A new issue with this server management console has arisen, due to which, one may end up losing important data permanently.<\/p><p>Microsoft Server Manager is a management console in Windows Server that helps enable Remote Desktop Protocol (rdP) connections to each server. This helps thousands of IT professionals to manage and provision both remote and local Windows-based servers from their systems.<\/p><p>Over the years, Microsoft has been updating this console to let IT professionals manage multi-server environments remotely and to increase the number of servers managed by a single Server Management console. For example, a single Server Manager (in Windows Server 2016, 2012 R2, and 2012) can manage up to 100 servers. However, it depends on the data amount requested from managed servers and the hardware and network resources available to the PCs running on that console.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what&rsquo;s-the-issue-with-the-server-manager?\"><strong>What&rsquo;s the issue with the Server Manager?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Recently, a major big issue came into existence. Whenever an admin tries to clear or reset the virtual disk using the Community Virtual driver, the wrong disk might get reset mistakenly, causing complete data loss. Further, you may encounter an error message on resetting the wrong disk stating &ndash; &ldquo;Found multiple disks with the same ID. Please update your storage driver and then try again.&rdquo; Microsoft released an <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/topic\/kb5018898-server-manager-resets-the-wrong-disk-if-many-virtual-disks-have-the-same-uniqueid-5b4b7d32-e65f-469e-a266-e7dc4b22467f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official notification<\/a> confirming the problem with the Server Manager.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-causes-the-server-manager-to-reset-the-wrong-disk?\"><strong>What Causes the Server Manager to Reset the Wrong Disk?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The Community Virtual Driver consists of multiple virtual disks that might be having same Unique ID. And when you initiate the reset operation, Server Manager will reset the first disk it finds instead of the one you want to reset, causing accidental data loss. The Windows systems running on Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2023, and all editions of Windows 11 version 22H2 are facing this issue.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-avoid-server-manager-to-reset-wrong-disk?\"><strong>How to Avoid Server Manager to Reset Wrong Disk?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Though the issue may sound catastrophic, an authenticated workaround\/resolution is available. Microsoft suggests using the PowerShell utility with the following commands to help avoid the risk of wrong disk getting reset and losing data. You can retrieve and clear the virtual disk with the following steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Search<\/strong> and type <strong><em>Powershell<\/em><\/strong>; click <strong>Open<\/strong> to access <strong>Windows PowerShell<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/open-powershell-from-windows-search.jpg\" alt=\"open powershell from windows search\" class=\"wp-image-115154 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/open-powershell-from-windows-search.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/open-powershell-from-windows-search-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><p>In the open window, type <strong><em>Get-PhysicalDisk | Select-Object -Property FriendlyName, DeviceID, UniqueId,<\/em><\/strong> and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/type-get-physical-disk-command-in-powershell.jpg\" alt=\"type get physical disk command in powershell\" class=\"wp-image-115153 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/type-get-physical-disk-command-in-powershell.jpg 706w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/type-get-physical-disk-command-in-powershell-300x84.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now, confirm the details about the disk you wish to clear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, type <strong><em>Clear-Disk [-Number] &lt;UInt32[]&gt;<\/em><\/strong>, use the disk&rsquo;s DeviceID as the number in the command, and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the process is done, you&rsquo;ll only clear the virtual disk you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>But, what about my data?<\/strong><\/p><p>Coming to the data loss situation, if you have lost data due to this Server Manager issue, don&rsquo;t pull out your hair yet.
