Hi,
On my Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller this event is logged every 30 seconds in the system log.
Searching on the internet didn't help me to get to a solution. Does someone has experience with this? Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Azure Joined Machines alerting they need to lock and unlock using their password.
I recently added a 2019 DC to a 2008 DC environment. Machines are all Azure joined. After installing the new server, users who use a PIN to sign in now receive an error that they need to lock their machines and sign back in. If they ignore the issue then
nothing happens. If they lock the computer and sign back in then nothing happens as well. The issue does not occur for remote users and is only internal. The server indicates a Kerberos pre-authentication failed error in the security log.

Forest trust validation permissions
Hi,
Does anyone know what the explicit permissions needed for being able to validate a trust? I know you can add to Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins, etc but I would like to be able to give a specific user account the rights just to be able to validate a trust and not access to all of Active Directory.
Kind regards

SSO for applications between multiple domain
Hi All,
One of our customer is having two seperate forests (A & B). Forest A contains applications and 15k users, migrating them forest B is the task going on now. External Trust ( Selective Authentication) is enabled between both the domains. A password management tool has been used to create a duplicate account in Forest B and sync the password of Forest A.
Prior to the migration SSO working for Forest A users and after migrated to Forest B the SSO of application is not working. They have to reenter the credentials once for access the application. is there any approach is available for enable the SSO of migrated users.
Thanks and Regards,

How to set the "Manager can update membership list" on an Active Directory Group from Python?
In Active Directory, you can set a managed by group or user for a group and there is a checkbox in the UI for "Manager can update membership list". I have been able to set a group or user via a Python LDAP library. However, I have not found a way to check that box. Is there a way to do that via LDAP?
Using the ADSI Edit tool, it seems that this is actually a Security Permission and not an Attribute on the Group, so I'm not sure if it's possible. Does anyone know of a way to modify Security Permissions from Python? I've only found references online to do it from Powershell.

LDAP Address book is limited to 2 concurrent user in Outlook 2016
Hi fellows,
I am using Directory Service (LDAP) to access email address contact list in Outlook 2016.
I already create 1 user in AD with Domain Admins privilege for accessing LDAP and successfully query the email address on AD.
But only 2 Outlook users can using this LDAP account, the third Outlook user cannot using same LDAP account. Is there default setting in LDAP only allow 2 concurrent users?
or where can I find the setting for LDAP so I can expand the number of concurrent user to access email address via LDAP.
Any help would appreciated.

LDAP Queries on user accounts
I am currently busy with a new AD structure. Basically moving accounts around, creating, re-naming, and deleting OUs, etc. There are tons of AD accounts that are being used for LDAP queries that have not been documented. Is there a way I can find out which
AD accounts are linked or being used for queries by different applications?

LAPS Implementation Issue
Good day,
For almost 2 weeks I've been trying to implement LAPS in my company's small infrastructure.
I've gone through the steps in the following tutorial:
https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/deploying-microsoft-laps-part-1.html
https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/deploying-microsoft-laps-part-2.html
I'm using 2 computers for testing purposes, one is a virtual machine running Windows 10 and the other a laptop running Windows 7. Here's what I've done so far:
- I extended the computer objects' schema to include the fields needed by LAPS; I then inspected the computer objects corresponding to my 2 tests subjects and verified that these attributed were indeed created.
- I delegated the necessary permissions to the computers through the Set-AdmPwdComputerSelfPermission cmdlet; I then checked the 2 computers' ACE list and verified that write permissions for AdmPwd and write/read permissions for AdmPwdExpirationTime were granted to the SELF trustee.
- I delegated the permissions to read and reset passwords to the domain admins through the Set-AdmPwdReadPasswordPermission and Set-AdmPwdResetPasswordPermission cmdlets; I then verified these permissions through the 2 computers' permission entry lists. (I think this step is unnecessary since domain admins should have these permissions by default)
- I deployed LAPS.msi through GPO and verified that "Local Administrator Password Solution" was present in the 2 computer's Apps and Features list. I also verified that AdmPwd.dll was in the Program Files folder for both computers.
LAPS doesn't seem to work, however. I, as domain administrator, get an empty field whenever I query a computer's password through the UI or through Powershell, and the password's attribute field in the computer objects remain empty. I've read many related posts here in this forum but have not been able to solve this issue.
The DC is running Windows Server 2012 R2 and the domain functional level is 2012 R2.
Do you have any idea on what could be going wrong?
Regards

Migration of FRS to DFSR
Hello all,
I was after a bit of final advise on the following.
We were in the process of moving from FRS to DFSR, which we wanted to do before adding in 2016 DCs.
We have x2 2008 r2 servers and x2 2012 r2 all the health checks etc passed.
My question is after following various guides I cannot find a concrete answer to the following.
We moved to the 'prepared' state a couple months back but due to unconnected things we put a hold on the move. Now we want to finish off i wanted to confirm what the next stage does.
FRS and DFSR has different files now since new scripts policies etc have been created,deleted,edited since the initial movie to the prepared state.
If we run the cmd on the PDC to the redirected state does it copy all the modifications done in frs since to the outdated dfsr folder?
Or do we need to preform one of the following (based on articles i have come across)
mainly robocopy sysvol to get the latest files or revert back to start state and redo the prepared state ?
Thanks for the help!

