Re: Upgrading BES

[Steve Pruitt]

Jim, if these users have admin assistants that have access to the user's 
calendars, that could cause the problem. I've dealt with departments that had 
so much coverage and backup for email and voice mail that the entire thing 
would break about once a month. All it took was one admin doing something that 
seemed reasonable.

That was with 3.x and 4.0, so details probably have changed. Still, it wouldn't 
hurt to temporarily take away the assistants permissions to the calendar and 
see what happens.

Oh - also, OOF messages used to automatically accept meeting requests. I don't 
know if that's still true.

  I would be willing to bet the download is corrupt. There is no reason it 
wouldn't run on 32 bit machine (since that is what BES runs on).

   

  A couple of other things that come to mind in regards to meeting requests are 
permissions and perhaps even the BB OS version on the handheld. Everyone should 
hopefully be at 4.2 or higher.

  Then of course also verify that your CDO.DLL files on the Exchange server and 
BES match.

  I've got a Blackberry server that for whatever reason, doesn't always forward 
Meeting request emails to the phones of some of the employees.  But it only 
seems to occur between certain users.  I can send meeting requests from 
administrator or newly created users, but not other users.  I was going to try 
upgrading the server (4.1.4.15) to 4.1.6 then apply the two SP, but for some 
STUPID reason the 4.1.6 updater file doesn't want to run on a 32-bit machine.  

  Anyone have any ideas?

Re: deny restart local policy?

[James Rankin]

just apply a group policy that enforces the SeShutdownPrivilege not to be
applied to local administrators, but to a domain group instead. We used to
have to do this when we were responsible for controlling a domain with
administrators who thought they had the God-given right to take things
offline that were governed by our SLAs. However, you might want to set up
and add to this GPO a local user account that can shut down the system as
well, just in case you lose domain connectivity and find yourself with a
system you can't restart - although there is always the power cord, or
RIB/DRAC/ILO reset function

  Indeed.  It's always a good idea to follow a methodical approach.
Work step-by-step to identify what works, and isolate the trouble.

  However, that being said: From the original description, his mapped
drives don't immediately stop working.  They're okay for a little
while, and fall apart after a few minutes.  If he was loosing IP
connectivity, he'd loose that right away.

  Also, the default gateway will only matter if the domain controller
or other servers he's trying to reach are not on his local subnet.
(Which may be the case, of course; just thought it was worth
mentioning.)

Then ping the hostnames, see if you can resolve the names. That is my bet. The

Issue joining 2003 domain

Good morning,

I am trying to join one of our legacy W2K boxes to our W2K3 domain.  I  
am logged in as the local administrator, and when I try to join I am  
passing my domain admin credentials like new_domain\administrator.


I am getting the following error:
Network Identification
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "new_domain":

No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

I can ping the new_domain DC by name and IP, and I can see the  
new_domain from Network Places.


Any one ever run into this?

Hey Guys;

 

 

Now that we have our DR datacenter up and running we are trying to
determine our speed in between the datacenters, Both of them have
primary 50 MB pipes to the internet. What tools does everyone use to
test speeds? Outside of things like speedtest.net or websites like that?
FTP Test? SSH? SCP? I just want to do some sort of measurement that will
give me a good idea, it seems that our top speed right now is 3-5 MB/sec
which is horrid.

I'd say FTP is your best bet since it is such a low overhead "raw" TCP
protocol.  If you have a Linux distro that you can setup on both ends to
test, that would be optimal as Windows periodically has problems with
TCP Window Scaling.

RE: Lose access to local domain servers when connected w/VPN to remote / different Windows domain

[Carl Houseman]

"Use default gateway on remote network" is NOT checked for the VPN TCP/IP
configuration.

I agree with the recommendations about diagnosing in a methodical way.  Here
are the results.  If you don't have a lot of time for reading, skip to the
bottom couple paragraphs, there's a new realization there.

First, I mapped a total of 6 drives to the 2 local servers in 3 different
ways:
One to each server with \\servername (this was done by default)
One to each server with \\servername.mydomain.com
One to each server with \\ip.add.re.ss

Then I connected the VPN (with VPN gateway server credentials).
Then I mapped a drive to a remote AD DC (using remote domain credentials).

