Working Previous version on file share

Failing Previous versions on the same file share

To resolve this issue we had to do the following

• First log on your DPM 2010 server
• Open Server Manger
• Expand Roles > File Services
• Choose Share and Storage management
• Navigate to the Shares tab
• Now right click the share thats shows no recovery points and choose Stop Sharing

Now we’ve removed the share from DPM we will need to do some changes in AD via ADSI Edit.

The first thing we need to do is find the canonical name of the share, so if you open command prompt on a server with AD tools and Asdiedit installed such as a DC and run the following command.

Change the below in Bold to match your domain

dsquery * cn=ms-sharemapconfiguration,cn=system,dc=Domain, dc=com –attr ms-productionSrvShare cn -limit 1000 > C:shares.txt

Once you have run the above command open the shares.txt file on the C drive that would of been outputted

Example of outputted file

ms-productionSrvShare                                                            cn                                   
                                                                                                            MS-ShareMapConfiguration             
\ServerShare                                                                            def225c9-0816-4192-bcea-46f1fb71f5b6

Now open ADSIEDIT but keep the shares.txt file open so we can refer to it

• Open ADSIEDIT
• Expand Domain
• Expand DC=Domain, DC=com
• Expand CN=System
• Now select CN=MS-ShareMapConfiguration
• Now we need to refer back to our shares.txt file to find the CN name of the share we need to fix the previous versions for
• now delete the object that matches the CN file from the shares.txt file

Once that has been done wait for your AD to replicate or force replication.

Now you need to modify the protection group that is backing up the file share in question.

• Exclude the folder with the issue with previous versions from the backup and update the protection group and wait for consistency check to complete
• Re-add the folder we just excluded and update the protection group again

Wait for the consistency check to complete and then previous versions should be working again

First of all we are going to extract the TMG media by coping the contents of your TMG 2010 DVD/ISO into a folder. (for demonstration purpose i will be placing it into C:TMG2010Slipstream)

Once you have copied the contents now go ahead and download Forefront TMG 2010 Sp1 , Forefront TMG 2010 SU1 and TMG2010 Sp2.

The first download TMG SP1 will come as a .MSP file named TMG-KB981324-AMD64-ENU.msp, so if we can place that into a folder named TMGSP1 (C:TMGSP1)

Now its a bit trickier with the next 2 downloads they will come as .exe files , so we will start off with TMG 2010 Software Update 1. Open command prompt map to the location where you have save TMG SP1 U1 and run TMG-KB2288910-amd64-ENU.exe /t C:TMGSP1SU1 and also do the same for TMG Sp2 TMG-KB2555840-amd64-ENU.exe /t C:TMGSP2.

Now that we have all the relevant files extracted we will need to slipstream them.

So first of all open command prompt and map to the folder we extracted the TMG media to earlier C:TMG2010Slipstream and then navigate to the FPC folder inside of there.

So we would run

Cd “C:TMG2010SlipStreamFPC”

Now we will slipstream the TMG media by running the following commands.

TMG SP1

msiexec /a MS_FPC_Server.msi /p C:TMGSP1TMG-KB981324-AMD64-ENU.msp

TMG SP1 Software Update 1

msiexec /a MS_FPC_Server.msi /p C:TMGSP1SU1TMG-KB2288910-AMD64-ENU.msp

TMG SP2

msiexec /a MS_FPC_Server.msi /p C:TMGSP2TMG-KB2555840-AMD64-ENU.msp

Once you have run those commands you will have the slipstreamed media in the TMG2010Slipstream Folder (C:TMG2010SlipStream)

What the issue turned out to be is that we had installed TMG Sp2 onto the TMG Evaluation which was causing the issues, so what we had to do was Slipstream TMG Sp2 into TMG install files and setup ran fine (I’ll be blogging how to Slipstream TMG SP2 soon)
