Kvad's questions

we are running an on-prem traditional RDS setup.

1. We are using fslogix for profiles - users are getting profile issues where the user profiles are unable to mount. Essentially getting logged in with temp user profiles.

2. We've discovered deleting the cloud cache of the user profile will fix when possible to delete that. Removed the following files in cloud cache: a. Profile_username.VHDX b. Rw.vhdx

3. However in some situations RW.vhdx isn't able to be deleted, "the file is in use".

4. The file is not mounted.

5. There are no uses/lock of the file in ProcessExplorer, resource monitor or ofview.

6. AV is off.

Short of restarting is there another way to release the lock on the file or determine what is holding the lock?

edit: using handle gives the following

C:\Users\admin\Downloads\Handle>handle.exe "D:\ProgramData\FSLogix\Cache\user1\RW.VHDX"

System             pid: 4      type: File          922C: D:\ProgramData\FSLogix\Cache\user1\RW.VHDX.meta
System             pid: 4      type: File          A1CC: D:\ProgramData\FSLogix\Cache\user1\RW.VHDX



C:\Users\admin\Downloads\Handle>handle.exe -c A1CC -p 4

A1CC: File  (---)   D:\ProgramData\FSLogix\Cache\user1\RW.VHDX
Close handle A1CC in System (PID 4)? (y/n) y
Error closing handle:
The handle is invalid.

I have external contractors sitting in my office that have access to various file shares via Citrix (they are not on our internal network).

These contractors require printing.

Is there a way to enable printing to a network printer from a program not in Citrix (having them print in Citrix is not an option currently, due to them needing to print from specific programs not in Citirx)?

Or do I just have to use something like papercut's webprint (not as nice as they can't just print directly to a printer)?

Attempting inplace upgrade of Windows Server 2012 (x64) to R2 (x64)

Server is virtual (vmware) ISO downloaded from VLSC

Login to Windows run setup.exe

Installer quits with the following error (at the end of the first phase of the install):

[Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance.]

I've tried this with a new install of 2012 and upgrade to R2 with the same media -> no issues

Installed straight 2012R2 with no issues as well from the same iso.

Tried mounting the iso in Windows -> same error

Extracted iso -> same error

I've also tried both getting updates and not getting updates for Windows Setup.

Not sure where to go from here. Any help / suggestions would be great.

Windows Server 2012 - Attempting to setup a file server using DFS

I have the following scenario:

Namespace: \\domain\resources

Folder without targets:
Files > \\domain\resources\files

Folders with targets:
Clients > \\domain\resources\files\clients
Restricted > \\domain\resources\files\restricted

I want to create a drive map at the following level
\\domain\resources\files\clients

I also want \\domain\resources\files\restricted as a folder inside of \\domain\resources\files\clients. So end result would be \\domain\resources\files\clients\restricted points to \\domain\resources\files\restricted

This is possible? Or do I have to accept the fact I will have to look at mapping \\domain\resources\files then having people update their links in various files?

I could achieve this by using a symbolic link but this would not be replicated by DFS, also it would needed to be done per server.

Update: Basically I want to symlink restricted into the clients folder.

I am running squid 2.x. When trying to use websockets in my web application I get the following in my squid logs

13/Jun/2012:10:05:08 +1000    558 192.168.19.76 TCP_MISS/100 199 POST http://api.pusherapp.com/apps/21932/channels/2830b5dd-e75b-4788-ae4a-6da903460d22/events? - DIRECT/107.22.252.43 -

TCP_MISS/100 indicates that the service is returning the wrong thing from what I can see.

What can I do to fix this?

Should I be enabling this feature on a file server?

What type of performance hit is involved with this?

I ask as its not something I can easily turn off once on.

Trying to get mssql support for php working with IIS6

I require Microsoft Drivers 2.0 for SQL Server for PHP.

v3 was just released but requires NativeClient2012 (doesnt support win2k3)

All links for v2 now forward to v3.

Is there any other way to add support for this?

I'm having issues with a Win7 x64 client

SCCM2007 R3 / Server 2008 R2 SP1

SCCM thinks that the software is not installing properly (exit code 1) , and hence retries to reinstall due to on fail retry rules.

I've checked the client machine - event logs report success. Program itself reports success. Program works fine as well.

Is there something that I can set on the client to stop reinstall attempts?

When enabling the group policy 'auto update check period override' to disable all auto update checks deploying chrome via group policy takes 7 minutes to install

I get the following error in the event log.

The description for Event ID 0 from source gupdate cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Service stopped

If I don't enable the policy installation is fine, but I do not want silent updates - i want to be able to roll out updates after we have tested them.

We have been using Internet Access Monitor in the past to analyze our ISA logs.

This is now playing up (inconsistent data when comparing to logs from within ISA Server Management.

Any suggestions on what I should be using instead for this?

In particular we are trying to see a staff's bandwidth usage by source.

We are currently attempting to installing the sccm to clients but we have found that the push method is very hit and miss.

Server: Server 2008 R2 SCCM 2007 R3

Clients: Win7 x64

Issue with push: Client is listed in SCCM collections Reimage client using WDS SCCM does not attempt to reinstall client. (Unless I delete the client from collections)

I've also tried deploying via GPO (msi) but as part of other GPO installs a reboot stops its process. This causes it to fail - even though its suppose to retry every 10 minutes.

Note. WSUS is not itegrated in SCCM.

I'm stumped.

Using a domain environment UAC is on

Is there a way to enable users to create file shares without needing elevated permissions?

Thanks!

We are looking into various Office 2010 deployment methods currently.

I was wondering what people suggest?

