I'm really confused reading this thread. Perhaps the OP can summarize what's 
been done and the current problem or problems?

I like it. Of course, you could implement this feature now on your own.

It's enabled in the Preview build - and it's so much easier than typing a 
password. I used a family photo for a while and the password was to draw a 
noose round the mother-in-law's head - what fun.

What would be good is if they could move the photo around that way you don't 
get smudge marks in the same place.

  Come to think of it, the iPhone/iPad already has this logon feature.

Sure, but if you're making a consisent motion to authenticate, whether it

If it's in different locations you can better sort out the common elements

  Yah, now instead of people using their name as their password,
they're going to use a diagonal line from upper left to lower right.

RE: Server 2003 DC issues

[Greg Sweers]

Well one interesting issue that has creeped up overnight.  The Server2 DC which 
is now the only DC on the network fails Advertising on DCDIAG.  It shows that 
its not part of the replica set doing a dfsutil

I have tried a burflags D4 but it's not even registering the change after a 
service restart.  D4 stays in the registry.

In the registry under NTFRS Parameter there is a registry key for cumulative 
sets but there is not anything under the regular replica set.

This server2 is the exchange box, so I cant just stand up another DC, dcpromo 
this one down and backup..  There has to be a way to recreate itself in the 
replica set?

Whats weird is that I have netlogon and sysvol folders, I can edit GP, but all 
of the machines and other member servers fail on gpupdates..

Shazaam...Well that's what I was watching when I realized an important fact.. 
THAT CAME FROM YOUR COMMENT ABOUT PICKING ONE AD or the other and nuking the 
other.
Server2 had a completely intact AD from about 30 days ago.  The changes on 
server1 were part of a failed 2008 upgrade, they had somehow disabled server2 
during the upgrade.  
I basically shutdown server2 again, did a backup and then dcpromo server1 
completely out of domain.
Started up server2, seized roles... except schema master...

Somehow server2 went disabled in AD.  Edited ADSI to reenable the computer 
account, rebooted.  Seized schema, cleaned up AD from server1, purged DNS, 
checked DNS application partition and ran dcdiag and netdiag.  All clean.

Now to put server1 back in business and call it a night...

  You might want to wait and see if Brian Desmond chimes in.  He knows as much 
about Active Directory as just about anyone (he literally wrote the book on 
it), he may know of some better fix that's developed in the past ~7 years since 
I had to do this.

Actually no, I had an SE asking me what they did and he said "doesn't seem like 
they should be in there", and not seconds after posting to the list me telling 
him those only appear when "show advanced features" is on got an "ooh that's 
why I haven't seen them before". I am used to seeing them, not being an "AD

RE: Boot from SAN

Re: GPO - Deny Logon Locally to everyone in OU?

[James Rankin]

I think he wants to do it automatically for everyone in the OU. I remember
doing it with a *dsquery *command which then piped the users from the OU to
a *net user* command and restricted the logon workstations with that, but
it was very clunky, and I think the OP wanted something a bit more elegant.

PowerShell, anyone?