My IPCONFIG /ALL results showed (truncated to include only relevant info):

Windows IP Configuration
   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : mydomain.com
   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : mydomain.com
PPP adapter VPN-to-Customer-Network:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.7.33(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.176
   10.1.1.172
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : mydomain.com
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.55.129(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.55.1
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.55.10 [my DC/Local-DNS]

I checked DNS resolution at this time.   I could resolve FQDN's of both my
domain and the remote domain.  I've noticed that, when there are multiple
connections each with their own DNS, DNS's of each connection will be tried
in turn until one resolves the request.  You want to see route print because
you still don't trust the gateway setting I already confirmed?

Active Routes (just the important ones):
Network DestinationNetmask  Gateway   Interface  Metric
  0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0  192.168.55.1  192.168.55.129 25
 10.0.0.0255.0.0.0   10.1.5.13510.1.7.33 21
And tracert was giving 1 hop to local servers, 2 hops to remote network
servers, such as 10.1.1.172.

The first results came 20-30 minutes later, when the first mapped drives
were lost.  Which ones?
Those mapped to \\ip.add.re.ss !
The other 4 were still working.  At this point I re-checked pinging by by
FQDN to both local and remote servers, and both were working and resolving
correctly, even after an ipconfig /flushdns.  Tracert unchanged.

About 8 hours later, but with no activity, the other mapped drives were
still good.  I started doing some work and suddenly, the two drives mapped
to \\servername were exhibiting the problem AT THE SAME TIME, which is
unusual (typically the member server is the first to go by a margin of more
than a couple minutes).  The drives mapped to \\servername.mydomain.com
still worked.  Results of ping, tracert, ipconfig, route print, all
unchanged.

When I went to disconnect (NET USE /D) the drive mapped to my local DC with
\\servername, it told me "There are open files and/or incomplete directory
searches pending on the connection to m:."  Curious.  I forced it, and tried
a "net use m: /home" to restore it.  That failed: "The user's home directory
could not be determined."   My user account specifies \\server\share for my
home directory.  LIkewise, "net use m: \\server\share" got "The password or
user name is invalid for \\servername\share" and prompted for a password.
It was trying to use the VPN gateway credentials.  I then tried "net use m:
\\servername.mydomain.com\share" and that worked.

But it gets weird here.  I went into ADU&C (from the same Vista machine) and
changed my user account profile's home directory to
\\servername.mydomain.com\share.  I then tried "net use m: /home" again.
"The user's home directory could not be determined."  Went to another
machine where I was already logged on, disconnected m: and then "net use m:
/home" - worked.  WTF?

This has been interesting experiment, though little is explained.

Just to re-cap, through all this, DNS, ping, tracert, route print, ipconfig
/all results have remained the same, even after ipconfig /flushdns.

One thing that now occurs to me, my AD domain name is also my public domain
name (split DNS), with the public one pointing to a public IP for Internet
E-mail purposes.  So if something was trying to work off that top level
name, it would get a result from the remote network's DNS server and come up
with an IP address that isn't reachable.  But that's not affecting tools
such as ADU&C running on the same platform.

Can I force DNS resolution to consult my local DNS in

RE: testing Speed Reliably between datacenters

[Andy Shook]

(disclaimer, I work for a data center provider... 
www.peak10.com  )

+1

I primarily use FTP and I have "demo" FTP servers in several of my centers for 
prospects to test throughput, carrier reliability, etc.  However, I have 
assisted prospects and current customers setting up MRTG Bundle, PCs running 
perfmon and Cisco devices running Netflow, among others.  In my limited 
experience, FTP always shows the cleanest, most consistent results.

I'd say FTP is your best bet since it is such a low overhead "raw" TCP 
protocol.  If you have a Linux distro that you can setup on both ends to test, 
that would be optimal as Windows periodically has problems with TCP Window 
Scaling.

Hey Guys;


Now that we have our DR datacenter up and running we are trying to determine 
our speed in between the datacenters, Both of them have primary 50 MB pipes to 
the internet. What tools does everyone use to test speeds? Outside of things 
like speedtest.net or websites like that? FTP Test? SSH? SCP? I just want to do 
some sort of measurement that will give me a good idea, it seems that our top 
speed right now is 3-5 MB/sec which is horrid.

