[ActiveDir] Enterprise Domain Controllers group missing...

2006-11-21 Thread Matt . Duguid

- We recently upgraded the schema in one forest from Windows 2000 to
Windows 2003.

- We now receive the following error when trying to access group policies,
"The Enterprise Domain Controllers group does not have read access to this
GPO. The Enterprise Domain Controllers group must have read access on all
GPO's in the domain in order for Group Policy Modelling to function
properly. To learn more about this issue and how you can correct it, click
Help.".

- I can confirm we do not have an "Enterprise Domain Controllers" group in
any of the domains.

- I have found the following article "
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/b44ba1b5-9f85-4bee-84c9-1994921658cd1033.mspx?mfr=true
" which shows how to fix the GPO issue using
"GrantPermissionOnAllGPOs.wsf"...but this assumes we actually have the
group  "Enterprise Domain Controllers" available. From further reading I
see this group has a specific SID of S-1-5-9 so I can not simply create a
new group.

- Does anyone have any idea how the group "Enterprise Domain Controllers"
can be recreated with the correct SID of S-1-5-9 so that we can run the
script "GrantPermissionOnAllGPOs.wsf" to fix the group policy problem?

Hi there,

I read that in another article as well...

http://groups.google.co.nz/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory/browse_thread/thread/37eb3a91907d3f4e/4173fe072f7269b9?lnk=st&q=The+Enterprise+Domain+Controllers+group+does+not+have+read+access+to+this+GPO&rnum=2&hl=en#4173fe072f7269b9

...but we have nothing under foreign security princpals which matches the
SID we are after. Does anyone know how to create a group that uses a well
known SID or how this group is created initially so we can repeat the
process?

Sorry read and responded to this to fast you should have an Enterprise Domain 
Controllers group however it becomes a member of "Windows Authorization Access 
group" after the PDC upgrade.  You will be missing some of the other Groups and 
Security Principals listed in that section until the PDC is upgraded.

Thanks,

>>>I can confirm we do not have an "Enterprise Domain Controllers" group in
any of the domains.
Really? How did you confirm that? In ADUC (with "Advanced Features" enabled
in View) and doing a custom search for "enterprise", simply looking in the
"Foreign Security Principals" containers?

Hi there,

I finally found out where this group was...it is available from Windows
2000 AD forwards and is found at CN=Enterprise Domain
Controllers,CN=WellKnown Security
Principals,CN=Configuration,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x. Its not viewable/searchable
under ADUC even with advanced features turned on but you can use it to
apply security on an AD object.

Cheers everyone for your assistance...  ;-)

Sorry read and responded to this to fast you should have an Enterprise
Domain Controllers group however it becomes a member of "Windows
Authorization Access group" after the PDC upgrade.  You will be missing
some of the other Groups and Security Principals listed in that section
until the PDC is upgraded.

Sorry read and responded to this to fast you should have an Enterprise
Domain Controllers group however it becomes a member of "Windows
Authorization Access group" after the PDC upgrade.  You will be missing
some of the other Groups and Security Principals listed in that section
until the PDC is upgraded.

You responded to the thread where Steve already corrected himself. Read the doc 
you cited again. Only the EDC membership changes during the process you 
described. EDC itself is NOT created at this point. It is merely made a member 
of the newly-created "Windows Authorization Access" group.

Mistyped the Inherited/ inherit ACE flags there, but you get my point -kind 
of makes sense in English.


I'm guessing, as I'm not in a position to test, that perhaps GPPREP adds the 
necessary ACE(s) to the aforementioned container, resulting in an ACE set 
with the INHERIT flag, which means that child objects will inherit this ACE 
(unless NO_PROPOGATE is set, which is isn't).

2006-11-22 Thread joe


>>>>>> Its not viewable/searchable under ADUC even with advanced features

>>> That is an incorrect statement.
 
 
Maybe... maybe not... Unless you have actually looked at that directory
instance you cannot possibly know for sure. You can expect it should follow
a certain pattern you have perceived in the past, but you can't be 100% sure
it is the case for every instance. I can show a bitmap right now that shows
that group doesn't exist in FSPs... All that proves is that my test
directory doesn't have it and your test directory does have it.
 
Enterprise Domain Controllers is a well known security principal, it lives
initially in the configuration container with other well known security
principals in the WellKnown Security Principals container. That
container isn't viewable from ADUC... It doesn't become something you can
view as an actual object in ADUC until it gets added to a group in a domain
NC - specifically/usually the group Windows Authorization Access Group. Even
if added, someone could delete it and then something has to re-add the Well
Known Security Principal to a group again to get the FSP to be created and
add it to the Authorization Access Group for things to be right. 
 
Also note that if someone is looking for the name of the group, like they
would with any normal regular group, that will obviously fail because the
name in the domain NC is a SID, not the group name. 
 
This isn't a normal case, it is a very specific special implementation.
There are special little implementation details all throughout AD that you
don't know about until you actually encounter them. I would not be suprised
by even experienced admins to be tripped up on this one. It isn't worth
really knowing about unless you have had a reason to have to know about it.

I believe SteveL may have already suggested that this group is only

available post w2k, and only after the PDC in the domain has been

upgraded. Further info here:

Hi there,



I finally found out where this group was...it is available from Windows

2000 AD forwards and is found at CN=Enterprise Domain

Controllers,CN=WellKnown Security

Principals,CN=Configuration,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x. Its not viewable/searchable

under ADUC even with advanced features turned on but you can use it to

apply security on an AD object.



Cheers everyone for your assistance...  ;-)

Sorry read and responded to this to fast you should have an Enterprise

Domain Controllers group however it becomes a member of "Windows

Authorization Access group" after the PDC upgrade.  You will be missing

some of the other Groups and Security Principals listed in that section

until the PDC is upgraded.



Thanks,

You have to upgrade or install one of the servers in each domain to

Windows Server 2003 and then transfer the PDC Emulator role to the

upgraded or added Windows Server 2003 box.  When a Windows Server 2003

box takes over the PDC Emula

Just for future reference the easiest way to identify where an object is 
if you have a SID is to use adfind with the -binenc option:
adfind -binenc -b dc=FOO,dc=BAR -f objectSID=S-1-5-9

You'll find the full path to the object under >objectCategory:

While the binenc option isn't strictly needed for this example, as well 
known security principals apparently don't need to be encoded, it does not 
hurt and it's a good habit to get into because you WILL need it for many 
SID searches =)

Thanks,

If querying objectsid in K3 or ADAM you don't need -binenc, even for
non-well knowns. :)
 
Any other SID field though will require it that I am aware of. 
 
 
 
The quickest way to find a SID in objectsid or sidhistory with adfind is
through the adsid shortcut like so
 
adfind -sc adsid:s-1-5-9
