In ADUC, I have the option of creating a new shared folder within a container. There appears to be no such option in ADAC. Since ADUC is being deprecated, it seems that all its functionality should be duplicated in ADAC. Am I just missing
a setting somewhere or is the option just not in ADAC ??

Domain GUID DNS registration conflict
My company has a mixed 2003/2008 AD environment whose FSMO roles are currently hosted on a 2003 DC. The 2008 DC's are reporting issues where entries for the domain GUID not resgistered in DNS. In actuality, they are registered in DNS, but it's registered under a different domain GUID. My concern is that I may have problems when I move the FSMO roles to one of the 2008 DC's and/or demote the 2003 DC's.
The dcdiag and BPA on the 2008 DC's are looking for this record:
_ldap._tcp.88ce7205-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8bf4bea37768.domains._msdcs.domain.com
In DNS, the following records are being registered by each DC (2008 and 2003):
_ldap._tcp.4702b1c2-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-2cc62ce567d1.domains._msdcs.domain.com
Best Practices Analyzer error:
Issue:
The "DcByGuid" DNS service (SRV) resource record that advertises this server as an available domain controller in the domain and ensures correct replication is not registered. All domain controllers (but not RODCs) in the domain must register this record.
Impact:
Other member computers and domain controllers in the domain or forest will not be able to locate this domain controller. This domain controller will not be able to provide a full suite of services.
Resolution:
Ensure that "DcByGuid" is not configured in the "DnsAvoidRegisteredRecords" list, either through Group Policy or through the registry. Restart the Netlogon service. Verify that the DNS service (SRV) resource record "_ldap._tcp.88ce7205-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8bf4bea37768.domains._msdcs.domain.com",
pointing to the local domain controller "2K8-DC1.domain.com", is registered in DNS.
[note: DcByGuid" is NOT configured in our "DnsAvoidRegisteredRecords" list]
dcdiag /test:dns result:
TEST: Records registration (RReg)

Error:
Missing SRV record at DNS server <IP of 2k8-DC1>:

Error:
Missing SRV record at DNS server <IP of 2k8-DC2>:
_ldap._tcp.88ce7205-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8bf4bea37768.domains._msdcs.domain.com
The 2003 servers don't report this error.
Also, when you go into ADSI Edit on any of the DC's and look at the attribute for objectGUID on the domain, the value shows up as the GUID that's missing from DNS.
Here are two others who have similar issues that are unsolved, and possibly need the same fix:

Is there a recommended structure for groups in Active Directory?
Hi,
I have a AD-structure where different organizational units are organized in its own OU with its users. My question is about how to organize security and distribution-groups in AD? Is it recommended to put the groups in the OU where it belongs or should it be placed in a common OU for all security-grops?
Example: If I have a security-group used for controlling access to a division-share, should the group be put on the divisions OU? I in a OU containing all security-groups? And the same question for distribution-groups. Any tips on this?

First RODC
Hi all
trying to put in my first 2008 R2 RODC in a 2008 R2 FFL and DFL network. I have a parent and child domain in the forest. I log onto the child domain on the server i want to promote with an account which have EA rights. All goes well until it starts to replicate DNS as it will be a DNS Server also. It then fails with error "the operation failed because ADDS could not replicate partition CN=Configuration, DC=<root domain>, DC=com from the remote AD DC <DC name of a DC in the child domain> "replication access was denied"
Has any of you seen this or can help as to why the replication process is failing - I would appreciate any help

