Migrating to new AD Domain

$
0
0

Currently I have domain1.com and that of course is the root forest domain. We do not own domain1.com but do have domain2.com registered on the internet and is what we use for our public website. I would like to move to internal.domain2.com as our FQDN internally as advised by many best practices to use a registered domain name in this manner. My question is should I be creating a completely new forest with this domain or can I add this as a new Tree domain to my current root forest of domain1.com when I will eventually demote any DC's that are running domain1.com. Or will I not need any domain controllers always running in the domain1.com even though it is the root forest domain?

Hopefully someone can add some clarification to this for me.

2008 R2 Domain Controller Issue

$
0
0

I have a single Domain Controller 2008 R2 and yesterday I added a new account.  Afterwards the user was unable to change their password getting the error<o:p></o:p>

"Mutual authentication failed. The server's password is out of date at the domain controller"

Then I couldn't access linux hosted network drives getting the error that the DC had been blacklisted.  Furthermore, GPO's are no longer updating getting a evt 1006 error.  And anyone trying to change their password now gets the same error.

I have reset Kerberos and the DC Administrator account as well as restarted it and related services with no success.  I'm completely clueless as to what could have happened.  The server has not undergone any changes in the last 4 weeks with the exception of adding that one account.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Delegate password reset for domain admins

Hi All, 

I am trying to delegate permissions for an account to reset domain admin passwords.  I have tried unsuccessfully using dsacls "CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=local" /G "test\user\:CA;Reset Password;user" /I:S.  I'm not sure I'm using this right and I'm not even sure that using dsacls is still supported in server 2016. 

Any insight is appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Allow a domain user to disable domain admin accounts

We use a service account (Domain User) to disable all user accounts using delegation permissions on OU level. This accounts is however unable to disable the Domain admins and get permissions denied. We tried following the below article (Method 3) and gave permissions to this service account using "Descendant User objects" and selected the option to Read & Write User account control . Article suggest to use 'This object only' and give permissions to 'Read - Write all properties' but we want to give permissions only for 'Read & Write UserAccountControl'. Any suggestions.

Making the EmployeeID attribute indexed and unique.

$

We have servers that query our Active Directory for the unindexed EmployeeID attribute.  Since it's unindexed we have to query each of our five domains individually when the domain that may contain the object is unknow.  

I'd like to make the EmployeeID indexed (So it will be in the GC) and unique to avoid duplicate values.  My systems team is telling me that this should not be done because of negative impacts to our directory services. We have a total of 5190 Users, contacts and groups across the 5 domains.  I can't see this one change causing an unacceptable or even noticeable impact.  Is there any documentation or real world example I can site to support my belief?

How to create Active Directory Trusts: "Realm" and "Shortcut"???

$

Hello,

I'd like to know how to create 2 types of trusts: Realm and Shortcut. Every article on the web touches on how to create forest or external trusts- oodles of them, but none tells how to build those remaining 2.

external and forest trust

This is "standard" screen you get when trying to establish trust-only 2 types there. On the web I found this screenshot:

realm trust

but God only knows how to get it. Where is the shortcut/real trust option?

Anyone?

pwdLastSet attribute blank on AD user objects

$

Hello all,

I have a situation where, I have user objects in Active Directory that do not have passwords set, Attribute = pwdLastSet. The user object is not disabled either.

What factors would allow an object to have this criteria, pwdLastSet = blank and the user object not disabled? My understanding is if a user object has no password it should be disabled, especially if password complexity is set, which it is in my environment.

thank you in advance for your assistance on this question.

Event 4625 Destination Information Missing

$
0
0
Hello! I noticed that my Domain Controller logs for Event 4625 (An account failed to logon) only gives me the source information. Should my DCs be recording the source AND destination for Event 4625? For example, if I attempt to access a remote file share, or RDP to a remote system, etc. should the 4625 log on the DC show both my IP address and the remote system I failed to connect to?

Domain Controller Sync Issues

$
0
0

I will apologize in advance as this is a somewhat confusing situation with a bunch of back story.  I will try to relay only relevant information.

We have 3 DCs in our parent domain, all 3 are physical servers and are (now) in the same physical location.  We also have 1 VM in the cloud (Rackspace) which is the solo DC in our child domain.  

For illustrative purposes, the DC's are as follows:

Physical DC's

  • NRLHOURDC01
  • NRLHOUDC03
  • NRLHOUDC04

Virtual DC hosted in cloud

  • NINAHOUDC02 (We previously had NINAHOUDC01 as our Virtual DC but ran into issues and ended up having to prop up another DC to demote that one....long story)

All 3 of the physical DC's have FSMO roles set to DC04.

NINAHOUDC02 FSMO roles are set as follows:

  • Schema Master: NRLHOUDC03
  • Domain Naming Master: NRLHOUDC03
  • PDC: NINAHOUDC01
  • RID Pool Manager: NINAHOUDC01
  • Infrastructure Manager: NINAHOUDC01

When I try to set the FSMO roles for NINAHOUDC02 to NRLHOUDC04, I run into errors:

  • Binding to NRLHOUDC04 ...
    DsBindWithSpnExW error 0x80090350(The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request. Please try again later.)
    ldap_search for attribute supportedCapabilities failed with 0x59(89 (Parameter Error).

AD Sites and Services is different on every single DC and I don't see all servers on any of the sites and services consoles.  There are 4 sites: 1900STJAMES, 2506WMAIN, 4400, RACKSPACE.  Our 2 old locations were 1900STJAMES (which housed NRLHOUDC03 and NRLHOUDC04)  and 2506WMAIN (which housed NRLHOURDC01).  I created 4400 when we moved to our new office, which we are currently in, and moved all of the DC's into that site thinking that as long as I added the correct subnet, everything would fall into place.  It didn't.

I've also run repadmin /replsum on each DC

I've been troubleshooting this on and off for the past month or so and plan to do some heavy configuration changes this weekend but I don't know if I need to just start demoting DC's, clearing metadata and then re promoting or if there is an easier way to force the DC's to see each other.

I am building a standalone adfs server to connect CRM which is hosted by Microsoft. The problem I'm having is whenever I go to https://example.mycompany.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/ I receive 404 and 500 errors. However I can sign in and out of this url just fine https://example.mycompany.com/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx. I am using a the same wild card cert for the service communication and token signing my token decrypting cert is a self signed one. Also I have noticed the below error in my event viewer. Also the account that I'm using for the adfs service has read access to all the certs and has full access on the WIF database. Any help would be much appreciated. Also I can access  these two urls just fine https://example.mycompany.com/adfs/fs/Federationserverservice.asmx

Missing GPO Settings in RSOP - Folder Redirection

$
0
0

I'm scratching my head on this. I have a GPO that configures folder redirection as well as a logon/logoff script. I have a security filter on the GPO based on a user's group membership. When a user logs into a machine for the first time, they get all of the settings from the GPO except for the folder redirection. When I run a gpresult /h I don't see the folder redirection policies but I see all of the other settings from the policy in the RSOP. Now the kicker is this is only on some machines that this problem occurs. On other machines the folder redirection policies are present in RSOP.

Any idea? I don't get it.. See picture below from RSOP output:
