    - How to rename domain.com to domain.local? Hi there, I recently posted about was it wrong to use company-name.com as our Forest/Domain and should company-name.local be used. The suggestions were to use .local where possible but as we already have .com I have decided to leave it as everyone said it is OK if not causing problems. I don't actually want to do this or have any plans to but does anyone know how I would go about changing .com to .local and the impacts of doing so including downtime or problems. Thanks.

    - AD DNS Zone question - Dynamic Updates I had someone ask me a question the other day that I wasn't totally sure the answer to. Let's say you have an active directory dns zone, either integrated or primary, and you have dynamic updates turned off. So I realize that no clients will be able to update or create host records in the zone. However, let's say you make domain controller changes, such as bringing up a new DC and making it a GC. Will the SRV records be updated within the zone for the domain controller(s)? Tag: Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain Tag: 125511

    - Main differences between Enterprise CA and Standalone CA ? Hi, one people in my team has made a project with a standalone CA but we are thinking about installing an Enterprise CA as we are using Active Directory. We don't have any special needs actually but the advantage to have the Enterprise CA is the auto-enrollment so we would like to install it for the project and not anymore the standalone CA. My question is, what differences should we have to know about the installation of an Enterprise CA in place of a Standalone CA ? (or more exactly what default options should I have to change on the Enterprise CA to work as if I was using a Standalone CA?) For example, I am thinking about changing the default value of autoenrollment in the Enterprise CA ( Policy Modules/Properties/Set the certificate request status to pending). But is there anything else ? Thank you -- Pascal Tag: Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain Tag: 125505

    - Replication NTDS Settings I have added additional DC to my domain. And replication process accomplished well, at least i guess it is well. I can see users, i have checked dns it is updated. Both old and new dns services have all and same entries. 1. But I can not see NTDS Settings entries to replicate now process in Sites and Services for my new server. What may be problem? Is it important? And also i have not checked global catalog server for new server. Can it cause this problem? 2. I want to ask another question. can there be two server which is checked as global catalog server in a single domain? or what should i do for this situation? 3.

    - Active Directory login seems too fail, shares not corrensponding . Hello people, have abit of a problem, will try to explain below. (I am very new to this so go easy on me). We recently installed a new fiberoptic for WAN communication. In this process we changed our entire network subnet and ip scope. We have a different means of distributing ip-adresses to clients then we had before. Now, everything works fine up to the point when it comes to login in to server from a client. Login scripts, connections to shares - doesn't seem to register upon logon. Running from the server itself it looks fine, no problems there. If one tries to connect to a share from a client the message "networkpath could not be found .. " appears. I can ping the DC, works fine. Run nslookup (dns), works fine and such - but not get the shares to work / run login scripts from clients. Any ideas? I've basically given up on this because I really do not know what to look for or where to start. And it's really not in my job description either. Any help is appreciated.

    - Network Infrastructure Hi Guys, Hope Im in the right group. Im in a stage of fixing my network. This is my current setup. 1. I have an active directory server, which is mydomain.com, wherein also my DNS and DHCP is located. 2. My subnet is 255.255.255.0 This is my idea. 1. Have these servers: (Need suggestions on these) a. AD Server with DNS Server - is this a good practice? b. DHCP Server with ISA Server - is this a good practice? Other concern: I want my network to have access limitations. Here is a scenario. 1. In our network, only managers can use their laptop to access our network and internet. It can be wired or wireless. Unauthorized laptop should or must not access our network. But from the way the network was setup, they can access it through wire. I can filter the wireless using MAC Address filter from the routers. But if they connect through wire and know how to config TCP/IP they can easily access our network. Can this be avoided through ISA? Is there a way to filter MAC Address through Active Directory? Hope you can help me on this. Thanks in advance. Allan Tag: Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain Tag: 125487

    - Parent - Child Domain Trust Relationship - Cannot modify trust Hello, I am not able to modify my trust relationship between a child and parent domain. AD Domains and Trusts setup a two-way Transitive trust - shortcut relationship. I do not want the parent domain trust the child, I do not want users in the child domain to have access to the parent (one-way trust), but the Remove button is grey out and I cann't add a trust because one already exits. There appears to be no option to modify the settings. Second, I attempted three times to create this child domain using Microsoft Docs, it never worked. It doesn't create the child domain zone file, Even though the DNS test during the Child's dcpromo tested good. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/e3f241b5-82a0-4c24-a56a-bfc00ce1b5c21033.mspx?mfr=true After the child domain was created, replication failed due to DNS failure. I ended up manually configuring DNS an setup the Child with DNS delegation. I assume this the only way it will work? I don't know if the problems are related to modifing my trust relationship now. My DNS and DS error event logs went away. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255248 Thank you for your help. Don Tag: Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain Tag: 125482

    - AD/LDAP without the DC? Is it possible to have a live replica of an AD domain without serving as a domain controller? For various reasons (mostly management concerns) we would like to dedicate a server for LDAP queries, but not have the system availble for authentication.

    - Lose Authentication Hey, A small problem I've been having lately is that users who are logged on to the domain seem to lose their authentication randomly. They'll suddenly be asked for their password when viewing their e-mail (exchange setup), they can no longer access network drives, and need to reboot 3 times or so until they can even log back into windows after logging out. We have a very simple setup, 2 AD servers with about 20 client machines. I don't beleive is a replication issue or anything like that, but I'm not sure where to even start checking for this issue. Does anybody have any ideas? The server is running Windows 2k3 and the client machines are running Windows XP SP2 (both have the latest updates/hot fixes).

