    - rights not percolating For some reason rights I am assigning to users in active directory are not being passed. I assigned administrator rights to one user so he could make some changes to his PC and his level did not change on the local machine. Same problem with other users, they are only retaining the rights asigned when the login was created. We are running a single server (2003) with about 10 users on its own isolated domain, I am not an AD expert so any tips or troubleshooters would be apreciated!

    - AccessCheck function fails in multi domain environment I am trying to use authorization function "accesscheck" for a user to access the resource which is in the other domain, But accesscheck function denies the access. Example Suppose there are 2 domains with trust. share object is on Domain 1 and need to access this object from Domain 2. When the user from any Domain having access rights to share oject login to Domain2 then he gets the access token from domain2. We use function AccessCheck(which check access) functions which denies the access and in my knowledge it does not work across domain. Which function should I use to fix this problem.

    - How to Configure localgroup into Group Policy Hi there: I know that you can use restricted groups in group policy to assign domain groups to be members of the localgroup on computers in the domain. When the restricted group dialogue boxes prompt me I can't figure out how to include "localgroup" in there. It appears that it only allows me to select groups from the domain only. Any help would be great! I would settle for using the "c> net localgroup administrators "dom\vir users" /add" command but it doesn't like groups that have a space in the name eventhough I have quotes around it. Please help. Thanks, Charles Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130881

    - Help with secondary email address setup in W2K AD and Exchange 200 We have someone who just got married and changed her last name. So we are trying to add her new email address as the primary email address in Windows 2000 AD link with Exchange 2003. We used to just able to add the new email and set it as the primary and that's it. And when we go into Outlook and type in newname@domain.com it will automatically find it in address book and convert it to "first name, last name" as it's being sent as an internal email. However, now it's not doing it? A X.400 setting is now created for the secondary address so I went in and manually added it. The email will work if I find her new name in the address book and pick it from list but if I type in user@domain.com, it won't work where I will get a 5.1.1 error message. We noticed weird problem started happening after we moved the Exchange server from the "computer" OU to a new OU we created and since then moved it back to the "computer" OU.. any help? Thanks!

    - IPSec GPO -- Cannot Save Sorry, had trouble finding a GPO group. I'm interested in applying an IPsec policy via GPO, but have found that I cannot save any changes. I had assumed the new policy options in Vista/2008 would allow multiple Active Directory IPsec policies, unlike the 2003/XP policy options, and allow to save them as any other GPO. I was wondering if the saving issues I'm having (if so) are permissions related, as I am not a domain admin (only OU administrator), and if so, is there any way to add specific targetted permissions to my account which would allow saving of the IPSec GPO to my OU. Thanks all. Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130877

    - Getting the DN ( distingished name) using Taskpad parameters I am trying to get the DN of a user account via a ADUC and an attached taskpad. Though able to reconstruct the DN from the $NAME<0> $NAME<1> etc parameters - the DN required for DSGET does not like commas hence any commas have to have a "\" infront. My question - is there an easier way of getting the full DN of a user account using a taskpad ? a second question - are there any other variables apart from $COL and $NAME ? many thanks Martin Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130876

    - Disabled Office XP "Recently used list" via Group Policy. How do I go about disabling office XP "Recently used list" via GP? This is what I have done but it's not working? So far, I have downloaded the Office XP ADM, Word.ADM, Excel.ADM, PPT.ADM, and Access.ADM. On AD, I created a "Users" OU and a new GP labeled "Disable Office Feature" in that OU. For the "Disabled Office Feature" GP, I added the "Word.ADM" and in the "Recently used list" I have it setup to be "disabled." I then moved my own account to that new "Users" OU and did a gpupdate/force on my system, which promoted me to reboot. After reboot, I did a gpresult and see that the new GP was applied on my system. However, when I go into MS Word, I'm still seeing the "recently used list." Am I doing something wrong? Please help! Thank you in advance for your help!

    - Automatically Adding Domain Groups into Local Administrators group By default when a computer is added to a domain the domain admin group is added to the local computers administrators group.

