Granting permissions to all users except one in a group over an OU

$
0
0

Hi,

I have three users - test1, test2, test3

They are in a Group "TestGroup".

I have a "Test OU" to which I would like to grant permissions to "TestGroup" users except one use ., i.e., say "test3".

Is it possible to delegate such permissions in active directory?

Hello All,

My first question on this forum,

Environment : 1 forest with root domain toto.org and three child domain  apac.toto.org, emea.toto.org and nsca.toto.org, DC on Windows 2008 R2 SP2 up to date,  forest and domain functionnel level 2003, FW on DC  domain networks OFF

ADMT server  Windows 2008 R2 SP2, member of domain emea.toto.org,  Admt 3.2 , FW domain network OFF, IPv6 disable by registry

I can migrate Users between APAC and NCSA, but when i want migrate Users between APAC/EMEA or NCSA/EMEA i have this message :

2013-01-08 10:15:03 ERR2:7422 Failed to move source object 'CN=TestUserAdmtUS'. hr=0x800706f7  The stub received bad data.

ADFS 2.0 "time window" configuration question

We have problems with ADFS SSO to a cloudservice, it seems like their clock/time sometimes is "earlier" that ours and we get an error:

Assertion condition was not fulfilled 2013-01-08T15:19:15.393+01:00 must not be before 2013-01-08T14:19:15.814Z, issueInstant in assertion = 2013-01-08T14:19:15.814Z

Sometimes it works and sometimes not...

Is there a way to configure ADFS to be more "forgiving" or if not, make set the ADFS servers clocks at -x seconds/minutes?

Not sure if the above qustions would be a good solution... any sugestions would be very welcome!

Advice on AD design

$
0
0

hi there,

I've been asked to look into our current AD design. We currently have 200 users across 4 physical sites. There is one domain.

As the business is project based the sites are increased and decreased in line with what contracts were are working on. we are also looking to acquire some other companies and potentially also sell of some business units.

Our current sites are linked by 100mb lines

In short we are looking for a flexible design. Would it be worth creating different domains in the forest for the branch office sites and any new acquired sites?

I appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks,

Al

Hi,

I would like to create a new object in my active directory. I can create it via 

mmc->Schema Console->Classes(Right Click)->New Class

and add attributes to it by Right click (Created class) -> Properties.

But how do I create object of that type of class/object in Active Directory via ADUC ? 

Should I write a vb script and add it via ADSI Edit->Configurations->displaySpecifiers-> ?

Windows 7 and AD LDS

$

Hello

I have installed the AD LDS for windows 7 and I was following this tutorial: AD LDS Getting Started Step-by-Step Guide

But when I try to connect to the instance with the ADSI Editor I get the following error:

Operation failed: Error code: 0x20d6

No superior reference has been configured for the directory service. The directory service is therefore unable to issue referrals to objects outside this forest.

I tested it on a windows server 2008 R2 and it works but on windows 7 it doesn't.

There is only one instance and no forest, so the error is misleading, I tried upper and lower case, to add and remove parameters but nothing.

I can connect to the service with the configuration, rootds and schema but when I try to set a name I get always the same exception.

I have googled it but I didn't find anything useful, somebody has any idea?

Thanks

ADMT migration AD exchange attributes

$

Hi, would appreciate some claification on AD exchange attributes please. I am about to embark upon a AD and exchange migration.

I have a test environment with test accounts and test mailboxes. I am using ADMT to migrate users with SID history allowing access to resources in the old domain.

I am reading that in order to attach the migrated exchange mailbox to the already migrated AD account I must not migrate the exchange attributes in ADMT when the user goes across.

I just do not have a definitive up to date (Exchange 2010) list of these attributes to exclude in ADMT.

I do not want to migrate the attributes and then use ADModify to clean things up.

Can someone please help me and give me a definitive list rather than point me to a website that lists all the attributes and their function/purpose? (If its not to cheeky to ask?)

Much appreciated.

Regards
Nathan

Link for branch down - AD

$
0
0

Hello all,

I have AD running Windows 2000 !!...(upgrading sooon..;-). I have several branches....whereby in each branch i have a DC. PDC is in the main office.

sometimes we encounter issues over the network whereby the link between the main office and one of our branches is down. This affect the operations, business...etc because users are not able to login on their PCs using their domain credentials.

I want that when the link is down (bet the main and branch)...users are still able to authenticate and login using their domain credentials.

When the issue occurs, i have tested the followings in one branch:

- From a PC (either XP or Win 7) in the branch, PING the PDC in the main office = TIMEOUT, it's expected as the link is down.

- From a PC in the branch, PING the DC in the branch office, = reply OK from ping.

- I have checked the DNS entries on the PCs, it's ok. that the primary is the DC in the branch and alternate is the DNS server in the main office.

How to resolve this? that is allow the users to login/authenticate via the DC in the branch office when the link bet the branch and the main office is down.

Enabling Cache Logon will resolve this issue?? that enabling cache logon for the PC in the branches.

Great to help asap...

Whether the backup domain controller contains MD5 checksum data to source the Sysvol tree

Hi,

I'm documenting a procedure to do a system state backup of our 2003 Domain.  During that process I've run into a question as to how to name the backup .bkf file.   The following Microsoft Article Documents this at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785766(v=ws.10).aspx

For naming the bfk file, one of the considerations is to know

Whether the backup domain controller contains MD5 checksum data to source Sysvol Tree.

Does anyone know how or where I would go about where to check this setting in Active Directory?  Is is visible on a Domain Controller?

Thanks,

I tried to raise the forest level, getting another error message ie. 1. Widows 2003 server : you cannot raise he domain fnctional level because this domain includes active dictory domain contrllers that are not running the appropriate version of windows.

2. You cannot raise the forest functional level. Either this forest includes Active Directory Domain Controlers that are not runing the appropriate version of windows, or one or more domains are still t windows 200 mixed fuctional level

Please give me stepsto resolve this problem.

Which Computer Object attribute can tell me when the object was placed in an OU?

$

Hello,

Its there an attribute of the Computer object in AD which can tell us when the object was 'placed' in a OU?  When-Created and CreateTimeStamp indicates the date the object was created, so this would help when an object is first placed in an OU, but if the object is moved to a different OU and back to the original OU, these attributes would not help.  Any suggestions?


Thanks for your help! SdeDot

DNS/Group Policy Issue

My organization is having an issue with GPO application which is possibly caused by DNS. Most Directory activity seems to be working fine but group policy is failing to apply on some machines and I have also seen a few other oddities (ADFS 2.0 webpage is not accessible.) The issue was first noticed on our Terminal Servers when ever a policy refresh was attempted. I have run DCDiag on each machine and repadmin /showrepl and have found no problems. All SRV records are in place. Below is an example of one of the events recorded on a Terminal Server:

Password policy is active but .......

Hi

In our company domain, we have implemented password policy for particular group.In the password policy , password should not expire setting is set.And found the same policy is effective for the users in that group but when we check through command prompt by executing netuser /dom abc where in this instance abc is the username ,in the command prompt it is listed that the password expires on some date.

when we check the user account abc in the dc , the password never expires tab in the properties of the particular user account is not greyed out

We are sure that this group is having the particular password policy implemented and found working too.But why in the command prompt it is listed that the password expires?

Please help me in getting the facts.
