Resource access via Sid History Vs Resource access via Group membership post Inter-forest Migration

Hello,

Resources are in the source domain. "Domain Local" groups of source domain are applied on resource ACL. Those source domain local groups had been migrated from source domain to target domain using Sid History and scope of the source domain group had been changed from domain local group (in source domain) to Global group (in target domain) meaning that now global group in target domain have Sid of source domain local group in Sid History attribute.

So If I add newly created user (created in target domain) inside migrated global group, his access token contains:

Sid for target domain user account
Sid for migrated global group of which the user is a member.
Sid for source domain local group in Sid History attribute of migrated global group

So newly created user now has Sid of source domain local group in his access token and that user will be able to access resource without source domain local group membership (either directly OR indirectly via nesting of migrated global group inside source domain local group).

Please confirm if this statement is true?

If the above statement is true, then what is the point of nesting migrated global group into source domain local group? In my AD infrastructure, I see that migrated global group is nested inside source domain local group.Why is this required? What is the main reason? Kindly explain.

I'm getting confused between "Resource access via Sid History Vs Resource access via Group membership" as the title says. So it would be great help if you share link of good articles for below mentioned topics that can clear all my doubts and confusion

1- Understanding Microsoft's Best Practice for group management

2- Resource access controls

3- Sid History

Please explain specific to all queries mentioned above. 

Thanks in advance!

How to tell how many computer accounts a specific user has joined to the Domain?

How to tell how many computer accounts a specific user has joined to the Domain?

Our domain has a "25" limit in the quota, related to how many PCs can be joined to the domain (as seen by ADSI)

I don´t know whys is "25", insted of "10", the default, but it´s not important right now.

The important question is:

How to tell, looking at a specific user, how many times he used that privilege?

We´re deploying MS INtune and some test-users are being denided to add their PCs to the AzureAD, so, maybe we´re using IT user who already added their quota to the on-premisse AD doamin, we´re not really sure even if this makes sense.

Anyway, the thing here is to know about the "quota" of a particular user, if it was reached

Why use nonauthoritative restore during forest recovery?

Lets say all your DC's are corrupted and unusable.  You need to perform a full forest recovery.

I have been reading:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/ad-forest-recovery-procedures

You take all the DC's offline. 

You restore a DC with system state from backup.

Why do we perform a nonauthoritative restore on the DC?  I thought you do this when there are other DC's still online and working...and the recovered DC will get its update from the online DC's.  If the entire forest is gone and you restore only 1 DC... the only DC in the environment... shouldn't you set an authoritative restore?  Or does it matter?  I see that you do an authoritative restore on the SYSVOL ..per document above..

Can someone clarify this?

DCpromo to demote 2008r2 Fails

Hello

Working at a Site that  has primary application server on same  server as Domain controller. server is windows 2008 r2 server   There is a 2012r2 dc and a 2016 dc.  My goal is to remove the DC role and migrate the application server to a new server, but it will need the same IP address.    - The current server is about 10 years old- scary    So when I try to remove the DC roles off the 2008R2 server using DCpromo  I get the following error

Active directory domain services installation wizard

The operation failed because

Active directory domain services could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition

DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domainname, DC=com  … to active directory domain controller \\ dcname

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

I have tried running dcdiag, netdiag, netdom, happy to run anything else and send results.  My only other option is to manually move the DC roles of this server   

Thanks

On both DC in \\hostanme\sysvol\contose.com\policies there are 4 files
But 1 file changed today. Date is equal, time is different.

I'm not familiar with replication so maybe someone can assist.

Delegate Permission to user in Specific organisation unite in Active directory 2012

Hello Dears,<o:p></o:p>

We have to delegate permission to specific IT support account in specific organization unite which is belong to all IT support team to make enable and disable their account, I did all the steps for delegation control in the IT support OU but it is not working, because all the IT members are member in another security account to have permission to join computers to the domain.<o:p></o:p>

Kindly any solution appreciates.<o:p></o:p>

Allow members of a group to manage each other

We have an issue that I am hoping to figure out with some assistance. We currently operate a domain that uses the standard practice of least privilege. We have delegated tasks to security groups and all tasks are working as expected, with the exception of one.

Users in a security group that has delegated privilege are unable to perform management actions for users that reside in the same security group.

Example:

Admin A locks out account and is member of security group A. Admin B, who is also a member of security group A attempts to unlock the account and receives access denied. Additionally, neither admin can modify any attributes of any other account that belongs to security group A.

I know this is a delegation restriction, but I also know that it can be changed. I just haven't found the search term that gets me what I am looking for, all my searches return how to allow a group to delegate other objects, not how to delegate to manage itself.

Thanks for the help

get current domain by using different UPN

Hi there,

My scenario is there is a user in the AD OU container and there are two UPN (User logon name) along with this account. for example:

  1. my ldap: dev.local
  2. my domain: devlocal
  3. my user account: aaronp
  4. my user account (user logon name): aaronp@dev.local and aaronp@dev.com.my

my question is how to convert UPN format to devlocal\aaronp, when user uses the UPN format to login certain system even if the format are aaronp@dev.local and aaronp@dev.com.my. finally I could get the devlocal\aaronp

  • aaronp@dev.local --> devlocal\aaronp
  • aaronp@dev.com.my --> devlocal\aaronp

Thanks

Manage Computer Object in Active Directory

I created virtual desktops and those desktops got added to the OU. I right click on those desktops to go and manage it so I can add a user as the local administrator easily instead of going through each computer and adding it, and I GET THE following error.

Using a Public Domain Name for Private Internal Use on my Private Network

I'm an IT Guy/Student, looking to learn about servers and networks. How to build them, how they interact, etc. So as of right now, I'm trying to build an Active Directory Server. The University I attend, their active directory domain service isad1.university.edu

And many of their internal applications are app_name.university.edu

I wanted to build something like that, just to learn more. So I purchased a domain from a company called DreamHost. I gathered some old equipment, got Windows Server loaded and attempted to create a domain controller with a forestcompany.net

Afterwards I tried to connect a computer to company.net and received the error that it could not find the domain controller usingcompany.net

(Though I can get it to work just fine if I use company.local)

Eventually I'd like to extend my work into making app_name.company.net, but I'm trying to start somewhere and work my way up.

Like I said, I'm very new to this and just trying to learn, if anyone could offer some insight or some training material, that would be awesome. I feel like I'm missing just one element, but can't seem to find any answers online after research.
