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.

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.

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.

Windows Server 2012: SMB share with transparent failover

Have a nice day to all!
I have 2 HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 servers containing 8 x 1TB disks (with P420i HP Smart Array RAID Controller) in each server.
So, there are 2 arrays on every server:
1. 2 x 1TB in RAID1 (+1 disk for hot swap) - system volume
2. 5 x 1TB in RAID5 (+1 disk for hot swap) - data volume
And I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on each server.
Than I created a failover two-nodes cluster.
And now I want to create a SMB share with transparent failover for all the second (data) volume (it's about 3.3TB in RAID5 array). How just can I reach this goal? I'm going to use it in future for Hyper-V VMs, so, the main reqirement is powered-on and working
VMs even if one node of SMB share cluster is failed.
I wasn't able to see my volumes in failover cluster manager. I tried to create iSCSI targets, storage pools, virtual disks, etc. but no luck. My failover cluster manager can't see it to create SMB share!
Can anyone advice me something?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have your storage you want to export as being a shared storage visible to your cluster (part of CSV). Then you'll configure failover file shares using content accessible from both cluster nodes. Refer to this manual for diagrams (ignore StarWind
and replace it logically with your existing shared storage you've used to create your cluster):
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/configuring-ha-file-server-on-windows-server-2012-for-smb-nas
Also see these manuals from MS on how to create failover file server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753969.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
However if you want to use existing storage located on the both nodes you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide anything representing local DAS to the cluster nodes. If you want to use existing DAS then you'll have to stick with a third-party product
like StarWind, SteelEye or DataCore. To create something like in this picture:
So you'll have a configuration with only two nodes, no physical shared hardware (SAS JBOD, FC or iSCSI) and vSAN. Refer to this manual:

Hope this helped :)

Hyper-V 2012 High Availability using Windows Server 2012 File Server Storage

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise regarding hyper-v high availability. We setup 2 hyper-v 2012 host in our infra for our domain consolidation project. Unfortunately, we don't have hardware storage that is said to be a requirement that we can use to create a failover cluster
for hyper-v host to implement HA. Here's the setup:
Host1
HP Proliant L380 G7
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Host2
Dell PowerEdge 2950

I'm able to configure the new feature about Shared Nothing Live Migration - i'm able to move VM's back and fort between my hosts without storage. But this is planned and proactive approach. My concern is to have my hyper-v host to become highly available in
the event of system failure. If my host1 dies, the VMs should go/move to host2 and vice versa. In setting this up, i believe i need to enable the failover clustering between my hyper-v hosts which i already did but upon validation, it says "No disks
were found on which to perform cluster validation tests." Is it possible to cluster it using just a regular windows file server? I've read about SMB 3.0 and i've configured it as well i'm able to save VMs on my file server, but i don't think that my hyper-v
hosts are already highly available.
Any feedback and suggestions or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your shared storage is a single point of failure with this scenario so I would not consider the whole setup as a production configuration... Also setup is both slow (all I/O is travelling down the wire to storage server, running VMs from DAS is ages faster)
and expensive (third server + extra Windows license). I would think twice about what you do and either deploy a built-in VM replication technologies (Hyper-V Replica) and apps built-in clustering features that does not require shared storage (SQL Server and
Database Mirroring for example, BTW what workload do you run?) or use some third-party software creating fault tolerant shared storage from DAS or investing into physical shared storage hardware (HA one of course).
Hi VR38DETT,
Thanks for responding. The hosts will cater a domain controller (on each host), Web filtering software (Websense), Anti-Virus (McAfee ePO), WSUS and an Auditserver as of the moment. Is the Hyper-V Replica somewhat give "high availability" to VMs or Hyper-V
hosts? Also, is the cluster required in order to implement it? Haven't tried that but worth a try.

Windows server 2012 File replication

Hi All,
I am SQL DBA. But in my current company I am having a new responsibility called IIS Admin.
In my organization, I am instructed to do following activity.
There is a Live Web server(named X) and a user acceptance test Server(named Y)
There is a folder called "Intranet" in both the servers.
If any changes done in "Intranet" of X(any new files created, updated or deleted.....) it needs to be automatically updated on "Intranet" of Y also. But not Vice versa, it should be one way.
At the same time, we need to do changes on Y also.
Both the servers are installed with windows server 2012(Standard edition).
What mechanism can we use to achieve the above.
Please help me in the regard.
Thanks & Regards,
K.P.Senthil Kumar

Hi,
For the file replication, you could use DFS Replication.

