    - Remote Control permissions prompt Options Hi, I have a terminal server user. See print screen below http://www.box.net/shared/agdpk5n48s in AD the Enable remote control is enabled and the require user's permission is not checked (i.e disabled).

    - Automatically Adding Domain Groups into Local Administrators group By default when a computer is added to a domain the domain admin group is added to the local computers administrators group. I would like to automatically add my IT support group to the local computers administrators group. Is there a way to do this before and/or after joining a computer to a domain without having to manually touch each and every computer to do a manual add?? It appears that in group policy restricted groups would be the place but I can't figure out how to enter or designate the local administrators group so then I could stick in the domain\group inside it. Thanks Much, Charles Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130823

    - Group Policy and Domain Type Problem Hi everybody, We're having a problem on our Active Directory, we can not edit GPOs which have been defined previously including Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy as well. When we try to edit it, it says; "Failed to open the group policy object. You may not have appropriate rights." Detail: "The system can not find the path specified." Then, we try to change the security settings of related GPO , we remove some and add another, finally when we try to Apply or click Ok, then it says; "Unable to save permission changes on {....-.....-......-......}" "The system can not find the file specified." We can create new GPOs and edit them successfully, there is nothing wrong with the new created ones. We're using administrator account to try all of them above.. Thanks in advance..

    - Server share login I have added a W2003R2 domain controller to our network. A new share has been created on the server. When I attempt to browse to the share, clicking on the server asks for my user name and password (which will work OK). Any of the other shares on the network do not require entering username/password. So apparently, when you browse to a share it normally automatically authenticates but for some reason it doesnt on this server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I am missing here? -- Regards Thomas Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130811

    - 2003 CA in a 2008 Mixed Mode Domain Can a 2003 Enterprise Root CA exist in a 2008 Mixed Mode Domain? We currently are running our Active Directory Domain in Windows 2003 Native Mode and have 2003 CA's in place. We are looking to upgrade to introduce a couple of Windows 2008 Domain Controllers into our existing domain. In the 2008 mixed mode can a 2003 Enterprise Root CA still function or does it need to be migrated to 2008? Tim Humphrey Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130810

    - Active directory problem!! Single windows 2003 active directory domain, two domain controllers. One domain controller hosts network attached storage (NAS)and the other hosts exchange 2007 . One of the disks of NAS has been damaged and the domain controller had to be taken off the network. When this domain controller is turned off, despite the presence of other domain controller, active directory cannot be found. I have transferred RID,operations master, PDC, infrastructure and schema roles to the one with the exchange 2007, but still cannot see the active directory when the first one is turned off. It also has the active directory integrated DNS installed and configured. Can anyone help me with this one? Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130752

    - Active Directory woes... please help! Well, I have just restored my PDC and BDC from North Ghost disk backup made late last year (so more than 6 months ago). Now, the DCs won't replicate. repadmin /options [PDC_Host_Name] Current DC Options: IS_GC repadmin /options [BDC_Host_Name] Current DC Options: IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL When I run repadmin /options [BDC_Host_Name] -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REP -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL, replication fails and the BDC goes back to bein IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL. I tried removing the BDC, but that fails because the DCs canno replicate. Talk about an impass! What can I do to fix this?

    - WAN to WAN I currently have an active directory at my W2k3 LAN. I need to setup a 2nd LAN, that all of my users will have access to with their current accounts. I want to keep the active directories syncronized at all times, but these LANs are seperated by a few hundred miles. I suppose I can export the directory to set the initial seed, but what best practice techniques are available to keep the directories in sync? Is there an automated method to this? Will the data on the wire be encrypted? Thanks in advance. Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130747

    - Changing IP Subnet? I've had problems over the past 6 years that were caused by the original "consultants" who set up the primary subnet to be 192.168.1.nnn. An obvious problem is connecting to a users personal computer (on a router) to our network using a VPN. We have to get the user's router reconfigured to a different subnet since most default to the same one. I'm curious as to what it would take to change our internal IP subnet. to something different. Any thoughts as to what would be impacted would be appreciated. I'm not likely to do it, but it might help explain why we don't do it.... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130743

    - Moving a DC I have three functioning DCs in our domain. We have 2 locations (Hyde Park & Kingston). Each has its own subnet (HP = 192.168.1.nnn & Kingston = 192.168.100.nnn). The sites are connected via a point to point T1. Each site has a router. The DC I want to move (HOSPICEDC3)currently has an IP address of 192.168.1.113. I want to move it to the KGN subnet, changing the IP to 192.168.100.113. I have a site defined as "Kingston" on the domain (currently W2K) waiting for a DC. Everything is currently in the default (HP) site. I'm interested in a step by step procedure for moving this server. A link would be great. I have a pretty good idea what to do, but I'm anal about understanding what needs to be done before I take step one. Also, what (if anything) do I need to do to make HOSPICEDC3 the preferred DC for users in Kingston? As usual, TIA..... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130742

