I have a strange issue going on in my environment that has me beating my head against the wall. Windows 2003 Domain - 3 2003 Domain controllers running DNS & WINS. DFS Root - 3 domain controllers all as root replicas DFS Target - 1 2003 Windows server hosting all software to be deployed Affected Clients - any OS I've deployed software to - XP, 7, 2003, 2008 Software installation has worked fine, but stopped working abruptly in the past week or so. The error in the logs of the clients who fail to install the software is event ID 105: the install of%software% from policy%GPO-NAME% failed - the error was%1612. This indicates that the share is unavailable for whatever reason. I can login to the machine and access the share fine. We also have other DFS targets that appear to be working correctly for our User home directories and other shared files for the orginization.

I do not think it is permissions on the shares/ntfs, but as a troubleshooting step I added everyone full control to the share and NTFS permissions. This caused no change in the problem.

Jun 22, 2016. Windows logs has several different events when you install or uninstall software. All of these events appear in LEM as the SoftwareInstall event type.

I think the problem is DFS related because I created a new test GPO and pushed some software from it using the straight UNC path to the share on the server ( server sjare) and the software installed correctly. Does anyone have any ideas for me to start looking? Free Sldprt To Dxf Converter. I am majorly confused because the DFS environment seems to be working correctly since we have 8 total DFS targets on this single root and they all work correctly. I have used PSEXEC to open a remote command prompt as SYSTEM from a problematic computer to the share via DFS name and I get access denied. This tells me that is my problem, but I don't know how to manipulate the permissions to be correct in this instance, nor do I understand why I would need to do that. It has worked in the past with no problems.

There were no changes to the permissions (to my knowledge). From the command prompt as SYSTEM, I can start an install of any of the software on the share using msiexec /i server share software in staller.ms i - but not using the DFS path. I don't think this is a permissions problem, rather a DFS problem. Can anyone lend a hand here? I would be most grateful.

Also the permissions on the DFS link folder? Does that also grant read permission to the 'Domain Computers' group?

'Remember that the are two objects, each with their own NTFS permissions. First there is the folder within the DFSRoot that becomes the Link. These permissions can be seen on the physical folder. Go to X: DFSRoot and look at the security settings on the folder. Second are the NTFS Permissions on the target folder. These are the ones usually exposed to the user but access via the DFS link also requires read permission on the link folder itself. Remember too that there may be more than one copy of the physical link if you have more than one DFS root server.

It is quite possible to get different permissions on each copy which means that accessing the same folder via DFS can sometimes experience one set of permission and sometimes a different set depending upon which DFS Root server does the referral.' Quoted from Not 100% sure if that is correct of 2003, been a while:D.

@Neilsr - that led me down the right path to resolve the issue. Here is my explanation of the problem and resolution: I added a new DFS root target from my windows 7 machine using the newest version of the tools. Office 2010 Download Italiano Crack. This creates the share automatically for you and also sets the default NTFS permissions on the folder. They were setup as this by default: Share - Everyone - Read NTFS - Administrators - Full, Creator Owner - Special, System - Full, Users - Read. I added Authenticated Users - Read and it worked. Thank you all for the assistance.

Hi all, We're facing a serious issue at the moment. Every Terminal Server ( Remote Desktop Services Windows Server Standard 2008 r2 x64 ) is showing performance issues for logged in TS Users and MS Office. Users report system freezes for 20-30 seconds at a time, multiple times per day.
