First published on TECHNET on Oct 14, 2016 In a previous blog post, I discussed setting up the Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service (referred to below as Storage Service) on Windows Server 2012 R2.
DFS Replication in Windows Server 2012 R2 and other goodies, now available on the Filecab blog!
First published on TechNet on Jul 31, 2013 Over at the Filecab blog, AskDS alum and all-around nice guy Ned Pyle has posted the first of several blogs about new features coming your way in Windows Server 2012 R2.Windows Server 2022 as Domain and DHCP Server
Hi, Windows Server 2022 announced. There are many IT Executives or Organizations who use Windows Server only for DNS Server, DHCP Server, managing network resources and implementing group policies. For this purpose, if we compare Windows Server 2012R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022; can we find any differences? Moreover, for those executives or organizations, does it matter Windows Server 2022 announced? Please let us know differences in Windows Server from above perspectives. With Regards NndnG
FSR to DFRS migration sort of broke the GPOs
So, I'm not a guru here, more of a tinkerer. I'm learning on a home lab which has a Win2k12r2 and a Win2k16 server. I ran through the process of transitioning from FSR to DFSR using the "Quick" option outlined here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/streamlined-migration-of-frs-to-dfsr-sysvol/ba-p/425405 I was able to complete every step successfully. I thought everything worked just fine. Unfortunately, it did not. While the Sysvol share is visible under SYSVOL_DFSR, it's not populated with anything. Furthermore, there is no NETLOGON directory. I see my GPOs under the GPM console, but when I go to edit them, I get an error that says "Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You might not have the appropriate rights." The error then says the following under the details "The system cannot find the path specified." I am however, able to create a new policy. Does someone mind helping me our here? I don't know if the DFSR removes the need for a NETLOGON, which is why that folder doesn't exist. I also don't know why nothing seems to have been copied over from SYSVOL to SYSVOL_DFSR. Since the procedure deleted the SYSVOL folder, I can't check to compare the permissions, but from what I can tell, the permissions on SYSVOL_DFSR are there, so I'm going to assume that they're the right permissions?
