Moving images and the whole nine yards. Of course the links from the Cached site were blocked, but there was lots of content just on that page.

Re: Random poll: GPO count
We did the same kind of thing a while back, but a different point of view. We wanted to limit the number of objects that a particular computer would run, we did combine some policies but we also used security filtering to limit the number of objects that a particular computer would run. For example when we looked at login times a couple of years ago one computer ran an average of 35 Policy Objects. Now each computer runs about 10 Policy Objects. The idea came from a Microsoft Rep that came to speak to our company about Active Directory organization tactics. The basic idea is that it takes about 5,000 lines of code to parse through a single GPO even if it's just to get to the item level targeting within the GPP and find that it just doesn't apply, but only a moment to attempt to open one that it doesn't have access to, record the Access Denied and move on to the next one. In essence taking 5,000 lines of code down to one line.

Michael, you are correct. It does not seem to be enabled by default. What I was referring to was the fact that VSS allocates that space, which is not the same as enabled.

Re: Random poll: GPO count
Did your MS rep happen to tell you whether it takes longer or not to parse through a GPO with lots of settings, compared to a GPO with just a few? I was always an advocate of keeping GPOs as simple as possible, so that finding an errant setting was more straightforward. However some people prefer to just create something like Workstations Policy and then chock it full of every setting they can think of. Certainly from a support perspective the more GPOs, less settings works better - but I was just wondering whether there might be any performance hit from this.

+1 here to that story. I one time ordered memory for half a dozen different systems from Crucial, and it was all bundled together in one package...I didn’t even realize that one PC took low-density RAM and another one would take whatever I put in it... had to call Crucial and they helped me figure it out. But it is confusing sometimes. Maybe the solution is to order memory for each PC separately and put a sidemark on the order to help ID which computer it's going for? :-) That being said, that doesn’t necessarily help answer the question the OP asked...and which is a very good question.

Re: Random poll: GPO count
James, that would have been a good question, but no, he did indicate that a policy is about 5,000 lines which does take time to parse, but he did not indicate whether it would take longer if there were more values modified in a single policy. On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 9:20 AM, James Rankin kz2...@googlemail.com wrote: Did your MS rep happen to tell you whether it takes longer or not to parse through a GPO with lots of settings, compared to a GPO with just a few? I was always an advocate of keeping GPOs as simple as possible, so that finding an errant setting was more straightforward. However some people prefer to just create something like Workstations Policy and then chock it full of every setting they can think of. Certainly from a support perspective the more GPOs, less settings works better - but I was just wondering whether there might be any performance hit from this. On 5 November 2010 12:22, Stephen Wimberly swimbe...@gmail.com wrote: We did the same kind of thing a while back, but a different point of view. We wanted to limit the number of objects that a particular computer would run, we did combine some policies but we also used security filtering to limit the number of objects that a particular computer would run. For example when we looked at login times a couple of years ago one computer ran an average of 35 Policy Objects. Now each computer runs about 10 Policy Objects. The idea came from a Microsoft Rep that came to speak to our company about Active Directory organization tactics. The basic idea is that it takes about 5,000 lines of code to parse through a single GPO even if it's just to get to the item level targeting within the GPP and find that it just doesn't apply, but only a moment to attempt to open one that it doesn't have access to, record the Access Denied and move on to the next one. In essence taking 5,000 lines of code down to one line.

I'm thinking of getting rid of the big V6 and getting a 1.2 Golf TSI. I had one as a courtesy car a while back and it was absolutely great fun to drive, rapid acceleration coupled with fuel economy. On my current motor you can see the petrol gauge dropping when you put your foot down too hard.

RE: Random poll: GPO count
Based on this I would think 1 GPO with 3 settings = 5000 lines to parse vs. 3 GPO's with one setting each = 15000 lines to parse.

The idea came from a Microsoft Rep that came to speak to our company about Active Directory organization tactics. The basic idea is that it takes about 5,000 lines of code to parse through a single GPO even if it's just to get to the item level targeting within the GPP and find that it just doesn't apply, but only a moment to attempt to open one that it doesn't have access to, record the Access Denied and move on to the next one.

