Dear All,
I have a dc server, which is not successfully demoted. It caused a site and service replica object left. However, this server is also DHCP and WINS Server role. Will the metadata cleanup or Site and Service replica delete affect the DHCP and WINS Server role?
Many Thanks
Best Regards,
Elroy
Hola a todos;
Estoy por implementar un servicio de AD LDS en un servidor y configurar un segundo servidor como replica del primero. Entiendo que al tener una replica de mi instancia en otro servidor tengo un ambiente de alta disponibilidad. Mi duda es la siguiente:
Que pasa en el momento en el que mi servidor primario falla ¿En automático mi servidor replica fungiría como primario?¿Que pasa si en mis aplicaciones apuntan al "dominio" Ejem:adlds.contoso.com, el servidor secundario respondería en automático o tengo que hacer algún cambio en mis confuguraciones?
Gracias por su apoyo

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to join a tree domain server to a forest domain and i'm unable to do so due to replication issues. When I try to join the server to the forest I get the following error
The operation failed because:
Active Directory Domain Services could not create the object CN=SETXVPA,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=demotesas,DC=local. Check the event log for possible system errors.
"The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner."
Before I had a server tried to join it to the forest but it didn't work so I demoted it from the Server Manager and things went smoothly but it seems there's still leftovers of this server on the forest domain and its causing the replication to fail to the new joining domains.
When I checked in the forest domain the command repadmin /showrepl
I got the following..
Repadmin: running command /showrepl against full DC localhost

Is there anyway to force delete this old server?
Thanks

Hi,
One of my customer needs a report which contains logon/logoff information of domain users. He asked for a detailed report to track user logon/logoff times for the specific time period. Let’s say if a domain user is logon to his computer several times a day, this should be in the report with respective date. He is in a branch office which has a separate site. That site has a RODC. I configured default domain policy to audit logon events and Audit Account Logon Events at writable domain controller at head office. Is there any way that I can get above mentioned report for the users who residing that site only.
Thanks,
Thisaru.

Hi all
I have a VMWare virtual Windows 2008 R2 domain controller with a C:\ and a D:\ drive. The d:\ is only 20GB in size and I need to expand this to 100GB.
The C:\ contains the SYSVOL and the D:\ contains the NTDS DB & Logs.
Is it ok to increase the disk size on the virtual server configuration and then extend the volume from 20GB > 70GB without affecting the AD database and logs?
Hi All,
I am doing cross forest migration from 2003 to 2008 using ADMT3.2.
Some migrated users disabled state in target, While enabling those users i am getting password complexity Error.
Kindly Advice someone how to acheive this with some articles.
What would the advantages / disadvantages be of these two different setups in a active directory environment? Apologies for my lack of correct terminology please correct me as to the name of subsubdomain.. Root of domain tree :domain chicken . com Second scenario : Root of domain tree: chicken. I hope I have explained this okay, would be grateful for what the differences would be and advantages /disadvantages are? Many thanks |
I have a small environment with 3 sites connected by a single site link.
Site 1 has two Domain Controllers
Site 2 has 1 Domain Controller
Site 3 has 1 Domain Controller
All DCs are 2008 R2. DFL and FFL are 2008R2. All DCs are GCs and DNS Servers.
What I'm seeing is two warning events and 1 error event every 15 minutes on one of the Domain Controllers at Site 1 - but not on ANY of the other Domain Controllers - including the secondary DC also at Site 1.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Event ID: 1865 -- The KCC was unable to form a complete spanning tree network topology...
Event ID: 1566 -- All directory servers in the following site that can replicate the directory partition over this transport are currently unavailable. (site information is shown and points toSite 3)
Event ID: 1311 -- The KCC has detected problems with the following directory partition. CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=local
There is insufficient site connectivity information for the KCC to create a spanning tree topology or one or more directory servers with this directory partition are unable to replicate...
I have run dcdiag /test:connectivity on All DCs with no issues. Again, only ONE of the two DCs at Site 1 are seeing these errors, ALL OTHER DCs are fine.
I have also followed the steps here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1375.event-id-1311-microsoft-windows-activedirectory-domainservice.aspx to verify my settings in AD Sites and Services
Why would only one of my DCs at this site experience this issue? What can I do to resolve this problem?
Hello,
We are planning for interforest migration, We have a special situation which is posing a challenge and wondering if we have any option to tackle this.
- few source\users are logging on to target\computers currently.
- Post user migration we want the target\users to retain their profile when they logon to target\computers
I know that we can modify the registry hive to map the profile , but is that sufficient since we are not processing any ACL's on files/folders/printers etc.
Appreciate if anyone came across this kind of scenarios.
thanks

I have recently corrected a problem where we had two DCs acting as the Authoritative time provided in our root Forest domain.
Lets call them PDCe and oldPDC. I have changed oldPDC settings to get time from the domain.
When running this command: w32tm /monitor /domain:domain.net
I get these results (a number of DCs show this):
SomeDC.domain.net
| [x.x.x.x]:
|
|
|
|
|
| ICMP:
| 61ms
| delay.
|
|
|
| NTP:
| -0.0323784s
| offset
| from
| PDCe.domain.net
|
| RefID:
| oldPDC.domain.net
| [x.x.x.x]
|
|
|
My question is what does RefID represent?
Shouldn't the RefID be PDC.domain.net (as most of the DCs are).
This correction was done yesterday and 24 hours should have beed enough time for DCs to perform a timesync and replicate.
I will be running: W32TM /resync /rediscover as it will likely resolve the issue.
I have created an AD LDS instance as a proxy to AD. Port 50004 is for NON-ssl and port 50005. Both ports seem to work using ldp.exe. I also tested the SSL port with my application.
Now I want to turn off SSL using ADSI Edit and retest my application, but am confused. Here are the instructions from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794922(v=ws.10).aspx
To disable the SSL requirement for bind redirectionTo open ADSI Edit, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then clickADSI Edit. Connect to configuration directory partition of your AD LDS instance. For more information, seeManage an AD LDS Instance Using ADSI Edit.
In the console tree, browse to the following container object in the configuration partition: CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services.
Right-click CN=Directory Service, and then click Properties.
In Attributes, click msDS-Other-Settings, and then clickEdit.
In Values, click RequireSecureProxyBind=1, and then clickRemove.
In Value to add, type RequireSecureProxyBind=0, clickAdd, and then click OK.
When I start ADSI Edit on the LDS box, I see in the tree pane:
Configuration [localhost:50004]
I can see that RequireSecureProxyBind=0
For my instance of LDS isn't there only ONE Configuration partition?
If I try to connect to Configuration[localhost:50005], I get
---------------------------
ADSIEdit
---------------------------
Operation failed. Error code: 0x8007203a
The server is not operational.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Note that I also see in the tree pane: APPLIC PARTITION DC=APPPARTFE,DC=COM [LOCALHOST:50004] It also references the non-ssl port.
Does this mean that my SSL testing was not valid? May I assume that there is only 1 application partition and not one for ssl and one for non-ssl that are using the same partition name?
What am I doing wrong or not understanding?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have domain and forest with level 2003 interim. In this domain there are 2 domain controlers with windows server 2003 sp2.
I have couple of computers in domain with NT4 workstation and win98, xp ,w7.
Question, is it secure to raise domain and forest level to 2003, there will be no problems with NT4 workstation and win98 or any other bad things ?
