Domain controllers replication issue

$

0

Hi,

I have two domain controller that they have been working for about two years. Also, I had another domain controller that had problem and I've disconnected that from the network. And I cleanup that metadata's from other DCs. Yesterday for some changes I turned off the domain controllers and after powering those on I saw that additional dc cannot see primary dc. Here is the error I got:

Active Directory Domain Services was unable to establish a connection with the global catalog. 
Additional Data 
Error value:
8430 The directory service encountered an internal failure. 
Internal ID:
3200db0 
User Action: 
Make sure a global catalog is available in the forest, and is reachable from this domain controller. You may use the nltest utility to diagnose this problem.
 

I can ping the domain controllers but I cannot access to shared folders on them. Therefore, I was forced to remove DNS server and re-install it again. Here is the DCDIAG result:

Active Directory Domain Services could not resolve the following DNS host name of the source domain controller to an IP address. This error prevents additions, deletions and changes in Active Directory Domain Services from replicating between one or more domain controllers in the forest. Security groups, group policy, users and computers and their passwords will be inconsistent between domain controllers until this error is resolved, potentially affecting logon authentication and access to network resources. 
Source domain controller: 
 SRV2 
Failing DNS host name: 
 352c21fa-a86d-4fc7-9a2b-a93345b5410d._msdcs.rsz.local 
NOTE: By default, only up to 10 DNS failures are shown for any given 12 hour period, even if more than 10 failures occur.  To log all individual failure events, set the following diagnostics registry value to 1: 
Registry Path: 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Diagnostics\22 DS RPC Client 
User Action: 
 1) If the source domain controller is no longer functioning or its operating system has been reinstalled with a different computer name or NTDSDSA object GUID, remove the source domain controller's metadata with ntdsutil.exe, using the steps outlined in MSKB article 216498. 
 2) Confirm that the source domain controller is running Active Directory Domain Services and is accessible on the network by typing "net view \\<source DC name>" or "ping <source DC name>". 
 3) Verify that the source domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, and that the source domain controller's host record and CNAME record are correctly registered, using the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE available on http://www.microsoft.com/dns 
  dcdiag /test:dns 
 4) Verify that this destination domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, by running the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE command on the console of the destination domain controller, as follows: 
  dcdiag /test:dns 
 5) For further analysis of DNS error failures see KB 824449:

Chrome Single Sign on not working correctly.

$

Hi Everyone 

I have an odd one for you all. 

we migrated to O365 for SharePoint and Outook however the new core Corporate  system was designed for Chrome so this has become the default browser for most users.

This has lead to the following issue

when users on the corporate network try to sign into the corporate sharepoint for there are prompted to select there user name from the list it then signs them as expected.

Are getting a lot of complaints about this as we have moved our corporate intranet to sharepoint and this opens when chrome opens so users are getting prompted 2 or3 times a day.

we thought adding Chrome to WIA would work but this hasn't resolved the issue.

(worth noting we have found a work around if I sign the user in on an external network they get the "do you want to reduce the number of times you sign in" prompt if you click yes this caches the token and they no longer get prompted externally or on the corporate network. for is it's ideal as I have 2,500 desktop users with no access to an external network) 

so I need a method of either fixing chrome of forcing the reduce sign-ins prompt for all users. 

Thanks in Advance

Hi!
I have tested migration win2003r2 active directory domain to win 2012r2. Everything works fine, until i promoted 2012 server as domain controller. First time server boot's up and server manager shows 1 error.. software protection service won't start because it cant ..says access denied. After one more restart, sever go crazy and shows up 6 services that won't start. software protection, dps, user access logging, dhcp client, ip helper and network location awerness. Does anybody knows why this happen????.. after i add network and local services to local admin group, everything works fine except dps..for dps to work i have to enter regedit and manually add permissions for service. My second question is.. is it safe for active directory controller to add all network and local services to localadmin group.. what about viruses, ransomware and other malicious software who can use that permission??.. please help ...if anyone knows something.. 

Event ID 4 with replication and authentication failures

$
0
0

We have a Windows Server 2012R2 domain controller which generates the error below when attempting to connect to a working domain controller in AD:

The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server server$. The target name used was ldap/server.domain.local. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Ensure that the target SPN is only registered on the account used by the server. This error can also happen if the target service account password is different than what is configured on the Kerberos Key Distribution Center for that target service. Ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both configured to use the same password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (domain.LOCAL) is different from the client domain (domain.LOCAL), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.