We are hoping for them to be home by Xmas, because technically they were 5
weeks premature, but they seem to be progressing without any complications.
That is the only reason I am still working on the Citrix farm and not at
home, as my workplace is only 5 mins from the hospital so it is easier to
pop in here for a break(!) rather than going all the way back home.

Re: Strange Simply Accounting Problem

[Shawn Everett]

Hi Guys,

Here's a strange problem that cropped up on a client's Simply 2008
Enterprise install.  This client has about 15 machines configured in a
Workgroup on Windows 2003.  Yes I know that's bad. :)

They cannot seem to connect more than 2 users to Simply.  Once they get
to 3+ they seem to get kicked out with a Windows permissions error.  It
looks like the files get set to read only.

The Windows Event logs are completely clear.  There are no obvious
errors anywhere.  Simply's tech support is pretty useless.  Reinstalling
or upgrading Simply doesn't seem to do much good either.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Shawn

We are hoping for them to be home by Xmas, because technically they were
5 weeks premature, but they seem to be progressing without any
complications. That is the only reason I am still working on the Citrix
farm and not at home, as my workplace is only 5 mins from the hospital
so it is easier to pop in here for a break(!) rather than going all the
way back home.

RE: Issue joining 2003 domain

Hey Eric,

Is the W2K box already a member of another domain? Is there anything filtering 
traffic between the DC and the old server?  I think occasionally we also had to 
use the complete dns name when trying to add. (ie domain.com not just domain).

Weird though, never seen that before.

I am getting the following error:

RE: Issue joining 2003 domain

Somewhere in Win2003 (perhaps still on the CD?) are "Support Tools".  Try 
running "ADDIAG" and "DCDIAG" (command line utilities).

Look in the system logs for both the client and the AD controller and see 
if those have any links to solutions.

That's about as much as I remember back from when I was getting these 
friendly greetings.

Try removing it from your current domain and placing it in a workgroup before 
rejoining.

Make sure that from the W2K machine when you ping new_domain.local you get back 
an active domain controller.

Gmail is also the free mail account provider of choice for Nigerian/419 
spammers to send from because Gmail hides the originating client IP address 
making filtering them more difficult.

The IE tab type items would share any vulnerability since you are running IE in

That is why I suggest burning at the stake those found, we find enough it
sure makes it hard for the script kiddies to help spread this mess.  Besides
that if you were doing it would you not be much less likely to continue with
this if you faced being burned alive when caught?  With decreasing numbers
it means more and more people are looking for fewer and fewer so the chances
of being found go up over time.  Jail does nothing to them they just have
more time to study and make even worse bugs.  Script kiddies could just get
all of their fingers removed on first conviction, treated as the rest on
second.

RE: Issue joining 2003 domain (UNCLASSIFIED)

Did you put it back in a workgroup first, reboot, then try to join the
W2K3 domain?

Yes, it is joined to an old NT domain I am trying desperately to  
decommission.  Nothing besides the switches are between the PC and the  
DC.  The funny thing is, XP machines join fine.

When I try joining new_domain.local as opposed to new_domain, I get a  
different error:

Network Identification
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain  
"new_domain.local":

The network path was not found.

Re: Issue joining 2003 domain

[Eric Brouwer]

I'm still trying to find ADDIAG, but I was able to run DCDIAG on the  
DC.  It is returning a few errors which I am now researching:


Starting test: systemlog
An Error Event occurred.  EventID: 0x0457

DC failed test systemlog

This error repeats three times.  All other tests pass.

if those have any links to solutions.

That's about as much as I remember back from when I was getting these

"Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks." Is the DEP option.  
Near the bottom of the Advanced tab.  Vista with IE 7 only I believe, not 
available in XP.

To answer the shadowserver question, it is safe it is a security website. On 
the linked pages is a list of websites that have the exploit that you could 
block yourself if you want.

Re: Issue joining 2003 domain

Deleting the (unrelated) errors from my system resolved the DCDIAG

This did not turn up anything either.

Hey Eric,

Is the W2K box already a member of another domain? Is there anything

Weird though, never seen that before.