    - Group Policy and Domain Type Problem Hi everybody, We're having a problem on our Active Directory, we can not edit GPOs which have been defined previously including Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy as well. When we try to edit it, it says; "Failed to open the group policy object. You may not have appropriate rights." Detail: "The system can not find the path specified." Then, we try to change the security settings of related GPO , we remove some and add another, finally when we try to Apply or click Ok, then it says; "Unable to save permission changes on {....-.....-......-......}" "The system can not find the file specified." We can create new GPOs and edit them successfully, there is nothing wrong with the new created ones. We're using administrator account to try all of them above.. Thanks in advance..

    - Server share login I have added a W2003R2 domain controller to our network. A new share has been created on the server. When I attempt to browse to the share, clicking on the server asks for my user name and password (which will work OK). Any of the other shares on the network do not require entering username/password. So apparently, when you browse to a share it normally automatically authenticates but for some reason it doesnt on this server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I am missing here? -- Regards Thomas Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130811

    - Changing IP Subnet? I've had problems over the past 6 years that were caused by the original "consultants" who set up the primary subnet to be 192.168.1.nnn. An obvious problem is connecting to a users personal computer (on a router) to our network using a VPN. We have to get the user's router reconfigured to a different subnet since most default to the same one. I'm curious as to what it would take to change our internal IP subnet. to something different. Any thoughts as to what would be impacted would be appreciated. I'm not likely to do it, but it might help explain why we don't do it.... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130743

    - Moving a DC I have three functioning DCs in our domain. We have 2 locations (Hyde Park & Kingston). Each has its own subnet (HP = 192.168.1.nnn & Kingston = 192.168.100.nnn). The sites are connected via a point to point T1. Each site has a router. The DC I want to move (HOSPICEDC3)currently has an IP address of 192.168.1.113. I want to move it to the KGN subnet, changing the IP to 192.168.100.113. I have a site defined as "Kingston" on the domain (currently W2K) waiting for a DC. Everything is currently in the default (HP) site. I'm interested in a step by step procedure for moving this server. A link would be great. I have a pretty good idea what to do, but I'm anal about understanding what needs to be done before I take step one. Also, what (if anything) do I need to do to make HOSPICEDC3 the preferred DC for users in Kingston?

    - Best practice for disabling accounts after user left? (But returning) Hi, What is the best practice for: When a user works at the company for 1 year or more. They then leave for a year. (Possible reasons include maternity leave, uni study for one year, etc etc). They will then return as full time staff again. What is best practice to do with their accounts? Set to disabled for the year? Leave share permissions. Set to disabled for a few months then delete account and all share permissions. Delete account straight away. How does this work with the mailbox? Does setting the account to disabled stop them from receving all the e-mails? (Exchange 2003 here). Obviously a year's worth of e-mails would be quite a lot and would not be needed. Do you therefore stop this somehow?

    - How to upgrade windows 2000 domain controller to windows 2008? We are running a simple domain controller on windows 2000 and have a second server that is windows 2000 (backup domain controller) that also runs our exchange server (very old version, 5.5). For us, this is a "once in five year" upgrade. We only do it because all of this technology is becoming end of life. I have been instructed to upgrade our domain controllers to windows 2008 and install the latest exchange server and upgrade that. So first things first, what I want to know is, what is the best path for this? We have about 100 exchange users (so 100 users in active directory). Do I: 1. upgrade the domain controllers to windows 2008, have the exchange server (running 5.5 and windows 2000) use this upgraded domain OR 2. install a fresh domain and fresh exchange server and manually add all the users OR 3. is there a middle ground somewhere here? my concerns: If I upgrade to a 2008 domain and I make a mistake and can not attach the windows2000/exchange5.5 server to the new domain, then I am in big trouble because our mail servers will then be dead. has the domain controller technology evolved that this can be an issue or will the windows2000 server work just fine if i upgrade the domain? What are the steps, i have googled for detailed instructions and can not find any. Does someone have detailed instructions on how I will do this? what happens to the servers that are pointing to the Windows 2000 DC, do they just continue to run and point to the new DC or do they need to be rebooted or reconfigured? We still have a lot of windows 2000 servers that are destined to be upgraded as well. Thanks Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130731

    - Migrate ADAM instance to new domain and don't lose info I have an issue that seems a little tricky. We are having to migrate our severs to a new domain- and for this we are using NetIQ DMA tool with works great, However we also use Passlogix SSO application which stores users credentials in an ADAM instance. We are trying to make this migration appear invisible to the desktop user, and for this happen, the old adam instance would have to have all its DACLS update to allow access for the user id in the new domain (user id's are not changing only domain membership) and we think we need to get update the ADAM schema of that instance to remove the old domain and insert the new one. Is this even realisticaly possible? or just wishfull thinking?

