NETLOGON Error 5783 on Exchange Server 2010 to Server 2008 R2 Domain

$

We have a simple domain, single forest and only one site.  I recently upgraded my DCs to Server 2008 R2.  We also have a single Exchange 2010 Standard server running on Server 2008 R2.

DC1 - 192.168.0.2
DC2 - 192.168.0.3
Exchange - 192.168.0.4

Over the weekend I received the following Error on Exchange:

So far I cannot see anything that is affected by this problem.  However, I am concerned since this seems like a serious error.  There are no errors on either of my DCs, and DNS looks to be set up correctly.  Is there anything I can check, or will this lead to any future problems?

Thanks in advance.

Unable to promote server to domain controller

I am trying to promote a domain controller in Hyper-V Windows 2012, but I keep getting an error message "Verification of replicas failed.  An Active Directory Domain controller for the domain could not be found"

When will ADMT/PES be available for Windows Server 2012?

$
0
0

Having upgraded to Windows Server 2012 I would like to trash the AD and take users and their passwords across to a new domain.  The main reason for this is that the AD still has a load of hacks in it from Exchange 2007 to segregate address books.  I want to tidy things up ready for Exchange 2013 so I'm building a new domain.

To get the passwords across I need to run PES on the old domain with a key generated on the new domain.  ADMT 3.2 will not support this. 

So my question is when is ADMT 3.3 (guessing) and PSE for Win2012 going too be released?

DFS Data deletion

We have users complaining about missing files from 1 DFS share. Now that share is on Server A and replicated to Server B.

We have DFS referral disabled for Server B, which means any changes on shares are going to Server A in background.

We inspected ConflictAndDeletedManifest.Xml and below is some info from XML. Entire Xml file has time stamp of 12 hours for all files.

I have to deploy Active directory forest according to client requirement.

Root domain is going to be installed Chester brook (US) child domain will be installed Basingstoke (UK)

One more subdomain will be installed in Sydney (not a child domain, new domain in existing forest)

All the three office are connected with equal bandwidth.

I’m aware of schema and configuration partition will get replicated domain partitions will not be participated in replication.

My question in this situation

  1. How to configure the Active directory sites and services.
  2. How to configure the DNS for these 3 domains
  3. How to check the schema and configuration partition replication

Multiple A records for Domain Controller on AD integrated DNS Zone

$

Hi All,

We have two domains and single forest for our clients. Both the Forest and Domain functional levels are 2008 R2. Both the parent and chield domains are with AD integrated DNS zones. More then one Network adapters are configured on some of our DCs. Backup and Management IPs are configured on the same. During our regular DC health check reports we found that replication test to these DCs are failed (Those who has multiple NIC). We come to know that all the domain controllers are registered their static A records on their DNS zones. I understand that this is part of the Netlogon process of DC, however the issed DCs has registered 2  or 3 IPs for the same hostname on the DNS zones. When I deleted the other unwanted A records, it creates automatically after some time. I am not sure what is the cause and how can we avoid of Multiple host A record creation for the same Domain Controllers.

when migrating users from one forest to another I get the following error:-

This is migrating from a windows 2003 domain to a windows 2008 domain.



LDAP over SSL

A hosted service wants to authenticate against our AD.  They recommend using LDAPS.  What is best practice?  Install a public certificate on a DC.  For instance on DC1.contoso.com.  Then would I open up 443 on the firewall to that DC and allow from that IP? How would that affect other local LAN clients authenticating to that DC?

I am new to this though I work with Active Directory ans Win Server 2008 at the office

This is a home trial.

Judging from the text I read tge download should include Win Server 2003. However I cannot see an installation set for that purpose.

How can I join an Active Directory Domain without having to buy one?

Thank you in advance.

Prevent end users from browsing active directory from RDS servers

$

Hi all,

I am working on security compliance task that requires that users who connect to RDS servers not be able to browse active directory under any circumstances, and they showed me that the user can browse AD by going to print from any application and then click on find printer and then things get uglier from there until they can actually see the domain and the OUs and what not.

I disabled the find printer button with a GPO, but I am not sure this is enough, because I am sure there are lots of other ways for them to access to browse AD. I am still working on it and researching left and right but thought to post this question in hope of an expert on this matter to point me in the right direction to remediate this security matter.

Some info about the infrastructure:

All servers are windows server 2008 r2

Forest and domain functional level 2008 r2.

I really appreciate any help or comments.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

I have a problematic active directory currently installed and I need to establish a news dc and reconstruct the current objects in current active directory in it. Since the current AD has lots of problem I absolutely cannot relay on ADMT and use it and its procedures to move objects to new active directory. Is there another alternative to do the job?

Thanks in advance

Now I have to import the export of the groups with the members in change mode I belive. I have not have a asuccess with that. Can anyone give me the ldifde string fot thar and how the import file should look like?
Also, what would be your best practise in doing this? Domain names are like domain.local and testomain.local.
Thanks for any suggestions/help with this.

5719 NETLOGON Errors connecting to deleted child domain

I am getting 5719 errors on a DC.

This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain LOL  due to the following:

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. 

The domain they are refering to was forcibly deleted (no DCs were available to dcpromo/demote). I did it with NTDSUTIL metadata cleanup.

Also went into DNS and removed all references. I must have missed something. Any ideas where?

today i found this event on my server:

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica root path has changed from "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" to "c:\windows\sysvol\domain". If this is an intentional move then a file with the name NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT needs to be created under the new root path.

This was detected for the following replica set:

    "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"

what should i do with this? Should i be worried?

Using two wsFederation realms on one website

$

I am familiar with some ADFS stuff and have onboarded and used a few sites but this is a totally new subject for me.

I have two Microsoft ADFS sites with urn Realms that I need to be in one web project. The first site is something like https://mydomain.com and the second site is https://sub.mydomain.com.

I know I can set one up as a subdomain and I have the hosts names set up correctly. But every time I try to go to any pages using the sub-domain it gives me 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials error. Or the site will redirect to the realm I have in the web.config with passifRedirectEnabled

The page works perfectly fine when i dont add the subdomain to the hostnames and I have both sites on-boarded with corp ms stuff.

I have added both the urn values to the web.config file I am just not sure what else I need to add in the web.config file or config files to make this 401 access error go away and authentication still work.

I am sure there is similar articles to this I just am unable to find them. I would be very much thankful if someone could point me in the right direction
