Windows Server 2008 R2 Folder Redirection on Windows 8.1 Not Working

I am running Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers on 2008 R2 Functional Level. Only our IT Dept is running Windows 8.1, everyone else on 7 Enterprise SP1 edition.
I cannot get Folder Redirection to work on Windows 8.1 which I need to get completed because the current File Server that hosts the current Userprofile\User\Documents is going to be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 DFS.
I ran a group policy results on my Machine and Username, the Folder Redirection Policy is shown with no errors. Yet my "Documents' still point to C:\.

Hi,
Here is a similar thread on Group Policy forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/05b12275-c595-4c4a-877a-c6a9e8d5e086/windows-2012-r2windows-81-gpo-folder-redirection-woes?forum=winserverGP
Several possible solutions are delivered including:
1. Try to enable the following setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
2. Run a RSOP to see the applied group policies and check if any conflict occurs which cause the issue.
3. Test to recreate user profile (as the last reply mentioned) to see if issue still exists.

Is this a clean install or an upgrade? 20 GB, though greater than the minimum, is pretty minimal. How much memory do you have on the system? 2008 would try to create a page file of 1.5x physical memory, so if you are building on a large
memory system, you could be having an issue there.

SVCHost NetSVCS On Windows Server 2008 Standard memory leak with windows update

I have a particular situation that has surfaced lately. I have a series of Windows Server 2008 Standard. I have applications that use WMI to do application interfacing. For years this has been running fine until recenly in the last month
I have seen memory being swallowed by the process SVCHost Netsvcs. I have done significant research into this. The problem appears almost like clock work on a daily basis. I have traced this to windows update which seems to kick off, it is
also using WMI, it starts and seems to get lost then netsvcs starts running off until all memory is consumed and the svchost process eventually fails. At that point I can get back into the system to view it. If I catch it in time I can simply stop windows
update but sometimes I have to take the drastic and unsafe measure to kill that particular svchost process.
There are a lot of threads regarding SVCHost and nothing comes remotely close to this issue as far as I can see.
I have allready ensured that windows update is up to date.
At present I am forced to ensure that windows update is disabled. I then have to manually shut down the other services that are using WMI to do an update. This means down time for my applications realtime updates.

Hi,
does this issue occur on a single server or multiple servers? And is it server 2008 or 2008 R2? (if 2008R2 there is a
hotfix
available which would seem a good fit for your current issue).

Windows Server 2012 Standard - HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer not working after promoting to Domain Controller / AD Services

An associate and myself installed the built-in drivers for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus multi-function (network) printer on a Windows Server 2012 Standard server installation and everything worked fine whenever I want to print anything directly from the
Windows Server machine (there's a reason for this, so please understand that ;) ).
We were able to print without any problems from the Windows Server 2012 machine, using the drivers from Microsoft. Mainly, because HP has not listed any specific support for Windows Server 2012, only Windows Server 2008 R2, however, the drivers that
came with Windows 2012 seem to work very well.
PROBLEM: I later had to promote the Windows Server 2012 to a Domain Controller, and created the Active Directory configurations, even enabled the Print Services. After doing all of that, the HP printer will not print anything. It's like all print
requests directly from the Windows Server go to Nil.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? The only thing I can think of is that after perhaps something affected printing directly once we promoted the server to being a DC, and added other features / roles. I even tried installing the
HP drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2, and the results are still the same...nothing prints. Trust me, the printer is set as the Default Printer and even when choosing to print, we make sure the HP OfficeJet Pro is selected, and is on, as other Windows
Client PC's can print to it directly.
Does anyone have any suggestions we could try? Thanks in advance.

While it is quite a while since this was posted - I can concur a similar issue exists.
We have spent the better part of a day trying to work out why other HP printers work fine but our 8620 prints are not printing and going to Nil. The print server is hosted on a shared DC. Comparing to the initial posters details, for some reason
it seems to be most commonly related to the OfficeJet Pro 8600/8610/8620/8630 series printers.
I ended up doing a print server migration from the domain controller to stand alone host and all printers now work from a single server rather than a mix. Domain controller OSes varied from 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 (tested with multiple) and only after
all of those failed then tried a stand alone server os machine as a last resort which worked fine. Printing directly from Win 7 / 8 /8.1 clients to the IP always worked.

Hi Zargar,
>>Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 Professional; i am getting empty start menu.
This is normal, for we disabled the option
Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location. This option is enabled by default and it will automatically move the existing content to the new location.
At this moment, we can manually copy the files we want from the local locations.

Windows Server 2012 , File Share, need to create CNAME but not working

I'm doing a file server migration for an old Netapp and I'm moving all the data to a Windows Server 2012 Standard System. I need to be able to have 3+ cnames for the system so I don't impact existing clients. I have read the below
articles and none of them are working.
Currently I'm getting the following error
"The Mapped Network drive could not be created because the following error occurred"
"The target account name is incorrect"
So I have tried the following without any luck, and these fixes below are supposed to work on Window 2008R2, but they don't on Server 2012
1) use DisableStrictNameChecking registry value
2) use netdom to create another hostname that is bound to the server, netdom computername (mysystem) /Add (newsystemname)
3) I used setspn to create an alternative name for the system
4) tried disabling SMB3
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure this is possible just down know now.
Jason

Why don't you just go into DNS and create multiple records for the same IP address?
Or, if you like trying more complicated paths, install DFS and use its distributed naming capability. It can have many, many different names.