This is our forest and domain name that we use for users and computers. The NETBIOS name is COMPNAME. We host our own DNS but internal only. We own Company-name.com but the DNS is hosted elsewhere for that. My question is...what are the problems with calling your AD like this? What is best. Should it be Company-Name.local? We don't appear to have any problems at all. Is it security problems may occur or may we run in to trouble in the future? Should we be running at the forest level?

    - AD Users not getting proper permissions I have three users (that I know about) that don't seem to be getting the proper permissions. I have shared network drives that have the same permissions set, but the users only have access to some of the shared drives. I also have a user in the domain admins group that does not have permissions where domain admins should. My other domain admins permissions work fine. We are using a server 2000/2003 AD.

    - Domain Consolidation I'm looking for some guidance/ direction/ help/assistance with the following: My company has acquire 2 small companies, these 2 other companies are running Windows 2000 domain, on the other hand I'm running Windows 2003 domain in native mode. I'm trying to come up with a plan to integrate those 2 companies and consolidate their domain so it will only participate in the main corporate domain. What is the best method to do this and what are the steps involve in doing so? I'm looking for high level overview and what I need to watch out for, also I need to migrate user accounts from each domain to the coporate domain. Thanks.

    - Migrating User Profiles between Servers Hey All, I have an AD 2000 Server that also acts as our DC. We currently have a Terminal Server (also WIn 2000) joined to this domain and all users authenticate into TS using AD. All user profiles reside on the Terminal Server. We're moving to a Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Server for Terminal Services (we'll then remove the 2000 Terminal Server). Since we're still staying with the 2000 AD. Is there a seemless way to move the profiles from TS 2000 to TS 2003? I could even do it manually, but until a user actually logs in once, they don't have a profile directory in the new server ...

    - One DC with three sites Here's an odd one: In one town, I have three sites (Site1, Site2, Site3). Site 1 has three T1s: one T1 to Site2, one T1 to Site3, and one T1 to the rest of the nationwide organization. For this post I'm only concerned with Site1, Site2, and Site3. All three sites have sites defined in AD and Site1 has a DC. For some reason the workstations and server in Site2 and Site3 are not authenticated against the DC at Site1 (4ms ping reply), they are using a DC across the country (80ms ping reply). To fix this, I'd just delete the AD site entries of Site2 & Site3 and add their subnets to the site entry for Site1, however we have a DFS that replicates between the 3 sites and if we consolidated our site definitions computers at Site2 could refer to the DFS and instead of getting the local replica, they get the servers at Site3. I am thinking of just rewriting our login & startup scripts to check the subnet of the machine and map the local servers. Then using a package like AllSync or rsync to handle the intersite replication. Does anyone know of any way around this?

    - Copy (migrate) users from Active Directory to ADAM I did a search, but didn't see this particular topic. Probably doesn't come up much. We have a system which was built utilizing Active Directory to store users for a web based application. We've come to realize that utilizing Active Directory is a bit overkill for what we're doing, plus it's not great for testing different versions simultaneously (where you'd want different user sets on the same machine), so we're seeing how much it would cost to switch things over to ADAM instead. I realized, however, that I haven't seen any documentation on how to move the user accounts from AD to ADAM anywhere. Is it just a simple matter of scripting it out? Will it move the passwords? We have 20k users... I'm not thrilled with the idea of telling all of them "your passwords have all been reset." :-) Thanks! -- Reginald Blue "I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

    - Network topology for Small Business and High Availability Less than 20 person engineering firm. Have needs for: 2+ Terabytes of local data storage Email serving with local control Shared Internet access with VPN capabilities Printer sharing To date we have used SBS 2003 to fill this need nicely but after a recent hardware failure and too much downtime, management decided to invest in a more highly available option. We decided to go with windows clustering and purchased 2 identical machines from Dell with a shared storage unit, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Exchange Server 2007 standard. Now through my search for recommended configurations I find it confusing on how I need to have this setup. It is not recommended to cluster domain controllers and Exchange clustering on DMs does not seem to be supported. I need to find a resource that addresses my network topology to accomodate a highly available environment from ISP to end users. Is there a recommended resource for network layouts for our scenario? Would a Primary/Secondary domain controller with a hardware fault tolerant NAS be more what we should be doing? Any direction would be appreciated.

Our sole DC is a W2003 Server without any service packs. The system partition
is too small to allow me to SP this machine. I am planning on taking this
machine down and replacing drives after I get this new machine up and running.

OS on new machine is W2003 Server R2. The AD schema on the existing DC needs
to be extended via ADPREP. Questions I have are can the AD Schema be extended
regardless of the lack of SP's and does the server require a reboot after
running ADPREP?

As long as you're running adprep against the schema master I don't believe
SP level matters. You do not have to reboot afterwards.

Yes you can do the ADPREP on the non-SP machine without issues, afaik.

Keep in mind that running AD on one DC only brings some "risks"
regarding fault tolerance. I'd flatten the "old" DC and rebuild it using
a larger harddisk.

cheers,
