    - ADAM We have our GAL that has user information added through AD for say addresses, phone numbers, etc., which changes frequently so I would like to assign a user the responsibility of keeping this updated. This user is not an administrator the person to do the updating is a domain user. Would using ADAM be the best way to allow the user to update the data in AD without giving the user domain administration priveleges? I am kind of confused on whether to install ADAM on one of our servers or on the users workstation. We run Server 2003 and the workstation is Windows XP Pro. Will using the ADAM allow the user to only be able to change certain user information fields without giving the user free reign on the AD? Where would my search start I have downloaded and went over Microsoft's step by step guide but I have a lot of questions and no one readily available to answer them. Thanks in advance for the help.

    - Unable to create basic domain trust between two Windows 2003 domains - logon servers not available ? Hi. I am currently trying to create a basic one way non-transitive trust between two Windows 2003 domains. We will be merging the domains of two companies in the future but for the time being need to give one domain access to resources in another. Both domains are standalone within their own forest i.e. domain1.net is the only domain in the domain1.net forest and domain2.net is the same. Both domain1 and domain2 have Windows Server 2003 domain and forest functional levels. So far I have created Stub zones on the DNS servers in each domain i.e. domain1.net has a stub zone for domain2.net and domain2.net has a stub zone for domain1.net. Both domains have a single domain controller called DC1 on each domain i.e. dc1.domain1.net and dc1.domain2.net. I can ping from one DC to the other and resolve names of workstations and servers in the remote domain. If I run a nslookup from each DC the output seems normal (DC1.domain1.net nslookup result below). When I try to create the one way non-transitive trust I get to the end of the wizard and select to 'Validate' the trust, I get the error : The secure channel (SC) reset on domain controller \\DC1.comain2.net of domain2.net to domain domain1.net failed with error: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. The accounts I have used in both domains are Domain and Enterprise Admins. Only dc1.domain2.net has an error in the System Log with ID 5719 and the same error as above i.e. logon servers not available to service the logon request. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong ? Thanks, Alex. DC1.domain1.net nslookup result: C:\>nslookup Default Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 > set type=srv > dc1.domain2.net Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 domain2.net primary name server = dc1.domain2.net responsible mail addr = hostmaster serial = 21 refresh = 900 (15 mins) retry = 600 (10 mins) expire = 86400 (1 day) default TTL = 3600 (1 hour) Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134603

    - Help: Vista network Browse issue on AD network I have several Vista workstations on a AD network along with 10's of workstations running XP and servers running various OS's. The AD network is connected to a separate much larger AD network (several hundred workstations and servers). When browsing network places (e.g.: when mapping to a network drive), the XP machines on the smaller AD network show two distinct networks, the local AD network and, larger AD network. Both networks can be 'explored' without significant delay. However, when performing a network browse on the Vista workstations, there is no distinction between the two AD networks. In addition, every time the browse button is hit, the entire list of AD servers and workstations on both networks is refreshed which can take in excess of 15 minutes before anything shows up, functionally making it impossible to 'browse' the network. This behavior appears to be limited to Vista workstations. Is there a way to make the Vista workstations respond more like the XP workstations in this regard? Thanks for any advice.

    - Integrate AzMan with SQL Database? I don't know if this is the right newsgroup for this, but.... We need to secure records in a table based on Active Directory permissions. Can someone point me to a good resource (with examples) of how to go about this? Here is some pseudo-code of what I'd like to be able to do: select * from mytable where UserIsAllowed("Brad") In this example, the "UserIsAllowed" function tests each record, presumably using AzMan, checking both the user and the groups the user belongs to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Brad. Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134594

    - Member Server in DMZ I have done some research and know this is generally a bad idea, but... how would one go about running a Member server joined to a domain (i.e. domain.local) but reside in the DMZ? I've looked at ADAM and using IPSec and such things. I'm basically looking for the best approach to this. There are some internet applications that my organization would like to authenticate to AD.