    - Best practice for disabling accounts after user left? (But returning) Hi, What is the best practice for: When a user works at the company for 1 year or more. They then leave for a year. (Possible reasons include maternity leave, uni study for one year, etc etc). They will then return as full time staff again. What is best practice to do with their accounts? Set to disabled for the year? Leave share permissions. Set to disabled for a few months then delete account and all share permissions. Delete account straight away. How does this work with the mailbox? Does setting the account to disabled stop them from receving all the e-mails? (Exchange 2003 here). Obviously a year's worth of e-mails would be quite a lot and would not be needed. Do you therefore stop this somehow? Look forward to hearing what you do, Thanks Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130737

    - How to upgrade windows 2000 domain controller to windows 2008? We are running a simple domain controller on windows 2000 and have a second server that is windows 2000 (backup domain controller) that also runs our exchange server (very old version, 5.5). For us, this is a "once in five year" upgrade. We only do it because all of this technology is becoming end of life. I have been instructed to upgrade our domain controllers to windows 2008 and install the latest exchange server and upgrade that. So first things first, what I want to know is, what is the best path for this? We have about 100 exchange users (so 100 users in active directory). Do I: 1. upgrade the domain controllers to windows 2008, have the exchange server (running 5.5 and windows 2000) use this upgraded domain OR 2. install a fresh domain and fresh exchange server and manually add all the users OR 3. is there a middle ground somewhere here? my concerns: If I upgrade to a 2008 domain and I make a mistake and can not attach the windows2000/exchange5.5 server to the new domain, then I am in big trouble because our mail servers will then be dead. has the domain controller technology evolved that this can be an issue or will the windows2000 server work just fine if i upgrade the domain? What are the steps, i have googled for detailed instructions and can not find any. Does someone have detailed instructions on how I will do this? what happens to the servers that are pointing to the Windows 2000 DC, do they just continue to run and point to the new DC or do they need to be rebooted or reconfigured? We still have a lot of windows 2000 servers that are destined to be upgraded as well. Thanks Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130731

    - Hiding the domain name from new company We are due to merge with a another company, and due to us having a more complex AD structure we are bringing the new domain into our AD. We want to try and hide our domain.com from the end users of the new company and ours and show a newdom.com (its a bit sensitive as the CEO does not want the users to feel that they now all belong to old domain.com). I have created a new Domain suffix newdom.com so new and migrated users have this account, but on its own this is not enough. is there a way to alias the domain, i did hear about a dname in DNS, but cannot find an real info or if it will hide or alias my existing domain. There are other complications in the form of an extensive DFS namespace but i will post that in the relevant group, but i need something that will also alias the DFS. regards Phil Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130721

    - Migrate ADAM instance to new domain and don't lose info I have an issue that seems a little tricky. We are having to migrate our severs to a new domain- and for this we are using NetIQ DMA tool with works great, However we also use Passlogix SSO application which stores users credentials in an ADAM instance. We are trying to make this migration appear invisible to the desktop user, and for this happen, the old adam instance would have to have all its DACLS update to allow access for the user id in the new domain (user id's are not changing only domain membership) and we think we need to get update the ADAM schema of that instance to remove the old domain and insert the new one. Is this even realisticaly possible? or just wishfull thinking?

    - machine authentications vs user authentication - NEWBIE Hello, sorry if my English is bad spelled. I am learning all about Windows server 2003. I am new to this but I am OK at networking. I have set up a small network of 1 server 2003 (running AD, DNS and DHCP on the same box). I also have two XP clients. Everything seems to work OK but I am wondering why...?? I thought I would have to authenticate the XP machines first of all. However, I have found that I do not need to. When one of the clients tries to join the domain, I can type in any name as the system name and when the login box pops up, as long as I enter admin credentials the machine is welcomed to the network. Why? Why donlt I have to set up the machine under the active directory "computers" first? i.e why is not the machine itself authentiacted? I then log in as a user. This is all ok. However, when I first log in as the user, would the machine have been authentiacted first at boot up time? Or is this where dot1x comes in? Any user can log in from any machine right? Can this be ties down? So that user dave can only log in from machine A but nit machine B? I am a bit confused... Any wlakthough docs on this guys? Thanks, Steve Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130699

