Read the following [article|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e;jsessionid=(J2EE3417600)ID0244107750DB11172929121510648759End] as it goes over your issue.
Essentially you will have to set IIS to 32 bit at the least.

Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard. Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
- open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal". I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012) with no connection issues from this PC
2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS. I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway. That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hi RonaldRenaud,
If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86 Product Key Issue

I am trying to create a VM using a Template, but facing an issue with respect to Product Key. The VHD I am using is of
Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86. If I do not provide Product Key in the Template/Guest OS Profile, the Virtual Machine creation fails even before starting. Seeing this behavior, I added a dummy key to the Guest OS Profile/Template which allowed
me to deploy the machine, but the VM gets stuck at Customization before failing. When I take the remote console of the VM, the Error I see at the Remote Console is:
Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass. The settings specified in the answer files cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [microsoft-windows-shell-setup]"
So, I am confused now what to do.
Is dummy key supported?
Do I need to provide the actual key in the Template/Guest OS Profile?

You should be able to evaluate this software for 180 days.

File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

Hi Expert,
I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box. Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32". I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
Best Wishes,

Do any experts know the reason of this problem? Thanks!

Window Server 2008-Issue running my website on local webserver-ie issue

I hosted my website on my local webserver (Window Server 2008), and when I run it on
iE8 & iE11 the website doesn't look good, my navigation bar brakes, and my image slider breaks too. It is not a browser
issue because, I have hosted the same website on the Goddady servers, and it works fine with
iE8&
iE11. And also on my local webserver when I try to run it on the google chrome it works fine, but on the Internet Explorer comes out with that problem. Do you guys think is a problem with my IIS on my Server? Any help/suggestion/advice I would
really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Samet