    - Folder Redirection Error with Documents folder Hello, We operate under Windows Server 2003 R2 with 15 Windows XPsp2 and 1 Vista laptop. All XP laptops are redirecting just fine with the GPO; however, the solo Vista machine (which is mine) is having problems with redirecting one folder. Pictures, Music, and Videos have redirected to the server (NOLDC1) fine. The Documents folder is the one that is having problems. I receive the below error in the event log. Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "\\noldc1\users$\kbullock". Redirection options=9021. The following error occurred: "Folder can not move because there is non redirectable folder at the same path". Error details: "Access is denied.". I've also noticed an exact duplicate of kbullock folder inside of my profile. I don't know what's going on here. Can anyone shed some light and help me out here? Thanks.

    - Authoritative Restore Question on the proper way to had this particular authoritative restore using the ntdsutil restore subtree. In the past with authoritative restores of an OU I haven't had any issues restoring an OU and all objects within. Recently I had a situation where an OU was deleted along with sub-OUs. One of the sub-OUs needed to be restored without restoring the other sub-OUs. I trying to do an authoritative restore twice without success as I would expect it. First attempt, I recreated the parent OU then performed the authoritative restore of the child OU. Second attempt, I deleted the parent OU and attempted to restore the child OU. In both cases immediate after the restore and reboot I could see the restored OUs and objects. But once replication occurred they disappeared. If I did a find on the user objects in the child OU I could find them through ADUC, but the OU could not be seen through expanding the OU structure. This is because in both cases the parent OU was still a deleted object in the deleted objects container (isDeleted=true). However the child OU was not deleted (isDeleted = NULL). How would I go about doing an authoritative restore of a child OU and a parent OU with out bring back all the other child OUs of that parent? Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134575

    - Change notification using AD Hi There, lI am using AZman with authorization store stored in xml file. And I was creating a file system watcher on this xml file and when an administrator modifies the store using Azman mmc, the event was raised and I would notify all the interested parties. But now I want my azman store to be in ADAM. Do we have any mechanism/apis to know when the azman store is modified? What is the best practice in these scenarios? i found this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms676877(VS.85).aspx which is in managed C++ , since most of the ldap apis are wrapped in System.directoryservices , i was thinking if it is possible to use .net libraries to achieve the above mentioned(getting the notification) behavior. Thanks for your time. Dee Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134572

    - redirecting My Documents and permissions hey I've playing around with Group Policy on my Windows Server 2003. For the purpose of learning. This is not a prodcution environment. The win2k3 machine is domain controller in my network Now I've created a Group Policy which redirect users My Documets over the a directory on the domain controller. On the domain controller I created a folder which I shared. Giving users read permissions. I wonder if only read permission is not enough. Maybe I should add write permissions to? But in the Group Policy I specified users having exclusive rights to these folders, so maybe that automatically gives it write permissons? any thoughts? Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134547

    - Using Active Directory (without any admin account) for checking if Hello, I'm programming in VS2003-ASP.NET 1.1. My web app is running on a Windows Server 2003. The user has to login into the web app using its account and password of the Active Directory (AD). I have this problem: How can I check if a domain account, that tries to login, has been disabled or password has expired? I use the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry class, but for security reasons we don't want to user any admin user account to get information of the account trying to login. Say that account "jdoe" has been disabled, or its password has expired in AD. If user tries to login, the web app should show some message about acount disabled or password expired. My code: Dim Domain As String = "DOMAINXXX" Dim sUserName="jdoe": Dim sPassword="jdoe_password" Dim myEntry As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & Domain, sUserName, sPassword, System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes.Secure) myEntry.Username = sUserName myEntry.Password = sPassword Dim mySearcher As System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher = New System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(myEntry) Dim myResult As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult mySearcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person) (objectClass=user)(userPrincipalName=" & UserName & "*))" myResult = mySearcher.FindOne Dim x as String = myResult.Properties("sAMAccountName")(0) ''<-- it gets 'jdoe' Dim y as String = myResult.Properties("userAccountControl")(0) ''<-- it gets Nothing If I'd get 514 or 512 from myResult.Properties("userAccountControl") (0), then it would be able to determine if account has expired or not. But it gets Nothing However, if myEntry.Username = "any_admin_account" then it works ! I had put this question on the ASP.NET zone, but I've been told that the reasons I get Nothing from myResult.Properties("userAccountControl")(0), could be because of settings on the domain or the AD. Sorry if I have put my question in the wrong area, but maybe you guys could help me with some advices. Many Thanks Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134508

