    - How to change My Documents folder location for all domain users Hi all, I have configured Samba - PDC on ubuntu 8.04 and winXP clients. Domai logins are working without any problem. How do i map the My Document folder to a network drive for all users. I know you can do this if i wa using a ADS on Windows. But, i don't have an ADS on windows but a PDC o Linux. Is there a tweak on winxp where i can redirect the my documents folde to a network drive no matter which user logs into the machine.

    - After demoting a DC (sites and services) Hi, I did a DCpromo today on an old box that is being removed. In sites and services I can still see the server there (but obviously no replication partners). The dcpromo demotion was sucessful. Does it just take a while before it removes the object from sites and services? Thanks, Tag: Event Tag: 134002

    - Domain login problem after AD restore Hope you guys can give me some pointers here. The client is a school and these are the details of the issue: The main server (â??server1â??, for staff) was derived from earlier NT4 box that has been upgraded and moved around over the years. It had exchange 5.5 and was then upgraded first to windows 2000, then exchange 2000. It's hard disk has been cloned and moved into a newer server. It was once the only server, 18 months ago it was upgraded to server 2003R2, with some difficulty from exchange 2000 failing. Its been stable for 18 months. Server2 (for pupils) was added at some point after the first win2k server came, and was a domain controller and global catalog with server in the domain â??schoolâ??. All master and schema roles etc were on server1. At the end of last term I tried to upgrade exchange to 2003. It failed due to the domain controllers not being in sync. Looking at the system logs there has been a problem since April 14th. In looking at the AD connector on exchange 2000 a permissions message was returned. At this point the users disappeared from server1, but were still ok on server2. Backups were taken and a third server (server3) introduced, with some success. The exchange data was moved to server2. Foolishly I then tried to upgrade the exchange here, and guess what, the users disappeared on server2 and server3! I then restored the AD from server2 from July 18th back to server2 (server1 had shadow copy in backup exec but no system state backup). I forcibly did a dcpromo /remove on server1, so itâ??s a standalone as there did not seem much point in keeping it, I regret it now. The users reappeared on server2, and with a little more configuration it looks good, you can create new users (there are around 200) and share folders etc. All the shares are correct. The exchange data is however â??stuckâ?? here as the AD restore also restores the registry, so this is another issue! The main problems are that you cannot login to server2, even though it claims to be a DC with all roles â?? things like netlogon, sysvol share etc are all there. You cannot join server1 (or server3) to the domain. You cannot run a terminal server session on it. You can login on a workstation, but it's so slow its obviously not right (dns screams at me here?) Nslookup fails on any other server looking at server2 as dns. If you ping server2â??s fqdn it fails (but it's ok on server2 itself). Dcdiag and event logs show very little to help. Just wondering if anyone can give me some pointers. I have eliminated any physical possibilities like NIC drivers, switching, cabling etc and am pretty sure it's DNS (things like this always seem to be DNS!) but I am kind of banging my head against a brick wall here. In essence, I need to get Server2 to accept logins and allow server1 (or server3) to be a AD server. Then I can tackle the Exchange issue on server2. Thanks a lot guys. Tag: Event Tag: 133992

    - folder redirection error My Setup: Windows Server 2003R2 File Server Active Directory Domain I have a policy set up to redirect the user's my documents to their 'home folder' On the user's account properties their home folder is set to 'connect u to' \\usd\homedirs\staff\hs\%username%' for example. So I have my user s home folder pointing to the home folders share via dfs. The folder was created by AD This works perfect with windows xp my users documents are redirected no problem. In windows vista this is not the case. The documents are not being redirected, in sync center there is an error staff (\\usd\homedirs) - Access is denied. Why would this be happening?

If you have a good article. I am reading about how to apply but does it really work without affecting other computers or users?

    - Failed DCPROMO?? This morning to promo'd out what I believed to be a NT BDC promoted to PDC, then upgraded to Win2000. The demotion I guess went ok, users can log in, no calls etc . . But when I look at our AD-DNS, the old DC is still listed as a name server. When I look at ADSites and Services, he's still listed in my site, but there is no NTDS listed. If I look at Computer Mangement\Sessions there are a handful of users connected, but no open files. And what's the deal in Sites and Services when links aren't automatically created? I forget. But I have a handful of links that were manually created... So - should I wait for my four sites to replicate for that old DC to drop out of DNS, and sites and services or do I have a problem??

    - server 2000 (single domain name) to server 2008 migration + domain rename So I have a windows 2000 domain controller with a single label domain name. Nobody uses it as a domain controller, just to access shares stored on it. but now we need to migrate it to windows 2008 and make it work like a domain controller without loosing the user passwords and share permissions. (all users have accounts on it, they just type their passwords when accessing shares). I tried to add a secondary domain controller with windows 2008 to it and wanted to rename it later. but even after transfering all the roles to it it didn't work. Tried to follow this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300684 about working with single domains. But that broke my DNS server, it won't start anymore. and doesn't start after reverting the changes also. dcdiag says that Global Catalog, PDC, and KDC could not be found. The DNS zone was active directory integrated. I do have backups, so I could try to do this again if I can find out where did I go wrong an what precautions should I take next time.

