    - Security Groups & Domain Trusts Hello, I have two Windows 2003 domains that trust each other. I want to include members (groups/users/etc) from domain A in security groups of domain B. So for example the group DomainB\Managers will have members: DomainB\manager1, DomainB\manager2 and also DomainA\manager1. However when trying to edit the group members using AD Users & Computer console, I am only given the option to add user/groups from the same domain. is this by design? am i doing something wrong? Is there a way to "bypass" this problem? thanks christos Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133669

    - Password policy customization Hello, We are to implement a password policy that has several items that are not available via the ADUC --> Windows Settings --> Security Settings --> Account Policies --> Password Policies. We are thinking of: 1. Password must begin with a letter. 2. It must have at least 1 number. 3. Special characters are not allowed and 4. Must not contain consecutively repeating characters like aa or 11 etc. Is there a way to customize this or does anyone know of a 3rd party software that can help us out with this. Thanks for view my post, any help or comment will be appreciated. Jayman. Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133656

    - Place holder root domain advantage I've been struggling with a domain design to choose. I've always read that it is best practice design to create an empty place holder root domain to hold the enterprise admin group and to hold the forest schema operations role. Then have another domain to hold all users/groups/computers. The alternative being one domain, that holds all of the above. There is obviously additional hardware costs associated with the empty place holder domain, but there isn't going to be much administrative overhead since the domain is going to me basically unused. What are the underlying reasons why the place holder root domain is setup and should this domain design be favored in a large enterprise organization vs the single domain model? Thank you.

    - Problem running a script I got a script to set the userAccountControl of all users in an OU to 512. This is the script I am using: ' UserAccountControl .vbs ' Sample VBScript to enable a user account ' Author Guy Thomas http://computerperformance.co.uk/ ' Version 2.0 - May 2005 ' --------------------------------------------------------------' Option Explicit Dim objOU, objUser, objRootDSE Dim strContainer, strLastUser, strDNSDomain, intAccValue ' Bind to Active Directory Domain Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE") strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext") ' Here is where we set the value to enable the account ' 512 = Enable, 514 = Disable. intAccValue = 512 ' -------------------------------------------------------------' ' Important change OU= to reflect your domain ' -------------------------------------------------------------' strContainer = "OU=Users " strContainer = strContainer & strDNSDomain set objOU =GetObject("LDAP://" & strContainer ) For each objUser in objOU If objUser.class="user" then ' The heart of this script - Enable users objUser.Put "userAccountControl", intAccValue objUser.SetInfo End if next ' End of Free Sample UserAccountControl VBScript The problem is when I run it I get a script error "The server is unwilling to process the request." Code 80072035. After doing some research it is pointing to domain policy that is restricting this from running. I have 2000+ users that were imported that have the UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD flag set. I need to do a bulk modify to set all these users to 512. My question is, how do I determine which part of domain policy is stopping this from running so that I can disable it. Or can this be done another way? Thanks Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133624

    - Server keeps rebooting Dear all, After I added my new windows 2008 domain controller to a windows 2000 domain, it keeps rebooting. I do get my log on screen, I can type in my credentials but when I hit Enter I am not able to log on (no error message) and after a while (30 seconds orso) the server reboots. I can start in save mode and if I look in the event viewer these two messages appear: Faulting application lsass.exe, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47918d7c, faulting module ntdsai.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791a7a8, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0004a191, process id 0x20c, application start time 0x01c8f7037b186ecf.

    - changing an expired password We are running a 2000 sp 4 domain. Most machines have been promoted to 2003Server I still have 2 to promote then I will promote the domain. When users change their password (when it expires), users claim that they change the password, hit enter, and when they try to log back on, the new password does not work.

    - Connecting Three Domains/Forests Hi. I am trying to determine the best way to connect three domains so that they can share resources and centralise user logons. Ideally once the domains are connected, it would be preferred if users could logon with one user account into a new parent domain/forest and gain access to their old domain resources as well as newly connected domains all using their new user account. The three existing domains are single domains in their own forest, they are all 2003 native domains/forests, Exchange is not used in any of the domains. Networking has been put in place between the three seperate networks such that they are all now connected. What I was hoping to do was to create a new fourth domain/forest and connect the existing three domains using trusts. User accounts and groups would then be created in the new fourth parent domain/forest and user groups would be modified/created in the old domains to give access to the new accounts. The long term plan is to slowly migrate all the resources from the three seperate domains into the new fourth parent domain/forest and eventually retire the old domains. Can anyone recommend if this is the best way to approach this problem ? Do you also have any advice on the types of trusts I would need to create to accomplish this ? Thanks, Alex.

