RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: Failing to create a trust

In trying to validate Jorge's issue (http://www.akomolafe.com/JustSaying/tabid/87/EntryID/13/Default.aspx), I accidentally discovered a silly one in Virtual Server. See http://www.akomolafe.com/JustSaying/tabid/87/EntryID/14/Default.aspx Maybe it's not time to switch after all :) Sincerely,

RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: Failing to create a trust

I am a little confused why there is a thought that running duplicate images without changing the system SID within Virtual Server would make one immune from duplicate SID issues? The idea behind the virtualization software is to duplicate hardware, not protect the OS running on the virtual hardware

RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: Failing to create a trust

Look at it this way. When you run NewSID (or any other SID whacker), you are not actually modifying the main image. Your changes are written to the differencing disk. So, it's somewhat hard to understand the SID affinity. In physical hardware environment, we know that we have ANOTHER COPY of an ima

RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: Failing to create a trust

But the SID isn't a "device". It is simply a number stamped on ACLs and other logical constructs all throughout the OS load. A virtual disk or a virtual NIC or a virtual you name it is a fixed device with a driver in front of it that everything that wants to use it has to go through. The SID thing

It's supposed to return the output argument.  That does give the information in terms of an error return depending on what function you used.   http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""   Don't get me wrong, that's a great usage of regexps.  it works just fine in a static environment,

I seem to have missed part of the conversation since it suddenly seems to have jumped to what appears to be a conclusion that the VMWare issues were due to SID's and differencing disks. Is that what was determined? It'll be good to know for future reference. :) > -Original Message- > Fr

Oh, no. David. This is a different conversation altogether. It was something I found (on the side) while looking at the reported VMWare issue in Virtual Server. We've been able to establish that the VMWare issue does not afflict Virtual Server, but we've not made any effort (at least I haven't, s