    - 2003 DC hangs at 'applying computer settings' on reboot I have a strange problem. 1 of 2 DCs (not the PDCe or FSMO) rebooted/crashed yesterday and it looked like a power failure as the reason came up unknown and there were no errors/warnings in event log. I also checked the HP logs as this is a Proliant server ML350. I removed the network connection and it booted up OK- notwithstanding the expected errors. I was able to start the sevrices manually and get the DC online. Now I am trying to find the problem. I am leading towards a GP or DNS issue. Otherwise, the only possible issue was that it had been pointing to itself as the time source and not the PDCe. I corrected that but didnt reboot yet as I am letting it run overnight. Anything else possible with above scenario- oh, I know about the old APC issue and we fixed that years ago. Much regards Cranky Tag: Event Tag: 133895

    - Backup/restore ADAM database Hi, Is there a way to backup/restore only the ADAM database (including passwords) without backing up/restoring the system state ? (the instance may be created manually or by a script before prior to restoring the database). I tried to check this by backing up on machine1 and then trying to restore it on machine2 in the most straight-forward way, but obviously this doesn't work: 1) Backup the database files (%program files%/%instance dir%) on machine1. 2) Install an instance (manually / using a script) on machine2. 3) Copy the backup file from machine1 to machine2. 4) Stop the instance service on machine2. 5) Try to restore the database on machine2. 6) Start the instance service on machine2. --> The service starts and then immediately stops.

    - DHCP Server Reboots and Acts Like Domain Controller We have a Windows 2000 DHCP controller with two scopes that was well-behaved for about 18 months. We rebooted it today after a power outage and we got a rude awakening when the computer refuses to reboot giving a modal dialog on reboot that says something like: "Directory services could not start because of the following error: the event log is corrupted. Error status: 0xc00018e." So what is interesting here is that this is a dedicated DHCP server and is NOT a domain controller. The DHCP server has woken up as a domain controller, or at least it is attempting to become one. No one ever attempted a DCPROMO on this computer. If you hit OK on the dialog the computer reboots. If you attempt to boot in safe mode, the computer will not reboot and gives the same modal error. If you reboot in directory services recovery mode, it becomes quickly obvious that the event viewer logs are NOT corrupted in any way. You can wipe them clean and start them all over and it won't change the behavior in any way. If you scan the event logs while logged into the directory services recovery mode, what is strange is that the Directory Services log has one message that is an error 1473 that says something like: "Intersite Messaging Service failed to read the configuration of the Intersite Transports out of the Directory." and the reason given is the computer doesn't have authority. So this message further reinforces the idea that the DHCP server is trying to behave similar to a domain controller. This is the second time in six months we have lost a DHCP server to this behavior. The first time it was a Windows 2000 DHCP server in a lab environment. Does anyone have any insights on how a computer gets into this strange mode and how we can reverse the behavior to recover the computer as a member server? -- Will Tag: Event Tag: 133886

    - Active Directory "ignoring" Apple Macbook Pro Recently we attempted to bind an Apple Macbook Pro to Active directory. We accidentally named the MBP as the name of the Domain Controller. This, of course, set in motion a week's worth of fun. However, now that everything is fixed, this MacBook Pro is unable to access the exchange server while on the network through MS Entourage. It cannot be bound to the network. When attempting to do so we get an immediate response that there is no connectivity to the domain. However, the machine uses the network resources to browse the network, connect to windows shares, use networked printers, and connect to the internet. The laptop, when not connected to the network, can connect to the Exchange server. We have reset the computer in Active Directory, as well have having completely rebuilt the MacBook Pro. We're at a loss as to where Active Directory is somehow blacklisting or ignoring the machine. We thought it might be MAC address of the network interface, so for a few hours this morning the user was hard wired, vs wireless, and was working, however somehow that network interface is blocked now as well. Please help, as the user having the issues is the VP of IT. We are at a complete loss and tempers are starting to flare. :) Thanks. Tag: Event Tag: 133869

Next I ran DCPROMO on this machine, and selected the options to make the server a secondary DC of the existing domain. Since then, some user started having networking problems.. for example when trying to access the Intranet, they wer asked for user credentials..

I'm thinking that maybe I need to run a script or something at boot to accomplish this? I have a group that I would like to give administrative access to all machines in my domain. Thanks, Mark Tag: Event Tag: 133784

    - Rename user login IDs Hi, We have a mix of Windows 2000 / Windows 2003 domains in a single forest. We are upgrading to 2003 & expected to complete soon. Currently the user login ID in our organization follows <firstname><first letter of last name> If it conflicts with any existing users, various permutation & combinations are tried :-) Now our management want to standardize on creating AD login IDs based on user's employee ID. They want it to be rolled out for exisiting users aswell, where in all their exisiting login IDs need to be changed to their respective employee IDs. Please let me know the best way to achieve this. Also share if there are any best practices & field experience of this sort. Thanks in advance!! -- Best Regards, Buddi Tag: Event Tag: 133783

    - Duplicated servers on isolated networks Hello, We have duplicated a few servers (using virtualization) off the live network for testing applications. We are looking to bring these duplicated servers online (total of 6, including three DCs, one IIS, one terminal, one Sql server). We have requested the network team to separate & isolate these duplicated servers on a different vlan, but still allow a few live production workstations on the network to be able to remote (RDP) in these duplicate machines for testing. My concern is as follows: What if the live and duplicate servers somehow able to communicate with each other? What potential problem are we looking at? The servers will contain identical names but with different IP addresses. We are on Windows 2003 infrastructure with DNS/WINS running. Thanks in advance, Tnt Tag: Event Tag: 133778