    - GPO: Scheduled task to defrag servers Hello, I am using this small script to automatically created scheduled tasks via Group Policy on each one of our servers: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim fso, d, dc, i, Command i=0 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set dc = fso.Drives For Each d in dc i=i+1 If d.DriveType = 2 Then Return = WshShell.Run("echo ""N""|schtasks.exe /create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN Defrag" &i& " /TR ""defrag.exe "&d &" -f"" /ST 15:50:00 /SD 04/08/2008 /RU SYSTEM", 1, TRUE) End If Next Set WshShell = Nothing The echo ""N"" is necessary because on the second restart, Windows asks to overwrite the scheduled task. If I omit this, the GPO works fine the first time, but the after the second reboot, it prompts to overwrite the task, so I manually have to confirm..... When I run the script now with the echo ""N""|, I get an error "The system cannot find the file specified". My question is now, what's wrong with the "Wshshell.run"-command or is there any possibility like a "/N" to confirm that I do not want to overwrite the scheduled task....

    - VB6 not vbscript Hi, Does anyone have a VB6 sample instead of vbscript as the necessary explicit variable declaration in VB6 is causing me problems. I can list all groups but when i click on the group to pass the groupname to show all members some of the objects complain. I have look at earlier posts and answers and tried the code converted to vb6 with some success e.g. http://www.rlmueller.net/Document%20Domain%20Groups.htm but the passing of variant implicit objects to function within vbscript just works but not in vb6 e.g. Sub GetMembers(ByVal objADObject) ' Subroutine to document group membership. ' Members can be users or groups. Dim objMember, strType For Each objMember In objADObject.Members If (UCase(Left(objMember.objectCategory, 8)) = "CN=GROUP") Then strType = "Group" Else strType = "User" End If Wscript.Echo " Member: " & objMember.sAMAccountName _ & " (" & strType & ")" Next Set objMember = Nothing End Sub called from Set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN) Wscript.Echo objGroup.sAMAccountName _ & " (" & GetType(objGroup.groupType) & ")" Call GetMembers(objGroup) so what is objGroup defined as??? I've tried IADSGroup and also other sample scripts that refer to the NT account name via IADSUser but i just can't get it to work? Any ideas? Thanks Martin Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133575

    - Frequent Account Lockouts after changing account expiration We recently changed the account expiration date from 120 to 90 days. Since then, user who's accounts have expired, sometimes get the message that their account has expired when they boot their computer and they need to reset their password but often they do not. To make matters worse, there are quite a few people who are having issues with accounts continuously being locked out after this change. One of them is on our IT staff. We have a distributed environment with a mix of DC's that are 2k and 2k3 with some R2 mixed in there. Any ideas what the problem could be? I'm checking the event logs at these sites to see if they shed any light on the problem. I'll also run a dcdiag to make sure everything is healthy and I will let you know if there is anything unusual. Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133567

    - AD, Kerboros and Domain Controller replication problems Hi Everyone. I am not a Windows person, so please be gentle! We experienced a problem on Friday when we had a powercut in the middle of setting up our VPN using Routing and Remote Access. Now it seems none of the clients can see the Domain anymore, also, you cant ping the server name, but you can its IP, and there is an error (Event IDs are below) relating to a Kerboros and AD replication error. There were several other errors as well but I think between me, google, and the associated Event ID I have managed to sort those. The server is still showing iteself as the Domain Controller, and i am unwilling to demote it and then promote it becuase I do not know how to do it safely. Event IDs on the server: 1925 Error 1307 Error 3018 (Exchange) Error 5782 (DNS) Warning 40960 Warning 1016 Warning Event IDs on the clients: 15 Error 1054 Error 1053 Error DNS seems to be working, i base this on the service is still running, there are no events in its log, and i can ping the server name from the server, just not from any of the clients. Email is still coming in and going out, but we cant connect via Outlook clients, only via the webclient and our blackberrys. I think this is becuase Outlook likes to fully qualify what its connecting to, and seeing as the IP Address cannot be resolved to the server name it will not work. Obviously I rolled back all the changes we had made with Remote Access but still Domain, AD and Authenitcation problems persist. I hope I have provided more than enough information, but obviously if there is anything else anyone can think of dont hesitate to ask! The server is running SP2 for the OS and SP1 (I think) for Exchange. We have one server, running Server 2003 and Exchange 2003, this is our Domain Server and Email server. There are no other servers, we know this is not ideal, but we are only a small company of 4 users. I really hope someone can help us out :) Martin. Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133566

