Windows 10 Creates 4 New Folders

By
Scenario: On the root of the C drive you right click and select New "Folder".  Windows will then create 4 New folder i.e. New Folder, New Folder (2), New Folder (3), New Folder (4).  To delete or open these folders you need to elevate permissions on each one.

We have seen this issue only occur on Windows 10 systems applying Group Policy.

Cause: In our environment a specific Group policy was filtered to Windows 10 only.  Within this policy the following security setting was set to modify C: drive file permissions:

Computer> Policies> Windows Settings>File System














The policy specifically was allowing Administrators Full Control and Users Read and Execute permissions to "This Folder" only.  This had the affect of preventing sub-folders from  inheriting Administrator / Users permissions.

If this policy does not exist or is set to "This folder, Sub-folders, and files" then the additional Folders are not created.

I believe this issue is a bug in the way Windows attempt to create the folder and inherit permissions; by default the folder will inherit from above but with this policy in place it fails to inherit and tries 4 times before timing out.  Each attempt results in a restricted folder.

Windows 7 Offline files will not go Online when connected to network

By
Issue Several laptop users move between networks, domain, home, etc and when they attempt to access DFS shares explorer status is working offline.  The issue only resolves it self after a reboot. Connecting directly to the share works and i am able to ping network resources.  This behavior occurs for VPN users as well. Possible Causes "slow-link mode". In win7 (with default settings) a client will enter slow-link mode if the latency to the server is above 80ms. In slow-link mode all writes are made to the local cache and a background sync only happens every 6 hours.  Depending on your connection the default slow link detection speed is 64,000 bps On client computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, a shared folder automatically transitions to the slow-link mode if the round-trip latency of the network is greater than 80 milliseconds, or as configured by the "Configure slow-link mode" policy. After transitioning a folder to the slow-link mode, Offline Fil...

SCCM Unknown computer not able to see Task Sequences after installing Current Branch 1702

By
Soon after installing SCCM CB 1702 we were unable to see Task Sequences deployed to the unknown collection. This issue was identified as a random system taking the GUID of the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record. As a result it was now a known GUID; as we were only deploying Task Sequences to the Unknown collection none were made available. 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record 'x86 Unknown Computer (x86 Unknown Computer)' record To get the GUID of your unknown systems open SQL management studio and run the following command: --Sql Command to list the name and GUID for UnknownSystems record data select ItemKey, Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0 from UnknownSystem_DISC Using the returned GUID (SMS_Unique_Identifier0) we can find the hostname that has been assigned the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' GUID by running the query below. --x64 Unknown Computers select Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0,Decommissioned0 from Sys...

SCCM - Change the drive used for offline servicing of OSD images

By
Change the drive used for offline servicing of OSD images Offline Servicing OSD images wihin SCCM is a useful feature.  I have heard SCCM Professional say it is good and bad but this post is is specifically around changing the default location used to stage the Windows image. By default SCCM will use the drive in which the Configuration Manager is installed (i.e. Drive E) even if it is running low on diskspace.  But assuming you have a new drive F: with plenty of space the procedure below will details how to change this. Assuming your site code is P01 Launch wbemtest.exe and connect to:  root\sms\site_P01 Click Query and enter: SELECT * FROM SMS_SCI_Component WHERE SiteCode=’P01’ AND ItemName LIKE ‘SMS_OFFLINE_SERVICING_MANAGER%’ Double click the  query result Double click Props (Scroll down second from bottom) Click View Embedded There will be four entries listed. Through a process of trial and error double click each one looking for PropertyName...
