Hi,

File share cluster: NAS

Nodes: NAS01, NAS02

File share is running on NAS02, I have created a group "management" in NAS02 and assigned it to a shared folder. Also FSRM is applied on this folder.

Once file share moved to NAS01, I found FSRM can be found in NAS01 but group "management" can't.

Only ID shown. Is normal or I also need to add "management" on NAS01 ??

Thanks

Server 2012 Predefinded Folders Help Needed.

Greetings,

I upgraded from WHS2011 to S2012E, I need to stop sharing and delete the predefined "Shared Folders" folder. I always create my own shares. Does any ones know how to accomplish this? When I try to stop sharing it,  I get "Error 3321- The share must be removed from the Distributed File System before it can be deleted". I was able to un-share the rest but the main Shared Folders folder.

Also, is there's any way to remove the error on the Dashboard View "Folder is Missing" once you un-share the folders?

Thanks in advance!

Enterprise PKI

I have a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server which I ran PKIVIEW on.  Will this affect my server.  It is displaying Enterprise PKI and I do not know if this is only for Enterprise servers or is there no core relation in the name Enterprise. I forgot to mention that this is a domain controller with Active Directory already installed.  I ran pkiview from Internet Explorer from the server.

Thank You



default boot partition windows 2008

Hello

I have 2008 r2 standard server, and after a series of unfortunate events, it comes up with a dual boot partition choice when booting, with the default being a non-bootable partition so I have to hit the down arrow to select the correct partition when it boots.

My question is, can I get rid of the options all together and just have it boot to the C: partition again?

thanks!

Add-WindowsFeature sometimes fails with error 0x800f0902 - The operation cannot be completed because Windows is currently performing another servicing operation

I have a problem with this feature. In PowerShell, overall it works fine, but sometimes it gives me the following error:

Add-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

Installationof one or more roles, role services, or features failed.

The operation cannot be completed because Windows is currently performing another servicing operation.

Wait a few minutes and try running the command again. Error: 0x800f0902

At line:1 char:1

+ Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Features,NET-Framework-Core,NET-Framework-45-Fe...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo         : InvalidOperation: (@{Vhd=;Credent...Name=localhost}:PSObject) [Install-WindowsFeature],

    Exception

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DISMAPI_Error__Failed_To_Enable_Updates,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureCommand

It seems that either the SCEP Update/Scan or the Automatic Maintenance (in the Action center) causes the Add-WindowsFeature to fail. Is there a way to check if these are active and/or wait until these are done, before I install my Windows feature? This way at least the installation should always succeed.

Like I said, most of the time, it works fine; (for reference:) I use the following commands:

Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Features,NET-Framework-Core,NET-Framework-45-Features,NET-Framework-45-Core,NET-Framework-45-ASPNET -Source "path to sources share"

Also added this question to my own blog:

Help required with ADFS 3.0 client certificate authentication

$

Hi,

I am currently working on integrating ADFS 3.o for Single Sign On to some 3rd party services along with PKI solution. The basic requirement is that I should be able to choose client authentication certificate as an authentication method in ADFS and then federate user credentials to 3rd party trust for single-sign-on.

I had done this successfully with ADFS 2.0 and that setup is working fine. I have the setup as ADFS 3.0 client authentication method enabled. When I open browser to logon, the ADFS 3.0 page displays a message as "Select a certificate that you want to use for authentication. If you cancel the operation, please close your browser and try again." but the certificates are not displayed for selection.

The certificates are valid and have valid chaining to CA. Could someone help me resolve this issue?

Thanks!

server 2008 - local security policy vs. domain security policy

Whenever I make changes in start-program-A.tools-Local security policy,  e.g. in a/c policy settings, I found the same settings reflect to domain security policy gpo. i.e. Domain security policy gpo inherits from local security policy.  But if i edit domain gpo,  the "local security policy" does not change.

this is confusing me.  what is the relation between gpedit.msc & domain security gpo options.

pls. help me...

 

Need advice on my BSOD error on Server 2008 standard 32 bit

I support 50+ servers that are all configured the same.  As of Jan 2014 I started to get about one or two BSOD errors a week.  There have been a few weeks where I do not get any.  I have the servers set to record a MEMORY.DMP file but the particular BSOD does not generate a MEMORY.DMP file.  The BSODs happen at different times of the day.  The event logs do not show any unusual errors.  I had no software or windows updates that happened in Jan 2014.  Dell Open Manage does not show any errors.  I have run Diagnostics against these servers and the diagnostics show no errors.  Has anyone else had this issue? 

My BSOD is listed below:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xEC345048, 0x00000000, 0xE1FC92BF, 0x00000000)

Scheduled Task not running on startup - Server 2008 R2

Hello,

We have 2 tasks that are set to run on system startup, but unfortunately they do not seem to do so, and there is no error when I log on to the server after a recent reboot.  I have verified all the configuration of the task (it does connect to network resources - SQL server, SNMP trap from Avaya PBX) and ensure the domain account running is a local administrator and set to allow to run the task if logged in or not.

Has anyone experienced this before and is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Scheduled task not running on Windows Server 2008 but working on Windows XP

$

Hi,

I have created a console application using .NET 3.5 framework for fetching data from the oracle database and sending it as an attachment via email.

Using the task scheduler I have scheduled a task to run the console application's .exe file at 9 AM every day.

The task is scheduled properly and works fine on a Windows XP machine and doesn't work on windows 2008 server.

When the task is run for the first time on XP and installation prompt is displayed. Once the installation is done from the next time onwards the task is getting executed as scheduled without any issues.

In case of windows server 2008, I did not get any installation prompt, so I went ahead and double clicked the .exe file to install it on the server and scheduled it. I am getting a 'success' message every time it executes, but the data is not being sent as a mail which means the .exe program is not executed. I have used domain credentials as well as the machine's administrator credentials to verify this.

I have also checked the firewall settings and there is no issue with it as it is turned off.

I have checked the logs in event viewer, but no error messages have been logged.

Please let me know if there is a solution to this issue.

Thank you.

Scheduled task won't run .bat file

$

Hi. On Windows Server 2008 I have a scheduled task that calls a .bat file. The fist step in the .bat file is write to a log file to the same directory in which the .bat file exists. This allows me to find out if it is ever run. When the .bat file is run from a command prompt it runs as expected writing to the log file and completing its actions. My problem is that when I run the scheduled task manually or allow it to run when scheduled it appears to run but the .bat file is never run. No log file is ever created. The History tab in the properties of the scheduled tasks shows the task being started and running then completing with an operation code of 2. I've disabled the UAC for the user account. I've set the task to run as the Administrator user and verified the permissions for that user. I know the password is correct for the task because I can make changes to the properties and save those changes with the username/password. I'm at a loss for further troubleshooting steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why these .bat files are not being run?
