Windows Server: File Server Resource Manager tasks: error occurred details: 0x8007007b

 Windows Server: File Server Resource Manager tasks: error occurred details: 0x8007007b


I found this error after trying to save a task in the File Server Resource Manager / File Management Tasks:

An error occurred while trying to persist changes to the file management task. Details: 0x8007007b, the filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.


What this means to anybody who doesn't speak Microsoft, is that you used invalid characters in your name of the task. Re-create the task with only text and numbers, don't use anything that is not text or a number. none of these:-

  • 0x00000022 (quotation mark)
  • 0x0000002A (asterisk)
  • 0x0000002F (forward slash)
  • 0x0000003A (colon)
  • 0x0000003C (less than)
  • 0x0000003E (greater than)
  • 0x0000003F (question mark)
  • 0x0000005C (backslash)
  • 0x0000007C (pipe or bar)

 This happened to me because I had created the task in Server 2008R2 and then upgraded to 2012R2. After the upgrade the File Management Task no longer works.

If a user has left, their license gets removed and their OneDrive for Business account gets automatically deleted for a period of 93 days. If you try and restore a user, and un-delete their OneDrive, you run into a problem as restoring the account atomically creates a new empty OneDrive. Restoring gets you this error:- Restore-SPODeletedSite : A site collection with the same Site Id or Path already exists. You have to permanently delete the new empty OneDrive account, then restore then old deleted one back:- To delete permanently the newly created (empty) site:- Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://xxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxxxxx To restore the automatically deleted (full) site:- Restore-SPODeletedSite -Identity https://xxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxxxxx
