Hi,

This is with regards to Microsoft Advisory:

[VULNERABILITY ADVISORY] Microsoft Security Advisory ADV190023 Microsoft Guidance for Enabling LDAP Channel Binding and LDAP Signing

Thus this mean implement either signing for windows client and servers or implement ldaps?

Applications using ldap are mixed, windows, Linux and other appliance.

Thanks!

"The replication operation was preempted" and DNS unavailable

Hello,

i have promote new domain controller, now it almost 6 hour after it first reboot for complete promotion. I noticed got three issue:

1. Error opening DNS  on new promotion server" Server could not be contacted. Error: DNS service is unavailable".

2. When im run repadmin /showrepl it show (got few delay result) + few success result:

==== INBOUND NEIGHBORS ======================================

DC=mydomain,DC=com
    siteB\MN01SRV001 via RPC
        DSA object GUID: ddd6d4f4-c37a-47cd-8a03-29573d5cc203
        Last attempt @ 2020-01-08 23:43:04 was delayed for a normal reason, result 8418 (0x20e2):

3. When im repadmin /replsummary "The replication operation was preempted"

Based on above error, im wonder whether it because of replication not yet been completed or im getting "real" issue on this? for additional info, when im run repadmin /queue i can see few replication on queue. This server also got few replication partner. So should i just leave it and keep monitor or need to demote and promote again. 

Thanks

Hi everyone

after we created Active directory and joined computers to domain through internet (vpn connection) , printing on those computers take so long time to print by POS application (about 15 min) 

it looks like this app browse for printers before printing 
if that is right , is there anyway to prevent it to look for printer in Ad , and if not , what could be caused this delay problem ?

DCPromo - Demoting a DC gives error - Could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition

$

Could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition DC=ForestDNSZones, DC=domain, DC=local to Active Directory Domain Controller \\DC.domain.local

"The directory service is missing mandatory configuration information, and is unable to determine the ownership of floating single-master operation roles".

I've followed a couple articles, and in ADSI edit, I changed the "fSMORoleOwner" attribute on these 3 Connection points to be the current operational master:

CN=Infrastructure,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local
DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local
DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local

Originally the infrastructure connection showed a "deleted" DC, with the "0ADEL:####:#####:###:####" prepended to the DC I'm actually trying to demote.  I have 4 DC's, and I've made these changes on the Operational Masters.  

I'm still getting the error though when I try to demote the DC, although active DC listed in the error changes depending on what DC I set to the fSMORoleOwner (I tried both my PDC owner and RID/Infrastructure Owners).

Any ideas?

Good Morning,


After removing a group which was mistakenly added to Administrators users on that group cannot log-in to the Domain and are getting the above error .

The workaround is to have them Disconnnect from the network (Wi-Fi)Log-in to the machine then connect to the Network.

Please can you assist with a permanent solution as we cannot have these users as Administrators.

How to manage the DOMAIN\LOCALADMIN account on a Domain Controller

$

0

Everyone, 

I have recently implemented LAPS across a domain for automatically changing the local admin account password on client devices. I have a question about the DOMAIN\Local Admin account on the Domain Controller. How should one go about managing that account's password? Is there a way to get LAPS to change the domain local admin account password? Is there another solution? 

I have a max password age of 60 days and I don't want that account to get locked. If password changes for that account are handled manually, how do you all handle it?

Thank you for any help!

DNS _sites shows entries of demoted sites and DCs

$
0
0

Hi all,

I've demoted several 2003 Servers during the last few months in our customer AD, moved subnets and succesfully deleted sites under ADSS.

So far, so good, but in DNS I can still see entries under _sites and nameserver domain properties tab.

As per the nameserver domain tab, I think they can be deleted as they are unreacheable/unresolvable records, I still got confused though by the _sites entries as some of them are not showing up and some others are still there and they has an entry under _tcp that point at a DC that has never belonged to the sites in object, but has some FSMO rules.

Some interesting points: 

  • repadmin /replsummary doesn't shows any old DC entry
  • the old DCs are now member servers

I'm somewhat new to advanced DNS management, How I can safely go further from here?

Thanks

We are looking to create 2x windows server 2019 server domain controllers. Currently the highest OS we have for Domain controllers is windows server 2012R2.

Do I go through the normal prep work to update the Scheme for windows server 2019 using commands below or do I must go through for this for windows server 2016 first?

Also, what is the proper steps to extend the scheme for 2019?

Issue with intra forest migration of Distribution Lists and Mail Enabled Security Groups

$

Hello there,

I am doing a domain consolidation, in which we are merging all domains in the forest to just one domain.

All source domains are running a mix of WS2008 and WS2008R2 domain controllers, target domain has WS2016 domain controllers.

The issue I am facing is with migration of Distribution Lists and Mail Enabled Security Groups. Using Quest AD migration manager.

The current AD environment is quite complex and over the years the complexity has increased. There are a lot of nesting of groups in the environment and span across domains/forests.

While migrating mail-enabled security groups and Distribution Lists if the membership of the group/DL is not updated from both the source and target the mails were not getting delivered to migrated user’s mailbox. To overcome this we selected the option of updating the group membership with the source and target objects both.

This leads to increase in the user group membership, as the group nesting is quite complicated, many users group membership exceeded 1010, preventing them from getting access tokens.

What is the best way of migrating DLs/Security groups in intraforest migration.

Thanks for any help

Windows DNS

Hi Guys,

I have come across a weird situation where i have to resolve a reverse lookup zone to AWS DNS server from onprem, a regular reverse lookupzone will not work here because i need route this to cloud dns server so it will not help.

What i am trying to do is create a conditional forwarder in the format of reverse lookup just like below.

XX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa
IP - X.X.X.X

But problem is i have a existing reverse lookup zone as 10.in-addr.arpa this will not allow me to create the conditional forward (XX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa)
the solution i found is create a delegation in the reverselook zone as xx.xxx.10.in-addr.arpa, and then create a conditional forwarder this will resolve the issue but i just don't understand

1) Why i need a delegation in place to create a CF

2)How are delegation and CF works here together, i know it's two different concepts.

Please help me understanding here whats happening.

Thanks in advance

AD Replication Tool Show Error - LDAP Query - "(objectClass=nTDSConnection)"

This error shows for two old 2003 DCs that are forcibly removed by deleting them from the Domain Controllers group while attached to a 2016 DC.  The standard process was follow in Sites and Services.  Th this time, these two DCs do not show any any GUI nor any place that I have looked in ADSIEdit.  I did find one of them hiding in NetServices as a DHCP server, even though it had been deauthorized prior to deletion.

RepAdmin /ReplSum does not show them and they are also not listed under FRSService replication.

I am the point that I need to migrate my directory from FRS to DSFR, but am concerned.


Thanks Roy
