Hi ppl,

I have a Security Group SG1. I add User1 to SG1 and provide read access to a share folder. 
I have a Distribution Group DG1. I add User2 to that group.
What will happen if i add the DG1 as a member of SG1. Will the User2 be able to access the share folder?

Trouble creating Forest Trust between Windows 2000 Forest and Windows 2012 Forest

$

I've got an old AD that I am attempting to transition off of. I am attempting to establish a two-way transitive trust between the new (Windows 2012) forest running on Windows Server 2012, and the old (Windows 2000) forest running on Windows Server 2003 R2.

Both DCs are running their own DNS servers. Both DCs can ping each other, can nslookup the other domain.

The 2012 DC was able to establish the trust on its side without issue. When I attempt to create the trust on the 2003 R2 side, after providing the NETBIOS name for the new domain, it gives me the following error:

"The Local Security Authority is unable to obtain an RPC connection to the domain controller BMUSJAXDC01. Please check that the name can be resolved and that the server is available."

UDP port 389 is LISTENING

After spending all day reading umpteenth threads on RPC connectivity issues, I'm kind of running out of ideas. It seems like the old DC can make the RPC connection to the new DC, but a variety of things just kick back what essentially equates to "Access Denied". When I attempt to access the network share from the old DC to the new DC, all I get is:

bmusjaxdc01 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network name cannot be found.

I've disabled all the firewalls on the 2012 Server (domain, private and public), but it seems like something (group policy?) on the new DC is preventing specific connections, hence the variety of errors. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Active Directory role did not install correctly on Server 2012

Hi, I'm fairly new to windows servers so I may have not explained things correctly....

I've installed the AD role on a new server and selected to create a new forest and domain. The process completed and the expected warnings came up. The server rebooted and I logged onto the newly created domain ("X.local"). I then set the DHCP scope which also installed without any errors.

The problem is that when I went into the Active Directory Users and computers an error came up "Naming information cannot be located because: The specified domain either does not exist ir could not be contacted". No default folders appear here and an 'X' symbol is next to the AD Users and Computers icon.

When accessing the AD Adminstrative Centre the following error occurs "Warning - Cannot connect to any domain. Refresh or try again when connection is available."

When I ran the AD Domain Services Configuration Wizard again to see if there is anything I may have missed an error shows "Error determining the target server is already a domain controller: The domain controller promotion completed, but the server is not advertising as a domain controller."

On DNS I could not sign the zone. Also the folders 'DomainDnsZones' and 'ForestDnsZones' do not exist.

The DHCP appears to be fine.

I tried to remove all roles and start again but I cannot remove the domain. Can you please help me through the steps to resolve the issues.


Kind regards Sunny Pawar

Retrieve Domain Admins Members of every domains in the forest; and Enterprise Admin

Hi ,

I have edited my first post, so Mike answer is no more appropriated (sorry Mike).

Is there a way to programatically retrieve the Schema Admins Members and the domain Admin members of every domain in my forest ?

I dont want to enter manually the basedn of each ones; and moreover if there is a group that is member of the Domain Admins group, I would like to retrieve the members of these groups too.

Is there an easy way to do that ?

(At the beginning, I was using EnumGroup.vbs, from this website : http://www.rlmueller.net/List%20Members%20of%20a%20Group.htm)

Thank you

Install Domain Controller from backup media when DC is down

Is it possible to use "dcpromo /adv"  install from media option of a Windows 2003 Domain Controller on a new Windows 2008 computer?  I have the System Backup backup available from the Windows 2003 server.  

However, the 2003 domain controller is *DEAD* and I can not verify credentials of that domain.

Is it possible to install a new replica domain controller from the backup media and get the domain back up and functioning?

Many thanks.

Manual Account Sync Between Two Domains

$

I have a challenge to one way sync accounts between two 2008 AD domains in separate forests. I only need to sync giveName, DisplayName, sn (surname) and sAMAccountName.

I need to do this without spending additional money or installing any user agents (i.e. FIM, Quest, etc).

I have an account domain A and a resource domain B, I need to ensure that any name changes, additions and (to a lesser extent) deletions are reflected in domain B. I'm planning on using CSVDE or LDIFDE to export the account information from domain A and into domain B. I'm looking at using a unique identifier in domain A such as the GUID or SID to import into domain B (possibly in a custom field). I'll then be able to use this field to periodically run a Powershell script to check for changes between accounts.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a better way of doing this\has done this already.

Thanks

Hi,

We have a mix of 2003/2008 R2 DC's. We are experiencing the following issue :

AD accounts that have been set up to never expire are expiring. Seems that users were contractors now permanent or are contractors. When looking at these accounts on the "account" tab on AD the account is showing to expire on the 24/1/2013 Although expiry is ticked to "never" and the date is greyed out, it seems as though it has still
used this date to expire. Users are getting an error message when logging into the PC "Account has expired".

Windows Server 2008 Standard R2 64 bits - NAT Features

$

Hi all, have a great day!

Have a couple questions want to ask regarding to the NAT features in Windows Server 2008 Standard R2:

-Many to One, so NAT can map how many connected nodes to One? Any limitation of the number of nodes are being mapped?

-What is the throughput? Let said if got 1000 nodes are being mapped to NAT. Will it slow down the server processing power performance?  

-Does it involve any licensing stated that one windows server 2008 standard license can use up 500 nodes for NAT mapping? Or is unlimited nodes can be mapped?

Hopefully through this community can get the clear answers.

Thanks

Error – SAML Single Logout request does not correspond to the logged-in session participant

We are relatively new to ADFS, having set up working rp-trusts with three partners in the last few months.  Our 4th partner is proving problematic.  Single sign in works, but the ADFS responds the single logout request from the RP with a status of Requester.  The ADFS event log shows

The SAML Single Logout request does not correspond to the logged-in session participant.

Requestor: https://test-sso.rp.com/fed/sp

Request name identifier: Format: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent, NameQualifier: http://fs.idp.com/adfs/services/trust SPNameQualifier: https://test-sso.rp.com/fed/sp, SPProvidedId:

This request failed.

User Action

Verify that the claim provider trust or the relying party trust configuration is up to date. If the name identifier in the request is different from the name identifier in the session only by NameQualifier or SPNameQualifier, check and correct the name identifier policy issuance rule using the AD FS 2.0 Management snap-in.

 

The LogoutRequest looks like this

The session index and the username in NameID matches the Response we got from our AuthRequest.  I don't know how to figure out what ADFS thinks does not match.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

For completeness sake, the Response to AuthRequest looked like this.

dcdiag, windows firewall and ICMP

$

i'm confused, i have a new domain controller set up with windows firewall enabled - just default configuration nothing's changed.

windows firewall blocks ICMP, however dcdiag on a member server complains that it can't ping the DC.

what's the deal, should ICMP be enabled on the firewall by default, or not? how does one do this on windows firewall? it's not possible to disable the ICMP-blocking rules since 'This rule has been applied by the system administrator'.

repadmin /bridgeheads show many sites without a bridgehead server

Not sure if I should be worried about this, but when I run repadmin /bridgeheads it shows only about half of our 80 some odd sites have a bridgehead server. Or maybe I'm reading the output wrong?

I am doing this to check: repadmin /bridgeheads | Select-String "Bridgeheads for site"

I only get 41 lines back out of about 80 sites

We do not have any preferred bridgehead servers set. Does this warrant concern or am I just missing something?