    - Group Policy - Maximum Password Age OK, this is weird.... In Group Policy we have the Default Domain set to Disabled. However, even though it is set to Disabled it does have settings in it from when it use to be Enabled. One of the settings is that the Maximum Password Age is set to 90 Days. Ok, now in the Group Policy we have set and enabled on the OU for where my user's and computers reside we have the Maximum Password Age set to 45 Days. Now this is where it gets weird... even though everything I look at (GP Modeling, GP Results, etc) says that the Maximum Password Age is set to 45 Days, it appears that the passwords do not expire until they reach 90 Days? Any Ideas on this? Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134436

    - Create a site over WAN link I'm working on diagraming out a new AD site design for our single domain network. We have 3 physical locations. 1. Data center facility with all servers (file, app, web, AD and Exchange) 2. Main campus (about 1000 users), currently no servers 3. Satellite office (about 100 users), currently no servers WAN connection between Data Center and Main campus is 100Mbit. Should AD sites represent physical locations, or if there is a high speed highly available WAN link, can a site encompass more than one physical location. I'm looking for best practice design geared toward high availability in the event of connectivity disruption. Currently I have two sites defined. One for the Data Center and main campus and one for the satellite office. I've placed one ADDC at the Data center and one at the main campus. Both are GC's with AD integrated DNS. Exchange will be hosted at the data center. I also have a ADDC that is a GC with integrated DNS at the satellite office. This office will also have a high bandwidth highly available WAN link, but not as fast as the one between the DC and the main campus. Any suggestions on this approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134435

    - Query Based Distribution Group We are looking at implementing QDQ in our environment. We have about 13,000 users. We first one we want to create is for everyone that has an Exchange mailbox. I have done some research to find out what the requirements and recommendations are and found out that our DCs will be able to handle the load. They have enough processing and memory capacity. What I am curious about that I have not been able to find, but think I remember from something is the results size of each QDG. Is there a recommended limit on the number of results that a single QDG should return. For our example of creating a goup to list everyone with a mailbox, we initially thought we would create a univeral group and nest the QDG in that. We would create one QDG for each mailbox server. Each Mailbox server has about 3000 mailboxes. I do not know if that is too large for one QDG. Should we break each server down to the database level where it would only return ~200 results and nest those into a server based group? Any advice, hints, articles and knowledge would be wonderful. Thank you. Pete Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134377

    - What backups for DC and DNS etc? Hi, I'm in the process of reviewing our backup procedures for our Active Directory and DNS (and DHCP). (My setup is as follows): Domain A - root forest - 4 domain controllers over 3 sites. (2 at the main and these hold most roles). The main server in each site is a GC, DHCP and DNS. I was thinking i would back up the system state of one main DC in each site? IS this enough or should i backup ALL? Is System State enough to be backing up? Does this include everything? If a DC goes down we do not mind so long as we have others - i am confortble with seizing roles and demoting and promoting and tidying up AD etc. However i want to protect against worse case scenario. It is important for AD to be backed up, DHCP and DNS. I believe we use some corperate Symantec product so imagine it able to do most things so long as i know what to back up.... Thanks.

