RE: [ActiveDir] Deny Domain GP to a single user

2004-11-13 Thread Seán
Many thanks for the suggestions!

I'm planning to do the following. Let me re-phrase what Guido
suggested:

- Add a Group called, say,  Ignore Proxy Settings. Make my user a
member of this group.

- Add a new GPO at the domain level which includes the proxy settings
and filter on the  Ignore Proxy Settings group.

Sounds about right?

 Thanks for ideas! I've built some code that runs

  Versus hardcoding GCs set up a dedicated

  shouldn't be a DC Exchange is using.ALSO and this is a point I have a

  can keep certain GCs in mind for monitoring and your response to them going

  Exchange GCs and the PDC's. The other DC's/GCs we cared about but we weren't

  Anyway, set up a script that you specify

  going against a GC across some slow wires, any query should be back in a 
  second or less for an idle DC. As you load up you will see 1,2,3,6,8 second 
  responses. Once you hit 20+ seconds on a query, you really need to be looking 
  at things. You get to 30 seconds and you most certainly have Exchange queue

Sure that would be fine, note that scope is by default 
subtree with adfind so you can cut out the -s subtree 
switch.

For the initial startup you might want to run the check 
every 10 or 15 minutes and see what you get. Build up a map in your head of what 
it is doing. Then once you are confident on how consistent the numbers are, push 
the frequency back up to once per hour. Alternatively set a threshhold and if a 
machine exceed it, crank up the frequency for that machine.

2004-11-13 Thread Rosales, Mario
Thank you everyone for the information.  

So if loopback is the only option here.  How do you handle doing loopbacks
for multiple servers?  Do you create a local loopback policy on all the
computers you want affected and then Setup the Computer OU (OU2) with a gpo
with the instructions listed here -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;231287  

I am assuming there is no way to do it through AD without having to touch
each citrix server, Correct?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OU and Policies


SO there are a few things going on here of which you should be aware.

First, GPO's applied to users take precedence over GPO's applied to
computers. The general concept is that closest policy applies last. By
that I mean the default domain policy is applied first, then walking down
the OU hierarchy, and at the same level the computer policies get applied
before the user policies.

Second, block inheritance only blocks it for the objects within the OU (and
the child Ous). So, you're only blocking inheritance to objects which exist
in OU2. Since that's the computer only, and the computer settings get
applied before the user settings, its working exactly as it should.

Finally, you mentioned Citrix. I'm guessing what you're really trying to
accomplish is controlling users' rights when logged into a specific set of
machines only. What you want is called Loopback processing. It's one of the
other options for GPO's, and basically it will force the computer policy to
override the users' policies. Its not quite that simple, and it does have
some drawbacks from what I remember. But that's what you're looking to do.

Perhaps a different way to skin the same
cat..the problem with any single query is that it could be performant in
the fact of other, slow things. For example, who cares if ldap is fast if you
have a bind perf problem due to slow trusted dc. I think you really want to
better measure your app, not as much a single query.



That said, Id be more interested in
watching key perfmon counters, where key==what you are interested in. So, ldap
response time, bind time, etc. If it exceeds X ms, then kick out.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Joining a Domain thru Command Line

Ok I know there is a way but I seem to have a disconnect and cant find
where I read about it at.  

I want to take a windows xp sp2 machine newly built and join it to the
domain and have that workstations name go into a certain OU.  Whats the
command.


Thanks

Jeff
