Hi everybody. I have done a user migration in ADMT. I have run the security translation for that user as well. That user is configured
to run a scheduled task on a workstation. Does the security translation takes the scheduled task into context and change it to the target domain migrated when I run the security translation on that workstation or server.

Replacing Dead Domain Controller
I will be resetting the computer account of a dead domain controller in active directory and replace it with another computer with the same OS, IP, name. The goal is to decommission the server and remove it from AD entirely.
Is there anything I need to do besides the following?
- Reset computer account in AD
- Join new computer to domain.
- Promote to DC.
- Demote DC.
- Remove from domain.
Thanks!

Remove on-prem AD and go full cloud
Dear all,
I have a scenario which is for a small network and AD is hybrid with Azure AD. The business has moved more services to Microsoft cloud, for example SharePoint and Exchange Online. The business want to go all in cloud and just consume SaaS and PaaS with Azure AD as the identity and management service.
I get most of the consideration and limitations with (going from AD with Azure AD Connect synchronising to Azure AD to just Azure AD).
Azure AD is an extension of AD and one can say it is an identity manage for Azure and does not support any legacy protocols. But if the business will not miss any of the functionality of AD I would like to learn if anyone else is doing this.

Seizing FSMO Roles after PDC crash
Good afternoon,
I had a PDC on a windows server 2008 32 bit go down after I added a Windows Server 2012 Essentials DC server as a backup. The server is toast and not coming back so I performed the Seizing FSMO Roles steps and they appear to have completed successfully. However there are no logon servers available, there is no net logon share on the new DC and the following visible errors are recored using DCDIAG: Launching ADUC give the error Naming Information cannot be located because the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

_msdcs deligation folder security tab error
Hello,
I keep seeing that the security tab for the _msdcs delegation folder will not show security items. Rather show a red 'X' with message "The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be displayed".
This is a brand new domain controller in a new forest, and the only thing that has been done is to setup secondary zones on servers on in another forest and made an outgoing trust from this forest to another.
Anyone else see this, is this normal?
Thanks

Forest / Domain split into 2 seperate entities
A part of our current company is split off and will start operating on its own. It has been agreed upon to split the current forest into 2 separate entities that will continue operating independently.
There will be no network connectivity between the 2 companies anymore.
I know this is not supported by MS, but it has been decided nonetheless for various reasons.
Does anyone have experience with this scenario? What would be the high-level steps to accomplish this? Any critical steps we definitely should not overlook?

Changing IP address of 2 DCs
Hi,
I have a single domain in 2 sites with 2 DCs each: DC1 and DC2 in Site1 and DC3 and DC4 in Site2. Both sites are in different subnets.
I am required to change the subnet in Site1 which means changing the IP addresses of DC1 and DC2.
- DC1 is a DHCP and DNS server
- DC2 is a DNS server
- DC1 uses DC2 as its primary DNS server, and itself as the secondary
- DC2 uses DC1 as its primary DNS server, and itself as the secondary
I'm wondering what the right order to do things is.
Does this seem right?:
1. Change IP + Gateway + DNS servers of DC1
2. Run "ipconfig /flushdns", "ipconfig /registerdns", and "dcdiag /fix"
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for DC2
Is this all I need to do? I don't need to touch any of the static DNS records of the DCs right? Will replication from DC 3/4 in Site2 work properly?
I already know I have to create a new DHCP scope, I created a new reverse zone in the DNS, and I added the new subnet in Sites and Services.
Thanks

RODC in DMZ Client Issue
I have a new RODC in a DMZ. The RODC has all the ports required open to a RWDC which is on a secure network.
The RODC has it's own site, the DMZ IP address is assigned to that site is Sites and Services - I can logon to the RODC without issue and there are no errors, replication is also working correctly.
When I move a client machine onto the DMZ network (DNS is updated etc so the IP address is correct record) and written to the RODC, I am having problems with authentication. I log into the client, but it's using the cached account, and from what I can see the client is not using the RODC at all - The RODC is the only DNS server specified in the clients DNS settings.
Users without a cached account are unable to logon, even if they have their password replicated to the RODC. NLA is incorrectly detecting the network as non-Domain. If I try and list a domain group, I only see the option for the local machines - as if it's completely ignoring the RODC.
The clients have no ports open to the RWDC, all traffic should flow via the RODC.
All systems are Server 2016.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

DFSR Migration Stuck
A few weeks ago the domain controllers in our Lab domain was attempted to be migrated from FRS to DFS. The domain is at Windows 2008 R2 functionality level and the DC's are on Windows 2019. When the migration was initiated with Dfrsmig this error appeared every 5 minutes when it tries to migrate SYSVOL:
DFSR was unable to copy the contents of the SYSVOL share located at C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain to the SYSVOL_DFSR folder located at C:\Windows\SYSVOL_DFSR\domain. This could be due to<g class="gr_ gr_222 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="222" id="222">lack</g> of availability of disk space or due to sharing violations.
Additional Information:
Sysvol NTFRS folder: C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain
Sysvol DFSR folder: C:\Windows\SYSVOL_DFSR\domain
Error: 367 (The process creation has been blocked.)
Replication between the two domain controllers <g class="gr_ gr_265 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="265" id="265">were</g> working without any issues. I've tried just about everything to fix the problem, adjusting permissions on the folders, running the Robocopy command manually (which did copy all the folders and files without error), deleting all GPO's not being used, running DCGPOFIX, removing all DC's except one, even performing a System State restore to a new DC (with an auth restore of AD and Sysvol). Rolling back the migration and starting again.<g class="gr_ gr_1532 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1532" id="1532">Nothing</g> has corrected the issue.

GPO Automatic Archive
Hello,
I have set up a GPO for automatic archiving using admx outlook 2013. GPO works but I have some points that I have not understood:
- I fixed the option "Clean items older than 3 months" -> Items in the inbox are moved to the inbox of the archive except that at the level of the main inbox the elements of the date February and March 2018 are displayed !!
- The archive file is named archive.pst -> Is there a way to rename it? because on user computers there are already archives with the same name and when launching automatic archiving, they will be overwritten.
Thank you for your help.

ADMT Service Account Migration
Have to migrate a lot of servers from one domain to another over an extended time period. On each server, there are services running with the same domain user account. Have read the ADMT Migration guide and https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/admt-series-6-service-account-migration-wizard.html, but can not find an answer to the following scenario.
1. Run the ADMT Service account translation wizard, specify server1 and <olddomain>account1 which is used for the service.
2. Run the ADMT User Migration Wizard and migrate <olddomain>\account 1. This procedure works without any problem. The <olddomain>\account 1 is migrated to the new domain, and ADMT then presents the option to change the SC entry of server1 from<olddomain>\account1 to <newdomain>\account1. This also works fine.
3. After some time, I run the ADNT Service account translation wizard again and specify server2. Server2 has services which run under the same account <olddomain>\account1.
4. Here the problem starts. When running the ADMT user Migration Wizard again and choose the already migrated <olddomain>\account1 and specify the option "do not migrate source object if target object already exists", ADMT stops at this moment and doesn't offer the option to change the SC entry of server2 from <olddomain>\account1 to <newdomain>\account1.
What is the correct procedure to change the SC service entries on all servers with ADMT? We do not want to touch existing servers and change service accounts a long time before the migration. And we do not want to migrate the <olddomain\account1> again to the new domain. Because ADMT does not migrate passwords for service accounts, we had manually set the password of <newdomain>\account1 after ADMT has migrated this user.
Thank you all in advance for any helpFranz
