Save Site as a template fails - Not a publishing site

I tried saving a lightly customized team site as a template but no matter what I did, it failed.


I tried it from the site settings.


I tried PowerShell:
asnp *sh*


$Web=Get-SPWeb https://webapp/sites/template
$Web.SaveAsTemplate("TeamSiteTemplate10.3","TeamSiteTemplate10.3","TeamSiteTemplate10.3",1)


Which failed with this error:
Exception calling "SaveAsTemplate" with "4" argument(s): "Error generating solution files in temporary directory."


Long story of troubleshooting omitted. Here is what I found to be the issue: Document Parsing is disabled to prevent a required field to prevent Office docs from allowing drag and drop updates--a workaround that keeps biting me.


Once I ran this:
asnp *sh*


$Web=Get-SPWeb https://webapp/sites/template


$web.ParserEnabled = $true


$web.Update() 


I was then able to save the site as a template successfully.

ADMT fails to migrate SID History

If you ever get the error:
ERR2:7111 Failed to add sid history for auser to auser. RC=1378 

Look on the source domain for membership in a domain localgroup called DOMAIN$$$ where "DOMAIN" is equal to the NetBIOS name of your domain.  Remove the source account from that group and migrate again.

Robocopy Error 31 A device attached to the system is not functioning

I was migrating Windows file shares to NetApp CIFS shares using Robocopy. I was unable to copy owner information or NTFS Security (/COPY:DATSOU) without getting this Error:

ERROR 31 (0x0000001F) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Directory F:\PATH
A device attached to the system is not functioning.

I thought it may be the zone information on may of these files. I used the Sysintenals Streams utility to remove that information. It did not help.

In the end, I was forced to copy without NTFS information (/COPY:DATU)

When I viewed the properties of any share, folder, or file, the length of time to enumerate and display the permissions was exceedingly slow. I tried disabling anti-virus, etc. In the end, I had to manually re-create the permissions after the initial data copy. File ownership information was lost.

UPDATE: I ran a CHKDSK /F and following a reboot this robocopy functioned fine.