Active Directory trouble on Windows 2003
I've noticed that my application behaves strangely when I work with Active Directory.
I have a distributed application in c #. NET 3.5 as follows:
Web Server - Application Server - AD Server
The problem apparently lies in the application server that is communicating with the Active Directory server.
An error occurs particularly when I´m setting user permissions on an object created by the application. The strange thing is that this error occurs randomly, sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not. The error message is:"(0x8007202F) The directory property
cannot be found in the cache" and the causing code is one frequently used to set permits and is contained in the following how to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899553/en-us
public static void SetPermissions(string containerDn, string UserName)
{
ADsSecurity objADsSec;
SecurityDescriptor objSecDes;
AccessControlList objDAcl;
AccessControlEntry objAce1;
AccessControlEntry objAce2;
Object objSIdHex;
ADsSID objSId;
objADsSec = new ADsSecurityClass();
objSecDes = (SecurityDescriptor)(objADsSec.GetSecurityDescriptor(containerDn));
objDAcl = (AccessControlList)objSecDes.DiscretionaryAcl;
objSId = new ADsSIDClass();
objSId.SetAs((int)ADSSECURITYLib.ADS_SID_FORMAT.ADS_SID_SAM, UserName);
objSIdHex = objSId.GetAs((int)ADSSECURITYLib.ADS_SID_FORMAT.ADS_SID_SDDL);
// Add a new access control entry (ACE) object (objAce) so that the user has Full Control permissions on NTFS file system files.
objAce1 = new AccessControlEntryClass();
objAce1.Trustee = (objSIdHex).ToString();
objAce1.AccessMask = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_RIGHTS_ENUM.ADS_RIGHT_GENERIC_ALL;
objAce1.AceType = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_ACETYPE_ENUM.ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED;
objAce1.AceFlags = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_ACEFLAG_ENUM.ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE | (int)ActiveDs.ADS_ACEFLAG_ENUM.ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ONLY_ACE | 1;
objDAcl.AddAce(objAce1);
// Add a new access control entry object (objAce) so that the user has Full Control permissions on NTFS file system folders.
objAce2 = new AccessControlEntryClass();
objAce2.Trustee = (objSIdHex).ToString();
objAce2.AccessMask = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_RIGHTS_ENUM.ADS_RIGHT_GENERIC_ALL;
objAce2.AceType = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_ACETYPE_ENUM.ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED;
objAce2.AceFlags = (int)ActiveDs.ADS_ACEFLAG_ENUM.ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE | 1;
objDAcl.AddAce(objAce2);
objSecDes.DiscretionaryAcl = objDAcl;
// Set permissions on the NTFS file system folder.
objADsSec.SetSecurityDescriptor(objSecDes, containerDn);
}
It must be cleared that the credentials running the code have got the administrative permissions, and as I mentioned before, sometimes it does not work and throws the error (0x8007202F).
For example if some users are created within organizational units and some other users are created in other OU this error does not occur. Take into consideration that the OUs and the users are always generated with the same credentials and execute the same
code.
A test I did was restarting the server in a test environment and the error did not occur for that OU.
However, in the production environment these problems still occur, beyond some eventual reset.
It is very strange for me... it seems to be a problem with the cache, since it stops happening when I restart, but later it happens again on another OU.
Suggestions?

Add DC to existing forest
Hi Guys,
Here is the scenario am facing:
We used to have two domain controllers for same domain, AD1 and AD2. Few months ago, AD2 was totally removed. FSMO roles were transferred to AD2. Everything is running smoothly on the network (GP, Logins, New users on AD, Exchange Services, etc...)
Now, we have a requirement to migrate AD2 a new server (AD3) running Windows 2008 R2. Here is the problem and some information:
- AD2 functional level is Windows 2003 (highest possible level)
- Metadata cleanup was used to remove AD1 from the sites.
- adprep /forestprep was executed on AD2 and result was "Forest-Wide information has already been updated"
- While running dcpromo on the new server to be AD3, we are having error that we need to run adprep /forestprep but we have executed it successfully many time.
Any ideas to be able to setup this new AD3 server?
Thank you,
Goldenberg

We've looked and a document described this error for AD Controllers using systems less than AD 2003 SP1. While this isn't a domain controller, we did check and all the DCs are later versions.
The server hosting AD LDS is an Windows Server 2K8 R2 box. The errors above apply when trying to add domain users to other roles such as administrators and occur regardless of what user is being added. We can add AD LDS user objects to these groups however. Notably this is the first attempt to update these roles membership since deployment, up until now we've just had the defaul admins we set at install using the service. Also, as far as I'm aware no special config was performed, the install was more or less a next -> next scenario. Post install we updated the schema for one object class, but the same configuration in test didn't exhibit any issues.
We've also checked the DNS and that appears to be resolving fine.
If anyone has any ideas it'll be greatly appreciated.

Importing users with PowerShell into Active Directory
Hi all,
well, two long days and nights long trying now - i give up for the moment. Adding multiple Users to Active Directory finally ended up at Corey Roth's Blog and his example script (thanks). Doesn't work yet, and i have reduced it to quite less "functionality" than i want to finally implement. Coming from "older" PowerShell scripts/commands to trying dsadd-commands (horrible to script/import/export) over Quest tools back to "clean" actual PowerShell. Seems like - i don't know, i'm helpless. And i'd really like to use the shell for doing many AD-stuff etc. And i also read many many posts. :\ Didn't end up successfully.
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Domaincontroller, actual patches, running nothing else. Script running in Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, (editing with Notepad++)
my script:
Import-CSV "c:\scripts\Content.csv" \foreach-object{ $userprincipalname = $_.SamAccountName + "@mydomain.de" New-ADUser -SamAccountName $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName $userprincipalname -GivenName $_.FirstName -Name $_.LastName -Displayname = "$_.FirstName" + "$_.LastName" -EmailAddress $_.mail -Title $_.title -OfficePhone $_.telephone -Department $_.Department -Path "OU=MY-OU,OU=Content,dc=corp,dc=mydomain,dc=net" -AccountPassword(ConvertTo-SecureString "x345Stro11nG" -AsPlainText -force) -Enabled$True -PasswordNeverExpires $True -PassThru }

To work around this issue, set the SysvolReady Flag registry value to "0" and then back to "1" in the registry. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- Locate the following subkey in Registry Editor: <samp>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
- In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
- Again in the details pane, right-click the SysvolReady flag, and then click Modify.
- In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