    - Forest functional upgrade not possible Iâ??m having trouble upgrading the forest functional level in a test environment, and am wondering if any light can be on the issue. (Sorry, for the length of this initial post, but I thought it best to include as much as possible). When attempting to raise the forest functionality to Windows 2003 (logged in to holder of all root FSMOs with Enterprise admin account) I receive the followign error; â??The forest functional level could not be be raised. This may be due to replication latency. Please wait about 30 minutes and try again.â?? I first got this error two weeks ago, so replication latency can be ruled out (replication health checked numerous times during this period). More specifically if I raise the NTDS service logging level to 5 for 9 (Internal Processing), 8 (Directory access) and 16 (LDAP interface events) I get three events logged when I try to raise forest functional level; 1535, 1175 and 1481. The detail of these events are; Source: NTDS General Category: Internal Processing Event ID: 1481 Description: Internal error: The operation on the object failed. Additional data: Error value: 5 00002179: SvcErr: DSID-030F12D4, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 Source: NTDS General Category: Directory Access Event ID: 1175 Description: Internal event: A privileged operation (rights required = 0x) on object CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,<FOREST ROOT> failed because a non-security related error occurred. Source: NTDS LDAP Catoegry: LDAP Interface Event ID: 1535 Internal event: The LDAP server returned an error 00002179: SvcErr: DSID, 030F12D4, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 Error 2179 is ERROR_DS_NO_BEHAVIOR_VERSION_IN_MIXEDDOMAIN, which indicates that one or more domains are still in mixed mode. However this is not the case. The test domain has a placeholder root domain (single DC) and a production domain (three DCs), both of which are at Windows 2003 level, and this value (domainFunctionality=2) is consistent across all DCs). This test environment Iâ??ve been asked to use, has unfortunately not been maintained properly. When I got to it I found that it even had a â??deadâ?? domain referenced (another one below the placeholder root). I tidied this up using NTDSUTIL, including removign the domain and the domainDNSzones partition, and can no longer find any reference to it in the configuration container, or as a trust in other domains, but I canâ??t help feeling that some residue of this domain is causing the issue. The following steps have been taken as troubleshooting steps; â?¢ Replication confirmed as healthy. (repadmin /replsum) â?¢ Domain controllers confirmed as healthy (dcdiag /c/v/d, /test:verifyenterprisereferences) â?¢ Netdiag /v on all DCs â?¢ Only expected partitions in cn=partitions,cn=configuration,<FOREST ROOT> â?¢ No references to failed domain in Configuration partition (dumped using ldif and scanned) â?¢ All DCs are now at sp2 (were at sp1 before) â?¢ 2 * DomainDNSZones deleted and recreated â?¢ No obsolete computer objects in Sites and Services â?¢ No obsolete _msdcs references, or reference to â??deadâ?? domain â?¢ Schema and Enterprise admins are universal groups â?¢ Forest prep logs (for 2K3 update) are still available and donâ??t report any error â?¢ No unexpected computers think theyâ??re DCs (userAccountControl 8192) â?¢ Lost and found objects deleted â?¢ CNF objects deleted â?¢ Lingering objects cleared down (there were a lot of these on the root DC in the child partition) â?¢ FSMO roles are reporting correctly (netdom query fsmo) when checked from each DC. These are as per appropriate fsmoRoleOwner attributes. â?¢ Enterprise Admins and Enterprise Domain Controllers seem to have appropriate rights (compared with other environments) to the partitions (at root of partitions, and in CN=Partitions container), and the Partitions container in Configuration partition. â?¢ Thirteen attributes are added to the global catalog as part of the forest functional update. To rule this out I manually added the attributes to the PAS with the Schema GUI. â?¢ ntmixedDomain value on all DCs=0. â?¢ No obsolete security descriptors on CN=Partitions or itâ??s content partitions â?¢ INITSYNC has been set to be skipped (Repl Perform Initial Synchronizations = 0) â?¢ â??Everyoneâ?? has Access this computer from the network right â?¢ userAccountcontrol for all DCs is 532480 Two other errors have also been received, but havenâ??t helped me so far. Whenever a DC is rebooted the following error is received; Source: NTDS Category: Internal Processing Event ID: 1481 Description: Internal error: The operation on object failed.

