We currently have a file server with 6 drives 3 drives are in their own raid 5. There are 3 drive letters associated with the server C,D,F. The CD Rom is &nbsp;E. We are using the F drive as a &nbsp;user share and only used for users (No Other Files) <br />
<br />
Each user is setup with a folder for example: smithj$<br />
<br />
There are about 70 folders setup in this drive. <br />
<br />
Here is the problem:<br />
<br />
Lately weve been noticing that 3 or 4 of the folders have been renaming themselves &quot;boobre&quot; but they are still retaining the same share name. So users can still access their files. &nbsp;Whats odd is that all of the folders named &quot;boobre&quot; have exactly the same name. How does Windows allow this.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have a clue how this is happening? Ive sent a ticket to Microsoft and they couldn't find the issue after a week.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