    - SYSVOL not replicating Hi there, I have a problem with my domain controllers. I have two, dep-s-dc(Win 2k3 Ent) and dep-s-004(Win 2k8 Ent) dep-s-dc was our main server when the company started out and as such hosted nearly everything, DNS, DHCP, Exchange, AD and DC Over time we have got bigger and bought more servers. I installed dep-s-004 as a domain secondary controller. recently we have had problems with dep-s-dc and it was looking bad so I moved the FSMO roles to dep-s-004 making this the primary. All roles were transfered without problems. I have now noticed however that new client when logging on take an age to populate the domain list. Also group policy has stopped working. When you click on a policy you get the following message "The network name cannot be found". You get this message on dep-s-dc and dep-s-004. There are also errors relating to NTfrs in the event logs on both machines. I have done a lot of research and can't seem to pinpoint the error. Replication does seem to be working. If I create an account on dep-s-004 and check dep-s-dc it appears. ping and nslookup are ok between the two servers. It just seems to be the sysvol and netlogon that are not being replicated. they are on dep-s-dc but not on dep-s-004 How can I solve this? Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130690

I was hoping t modify this script to do what I want: On Error Resume Next Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2 Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject" objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider" Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000 objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE objCommand.CommandText = _ "SELECT Name FROM 'LDAP://DC=fabrikam,DC=com' WHERE objectCategory='group' " & _ "AND Name='*admin*'" Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute objRecordSet.MoveFirst Do Until objRecordSet.EOF Wscript.Echo objRecordSet.Fields("Name").Value objRecordSet.MoveNext Loop Would it be very easy to add the user membership lookup to this script? If so, how and if not, then what is a good script that will? Thanks! Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130596

    - how to create a new AD tree or forest? win2k3 At home here I have a little network consisting of a winXPpro machine and another machine running win2k3 (evaluation). I've configured the win2k3 machine to be the domain controller in my AD. I'm doing this for the purpose of learning AD. Now I want to create another tree or another forest in my AD... when I run dcpromo on the win2k3 machine, the only option I got is to remove the AD... And all the info I've come a cross on the Internet says I should use dcpromo to create a new tree or forest.... I'm a bit confused here.... any suggestions? Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130582

    - Prevent users from joining Computers to domain? I am planning to rework how our users join PC's to our domain for security/management purposes. I know that by default users can join up to 10 workstations to the domain without any special permissions required. I am guessing that as a first step I would need to use ADSI Edit on the PDC and change the "ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota" value to "0". This would then allow only the Account Operators group (and higher) to join PC's to the domain. Ultimately, we would like the process to be as follows: 1 - User requests to helpdesk to join a PC to the domain (user cannot join the PC to the domain on their own). 2 - Helpdesk creates the Computer object with specified name in AD and assigns domain join permissions to the specific user. ("the following user or group can join this computer to a domain"). 3 - User then joins the Computer with the same name to the domain. I would appreciate any feedback and/or sound advice on this. Thanks very much. Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130568

    - specifying DC to use during a promo? I have an issue with a remote site where it complains about a schema update needed.. i'd like to force this machine when it promo's to use my FSMO dc as its original replication point. I understand theres an /adv switch with DCPROMO.. I ran it in my test environment but I didn't see a place where I could specify which DC to replicate from. I saw that I could pick either replication from a DC or from a file backup.. so I chose DC.. but was never able to specify.. anyone have any idea? Tag: DIGITAL TV Tag: 130563

    - GUI folders missing in \\sysvol\domain\policies Long short story. One domain - 1 DC 1 month ago created the 2nd DC -> 1 domain 2 DCs One of the DC become hw unstable (the 1st dc in the domain - old machine) and I had to demote it using /forcedemote switch. Cleaned up AD using ntdsutil. status: 1 domain - 1 DC 1 week ago promoted another DC -> 1 domain - 2 DCs Immediately after I found out that sysvol folder was missing. I've recreated the sysvol folder and subfolders using the D2 and D4 reg values. Yesterday after I checked the sysvol folder and I noticed that under \\sysvol\domain\policies there were no folders (GUI with brackets). I checked the advanced tab in AD\users and computers\system\default domain policy also nothing there but tones of event id :1030 source:usernv. "Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this." GPMC cannot find path in group policy objects for DC policy, domain policy and sp users logon deny. At this point I do have only a copy of the sysvol folder that was taken 1 month ago from the 1st DC that has been forcedemoted. The GUI folders all three of them are there. They seem to be intact. 1. Is there any possibility to restore those policies having those folders from backup? 2. If not what would be the consequences if I use dcgpofix? Thank you very much in advance.

    - Mass update of sapUsername attribute Hi there, I have a list of users (not all) in one of my OUs that I need to updat by adding the attribute sapUsername with the value specific for them. e.g. sAMAccountName is Test.User1 then sapUsername is TUSER1 sAMAccountName is Test.User2 then sapUsername is TUSER2 However, i have over 300 users to update and doing this manually is no an ideal situation! Is their any way i can mass upload these?
