NTDS KCC 1308
Seems like I have some issues with replication... I have an exisiting W2k
domain and I have added a secondary DC running W2003 R2 to the domain. Here
is the error message I'm receiving on the new secondary DC running Windows
2003.
Source: NTDS KCC
Category: Knowledge Consistency
Event ID: 1308
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected that successive
attempts to replicate with the following domain controller has consistently
failed.
Attempts:
20
Domain controller:
CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=name,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain name,DC=com
Period of time (minutes):
129
The Connection object for this domain controller will be ignored, and a new
temporary connection will be established to ensure that replication
continues. Once replication with this domain controller resumes, the
temporary connection will be removed.
Any ideas?

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.

Logon as a service, batch job, and act as part of the operating system?
Gurus,
You know when you install a third-party application which need a
domain-level service account to run, and you install the service and then
during or after the installation when you tell the service who to log on as,
a dialog box pops up and says "XXX service has been given the following
rights: ..." I forgot what those rights were. Aren't they:

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.

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. We thought about using a DC in a seperate site, but with
replication taking 15 minutes between sites (we're still in a Win2K
functional level), mgt really didn't like that option.

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).
Any guidance on where to start trouble shooting would be really appreciated!

Rename DC
Hi,
The Windows 2003 MCSE Self Paced Training Kit says in order to rename a

can I just rename the DC and reboot? When it comes back up and starts the
netlogon service won't it just re-register its SRV records in DNS/AD? Thanks.

"An operations error occurred"
Hi,
I'm having a problem querying active directory. It happens so far
only on one computer under a particular user account. Things seem to
work fine for that user on another computer, and if I logon to her
computer the query works fine as well. here is the C# code I'm using
to do the query:
private static DirectoryEntry GetUserEntry( WindowsIdentity
ident ) {
string directoryServer;
DirectorySearcher searcher;
DirectoryEntry domainEntry, result;
SearchResult results;
string userName;
result = null;
using ( domainEntry = new DirectoryEntry( "LDAP://rootdse" ) ) {
directoryServer = domainEntry.Invoke(
"GET",
"defaultNamingContext"
).ToString();
}
if ( string.IsNullOrEmpty( directoryServer ) ) {
throw new InvalidOperationException(
Properties.Resources.CannotDetermineDirectoryServer
);
}
if ( directoryServer.StartsWith( @"\\" ) ) {
directoryServer = directoryServer.Substring( 2 );
}
using ( domainEntry = new DirectoryEntry(
string.Format( "LDAP://{0}", directoryServer ) ) ) {
userName = ident.Name;
if ( userName.IndexOf( @"\" ) > -1 ) {
userName =
userName.Substring( userName.IndexOf( @"\" ) + 1 );
}

searcher = new DirectorySearcher(
domainEntry,
string.Format( "SAMAccountName={0}", userName )
)
) {
results = searcher.FindOne();
result = results.GetDirectoryEntry();

What should forest/domain be called - questions on name usage
Hi there.
We've got an AD domain whch is named after our company name. So it is
COMPANY-NAME.COM
(I did not set this up).
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?

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!

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.

have a problem. Do we need explicit permissions in the parent domain? If so,
how can I grant it?
I can migrate objects with an AD account but this account does not have
access to install the ADMT agent on the workstations...so I can't get the
domain membership to change or the security translation to run.

know I can use ADMT to do this. But my situation is as follows:
ABC. com and XYZ. com. We have trust setup between domains.
Users already have domain accounts in ABC.com and they use file server in
ABC. com. The same user also have domain account set up for xyz.com . This
account is being used for e-mail only. So, basically users logs on to ABC.com
and use the file server etc., with using ABC.com domain user name and
password. When they check e-mail, they use XYZ.com username and password.
Now that we are ready to merge both domain to one and it will become
ABC.com, how the user accounts are going to be merged? Is the domain sid for
XYZ.com will be merged with ABC.com domain user sid? What exactly needs to
happen here to make a successful migration of user account and migrating
mailboxes from XYZ.com to ABC.com
Thanks.

