Dear Expert,
we deploy the offline folder to end users, there is a strange issue happened now, if user tries to change the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase, the system will show "You need permission to perform this aciton". But other actions are fine, like, create, delete, rename, etc.
Hello everybody!
I have experienced some troubles with the FSRM and customizing File Management Tasks under Windows Server 2012. I hope someone could assist me in this matter.
I found this Technet blog some time ago and my actions were based on it:http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/05/11/customizing-file-management-tasks.aspx
However, it doesn't want to work out quite how i want yet.
I would like to explain my situation first. We would like to archive our File Server, every file that hasn't been accessed for over 4 years should be moved to a different location. The folder structure as well as the permissions should be kept like they were on the file server (the only exception would be that write right on those files would/should be removed, because we don't want people to edit or delete archived files). We realized that this is not quite realizable with a normal file management task (with choosing "file expiration" in the action drop down). That's why we decided to make a script by ourselves and choose "customize" in the action drop down of the file management task in FSRM.
The problem we do have now is that the script doesn't get executed, we basically did the same thing like we were told to in that Technet blog without any success.
First of all we created an easy script in order to make sure our customized file management task works like it should. For that we just wanted to create a log file with the Source File Path of the work-related file, which is about to get archived in the task. The "%1" stands for the parameter [Source File Path]. The script looks like that:
echo %1 > C:\Users\Username\Desktop\log.txt
exit
I have attached a screenshot of the customized file management task as well:
Okay so far so good. If I run the file management task now, it somehow ends up in an endless loop, it doesn't do anything and it doesn't finish either. FSRM created a log file though. If I look at it I can see that every single file that matched the condition of last accessed 4 years ago, ended up in an error:
"Unable to run command: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\Windows\System32\test.cmd [Source File Path]. 0x80045367, the file management action command timed out."
I have tried several ways of customizing the task already (absolute path, no absolute path, script file endings cmd or bat) nothing changed the result... Furthermore the script i am providing to test this customized task is fairly easy and working. So my assumption is that FSRM doesn't even execute the script?
I don't know where the error could be and i would really appreciate your help in form of troubleshooting or other suggestions/solutions how to achieve our goal.
Thank you!

I'm confused by something. This is Server 2008 R2. I was of the understanding that a DC that ran the DFS Namespace service was considered a Namespace Server.
I just went into DFS Mgt and noted the namespace servers for our 2 namespaces. I was then looking at a DC that was not in that list, and it is running the DFS Namespace service (the services is started).
Isn't a DC that runs the DFS Namespace service considered a Namespace server, in a domain-based namespace?
If it is running that service, what is a possible reason(s) that it is not in the list of namespace servers in DFS management?
Hello,
I have set up a test environment in which I have a single server with 4gb RAM currently running Active Directory Domain Services with only 2 clients and it runs fine (only using 990MB). I am intending to install SQL Server on it and limit it to 2gb ram. As well as these, I would very much like a domain-based DFS Namespace (I am not bothered about file replication) but will all three roles be able to run efficiently with only two clients? I don't want it to be really laggy taking ages to process logon requests and SQL queries etc. I would rather have SQL and AD run fine than have a DFS as well and have them really slow.
Has anyone else used the 32 bit x86 Windows 8.1U1 to map to a Windows 2012 R2 withSet-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $True and Set-SmbServerConfiguration –RejectUnencryptedAccess $False ?
I have full success with 64 bit X64 Windows 8.1U1 client. No problems.
As soon as I try NET USE X: \\SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.EXT\SHARENAME the 32 bit client hangs for many minutes before finally mapping the drive. Any attempt to access the share hangs Explorer or the computer for many more minutes. So slow it is almost impossible to use the machine.
If I set on the server:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EncryptData $False
The NET USE works fast and access is fast.
Or, if I turn off SMB2/3 on client, NET USE works fast and access is fast, like this:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
This is on a freshly installed 8.1U1, no GP, no apps or fully configured with apps and GP. Every 32 bit OS machine, including varied Sony and Dell hardware, VM's on HyperV Server, etc. Behaves the same against several 2012 and 2012 R2 servers, although they are all similar in setup.
Thanks!
I am currently learning DFS and I have some questions about some things I find really strange. But first an overview:
---------------
SOIL-DC1 (Server)
D:\Shares\Research (shared as \\SOIL-DC1\Research)
D:\Shares\Laboratory (shared as \\SOIL-DC1\Laboratory)
SOIL-DC2 (Server)
D:\Shares\Development (shared as \\SOIL-DC2\Development)
\\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Public (DFS-Namespace)
Research (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Research)
Laboratory (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Laboratory)
Development (targets to \\SOIL-DC1\Development)
---------------
What I find really strange is, that I can access the shares ommitting the namespace ("Public"). For example: \\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Research. However, that folder is shown as empty and I don't have permissions to add any files. The intended namespace
\\SNAKEOIL.LOCAL\Public is working as expected.
Why is that and how can I avoid this strange behaviour?