RE: User last login info
Csvde + excel = way to hard IMO. I just would use oldcmp or adfind from joeware. Either will do the math for you and output into a variety of formats. Lastlogon attribute is unique to each DC and represents the last time that particular DC authenticated that user. Really nothing to do with the PDCe. LastlogonTimeStamp, introduced in 2K3, is a replicated attribute that is a loosely consistent representation of the users last login to the domain. It is not updated every time a user logs in. It's useful to determine if a user or computer is active if your definition of active isn't too rigid. (within 9-14 days) [1] It also does not collect every possible type of logon.[2] All this is documented numerous places on the interweb, some of the best explanations IMO are in the blogs and forums on joware.net [1] The lastLogontimeStamp attribute is not updated every time a user or computer logs on to the domain. The decision to update the value is based on the current date minus the value of the (ms-DS-Logon-Time-Sync-Interval attribute minus a random percentage of 5). If the result is equal to or greater than lastLogontimeStamp the attribute is updated. This is done to keep replication traffic reasonable. [2] 2K8 introduced lastInteractiveLogon, in part to deal with this and also to facilitate displaying the info to the end-user. I will leave that as an exercise for the reader[3] :-] [3] http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2008/02/11/showing-last-log on-info-at-logon-in-windows-server-2008.aspx -Original Message- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:swimbe...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 05, 2010 5:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: User last login info I thought the last login date was sent to the domain controller running the role PDC?

Script to remove all users from a group

Re: Log management/ SIEM solution
We are currently going through a similar exercise. We have Arcsight now. It is a bear to manage. They even told us if we went above the Express product, we would need to hire a full time administrator. Looked at enVision. I talked to a large user reference and they said while it does it's thing well, they felt that it to took more care and feeding than it should. Looked at Splunk. Really liked it's flexibility and extensibility. I would describe it as google for your logs. The down side is it doesn't come with any reports, dashboards, correlation, etc. And they leave it up to you to interpret the logs - for example, Kerberos login I think results in 3 entries. They leave it up to you for the intelligence to decide that those 3 mean Kevin logged in. If they would develop a starter pack of reports, dashboards and correlations, they would probably be my favorite. Looked at Logrythm. Nice product. Downside is it is build on SQL. That's a downside from a performance perspective when you have billions of records per month and want to do some analysis. Looked at NitroSecurity. They have a FIPS certified appliance. Given that I am in the DoD market, that gives them a few extra points. They have a purpose built database (like Splunk), so queiries were fast. It comes with many things configured (or available) right out of the box. If I had to make a decision today, it would be Nitro for my environment.

RE: Script to remove all users from a group
Ah, okay, so let me clarify. With our XP workstations, we're already using restricted groups in group policy to append groups to our workstations, but it doesn't prevent people who already have access from adding additional local administrators, or adding users to other groups. As we roll out Win7, we're now implementing a restricted groups policy that will replace instead, to lock things down more. Using a WMI filter on the policies to select XP vs non-XP machines-that is working great. But, we always have those one-off scenarios where someone needs to be a local admin just long enough to get a piece of software installed, then you can drop the permissions. It's possible that run-as may work for some (not sure on this yet-might not add to the correct registry areas), but we have some really ancient software around that may not play well at all. I'm not the software packager/deployer, so that will be sorted out by others. My plan is to have a temporary local admins group in AD that is also already added via restricted groups. Techs will have access to add users to this group, but we want an automated process to dump the group membership every day, say 2am, so people don't get left there. -Bonnie From: Andrew S.

RE: Script to remove all users from a group
another option. Make your temp admin's permanent and have your techs reset the password shortly after they give it to someone to install software. As for elevated rights to install...we put the install packages that require that on a webpage. The shortcut on the web page runs it elevated for the user, so we just direct them to the webpage. We use a program called Encrypted RunAs to make the shortcuts. It is around 400 bucks for a domain wide license. From: Miller Bonnie L.

RE: Script to remove all users from a group
We do have some permanent admin groups that our techs don't have access to add people to. This problem is really a political one as most people follow the rules but a few have been told numerous times but we still find leftover admins. That software sounds interesting and I will pass the info on to our software guy, but I'm not sure if it would work for this scenario. We package and deploy via GPO (soon to be SCCM, in deployment) most of our stuff, but there are a lot of little apps that are still manually installed. Good examples would be software needed to work with a particular smart phone-not sure this would work for those one-offs.