Using drag and drop in remote desktop on windows server 2008

we running an application on windows server 2008 terminal services .. this application was support drag and drop functionality .. i understand that terminal services on windows 2008 is supported to drag and drop but is not happening !! even when i run remote desktop connection on this server the drag and the drop is not working !
i need to enable the drag and drop for windows 2008 terminal services ..
Thanks in advance

Hello Ayman,
If your requirement is to drag and drop files between local and remote sessions, Danny is right. Drag-and-drop feature is not supported in Windows Server 2008-based Terminal Server, which is a by-design behavior hard-coded in the current version of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
As a workaround, I recommend you to use copy-and-paste function instead of drag-and-drop. To enable the copy-and-paste between local and remote session, please enable the clipboard redirection in Windows Server 2008-based RDC. (In Windows Server 2003 environment, local drive redirection is needed.)
Hope it helps. Thanks.

Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

Hi,
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
DC:windows Server 2008 R2
Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
There have 3 suggestion in this article:
1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
Doesnt's work.
2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
UDP 192.168.20.3:137 *:*
3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
We are not using IPV6.
This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
Please help to check this issue.
Thank you very much.

Hi Guo Ying,
I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
Final Resolution is as follows:
You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

SharePoint 2013 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard

Hi Team,
We are thinking on upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SP 2013 soon. I have been researching about the server OS I should install as host, and it seems that SharePoint 2013 is fully compatible by now with both Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard + SP1 and
Windows Server 2012 Standard. In my opinion we should go with server 2012, but Windows server 2008 is the norm here at our organization and our Infrastructure team seems reluctant to upgrade servers to 2012 yet.
My question is, what SharePoint or Windows 2012 features will we miss if we decide to stay on Windows 2008? What are the perks (selling points) of going with 2012 over 2008? (besides the obvious Microsoft support range extension).
Thanks!
-Rob.

If you stay on Windows Server 2008 R2 you will enter the extended/out of support phase sooner, of course. You will miss out on IIS improvements, although in practical terms it may not mean much.
There are extra patches required for a 2008 R2 deployment that are not needed on 2012 for SharePoint 2013. But other than that, I think the other big issue is that mostly in the community, you'll find people running Server 2012 which means issues are better
'known' by the community, versus 2008 R2 in combination with SharePoint 2013.

Can I install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ed.?

Hi, SDN experts.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2?
I checked the the software requirement for SAP Solution Manager 7.0, it only mentioned Window Server 2003 and 2008 enterprise edition.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition?
When I ran the Solution Manager Master Installer, the Pre-requisite Checker gave a warning message saying that it detected incompatible server version, that the server version is Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (I guess it meant Window Server 2008 R2).
=======
The following Windows operating system version is supported: Windows Server 2003 (i.e. Version 5.2) and Windows Server 2008 (i.e. Version 6.0).
Current Windows version: Version 6.1, Service Pack 1.0, productive type: Server.
You can check the current version of you operating system by runningu2026u2026..
========
Can I actually install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2? Will this cause problem during the installation/post-installation if I ignore this message?
Thanks,
KC

Hi,
I think it is not straight forward to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2.
I am installing Solution Manager 7.0 , the installation encountered error on Create Java Users step (Phase 31 of 44). When I login to SAP solution Manager system through SAP GUI. I encountered this error:
"OS release Windows NT 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 4x AMD64 Level 6 (Mod 44 Step 2) is not supported with this kernel (700)'
I found that it is because I am installing SAP Solution Manger 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2, which the existing kernel version does not support.
Do you know which kernel I should install?
I browsed in:
SAP Application Components" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0" Entry by Component" Solution Manager ABAP Stack
SAP KERNEL 7.00 64-BIT UNICODE --> Windows Server on x64 64bit -->MS SQL SERVER
I downloaded:
SAPEXEDB_291-20001361.SAR Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.00) 291
Is this the right Kernel patch I should use?
If it is the right kernel patch file, how do I apply the latest kernel to existing Solution Manager system? Can you give me some guidance on this?
Thanks,
KC

Error 1625 with Adobe Reader Update on Windows Server 2008 R2 OS

For the last two months when I receive updates to Adobe Reader 9.3 I get Error 1625: Update failed. Update not permitted by system policy.   But there is no system policy since this is a stand-alone machine.
Windows Server 2008 R2 is equivalent to Windows 7 OS but has some special security features. If I could manually download and run this update and by pass the Adobe automated install I might be able to fix the problem by running the update "as administrator" but I think Adobe doesn't give me that choice.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Reader 9.3 but still get the same result when applying this update.
Adobe reader is working fine, so I would be happy also if Adobe just stopped trying to send me this update.
Any suggestions?

I did. When I posted my last response ending in "did not work" I had a dashed line and
Adobe in there infinite wisdom interpreted that as an end of message.   So here is the rest
of my last post which was cut off:
So I then tried ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ's solution (the one above your suggestion) - downloading the updates to my desktop and applying them by hand.   That worked.
But this means I may need to download all future updates by hand for this computer.   It's great that ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ posted links for these three updates above, but I'm wondering how to easily automate getting download links for all future updates since I don't have access to the parent directory http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/.
Please suggest a way I can install all future updates by hand without requesting a special link. In particular, when you download an update using Adobe Reader "search for updates", where is that update saved so perhaps I could run it by hand instead of the automated way.

Error 0x800f024b installing x86 driver on Windows Server 2008

When attempting to install updated versions of my Lexmark Universal v2 PS3 x86 drivers on 2 of my Windows 2008 clustered print servers, I am receiving the following error screen: "Unable to install Lexmark Universal Universal v2 PS3,
Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x800f024b)". I have 55 other Windows Server 2008 file and print servers that I have not had any issues doing this upgrade to. It only happens on my 2 clustered
print servers.

I believe the issue is not installing the driver in the spooler context but adding the driver to the driverstore. On a cluster the driver is added remotely (yes even on the active node) and the addition to the driverstore also travels the remote install
path. There was some issue we fixed for Lexmark due to some long string or something in this context but I can't find the information.
Are you running Server 2008 or 2008R2?