Hello
I want to Sync my DFS share folder with some specific client folder
my purpose is that users work on own files in their computer and my DFS service check any change in any client that i choose and download changes that happened in users files on their computers
with this system , automatic backup is done from client file without the users can sense it or copy own file to share system
how can i do this?
Thanx
We have a file server (Server 2003 R2 member of a 2003R2 domain) on which I can no longer add users to folder security permissions. When I try to enter a username and click check name it says they can't be found and if I click on locations the AD tree below the domain name won't expand - I just get the domain name and the + box disappears as below.
On the server in Admin Tools ADUC would not work either so I uninstalled and now can't re-install...
I am able to add permissions to files and folders on the server remotely, i.e. browse to the admin share for the relevant drive on the server from my desktop PC and find the file / folder and add permissions that way. After doing this the permissions appear on the server, but I can't add them directly?!?
I'd considered removing the server from the domain and re-adding but the server has a number of user and application shares which would be lost, but I'm concerned it might stop working altogether.
I've tried SFC /Scannow but don't have the install disks (as I wasn't left them but those who I took over from).
I'd be grateful of some diagnostic help / suggestions to fix the issue
Thanks
Hi,
Working on a large scale file data migration. Users will be moving to accessing all file shares via (2008 R2) DFS.
We would very much like to be able to see details of the DFS referrals being made? Ideally including usernames (and target).
This is so we can ensure that users are accessing their migrated file shares the 'correct' way and won't loose access whenclassic (UNC shares) they are used to are turned off (replaced by new hidden shares for DFS to point to).
We can monitor connections to the old shares, but would very much like a belt & braces approach where we look forcorrect (via DFS) connections too.
Is it possible to get anything like information?
I have spent several hours searching and reading online and I haven't seen anything that seems to discuss this.
- DFSUtil tool can provide a lot of information, but nothing around this is seems
- Not found a Windows Evenlog with the info
- DFS debug log doesn't appear to contain anything like this
Any insight or pointers appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Migrating from Win2008 --> WIn2012R2 - Robocopy /mir /secfix - Error 0x080070570
I did a migration using a robocopy, to copy files and permissions to a new file server. More than 1 million of files, 800 GB of data
A´ve enabled data deduplication, with a 35% ratio.
All permissions are OK, but...
no one can open any files, MS Office files even PDF files
But regular text files and XML files are OK, i can be read by notepad/IE
CHKDSK shows no errors, it´s a PE R720, all drivers and firmwares updated
But the properties of the volume, shows only 17GB of files stored.
It´s a NTFS volume in a VM, hosted on a WIn2012R2, with RefS and the other 2 Vms are OK
This issue only occurs once per month on an estimate.
When we come in to office in the morning, we will discover our folders permission has been reset and some files are missing.
When we use the restore previous version, we can still find the files or folders in the last SECOND version. The last version will shows some files missing. Usually the last version is after office hours. Is there any possible cause to this issue for example
DFS services, VSS services, etc?
We also found out, if there is a wrongly moved folder e.g c:\123 has been moved to c:\anotherfolder\123, the latest copy will also reflect the wrongly moved folder, e.g. c:\anotherfolder\123 instead of c:\123 (which is right)
This is just like as if the parent folder has been restored to a certain date by an unknown program.
Thank you
I have a file server 2003 with shared folders. I have " FULL CONTROL" on all the folders. However, when someone else saves a document in one of the folders, it opens in READ ONLY mode on my Windows 7 machine, Office 2013. When I log into the server itself, I can make any changes to the file. Not from my windows 7.
any ideas?
thanks
On all of our Windows 2008 R2 File Servers (Some more reproducible then others) on our user shares only when users create a file/folder they can not rename it right away they have to wait 1-30 minutes. Here is an example of the process... Thoughts... This is happening on our Windows 7 & Windows 8 machine to our Windows 2008 R2 servers this does not appear to happen on Windows 2012 File Servers.
Hello,
When I use the Resource Monitor to check the disk usage on our file server, I noticed the file path has "C:0\" or "C:1" at the front. The server is being used to store roaming profiles and redirected user desktop and these files seem to be the redirected ones which are stored physically on a different drive on the server.
Would someone know how that works or can at least point me to some documentation? I've tried searching it but not much returned in the result.
Thanks in advance.

I have a server 2012 R2 running and a few windows 7 pro machines connected to it. File and storage services role is installed with one error 8193 and one warning 2511. My actual problem is I have a lot of excel and word files saved on this server which my users open from their computers. Quite often they are working and the file stops responding and crashes. Office and windows are up to date on all machines and I have confirmed with a continues ping that the computer is not losing connection to the server. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Hi there,
I have got a file-server with 4 2Tb drives with shared folders. All folders are presented in DFS namespace and synchronized with other DFS servers.
I am going to create one huge dynamic disc and move all these folders to this disk to get more benefits from Data deduplication. So the question is - what's the proper way of moving folders which are DFS targets between 2 logical disks?
If I disable/delete the target, move it and then re-enable - it start synchronizing with other servers. BUT! It overwrites all the changes that have been made after disabling. This is a main server, so I need changes FROM it to be synched to others, not TO it.
Thank you.
Artem.
