I have searched for hours on this and tried all of the suggestions such as clearing the MUP cache, resetting the permissions on the gpt.ini file and it's parent folders, etc. However, the problem persists. There doesn't seem to be any ill effects from it, but it's quite annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Deny Simultaneous Logins to All Users EXCEPT Admin? Windows 2000 Small Business Server With Windows XP Pro Workstations I am using roaming profiles and folder redirections. I want to restrict individual users to only one (1) login on one PC at any given time (no simultaneous logins by any given user). However, I want the Admin users to have multiple simultaneous logins possible. Do I simply put a script (see below) in each user's login profile and omit it from the Admin users? Any caveats? Any better suggestions? e.g.: http://windowsitpro.com/articles/print.cfm?articleid=82454 Thanks. Fred Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125761

    - Authentication doesn't fail over to additional DC's Hi, I have 8 domain controllers in our enterprise. 6 are located at other geographical sites and 2 are located in our central datacenter. All domain controllers are handling logon requests through the enterprise. I assumed I should be able to shut down one of the DC's in the datacenter without causing logon issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case -- even if I transfer the PDC emulator role to another DC. Users start calling the HelpDesk saying they can't log on but more importantly, our BizTalk server won't authenticate and all users are denied access to our intranet site which relies on BizTalk. Once the DC controller is back on line, everything goes back to normal. I've talked with the team controlling the BizTalk server and they assure me that don't have any dependencies written into the server configuration requiring that one DC to be online. I can shut down other DC's with no interruption to authentication. Any ideas? Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125758

    - Signing into wrong DC when launching "AD Users and Computers" Our network has many different geographical locations around the world. 1 Forest, 1 Domain, several DC's (All 2003 except 1, and it is a 2000 DC). When I launch Active Directory Users and Computers (or GPMC, etc...), It has been taking a few minutes to open up. I was looking at it yesterday and noticed that the DC I was logging into was at a site (Germany) other than mine (US). I was able to right click and change what DC I wanted to be connected to, but it does not keep that setting. I have been on the Google and Microsoft site, but the keywords I am using do not seem to help. If anyone has any ideas to help assist, I would appreciate it greatly.

    - Server failure I have a couple of servers at a site. One original server running 2000 and the other recently added 2003. Both were domain controllers. Running in mixed mode. The 2000 box collapsed and died early today. Slammed in a DHCP scope on the 2003 box and we're golden. Print services were on the 2000 machine but I'm well on my way to getting that together. I should be raising the domain functional level to 2003 mode now I assume. The new DHCP scope points the dns to the 2003 servers ip instead of the 2000 machine but I'm getting some small delays in net view and basic network browsing. What else should I be doing? We have domain logins and access as before but I'm sure there's something else to do. Thanks for your help. Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125692

    - reverse lookup dns zone Hi All: I'm having a hard time getting a clear answer on the following. I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory with about 300 machines, all belonging to a single domain. If its relevant, I do run a RAS server and exchange server and otherwise, pretty standard stuff. In this type of environment, in my DNS, do I need a reverse lookup zone? I believe I understand if I don't have one that I won't, as an admin, be able to do nslookup <ip address> and get a computer name back. Would this also mean that tracert wouldn't be able to resolve an address to a name? I know that the reverse lookup to the mail server must be valid as this is used as a spam prevention technique. But outside of this, in this basically flat network topology, do I need a lookup zone? Any info or advice or what having the reverse lookup gets me in this environment is much appreciated! Thanks!

    - Fixing domain name A few years ago when I installed a Win2K Server, I mistakenly created the domain as "ab.abc.com" when I really wanted it to be "abc.com". I am now replacing the server with Windows Server 2003 on a new machine. The two servers must overlap in time on the network so that I have time for application migration, etc. How do I promote the new server to the PDC _and_ fix up the domain name? Or, should I just start from scratch creating the domain with the correct name? Before this new server there was - and after the migration there will be - only one server in existance in the domain. BTW, This is the second time that I've done something like this wrong. On another occasion, I ended up with a domain named abc.abc.com when, of course, I really wanted abc.com. Any ideas what my misunderstanding was when I created these domain names in the first place? Clearly, I answered some question incorrectly and I must avoid doing this again. Any help and advice is grgeatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, David Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125684