Site replication is configured to a domain controller which generates the above error when it tries to establish a connection. This is resulting in replication not succeeding. The DC can connect to certain other DCs and not to others.

Repadmin /showreps generates:

******* 1 CONSECUTIVE FAILURES
Last error: 1396 (0x574):
            The target account name is incorrect.

Naming Context: DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local
******* WARNING: KCC could not add this REPLICA LINK due to error.

This is also resulting in file share authentication failures to a second trusted domain.

Primary domain authentication for users is successful.

I've reset the faulty DC's computer account by running:

net stop kdc
klist purge
netdom resetpwd /server:workingDC.domain.local /userD:domain.local\DomainAdministrator/passwordD:*
net start kdc

That made no difference. 

I also started to build a second domain controller for the site, but when selecting the DC to replicate with during the promotion phase, the same errors appear as above, which led me to believe having a second DC wouldn't make a difference.

Any tips would be appreciated :/


Multi-Forest Domains and DNS Lookup

I am literally beating my head against a wall right now. 


I have two forest domains with a cross forest trust. The issue is if Server A belongs to Domain A and tries to do a lookup on an IP in Domain B it will not resolve. So I put in conditional forwarders for two servers in Domain B, still not fixed. 


How are people doing this? Am I going to have to make manual records in reverse lookup conditional forwarders for this to work?

Sending Windows Events to a Linux Syslog Server

$

I am trying to configure Windows Domain Controllers to send all events to a Linux syslog server (syslog-ng). Configured the Subscription Manager group policy to point to the URL of the syslog server to port 5985. But it is not working... have tried entering the Root and Intermediate thumbprint in the value of the subscription manger connection string.

Getting this error in the Event Viewer "Eventlog-ForwardingPlugin" 

The forwarder is having a problem communicating with subscription manager at address http://xxxxxxxx-xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxns:f="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsmanfault" Code="2150859027" Machine="XXXXXXXX.xxxxxxxx.com"><f:Message>The WinRM client sent a request to an HTTP server and got a response saying the requested HTTP URL was not available. This is usually returned by a HTTP server that does not support the WS-Management protocol. </f:Message></f:WSManFault>.

Somehow, I don't think it is a certificate issue at this point.

AADConnect User & Resource Forest Sync

User Forest: users.com (1000 enabled users)

Resource Forrest: resources.com (200 enabled users, 800 linked mailboxes)

I need to sync (and merge) to Azure AD for Office 365.

AADConnect Import Rules Precedence should be:

P1: User Join (users.com) - source of authority
P2: User Join (resources.com)
P3: User Exchange (resources.com) - contains correct Exchange attributes
P4: User Exchange (users.com)

I need to also ensure Mail and Proxy attributes only come from Resource forest and aren't overwritten.

1. Can I simply set:

P5: User Common (resources.com)
P6: User Common (users.com)


My concern here is that UPN would come from resources.com instead of users.com (it is a User Common attribute).

2. Or do I simply remove the Mail and Proxy Attributes from User Common (users.com).

Hi

We are in the process of hardening Windows 2016 Domain Controllers. What are the precautions that we need to take before applying the setting Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)' is set to Enabled. Do we need to configure server side as well if we enable the client settings : -Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always) is set to Enabled.

Thanks in advance

I've been trying to figure out the differences between testa01 (success) and testa02 (failure) and it looks testa02 doesn't have Kerberos setup properly.

 

In testa01 when I visit jenkins.factset.com(or is.factset.com) as svc-hudson I am authenticated properly. However, in testa02 I get prompted for credentials.

 

I can also see Kerberos errors in the event viewer after enabling Kerbros vent logging in testa02.

kindly let us know to resolve the issue.

We are receiving Event 3 Security-kerberos continuously in logs.

Hi

I have some question on Active Directory Certificate Service:

Currently, we have a Hierarchy PKI in our organization the Root of which use Microsoft Server 2003 Service. Now we want to migrate and make another parallel Hierarchy and using Windows Server 2016 service in the new root CA. But we want to set up an interoperability relationship between these two hierarchies. Thinking on using CTL or One-way Cross-Certification,  we are not sure which one is more suitable for our situation. What is your suggestion?

My other question is about to include Extended Validation and Friendly Name Properties in my new Standalone Root CA's certificate which will be set up on windows server 2016. We have tried different ways to include these properties by use of CApolicy.inf, but we have not made any progress till now. Could you please help us and tell me how we can do this?
