Hi
I just started working at a private school and one of the computers in a classroom is giving me big problems. It says that I need to change the password for the Student account but it says that it can't reach the domain or it was denied access. It isn't supposed to be on one according to the guru at our high school. Also I can't get into the system in Safe Mode or any other mode. Nor can I access the Admin account at all. I REALLY need help PLEASE
I am an enterprise admin. I recently rebooted my machine and got an error that there were no logon servers available and that Windows Vista was logging me in with a stored account. I dis-joined my workstation from the domain (Server 2008 R2) and attempted to re-join it. Whenever I try to rejoin to the domain I get the following message:
"The join operation was not successful. This could be because an existing computer account having name "Omitted" was previously created using a different set of credentials. Use a different computer name, or contact your administrator to remove any stale conflicting account. The error was:
Access Denied"
I have tried changing the computer name, running newsid, making sure tha the old machine was deleted from active directory and rejoining, tried precreating a computer and rejoining, tried everything in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961817.aspx#mainSection, and tried everything in http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/01/28/quick-reference-troubleshooting-netlogon-error-codes.aspx. I have performed all of the tips and tricks with the security descriptors, permissions, an explored every search result for the specific error. I ran DCDIAG and found no errors.
I disjoined an XP machine from the domain and cannot add it back, so it is not only my workstation. I have reset the roles for Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP on the DCs. I left the service on for all of the servers and workstations, but turned the firewall off on each of the three firewall profiles.
Nothing helps. I did go to the NetSetup.LOG to see if there were any errors. When I try to join the computer to the domain, it actually created the computer in active directory (I verified this), but it fails to join the domain. I notice that in this log I find the following:
NetpManageAccountWithSid: NetUserAdd on '\\TEST.Domain.local' for 'OMITTED$' failed: 0x8b0
NetpManageAccountWithSid: Status of attempting to set password on'\\TEST.Domain.local' for 'OMITTED$': 0x0
NetpJoinDomain: status of setting netlogon cache: 0x5
NetpJoinDomain: initiating rollback due to realier errors
NetpJoinDomain: status: 0x5
I really think that the setting netlogon cache error is the big deal and seems to be why this is failing. I do not know if this is related to security policies on the domain controllers or what, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
I am running 2 DCs in a test environment. The second DC joined my test domain yesterday and I noticed that replication occurs every 1 hour. Is this the default time? Is it advisable to reduce it?
At the moment DC1 replicates DC2 but any changes on DC2 does not get replicated to DC1. Is this how it should be?
Many thanks
What is the best method to setup quota's and restrictions for DFS-N Namespaces? Is FSRM the best practice or is there a way within DFS to set quotas?
Also,
what are the best practice settings for a namespace referrals
the options are under referrals tab
Cache Duration (in seconds)
Ordering Method:
clients fail back to prefferred targets
and under advanced tag
optimize for polling or scalability?
Thanks
could somebody help with the error (see pic). It is in the lab domain.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your help in advance. I would like to ask:
Currently we have domain controllers with a mixture of OS in our Active Directory. They include Window2003, Windows 2008, and Windows 200R2.
Now I would like to add a new 2012 server and promote it as a domain controller. So what is the procedure for me to do? Do I need to run the "prep" tool as I did for 2k8 and 2k8R2? Also, a minor thing... I have not run the readonly prep tool for my current domain. Also, when I perform the upgrade in 2012, can I still use dcpromo or just do it thru the "role adding" in Server Manager?
Any experience or ideas to share from you would be great.
Thank you very much again for your help in advance.