Currently I am doing it via start up script (ugh) as MS doesn't allow it to install via MSI and GPO.

SCCM is an option, but should I be looking into using App-V instead of SCCM ?

I have the following server

Windows Storage Server 2008 x64 SP2 Xeon L5520 @ 2.27 12GB RAM DAS MD1000i running RAID10 15k SAS drives.

It is running DFS as a file server for ~100 users

Memory usage on this server keeps increasing without showing what is using the RAM in process explorer and taskmanager.

I have private bytes and working set columns showing

Over the span of a week (starting at around 3GB used) the RAM usage gets to the point where the system no longer has enough resources and no longer responds.

Process Explorer currently shows physical usage at 80%, but I can only account for ~2GB of RAM being used.

I've mostly used Server 2003 in the past and starting to use 2008, am I missing something here?

Thanks.

I have

Server1 Win2008 Storage Server Running DFS Access-based enumeration - off Offline settings - disabled

Workstation1 WinXP SP3 32bit

Workstation2 WinXP SP2 64bit

I have a shared folder on Server1 on the DFS share. Workstation1 can see all files and folders. Workstation2 does not. I have tested with multiple WinXP 64bit PCs and the same files across these machines do not show up. Going directly to the files via the address bar works.

I am currently setting up a file server with win2k8 server r2 (storage server) I was wondering is there something I can use to audit/log what happens?

For example

JSmith moved Folder1 to Root. JSmith created XYZ folder.

etc. Directory Monitor doesn't show users (which is important) http://www.deventerprise.net/Projects.aspx

Obviously something with low overhead would be awesome too.

Thanks in advance

Running Windows XP SP3

AUTOCOMPLETE checkboxes are indeed selected under CONTENT TAB and ADVNCED TAB in options.

Autocomplete web addresses works.

Tried so far. Removed IE8 reinstalled. Cleared TEMP internet files Rebooted after changes Cleared save autocomplete options cleared password and form data, rebooted. Turned autocomplete on for all 3 fields. Reinstalled IE8 many times. Removed IE8. Reinstalled IE8. It just won't save any form field in an web page I visit.

I even added a new user added to ADMIN group and that person has same issue also. So not applicable to my admin username.

ProtectedStorage server is running.

System File Check did not find anything.

--

In the registry in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Intelliforms there should be 3 subkeys

SPW Storage1 Storage2

On a PC that does work IE8 XP SP3, these subkeys are quite full of data. On the PC that does not work, these Subkeys were missing.

I manually added the three subkeys, rebooted and still did not work.

Google search is not helping on this one.

I currently have a T5500 with a Broadcom on-board NIC.

System specs:

Windows XP x64 SP2
12gb RAM
Broadcom NetXtreme 5761
BIOS is updated to the latest - A02.

I can successfully bind the PC to our domain but on reboot group policy does not get applied

I get the following error:

Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below. The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available.

I also get W32Time issues in the event log

The time provider NtpClient was unable to find a domain controller to use as a time source. NtpClient will try again in 15 minutes.

The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.

The time provider NtpClient was unable to find a domain controller to use as a time source. NtpClient will try again in 15 minutes.

These occur before I get this

Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller: Driver initialized successfully.

That is the next entry in the event log.

It seems that the NIC is not initializing before attempts to sync time etc and its messing everything up.

I've updated NIC with Dell drivers, tried Broadcom drivers - still no go.

Windows Firewall off.

Configured this Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System ->Logon From the right hand pane double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon”

Did not help.

Using an Intel NIC plugged into a PCI slot fixed this, but this is not a solution for computers we've just bought.

-- In the event log With the broadcom card, the w32time services attempts to sync -fail, then the nic starts up.

Using the Intel NIC the NIC starts up first and then the w32time sync happens. Is there a way to delay or make w32time dependent on the NIC starting up?

I am running an IIS 6 FTP Server on a Windows Server 2003 computer (lets call it FTPPC), connected to a domain (lets call it DOMAIN).

Allow anonymous connections is off, so a user requires a domain account to connect to the ftp. The user connects to the ftp using DOMAIN\USERNAME

The root of the ftp is pointing at E:\FTP-ROOT\, and inside are 2 folders: \PATH1\ \PATH2\

There is a Virtual Directory called PATH1 pointing to a UNC share on another pc on the domain (called DOMAINPC), set to "always use the authenticated users credentials". When connected to the ftp, a user can browse to this and will see the contents successfully.

There is also a Virtual Directory called PATH2 pointing to a UNC share on a pc that is NOT CONNECTED to the domain (called NODOMAINPC).

I have created a user on NODOMAINPC called USER1, and creating the exact same username on FTPPC with an identical password on both accounts.

In the "connect as" section for the PATH2 virtual directory, I have tried multiple things with different results:

Set the username to FTPPC\USER1 - when trying to browse the virtual directory over ftp, the error is "Access is denied" Set the username to NODOMAINPC\USER1 - when trying to browse the virtual directory over ftp, the error is "Logon failure: unknown user or bad password" Set the username to USER1 - when trying to browse the virtual directory over ftp, the error is "Access is denied"

Can this be done? And if so, where am I going wrong? I can connect to the UNC path via windows, just not via ftp.

Thanks

I am getting the following error for WSS3

Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search Event Category: Gatherer Event ID: 2424 User: N/A Description: The update cannot be started because the content sources cannot be accessed. Fix the errors and try the update again.

Context: Application 'Search', Catalog 'index file on the search server Search'

Search used to work in the past - I've made sure that it is not using any built in accounts. I've tried creating new accounts as well and reverting to using an older account.

Still no luck.

TIA.
