 I Upgraded domain of 2003 to 2008. I have a domain 2008 R2 and  Active directory integrated with  DNS service. I have 2  domain controllers, and  these domain controllers  have configurated DNS server service, but I have problems with DNS service  and I see that the  DNS server is not complete because  i don´t see the _msdcs zone in forward lookup zones

Can anybody say me what can i do for recovery  the _msdcs zone? or if I can re-create the DSN server service

Thanks for your help.


LAN Manager Hash

Hello All........I am trying to implement some of the suggestions from RAP Report for our Windows Server 2012 ADDS.  I just need expert opinion from you guys about following that following would not affect my ADDS environment and I can go ahead and do that in production even in peak hours

LAN Manager Hash for Passwords Stored

Solution: 

For Windows Server 2003 and above, the behavior is controlled via the following Registry value.
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
      Value:  NoLmHash
      Type:  REG_DWORD
      Data:  0 to store the LM hash / 1 to not store the LM hash
This value can be defined directly or by the GPO setting "Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change."  The GPO setting only applies to Windows Server 2003 and above. 

Can I go ahead and do that

w32tm /query /status Access is denied. (0x80070005) from elevated prompt‎

$

I am in the process of decomissioning the 2008 DC so I have moved all FSMO roles to another DC. The old DC is getting time from the newly promoted PDC as are the domain clients it seems.

I have gone through this below more times than I should have needed, the info is clear and it seems to work. however I still get an error from an elevated cmd prompt.

C:\Windows\System32>w32tm /query /status

or

C:\Windows\System32>w32tm /query /configuration

The following error occurred: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

pushd %SystemRoot%\system32
.\net stop w32time
.\w32tm/unregister
.\w32tm/register
.\sc config w32time type= own
.\net start w32time
.\w32tm/config/update /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org,3.pool.ntp.org",0x8/syncfromflags:MANUAL /reliable:yes
.\w32tm/resync
popd

Why am I not able to run a query on the PDC with an elevated cmd prompt and I do have domain rights in all the right areas! I have never had this problem before.


Thanks, Charlie

LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing - LDAPS? LDAPS Certificate?

$

Hi All,

Hello,

Sure everyone's familiar with...

2020 LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing requirement for Windows
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-signing-requirement-for-windows

From what I can tell, LDAP connections will be made secure;

  • LDAP signing
    or
  • LDAPS 

Current Windows computers are capable of LDAP signing.  But non-Windows computers may not be; instead, they should use STARTTLS to switch to LDAPS.

The domain controllers I am looking at are already listening on TCP/636;

Get-ADDomainController -filter * | select name,ldapport,sslport

name          ldapport sslport
----          -------- -------
[redacted]         389     636
[redacted]         389     636
[redacted]         389     636
[redacted]         389     636
[redacted]         389     636

If a computer isn't capable of LDAP signing [typically, non-Windows], then it should use the STARTTLS to use LDAP channel binding.

That's where the fun begins!

LDAPS is LDAP over TLS.

TLS requires a certificate.

Where should this certificate come from?

Should it be from an internal certification authority, which won't be trusted by [non-Windows domain member] LDAP clients by default.   But internal hosts can check the certification authority CRLs.

Or, should it be from an public certification authority (https://letsencrypt.org/ might do!)

BUT if I use a public certification authority, then do my LDAP clients now need to be able to examine the public certification authorities certificate revocation list or OCSP?  That may not always be possible.

PKI - LDAPS / KDC Certificate with Certreq private key not exportable

$
0
0

I try to automate cert requests for LDAPS certificate. When i request the my cert template the certificates private key is exportable. But never, when I try with certreq. 

This is my Inf:

[Version]Signature="$Windows NT$

[NewRequest] 
; At least one value must be set in this section 
Subject="CN=dc01"
KeySpec=1
KeyLength=4096
Exportable=TRUE
ProviderType=12
RequestType=PKCS10
KeyUsage=0xa0

[RequestAttributes]
CertificateTemplate="KDC_TEMPLATE"


[Extensions]
_continue_ = "dns=dc01&"
_continue_ = "dns=dc01.mydomain.dom&"
_continue_ = "dns=mydomain.dom&"
_continue_ = "dns=MYDOMAIN&"
_continue_ = "dns=ldap.mydomain.dom&"

Then I try
certreq -new c:\_scripts\request2.inf c:\_scripts\result.txt
certreq -config pki.mydomain.dom\myCERT-CA -submit c:\_scripts\result.txt c:\_scripts\certificate.cer 
certreq -accept c:\_scripts\certificate.cer 

I got a powershell script to put the cert to NTDS Store.

But the private key ist never exportable when I script this, only when I use MMC an request manual.

Does anyone has an idea, what I do wrong??
