Is there way to retrieve a log file (NOT THE LOGS AVAILABLE in MIIS client) which stores the attributes that were updated in the last synchronization.
We had a strange incident wherein a shared mailbox got converted into a user mailbox and none of the admins were aware of the same.
We are looking to retrieve the information as to when did this happen.
Hi,
I am getting the below netlogon error in some servers and the application services are getting restarting in those servers.
Netlogon error 5719
This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain due to the following:
The remote procedure call was cancelled.
5783
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\domain.com for the domain is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\machinename to \\domain.com has been cancelled.
When i checked the domain controller (PDC role) i can see that the below error in event viewer 5805 stating
"The session setup from the computer MachineName failed to authenticate. The following error occurred: Access is denied."
This was started happening recently only. And the replication between domain controllers are working fine showing no errors..
Could any one please help.

Anu
Hello,
I have a working script to export all computers and their OS, but I need to break the list down by OU for budgeting purposes. Each OU is a different company basically so we can allot so much money per company for upgrading the OS.
Is this possible or do you have to export separate lists by OU one at a time?
Thanks,
Matt
Hi there,
Let me start from the beginning, last month my DNS server stopped, and I fixed that by using netdom resetpwd command. Since then, a lot of error occurs such as:
1. The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the following directory partition.
2. The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server.
Could you kindly help me guys, I am really out of idea what changed?
Kindly advise. Thanks.
Hi,
Greeting of the Day!
I need help for below Powershell command, How to Delete Multiple Users from specific OU through CSV from AD

C:\users.csv | Foreach-Object
{Remove-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Confirm:$False }how i can specify OU?
thanks for your support :)
Dear technet community:
I need to fetch active directory accounts that have changed since a certain time.
In doing so, I run queries against whenCreated and whenChanged such as:
(whenCreated>=20190219174130.0Z)or here would be a Get-ADUser command:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties whenCreated | Where-Object {$_.whenCreated -ge ((Get-Date).AddDays(1)).Date}
On my test server, this was fine worked great.My production active directory has about 210,000 users in it, about 80,000 groups.
Now this query hangs very badly. It seems like it's doing a linear pass through the entire AD.
Shouldn't active directory has an index created on this value so it can be queried very quickly? Is there some trick to making this indexed better?
I am facing domain account lockout the issue and I am stuck in troubleshooting.
According to below link, I am able to find our problematic domain controller but unable to find event id 4625 on the caller computer name

Hi,
We are having problems to reset expired passwords on RDWEB.
I have an exisiting topic on the forum here about it:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f43f548d-1921-401d-8ff0-5f5979411c0e/expired-password-reset-option-rdweb-2012r2?forum=winserverTS
We dont found a solution yet and we think the issue is with the existing trust relationship between the 2 domains. My RD collection is on another domain then the users that login to it.
The trust between the domains is an external one, maybe to make this work we need to change it to an transistive trust?
However 100's of users are working on this enviroment. We dont want to break it.
Is it safe to change a trust relationship from external to transistive without breaking things? Could this be the solution for the problems we are experiencing?
Thanks,
Hi
I have a Windows 2012 DC with ADDS running.
Whenever a user change his / her password from Ctrl+ALT+DEL option from their machine, it is not updating to the server and works only with old password. but Exchange outlook / web mail, other services which intergrated with AD works with new password.
What could be wrong? where to check?

Hi I have a question regarding my DFS.
I started DFS replication between 2 servers about a week ago. The sending server has 475GB to send over
The receiving server has a 1TB partition dedicated. I can see that on the receiving server has 344GB used up. When I look inside the folders I see that the entire folder structure is present however everything seems to be empty. When I go to properties of the folder it is telling me only 20GB is used. I was getting a few errors regarding staging quotas that were set too low. I ran 2 commands which told me that the recommended size was to be 71GB which I set it to.
So I am trying to understand why I don't see anything in the receiving server yet? Is it simply not finished yet?
If it is not finished how can I see what is going on. I've scoured the Internet to find some kind of tool that can tell me verbosly what the DFS is doing but such a tool does not seem to exist. I am looking for something that says something to the effect of
Sending server is sending XXX file at XXX% or DFS replication is at XXX% complete.
Basically, anything that can give me a little information as to what exactly is going on, there doesn't seem to be much information as to what the DFS is doing, how much bandwidth it is consuming, resources..ETC..
Thanks!
Hello ,
i have worked with many Companies and all of them i found the Audit is not enabled in their Active Directory ! i told is there a reason for that ? any ideas ?
Regards
I seem to be having a problem with my dns, it might not be my only problem, but it is the one i am currently trying to tackle. Sometimes DNS works to connect to computers, some times it doesn't. I ran a DCDiag /test:dns and got the below result. It tells me that all my srv records are missing. When i go into my dns, all my records appear to be in place. DNS in the adapter settings does point to itself.
Other symptoms of my overall problem include:
dcdaig /test:dns; ipconfig /all; netdom query dc; detdom query fsmo; are all below.
Any help or guidance would be vastly appreciated. I've been bashing my head against this for a while now.
Thanks.