    - Domain users password change problem. Hi, I'm having an issue with the forced password change for domain users of the AD domain. Everytime the users are forced to renew the password of their domain accounts, when they log on, the MSOffice Outlook, loose the email account passwords, so the users need to retype it. Beside this, the users digital signatures are no longer recognized by the WinXP Pro, so I need to reissue it from the signature provider and reinstall it in the workstation. Only thing I found with this kind of behavior is an article of WinNT4. They claim that issue is solved in later version (Win 2000 server and later) and it was related to AD credentials, but someway I'm suffering it in my Win Server 2003 Active Directory + Win XP Pro workstations. Thanks in advance. Kind regards. Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133545

    - Schema extension delay Hi, I have an LDF which extends the schema by creating a couple of attributes, and adding them to the 'user' class object. Immediately after that, I run another LDF which tries to add a user with the new attributes, but I get the following error: Add error on line 1: Object Class Violation The server side error is: 0x207d An attempt was made to modify an object to include an attribute that is not legal for its class. However, if I run the second script after a minute or so, the script runs successfully (the user is added with the new attributes), as if there is some delay in the update of the schema.

    - Cross forest migration advice My company is looking to seperate one of our divisions off to a completely new independent company. We have a parent/child domain with the parent being a place holder domain and the child being the user domain for all dvisions of the company. user.adroot.com. In our DNS structure we have a zone for the division that is seperating "division1.com". Division1 will be creating their own forest/domain structure and were looking to create a similar parent/child domain structure, users.division1.com. We would then create a cross-forest trust and migrate users, Exchange mailboxes and security groups. A few questions: With the original company, adroot.com having "division1.com" in their DNS heirarchy and with the new company wanting to name their adroot "division1.com" would there be a problem once the trust was formed and the migration was attempted? I would think that resolving the name "division1.com" between forests would not work because they both have differnet DNS entries for that name. Please advise. Also, we will be building new file servers for Division1 and moving over the directory structure from former company and want to make sure that once users for Divison1 are moved to their new domain, that they still have all the same file permissions that they had before and we won't need to reset those. I was looking for the best way to accomplish this. I know I can migrate the SID history during the AD migration, but what do I do about the directory/file permissions on the new file servers. The permissions would all read users.adroot.com\groupname and that would not match with the new domain name. Any suggestions? Thank you. If anyone has had experience on a migration similar to this in the past, I would love to hear how things went, pitfalls that were experienced, lessons learned, etc... users.adroot.com is a Windows 2003 AD running in windows 2000 native mode. users.division1.com is likely to be a Windows 2008 AD running in mixed mode.

    - can't access logon script using UNC path I have a logon script defined in a group policy. It runs fine when I log on to computers in the domain however, if I try to open the script or run it from explorer by using GPO Mgmt snap-in to open the folder it is in, I'm told that I either don't have the rights to access it or run it. Why would it run just fine as my account during the logon sequence but yet I can't even open the file (let alone run it) by opening the folder it is in using Windows Explorer after I've logged in? No errors were logged pertaining to trying to access the script file. This is insane. thanks Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133506

    - Domain security I have been asked to find a way to secure our data using the current AD structure. Currently our department OU is in a single forest, single domain AD. We have blocked inheratance from the domain for all policies and have our own policies for our users and computers. I know that a domain or enterprise admin can add them selves to the administrators group and access any of our data, but given the current circumstances, we must have it set up this way. This requires me to look at the policy dates daily to make sure nothing has been changed and to look at random system log files from various systems to ensure no one has been looking at priviledged information. Is there any way we can block the domain and enterprise admins out or prevent them from making changes allowing themselves in? The use of certificates has been discussed, but I dont think they will work, since the domain admins will have access to them. Our department staff is ready to pull away from the current domain and create a new root domain with multiple sub-domains with another department that also requires data isolation. Higher management is requiring us to meet with the domain admins to discuss alternate ways to secure the data, and I need to know what other ways are available before the meeting. Thanks, Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133505

    - New Win2003 DC DNS into Win2000 AD with DNS Hi all, I really hope someone can offer guidance since this is turning out to be one horrible "ground hog" experience. Our task: Completely moving from Windows 2000 AD to Windows 2003 AD What's already done: We've done the pre-introduction of a Windows 2003 AD controller (Adprep, etc.) The issue in detail: - Install windows 2003 server - this is an original cd (not even sp1). - Install sp2 - join domain - install AD At this point everything is fine, or seems so. Then here's where the problem starts: - install DNS, maybe we're doing it wrong here so advice on the proper options may help. - our selections are, primary and secondary, not to create any new zones, no forwarding - even this seems to go without a hitch since looking at DNS management shows the AD DNS is already replicated.... However, after this successful DNS installation, if we reboot (for whatever reason): - the reboot process "stalls" a bit at "Preparing Network Connections" - then the dreaded "At least one driver....failed" - the reboot takes a long time but, you'll finally get to the login screen - after logging in, and this is where it's driving us nuts, you find that the NETWORK CONNECTIONS container is empty! - you essentially can't see any of "MY CONNECTIONS" - If you do a hardware check, the adapters are fine - but you have absolutely no network connectivity - obviously at this point, the EVENT LOG is stacked with errors... Hope someone has some thoughts...I've gone cross-eyed with this....and yes, the AD cleanup is a chore (manually removing the failed controller from AD...at least that seems to be going smoothly). Thanks in advance! -- Cheers, Ed Chavez A bona fide Microsoft drone Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133485

