Dear,

I have three domain controllers 2008 (one PDC and 2 are ADC). The FRS service automatically stopped in all these servers and when i restarted the FRS service , it generate the error in events " the donain controller is migrated to DFS for Replication of  SYSVOL folder".

However no Sysvol_DFRS folder is created in my domain controllers .. 

So i could not able to understand wheather it is the issue or not. 

second should i migrate my all other domain controller trees of the same forest to DFRS (is it good , and what is the risk level in doing this). 

Waiting for response, 

This is the very active forum where i always get solution.. thanks to Microsoft and contributors..

SQL Login Issue

$
0
0

Good evening,

I get this error when trying to login to SQL 2012 from a Windows Server 2008R2 server.

The target principal name is incorrect. cannot generate sspi context

What is odd is this, I can connect to the other instance on the SQL server just fine.  I can also connect to this instance from ANY other machine other than the our Team Foundation server...  That Team Foundation server can connect to our instance for Team Foundation but not our SharePoint instance. 

I have tried

klist /purge

ipconfig /flushdns

I don't see any other errors besides the one above.  I think I might have to start doing some tracing.  I could reboot the server but I would rather get to the bottom of this.

Any ideas?

After converting completely to Active Directory DFSR on Windows 2012 servers, I am seeing Large Backlogged Connections  on my RoDC's SYSVOL. I believe this is leftover remnants from FRS, how do I tell and how can I clear out these logs if it is?

One-way trust between 2012 R2 forest root and a child domain

$

I understand that in a 2012 R2 forest a two-way trust is automatically created between the root and each child domain.  Is it even possible to change the root - child domain trust to a one-way trust?  And if it is possible are there pros and/or cons to using a one-way trust between the root and the child domains?

Any advice/comments/experience with the above scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Move some users to a new domain

$

Hi

I am working for the company where all users are authenticated to one domain lets say companyA.local. Now management will form subsidiary company and they want to create new domain for example companyB.local. Not all users will be moved just about 50 users to start will be members of this new subsidiary and then will have to be moved from companyA.local domain to companyB.local domain. Majority of the users will still remain on companyA.local and companyA.local domain will continue to exist.

I have already created new domain and established two way trust between two domains and all is functional. Now we will have to move as I stated only some users to a new companyB.local domain.

How would you go about that. Would you use Microsoft ADMT tool to move users or some other method. I have never done anything like this. companyB.local is new domain and companyA.local domain will continue to exist and serve about 300 users. Trust established and some test users have been created on a new domain and they can access to old domain.

Server 2012 R2 password expiry notification not showing, and password GPO being ignored

$
0
0

Hi,

We have a domain running on two 2012 R2 domain controllers. We had a password and account lockout policy set in our default domain policy, which had some basic password settings, and no lockout policy. It also set a password epxiry notification of 7 days.

We wanted to then setup fine grained password policies, for which we were pointed to towards AD Administrative center. We set up two password policies in here, one with basic requirements for the password and account lockout, and another with no password expiry. We set each of these to link to different groups.

This caused us some issues with accounts being lockout far too often, including system accounts, which stopped some services. We decided to remove these two password policies from the administrative center, and go back to using out original settings in the GPO.

Oddly, accounts were still being locked out, even though our default domain policy had no such settings. Also, our expiry notification stopped showing.

The only way I have found so far to fix the account lockout issue, is to go back to the administrative center, and create a policy with the same settings as in the GPO. This unfortunately, has not fixed the expiry notification issue.

Is it possible the previous policies we had have left some remnant which is causing these problems? Can anyone advise what I can check to determine why our GPO was not applying as expected?

Many thanks

powershell - non-domain admin - grant AD userX permission to modify the membership of AD GroupY

$

I am a domain admin. if I run this script, it works fine-- it grants Curtisstest permission to write members on TestGroup.

 "scorch" is not a domain admin, but he has full control of all descendent groups in the OU where TestGroup lives, confirmed by the security settings on Testgroup in the ADUC gui.

 

$groupname = "TestGroup" $manager = "curtisstest" $membersPropertyGUID = [guid]"bf9679c0-0de6-11d0-a285-00aa003049e2" $group = get-adgroup $groupname $targetgroupacl = get-acl ad:\$group $managerSID = (get-aduser $manager).sid $NewRule = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectoryAccessRule($managerSID,"WriteProperty","Allow",$membersPropertyGUID) $targetgroupacl.AddAccessRule($NewRule) Set-acl ad:\$group -aclobject $targetgroupacl

if "scorch" is the owner of Testgroup, when I run the script as "scorch," I get a permission denied error on the set-acl command.

if "scorch" is not the owner of Testgroup, when I run the script as "scorch," I get an error that says "this security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object" on the set-acl command.

again, "scorch" has full control of TestGroup.
again, the script works if I run it as a domain admin.

Group Policy Password policy settings question

$
0
0

I am tasked with updating my infrastructures GPO's and I came across something I do not get/ understand.

The default domain password policy and the default domain controller policy have different settings for the password policy.

On the password policy the minimum password age is set to 46 while the DC is set to 59.

Is this normal/ a good design?

or

Should I make it universal/ all under one policy?

NTP Server DNS record question

$

So I used the link below to setup/ move over my domains NTP server settings, In step for (NTP Server key) we have IP's listed not "peers" in the steps it says the following (below) out of the 4 IP's listed 2 of them do not have DNS records... Do I create a normal Host A record for them? Do I do anything differently?

Peers is a placeholder for  a space-delimited list of peers from which your computer obtains time stamps. Each DNS name that is listed must be unique. You must append,0x1 to the end of each DNS name.   If you do not append ,0x1 to the end of each DNS name, the changes that you make in step 5 will not take effect.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/816042



To be more specific, we have 4 NTP servers listed, we want to get our time sync from left to right but we are only able to get the time sync from the very end of the list

How do I use long path names ("\\?\UNC\...") with Server 2008 roaming profiles?

$
0
0

Hey folks!

I administrate a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Domain with about 40 users onWindows 7 SP1 clients. Because the users often switch between the many PCs, I am using Roaming Profiles which tend to produce errors with different application-specific paths and files inside the users profiles.

As one of many example, our standard mail application Thunderbird produces paths and files according to folders/subfolders and mails in a user's mailbox. Another one is Microsoft Office's Auto Recovery files which reside in a user's profile and can get very long.

These paths and filenames often extend the allowed max. path of about 256 characters, when (on log on or off) the synchronization process between the client and the server takes place, leading to errors in the event log and a notification to the user about the conflict:

"Event ID 1509 - Windows cannot copy file \\server\share\users\user123.v2\AppData\Roaming\looooong to location C:\Users\user123\AppData\Roaming\looooong. DETAIL - The filename or extension is too long."

In the long run this leads to different file versions on different clients which - in the case of Thunderbird - leads to missing mails.

After extensive searches and lectures of forums - including this - I haven't found a solution for this problem.

So my question is if there's a way to use the extended max path with roaming profiles and if so how do I get it to work?

I tried changing the profile path of a test user in the Active Directory user preferences from "\\server\share\profiles\test_user" to something like "\\?\UNC\server\share\profiles\test_user" without any changes in the system's behavior. Also I think that because this is such a fundamental problem somebody must have come up with a solution for it...

Thanks in advance,

Nico