    - How to transfer domain controller roles Hi, I have a client who has two windows 2003 domain controllers - DC1 & DC2. I was told that DC1 has all the forest info and DC2 may not have all the info. DC1 is also the DHCP server. Both are DNS servers. DC1 one has a strange issue - Its MMC is acting up. Sometimes it opens up and sometimes it won't. Microsoft connected to the machine and after two days they gave up. We are thinking about re-installing the OS on DC1. What would be the proper way to achieve this objective....that is to have two domain controllers again in the end with all the AD info intact and not have to change anything on the client's side. If needed, we are willing to use a 3rd server on a temporary basis as well. Or, can we do this by swapping roles etc. Please provide the steps. -- Network Admin Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125671

    - Forest Trust Hello All, We have 2 forests A and B; both have a child domain under it. We now have a two-way trust from child.A to child.B. I have created a Local Domain Group in child.A that contains a global security group from child.B. We have a website that requires integrated windows authentication. With just the group the users get access denied, but if I do add single users child.B to the local domain group in child.A then the users in child.B are able to access the website with no prompt for password [ie. windows authentication works properly].

    - dcpromo /forceremoval Good afternoon! I think that I know this, but I want to check.... If I use dcpromo /forceremoval to remove a dying DC and then clean things up (via the metadata cleanup and ntdsutil) and things have run nicely and cleanly for two months or more can I introduce - temporarily - a workstation or server that has the same computer name (actually, same FQDN) of the machine on which I performed a dcpromo /forceremoval? Here is why I ask: Had an older DC that continued to fail (hardware). Finally, client purchased replacement. Could not run dcpromo on failing server so used dcpromo /forceremoval. After that, cleaned up everything with our friend, ntdsutil. Environment is running nicely and cleaning since then. Let's say that the servername was DAFFY. In addition to being a DC/GC it was also the main file server (where the users "My Documents" were redirected, among other things). One of the lingering affects (no...not that...oh, lingering affects...not lingering objects) was that the usesrs of MS Access now have a multitude of choices when they synchronize - they click on the little drop down and choose the replica (do not worry what I mean here...not really the point). Client wants this cleaned up as half the entries point to \\DAFFY\blah\blah\blah\file.mdb and the like. Essentially we need to remove all replicas that reference DAFFY. According to some MS Access MVPs the only way to do that is to recreate the old directory structure and to then remove the replicas via normal methods (whatever that means...not an MS Access person).

    - logging IP address of User who authenticates with AD. I have been tasked with building a small solution that will log the IP address whenever an Active Directory server authenticates a User. I know that this capability is not "built in" to Active Directory. But is there a plugin architecture or something else I can tap into to build this with .NET or some other programming language?

    - group member limitation, any more? We are using Windows 2003 AD and running 2003 native mode. I remember in Windows 2000 the group has limitation of 5000 users. What is it in Windows 2003? Does it have any limit? Since everyone will be in the Domain Users group? Is there a limit in Windows 2003 for this group? How about Domain Computers? another question is how to change user's primary group. By default, they are in Domain users. The "set primary group" is greyed out. Is it due to my permission? I don't need to change it but would like to know how to change it. Thanks. Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125643

    - Controlling/Limiting impact of LDAP Referrals / remote sites down We have a misbehaving non-Microsoft LDAP web application. It does not know how to "not" chase LDAP Referrals. (We're working on that, but a fix is not imminent.) (A similar case is referenced in a thread called "Bizarre LDAP referral behavior" [referenced below].) Here is our situation. When a network link goes down without warning, the domain controller there is out-of-touch with the rest of the AD domain. Trouble is, there are seven (7) _ldap SRV records still in DNS, so AD/LDAP keeps trying to contact the down site when it following LDAP Referrals. This causes a delay of up to 90 seconds in the application. We workaround this issue by deleting the 7 _ldap SRV records from the central site. This allows the application to not experience a delay. When the site eventually comes back online, it's domain controller re-registers those 7 _ldap SRV records. Here are my questions: - Under normal conditions, if a domain controller is gracefully shutdown, does it de-register those _ldap records? (I think we only have an issue when the link goes down without warning.) - Are there any controlling mechanisms to reduce the 90-second delay when chasing LDAP referrals to the down site? - Can I somehow "automatically" have AD remove those SRV records at the central site, if it know the remote domain controller is unreachable? - Is there a way that from the central site, we don't see those _ldap SRV records in DNS? I'm thinking that would stop the LDAP referrals. I believe I can tell the remote domain controller to NOT register its _ldap records, but that seems like it would break local applications such as Outlook.

