RE: [ActiveDir] Windows -> MIT Cross-realm auth to domains not in the same dns hierarchy

2005-06-22 Thread Andrew Riley
The DNS is BIND.  And the there is only one DNS zone for this scenario in 
BIND, SCHOOL.EDU. All individual domains manually register the appropriate 
records from netlogon.dns.  I guess that the different forests/domains 
might assume that they are not in the same zone but I've never really run a 
full fledged MS DNS service before.


The problem seems to be solely that if the disparate domains are not 
arranged with the trusting domains at least one level further from the root 
of the DNS than the trusted domain, authentication fails.So it has to 
be DOMAIN.AD.SCHOOL.EDU trusts AD.SCHOOL.EDU not DOMAIN.SCHOOL.EDU trusts 
AD.SCHOOL.EDU.


The only thing I can figure is that somehow the authentication path for a 
user principal such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] tries to walk a path that 
hierarchically takes it closer to SCHOOL.EDU from whatever domain it's in. 
I thought it might be similar to how the default for unqualified hostname 
resolution in windows is to "Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS 
suffix".  So if the trusted domain doesn't happen to be in parent suffix it 
never looks there.  But that's just a guess.

Andrew,

Really interesting problem that you're experiencing here.  I can't say
that I have seen this, but I would say in my experience I've worked with
a few multi-tree and multi-forest scenarios.  Both the multi-tree and
forest would naturally use a different DNS namespace for each tree or
forest.

I don't see this behavior, so it is concerning.  You note that this is
Windows Server 2003.  Is there anything that you can detail about the DNS
configuration?  Being a Realm 'root', is the DNS on BIND?  (Not that it's
a bad thing...)

How do the clients find the DNS that is authoritative for a given domain,
(standard forwarding, conditional, stub zones) and where are the glue
records for the specific cross-domain resolution (stub zones or
secondaries)?

If this was Windows 2000, I'd be more apt to be asking questions about the
configuration of the trusts - are they set as transitive for the Realm
Trusts? On and on and so forth...  2K3 seems to have resolved much of that
issue.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows -> MIT Cross-realm auth to domains not in the
same dns hierarchy

A few months ago I started aproject to allow a Windows domain to trust
another windows domain that trusts an MIT Kerberos Realm for user logons.

An example of this setup would be

SCHOOL.EDU <- our MIT Realm
AD.SCHOOL.EDU <- the Windows domain that trusts the MIT Realm
OTHER.AD.SCHOOL.EDU <- a trusting windows domain

All of the Windows servers are Windows Server 2003.

We have established a forest trust between the two Windows
domains/forests,  entered a new Domain Suffix in AD.SCHOOL.EDU for
SCHOOL.EDU, established a  REALM Trust between AD.SCHOOL.EDU and
SCHOOL.EDU, used KSETUP or registry  entries to add the references to the
KDCs for SCHOOL.EDU on the  workstations in OTHER.AD.UPENN.EDU.
Additionally users in AD.SCHOOL.EDU  have a name mapping to their MIT
kerberos principal.

In this setup, someone with a user account in AD.SCHOOL.EDU can walk up
to  a workstation in OTHER.AD.SCHOOL.EDU, and enter their MIT kerberos
principal and password, and select SCHOOL.EDU(Kerberos Realm) from the
"Log  on to:" box and be authenticated as their user account in
AD.SCHOOL.EDU.

The preceding solution works great, but I've found that if we establish a
trust to a domain such as DOMAIN.SCHOOL.EDU (not in the same DNS
hierarchy  as AD.SCHOOL.EDU) then user logons fail.

I've gone as far as setting up 2 other domains in a different DNS
hierarchy  and then swapping the trust around between the 4 and it's
definitely  something to do with how the domains are arranged DNS-wise.
None of them  are in the same forests, so It seems like some parent DNS
suffix fallback  that's being applied, but I have no idea where to look.

Any ideas?

thanks

I don't want to seem like I am knocking Robocopy, however from my experience
Robocopy also does the same thing. It will stop when a file is locked or in
use. It does not copy at the block level like rsync. It is a very useful
tool but beware of it's limitations. (Although the version I used was from
the 2000 resource kit, so if there has been improvements I may be mistaken).

RE: [ActiveDir] GPO configuration

2005-06-22 Thread Hunter, Laura E.
Very interesting that that's in Group Policy.  We used to do something similar 
for our Internet kiosks with a teeny homegrown VB app.  In that case we pretty 
much chose to ignore the "user can open 100 windows at once and gum up the 
works" problem, since the kiosk was on a ridiculously short idle timeout that 
would close everything and start over for the next person anyway.

[ActiveDir] Windows -> MIT Cross-realm auth to domains not in the same dns hierarchy

2005-06-22 Thread Andrew Riley
A few months ago I started aproject to allow a Windows domain to trust 
another windows domain that trusts an MIT Kerberos Realm for user logons.


An example of this setup would be

SCHOOL.EDU <- our MIT Realm
AD.SCHOOL.EDU <- the Windows domain that trusts the MIT Realm
OTHER.AD.SCHOOL.EDU <- a trusting windows domain

All of the Windows servers are Windows Server 2003.

