Re: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries

2007-01-27 Thread Mathieu CHATEAU

In my opinion, there is a pure TCP/IP network issue...

A sample example:
The DC is 10.10.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0 (/16 as indicated).
if you try to ping 10.10.41.104, it will try to communicate on the LAN, 
seeking its arp.

It won't send packet to the gateway since 10.10.41.0 must be on the LAN.

The only way to get it work is to use a Layer 2 link between both site.

Mathieu CHATEAU

Say I create an AD subnet of 10.10.0.0/16 and assign it to our primary site, 
and another subnet as 10.10.41.0/24 and assign it to a secondary site. Will 
AD treat a client address of, say, 10.10.41.104 as a client on the secondary 
site, or will it default to the more general primary subnet? The reason I 
ask is we now have a need for a second AD site (I can see all the enterprise 
folks grinning now) and we have quite a number of other subnets that I'd 
have to manually enter if this is not the case. I don't mind doing it, but I 
was curious either way.

RE: [ActiveDir] Disable CD ROM through GP

2007-01-27 Thread Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
Hello Dhiraj,

it's always a kind of risk to put something into production without testing
- even with good guidance there might be small issues which may lead to big
results.

That said - implementing a new Policy Extension in GP is pretty easy. First,
copy the ADM to the ADM-Files in the Group Policy Object in Sysvol. They are
referenced by GUID ({xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx}) there - you are able to find out the
GUID of your GPO using GPMC. After you copied the ADM-File there, open the
Group Policy. For custom ADMs you have to adjust the Filter (in the View
Menu of the GP-Object Editor): Select the Administrative Template Node
underneath either User or Computer Configuration (prop. Computer in your
case), then go into the View Menu and click "Filter". Unselect "Only show
policy settings that can be fully managed".
Afterwards you should be able to find your policy setting and you are able
to configure it.

I'd do this in a separate GPO for testing, and remove the Right (in
Security, make sure that you remove the right and do _not_ deny it) of
Authenticated Users to apply the policy. Afterward enter your own
computeraccount and give him the right to apply the policy - just to make
sure that you are testing it before. If it works on your computer you can
reset the rights be allowing Authenticated Users to apply it again and
remove your computer account from the security settings. Now they will apply
to all computer accounts underneath the level (domain, OU, site) where you
linked the GPO.

Gruesse - Sincerely, 

Ulf B. Simon-Weidner

RE: [ActiveDir] How to find non-primary SMTP addresses?

2007-01-27 Thread joe
To change the previous perl script to give the same output it would look
something like


open ofh,">QueryOutput.csv" or die("ERROR: Can't open CSV output file:
$!\n");
print ofh "First Name, Last Name, ID, Primary Mail Address,,Additional Email
Addresses\n";

@out=`adfind -nodn -sc exchaddresses:smtp -csv -csvq \"\" -csvmvdelim ,
-nocsvheader givenname sn samaccountname mail`;

foreach $thisline (@out)
 {
  $thisline=~s/smtp://ig; # strip smtp: and SMTP:
  print ofh $thisline;
 }
 

:)

Then to take it a step further for the later conversation about a disjoint
between mail and proxyaddresses primary SMTP (yes this is possible I see it
pretty regulary in companies, it is only enforced I believe by ADUC, nothing
in Exchange) you can make the script identify cases where you have a
disjoint between mail and the primary SMTP with something like

open ofh,">QueryOutput.csv" or die("ERROR: Can't open CSV output file:
$!\n");
print ofh "Disjoint Mail Attribs, First Name, Last Name, ID, Primary Mail
Address,,Additional Email Addresses\n";

@out=`adfind -nodn -sc exchaddresses:smtp -csv -csvq \"\" -csvmvdelim ,
-nocsvheader givenname sn samaccountname mail`;

foreach $thisline (@out)
 {
 
($mail,$primarysmtp)=($thisline=~/,([^,[EMAIL PROTECTED],]+),.*SMTP:([^,[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],]+)[\n,]/)
;
  $disjoint=($mail ne $primarysmtp)?"TRUE":"FALSE";
  $thisline=~s/smtp://ig; # strip smtp: and SMTP:
  print ofh "$disjoint,$thisline";
 }

Re: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries

2007-01-27 Thread Mathieu CHATEAU

i don't agree.
the /24 is included in the /16.
You won't have layer 3 routing between the two site, at least from the 
primary to the secondary. Even if it will work from a routing point of view 
from the secondary to the primary.


what's the point ?

RE: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries

2007-01-27 Thread joe
Active directory will use the most specific network address that applies to
it. For instance, I set up a class-A address (or multiple in some companies)
that applies to all of the network space of the company and assign that to
the primary data center location. Then I start making more focused subnets
that route clients / replication to more specific locations. That way you
don't run into the issue where clients can't find their own subnet so choose
a random DC. I have set up subnets all the way from 8 bit down to 32 bit as
needed and it all works fine.

You are mistaking machine subnetting and subnetting defined in AD. They are
not connected. The definitions in AD do not have to reflect what is really
happening at the routing layer. They are generally close but there isn't any

Because your first site won't be able to joint the other one as it will

Even something that can query Domino for all users and groups and return all

RE: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries

2007-01-27 Thread Brian Desmond
AD subnets have nothing to do with how the WAN is actually routed. All they do 
is link an IP address to a site. If you don't have a blanket subnet as a last 
resort your DCs start filling their event logs with events about how clients 
are connecting from unknown subnets.

So what you do is you take your hub datacenter(s) and associate large supernets 
with the site objects (as big as 10.0.0.0/8 if appropriate). Then you associate 
the actual subnets with the sites where they're physically located.
