Moving servers from Domain B to Domain A. Domain migration for servers

July 28, 2016, 1:30 pm

Here's the scenario:-

We owing a Domain A have acquired a new company with Domain B.
We need to now migrate their servers from Domain B to our Domain A.

The catch is new user ID's have already been created for the required users in Domain A for the corresponding users in Domain B. 
So now they have 2 ID's one in each domain.
Note that these ID's have been created newly on Domain A & not migrated from Domain B to Domain A

Now I'm just confused how to migrate the servers from Domain B to Domain A without breaking the application or changing the Security permissions.
I believe ideally first all the users/groups should have been migrated from Domain B to Domain A so post that servers can be migrated & that should retain the permissions as is.

But if I migrate the users/groups from Domain B now. It's gonna clash with already created ID's in Domain A.
And If I migrate the servers without first migrating the users/groups, it might break the application or users may loose the access when server is moved to new domain.

So how do I migrate these servers without breaking the application and users loosing the access?

Setup DFS, new AD site

Good morning all.

I would like to ask some questions, i am newer to DFS implementation.

I currently have one main site and a branch office, connected via VPN.

The WAN link often goes down or very very slow, so wo wold like to implement a DFS, with a node implemented on the branch office.

I cannot use the branchcache feature because the server in the main site is a 2008, not R2. I would like to know if I am on the right way.

First i will deploy the new server on the main site, join into the domain as a member and synchronize the data between the two servers.

After i will create the new AD site, bring the new server at the branch office, make it a domain controller and create the DFS structure and replication.

Is this procedure correct?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Luca

HOW TO RE INSERT A SECONDARY DOMAIN CONTROLLER AFTER A CRASH

Hi Everyone,

Recently i got an issue with my domains controllers. In my compagny we got 2 domain controllers ( 1 is the principal and 1 is the secondary).

DC1 and DC2

DC1 gets all FSMO rôles . 

DC2 is the secondary controler .

I got my DC2 got hardware crash and so i have to re install a new  machine with windows 2008  enterprise server.With the same Ip adress and the same NETBIOS Name.

SO my questions are  :

1)-Is that possible to promote "DCPROMO" this new machine with the same netbios name and the same Ip adress than the broken machine (i mean the second domain controller)?

2)-Do there is a connexion between SSID of the machine and and the domain controler? I mean once a serveur is promote to DC , the site and service active directory will keep the SSID of this machine in his database?

3) What  will be the procedure to promote the new machine as a DC? and shall i clean the AD?

Thanks in advance for yours answers .

Kind regards

Any suggestions for a dedicated OU for Security Groups in AD (Role based access)

July 29, 2016, 8:11 pm

I'm trying to think of an easy way without being over-complicated, to organize OU in AD to manage security groups.
Here's what I'm looking at now:

Then other OU's not nested that are for Departments/users/computers. 

Does anyone else organize similar to that?
The idea of Groups > Access > File > Servers, would be that I create a security group called something like "ACL_Server1_inetpub_write", and then add that group to have write access to C:\inetpub on "Server1".
Versus giving a user local Admin rights entirely to Server1
Then I could have a Role Group called "Server1 Web Editors", which would be a member of ACL_Server1_inetpub_write.
Am I over-complicating Role Based Access, given this idea, OU structure and naming convention?
I got the idea from this video "Role-Based Management Extreme Makeover for Active Directory"

Hi,

I was planing to use ADMT & Dell quest as a migration tool as ADMT 3.1 is not available & ADMT 3.2 does not support server 2000.

& the cost of Dell quest is very high so a balance of both will let me migrate with in the cost limits.

The client will be upgrading server 2000 after migration as project to project bases. I did not find any work around using both the tools & suggestion for migration.

PLEASE HELP!! DC Unable to open Active Directory?? Any Help appreciated.

July 31, 2016, 3:03 pm

Hi,

I currently have 3 Domain Controllers within my Domain. Each is located at a different site with a site-to-site VPN connecting them. DC1 and DC2 are able to replicate their DNS records and AD DS information fine. However, Domain Contoller 3 appears to be unable to do anything other than host DHCP role. 

When trying to open DNS MMC it comes up with a console asking me to 'Connect to a DNS Server' and when i click 'this computer' i get a message saying 'access is denied. Would you like to add it anyway?'. If i choose to add it anyway it opens the DNS MMC but DC3 has a red symbol over it looking like a 'no-entry' sign. Trying to do anything else appears to be greyed out and i only have 'Global Logs' and DNS Events under the tree.

In the events log i have error after error saying the following 'The DNS server was unable to open Active Directory. This DNS ever is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that AD is functioning properly and reload it. 

When opening Active Directory Administrative Centre i get an error message saying 'Cannot connect to any domain. Refresh or try again when connection is available.' 

I have been advised to demote this as a domain controller but when trying to do this i get 'An error occurred. DFS Replication: The target principal name is incorrect.'

Sorry to ramble on but i am really confused with this whole process. I am unable to gain access to the physical site so re-installing server 2012 from scratch is not an option for me. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have a requirement to apply the Accept Messages from permission on few of the distribution groups, but the ask is if the organizational structure is having few nested distribution groups as the members. How can we make sure that the permission shall be applied to the nested groups as well.

Scenario Example-

Distribution Group A - Can accept messages from AA User

Distribution Group B(Its a member of Distribution Group A) - Can accept messages from BB User

When, we send message to Distribution Group A from AA user, it won't be delivered to members of Distribution Group B even if it is a member of Distribution Group A.

Manuj Khurana