    - machine authentications vs user authentication - NEWBIE Hello, sorry if my English is bad spelled. I am learning all about Windows server 2003. I am new to this but I am OK at networking. I have set up a small network of 1 server 2003 (running AD, DNS and DHCP on the same box). I also have two XP clients. Everything seems to work OK but I am wondering why...?? I thought I would have to authenticate the XP machines first of all. However, I have found that I do not need to. When one of the clients tries to join the domain, I can type in any name as the system name and when the login box pops up, as long as I enter admin credentials the machine is welcomed to the network. Why? Why donlt I have to set up the machine under the active directory "computers" first? i.e why is not the machine itself authentiacted? I then log in as a user. This is all ok. However, when I first log in as the user, would the machine have been authentiacted first at boot up time? Or is this where dot1x comes in? Any user can log in from any machine right? Can this be ties down? So that user dave can only log in from machine A but nit machine B? I am a bit confused... Any wlakthough docs on this guys?

    - Defragmenting Client PCs Windows 2003 server We want to set up disk defragmentation of our client machines from active directory for Windows 2003 server. Does microsoft have an add in to do this? I don't want to spend the money for diskeeper if Microsoft already had an adm or other way of doing this. Thanks. -- Valerie Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130698

    - SYSVOL not replicating Hi there, I have a problem with my domain controllers. I have two, dep-s-dc(Win 2k3 Ent) and dep-s-004(Win 2k8 Ent) dep-s-dc was our main server when the company started out and as such hosted nearly everything, DNS, DHCP, Exchange, AD and DC Over time we have got bigger and bought more servers. I installed dep-s-004 as a domain secondary controller. recently we have had problems with dep-s-dc and it was looking bad so I moved the FSMO roles to dep-s-004 making this the primary. All roles were transfered without problems. I have now noticed however that new client when logging on take an age to populate the domain list. Also group policy has stopped working. When you click on a policy you get the following message "The network name cannot be found". You get this message on dep-s-dc and dep-s-004. There are also errors relating to NTfrs in the event logs on both machines. I have done a lot of research and can't seem to pinpoint the error. Replication does seem to be working. If I create an account on dep-s-004 and check dep-s-dc it appears. ping and nslookup are ok between the two servers. It just seems to be the sysvol and netlogon that are not being replicated. they are on dep-s-dc but not on dep-s-004 How can I solve this? Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130690

    - AD Home Folder We were having problems with performance for some Citrix users. After removing the home folder settings on their AD account their performance improved drastically. Now I realize this may be a very basic question but I really can't seem to find anything about this. What exactly does the home folder setting do, and why would it impact user performance? Thanks in advance! Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130674

    - Slow authetication and GPO processing for remote site that without DC Need some advise, we are running single forest single domain on our Active Directory. Recently we notice our workstation login take very long time in our site that do not have Domain controller. From our investigation, the workstation seems to randomly select any available DC for their login process including the GPO, these has become a problem when the workstation try to connect to a DC that is very far away. I am trying to look for solution on the net on how do I force particular site to use a dedicated remote DC, no luck in getting a solution, appreciate some one could shed some light here ... rgds, Tag: Qestion about development environment Tag: 130648

    - Active Directory Domain Services has detected and deleted some possibly corrupted indices as part of initialization Hello, I'm playing around with my first 2008 server setup. So far the only role I've added was AD. It is in a new domain (not a production environment) and is the sole server. It automatically installs DNS during the process.

Hi,

We are developing an application that authenticates users based on LDAP
queries.

To do this we need to create lots of test users. We prefer not adding all
the users to our main AD branch.
Can we add a child branch to our main AD domain, with restricted
administration right so we can do our experiment without being member of
main domain adminz
