.lnk files appearing in share
Hi all,
I have an issue on a server. The files within a network share keep changing to .lnk files. There are hundreds of files not just a few.
This happened last week and i thought i had resolved it by taking ownership of the folder and using the ATTRIB command to reset all attributes on all files, then deleted all the shortcuts.
Today the problem has returned and i dont have a clue what to do.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

System.AccessViolationException when moving app to server 2008R2 64bit
We are switching to Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit servers and are seeing some issues. Our windows services are throwing "System.AccessViolationException" exception in the windows event log. We never had this issue on our old windows 2003 32bit servers. The only app change was a recompile as a 64bit app.
I don't know if it's a code issue, or a server setup issue. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen?
Here are two of the stack traces.

Understanding Boot.ini and first boot drive sequence.
I have a boot.ini below on a 2003 server. I think that some of the lines have been swapped (see Line B. & C. ) over the years with drives going bad etc. (although thats not my question for the moment)
I have added the A. & B. for simplicity of discussion.
I hope that I can explain my questions clearly.
There are many articles on the syntax of the individual lines in the boot.ini but Im confused a little on the sequence of lines.
I always use to think that the booting of the comptuer read line A. and then just booted, But now Im lead to believe that it reads from line A. and then from Line B. (which is really the same as line A. Accept that normally it has a few parameters on it like /fastdetect etc.)
The reason Im interested in this is because I have seen where Line A and line B if they are different the system will not boot and will give ntldr type message.
Thanks.

Event ID 1000 Source Application Error
Hi,
We have an application that when they run some reports crashes all the time with the following event ID. This is the complete details of this event. I am very positive this has to do with the NTDLL.DLL crash and some conflict with the application, but appreciate if someone knows what is going on. This is happening not only on one server but on several servers. These servers are Citrix servers (XenApp 6 running Hotfix Rollup Pack1). I am not sure whether there is a hotfix that is causing this problem or if some MS hotfix needs to be installed to eliminate this.

Remove inherited NTFS permissions on 835 sub folders.
Hi,
We have a root folder F:\Users
Below this there are 835 user folders.
These all inherit permissions from the parent folder.
Thay each also have the user account added with Full permissions.
I need to stop all 835 folders from inheriting permissions from the F:\Users parent folder.
I also need each user folder to retain their current permissions.
I can right click a folder - Properties - Security - Advanced - clear the Allow Inheritable Permissions check box - select Copy and I get the required result.
I don't want to do this 835 times!
If I select multiple user folders and try and view the Security tab I can't - Permission cannot be displayed because they are different....
Is there a command line to accomplish this on all the sub folders?
Cheers,
Anthony.

Unable to download/view file on website
Greetings group,
I'm having an issue when trying to browse to, then download a file from a website with Internet Explorer 9 on Server 2008 Enterprise. When I try to download a file, it appears that Internet Explorer
9 doesn't recognize the file type. I get the option to open, save or save as when I click on the file. If I choose to open it, the file opens in another Internet explorer window. If we try to save or save as, the download doesn't complete.
It appears that IE is renaming the document. If we click on the file and choose to save or save as, the file name
appears to change from document.csv to document_csv.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer x.x.x.x using any of the configured protocols.
I get this message on a domain controller that i just put into production, running windows server 2008 r2, AD 2003. This gets generated almost everytime i reboot the server. It occurs 4 times in succession relating once to each of our external dns forwarders. I have checked that DCOM uses tcp/ip. I do not believe this to be impacting us significantly however i do prefer to know what this means and how to prevent it.
Thanks

Upgrade SBS 2008 to 2012?
We have a small company with a single server and one SBS 2008 license. For reasons I won't go into, I need to rebuild the box in the next week or two. We don't really need everything SBS has to offer - primarily just the server (file sharing, IIS) and Exchange. Is there any kind of upgrade path that would allow me to install 2012 and then install/upgrade the Exchange from SBS? I don't like the idea of installing the SBS 2008 if there's an imminent upgrade to 2012 - I prefer a clean install.
Thanks!
Brad.

Event ID 4656 - Repeatedly in Security Event log
Hi Everybody,
I'm investigating an issue where this event ID is being repeatedly being logged on my server 2008 r2 box. The server is running Dynamics AX 2012, SQL Server, IIS and has the latest updates installed. The server is a VM running on ESX. The event looks like this:
A handle to an object was requested.

Privileges Used for Access Check: -

What I'm wondering specifically is why is the plugplaymanager generating this event repeatedly. I do have object access auditing enabled for success and failure, but there are no other events being generated in large numbers. I know we can turn off auditing or modify auditing and the event will be suppresed. I would rather find out why the event is popping up rather than suppressing it.
Thanks for any help!

How to expand hidden system reserved partition on Server 2008 from 100MB
Running Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 I tried to take a bare metal backup using the bundled Server Backup program. This fails due to lack of space which, I understand from reading these forums, is due to a volume shadow needing more than 40MB free space in the hidden system reserved partition. I have been advised to increase its size from 100MB to 450MB. I have done this using Gparted to take 350MB off the main partition and shifting it along. Problem is, the machine doesn't boot now.
So I restored the disk to the state it was in using the image I took earlier. But I still want to be able to take a backup of the system volume. How can I adjust the MBR to reflect the new position of the boot volume please ? Or possibly merge the two partitions ?
Thanks.