    - Win2K3 Domain Controllers - DR Exercises I had a DR question that I'm pretty confident someone here could answer for me, and it would be much appreciated! My company has 3 sites, for the sake of this post I will call them HQ, DR-Site1, and DR-Site2. Our HQ site has 3 domain controllers, and each DR-Site has 1 single domain controller. During our DR exercises that occur twice a year, we sever the connection to our HQ site and rely on only the DC's and resources that we restore from backup at each of the DR-Sites. Because of the large number of server restores we do along with the fact they are restored to different subnets, we find ourselves making a lot of changes to DNS records, WINS records, and computer accounts on the DC's at the DR-Sites. During these exercises, our HQ site continues normal business and the domain controllers here remain in production. They complain about no longer seeing/replicating with the DC's at the DR-Sites, but it does not impact production resources. At the conclusion of the exercises, our current method of getting everything back to normal is to perform metadata cleanup at the HQ site, blow away the DC's at the DR-Sites, and then rebuild/re-promote those DC's to get them back on the production network. While the metadata cleanup process isn't all that tedious, I've been wondering if another procedure might be less time consuming: Prior to the start of the DRE, take System State backups of the DC's at the DR-Sites. At the conclusion of the DRE, rather than metadata cleanup/rebuilds, couldn't we just use those System State backups and perform non-authoritative restores on the DR-Site domain controllers? If I understand correctly, the non-authoritative restores would tell the DR domain controllers that *their* AD data is incorrect/out-of- date and to replace it with the data from the production DC's. Is my logic here correct? Or should I just stick with the current method? Many thanks in advance! Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125618

    - ADprep question about going from 2000 to 2003 domain I will be updating our aging Windows 2000 AD domain (two Win2k servers) by introducing a third server which runs Windows Server 2003 (not R2). I need to run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep to prepare the Windows 2000 domain for Windows 2003 Server. However, MS's documentation states that if you want to upgrade to a Windows 2003 Server SP1 domain, you must also run adprep /domainprep /gpprep. The Windows 2003 Server I want to introduce into the domain has SP2 and the latest updates. Do I need to run adprep with the /gpprep switch as a third step in the process before bringing the new server into the domain?

    - Roaming Profiles and Redirected Folders Inconsistent I'm Running Windows 2000 Small Business Server as a PDC/DC/AD, DNS, and Terminal Server with a Windows 2003 Server running DHCP, DNS, and File Server. Clients are Windows XP Pro. On the W2K SBS, I set the default policy to include folder redirection of the users' "My Documents", etc. folders. In AD, I set the users profiles to be redirected (different path, same server, W2K3) as well. The redirection is not working consistently. I've had cases where a user logs in from one computer and their folders are redirected. The same user goes to another computer and logs in - the folders are NOT redirected. It is "hit and miss" as to whether the folders/profiles are redirected or not. What should I check to diagnose and fix these problems? What needs to be changed?

    - OU Security Delegation I created a group call dc-joincomputertodomain Ad and pupulated the memberlist with our servicedesk team. The service desk team is able to join computers to the domain, but they cannot move the computer object joined to the domain to the proper OU destination. So I created a new group called ServiceDesk_AD and populated the memberlist with the same users. I then delegated ServiceDesk_AD group to be able to modify COmputer Objects in the OU we want them to move computers to. But for some reason, when they join the computer to the domain, the newly created computer object is no inhereting the secuirty values from the parent. Any Ideas?

