[ActiveDir] Date Modification not same on the folder and subfolder level
Hi All, On my file server, why do i get different modified dates for users main folder and subfolders and even the files in the subfolders. My concern is even if a user has changed or modified a file on any specific date, the parent folder should show me the latest modified date. Or if we have N number of files modified on different dates, then what should be the date on the parent folder ? Thanks in advance.

One reason which i figure out is that it could be related to the system time of the client machine with the system time of DC ( Related to failure of Kerberos ticket ) . Any other pointers???

RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Query Fails
Hi Al, I did the following configurations in the OE directory services.. like 1. LDAP server name - I tried by giving both domain name and the server name ( ldap://ldap.server name) 2. I changed the search base also. Like ou=abc,dc=def,dc=com 3. kept the port to 389 for ldap search. After doing all this, when i find ppl by giving the browser address (ldap://ldap.server name) i get following error " Specified Directory service could not be reached. The service may be temporarily unavailable or the server name may be incorrect" :-( I am not using any kind of Proxy to connect to the internet.

When you open ldap://servername you're really making a call to use WAB.EXE which is the same address book that OE uses to search for users. I notice though, that if you specify a server to contact, that you get that pre-filled in vs. if you open it in search or via OE. Interesting IE uses the following key to control what it uses for the ldap url: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Contacts\Address Book\Protocols\ldap\shell\open\command So my thinking was that you needed to properly specify the directory on the client. It may just be permissions related however, as utilizing the ldap url to open a DC for search provides null credentials by default. Check your security logs (if auditing) to see if this is the case. Note: I notice as I looked at this in my test environment that I had no notification in the event logs. I didn't look at it long enough to see if I had the audit settings perfected, so it's possible I missed something. However, a network trace shows the attempt and an error indicating that I need to first bind. That's not really correct, because I do bind, but I bind anonymously. It should be telling me to allow anonymous bind in order to search etc. If it helps, ldap url syntax is defined in RFC 2255.

Couple of points here. Using restricted group policy on DCs to control domain group membership is bad news. I would simply avoid it. This particular error indicates that you are trying to add a group to a domain local group that is from another domain, and that this is not allowed--at least not on a domain local group. I would go into the Restricted Groups policies that are applying to your DCs (either linked to the Domain Controllers OU or to the Domain) and figure which policy is doing this. You can also run rsop.msc on the DC in question to see which GPO is delivering the winning restricted groups policy.

Couple of points here. Using restricted group policy on DCs to control domain group membership is bad news. I would simply avoid it. This particular error indicates that you are trying to add a group to a domain local group that is from another domain, and that this is not allowed--at least not on a domain local group. I would go into the Restricted Groups policies that are applying to your DCs (either linked to the Domain Controllers OU or to the Domain) and figure which policy is doing this. You can also run rsop.msc on the DC in question to see which GPO is delivering the winning restricted groups policy.

RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT Hi Santosh, It is true that account is created but the machines just dont reboot. In my case i tried even changing the time from 1 min to 5 min. But the machines just dont reboot. Even after rebooting the machines manually, the domain name remained the same. After checking the logs on c:\temp on the clients machine i found this error "failed to change the domain affiliation (hr=8007054b), the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" . Because of this i concluded that account creation on the Target domain is may be because of ADMT agent, which gets properly installed on the client machine and do the necessary changes, but client is not able to contact the Target domain and hence dont reboot on their own. The other most common error i have seen in the logs is that "hr=800706fb The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". Again I guess this is related with the Administrative permission in the domain. Santosh what error you are getting in the logs?

The machine name will also change to "name.test.local" whereas I want it to be "name.abc.net" . Scenario 2# If i give new DNS domain name "abc.net" . It gives me the error " wizard cannot configure DNS for domain abc.net. However the DNS service was successfully installed. DNS zone already exists." . This way no srv records are created. Please help me what would be the right approach. Regards, Sudhir Kaushal Systems Administrator ( Hosted Team ) eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd.

RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Zone Migration
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Zone Migration Santosh, you can also copy the dns zone files from ur NT system and copy them to win2003 server. While configuring zones on win2003 server, configure the primary zone as u have on NT 4 server and assign the copied zone file as it dns file. You can see all the records as it is. This will escape you from replication of DNS. Regards, Sudhir Kaushal Systems Administrator ( Hosted Team ) eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd.

Here is the scenario. NT 4.0 PDC is holding a DNS zone called Mydomain.com. Unfortunately, I have to use the same Mydomain.com for Windows 2003 AD domain. It is a parallel migration. What is the best way to migrate Mydomain.com to new Windows 2003 machine? I am thinking about the following option: 1: Create a secondary zone for Mydomain.com on Windows 2003 machine pointing NT 4.0 PDC as the primary; Change it to the Primary 2: Delete the zone on NT4.0 PDC and create a secondary zone for Mydomain.com pointing Windows 2003 as the primary Do you see any problems with this? Are there any best practices for doing this? Thanks in Advance!
