 - Moving FSMO roles I plan to install a new DC w/gc on new hardware and transfer all the FSMO roles from the existing DC. What are the best practices for moving them? Is there a certain order, waiting period between moving roles, etc.? Very simple environment - 2 dc's, default site config, 1 domain. The old and new servers will be in the same vlan, same physical location. The other dc (not a gc) will be in a different office (25mi.) - GigE 100Mb WAN connection. Thank you!

 - Event ID 1030's I'm seeing a number of 1030's on the clients, and this in GPMC: Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress. Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available I've verified the admin name and passowrd in DHCP manager, and checked for cached passwords to the server on the clients, and still no luck. Any other ideas? Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132128

 - repadmin /removelingeringobjects Hi, i'm getting an error message on a mailserver. event id 2042 "it has been too long since this machine last replicated with the named source machine etc etc. looking at the dates mention further down the message, the tally up to a date when a previous DC failed and was removed from the domain. hardware failed from within the DC and dcpromo was never run to remove it from the domain, and as a result a lot of messages have been appearing around the servers relating to the missing dc. The 2042 message gives 3 options, and the only relvant one refers to using repadmin to clear up any residue following the servers demise. my question is that reading up on repadmin, I'm being told that 2003 server needs to be running on "both" servers....the problem is that only one server is running and i want to clear up the mess following the server dying in the first place. Or is it just a case of repadmin actually being able to determine what and where the issue is and clearing it automatically? cheers Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132127

 - Creating New Domain Tree in Existing Forest We just bought a company that I have to integrate into our active directory. They currently have Windows 2000 AD and I have Windows 2003 AD. How do I bring their Windows 2000 AD into my AD as a domain tree without losing their users? If you could point me to instructions on how to make this possible I would appreciate it. thanks -- dee Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132117

 - problems with single level dns name (domain) Hi a new customer has a w2k3 server on location vienna with a single level domain "intern" and no "intern.local" as normally used. we have to install a second AD-Controller an location linz (connected with vienna via a 2 MBit VPN-Tunnel). after using KB 300684 we could move the second server in the domain as member. then we installed AD on the sec. server, tested dns with nslookup, all works fine. Our problem: the user locally in linz cann't access to the local shares on the sec. AD-Controller, they get the message access denied. when i remove the AD on the second server and chance the dns entry to the vienna dns-server all works fine. workstation systemlog: source: BROWSER, err: 8021, no list from Browser, source: BROWSER, err: 8032, read fails, applicationlog: source: userenv, err: 1058, gpt.ini access denied can you help me ?

 - problem with steadystate and restricting rights from administrator I have a domain Active directory on a windows 2000 Server and I moved the rights I made on a pc with steadystate to the server with the active directory with SCTSettings.adm. Then I did some changes in the group policy at the All Windows Steadystate restrictions hopping that this will affect only to users that also have Steadystate restricting the right click on desktop, the access on C:\, and in all windows programs but this affected on the privilages of the administrator rights too!!! Now I can't have access to c:\, not to administrative programs not even right click to the workspace!!! Is there other way to have access to the gpedit (group policy editor) to change the policy again ? cause even the administrator doesn't have any rights now and... I think... this is a HUGE bug!!!! nomater what administrator shouldn't affect on any change of GROUP policy... Pls I need help imidiatly not to setup the server again cause I have 200 users to put again in active directory one by one... Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132110

 - Restricting Trusted Domain user login hour Hi there, I was wondering if there is anyway to limit user's logon hour by configuring AD Domain A while the user account is in a trusted Domain B please? What I have got is a computer lab with all computers and network resources belonging to Domain A. Domain A trusted Domain B (with the same forest), hence users from Domain B can log onto computers in the lab. Now we want to limit users from using the lab after hour. I know I can set the logon hours for the users in AD User and Computer in Domain B but I only want to limit their access to computers in Domain A, not the entire organization/AD forest. Is there a way to control that within Domain A please? Thanks, Edmond. Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132093