Windows server 2012 File Server - Corrupt Images

Hi Guys,
I migrated a windows file share from Windows server 2003 to a new virtual windows server 2012 data centre server. All appears ok except for one issue
There are numerous word docs on this file share (over 300 pages) with images in them (jpegs,pngs ) At times when users open these docs on the new server the images in them are corrupted. When a local copy of the same file is opened all appears fine. It has
happened on a few docs now but I cant pin point why this is happening. Obviously it was not happening on the 2003 server. I have no dedup turned on or compression. I simply copied the files over and ntfs permissons. It does not happen all the time so I am
thinking it is some read/write issue in 2012. The server reports no high cpu or memory at any time.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Hi. Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem?
I have the exact same issue after migrating from Server 2003 to 2012. Occasionally Office files that include images stored on the share will get corrupted with the top of some of the images showing normally and then blurring or noise in the rest of them.
I can usually restore a copy of the file made by shadow copy but the corruption of images should not be happening in the first place. Some users are losing confidence in storing their work on the share which is potentially a big issue.
I am pretty convinced that this is an issue with Server 2012 as we have not migrated from Office (2010 Enterprise) and files stores on 2003 servers on or PC hard drives are not affected.
Thanks!

Server 2012 Local Shares - Cannot access using \\IP but works via \\localhost

I've been stuck on this problem for the last couple of days and I can't find a solution on the internet that works.
I have a Windows Server 2012 instance running on Amazon AWS with a public IP address. I am using it as an SCCM (System Center 2012 Configuration Manager) Server (so it is a Domain Controller also). I realize that it's probably not best practice to use a public
IP here, but I'm in a weird position where we are not connecting any of the Clients to the actual Domain (they are Workgroup computers all around the world). The goal here is to use SCCM to deploy software packages to all of the Clients, which are not on the
same LAN/VPN/Domain.
This is my first time setting something up like this, so I followed this guide. I am able to get the Workgroup computers to show up in the SCCM Server Device list (via manual client install), but these Workgroup computers need access to the Server's shares
to download the software packages. On Amazon, I opened all ports and allowed all IPs to communicate with the Server. I am able to RDP into the Server from any Workgroup computer using the IP address, but cannot access the Server's SMB shares even though I
am attempting the connection with a Domain account with access to those shares.
I decided to see if I can even connect to the shares locally on the Server. Logging in with an account with administrator privileges, I can access \\localhost\shares without
a problem. But when I try to do \\X.X.X.X\shares,
it asks for user/pass (confirming that it is able to connect) and I put in the correct credentials for the account with administrator privileges (using DOMAIN\ACCOUNT), but it continually says that the user/pass is incorrect. After I click cancel, an error
comes up saying "Error Code 0x80004005 Unspecified Error".
It is crazy to me that the administrator account that is logged in cannot access the local shares via the public IP address... obviously no remote computer would be able to access the shares if the Server itself cannot. I have tried disabling the firewall,
but this makes no difference. I am able to ping the IP from the Server and I get a response.
I have searched around the internet for a solution but nothing has worked. Here are some of the suggestions I've found (that have failed):
- Making sure "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is installed and enabled for the Ethernet Adapter
- Enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in IPv4 properties
- Ensuring IPv6 is disabled
- Server, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, and Workstation (services) are all running
Any ideas? Sorry for such a long post, just wanted to get as many details as I could. All help is appreciated. Thanks!
Shawn

Hi,
Are there any anti-virus software or other third party products running on the server? If yes, please disable them to see if it resolves the issue.
Here is a similar thread below I suggest you refer to:

Windows Server 2012 R2 (VM). KB3000850 installed successfully but then after reboot it couldn't complete update & uninstalls

Hi,
Every time we try to install KB3000850 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (Virtual), it says it installs successfully, reboots, but then before the logon screen comes up it says "We couldn't complete the updates, undoing changes..." and it uninstalls
the update. Yet, when you look at installed updates, it shows KB3000850 yet it's still availabe when you look for new updates, and if you run the update again manually, it doesn't say that it's already installed. What gives? :)
(no hyper-v)
Thank you!

Hi,
Please refer to Dave’s suggestion and check if help you to solve this issue.

