A. Troubleshooting AD and DNS Tools
Situation: The client move their FTP server from Windows IIS/FTP to Syncplify.me FTP. Some clients have a problem to upload files.
Troubleshooting: 1. Paloalto Firewall monitor shows the FTP was established without any issues.
2. FTP log shows:
2019-10-31 19:40:53 69.x.x.x ftptransfer 10.0.0.2 21 PORT 69,x,x,x,221,201 – 200 34 28 – W7WVJ6DPADUJJOYYJ2ZW2SLLI FTP –
+FTPServerClose
This client is trying to connect using ACTIVE FTP… basic knowledge of the FTP protocol would suffice to determine that this would never work. When a router or a firewall is between the client and the FTP server, the ONLY type of FTP that could ever hope to work is PASSIVE FTP.
So the client must be reconfigured to use PASSIVE FTP.
and make sure the server site firewall should open range ports, for example 1024-65536.
Note: the client site doesn’t need to open any inbound ports. However, if they blocks any inbound and outgoing ports, that will be a problem.
Update:The web server needs to be configured to send its external address as shown below.
Situation: Whenever the user opens Microsoft Edge, the small size is fine. However, if you Maximize, the windows shows only half.
Troubleshooting: 1. Reset display doesn’t fix the problem.
2. Right click on Microsoft Edge>App, reset or repair don’t fix the problem.
3. We also find some Windows applications such as Control Panel have the same problem.
4. We fix the problem by upgrade the display driver.
5. It happens again. I fixed it by upgrading the Monitor driver.
Situation: The client uses Barracuda Backup a VM. It gets this error: System State – Error during backup initialization.
Troubleshooting: 1. vssadmin list writers shows this error:
Writer name: ‘System Writer’
Writer Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
Writer Instance Id: {6a0d330d-1683-4b11-adb6-8e2849bae709}
State: [8] Failed
Last error: Inconsistent shadow copy
2. If we disable backing up System State, the backup works.
resolutions: 1. Restart these services: :
Com + Event System
Cyriptograpic service
VSS
Barracuda Agent
2. If above solution doesn’t fix the problem, you may want to restart the server.
here is the case summary.
Here is a problem backing up the System State “Win32 Services Files” and the system state writer is in s failed state so, that needs to be restarted and you may want to look into the “tsredirect.exe” as that seems to be the cuprit, it may have been installed or uninstalled wrong or the link is bad, not sure.

The system Writer is in a failed state

If this does not work and the writer fails then there is a issue in the registry and the path above.