    - Receiving a File Replication Service error on 2 DC's. The 2 domain controllers receive Event ID's 13555 and 13552 every day a couple of times. Restarting the services did not fix the issue. All domain controllers are running Windows 2003 Standard sp1. These servers were cloned about 5 months ago on new hardware and that's when the problem started. We will be applying service pack 2 later today in hopes of fixing the issue. I would like other alternatives to try and remedy the problem instead of what the logs say. Event ID 13555 The File Replication Service is in an error state. Files will not replicate to or from one or all of the replica sets on this computer until the following recovery steps are performed: Recovery Steps: [1] The error state may clear itself if you stop and restart the FRS service. This can be done by performing the following in a command window: net stop ntfrs net start ntfrs If this fails to clear up the problem then proceed as follows. [2] For Active Directory Domain Controllers that DO NOT host any DFS alternates or other replica sets with replication enabled: If there is at least one other Domain Controller in this domain then restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and make it non-authoritative. If there are NO other Domain Controllers in this domain then restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and choose the Advanced option which marks the sysvols as primary. If there are other Domain Controllers in this domain but ALL of them have this event log message then restore one of them as primary (data files from primary will replicate everywhere) and the others as non-authoritative. [3] For Active Directory Domain Controllers that host DFS alternates or other replica sets with replication enabled: (3-a) If the Dfs alternates on this DC do not have any other replication partners then copy the data under that Dfs share to a safe location. (3-b) If this server is the only Active Directory Domain Controller for this domain then, before going to (3-c), make sure this server does not have any inbound or outbound connections to other servers that were formerly Domain Controllers for this domain but are now off the net (and will never be coming back online) or have been fresh installed without being demoted. To delete connections use the Sites and Services snapin and look for Sites->NAME_OF_SITE->Servers->NAME_OF_SERVER->NTDS Settings->CONNECTIONS. (3-c) Restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and make it non-authoritative. (3-d) Copy the data from step (3-a) above to the original location after the sysvol share is published. [4] For other Windows servers: (4-a) If any of the DFS alternates or other replica sets hosted by this server do not have any other replication partners then copy the data under its share or replica tree root to a safe location. (4-b) net stop ntfrs (4-c) rd /s /q c:\windows\ntfrs\jet (4-d) net start ntfrs (4-e) Copy the data from step (4-a) above to the original location after the service has initialized (5 minutes is a safe waiting time). Note: If this error message is in the eventlog of all the members of a particular replica set then perform steps (4-a) and (4-e) above on only one of the members. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Event ID: 13552 The File Replication Service is unable to add this computer to the following replica set: "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" This could be caused by a number of problems such as: -- an invalid root path, -- a missing directory, -- a missing disk volume, -- a file system on the volume that does not support NTFS 5.0 The information below may help to resolve the problem: Computer DNS name is "mcgcpdc.co.mchenry.il.us" Replica set member name is "MCGCPDC" Replica set root path is "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" Replica staging directory path is "c:\windows\sysvol\staging\domain" Replica working directory path is "c:\windows\ntfrs\jet" Windows error status code is FRS error status code is FrsErrorMismatchedJournalId Other event log messages may also help determine the problem.

    - logon script policies we use a combo of batch file and kixtart scripts for our logon process. I'd like to get the logon script process into a GPO as opposed to putting the batch file name in every user profile. First, I just want to confirm this is the best way to do it - I would think so as right now we have many users that don't have the logon script field properly set, most likely because the person who created the account didn't follow the proper steps! Second, Do I need to include all of the logon-script related files in the policy, or is it perfectly acceptable to just add the batch file that does the calling into the policy and include lines like the following in the batch file that calls files in the netlogon share : \\%logonserver%\netlogon\files\kix32.exe \\%logonserver%\netlogon \script.kix or... %0\..\files\kix32.exe %0\..\\netlogon\script.kix ...and speaking of which, are one of the methods better than the other for referring to files in the netlogon share from a logon script??

    - Query DHCP Lease Duration Information Hi, We want to query for the lease duration of a subnet scope on DHCP server remotely in our product. We don't have clue from where we can read this information in case DHCP server is present on windows 2003 platform. On windows 2000 server we read registry to find all the DHCP subnet information, but that information in not present in registry if DHCP server is on windows 2003 platform. Following things which we tried returned only half information. 1) DhcpGetSubnetInfo API returns only some information like subnet name, comment, and subnet mask. It doesn't give other information like IP range and Lease duration. 2) We tried using COM (DHCPObjs) object (present in Windows 2000 resource toolkit). But it doesn't give Lease duration. Is there any other way to find Lease Duration either through Registry, WMI, dhcp.mdb(DHCP database) or any other source? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ~Somesh Tag: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125572

    - There must be an easy answer to this one.. How would i export all avilable attributes (be they populated or not) for a user object? I can view them by scrolling through an accounts properties in ADSI Edit, but i'd like to have them in a single list i can view and make notations on. Even better would be a link that lists all the attributes along with an explanation for each one. ..But i'm not greedy, i'll settle for only the list at this point. Thanks in advance.

    - Error lsasvr 40690 Hi all, I have been having this error on one of our domain controler (cut and paste of the event at the end of the post). It's repeated every 1:30 to 2 hours and has been going on for 2 weeks. I have made an extensibe search both on microsoft website and google (web) and I couldn't find anything that apply to this error. I have also made a complete diagnostic of the server with dsdiag, netdiag, nltest and nothing comes out, all diagnostics indicate that the server is fonctionning correctly without any error. The IP configuration is correct, the account is not disabled or erase and at this point I can't figure out what is wrong or if I even need to be worriedÂ. One last thing, it as been a while since the server has been rebooted. I plan on doing it this afternoon and see if it makes a difference.

    - Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain 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?

    - 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: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve 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: Joined a server to domain using the same name as the Primary serve Tag: 125505

I accidentally joined an older server being set up as a file server to our
domain using the same name as the current(and only) server in our domain. Now
active directory and DNS is acting up. Just wondering if anyone has gone
through this issue before, and if so what steps need to be taken to remedy
the situation. Thanks
