I developed an application that, after running on a Windows computer, generates some files. The files are saved to an internal shared server running Windows Server 2012. However, occasionally, some files are mysteriously deleted after the program runs. Not all generated files are deleted. I initially thought they were being deleted as viruses, but disabling security protection on the Windows server did not help. Could you please help me explore the possible causes and solutions?515Views1like3CommentsI'm curious, is the MS Disk Manager a descendant of Kroll-Ontrack's 1985 Disk Manager®?
I've been doing some research on Kroll's dive into the software industry that led them into data recovery and formation of Ontrack Data Recovery in 1987? Does anyone here know if there was any connection to Microsoft and the MS Disk Manager? I can't post this. I keep getting message to correct highlighted errors, but no such errors exist, and nothing is highlighted. Now I'm getting post flooding error message:?? Post flooding detected (user tried to post more than 2 messages within 300 seconds) Aw, hell with this.534Views0likes1CommentSetupDiGetClassDevs error, error code 6: The handle is invalid
hello: When we used the SetupDiGetClassDevs (&GUID_DEVINTERFACE_STOAGEPORT, NULL, NULL, DIGCF_PRESENT | DIGCF_DEVICEINTERFACE) interface on Windows server2016 to obtain the handle to our storage device, we found that this interface returned INVALID_ HANDLE_ Value, at this point, our storage device is normal. The next time we call this interface, we will return success, although the probability is very low. We have run it many times, only once. May I ask when this interface will report an error? Is there a probability of errors occurring when using this interface normally?321Views0likes0Commentswhy friendlyName is empty in get-disk or get-physicalDisk command
I made a storage driver with storport, I am confident that the correct data is returned in the scsi command, but there is no friendlyName in get-Disk(disk type is sas), and get-physicalDisk command also show incorect friendlyName(friendlyName is ‘Generic Physicall Disk’) by contrast, 'disk driver' in "device manager" showed coreect disk name I can't figure out what problem is, and how to fix it.276Views0likes0CommentsHow to set the corresponding maximum IO size based on different types of disks
HI: In the development of HBA driver for Windows servers 2019 system, I need to set different maximum IO sizes for each disk. How to set the corresponding maximum IO size based on different types of disks. For example, SAS disk configuration is 512KB, NVMe disk configuration is 128KB327Views0likes0CommentsLeveraging Tower Servers with Windows Server for Developers
Hello Microsoft Tech Community, I hope everyone is having a productive and innovative journey with Windows Server. Today, I'd like to initiate a discussion focused on "Windows Server for Developers" with a particular emphasis on tower server configurations. Tower servers can be a powerful tool for developers, and I believe that the collective knowledge of this community can provide valuable insights. Discussion Overview: Developers often rely on Windows Server for various tasks, ranging from software development to testing and deployment. When it comes to tower server configurations, there are specific considerations and opportunities that can benefit developers. Here are some key points for our discussion: Development Environments: How can tower servers be optimized to create robust development environments for Windows Server-based applications? Share your tips and best practices. Testing and Debugging: Tower servers offer flexibility and scalability for testing and debugging applications. What features of Windows Server do you find most useful in this context? Deployment Strategies: Tower servers (https://www.lenovo.com/ch/de/c/servers-storage/servers/towers/) can be used for local or remote deployment of applications. What deployment strategies or tools have you found effective with Windows Server? Resource Allocation: Tower servers come in various hardware configurations. How can developers efficiently allocate resources like CPU, RAM, and storage for their development needs? Request for Insights: I'm initiating this discussion to learn from the diverse experiences of the Microsoft Tech Community. Whether you're a developer, system administrator, or someone passionate about technology, your insights and knowledge are invaluable. Please share your thoughts, experiences, questions, or recommendations related to using Windows Server on tower servers for development purposes. Let's explore how developers can harness the full potential of tower servers in their Windows Server workflows. Thank you in advance for your contributions to this discussion.

I have an application that does high speed (>3000 MB/s) sequential unbuffered writes to large (256GB) pre-allocated files in NTFS. I also perform random unbuffered reads from this volume at a much lower rate when needed, using a block size of around 2MB. Reading and writing at high speed works perfectly almost 100% of the time. However, when I read from (a different part of) the same file that is currently being written, it causes the write speeds to suffer dramatically and queue depths to shrink below 1. The moment writing moves on to another file, the speeds pick back up to where they belong. This is confirmed on Server 2016 and 2019. This could be a difference in I/O scheduling, caching behavior, or something else that is dependent on the file system, but I can't seem to find any documentation on it. What could explain this behavior, and is there a workaround?492Views0likes0Comments