    - SCESRV error with GP Hi, Recently, we've received a small bunch of errors with the following message: Event Type: Error Event Source: SceSrv Event Category: None Event ID: 1003 Date: 7/30/2008 Time: 11:20:49 AM User: N/A Computer: ANYWHERE Description: Notification of policy change from LSA/SAM has been retried and failed.

Now the scepol.log has nothing on it [in fact, nothing since 2005!]. Did a search on the support sight for SCESRV and the even log and nothing applies. Ideas?

    - Parent Domain Service account admin rights on Child Domain Compute I'm running in a Single Forest scenerio with a Parent domain and Child domain. I have an application that needs to have administrator rights on both the parent domain computers and child domain computers (using the same account). Because of existing custom local admin rights on several different OUs/Computers in the child domain I can't force an update to all computers using a GPO without potentially damaging those existing permissions. What are my options? Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133469

    - Password Never Expires, user still gets prompted to change passwor Hi All, We have a user whose password was supposed to expire after 90 days, but we needed to postpone that for a few more weeks. We selected the option "Password Never Expires" on the Account tab for the user's Active Directory account. The problem is that after doing that, the person was still getting the pop-up box upon login, or upon unlocking his workstation, telling him that his password is about to expire. AND he even got the popup after the password was supposed to originally expire, saying something like "your password expires in 0 days". He has been able to login all of those times by clicking on NO (ie. don't change my password now). I can't find anything on the Internet explaining how to make this popup go away. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133463

    - Object modification in Active Directory Hello, I was checking on the Security logs for my domain but was suprised to see "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" for Event ID 642. User password was reset and i would like to know who did that. Instead of getting to know the user that perform the change, the Event ID shows the users as "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" I've tested out that when i reset a user password from a member server of the domain, it'll show as ""NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" instead of the user name. Is there any way, i can get this to work correctly? To display the user name instead of ANONYMOUS LOGON for Event 642. Thanks. Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133445

    - Swap Primary DC? Hello, First of all, sorry if this is the wrong group to post, but it was the most tentative for my according the name. I have a win2008 acting as a primary domain controller, currently, it is the only DC in our domain. I have to trash that machine and build a new DC, the current one will be totally taken out of the lan, so i have to get working a new primary domain controller, what are the best practices to do that? I was thinking in add the new (future DC) as a secondary domain controller, so it get synched with the primary and get all the AD data, but after that, how do i tell the AD that i want the secondary to become the primary and totally remove the current one? Thanks for the help. BTW, both machines will be running windows 2008 and the AD is running in 2003 native mode., there are currently some exchange and other servers joined to the domain as well...

    - Authentication across trusts I hope someone can shed some light on this. We are migrating users from our "ad.company.com" domain to a brand new domain called "company.com". We seem to be having some trouble accessing shares across the domain. When users in "ad.company.com" try to access resources in "company.com" (even though they have been given rights to the share) they are prompted to authenticate. Interestingly when we access the share with just the hostname we are connected but if we try to use FQDN it prompts. One of my peers thinks that we may have a problem since the domain we are adding is actually above the existing domain in the DNS hierarchy. We tried sniffing the connection and the Kerberos packets seem to all be targeted at the "ad.company.com" domain and never ask the "company.com" DCs to authenticate the users to the resource. Any ideas on why we may be having this problem? Tag: LDAP Search Query Syntax Tag: 133433

Hi All,

Hoping someone might be able to help. I want to use ADModify.NET to change
some users home directory's. However, I'm getting stuck with the search
filter.

I'd like to find all users where their samaccount name starts with "a" and
matches a specific server eg server1

The first part of the query, to find samaccount names starting with a is
fine but it's the homedirectory part I'm stuck on. I would like to find all
users homedirectory where it starts with the path: \\server1

Please take a look at it below:

(&(sAMAccountName=a*)(homeDirectory=\\server1*))

I've added quotes, extra backslahes but it still doesn't seem to work, can
anyone help please?

Thanks!!