 - Failure login to domain or losing domain membership Server information of each site Site A (Production) Server A1 (Application server - Window cluster) Server B1 (Database Server - Windows/MS SQL cluster) Server C1 (Database Server â?? Windows/MS SQL cluster) Server F0 (Existing Domain controller), F1 (New Domain controller) OS (Windows 2003 server enterprise R2/SP2) OS for Server A1, B1, and C1 are on external SAN volumes OS for Server F1 are on internal disks. Site B (DR â?? Disaster Recovery) Server A2 (Application Server â?? Windows cluster) Server B2 (Database Server â?? Windows/MS SQL cluster) Server C2 (Database Server â?? Windows/MS SQL cluster) Server F2 (Domain Controller â?? Fresh installation OS only) Server D (Fax Server) Server E (Citrix Server) OS (Windows 2003 Server enterprise R2/SP2) OS for Server A2, B2, and C2 are on external SAN volumes. The OS for these servers is replicated from OS of servers (A1, B1& C1). Hence the configuration of server (A2, B2 & C2) is exactly same as servers (A1, B1 & C1). OS for Server F2, D & E are on internal disks. Server F2 is configured with basic OS with the same IP address and Host name as of server F1. Setup & Configure Step (1st time) Site A Configure Server F1 at site A as additional domain controller along with existing domain controller. These domain controllers serves domain â??XYZ.comâ??. The server F1 holds all the FSMO roles except Infrastructure role. Configure Server A1,B1 and C1 server and join to domain â??XYZ.comâ?? Bring servers D & E to Site A(Production) from Site B(DR) Setup and configure servers D & E and join to domain â??XYZ.comâ?? at Site A After joining domainâ??XYZ.comâ?? for servers D & E, move back both servers to Site B(DR). Perform a full or system state backup at site A from existing AD server F1 using â??ntbackupâ?? and copy backup file(.bkf) from domain controller(F1) at site A to domain controller(F2) at site B. Site B Restore backup file (.bkf) on domain controller (F2) at site B. Now server F2 becomes new independent Active Directory server at site B. Replicate OS (using IBM SVC) of servers A1, B1, and C1 at Site A to servers A2, B2 and C2 at site B respectively. Bring up Server A2, B2, and C2 On boot, servers are able to login as domain member. Servers D & E (Fax & Citrix) which were joined at Site A and brought back to site B are now boot up at Site B. Servers D & E (Fax & Citrix) are also ble to login as domain members. Periodic restore (Perform DR restore & Testing â?? Daily or weekly) Note: At DR Site all servers D, E, F2, A2, B2 and C2 were already able to join and login as domain member when first time setup & configuration was done. But to keep the Active Directory server at site B up to date as Active Directory server at site A, we are backing up the Active Directory server (F1) at site A and restoring it on Active Directory server (F2) at site B periodically. Perform a full or system state backup at Site A from existing AD server F1 by using â??ntbackupâ?? and copy backup file(.bkf) from site A to site B. Perform restore on AD at site B using latest backup file. Boot up servers A2, B2, C2 and try to login as domain member, but login fails. Boot up servers D & E server, try to login as domain member, but login fails. It is not necessary that it will fail on second restore. Sometimes it work even if we restore Active Directory server several times in 3-4 days, but after 3-4 days or 1 week when we backup and restore only Active Directory, some of the servers (A2,B2,C2,D & E) are not able to login as domain members. But since OS of servers A2, B2 & C2 are on external SAN disks, we can replicate the OS of servers A1, B1 & C1 to servers A2, and B2 & C2. In this case these servers (A2, B2 & C2) are able to login as domain members. But OS for servers D & E is not on external disk and we can not replicate OS for these two servers. For example, the servers (A2, B2, C2, D & E) were able to login as domain member on 30th June with the backup file of Active Directory also of the same date. So for next few days (1st July and 2nd July) we performed backup of Active Directory server (F1) and restored it on Active Directory server (F2) at site B. We booted the member servers and the servers could join as domain members. But later after few days say 4 th July, we performed backup again of Active Directory (F1) at site A and restored it on Active Directory server(F2) at site B. This time we boot the member servers, but these servers could not login as domain members. So to check whether the newly restored AD server (F2) also requires the OS of servers at the same moment or close to some range of time, we replicated OS of only A2, B2 and C2 on 4th July and boot these servers. Then these serves were able to login as domain members. We have tested the above cycle several times and our observation is same every time. Question: Why servers (A2, B2, C2, D & E) are not able to login as domain members after 3-4days? Why servers A2, B2 & C2 after replicating OS are able to login as domain members? Any permanent solution? Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132040

 - Unique time requirement We have an AD 2003 domain which uses the domain hierachy time sync model. There is a developer who is using an application that generates transactions. Before this application hits production they need to confirm that it can log transactions for different times/dates (i dont know why.. they just do) So they have tried changing the system clock, but of course this causes all sorts of problems and they cant access the box. It will then re-sync its clock with a domain controller and the box is back to normal.. Is there some sort of software which can cater for this, ie it interfaces with the system clock and the operating system, so that it can have multiple times. ie the OS communcates with the domain with the correct time, but somehow this app can make available a second time for applications.. strange request.. and I can't see how it can be done but I thought id see if anyone here had come across a similar requirement. They cant do this testing in a workgroup as they need to interface with other apps/boxes on the domain using windows authentication.. any ideas? Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132021