    - Minimum security settings of computer accounts for allowing domain user account to join domain Hi ALL, I'd like to configure the security settings for the computer accounts that only allow domain user to join domain (nothing else, including changing computer account name,etc.). I tried to create a dummy computer account using (Active Directory Users and Computers -> New Computer Wizard) and specified a domain user account in the "The following user or group can join this computer to a domain". The domain account can join domain but also can modify the computer name (Simply change the computer name in the Windows client, the computer account will be modified after reboot). Do anyone know what is the minimum security settings of the computer account object so that the domain account can only have join domain privilege, no others, especially change the computer account name?

Here is an excerpt: 'Create home folder Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("\\terra\home\2010\" & strSAMAccountName) 'Set permissions Set oShell = wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") oShell.Run "%COMSPEC% /c Echo Y| cacls \\terra\home\2010\"& strSAMAccountName & " /t /e /g Administrators:F "& strSAMAccountName & ":C /R Students", 2, True 'Set home directory and home drive objNewUser.Put "homeDirectory", "\\terra\home\2010\" & strSAMAccountName objNewUser.SetInfo objNewUser.Put "homeDrive", "H" objNewUser.SetInfo At the end of the script, everything looks good. Permissions are set properly. However, on first logon, the folder does not map in the login script. When the user tries to get to their home folder manually, xp throws a message about access to the resource being disallowed. I can fix it by going into AD Users and Computers, setting the home folder to local, applying it and then setting the home folder back to where it is supposed to be. (I'd rather not do this for the 100 plus students and users that we get at the beginning of each year. Thanks for your ideas. Steve Ediger Any ideas? Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134311

    - Useracc dissapeared resulted in a disconneted mailbox Hi all Environment: Windows 2003 SP2 AD (No SBS2003), Exchange 2003 SP2, Win XP Clients w SP2 Problem: An AD useraccount dissapeared, no information about HOW, resulted in a lost account and a disconnected mailbox. Solution: Recover the exchange db to e RSG and recover the mailbox, accociated It to a new created user and reconnected it. Q: (I need to now what may have resulted in a deleted account when no admin with rights and knowledges has been logged on to the one Exchange server with Exchange tools, and not ot a server with ADUC tool.) 1.) Has anyone any knowledge of bugs, issues, faulty third party apps that might cause this scenario of the deleted usser account? 2.) Most important, How can I, afterwards, search how this might have happened with the deleted/removed user account (where, how, what tools etc.)? I need to find out if the account was deleted by a user and If so, who. Secondly, If not a user, what and why. Pls, any help would be highly appreciated. In this thread, suggestions of improvements are not wanted at the moment (I know that my enviroment Is poorly set up and not properly configured, will create other threads for that).

    - 2003 Server Internet DNS configuration I have 26 web sites hosted on my own web server that are public to the internet. I have 2 servers, NS1 and NS2. NS2 runs Apache web server. I would like to know if it is necessary for the domain DNS (ns2.company.net) entry to be Active Directory-Integrated. All the rest are simply primary and secondary.

    - Folder redirection - client's profiles on multiple pcs We're looking at implementing folder redirection in an already well-established client estate. The implementation guidelines are always drawn up with the assumption of a greenfield site, or a relatively uncomplicated one-machine-per-user setup. The issue we have is where the same user might log on to several machines, and may have files scattered across these. Certainly we may have the case where exchange has invited the user to autoarchive their email onto the local hard disk, and so they will have two or more machines where a user has an "archive.pst" sitting. How does folder redirection work for a user, where their folder has already been redirected from one machine? Does it look for and use the redirected folder if it exists, regardless of the local profiles? Can they get to any files on the local machine? Thanks for your help!

    - DNS change changes back by itself I changed a DNS entry on a test domain, and when I ping the machine name from that server, I get the proper (new) ip address back. When I ping it from anywhere else, I get the old value (the one I changed it from) back. It never seem to replicate properly, so I never get the new value when I ping it from anywhere except the DNS server on which I made the change. After a while, it changes back to the old entry on the DNS server where I made the change. Tag: LDAP user permission Tag: 134258

I used the LDAP Browser (first link on google) and it didn't allowed me to
search, only gave me the domain name. I ser permission for a specific user
on domain, using Active Directory Users and Computers and it can now search
on LDAP tree.

Thankyou.
