Oggetto: possible windows 2003 authentication problems

I just installed a new DC running windows server 2003 enterprise running 
Exchange 2003.

The server is running fine, email is working fine.

We can log on to the domain fine, with no errors.

The problem i am having is that when you open up outlook on the client 
machines, it asks for your domain username and password.
Also, when you try to browse the network and double click on the server to 
access the shares it also prompts for a username and password.
This is all after successfully logging on to the domain with the correct 
user/pass at the windows logon screen.
It should not prompt for this if you are successfully authenticated on the 
server.

I ran into this problem with one machine when i changed the machine name, and 
the machines new name not being listed in the "domain computers" list, so ive 
made sure the machines are listed with proper permissions set.
The users are also setup correctly for domain users.

Its like there is an authentication issue on the server, but i dont know where 
else to troubleshoot this problem.
The event log doesnt list any errors or problems.

Could any of you give me some help or hints as to where to look to try and fix 
this problem?

Everything looks correct on the server as far as permissions are concerned.  
The machines and users are listed in AD.

What would cause this problem?

Thanks for any help you can give.

RE: NTFS MFT protection

[Joseph L. Casale]

Unless your data on this volume is 100% static, that's not going to help.
The moment you touch that filesystem, it changes it. No backup of the mft would 
ever be valid at any point in the future...
As Ken pointed out, you need to protect the contents of the filesystem, not of 
some aspect of the underlying workings.
I'd be more interested in finding out why it tanked and preventing it.

The swing migration kit written by Jeff Middleton is a great tool.  He
hasn't finished his 2003 to 2008 kit yet, but he's started a beta process
for the kit and it's suppose to be ready in February.  He had a nice

Might be worth a watch as well.

This is a single server, small setting.  Only a few users.  Mailboxes are
relatively small to begin with.

 

If all goes to crap, I can just start over.  I was just hoping the migration
would eliminate the need to recreate accounts, etc.

The sbs2003->2008 migration is a hard slog. Do lots of preparation and check
that everything is really running smoothly first. I had problems with DNS
and ended up stripping off all my member servers and sites to simplify
things.

 

Also bring all the mailboxes down in size. If necessary archive them of and
put them back later, but let the migration run on minimal storage size - and
turn the AV OFF for the mailboxes - watching 200,000 emails come through at
1 per second is not fun!!

 

For me Exchange was the steepest learning curve, but the pop pickup really
comes into its own while you migrate and sort you IP issues. Changes to
things like catch-alls to a bit of time to work on - but I know of an MVP's
blog with a few hints (see below!!)

 

If you get a chance to virtualise the 2003 box then you could try the
migration in isolation.

I would check to see if the spooler is enabled on the printer and
disabled it if it is.  We had seen issue with Canon spooler and we just
let the print servers handle it now.  We also have seen issues with
setting IP address where we have had to let it pick from DHCP then we
could change the IP to static.

Google-Fu has suggested a few items, I was wondering if anyone here has

RE: Canon networked printer - error 853

[Webb, Brian (Corp)]

We have found the Canons to be very sensitive to speed/duplex issues -
make sure you have the NIC set to match your switch (either have both
set to auto/auto or locked in) - the interface to set it isn't the
best...

Re: VMWare alarm question - SOLVED

[Jeff Bunting]

Yes, it still sends an alert.  I think it is counter intuitive, but I
suppose alerts remain enabled because VMs may still be running on the host
while it is in maintenance mode.
Still, an option to disable alerts sounds like an obvious feature...

RE: All AD Accounts getting gradually locked out - UPDATE

[Andy Crellin]

Update: Looks like it was CONFICKER taking advantage of unpatched
systems. We are no longer getting any reports of lockouts (patches all
applied). Typical - the time you suspend patching to move to a new
system is always going to be when you are hit with a new virus. Oh well,
it didn't kill our network so our containment procedures worked well.

Ok - we are rolling out this patch to all PCs and servers now and expect
it solve the problem (the description fits, etc). Typically we had just
moved to WSUS and have been testing it on a control group for the last
couple of months, meaning that we're short a few patches!

 

I'll let you know how it goes.

Subject: All AD Accounts getting gradually locked out

 

OK, here's a teaser...

 

All of our AD accounts are gradually being locked out. I have one guy
searching for locked out accounts and unlocking them (and they do not
get re-locked out) but with 2500 accounts this is more than a PITA. Now,
this stinks of a brute force attack on an enumerated list of accounts on
the network (we allow 10 attempts then lockout for 30mins), but we can't
find _anything_ that looks like this. To compound matters, we have also
had a small outbreak of WORM_DOWNAD.AD which has been contained and
managed well, but I think this is a red herring as that worm's symptoms
are nothing like what we are seeing (and there is no correlation).

 

Does anyone know of a way to find out what processes are attempting to
make a logon attempt (we have about 10 DCs spread about the place) to an
account - bearing in mind it could be any one of 2500 accounts? Also, is
it possible to find out where the logon attempt that caused an account
lock came from?

 

Cheers, and TIA,

 

Andy.
