Have seen several other people with this issue. Is there something that I am missing? Had a disk fail, replaced it following the guidelines laid out. The virtual disk will not repair, repair finishes in 1 second and the virtual disk stays
in the degraded state.

Strange folder/share name mismatch
File server is 2012 R2; we recently had a user name change, and now nobody off-server can access the directory via unc of the old or new name. The root share containing this directory is the only thing directly shared; the user's home is shared implicitly. When viewing this user's home directory in Windows Explorer on the server, the Name column does not match what the Filename column says - Filename displays the old name.
What is going on here? For now I'm copying all the user's files to a newly created directory as a workaround.

File Server Resource Manager PowerShell module missing in Windows 8 RSAT
It appears that the File Server Resource Manager PowerShell module does not get installed with the final version ofRSAT for Windows 8 (not sure if twas this was the case with the preview versions or not). Everything else appears to be there as far as I can tell - dirquota.exe and the FSRM MMC snap-ins get installed. I tried toggling the feature in "Windows Features" but it did not help.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is this by design or a mistake in the packaging?
Thanks,

DFS Namespace on a RODC
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to configure an AD integrated DFS Namespace on a RODC
(2008R2) so that if a wan link is down the users in a branch site can access
that namespace server for referrals after a client reboot. At the moment I
can't get this to work. I've used this configuration successfully with regular
DCs for years, so I'm sure it's something to do with the fact I'm trying to get
this to work on an RODC.
Should this work? Or is it not possible to configure an accessible DFS Namespace on an
RODC? It strikes me that despite configuring the namespace server to run on the
RODC in the branch site that clients may not even be using it regardless of the
wan connectivity.
If the link is down clients are unable to resolve the dns name for the domain and namespace
(e.g. domain.local), I think because RODCs don't register themselves in DNS
like regular DCs. What I don't seem to understand is how exactly the client
obtains the list of namespace servers. Surely if the client has access to an
RODC it should be able to obtain the list from AD, find and then connect to the
available namespace server (that's also installed on the RODC)? I looked at
this article (here) and the client referral process involves connecting
to a domain controller to obtain a list of namespace servers, but in my case
the client gives up when it can't find \\domain.local\dfs\folder target\ despite
there being a namespace server ready to reply in the local site.
Any assistance much appreciated!

Combining Work Folders and Folder Redirection
As I am sure everyone realises, the offline files and folder redirection system is far from perfect!
I have seen the new Work Folders in Server 2012 R2, and would like to use this for user data. There are a few questions I have:
1. I am wondering if it is possible/acceptable to combine this with folder redirection?
2. Where is the recommended location to store the work folders? Is it ok to redirect documents to the group policy default %USERPROFILE%\Work Folders\Documents?
3. If AppData Roaming is redirected to a work folder, and it has yet to be synchronised will this cause issues on the first logon with duplicated windows AppData, e.g. the TaskBar etc.
Thanks in advance

DFSR Replication Partners shows to be in sync but no data is copied
Hi,
I have 2 DFS servers in two datacenters. We have created a replication group with 3 replication folders. The health report and wmic command indicate that the servers have completed the initial sync however most of the data is not copied. I do not see any error in the report as well or in eventviewer.
Has anybody faced such an issue? What could be the possible solution.

Any ideas?

Setting Folder Permissions
Hi All,
I'm struggling to assign relevant permissions to a confidential folder for users to write to the folder, but not be able to access it and read/edit information within.
I have been provided a macro-enabled spreadsheet, which standard users will need to fill out each month, and when they hit save, a copy will be placed within the confidential folder on our File Server (Running Windows Server 2012 R2).
The users will need permissions to write into the folder, as otherwise the macro will throw an error on the screen. Ideally, the users will not be able to navigate manually to the folder, as this will mean they will be able to see other user's information, and potentially edit.
Is the scenario I am looking at possible? And if not, how close can I get using Special Permissions on this folder?
Many thanks,
Tom

measure-dedupfilemetadata error
When I try this command, even on the smallest of folders I Get this error:

The system has 4GB of memory total, and 3GB free at this moment. Any ideas on how I can get accurate information for the size of the folder? MS recommends 350MB free for each 1TB duplicated, and this system has an 8TB volume with 4GB of memory.
The cmdlets that provide info at the volume level are working just fine, but not this one which measures at the folder level.

Unable to Netbios to a 2012 R2 server from any Windows 2003 R2 servers

I recently built many Windows 2012 R2 servers that serve as file and print appliances. However, I am unable to NETBIOS to one of these servers from any Windows 2003 R2 Servers, neither with the name nor the IP. Below is the screenshot of the error that I get. I am able to ping the server fine from the 2003 R2 servers.

DFS between 2 SQL Failover clusters a seperate sites
I have 2 clusters running without issues. 1 is located in a branch office and 1 is located in our datacenter. These clusters are providing a HA SQL 2008 R2 services. At the branch site we have a nightly backup that dumps to a backup drive. That drive is a resource of the SQL Application. This works great as no matter what server is currently active it owns the shared backed drive.
I want to use DFS to move that backup to a datacenter now. Here's what I did
1) I added the Files servers (dfs, and replication) to both nodes at the remote site, and both nodes in the Datacenter
2) Added the file server resource to the SQL application group at the remote site and created a "replicate" share
3) added the files server resource to the SQL application group at the datacenter and added a "replicate" share
4) Now I try to create the replication group. I think I have to use the SQL client access point. When I do it seems to accept it but when I have to specify the "Add a folder to replicate", I get an error "myserver.mydomain.com: It is not possible
to enumerate the physical disk drives in the cluster resource group. The cluster group could not be found". The folder I am trying to add is G:\replicate. I can map a drive remotely to \\branchserver\replicate without any problems. Failover works great
but I can't add it as a replicate target.
Just a note, I tried the actual host name of the remote site server to no avail. I also tried the cluster name to no avail
The SQL Client Access point gets me the furthest but I still get the enumeration error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

DFS + ABE strange behavior if user is on the remote site
Hi guys,
i have one question. We have few sites and all of them have local file shares, AD and whole infrastructure. If user that has mapped DFS on Fileshare in site A goes to remote site B, ABE on FS-A starts behaving strangely. It's mainly hiding what user should see. Any ideas?
P.s. Once user reports this, if we disconnect mapped DFS and reconnect it again all is fine. Like, on the initial mapping of the DFS token was not read correctly...
Any ideas?
