Any trace we can turn on to help PD for IIS running Windows Server Standard 2008 R2 64 bit?
According to the IIS log, there is one occasion that the IIS response to client is lagged fo 9 seconds. It results client application timeout and eventually transaction faile. We do not observe any server performance issue. In fact there is no special event log around few minutes of the incident timestamp.
Any trace we can turn on to help PD?

Re-organising Storage Pool question
Some help please Folks,
I am trying to find a way to re-organise my storage pool. It currently consists of 3x3TB disks. The disks are reporting 94.3% full and I need a lot more space. What I wish to do is change it to 2x3TB + 2x4TB with parity.
I have an idea how to do this and I need advice before I will attempt it.
As I said, I have a single Storage Space in a Storage Pool consisting of 3x3TB disks. It is non parity, non mirrored, thinly provisioned. I cannot therefore remove a disk.
Will this work.
1) Add 2x4TB disks to the Storage Pool.
2) Create a new Storage Space with parity. I need advice on the best options. I will be going from 9TB to 14TB in total and wish to maximize the usable space. I just need to be able to remove one disk.
3) Move all of my data from the original Storage Space to the new. I am assuming that, as I move the data across it will free up space on the original Storage Space and make it available to the new one.
4) This will leave the original storage space empty.
5) I delete the original Storage Space.
5) Because I now have parity, I can remove one of the 3TB disks.
Will it work?
I am running windows 8.1.
I have noticed that, even though I have 3 disks in my Storage Pool each marked as 2.72TB, which you would think would give you 8.16TB, in reality I only have 7.72TB. I am losing .44TB. I wonder why.

How can I identify tiered storage volumes and their storage tiers
Using either PowerShell or some C# magic how can I:
A) Identify a volume drive letter that is Storage Spaces Tiered Storage. (I.E. D:)
B) Identify what Tiered Storage Pools that volume is using.
In the Server Manager -> Storage Pools GUI under Virtual Disks, if I right click on a virtual disk and click properties it says Storage Tiers: Enabled and it lists the drive letter. If someone knows how to get that, that would answer A)
However, I see nothing that indicates what Storage Tier is associated with that volume.
Get-Volume doesn't return anything useful other than drive letters.
Get-StorageTier shows some useful information but nothing to indicate the volumes they are being used on.
Get-StoragePool doesn't seem to help.
Get-VirtualDisk showing the virtual volume with the friendly name however it doesn't indicate if it's tiered or not, or the associated tier or a drive letter.
Hopefully someone here can help?

NFS 4.1 mounts as read only
Hello,
I've exported a nfs 4.1 share over 2012r2 with local mapping. I'm trying to mount it but it mounts as read-only.
I've found the following behaviour: Using Resolve-NfsMappedIdentity to a recently mapped user using guid 0 result is OK: (xxx\administrator or the user that i map, i've tested with several). But if after mapping i try to mount the nfs share and rerun the
resolve-nfsmappedidentity command i get the user like this: administrato (it's not a typo i get it without the xxx\ for the domain or local machine and also without the last letter of the user).
PS C:\> Resolve-NfsMappedIdentity 0
AccountName
Type Id
-----------
---- --
administrato
User 0
any clue? I suspect that it is a bug either on the powershell cmdlet or the nfs behaviour. If that is the case how should I report this bug to Microsoft?
Thanks for your help.

Slow Files Copy File Server DFS Namespace
I have two file servers running on VM both servers are on different physical servers.
Both connect with dfs namespace.
The problem part is both servers never have same copy speed.
Sometime very slow files copy about 1MBps on FS01 and fast copy 12MBps on FS02.
Sometime fast on FS01 and slow on FS02.
Sometime both of them slow..
So as usual I reboot the servers. Doesn't work.
Then I reboot the DC01 also doesn't work. There is another brother DC02.
After I reboot DC02, one of the FS become normal and another FS still slow.
FS01 and FS02 randomly. They never get faster speed together.
Users never complain slow FS because 1MBps is acceptable for them to open word excel etc.,.
The HUGE problem is I don't have backup when the slow FS days.
The problem since two weeks I'm giving up fixing it myself and need help from you expert guys.
Thanks!
DC01, DC02, FS01, FS02 (Win 2012 and All VMs)

SMB Multichannel Configuration Problems
Hello experts,
I have a question regarding SMB multichannel. The background - I have a small home lab with 2 PCs connected to each other via 2 lan cards. On one of the cards I`ve set up 4 vNICs to be used by the management OS and on the other one I just created a shared with management OS virtual switch.
Now I want to limit the SMB traffic on 3 of the vNICs that I created using the new-smbmultichannelconstraint. But I can`t - the SMB always use all of my adapters. I put limitations for the localhost, hostname and FQDN - still the same.
I decided to test something else by disabling SMB multichannel on both PCs for the server and the client part with Set-SmbClientConfiguration and Set-SmbSErverConfiguration. I checked that this setting was applied by using get-smbserverconfiguraiton and get-SmbClientConfiguration. (EnableMultiChannel : False)
But the multichannel continues to work? Am I missing something?
BR,
Svilen

how to change default caching settings on shared folders

so is there any settings in file sever's group policy or registry, so that when we share a folder, the default setting be this option:
" no files or programs from the shared folder are available offline"