 - renaming a home directory One of my users just got married and now I want to rename the account. My question is should I just rename the home directory or build another account and migrate to that account. My concern is how LDAP is affected by renaming a home directory . This is a Server 2008 domain Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132017

 - Disabling NETBIOS on windows 2008 server effects group policy I want to avoid NETBIOS traffic in my office ,for that I have disabled "TCP/IP NETBIOS helper" under services of my Windows 2008 std. domain controller.Suddenly, my group policies stopped working and giving me error" failed to open group policies, The network path was not found". If I enable NETBIOS service, group policy works fine. Can anyone suggest me a better way to stop NETBIOS traffic. Thanks Amit Arora amit1982@gmail.com Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 132008

 - lsass.exe terminated - restart of computer I've got several Server 2003 Std SP2 systems running AD that reboot arbitrarily maybe once or twice a week. It seems to be getting more frequent now too. I get the same event IDs every single time in the System and Application event logs. I've run virus scans, used MBSA, ran the Malicious Software Removal Tool, and installed hotfix 927342. Yet, despite everything I've tried, searched endlessly on google for a solution, I cannot seem to figure this problem out.

 - DCPROMO RPC error I am trying to promote a domain controller on 2008 in a separate site to my domain. The only existing current DCs are in another site. The sites are connected by permanent VPN, and I know it's working because I can log on to the domain perfectly well (a bit slowly) from any computer at the remote site, as well as join the domain as a member server from the computer I am trying to promote. When running DCPROMO, it starts the process then stops with the error: ----- The operation failed because: Active Directory Domain Services could not create the NTDS Settings object for this Active Directory Domain Controller CN=NTDS Settings,CN=ES-SERVER2,CN=SERVERS,CN=ELEMENTARY,CN=SITES,CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=stghs,DC=net on the remote AD DC hs-server2.stghs.net. Ensure the provided network credentials have sufficient permissions. "The RPC Server is unavailable." ----- Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

 - Domain can not be found I'm having a time of things. Recently a domain controller, the first one in the domain, died. I was able to successfully remove the controller from active directory using the Microsoft knowledge base article, but now my domain can not be found. DCDIAG gives errors when run from the current domain controller. I've used the registerdns switch of ipconfig, restarted net logon, and ensured that the old server is not referenced anywhere in DNS. I've also ensured that all of my clients are using this server as the DNS server, but still, I can't find the domain. I can successfully ping the server and all other clients by name, I do not use NetBIOS and I do not use WINS, and I can use nslookup successfully. Plus, the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares are completely gone. I need serious help. The results of a DCDIAG are below. The site name is HURRICANE, server name is CORUSCANT.

 - Cached Credentials stop working all of a sudden Hello, we have a Domain built on a mixture of 2003- and 2000-based domain controllers. We have lots of people who are on the road regularly using notebooks. Some people only log on to the domain once every half a year. When they are on the road they log on using cached credentials. They do not have local admin permissions and we do not allow them to use a local user account (this has been dictated by company management). About once every 2 months we have a case where some laptop user all of a sudden cannot use his cached credentials anymore. The system shows a message, that the domain cannot be contacted and that's it. This hits different people on different laptops without any warning. It has actually happened to myself when I was on a one-week-vacation. If we connect the laptop to the network and have the person log on "properly" the problem goes away and cached credentials work. Some people have RAS permissions and we have been able to "solve" the problem by having them log on using RAS. We do not have a GP defining the use of cached credentials so the default of the last 10 logons is in place. We do not tamper with the cahced logons in the registry either. There is no password expiration policy in place. Does anybody have an idea? It's a real pain having to tell someone that he has to mail his notebook back to HQ half way around the world so that we can log him on. Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The problem is with atleast two of the servers in the domain. The other is Windows 2000 and the other 2003. I don't know if someone has made any changes to GPO. But when I asked about it I got no replies. Any idea what could be causing this? Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 131978

 - Server 2003 sp3 error - Domain controller cannot be found ? Hello, We have two 2003 servers running, both DC's for the same domain, with active directory replicated between them for redundancy. Everything worked fine during initial testing, but after mistakenly setting up a trust between the two servers (its not needed, right?), I was unable to access any shares on the second server (not the Global Catalogue server), even from itself! When I try to access the shares, I receive an error : .... Access is denied or the domain controller cannot be located! I tried to remove the trusts, but I then get an error - : the directory is busy... I can ping server2.mydomain ok, and it seems as if active directory objects are still replicating to it, but I may be mistaken. I've tried creating new shares with liberal permissions but alas, same error! I was considering demoting the second machine, but it is running exchange and I am concerned that this may affect it.

