DEconfiguring Failover of DHCP failed with error 20116

Hi Guys

Today I am going to tell you if your getting a error when you force removing a DHCP failover from a Partner server or a Primary server and getting the below error.

open the Powershell and run the below command but to run the below command you have to find the Replication name of the failover server for that you can check from the below screenshot.

In the above screenshot the Blue line is the Relationship name in the failover.

So once you got the name run the below command in PowerShell and then you can delete the scope as it will be removed from the failover.

Remove-DhcpServerv4FailoverScope -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -Name "SFO-SIN-Failover" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,10.20.20.0

In the above command change the computername and the Relationship name and also the scope

once you run this command the scope will be removed from the failover and then delete the scope and

re-create the failover from the primary server.

System Volume Information is taking more space

On one of the servers (running Windows Server 2012 R2) I faced a problem with the lack of free space on a system drive. I have cleared all resource-consuming locations ( WinSxS , TEMP directories, user profiles, outdated updates , etc.), but it didn’t have any evident effect. At last, I have found that a large part of a system disk has been occupied by System Volume Information folder. Let’s consider why we need System Volume Information folder in Windows systems, what is stored in it and how to clean up it. Note . The instructions given in this article are applicable to other Windows versions as well: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 / 2012 R2. System Volume Information folder is in the root of each disk. System data related to system recovery and Shadow Copy Service are stored in it. By default it is hidden and only the SYSTEM has access to it. Even the administrator cannot open it and look through the contents of th...

Fix Windows Activation failed due to Software Protection Service error code 0xc0000022

With Windows Activation, the fun never ends! Recently when I was working on a windows 2016 server activation. Instead of activation of windows. Instead, I got error code 0xc0000022 , and the perfectly valid built-in OEM key would not re-activate the same Windows on the same hardware – no matter what I did. It turns out the culprit was an ‘ access denied ‘ error in the Software Protection service… The error 0xc0000022 means that the Software Protection Service (SPS) wouldn’t start. If you’re having a similar activation error – especially with resetting an OEM version of Win 2016 on your server – then the first thing to do is verify that the SPS is the culprit. Check the SPS First, click Start (the windows logo button on the taskbar). Type: services Click the Services app icon. Next, scroll down and find Software Protection , and double-click it to view the settings: Make sure that Startup typ...
