Hi,
We have two Windows 2012 DCs. After the primary DC went down, users were unable to login to an RDP Server and getting error message, "Local security policy cannot be contacted". Does this mean the second DC is not working fine. Both DCs have the same roles installed.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have a software that uses DNS and reverse DNS of company domain to work properly.
At the moment, in the company, there are two domain controllers.
Both of them has got AD, DHCP and DNS services.
I would improve, if it is possible DNS replication time between these two domain controllers.
These two DC are in the same VLAN and in the same site.
How can I check it?
Is it possibile decrease DNS replication time?
How can I check if all, about DNS, work properly?
Thanks so much!

Our first DC was created with a forest name first.forest.com with the thought that joining a new second domain to it I could create second.forest.com. but from what I'm reading when I add the second domain to the forest it will create second.first.forest.com
is there a way to do what I want? Or do I have to recreate the forest as forest.com and add first.forest.com and second.forest.com ?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
Hello,
In my environment, there is service account used to perform AD related operations tasks(Adding/removing users from groups) via automation called by Service Now. What I observed in couple of days that automation task is failing because of that service account lockout.
I need to know can I do something to prevent locking out of the account so that AD related operations tasks are completed via automation.
Any suggestion or approach?

Dear Expert,
Our current AD have 2 trusted Organizational unit and we want to separate this 2 OU and locate it at server B (different location).
I planning use method to clone our current AD and use the clone AD to run at different server but both OU still there.
The changes is I change IP address at clone AD and user pointing to it.
Is this method workable? or there are other ways to do it.
Thank you

I am using ADMT 3.2 inter-domain user Migration with in the forest.
After the migration below issues are occurring:
1. UPN suffix is getting changed- I know this is common but its not setting it to the destination domain suffix instead using one of my email domain suffix which i have manually added in UPN suffixes under Domains and Trusts.
2. "user must change password at next logon" getting checked.
3. While checking the creation date i found the user is showing as a newly created user at the Destination and SiDhistory is showing some values which is contradicting and of course i am doing migration and not newly creating the users in the Destination domain.
checked GPO and nothing is related to this.
checked UPNSuffix attribute for the domain if that is hardcoded somehow via GPO or OU properties but this is not the case either.
Is there something needs to be checked at ADMT or this is related to something else, please help me with your feedback.
Hello,
does anyone know how to set up an AD LDS to authenticate with AD accounts, such as a vSphere Appliance (VCSA)? Or other Linux-based systems?
Our Setup
Now an external service provider is to host and operate a web application for us. It is a requirement that our users can then log in via their AD accounts. For this purpose, a connection to our AD must be established. For data protection reasons, however,
we cannot establish a direct connection to our AD, because otherwise the external service provider can read the information of all users from the entire AD, even those that have nothing to do with this mentioned web application. Restricting the access rights
(denying reading access) would be extremely time-consuming or not feasible at all without a complete restructuring of our AD structures. Hence the idea of having to do that via an AD LDS.
So we have an AD with multiple domains behind a firewall. In front of the firewall is a Windows Server 2016 with AD LDS (hereinafter referred to as "LDAP Proxy"). The LDAP proxy is a member of one of the internal domains. This domain membership is
fully functional, and the appropriate rules are set up in the FW. So far no problem.
The AD proxy synchronizes selected AD accounts from the different domains and creates userProxy objects in its LDAP. So far good, no problem.
What does not work is the connection as an identity source, e.g. in a VCSA, which is also in the same subnet as the LDAP proxy in front of the FW.
When we try to set up the identity source on the VCSA, the LDAP proxy logs in the security event log:
(transaleted from german message text)
Audit Failed - Event ID 4776
An attempt was made to verify the credentials for an account.
Authentication package: ADAM_XyZ
Login account: CN=XyZuser1,OU=Benutzer,DC=XyZ,DC=ADproxy,DC=local
Workstation: 192.168.245.35:34760
Error code: 0xC000006D
The error code varies.
If we use the NT loginmname such as "domain\samaccountname" to set up the identity source, then the error code is
0xC0000064
Meaning: User login with misspelled or incorrect user account
This seems logical because the userProxy object contains the sAMAccountName, but not the NetBIOS name of the domain.
If we use the UPN such as "name@domain.tld" to set up the identity source, then the error code
0xC000006D
Meaning: This is due to either a bad user name or authentication information.
The UPN is contained in the userProxy object and the event log message also contains the correctly recognized DistinguishedName.
I tried to set up the identity source with both an account that is synchronized to the LDAP proxy, an AD account that is not synchronized, and a local account of the LDAP proxy. (all 3 are members of the Readers role in AD LDS)
What I can rule out:
So I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone have any idea?

I want to set 1 days password expireation in AD. how can I do that?
Server12R2 DC with Single CA in AD that has expiration date in November, installed in 2010.
Planning to run All Tasks | Renew CA Certificate to update it. no pending requests, all issued certs in all panes have expired... I'm concerned that updating certificate will muck something up with AD. Should i just go ahead and renew it, or is there a way to test first if anything is using it? Generated two certs against the CA and they both terminate at the end date of the CA's cert. When i do renew, the soon to expire one is still active correct, until it expires?
Hi,
Do we still need to have a conditional forwarders between two domain having a forest level trust over internet connected with ipsec vpn tunnel. If not then how to configure the DNS properly to let both the domains resolve DNS names of each other properly?
Thanks.
I am having a 2tier PKI infrastructure where my subca will be used for issuing certs to user and machines using autoenrollment for 802.1x.
I have around 4k user and devices what is the best practice to issue them cert's at once?
Will there be any impact if i issue certs to all user/machines at once through GPO at domain level??please share a doc which can confirm this??
Hello,
I am looking for solution to delegate permission only for addition and removal of users from security group.

Hello,
Maybe someone can provide me some hint with the following issue. I will start from the beginning.
I have implemented Windows 2016/ADFS 3.0 in our company. It worked perfectly until some days ago, when the token signing / decrypting certificates expired.
I renewed both certificates and I also updated the new token signing certificates for the Office 365 trust.
After that, when sign in to Office, instead of company authentication page users get an authentication popup.
All user agents strings have been added to WIA.
The Global authentication policy has:
- for extranet Form based authentication
- for intranet Form based authentication and Windows Authentication
ExtendedProtectionTokenCheck is none
Fallback to WIA is true.
Some colleague of mine updated the user agents right after a renewed the certificates, but before update the office365 one.
That was (hopefully) the only thing he did, but I already added the user agents from scratch.
I would be happy if you guys can give me some hint where to look further, as having a popup displayed is awkward.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Victor
Hello everyone,
I have a question about file share SPNs for shares on domain controllers. Due to some issues with Kerberos delegation - the infamous "bad option" errors related to missing service identities in web.config endpoints which then defaults to WP's UPN and triggers Kerberos SPN negative caching in IIS, I enabled Kerberos verbose logging for all member servers. This also helped me to identify lots of missing SPNs by using SCOM to alert me about Principal Unknown errors. One of those which I see a lot is when servers look up an SPN for CIFS/domain.com. I assume the servers are connecting to domian controllers shares to download GPOs and are trying to authenticate through Kerbeors. I've been wondering if it's possible to register a CIFS SPN for the domain and where to do it in order to enable Kerberos authentication for access to these shares.
Would it work if I register it under PDCe and delegate it to other DCs?
Thanks

Hi everyone!
We have 2 DCs on the same site in a local domain that do not have any data replication failures, but when I count the number of files and folders in 'C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies', there are differences on totals.

It's like looking for a needle in the sand. Are there any practical ideas or tools for finding out where the difference is?
Thanks.