ADAM in DMZ proxy bind to AD
Hello,
I've been stuggling with the following scenario, and none of my web
searching has found the answers. I hope someone here can help out.
I have an Win2k3 Active Directory domain running inside my firewall and want
to allow an external website to provide LDAP authentication to our users. I
don't want to open a firewall hole straight to the DC, so thought ADAM in the
DMZ with simple binding would work a treat. I need to be able to enumerate
the groups that each user is in, but only under a specific OU as in the
config below.
Can someone please provide guidance, preferably in a step-by-step, on how to
get ADAM to do simple proxy binds from a workground in a DMZ to a DC in the
internal network?
I have tried creating an ADAM instance using the wizard, importing my AD
schema (from schema analyzer), loading MS-UserProxy and ADAMSyncMetaData,
config my XML file, but no go. My file so far is below the sig. Thanks to
anyone who can help me out!

servers AD computer name and authentication
Hello-
I have a simple question that I just cant remember the answer to.
I am restoring an image of one of our servers that is on our domain to a
different piece of hardware using acronis universal restore. If I do this
and when I fire the system up on different hardware am I going to run into
problems with the active directory computer account?
I am going to do this because this server has had a hardware failure and it
will be a few days before a replacement can arrive...so I guess a follow up
question would be when I restore an image from the temporary one back to its
"home machine" am I going to run into any issues with the AD computer account
then?
Thanks! Tag: Empty Subject in outlook Tag: 125227
windows server 2003 AD deleting a site
Hi,
I have the following scenario:
Site A, Site B and Site C
they are all connected to each other via fibre optic, site A is the master,
it has the 1st AD, the exchange server 2003, site B and C are the branch
offices so only 1 server (domain controller) there.
i am about to move all the servers in site A to site C, is it better to run
DCpromo to remove AD in the Site C server first or can I just delete the
site from the Active Directory Sites and Services? the thing is that I will
be changing the IP address of Site C to be same as Site A.
I'd appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks,

How to Block Specific Web Sites Using AD / Group Policy
I'm having limited success blocking the web proxy site https://kproxy.com.
I've tried blocking by URL, all of the 17 IP addresses, etc.
Anything I can do within Group Policy to block that site and all of its 17
web servers. It would be something akin to a hosts file on steroids which
could be applied to all computers. Tag: Empty Subject in outlook Tag: 125209
Migrating Schema Extentions with AD Groups
I have a question and I hope it makes some kind of sense.
My company has our application tied into AD. We perform a schema
extension and then a security group known in our application as a "role"
is placed in a OU. The only way to modify a role is within our
application and you can define what role has rights to do certain things
in our application. Next you can define the users attached to that role
either through our application or within AD by making that user a member
of the security group.
I need to migrate the users, their passwords, and the groups they are
assigned. I can do this with ADMTv3 but how can I migrate the schema
extensions tied to those "roles" aka security groups. If I use ADMTv3
when I launch the application the roles are empty.
Unfortunately I did not write the code so I have no idea how this works
with the AD Schema extension. I simply run a script in new domains to
create the extension. I must migrate however because this customer has
created several of their own extensions now.
I have domain X and Domain Y
Domain X=Bad
Domain Y=Fresh and New
The wrong people had control of domain X and this is why we are
migrating everything to the new domain and dissolving domain X. Tag: Empty Subject in outlook Tag: 125206
Domain Name on Install of AD
I'm finally moving my NT 4.0 SBS to Windows 2003. We have a small network
with one internal domain "NTDOMAIN" (not ntdomain.anything). I have DNS
running on a Windows 2000 server. I'm a little confused as to what i'm going
to end up with when I switch us to the Windows 2003 Server.
Because the SBS server hardware will not handle an upgrade, i'm going to
install NT 4.0 server on a new box and upgrade it to Windows 2003 and retire
the SBS server. I'm walking through the steps of the install to ensure i have
all my ducks in a row prior to the install.
When i get to installing AD I understand it will ask me to create a new
domain (Domain in a new forest)..
1. will it use "NTDOMAIN" at this point?
2. When it asks me to type full DNS name of the domain. do I use
ntdomain.loc (we don't have a registered name and have no need for one)
3. Can i change my domain to something else "newdomainname.loc" at any
point or am i stuck with NTDOMAIN.loc?
appreciate any help... not very good with domain name stuff.

2003 to 2008 Question
My existing environment is AD 2003 native, with Exchange 2003 SP2. We have
11 domain controllers across 7 sites.
My plan is to build a 2008 server then forest and domain prep the 2003 AD to
2008, then dcpromo the 2008 member server to a DC. We would then gradually,
â??leap-froggingâ?? replace each 2003 DC at the 7 sites after a 2008 DC was
brought online ad replicated to.
We also are going to install Exchange 2007 SP1 on 2008 during this time.
I basically justed wanted to know if anyone has experienced any â??gotchaâ??sâ??
while running mixed mode 2003/2008 with Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007
running at the same time while slowly transitioning? Tag: Empty Subject in outlook Tag: 125204