Server 2008 r2 Event log Event ID 4740
This event ID basically logs if an account becomes locked out. To my understand, regardless if the account exists in Active Directory or not, it will still log that account as being locked out. So someone can type in a random user name like "dsada" and it will still create a log for it. Is there a way I can stop it from creating logs for specific account lock outs or is it an all or nothing type deal?
I ask this because I have a monitoring system that keeps reporting people are logging in with the account "Admin" and it's being locked out on the server even though we don't have an account named "Admin". So I want Windows to stop logging Evt ID 4740 when ever someone attempts to log in with 4740.

Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise, applications hangs, print spooler crashes (hp deskjet plotters mapped)
Multiple users reporting office 2010 apps, ArcGIS crashing/hangs. Found a common error in EV System logs,
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Spooler service. event id 7011, keywords 0x8080000000000000, process id 736, thread 12544.
All users reporting this problem have hp designjet plotters mapped (mostly t1200/1300). By restarting print spooler and removing the plotter from devices and printers issue can be temporarily fix. Firmware upgraded on plotter.
Are there more companies out there experiencing this problem?so far no fix from Microsoft and hp on this Issue.

Task Scheduler does not properly redirect sysout/syserr from a Powershell script to a log file?
(Cross posted from a Powershell forum. Is there a separate forum for Task Scheduler? All the other Task Scheduler questions seemed to be here...)
Why do I have to create a separate, one line batch file wrapper just to get sysout/syserr redirection to work from Task Scheduler? Why can't Task Scheduler just...not...suck?
I'm dumbfounded how one command works fine in a cmd window, but the exact same command fails in Task Scheduler? Is there anyone from M$ lurking here who knows the details of Task Scheduler - does it just launch a cmd process, then run the configured
command?
x.ps1:
$DebugPreference = 2
$VerbosePreference = 2
$WarningPreference = 2
hostname.exe
Write-Host "host"
Write-Output "output"
Write-Error "error"
Write-Verbose "verbose"
Write-Warning "warning"
Write-Debug "debug"
From a cmd window:
del .\x_command.log
powershell -command ".\x.ps1" > ".\x_command.log"
works as expected, here is the output:
MYMACHINENAME
host
output
E:\SAS\Config\Utilities\x.ps1 : error
At line:1 char:8

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,x.ps1
VERBOSE: verbose
WARNING: warning
DEBUG: debug
As you can see, the outputs are slightly different between the -command and -file invocation parameters. Why...who knows? Poor quality control and testing in Remond?
Using Task Scheduler: I ran the task under my login userid credentials to replicate the environment of the cmd window.
(manually delete .\x_command.log)
powershell -command ".\x.ps1" > ".\x_command.log"
Does not work, but at least it created a file, here is the output:
MYMACHINENAME
output
<end of file>
(manually delete .\x_file.log)
powershell -file ".\x.ps1" > ".\x_file.log"
Does not work, does not create a file
I've spent hours just trying to get Task Scheduler to do simple redirection to a file!!!
Next on the agenda is seeing if something like cmd /c "powershell -file .\x.ps1 > .\x.log" will work, without having to create the separate batch file wrapper. But what a convoluted mess just to get Task Scheduler to work in a way that makes sense.
(I admit this is tangentially related to Powershell, I'll also cross post this to a Task Scheduler group if there is one...)

Windows 2003 Server - The Server service hung on starting
Hi,
I have a Windows 2003 SP2 server used for Enterprise Vault (Exchange archive solution) and when the server is rebooted at night the Windows server service hangs on starting with error 7022. It only seems to have happened within the last few months, but the event logs do not go back far enough for me to check exactly when.
After the server service fails, the following services also fail in the following order:
-------------
7001 The Print Spooler service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:
After starting, the service hung in a start-pending state.
7001 The Computer Browser service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:
After starting, the service hung in a start-pending state.
7001 The Enterprise Vault Admin Service service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error:
After starting, the service hung in a start-pending state.
7022 The Automatic Updates service hung on starting.
--------------
The server service eventually starts although there are no entries in the event log on the server to suggest this. The other services remain stopped.
I have followed article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319127 and changed the spooler service to rely on the server service but this made no difference.
The problem I have is that Enterprise vault is unavailable until the morning as the main service (Enterprise Vault Admin Service) never starts because the server service hung on starting. We have monitoring software that could start the relevant services if required, but I would prefer to find out why the server service is failing.
Any help would be appreciated.

DNS issue on workstations
I have a site with two internet connections, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. We have two servers set up, both are domain servers. They are replicating the DNS properly without any errors. I recently moved to a new Exchange server and everything was working fine for at least 4 days. Originally, 10.0.0.2 was the default gateway (workstations use for internet access) but yesterday, for some reason it quit working.
I figured it was an internet problem so I switched the default gateway from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2 but even after refreshing the DNS on the workstations, I still don't have any internet access on the workstations.
I called the internet service provider and they are experiencing DNS issues.
I have internet access from both servers, 10.0.0.1 is the Exchange server and 10.0.0.2 is the file and print server with the gateway now at 10.0.0.1.
I'm missing something in the diagnoses. What can I look for to resolve this problem?

Migrate user profiles from Windows Server 2008 R2
We are looking for a method of coping domains user profiles (AppData and Documents) from a Server running Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2 to a hardware upgrade running the same OS. Our desktop solution has always been USMT (scanstate to a network share, then loadstate to the destination PC). However, this method is not supported by Windows Server Operating Systems. We have looked at third party applications to handle this task but, applications seem to end support at Windows 7. The Servers we maintain house about 250 user profiles, so we need a reliable method to run these migrations. We currently use CommVault as a backup solution on these particular Servers, but a profile cannot be restored until a user first logs onto the new machine and a subsequent profile is created.
If anyone has a suggestion on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--Todd
