New DC not sharing sysvol after dcpromo in domain with 1 other unhealthy dc
I can't replace my old unhealthy DC with my new healthy DC. When I try
sysvol does not replicate. Event log tells me that replication canno
find the domain. But i don't understand why because I can ping th
domain, and the dc's, and all users can log on and retrieve g
settings.
I tried deleting the old DC once before I realized the new DC i ha
promoted wasn't sharing sysvol. Now my network is a mess. Because
tried to delete the old DC before it's replacement was full
operational, DNS got screwed up. I tried to manually rebuild dns
ms-kb, but as you'll see from the dcdiag output, there must still b
more to do. Please. any help. I am going crazy.

roomNumber attribute - Type Mismatch?
I use AD Explorer to add values to the roomNumber attribute of users. When I
read these later using VBScript, I get Type Mismatch errors whenever there is
a value present... it's a Unicode string, yet it doesn't act like a string!
Always errors out when I attempt to read it.
Example:
Dim objComm, objRecordSet, strDNSDomain, objConn
Dim strQuery, strFilter
set objComm = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objComm.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
objComm.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
objConn.ActiveConnection = objComm
objConn.Properties("Page Size") = 10
strFilter = "(&(objectClass=person)(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=Person))"
objConn.CommandText = "<LDAP://DC=corp,DC=mydomain,DC=net>;" & strFilter &
";cn,sAMAccountName,roomNumber,distinguishedName;subtree"
Set objRecordset = objConn.Execute(strQuery)
objRecordset.MoveFirst
While Not objRecordSet.EOF
WScript.Echo objRecordSet.Fields("roomNumber")

Disabling User Accounts After Inactivity
Is there a feature in Active Directory that can be set to disable user
accounts after an account has been inactive for a certain amount of time?
Currently we run scripts to identify accounts true last logon date and then
we disable them. Can this be set up automatically through Active Directory Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132257
Would Active directory application mode work in this scenario?
We have a situation where our organization is represented as an OU in
the overall corporate directory.
We have our own admins for the OU, however the Enterprise Admins for
the corporate AD reside elsewhere( in a diff country).
For some reason we are not comfortable with the EA's and do not want
them to be messing around with the users and groups within our OU.
However I understand that in AD, forest is a security boundary and
there is no way one can prevent EA's within that forest. Moving out of
the corporate forest and creating one AD forest for ourselves is not
an option with us due to the expense involved.
The issue is that we have a certain application which we want to guard
and donot want any other to launch it except one of those within our
OU. At present AD users would simply launch this app, it would check
whether that user belongs to one of the groups in our OU , if yes it
will run under the context of the user and perfrom its work. Here is
the EA's can create a user and add it to one of our groups and gain
access to our application.
Also this application unfortunatley needs windows tokens to work i.e.
an ADAM logon token wont work.
We are thinking of using ADAM ( inexpensive to maintain ) and
exporting all our users and groups from our OU in AD to within ADAM.
The user name and passwords of ADAM users will be known to our ppl
only and being a diff boundary the corporate directory EA's wont be
able to get in.
We can then require the users to launch an application x whcih would
authenticate against ADAM , if successful that application would lauch
our application but it does so in a manner that the second application
gets launched under the context of a AD user. That is the first
application x verifies the user name and password against the ldap
store in ADAM , if successful some kind of programming converts this
to the AD logon token of a respective user in our OU in the AD and
then launches the hidden application under the creds of AD user.
I dont know whether the above made any sence but any help is
appreciated. Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132255
802.1x, Computers, Wired Security
Howdy,
I am trying to setup 802.1x using HP's IDM and W2K3 IAS. I am able to get
the user to authenticate to IAS once they have logged on to Windows. The
problem is I cannot get the computer to authenticate which is an issue
because none of the GPO's will be refreshed at boot up. I've exported my CA's
root certificate and have imported it into a GPO so that I can see it listed
under Trusted Root Certification Authorities on the client so I'm not sure
what I am missing. Does the client computer need to have a cert? Here is my
setup and the error from the IAS server is below...

Merging active directory + NT4 domain
I am part of of a large government organisation which has recentl
merged with another much smaller organisation. Our organisation is stil
running an NT4 domain with Exchange 5.5 - however the smalle
organisation already has an active directory installed, but n
centralised email system.
We are planning to set up a new Active Directory for the entire ne
organisation, however there is a very strong push to give the smalle
organisation access to Exchange before this takes place. Managements
current idea is to set-up a separate Exchange server in the Exchange 5.
site and then grant access to the smaller orgs AD via a domain trust.
I feel that they are going about this the wrong way and that we shoul
migrate/merge as follows:
1) upgrade the NT4 domain to AD (still running Ex5.5)
2) install an Ex2003 into the new AD
3) do an AD migration of the smaller org into the new AD and give thes
users accounts on the Ex2003 server
4) migrate the Ex5.5 users to Ex2003
Does anyone have any ideas/recommendations?
Thanks

AD user account Security modified automatically?
OK, I have a good one for all AD guru's...
Domain Windows 2003 (SP2), SINGLE DC
I have an account (I admit, MINE, the network admin) wich for some
reason, when I add an account (a Blackberry related, so SEND AS is
enabled) to the security tab, it keeps disapearing away at interval
(have not look at exactly, so I suspect it is a default AD review
time), even if that Blackberry account is also propagated to all the
other users in the same OU I am a member.
I tried auditing, I am uncertain exactly WHAT I should auti to find
the reason behind this.
I can't think of any kind of exceptions or Group policies that could
cause that Blackbery account to be removed from my security
Anyone with an idea or troubleshooting steps?
Or more so, how to force whatever event is removing the account so I
can more easily find it in the security event log?

