Hi,

Lately we having an issue with adding a new PC to our domain. We can remove and add an existing machine to the domain but if machine is new one get even 4097 error code 1332 and error code 1003

Our domain is server 2012 with multiple DC's, the time on app of the DC's are the same and we use NetBIOS name or FQDN both with the same result.

Any suggestion?

Hi Technet,

Is it possible to track who has updated a users first or last name in Active Directory?

It looks like event 4738 cover most user properties, but I've trawelled the internet and cannot find any logs that actually track who has updated these particular properties. Is it possible to track these changes?

Thanks,

Bitlocker recovery password

$

I am using a cpp program to search an Active Directory using the IDirectory-Search (ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adsi/searching-with-idirectorysearch). 

For computer objects this function is able to fetch all attributes expect 'msFVE-RecoveryPassword' attribute and instead returning '0x80005010' (E_ADS_COLUMN_NOT_SET) on calling GetColumn function. All other attributes including other bitlocker attributes like 'msFVE-RecoveryGuid' are fetched properly.

The password is visible in ADUC properties page of the computer object and also through Bitlocker recovery password viewer. Since the 'msFVE-RecoveryPassword' is not available in security tab -> permission list, I am not able to find if the user credentials used in the program have the read permission on the attribute. But since 'msFVE-RecoveryInformation' has a common delegation, it might not be a permission issue. 

Any suggestion or troubleshooting step would be really helpful

Thanks in advance.

dfsrmig /getglobalstatus is "eliminated" and stops sysvol share on RWDC

Hi all.

I have two Domain Controlles with 2012 R2 (DC 1 and DC2), both RWDC. I have the necessity to create other server with Win 2019 but for this I have to change de technology replication from FRS to DFS.

So, I ran the commands on the existing AD: "dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1", after that "dfsrmig /setglobalstate 2", "dfsrmig /setglobalstate 3".

After that, I ran "dfsrmig /getglobalstate" and the result was "Eliminated" and the result is "completed succesfully". 

With the command "dfsrmig /getmigrationstate" the results is that "Migration has not reached a consistent state on all Domain Controllers state information might be stale due to AD latency"

All the users lost resource connectivity that needs AD authentication. I tried repeat the process but it's not possible. It's give me a message "Invalid state  change requested"

I's very worried about this. Can anyone help me please? What can I do for work back?

Thank you.

ADCS Installing CA Certificate

Just created a new, off-line root CA, and signed the SubCA request generated. All are on the same WS2016 Datacenter

Now I attempt to install this certificate and I receive an error about Invalid Data. The error is instructing me to re-run the wizard which would require I uninstall the role and start over. Then perform another root key ceremony to sign the SubCA request. The error also indicates that there was a subsequent .req file created, when there wasn't.

What are is the real cause of this error? Is there debug logging I can enable to learn more? I really do not know if this is a problem accessing the private key or not.

Hello Everyone,

We had recently migrated from windows 7 to windows 10 and during that process we had manually remove the drives from the actually devices without first removing them from the Domain and now we are left with a bunch of obsolete PC in our Active Directory.

Therefore, I was wondering if anyone has the Microsoft recommend process to cleanly remove all these obsolete machines from our AD with leaving behind and chum behind.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

question admins in builtin administrator group getting kicked out randomly in active directory

$

Good morning guys, recently I've been having issues where some of our users who were apart of the member of in the administrators built in group in active directory keep getting randomly kicked out of the group. What I've been doing is heading into the admin server and re adding the administrators to the group and then press apply after I add them (do I also have to run a gpupdate?) and then after a while I go back to go check they are removed in the member of in the administrator group again and I have checked in the audit logs it seems to be kicking them off but noone in my department is going in there and removing users. Another thing that has happened is our domain users are no longer administrators on there own their own devices so they cant access task manager for example without having to input administrative credentials, how can I fix this issue also when I try to make a user a domain administrator on that device I get access denied. We currently had to reboot our servers and had an ad sync not sure if either of those could cause a problem. Thanks in advanced for you help.

DSQUERY.EXE and VPN users.

Hi everyone!

  We are running W2K8 DCs and the following command...

  %SystemRoot%\System32\dsquery.exe user "DC=mydomain,DC=local" -inactive 8 -s localhost -limit 1000

  ... but it seens DSQUERY.EXE counts users who connect to work using VPN too. It is a false positive. Is it the expect behavior? In other words, it only updates the last logon attribute if user connects interactively?

Dear Team,

I want to configure Microsoft two factor OTP authentication in Active Director users, advice me and share the documents. suggest the third party (RSA) software, will be support active directory.

My Environment

2. Mail- gmail service

connect Windows10 to Active Directory

I have Windows Server 2016 on a cloud server, and want to use as AD DS.

After installing AD DS / dns on the server, joined server domain but there is a problem connecting to corporate PC(Windows 10 pro).

nslookup&host command could get IP for domain.
However, I couldn't connect Windows server.

Is it a problem that trying to connect to another network band using Public IP?
If so, is there any way to connect it?

====== error message. (it is not exact, translated) ======

The following domain controllers were verified in the query:

{server name}.{test domain}              <---- just 'test.com' also couldn't works.


But, the connection to the domain controller failed.

Common causes of this error are:

- Host (A) or [AAAA] record mapping the name of the domain controller to an IP address does not exist or has an invalid address.

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

Read Only Domain Controller resolving to wrong DC

$

I have a set of read only domain controllers on a segregated network.  Sites and Services are set to that subnet.  When pinging the domain, the first ping is always to an internal writable DC - which is not accessible by non DC's.  I set the host file to ping the RODC which works fine as a sort of fix and modified the LMHost file and registry.  I've also made changes to DNSDomainZones and DNSForestZones for the site within DNS to only include the RODC's.  I do see tcp/udp (for kpassword and ldap)further up to the root does not include the RODC's.     

When using Active Directory Explorer, the first lookup is always the internal DC's and then eventually the RODC's which takes 30 or more seconds.  For now the lookup is set to RODC host name (with the host record) - which works in under 3 seconds.  Anyone have any ideas on how to force the domain lookup to always go to the read only DC's?  Thank you in advance.

Unable to Map Network Drive using %username% variable

We are running a windows server 2012 r2 AD environment and would like to dynamically map user specific network drives at time of logon to domain desktop sessions.  We created a network share on a 2012 R2 server with full share and security permissions for the everyone group just to see if it would work however whenever we use the following command on domain authenticated user session 

net use H: \\servername\home\%username%  OR net use H: \\servername\home\%LogonUser%

we receive the following error:

System error 55 has occurred. The specific network resource or device is no longer available.

In troubleshooting we tried ECHO %username% at a command prompt and receive the correct username.  We were able to use the same UNC path above in the builtin "Connect" feature under the Profile tab in AD to get the drive to map correctly.  The share is not hidden.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basic documentation about Active directory management

$

I need to provide to a team of junior system administrators some pointers to up-to-date documentation about basic Active Directory management procedures on Windows server 2019 or Windows server 2016 servers, including creating users and groups, creating and applying Group Policies, assigning user rights, protecting files and directories and so on.

Up to now I was able to locate only outdated pages and some third party pages.

Where can I locate up-to-date and Comprehensive Microsoft documentation on the matter?

Regards

marius
