Re: [ActiveDir] Reverse DNS Lookup?

2006-11-03 Thread Al Mulnick
nslookup works the same on linux as it does on Windows. You can specify nslookup ip address and it'll do the reverse dns lookup for you.  If you need to see more information, set query to any and set the debug information (set d2 and set q=any after nslookup) AlOn 11/3/06, Michael B Allen <[EMAIL

The permissions is part of it, but there's also the part where the registry has to be adjusted (assuming winxp) to direct to the legacy data.    If you have the following: 1) forest 1 computer 2) forest 1 user profile   and you want to migrate to forest 2 then admt will do that translation for y

I've not had that same experience.  Granted, it's a limited feature utility (note the use of the word utility vs. tool as requested) but it's still capable of doing more.  There were some fixes to ntbackup in service packs and such.  You might want to verify you're using the latest version of that'

I don't think that's a safe consideration. The rest of the consideration is how the groups will be used over time.  Immediate benefit is that your sharepoint system will be able to find them in the gal and see the groups. Great.

My first reaction is, "NOOO" don't do that. That's silly. I absolutely abhor the concept of convenience to this level when it comes to access to secured resources. Saying that, DG's are often created by default as a security group.  I'd actually be surprised, and I would applaud the person

Good point but not always the case, for what it's worth.  The problem can also manifest itself as not able to logon to some (random) resources as well.  Very tricky when in that state. Topology and architecture make a big difference here as well.   There's also some tools such as ntdsutil (Brett?

Why would you have to reassign network ACL's?