Event ID 4625 Logon Failure event
I have a Windows 2012R2 file server that was upgraded from Server 2012. Initially the file server was working and users were able to access their home directories on the single shared folder. A few days ago the server stopped allowing access to the shared
folder and began giving the following event in the security log. I double-checked the local security policies "Allow logon locally" had everyone and "Deny logon locally" had no users or groups. I can login to the server as one of the user
accounts and access that user's homedirectory by mapping to the share\%username%, however, when I try to map from another computer I get the following error: logon failure the user has been granted the requested logon type I disjoined the server from the domain
then rejoined it. I also moved the computer account to the Computers container in AD and rebooted the server (just in case someone had set a group policy). I stopped sharing the shared folder then reshared it with the correct group permissions, which has full
control for share rights and modify for ntfs acls. I've tried adding a test user to the share group with full control then modify ntfs acls. I tried to run sysprep on the server, but it fails with an error that it can't be ran on a machine that has been upgraded
from a previous version of Windows. I ran cacls on the ntfs folders and the permissions are set correctly. Same is true when viewed from the gui. I am out of ideas. Can anyone please assist? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network). The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon. The Network Information fields
indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases. The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request. - Transited services indicate
which intermediate services have participated in this logon request. - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols. - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

Adjusting partition sizes
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine that was assembled and configured by Dell. The Dell support has expired, and I need to make adjustments to the partitions on the RAID array. Here is what I have:
Dell T410 server with a RAID 5 array configured with the following partitions shown in Disk Management (in this order from left to right):
78MB Healthy partition (diagnostics partition I presume)
3GB Recovery partition - primary partition
40GB C: OS partition - primary partition
653GB D: partition - logical drive
Unfortunately, the 40GB OS partition is nearly full. We have plenty of unused space on the D: partition. I would like to shrink the D partition by approximately 100GB, and increase the size of the C: partition.
Is this something that I can do fairly easily?
Can I use the Windows Backup utility to backup the data on the D: partition to an external hard disk, then remove the D: partition, increase the size of the C: partition as needed and then recreate the D: partition and restore the data to the drive?
Or will I have to go about it some other way?
I need to minimize server downtime as much as possible.

DFSR issues between 2k8r2 and 2k12
Hi,
I'm having problems with intermittent replication breaking to one of the spokes of our DFSR setup. There are three sites, A, B, C.
Site A is a spoke, this is the site having problems. (2k8r2)
Site B is the hub. (2k12)
Site C is another spoke, it is replicating in/outbound fine with Site B. (2k8r2)
The sites are connected via site to site VPN links - these do not encounter any problems throughout.
Site A is unable to replicate changes made locally back to Site B. Any changes made on Site B are successfully replicated TO Site A, overwriting any changes that may have been made locally at Site A (due to conflict resolution).
Logs don't seem to indicate any failures aside from a temporary failure due to backups pausing the service. There is a subsequent entry stating that the service has returned approximately 30 seconds later, depending on backup duration.
The outbound replication from Site A will fail intermittently, apparently silently. Restarting the DFSR service appears to be the only way I've been able to successfully re-connect Site A back to Site B.
Cross replication between Site C and Site A is also only working one-way; from Site C to Site A.
Any advice would be appreciated; I'm happy to provide any requested logs.
Thanks.

Windows Server 2012 R2 File Path character limit
I know that the character limit is 256, however I ran into an issue that has me confused.
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server with a Shared Folder on F:\ called FileShare. FileShare has a subfolder Users. I mapped a drive to my user folder \\Server\FileShare\Users\abcdefg to O:\ on a Windows 7 Workstation. On the O: drive, I created a txt file with a file name that was 251 characters in length (that was the max before it wouldn't let me type anymore). I received no errors. Once you ad the ".txt", the 255 character limit is reached.
Now comes the confusing part. When I go on the file server, the actual file path is 277 characters because the file resides on F:\FileShare\Users\abcdefg. When I right click on the file I only get Open, Print, Edit, Open with, and Send to as menu options. I can not delete nor shift+delete the file from the file server itself.
Why was I allowed to create a file name that long in the first place? How can I remove a file like this from the server itself?

2012r2 iSCSI Cluster SAS MPIO
Hi,
we are building a iSCSI failover cluster for Hyper-V and vmWare. We use 3 JBODS directly connected to 2 nodes with dual-SAS. There will be a tiered StorrageSpace with Enclosure-Awarenes. My question now is, which SAS-HDD MPIO policy do i have to set inside the disk settings of the hardwaremanager? Failover or Round-Robin? I think this should be Failover??
Thanks for helping!
