RE: [ActiveDir] Read-Only Domain Controller and Server Core

Apologies as Im reading in digest. But I just wanted to chip something into this surrounding OUs versus groups as it was something that Ive been thinking about on my mind-numbing commute. I understood that RODCs could be configured to be a read only subset of objects (users) from the

Whoa, yep perhaps I didn't ramble enough!Simply, whoops I've lost something out of the directory. I need to get that stuff back. Where can i get the stuff back from:- tape - another DC - perhaps deleted object restoration by some other 3rd party or another custom written process,

[ActiveDir] dsHeuristics and list object access mode

2005-12-14 Thread PAUL MAYES
dsHeuristics can be used to control whether the 'list contents' ACE has an affect. So if the attribute is set to 001 then this means that if you haven't got list contents permission on a container then you can't see what's under it. Whereas if dsHeuristics is the equivalent of 000 then list

2005-12-14 Thread PAUL MAYES
Aha. It is down to shoddy cut and pastes then. Sorted.The 3rd bit controls the "list object"behaviour not "list contents". The former is only available to use in an ACE if the 3rd bit is set to 1. If it's set to 0 or "not set" then "list contents" is available but not "list object".This

Alain, Superb, setting the options in advance allowed me to get the SACLs correctly. Pity that it doesn't seem to be reflected in any other literature. Virtual pint on it's way or at least a purchase of your book! Thanks, Paul. From: "Alain Lissoir" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [ActiveDir]

[ActiveDir] scripting sacls

I'm trying to modify the sacls on an object. Every document/book/google demostrates how to do this by get the ntSecurityDescriptor of an object and then obtaining a handle to the SACL by referencing .SystemAcl from the descriptor. Nice except that when you try and get the object you get an

Suspend all sanity for a moment. Im not wandering down the route of trusted and untrusted administrators, thats just how I arrived at this point. Simply Im just curious about the possibility of modifying systemFlags. If you try through ldp or adsiedit you get errors general around the

I want to prevent a collection of administrative users from deleting certain objects/containers etc now I could set up some more acl's on these objects or I suppose that I could wander off and buy a product off the shelf to offer that protection. But looking at it some of these products do

I am currently in the process of scripting up some GPs to import into an AD. As part of thisI need to add a filter to a couple of the policies to deny a group read access. (Putting the reasons for doing this aside for the minute.). I'm trying to find a way to do this, I've tried using the

[ActiveDir] Replication countdown

Anyone know of a way to identify how long a dc has until it's next replication cycle? DC's must maintain some type of countdown timer so that they know when to start a replication connection, trouble is finding if it's in an easy to grab place. If I look at a box I'm after seeing how long before

[ActiveDir] Active Directory users and Terminal Server in NT4.0

...maybe a little late in the day... I'm assuming that the users are in the Active Directory in which case this isn't an issue it's by design. Otherwise you'd be having users circumventing desktop restrictions by finding a machine in another trusted domain. Perhaps what you should actually be