Android kitkat issue in loading swf file from device. URL found but not working

Hi,
I am facing one issue from a very long time regarding file access in Android Kitkat version 4.4.*. I have developed Adobe Air player application for android and it is working as expected below kitkat version but not on kitkat.
I am following this methods -
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);
public function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void
                                    var newFile:String = String(event.arguments[0]);
                                    trace("Received new file from Android: "+newFile)
Received URL form device in Android Kitkat -
/storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Animation/27 031_1_Welcome screen.swf
file:////storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Anim ation/27031_1_Welcome screen.swf
                - Loading this URL using loader class in AS3 AIR but not working.
file%3A///storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Ani mation/27031_1_Welcome%20screen.swf
       - Have used also by doing escape character but still it is not working showing file not found both SWF and mp4 case. (Mp4 case NetStream.Play.FileNotFound)
By using the above methods I can have swf or mp4 video url but when I am loading it, It is not working giving error message "File not found/ IO Error". I have read that if use escape character then it will work but I have used escape character also but it is not working.
Humble request you to please advise how can I solve this issue.
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Starting in KitKat, Google requires that applications have permission to access files on the system. You must specifically add either the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions in order to access files. Adding either one of those permissions should let you read/access files on the device. Prior to KitKat, you didnt have to have these permissions listed in the manifest to access files.

Mac OS (10.6.4) with Windows Server 2008 file shares, kernel errors

We experience problems with the Windows enviroment and around 15 Apple computers running MacOS 10.6.4. All Macs are Mac Pro and bought just before the hexacore series.
Problem 1: At random times the network is really slow, finder can't display the items in a SMB share. The shares are located on a Server 2008.
Problem 2: When a file is openend, there is a lock file on the share. When the document is saved and closed, the lockfile isn't removed directly. This causes problems when people reopen the document too fast and get a read-only document because the file is allready in use.
I tried to copy a 80GB file from a Ubuntu (created with /dev/null) to the Mac. There are no problems copying it from Ubuntu with rsync.
Then I moved the 80GB file to the server share, these errors came up:

This might relate to you as you are using a Windows 2008 Server with Mac clients.
Apparently there seems to be an issue with SMB, since Microsoft rolled out SMB 2.0 with Windows 2008 Server. According to Microsoft, SMB 2.0 is supposed to solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east, but in reality, it just puts up more road blocks for non-Microsoft platforms. Check out this article I found:
http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
Currently we have an issue with all 40 of our Macs not being able to save files properly to the Windows 2008 file server due to what the message claims to be a permission issue, but in reality it seems like something to do with the SMB protocol. We are investigating the issue and will see in a few days if the problem can be resolved by disabling SMB 2.0 on Windows 2008 Server.
Let us know if this problem resolves your problem as well. You never know how many other issues can be caused by a twitchy SMB protocol.

Exploring Windows Server 2012 R2. I need to know how to enable system restore, though.

I've gone about exploring the Datacenter edition to determine if it's right for what I need it for as a home server. However, I want to have a plan for when something goes wrong that might require a system restore, but that refreshing or resetting Windows
Server entirely would be overdoing it. I discovered two Group Policy settings pertaining to SR and properly configured them to attempt to get System Restore up and running, but unfortunately to no avail. What can I do?

System restore is not available in server builds. You are supposed to install and use windows server backup feature instead.

Server 2012 Datacenter - local IIS site opens locally but not from PCs on the domain

This is my first multi-server domain server install on an existing domain. I have a new Server 2012 installed on our domain. This server will host an intranet site, not public facing. I managed to install IIS and have a working ASP/.Net site. I can open
the site while on the server. However, the server denies access to the site from PCs on this domain. I tried changing the security options for the site directory but I can't find the issue.
The directory security objects allowed include:
MYSERVER\IIS_IUSRS
But, "MYSERVER" does not acknowledge the security object:
MYDOMAIN\IIS_IUSRS
What settings have I missed? The default site on port 80 is working locally and from the domain. My site is on port 8080 and is not located under the c:\inetpub folder, where the working default site is located.
Thanks in advance,
Kurt

Update:
I installed SQL Express 2012 and Management Studio 2012 locally on "MYSERVER". Again, I can attach to my instance of SQL locally from this server but using SSMS2012 from my PC on the domain, the SQL instance is not found. This must be related to
the above issue.

Windows Server 2003 file share issues - on wifi directory changes to root automatically

I have this strange issue and it ONLY happens on wifi.
If I browse to windows share: \\hpdsfandp\common$\folder1\folder2 - within seconds explorer changes the directory back to \\hpdsfandp\common$
*this does not happen if I'm on ethernet
*this does not happen if I go to a different server (eg) \\etdb2\c$\folder1
I tried diff wireless access points and it happens on both. Sometimes the issue goes away but then comes back the next day
I did run wireshark on the client and I got a few errors:
ERROR (SMB): NT Status: STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE
ERROR (SMB): NT Status: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

Hi,
Please check the following 2 group policy settings:
1. Make sure you do not have the policy configured in User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> User Profiles -> Connect home directory to root of the share.
2. Set the Group Policy setting under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon -> Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon to Enabled.

Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!

Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:
