[ActiveDir] bulk user creation

2006-07-30 Thread Sharif Naser
Title: Message



Hello
All,

I have a round 350
users to be created with their mailboxes in windows 2003, what is the best way
to automate the process or delegate this job to two account
operators.

Any suggestions are
highly recommended.

Thanks ken

I re-started my domain controllers ,deleted alias record from dns added
again. I was getting dns errors 4004,4015  and 4016.
I'm watching the DNS and see whether those errors will come again or
not.

As mentioned before, please get a packet capture using Ethereal or
Netmon.
Then we can see what's actually happening on the network.

How to turn on automatic logon in Windows XP

You are definitely taking a risk with this box on your domain in the
open like this.

Since this box will be in the open with no logon requirements you will
want to really tighten security on this box.

On top of the OS lockdowns at a minimum I would recommend putting a
password on the BIOS and prevent users from booting to a CD or USB
(easy enough to boot into Knoppix or use other methods to control of
the box)

Thanks
Mike

 To allow the user to only logon on to that machine go into their

 that particular machine.

 You could deny everyone else the right to log on locally using a

 This is the setting in the GPO

 Go into Log on Locally  remove Users, Power Users, and Backup

 you ever need to access the machine interactively.

 Account Tab and use the Log On To feature and only allow access to
 that particular machine.

 You could deny everyone else the right to log on locally using a 
policy.

 This is the setting in the GPO

 Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
 Policies\User Rights Assignment

 Go into Log on Locally  remove Users, Power Users, and Backup
 Operators then add this particular user.  I would not remove the
 administrators but you can do that and just add your account in case
 you ever need to access the machine interactively.

 Thanks

Sharif;

We do something very very similar to this...sadly, we do it with reg 
hacks on individual users (since we don't have AD here yet -- stop 
yelling at me, I'm working on it ;))

Currently, we have no context menus, remove file and edit menus from IE, 
cannot create new icons on the desktop, and various other limited things 
to remove items from My Computer and the start menu

Note these are for some clinical workstations -- for other areas where 
we really need to be strict, we've managed to enforce some policies 
(since they're connecting to 2000 Server via Terminal Services)

If you need the reg hacks to at least see which sections of the registry 
need to be modified, let me know and I'll paste them into an email...

Thx

Brendan

(P.S. -- Anyone have suggestions for convincing your boss that AD is a 
necessity other than the usual this would make our lives so much 
easier, and provide a better experience for our end users?)
(I'm kidding -- we're still working on getting something off the ground 
-- imagine a shop with the foresight to have set up an Enterprise 
Directory more than 5 years ago, but still doesn't use even so much as 
an NT domain for workstation authentication)

Wish us luck!

Hello experts,



We need to upgrade our existing 2000 environment to windows
2003 environment. How can i do that smoothly without
any hassle?



At this moment, Im in process of taking one extra
domain controller (has no role) from the existing active directory structure 
isolate it in a separate network to try the upgrade.



Is this the right scenario otherwise how can I replicate my
domain controllers in different hardware  do an upgrade test.



Is there any recommendation I need to be aware of.

Thanks a lot guys,



Im afraid it was not the right KB
article but I do appreciate your response. On the other hand I did my home work
in order to find a solution for this problem.

Unfortunately, my home work was
unfruitful.



Now, the good news is that the problem was
solved through solving an exchange problem I dont know whether this

Finally, I need to know how do you collect

Jorge, the problem with
throwing a KB at it is that there are hundreds..probably
thousands..of things that could cause this. With the data provided, it
is nearly impossible to effectively diagnose the problem. This KB could be it,
and if it is, I suggest you go out and buy a lotto ticket immediately. :)



This is my standard
action plan I use for high lsass/dsamain utilization cases:

0) During the problem state please collect 3-5 dumps of lsass using
adplus as follows: adplus Hang p 123 o c:\dumps
(instead of 123 use the PID of lsass please)

1) During the problem please collect a network trace with a duration
of at least 2 minutes in length

2) If on 2k3, collect =5 minutes worth of SPA data. Set SPA to
data only mode, and just zip up the transfer directory. We can compile it
after.

You don't specify what
system clock is off by 5 minutes but for fun I will assume all system clocks in
your forest. To that I ask... Are you syncing your forests to an external
authoritative source? There is a time service available because computers tend
to not keep time all that great and need constant adjustments. You do this by
pointing a couple of your forest root DCs (specifically anything that can
become the PDC of the root domain) to some external authoritative source and
then let the rest of your environment autosync to (eventually) these servers.

I believe that domain
controller which you use as the time source to sync other DCs will be monitored
and time adjusted to suit the correct time.



I have made one server to
sync with time.windows.com. Then let all other servers including DCs to sync
with this one server. Internally my time server is that server which syncs with
the external time source. 



There are other time
sources externally from where you can sync your server. The info is at

in our environment
sometimes I do get serious problems with the XP clients as they are out of time
sync with the DC.