Can someone please assist with the following question
I read an a very good blog post here https://blogs.msmvps.com/acefekay/2016/09/21/kerberos-authentication-sequence-across-trusts/
However I am unsure about a couple of things
1) Does the TDO (trusted domain object) that is stored in the GC (copied from the System container in the Domain Partition) contain the 'inter-domain key' (e.g. share secret) for the inter-forest trust which is required to encrypt a TGT for the other forest's KDC
For example in the post above item 3 states for following
3. The KDC in the marketing.trimagna.com then issues the workstation a TGT for the contoso.com domain. This is known as a referral ticket
Therefore I am thinking as the child domain referred to in item 3 'marketing' is not the forest root domain and therefore does not host the forest root trust. Therefore In order to the KDC in the marketing domain to create a TGT for the foreign forest KDC 'contoso.com domain' it would have to encrypt the TGT with a shared secret (inter-domain key) of the forest-trust and the only place I can think a child domain would get this inter-domain key for the inter-forest trust is the GC (global catalogue)
Can someone please verify if my logic is correct please? if not where am I going wrong
Thanks

I'm currently having trouble promoting a server to a domain controller ( windows server 2016 ). I have 2 segment, 1 is 10.101.16.0/24 and the other is 10.101.17.0/24
The domain is on the 16.0 segment, the server that i want to join is on the 17.0 segment. been trying off and on for a week or so to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I perform NSlookup and it can resolve the name.
I did a portqry from the 17 segment to the domain server on 16 segment. the log is below.

I'm wondering if anyone has a way to replicate Active Directory objects from a Win2K12 R2 domain controller in a production environment to a Win2K12 R2 DC in an isolated test environment. It seems the recommendation is to clone a new DC into the TEST environment prior to every use, but I'm trying to avoid having to clone, change IP/DNS, register DNS, and seize FSMO repeatedly. I would like one DC to live in TEST and be updated from another DC (cloned or live) without causing issues in the PROD environment.
I have tried every configuration that I could think of, including the use of the DCCloneConfig.xml. I thought maybe a DC cloned from Prod to Test would successfully pair with the existing DC in Test. Unfortunately it sat at "Domain Controller cloning...2%..." and then rebooted in Safe Mode (even though I'd set the primary DNS to the other DC in Test). I even tried opening ports b/t a RWDC in TEST and an RODC in PROD. They did not replicate, and this likely isn't a good idea from a security standpoint anyway.
If anyone is aware of any way to update a test DC safely I would really appreciate your input. Thank you.
HI, we had a user that had delegated permissions all over Active directory and i need to find out exactly where she has access.
is there an easy way to export a users effective permissions in AD or a script that i can run
thx

Hi all,
We want to migrate our domain controllers (server 2012R2 / DL/FL 2008R2) to server 2019 core DL/FL 2016 and keep the ip addresses but change hostnames.
Reason to keep ip addresses : many devices like printers, scanners, applications have the dns/ldap/... ip addresses manually configured to point to the domain controllers.
Current situation :
Domain controllers A and B with ip address 1 and 2 (A-1, B-2)
A and B have DHCP in failover mode (load balance), DNS, DFS, and ADDS.
C-3 and D-4 are newly installed server 2019 core domain controllers with the same roles but these domaincontrollers should have ip addresses 1 and 2 after the migration. This is our plan :
Any suggestions ?
kind regards
