RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site
One instance I can think of is Exchange 2000...the ADC (Active Directory Connector) shows up in a folder called Exchange Settings which appears under a Server object in the Servers container for a site. In our case, the Exchange 2000 Server is not a DC, so the Server object has no NTDS settings object under it. That's one case where just enumerating the server objects under a site would show servers that are not DCs; I'm betting there will be a lot more as more services are AD-enabled.

RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site
Title: Message (a) when someone manually creates one through the UI or propgrammatically (b) when some application decides to use the Site/Server/Settings architecture for its own purposes. This is not only possible but likely, for example for FRS, Exchange, SQL and other products and services that perform replication and want to be Site aware. My point is that you cannot assume that a Server object represents a DC. That is why they are called "Server" objects, not "Domain Controller" oobjects. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robbie AllenSent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 9:36 AMTo: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site So when/why would that ever happen? -Original Message-From: Steve Judd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 9:12 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site Nothing stops you from creating server objects in a site, and there is no guarantee that the server objects found in a Site container represent DC's. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robbie AllenSent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 11:37 PMTo: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site When are there anything but DCs defined under a site (i.e. server object)? -Original Message-From: Steve Judd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 10:45 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site Do a subtree search of the DS in the site of interest for NTDS-Settings objects.

[ActiveDir] Auto Logon
How do you set auto login on a w2k member server.( Where you don't have to type a password upon reboot) I set the old registry setting that worked for 4.0, but with no success.
