[ActiveDir] Odd Logon Delay with 2byte transfers

Hi everyone, I have a truly intriguing one for you. We have recently begun to experience an inconsistent problem where by interactive network logon onto a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 server may take upwards of 40 mins to complete. The authenticating domain controller is on a gigabit link to the

Re: [ActiveDir] GPO's not always applied.

I've had a similar problem. In digging through the problem, I found some of the following, usually by tracing through the eventlog on the respective machine. Computer account had a problem in the domain - just needed to be removed and put back in GPO policy processing - changed respective

[ActiveDir] Admin Share access for Non-Admins

Security Guru question... I read somewhere...don't know where, that it is possible to grant a power-user or otherwise non-admin the ability to access administrative shares such as admin$, c$,...etc. I believe that this is possible as of Windows 2003 and possibly Windows 2000. I'm in a situation

[ActiveDir] Tivoli Gateway on Windows 2003 DC - BAD?

Looking for some guidance / help... Our Enterprise Systems Management Group is in the process or rolling out Tivoli to all locations. It doesn't seem logical or best practice, to me, to put such an application on a Windows 2003 DC. When testing TMF 4.1 components on a test Windows 2003 DC,

RE: [ActiveDir] Tivoli Gateway on Windows 2003 DC - BAD?

I completely agree. I just wanted to ensure that I wasn't amiss with disagreeing with putting Tivoli Managed Node components on a W2k3 DC. We're aiming for MOM and its corresponding integration. I've looked at the AD Option provided by Tivoli and am not excited at all. I'm having to write a

[ActiveDir] Active Directory and Other LDAP Integration

All, we are in search of the elusive single sign-on... We are designing/testing pieces of what may become a multi-platform authentication strategy. We've begun with the authentication integration with IBM's Websphere. While we've been successful in its integration (having Websphere on a

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory and Other LDAP Integration

Thanks all for the feedback. We are a very centralized shop as well (and seem to be on a company buying spree...). The Enterprise Security team really wants to make AD the strategic direction for authentication strategy as well part of a staged user provisioning and automation mechanism.

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory and Other LDAP Integration

No, MIIS is not being used. I don't believe that the Security Group reviewed the product. They are about to pilot/implement CA Enterprise Admin. Like MIIS, it has hooks into some of the major LDAPs and is supposed to be very scriptable. In fact, although they have an AD integration piece,

Thanks, but that's the one for Windows2000. I just saw a post on Microsoft's AD newsgroup. Microsoft (Jason Robarts) states that they are having a problem with the download site and are working to fix it. Jason Robarts is the MSFT person that originally posted the link on MSFT's AD related

Re: [ActiveDir] Domain clients hangs before logon, multiple issues

The problem may not necessarily be configuration related. Are there any startup scripts? More specifically, are there any settings that require/force the respective machines to connect to any specific network hosts. I'm wondering if the problem may relate to the inconsistently consistent

[ActiveDir] Revising Site Design

Hello All, I'm revising our global site design, to further reduce DCs and get more efficient use of bandwidth. I'm finding that we have a number of physical sites that do not necessarily have enough users to constitute a DC and who also have high-speed connections to multiple other locations

Re: [ActiveDir] Event Log monitoring tools

Using WMI to write scripts to monitor servers, specifically event logs works extremely well. I did just that with WMI at our company. I went as far as to script out the permanent monitoring of processes, processor, memory, disk, various eventlog combinations, and various filesystem details. Your

Maximum pagefile size is not 4GB. The limit for a manually configured pagefile is 4GB. When set to System Managed, the page file(s) will be whatever the server needs. You 'must' use the setting of system managed to accommodate servers with more that this amount of memory. Otherwise the
