RE: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links

2006-03-08 Thread Olivarez, Sergio J Mr ANOSC/FCBS








You might want to look
into using Active Directory Load Balancing tool (adlb.exe); Ive never
used the tool but it might help you control replication and the connection
objects. Personally, I would trust the KCC and let it do its jobJ

Russ,



Perhaps you should consider disabling the
KCC within one or more sites, or forest-wide if this is a big issue.



Otherwise, I'd treat all DCs as equals and
let the KCC 'do its thing' :)

All our remote sites automatically pick
the same DC at DHQ, but this site picked a DC that is our primary DNS server at
DHQ for some reason. We've never had that DC be selected by the KCC
before, and I'm not sure why it picked that one instead.

Hi Russ,











The KCC runs 5 mins after the DC boots and after that each
15 min..











The KCC creates CO as it sees fit (and that depends on the
site and replication topology, partitions to replicate and replicas hosting
partitions).





If you remove the CO manually, it will recreate them
during the next KCC cycle. The creation of auto COs also depends on what manual
COs have been created. Manual created COs will never be touched by the KCC











So, why do you think it is wrong or what do you mean with
If you promote a new domain controller and it doesn't
automatically generate the right replication links

If you promote a new domain controller and it doesn't

to delete the link it generated and manually create the replication link?
Or if you delete it will it try to automatically generate it again?

RE: [ActiveDir] external trust between NT4 domain and windows 200 3 fails

2006-03-03 Thread Olivarez, Sergio J Mr ANOSC/FCBS
It's been a while, but I created a bunch of these a while back.  First off,
remove the trusts from both sides.  Then reboot both the NT PDC and the 2003
PDCE.  When they come back up try to establish the trust again.  If it still
fails then look at the tips below.

Make sure that the RestrictAnonymous is set to 0 on both the NT PDC and
the 2003 PDCE.  Key should be located under the following path, create it if
its not there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA

Also, make sure that the LMCompatabilitylevel key is set to a level that
will work on both the PDC/PDCE, i.e. NT PDC = 4 and 2003 PDCE = 5.  Key is
also located under the same path.

RE: [ActiveDir] Smartcard Question

2006-02-24 Thread Olivarez, Sergio J Mr ANOSC/FCBS
Marc, Brian is right about interactive logon.  You're right about the
password becoming long and complex.  What you will have to do is have every
user change their password back to something that meets your password
policy.  This means having every user visit an admin or someone with enough
permission to change a user password.  They will have to pull up the user
account through ADUC and have the user set a new password.  This will allow
them to view OWA or whatever web application that they used to be able to
with the newly set password, at the same time only allowing them interactive
logon by smartcard.

other directory objects in that it has attributes and is part of the Active
Directory namespace. However, unlike other objects, it does not usually
represent something concrete. It is the container for a group of objects and
other containers.

organizational unit (OU) -- a container object that is an Active Directory
administrative partition. OUs can contain users, groups, resources, and

RE: [ActiveDir] Ntfrs Errors

2006-02-15 Thread Olivarez, Sergio J Mr ANOSC/FCBS








If you are on a
Windows 2000 be careful of copy and paste, better off using ntbackup!:



Junctions graft the namespace (any bounded area in which a
specific name can be resolved) of the destination file system location to an
NTFS volume. An underlying reparse point permits NTFS to transparently remap an
operation to the destination object. As a result, if you modify the data in the
Sysvol structure, changes occur directly on these physical files. Additionally,
if you perform a cut-and-paste operation or a copy-and-paste operation with
these folders in the Sysvol structure that contains junction points, the
cut-and-paste operation or the copy-and-paste operation occur in the junction
point information. 

Microsoft recommends that you avoid performing a cut-and-paste operation or a
copy-and-paste operation on the Sysvol structure, especially when you perform
the paste operation on the same server. If you perform a cut-and-paste
operation or a copy-and-paste operation on the Sysvol structure, a copy of the
junction point information is created. This does not result in a copy of the
actual data. Instead, a copy of the junction point information only is created.
If you modify any of the files that appear in that folder, you modify the
source files directly.

What you would want to do is to copy everything

If you read the event 13555, it is explains on how to delete jet

local admins on their PCs that they can map to another users C$ share and see
all their data. They asked mgmt if they knew about that, and now of
course, they're concerned about it. It's been this way for years, but I
digress.











SO, what is the general conscensus on giving users full
ability to install/remove software at will, but not allowing them to map to
other PCs c$ drives? Make everyone Power Users instead? Is there
anything that they might lose from going from local admins to power users on
their PCs besides this c$ mapping functionality?

Im seeing errors 13555 and 13552 in the event log
ever since one of our DCs died and had to be pulled out of AD. When the DC
died, I did the following:



1. Seized its
PDC role

2. Removed all
entries for this DC using Metadata cleanup in ntdsutil

3. Followed the
rest of the steps outlined for Windows 2003 pre-SP1 here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=216498




Ive removed all entries I can find for this dead DC
(SBASVISDC03 is the dead DCs name) using ADSIEdit, Metadata cleanup, and the
DNS console. I ran FRSDiag this morning and found that one of the other DCs
(SBASVISDC01) still shows SBASVISDC03 as an INBOUND NEIGHBOR. Now Ive
looked and looked and cannot find where this INBOUND NEIGHBOR information is
being stored.



What am I doing wrong? There must be some place Im
overlooking.

Hey All,



I was curious if any of you have set up
hash-based software restriction policies. Id like to set up a policy to
only allow the executables that Ive hashed to run, and Im hoping
that someone has a list of all of the base executables Ill need to hash
just for WinXP to boot and log in successfully. Hopefully someone else has
already done the work, so that I dont have to use trial and error to
figure out all the exes I need to hash.



Thanks,

filter for space character only







I need to run an obscure DSQUERY with a filter that finds
displayNames with a value of a single space character. I'm stumped.
I've tried every escape character possibility that I'm aware of. I know
how to find null values, but can't seem to query on a space character
alone. It hoses the ldap syntax.











When ADUC builds the ldap query itself, it fails:











 ((objectCategory=user)(displayName=
))











 The query filter ... is
not a valid query string.











I've tried:





 





 ' '





 %20





 +





and escaping it with a \ or a ^











Any ideas?











Thanks in advance,