Good morning,

I am trying to join one of our legacy W2K boxes to our W2K3

I am getting the following error:

No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

I can ping the new_domain DC by name and IP, and I can see the

You can turn off those notifications in the advanced properties of print
server.  Open Printers and Faxes, Click File, server properties.  Then
Advanced.  From there you can turn off the notifications on the clients.

Windows Search question

[Joe Heaton]

XP Pro SP3

 

We're having an issue here, searching for a specific word within files,
trying to search through multiple folders.  Specifically, we have a
drive letter mapped to a central storage location, that houses contract
information.  We want to choose a year folder, and search all folders
underneath that for the word "universal", within any files inside those
folders.  When we try, the result is negative.  If we browse to a
specific contract folder, and try at that point, we get results.  

 

Is there a limit to how many folder levels the search will go down?  Or
some other setting to check?

  I've found the Windows "Search" function to be unreliable when
looking inside contents of files.  The "FINDSTR /S" command would find
them, the GUI would not.  This was quite maddening when I didn't
realize it was happening and we couldn't find some data.  So if anyone
else knows of a fix (that doesn't involve a pre-built index (like WDS,
Google)), I'd like to know, too.

XP Pro SP3

 

We're having an issue here, searching for a specific word within files,
trying to search through multiple folders.  Specifically, we have a
drive letter mapped to a central storage location, that houses contract
information.  We want to choose a year folder, and search all folders
underneath that for the word "universal", within any files inside those
folders.  When we try, the result is negative.  If we browse to a
specific contract folder, and try at that point, we get results.  

 

Is there a limit to how many folder levels the search will go down?  Or
some other setting to check?

Hi Guys,

Here's a strange problem that cropped up on a client's Simply 2008
Enterprise install.  This client has about 15 machines configured in a
Workgroup on Windows 2003.  Yes I know that's bad. :)

They cannot seem to connect more than 2 users to Simply.  Once they get
to 3+ they seem to get kicked out with a Windows permissions error.  It
looks like the files get set to read only.

The Windows Event logs are completely clear.  There are no obvious
errors anywhere.  Simply's tech support is pretty useless.  Reinstalling
or upgrading Simply doesn't seem to do much good either.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

ADFIND filter question

[Michael . Leone]

Sorry for the slightly OT question, but joeware.net seems to be under 
construction, so I can't get to the forums.

Here's what I wanna do ... list all disabled users, in all OUs, *except* 
one particular OU. And contructing LDAP style filters is far from my 
strong suit. And I will then feed this over to my dept mate, who will use 
the extracted file as input to clean up our Notes server.

adfind -b "DC=company,DC=com" -list -csv -nocsvheader -f 
(userAccountControl="514") givenName sn sAMAccountName

I know that a value of "514" means disabled; what I don't know is how to 
construct a compund expression to say (userAccountControl="514" AND OU != 
"name-of-OU").

Pointers? And how do you specify just the OU portion of the dn, anyway, 
for use in filters or return values? 

Thanks

RE: Anyone else using OpenFiler in a production environment?

[NTSysAdmin]

I'll second Openfiler. Been using it to run a powervault 220s for 2 years now 
with not one issue. And if you need enterprise support they have that too.

My ESX instructor learned us how to use OpenFiler, and he said many companies 
use it for production.

I don't use it here, but I was very impressed with OpenFiler.  Maybe at some 
point...

Planning a move to VMWare ESX, and I'm evaluatiing my SAN choices.  I have 
OpenFiler in a production environment storing some of our data. On of our NAS 
box's flaked out on me, and I repurposed a server with Openfiler to fill the 
void and try out iSCSI SAN features.  I've been extremely happy with the 
performance.  Using it to run VM's and take advantage of High Availability 
features is where I am having some pause.  Wonder if anyone here has already 
blazed this trail


Thanks,
Jonathan

RE: Issue joining 2003 domain (UNCLASSIFIED)

[RichardMcClary]

Like I said earlier, I too went through something similar a few years ago. 
 I found the hints in the Event logs.  Look for those command-line tools 
for DCDIAG and ADDIAG.  They told me exactly what was wrong with my DNS 
server configuration.