Date format on server and client
Hi,
We are deploying active directory on windows server 2003 R2 SP2 and windows
XP Pro SP2 and SP3 clients. It seems on rare occasions, the date format used
on the client computer changes to the one that is used on the server. We are
in Canada so the date format should be dd/mm/aaaa but on the server it was
set to aaaa/mm/dd. The client computer has the right settings localy, but
sometimes it picks up this odd date format. I was wondering if there is a way
for me to change this.
I tried changing the date format on the server, but it didnt change anything
on the client, after the gpupdate or a new session. If i open a session
locally on the client, the date format is ok, but connected to the domain,
it's wrong. It seems also i dont see this happening on every station.
Any hint ?
If you need more info, let me know. Thanks for your time.

I followed the instructions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q288991/
I allowed a particular account in and given them full control. (In my
case, the parent folder I applied the permissions to is D:\Redirects)
In order to reapply permissions on all objects, I had to take
ownership of the files and folders. Subfolders (the user folders) are
not inheriting permissions from D:\Redirects)
Here's where I'm confused:
Creator Owner is set to Full Control on D:\Redirects, but even though
I've reapplied ownership for each user on those objects in their
folders, Effective Permissions doesn't show them to have full control
on the objects.
My goal: Allow Administrators FC to ALL user's redirected folders and
their contacts and to allow each uesr FC access to their own folder
and objects.

Merge / consolidate GPO's
Hi,
I need to consolidate multiple group policies into one. However I would like
to avoid having to do this manually and was wondering if a tool existed which
could merge policy settings.
The import functionality within GPMC doesn't do it, it just overwrites any
existing settings.
I've looked into powershell scripts and 3rd party tools and cannot fins
anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

A SHOCKING NEWS from Microsoft.......
It's really a hot news for everyone
http://polticsinfs.blogspot.com/ Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132180
finding out client name for a user logging in to a remote server
I have a requirement to display last successful logon for an account and
the location from which that logon occurred. When a user logs on to a
workstation the location would of course be the hostname of that
workstation. I'm using Visual Basic Scripting to do this. It was working
fine until today while I was of course showing it to our security person.
Even though I took into account when the user logs on to a workstation
and the %CLIENTNAME% environment variable is not set, it seems that for
some reason when logging onto a server %CLIENTNAME% can be set to
"console" sometimes. This is strange considering I'm not asking for the
Session Name which can be "console". I'm asking for the Client Name.
When %CLIENTNAME% equals "console" when running my script or when
running the 'set' command, if I look at the Users tab in Task Manager
the Client Name is still the hostname of the maching I'm using to remote
into the server.
Strangely, I thought that on the Users tab the Session Name would be
listed as "console" when I use Remote Desktop to logon to the console of
the server. I'm using Win2k3 R2. The Session name is always a RDP
session # whether I connect to the console or not. But that's not
something I'm worrying about at the moment.
Can anyone explain to me the circumstances that cause %CLIENTNAME% to be
set to "console" as opposed to the user's workstation? I could test for
it in my script if I knew the conditions under which it occurs. I'm
currently using the following to grab the variable:
strFromHost = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%CLIENTNAME%")
Thanks

Windows XP Mini-Setup not joining computers to existing account in
We have a Win XP SP2 standard image we deploy onto a lot of our computers.
The image has been sysprep'd and when booted, it goes through XP's Mini Setup
using sysprep.inf to answer all questions except Computer Name.
What we've tried doing is creating machine accounts in Active Directory
(2003 Mixed Mode) in the OUs that we want the computers to end up in, and
then (days later) booted the machines and allowed them to join the domain
during Mini Setup. However, instead of joining the existing accounts, Mini
Setup is creating a NEW account in the Computers OU in the root of AD. So now
I have two machine accounts in AD with the same name. I have to track down
the other account, delete it, and move the computer into that container a few
minutes later after replication has finished.
As far as I'm aware, this isn't the way its meant to work, is it? In Windows
XP, if you join a computer to the domain by hand (outside of Mini Setup), it
joins the existing account. Shouldn't the same happen in Mini Setup, or is
there something I'm missing?

Certificate Help
Hello,
I've just installed our first Enterprise Root CA on one of our DC's running
W2K3 Standard SP2. On another DC I'm trying to request a computer
certificate, but am having trouble. When I go to the web page to request an
advanced cert I am given the option of Administrator/Basic EFS/EFS Recovery
Agent/User/Subordinate CA/Web Server. Am I missing something? I need a
computer certificate becuase this DC is also my RADIUS server and I need a
cert inorder to setup PEAP.

AD Replication Monitor
I ran the AD Replication Monitor. Under Current Transitive Replication
Partner Status I am showing 7 "Partner Name: **DELETED SERVER #7". What
exactly is this telling me? Is this a previous dc that didn't get deleted

history on this domain. Thanks! Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132149
Adding Domain Controller
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?

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.

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: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software 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?

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.

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: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132110

Unable to create Domain on Server 2008
When running 'dcpromo' I receive the following error: 'The new domain cannot
be created because the local Administrator account password does not meet
requirements.' I have tried multiple passwords using 6 or more Upper case,
Lower case, & Special characters. This is a new server setup with no existing
domains. Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132094
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: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132093
Password policy
We have Windows 2003 domain and we are in the process of implementing
password policy across the domain.
What will be the suggested/ recommended pathway to exclude administrator/
special purpose admin related accouts from this password policy?

Automate home directory for a new user
All, How can I automate the creation of a users home directory, when the
user is created in AD? I am not wanting to use the my documents folder
redirection, but rather still with standard drive mappings.
Thanks! Tag: Good Morning Friends Free download software and watch software Tag: 132077