LDAP server signing requirements
Hi,
As I understand MS will automatically enable the use of signing for LDAP as of March patches, correct ?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-signing-requirement-for-windows
We have an environment today with some old servers windows 2003, 2008 and Windows 7 clients. Is there any Windows applications that will have issues with this ?
I know there could be 3part applications that could have a issue, do you have a link to find out which these applications are ? I have had a link earlier, but cannot find it.
Correct me if i am wrong, but i do not need to have any Certificate Authority configured to enable this signing thing right ?
And If I now would like to test it, is it these to GPO settings that I need to enable ?
Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements
Network Security: LDAP client signing requirements
Thanks for reply!

Active directory domain level encryption
Hey guys , i need help with my Active directory domain lab.
I want to have a folder on my domain that is open for sharing and security for everyone , have a user from a client computer create an encrypted file there .
I can see that it is possible , and that other users cant enter the file even if they are on the same machine.
My issue comes when I want to share the encrypted file with another user , because a simple user from a simple machine cannot have access to domain level certificates , ( or can he? i cannot find even the own user domain level certificate thumb prints) even of his own , which means he cannot share another user with his domain level certificates other than in the way of asking the administrator for him to add the user to the encrypted file sharing.
Is there a way for a user to share a domain level encrypted file on his own? or the only way for him to do that is asking the administrator?
thank you.

What if group policy is not defined, Will the Default access take effect
I have not configured few group policy settings which are having default values. If i leave those policies, will the default settings take affect ? I could also see the default settings when i open local group policy editor but not on Domain GP editor.
Below sample policy FYR.
"
Change the system timeThis user right determines which users and groups can change the time and date on the internal clock of the computer. Users that are assigned this user right can affect the appearance of event logs. If the system time is changed, events that are logged will reflect this new time, not the actual time that the events occurred.
This user right is defined in the Default Domain Controller Group Policy object (GPO) and in the local security policy of workstations and servers.

Active Directory Home folder issue
Hi !
I am working on my domain on active directory , recently created homefolders for all my domain accounts and also blocked access to the folder which contains all the homefolders for the accounts , which means my users have to get inside the homefolder through P: Drive on This PC.
I was wondering if i can make it so they have access to the folder that contains all the users homefolders but only see their own homefolder and not all the bulk homefolders for all the different users?
Would appreciate help finding the best most simple way to do this because i think it will be more ideal for the domain.

GPO not applying to windows 7 clients
a GPO is not applying to windows 7 clients ,creating an issue where users without domain admins cannot administer the clients. We have mixed 2008 R2 and 2016 domain controllers, with functional level 2008. This issue may have been around a long time, we only noticed once we revoked domain admin from some users. The idea was, existing GPOs would give them local admin rights. Unfortunately, the GPO with local admin , is not being applied.
RSOP tool shows it is not being applied.
so found this in the RSOP.

What OID should I use in capolicy.inf
Hi, I am trying to follow several step by step guides to install 2-tier PKI. Some includes c:\windows\capolicy.inf with default OID=1.2.3.4.1455.67089.5 but instructs to change that with my own OID. I have 2 problems here, first one, is that our production environment used to have ADCS installed, then, bad uninstalled and manually cleaned. so when I run:
Get-ADObject ('CN=OID,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,'+(Get-ADRootDSE).configurationNamingContext) -Properties msPKI-Cert-Template-OID
I get: (numbers replaced by x)
DistinguishedName : CN=OID,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=com,DC=ar
msPKI-Cert-Template-OID : 1.3.6.1.x.x.xxx.xx.x.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx
Name : OID
ObjectClass : msPKI-Enterprise-Oid
ObjectGUID : xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Shoul I use the same OID for new RootCA server capolicy.inf file? and what about Subordinate Server?
The OID is the same for Root and subordinate servers?
Other guides not even add the OID parameter in capolicy.inf, so, what is the right choice?
If I need to generate new OID for my new ADCS 2-tier PKI servers where or how I should create that.
Thanks.