 - restricting access to queries and such Hello, I am looking to extend our AD into a larger environment. However, there are servers that will have local admins who I do not want to be able to perform any queries against AD to get information. For example, I don't want these local admins to be able to use a normal ldap viewer to scrape the whole directory for information they don't need. They still need to be able to bind to AD and what not and I may even want to give them administrative control over an OU or two. How can I achieve this in AD? Thanks!

 - Directory: Property | Security | Extended | Owner Hello, Shortly I have put 2 Windows2000 PCs in a domain. They seem to be set the same and they use the same application. By one of them all is working fine. By the other, when the application tries to save a file, it displays an error that it can't. Only logging on the PC locally allow this application correctly. At a first glance, I did not find a difference between both PCs. Looking more in detail, I found different owners (Property | Security | Extended | Owner) for the directory where this application wants to save the files. Perhaps it is something else, but before on other places I want to have both PCs with the same list. Does anyone know how I can change this list?

 - Restricted group policies We have a restricted group policy at the domain level which basically defines the domain members of a local group (the local group members are these...) , which is the "lock down" type of restricted group policy as opposed to the one where you just say "this domain group should be a member of this local group". Anyway, using the type of domain-level restricted group policy we have, if we create an OU-level one where we say "this domain group should be a member of the local group populated above" will that work since the domain policy is processed before the OU policy? I guess that would be kinda tricking the domain-level policy. I'm assuming that each time the domain policy is re-processed, the user added in the OU policy will be removed then immediately re-added by the OU policy... thanks for your input! - JayDee Tag: Adding Domain Controller Tag: 131936

 - MS Access bulk update Active Directory I work for a university and I am trying to bulk update student accounts each qtr. Each qtr we delete all users import fresh. I created an Access Directory that pulls enrollment information from the main system at the university and I have a local table that has the following: STUDENTID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME USERNAME PASSWORD HOMEDIR PROFILEPATH TSPATH Ive read up and looked at some mass import programs such as ADDUSERS and CSVDE but the issue with ADDUSERS is it doesnt appear to allow for Terminal Server path. The problem with CSVDE is it doesnt allow me to set passwords. Correct me if I am wrong.

 - Way for non-administrator to manage contacts in Global Address Lis I have created several distribution lists which are largely populated by contacts with external email addresses only. The contacts are in a separate OU to segregate them from normal users. The distribution lists are maintained through Outlook 2003 by a user who does not have rights to log on to the server. She is able to add/delete distribution list members with no problems. Is there a similar method to allow her to add/delete/modify the contacts themselves? I modified the OU to be "managed by" this user, and I also tried changing the group policy for the OU to delegate the container and child to the user. I can see all properties, but no changes are allowed. Delete does nothing, and add gets me an error " you cannot create entries in this address book". What I'm looking for is a safe way to let a user manage a very limited subset of active directory information. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Server: SBS 2003 with Exchange Server 2003.

Hi. I'm adding an additional domain controller (2k3) to an existing domain,
which has only one DC that is also a 2k3 server. I ran dc promo on the new
server and chose to copy active directory from an an existing DC. I received
an error stating the forest was not ready, and to run adprep against the
existing DC. I checked the functional level of the domain and forest in the
existing DC and found it was set to 2000 level. I raised it to 2003 and
thought that would help. It didn't. I also got an errors when trying to run
adprep against the existing DC. I didn't think adprep was necessary when
there weren't any 2000 servers on the domain. Any ideas?
thanks

Is the new server running Windows Server 2003 R2? R2 has new schema
extensions an Active Directory (even for Windows Server 2003 SP2). Run
forest prep and domain prep from the R2 CD and try DCPROMO again.

Hello attrib75,

Seems that the new server is 2003 R2, so on the running DC run adprep /forestprep
and adprep /domainprep from the second R2 disk to upgrade the schema to version
31. If you run "schupgr" in a command prompt without the quotes you can see
the actual schema version. (13 windows 2000, 30 windows 2003, 31 windows
2003 R2, 44 windows 2008)

Best regards

Wow, thanks to both for the replies. I didnt notice but the new server is
R2, the old is not. I tried running adprep from the new R2 cd but get errors:

Adprep was unable to copy file C:\WINDOWS\schema.in_ from installation point
to
local machine under directory C:\WINDOWS.

Check the log file Adprep.log in the system root System32\Debug\Adprep\Logs
dire
ctory for more information.

Adprep encountered a Win32 error.
Error code: 0x2 Error message: The system cannot find the file specified..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adprep was unable to check the forest update status.

Adprep queries the directory to see if the forest has already been prepared.
If
the information is unavailable or unknown, Adprep proceeds without

this f