We have established a forest trust between the two Windows domains/forests, 
entered a new Domain Suffix in AD.SCHOOL.EDU for SCHOOL.EDU, established a 
REALM Trust between AD.SCHOOL.EDU and SCHOOL.EDU, used KSETUP or registry 
entries to add the references to the KDCs for SCHOOL.EDU on the 
workstations in OTHER.AD.UPENN.EDU. Additionally users in AD.SCHOOL.EDU 
have a name mapping to their MIT kerberos principal.


In this setup, someone with a user account in AD.SCHOOL.EDU can walk up to 
a workstation in OTHER.AD.SCHOOL.EDU, and enter their MIT kerberos 
principal and password, and select SCHOOL.EDU(Kerberos Realm) from the "Log 
on to:" box and be authenticated as their user account in AD.SCHOOL.EDU.


The preceding solution works great, but I've found that if we establish a 
trust to a domain such as DOMAIN.SCHOOL.EDU (not in the same DNS hierarchy 
as AD.SCHOOL.EDU) then user logons fail.


I've gone as far as setting up 2 other domains in a different DNS hierarchy 
and then swapping the trust around between the 4 and it's definitely 
something to do with how the domains are arranged DNS-wise.  None of them 
are in the same forests, so It seems like some parent DNS suffix fallback 
that's being applied, but I have no idea where to look.


Any ideas?

RE: [ActiveDir] RRAS pptp issue

2005-06-22 Thread Charlie Kaiser
We've experienced similar issues and they are always a client side
issue; usually dropped packets. VPNs don't like dropped packets. :-)
When we get more than 20-30% dropped packets, we see the VPN start to
flap. I start by checking the client IP settings and if I don't find an
issue there, I get the ISP involved. Sometimes something as simple as a
DSL router reboot cures the problem. I have frequently found line issues
when the ISP gets involved, though.
My experience has been like yours; extremely limited logging on the
client side. There may be a way to crank it up, but I haven't really
looked for it. I usually find lower-level errors quickly and work from
there...

[ActiveDir] Tuning the server service and event ID 2022

2005-06-22 Thread Ruston, Neil
Title: Tuning the server service and event ID 2022





Whilst working with Windows NT and Windows 2000, I've encountered issues with the server service which manifest themselves as "event id 2022"

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=245080


Specifically, I have observed this on w2k DCs (SP3) and made registry changes to the lanmanserver key as a result. See below for detail.

Maximum Work Items  65535  
Maximum Raw Work Items  512
Maximum Free Connections    100
Minimum Free Connections    32 

The above changes appear to have alleviated the issues and I am now researching if these changes are needed on w2k3 DCs. I have read/been informed that the w2k3 server service is self tuning and therefore will not require the above changes to be made. I have also been led to believe that the default and max values for the above keys are significantly increased when comparing w2k and w2k3.

Does anyone else have any experiences / suggestions / best practices they can share on this subject?


TIA,
neil

RE: [ActiveDir] Migrating remote users to new domain

2005-06-22 Thread Carerros, Charles
Ian, 

One thing that you might want to try (and that I think will work) is if you
migrate the machine over their VPN, but when the computer comes back online
have them use their old network ID to log on once, connect through your VPN
client and then have them use the "run as" feature on any application using
their new domain credentials.  

When they use the "run as" it should download their new credentials to the
machine so when they log off their old account and back in with the new
account the laptop should already have the SAM entry for the new domain
account.

It's a theory, but it might work.

Charlie

Sorry, I should have been clearer. It's the computer accounts that  
concern me. We can arrange for the users workstation to be connected  
to the domain at the time of migration but I'm just thinking it may  
be safer to simply have all remote computers returned to the main  
office for the migration.

Title: ADMT and Error 7422



Excellent, thanks Charlie, makes complete sense. In this 
case all VPN's are client based so it looks like a return to base will be 
required.

  As 
  long as the VPN connection is at the router level and isn't a desktop VPN then 
  you will be alright.  
   
  I 
  just finished migrating most my of Division with eight different locations 
  being VPN locations.  The only problem I ran into was with our remote 
  users who use desktop VPN software.  The desktop VPN software needs to be 
  launched by the end-user which means after the laptop was migrated and reboot 
  the user could not log on because the laptop couldn't find the domain until 
  after it was connected with the VPN software which couldn't be launched until 
  after the user was logged on.  The Chicken and the Egg 
  problem.
   
  But 
  the site based VPN users went flawlessly, (oh, after we solved an MTU sizing 
  issue at those locations).
   
  Hope 
  this info helps.

Migrating remote users to new domain
I'd appreciate a quick heads up on this. I have a 
Windows 2003 native Mode domain with 150 odd remote users. These users are 
connected to the domain via client VPN over Broadband. 
 
Will it be possible to migrate these users and 
computers to a new domain using ADMT (or third party tool) without bringing 
the workstations onto the LAN. Anyone done something similar 
?