Hi I am looking for someone who can help me formulate an ADFind query that will only export enabled accounts and then export those accounts to a CSV file with the SAMAccountName, Display Name etc along with all of the SMTP email aliases associated with that user (ideally in separate fields).
Can anyone assist with this? I can get enabled users and all email addresses in separate queries but it would be nice to do as one query. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
How will making an Attribute (employeeID) mandatory (to create new account) in AD affect existing users?
This thread is based on another thread that uses LDP.exe to make an attribute in AD mandatory:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/de57f527-82ae-4ca8-9da8-ae0266cab70d/required-field-to-create-user-account?prof=required
Will this new mandatory attribute setting only affect new user accounts when they are created?
Will it affect (disable) existing user accounts that do not have a value assigned to for this attribute?
All operational roles for AD are on Server 2012 (version 6.2.9200), domain functional level is 2003.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
We have enabled LDAP signing on our DCs. Only the applications with third party SSL certificate installed are able to connect for LDAP queries others are not.
We have also enabled LDAP client signing requirement policy as "Require Signing" on these clients.
These clients run Java applications on both Windows and Linux machines.
In order to enable these clients to successfully query LDAP, We suggested the application owners to use LDAPS over port 636.
Do we need to install a self signed certificate on these application servers to make this work and also do we also need to install the certificate of the DC on these application servers they are attempting to connect to.
Hello all and thanks for reading my question.
I'm faced with an issue where we have four sites in the domain. KCC isn't properly routing inter site replication, so we were forced to use manually defined replication connections. We have one site acting as a replication hub that replicates changes to, from, and between the other three sites. The problem I'm having is that one site in the forest is only replicating to another DC in the site and not out to the hub. When I do a repadmin /syncall, it only lists the other DC in the site, and when I use the Sites and Services console to replicate to the replication hub, the changes don't ever go through. Am I missing something obvious here?
Trying to add/promote a 2012 Server Standard edition in a Small Business 2011 essentials edition. These are 2 separate physical servers. 2012 server has static ipv4 and the small business ip is the dns server on the 2012. No ipV6 enabled on the network.
When I run the wizard to add the 2012 as a DNS server I get stopped at the following error:
Hi,
I'm migrating my active directory and my two windows server 2008 which are the DNS to windows server 2012.
One of this servers is my file server and my problem is that I can migrate everything except the shared folders, I mean, I can migrate the accounts, permissions and so on but I have to share the folders manually.
In my case I have more than 300 shared folders in my file server.
My question is whether, anyone can tell me if there is any way to share all the folders automatically? and,
can anybody tell if I can get a list of the shared folders?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Trying to do a mass import of users into AD using the DSADD command. Our company's Naming convention for the object's CN is "Lastname, Firstname". So the command looks like:
DSADD user "CN=Lastname, Firstname,OU=Users,OU=XXX,OU=Accounts.DC=...
So DSADD fails with: Value for 'Target object for this command' has incorrect format.
I've tried to use an escape key "\," hoping that it might work. I tried single quotes just around the name the CN value, but no success.
Any suggestions?
Can we allow all workstation except few hosts to users in their logon to.

Hello
For my new project, I need to use Microsoft ADAM as LDAP service. One of the requirement is, I need create a batch program which look for any changes (tree updates such are user information changes, or new user added, deleted etc etc) in the tree and notify an external system about this new change. Is there any way I can write a listener to listen to change log in ADAM or any other idea you may have will be very helpful.
Please post any helpful links if you have.....
Thank you very much for your help
Hello everybody,
I need some help to get ride of a critical error on my DCs.
I've got two DC (SRV & SRV-AAPLIS) on the same site and one of them (SRV-APPLIS) is handeling RID, CDP and Infrastructure operation master roles. There are both Global Catalogue.
I found there was an error because i was trying to push a GPO to some of my computers but no effect on them. That's how i found that replication was running not properly on both DCs.
Here is what i found in the log viewer:

It seems like INBOUND and OUTBOUND replication are disabled...
When i try to do a repadmin/options - DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL and repadmin/options
- DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL, i've got an LDAP error 81 : Server down
I need your help on this because i'm a bit lost...
Thanks for your help

I have installed a new 2012 Server to take over from my existing 2003 server, I have added new server to the domain, moved all fsmo roles, everything has replicated fine to the new server. I have made sure all PC are using the new server as their DNS server. I have taken the tick out of the box to make sure the old server doesn't think it is a Global Catalog. I have made sure the old server isn't in the DNS as a NS.
I run netdom query fsmo in command prompt and everything is pointing at the new server.
When I try and demote the old server it says it can't, because it can't see any domain controllers on the network.
If i turn off the old server the new server loses everything in Active Directory Users and Computers because it can't find the domain controller and some of the network shares stop working.
Confused.
Hi
i need to create additional domain controller in my network , as i have current server 2003 enterprise 32 bits OS.
1) My current server is 2003 enterprise 32 bits ( AD and DC, DNS , DHCP etc) act as a file server , tally server, print server, SAGE ACT database server etc.
Note : The server is over loaded and its hanging sometimes,
2) I have a new server 2008 R2 standard 64 bit , i just want to create one more domain ( Backup Domain Server) in the same network and it will be sync all the information with the current running server.
3) i need to move all the files to new server and all other applications and databases once everything backed up.
please correct me, if i am wrong.
1) i will check the 2003 enterprise server and Raise the functional level to windows server 2003, as default one is windows server 2000 mixed.
2) i will run the commands adprep and forestprep , in the server 2003 enterprise 32 bit server ( using the resource CD, 32 bits application only).
3) i will run the adprep and forestprep commands in the 2008 R2 standard server.
4) run "dcpromo" command in the new server
5) i will select create and new domain in the existing domain /forest.
6) i will select the roles of DNS DHCP ADS Printer Services etc
7) once the installation finished , i will check the current server domain for check whether there is a once server appears.
( i will use the IP of current server as NDS server of the second server)
please do i need to check something else or do i need to follow anymore steps here?
i need to raise the domain functional level to new , and all of my connected pc's are windows 7 and there is no more old systems here.
please advise
Siji Gopinathan.
