Hi
We have setup AD DS and apply GPO.
Users systems are joined to domain also.
There are some application like IIS which are currently running as administrator.
I dont want to run IIS or like applicatiions as administrator.
How I create a GPO so that domain users can run these type of applications without administrator rights.
Also I don't want to give users Domain Admin rights.
Hello,
I have been getting an error when joining new Windows 10 computers to our domain (for this post let's call it "company.local"): "Changing the primary domain dns name of this computer to "" failed. The name will remain "company.local". The error was: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
it was addressed in an blog post
Saying that this used to be a bug with a hotfix for Windows 7.
Is the bug back in Windows 10?
Thanks for your time!

Hi
I have setup a new AD Site in Azure to authenticate O365 users via ADFS. There are 1 DC, 2 ADFS servers and 2 WAPs. It doesn't matter the fact the servers are in Azure. There is VPN connecting to the on premises netowrk with the rest of DCs holding the FSMO roles.
The point of having this in Azure is to ensure ADFS still works in the event of disaster in our HQ. The thing is that when the VPN goes down, ADFS only works for a few hours and even the DC stops working. The DC is GC and has localhost as primary DNS server. So it does ADFS servers and I am sure they use the closest DC to authenticate.
I checked the tombstone lifetime and it is not set. So I don't know why the DC stops authenticating. Any clue?
Hello,
Is there any advantages or Recommendations for implementing Bastion Forest without Using PAM Tools?
Is it recommended to have this Isolated Environment for authentication for all Systems Administrators <Tiers Model> Taking in Considerations bellow Technologies:
Windows Server 2016 Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
Jump Servers in Bastion Forest Used for all Interventions in Productions Environment (SCCM,SCOM,SQL,etc..)
MFA for Jump Servers.
PAW for Tier 0 Admins
Credential Guard in Jump Servers
AppLocker
LAPS
Security Compliance Manager (SCM),
Thank You
On one of our servers, somebody (who probably only was supposed to install the AD Management Tools), instead decided to install the AD DS Role on one of our Windows Server 2016 boxes!
At the moment, it displays (in Server Manager):
"Post-deployment Configuration:
Configuration required for Active Direct Domain Services at <servername>
Promote this server to a domain controller"
Can we just remove the AD DS Role, or do we have to continue with the promotion to a DC and then demote it afterwards?
Many thanks.
As the subject line suggests, when I enter the list of Forwarders under the domain controller "properties" the list stays there for about 20 minutes and then disappears. The list of Forwarders on my secondary DNS server (secondary as that as how it is assigned to domain PCs via DHCP) remain in tact.
This is causing lookup requests that run through the PDC emulator to timeout. I'm looking for hints on if this is a common issue and there's a handy blog post about it or if there's a way to troubleshoot what's going on.
Trying to fix the issue with one RODC failing with the below error.

tried, rejoining the computer to domain and retry with no luck. Tried changing the source DC for replication during promotion with no luck. Tried removing all PRP accounts while promoting with no luck. another computer in the same domain , promotion worked perfectly fine. There are no firewalls configured. ANy help appreciated.
Hi
I have a problem with a domain that gave me a few time:
If I use the original account of "Administrator", I can shutdown and restart all the servers in the enterprise and also I can see and modify all the user's properties in the AD, but if I made a new user copying the original administrator account, the new user can not shutdown nor restart the servers, and also many properties of the users cannot be manageable.
If I check the new administrator, he is in the "Domain Admins" group so he must be the administrator and have all the power to see and do things in the domain.
I'm sure that the previous admin move some policy or other thing, but I don't know where to start to fix this, because I've done the same with other new users and the result is the same...
any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

So I know the port requirement for DFSR for 2008/R2 DCs is 5722. The question is not about port number.
I have a DC in DMZ, the rest on internal network
DMZ DC and one of the internal DCs are purposely placed on 2 dedicated sites that have least cost so AD replication always happens between these 2 DCs . Now do I open port 5722 between only these 2 DCs, or I have to open port between DMZDC to/from all other DCs?
How does DFSR works for SYSVOL - how does it select replication partners? Does it follow AD sites topology? I can't find this info anywhere.
Because SYSVOL replication group doesn't allow me to customize much, is it possible to restrict DFSR traffic between certain DCs (from DMZ DC point of view), I want to open firewall ports to as few internal servers as possible. AD replication is working
fine with my current setup, I hope that DFSR will follow same route.
Hi,
Is there a way to find out when a domain controller was changed to host a global catalog?
Thank you

Hey DS Gurus!
I have a requirement from our Security department to create a Penalty Box OU that will be used to quarantine machines that may have been compromised by a virus or malware. The objective would then be to restrict network access for devices in that OU to only be able to communicate with select apps. The second objective is that the background/wallpaper of the machine should change to a .GIF or some sort of banner to instruct the owner to contact the helpdesk.
I have never done this before so looking for guidance on how to best accomplish the above. I've been doing some Googling but so far haven't found much help on this topic.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I recently deleted my user account from ADUC and recreated it (with the same user name). The Group Policy should automatically map the drives, and it did, for one of them. When I look at a GP result it tells me that all of the drive mappings were a success. I tried manually mapping the drives but I get an error, "The network folder specified is currently mapped to a different user name and password...first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share." I have a hunch it's my old account that's blocking me.
A few things to note:
- All 3 folders I'm attempting to connect to (including the one that is successful) on are the exact same file server.
- Running the net use command I only see a connection to the one share that's currently visible
- I went to the "C:...AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Network Shortcuts" folder on my old account to make sure there wasn't anything listed.
-WMIC useraccount get name,sid verifies that the old SID isn't lingering around on the domain
- The old account wasn't deleted from the computer prior to making the new one so under users I now show as [username.domain] rather than just username.
Do I need to completely delete the user account from the C: of the local machine or is there some way to view/manage mappings from the File Server itself?

How can I resolve this problem. Last time LastLogonDate is showing. I need to check who last logon over 90days.
Search-ADAccount -UsersOnly -SearchBase "ou=Users,ou=bo,dc=dat,dc=com" -AccountIna -TimeSpan 90
I have a user who will be away for a while. I don't want to disable his account but want to disable his account to login to the domain. How to do it? I created a group, added his account to the group and created a GPO for "deny local logon" to the group. But my tests with his account can still login. Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
