We have a functional implementation of SCOM 2012R2 running on Windows Server 2012R2. Recently I have begun trying to get the DFS Replication monitoring working; specifically backlog monitoring. However, it seems that only certain monitors are finding success. The fileservers in question are all Windows Server 2012R2 as well.

Our fileservers have begun throwing the following event ID 1102 for many of the rules/monitors from at least one of the DFSR management packs. The rule/monitor names in each of these events begin with one of either [Microsoft.Windows.Fileserver.DFSR.6.3.] or [Microsoft.Windows.Fileserver.DFSR.]. See Below:

Rule/Monitor "Microsoft.Windows.FileServer.DFSR.BacklogDiscovery" running for instance "DFS-14" with id:"{6E648D77-AD11-AADC-E91B-B7F57FAE74C6}" cannot be initialized and will not be loaded. Management group "Tervis"

I have ensured that the action account has administrative privileges, and each node is configured for Proxy. Strangely enough, I found that backlog monitoring normally seems to work at least once, after an agent reinstall; then starts erroring again. This is confirmed by the 'Microsoft Windows DFS Replication->Backlog Monitoring' monitor reflecting updated metrics.

Has anyone resolved this issue or can otherwise provide some direction to be sure configurations are correct?

We have a number of 10.9-10.9.3 - Mavericks - machines installed throughout our facility. Much of the user content is pulled from shares stored on our Windows Server 2012 fileservers with deduplication enabled. I have found that files newly written or unoptimized are able to be accessed without issue - read, written, modified, etc. Once the file gets optomized/deduplicated and Windows adds the P & L attributes - sparse and symlink - the Macs running Mavericks begin to have access issues. Once the files get deduplicated, users begin receiving read access errors when copying files (see error1 below). This happens when copying to folders within the current folder tree or copying somewhere to the local system. If you 'stop' the copy operation and retry a few more times, it may eventually work for the specific instance but fail again later. I am however, able to copy these files without issue via the terminal. Other systems running 10.7 do not experience the same issues and are able to access file server resources without issue. Many of the systems having issues are newer and thus not able to be downgraded to 10.8 or 10.7.

I have tried finder replacements such as Pathfinder but the results are the same. I know this is at least similar to the issues many Mac users are already experiencing and posting about but I haven't seen it directly linked to deduplication and the attributes written by Windows server. Has anyone seen this issue? Have any solutions been found?

Error 1: When copying files after the PL attributes have been set by deduplication.

"One or more items can't be copied to "Foler" because you don't have permissions to read them. **********************************************'

Via the system.log, I am also seeing the following error when accessing these deduplicated file shares. The reparse point tag listed below is "IO_REPARSE_TAG_DEDUP"

Reported error: "smbfs_nget: filename.ext - unknown reparse point tag 0x80000013"

We are currently working to get a new MICR check printer (Troy Micr - HP Laserjet 600 M601) printing correctly with Oracle EBS. Our EBS installation runs on Oracle Enterprise Linux (Redhat Based). The printer itself is shared via a Windows print server and our windows based application can print without issue.

Within EBS, after finally getting the E-13B font (account and routing numbers at the bottom) to print on the checks, we are now finding the check validation fails. The characters that were printed, although using the correct font, are squished together (lacking correct character spacing).

Within the Linux OS, I have tried multiple printer drivers for this printer, PCL and non, but cannot find any consistency or resolve. With some drivers, the bottom text prints correctly but other fields are showing as black boxes instead of text.

Has anyone successfully printed checks using a Troy Micr printer via Linux? This model printer? From Oracle EBS?

We have existing Hyper-V cluster with Windows 2008 R2 and have recently begun creating a new Hyper-V cluster with Windows Server 2012. We recently added a Dell PowerEdge R710 that previously co-existed in a cluster running 2008 R2 Hyper-V. We are now unable to live migrate to/from this new node with the error below. Using CPU-Z, we find that 'AES' is the only cpu instruction that differs between the systems; existing and new.

Without turning on CPU Compatibility for the VM, is there a way to work around this or possibly disable AES on the CPUs that are capable in the cluster. We are not using secure migrations.

The virtual machine 'Bartender10' is using processor-specific features not supported on physical computer 'HYPERVC4N5'. To allow for migration of this virtual machine to physical computers with different processors, modify the virtual machine settings to limit the processor features used by the virtual machine.

We have an Oracle VM Cluster that we are provisioning on a Cisco UCS B series blade chassis. It has 2 fabric interconnects (FC0 and FC1) provisioned to the (3) Oracle VM service profiles and it is set to boot from san with no local storage configured at all. The issue is that each time we reboot the Oracle VM Server, there is about an 80% chance that it will result in the below errors. I have been able to boot all three service profiles up at the same time with no issue at least three times throughout this process.

Setting up Logical Volume Management: /dev/sdq: open failed: No medium found /dev/sdp: open failed: No medium found

Checking filesystems fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=39b6935d-5c93-45aa-b54d-344fa171c40c'

This drops me to a 'Repair filesystem' prompt where a fsck gives me the same error. I am able to mount this uuid and view the data (from withing the Repair filesystem). Running 'blkid' shows that the boot partition and erroring partition's UUIDs match and they are mapped exactly between grub.conf and /etc/fstab.

As a test, I just zoned the fabric switches back to Single initiator, single target for this service profile, but this has provided no positive movement. Are there zoning or specific UCS service profile requirements that need to be met in order to boot from san with Oracle VM? Any help would be appreciated.
