[ActiveDir] GPO's in W2K AD setup with XP clients

2002-07-18 Thread Abbiss, Mark

Dear All,

I am planning to use GPO's to control a number of XP clients in a W2K AD
setup. Currently we have no GPO's, other than the default domain policy. I
have imported the .ADM files from XP into a W2K DC and want to use the
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System Restore options to
control who can and cannot restore their system.

The default behaviour is to allow everyone the ability to use system restore
but when attempting it on a workstation, I am confronted with the message
that tells me I do not have sufficient security privilages. If the defualt
behaviour is set to allow restore throughout the domain, where does this
security issue come from ?

I thought perhaps it might be the Computer Configuration local security
settings, so to test I added the group Everyone to all of the various local
security settings.

When I tried again to restore the system I got a new message saying that
system restore is not able to protect the computer and to restart the system
and try restore again !!

How can I use GPO's and System Restore in my environment !?!?!

Many thanks,

Mark

2002-07-18 Thread Tony Murray

Mark

You must have either Administrator or Backup Operator permissions on the computer to 
perform a restore.  

I could be wrong, but I believe the GPO setting makes the restore option available, 
but it does not confer the necessary rights.

RE: [ActiveDir] Educating users on proper AD use ;-)

2002-07-18 Thread Robbie Allen
Title: Message



There 
are a couple options although neither may be ideal.

First, 
you can go to Start - Search - For Files or 
Folders
At the 
bottom of the left pane is "Search for other items:" and underneath that is a 
link for "Computers"

Second 
is after you browse to the domain as you mentioned below, right click on the 
domain and select "Find".
You 
can then save the search by selecting File - Save Search
Problem with this option in its default state is that it executesa 
search whenopened (even if no criteria are entered).

Ibelieve both of these options can be customized to some extent, 
but I haven't seen any documentation on it.

  [ActiveDir] Educating users on proper AD use ;-)
  Hello 
  I understand that Microsoft wants users to get 
  away from Network Neighborhood and start using features of Active 
  Directory. In most of the books that I have there is mention of this 
  and that "eventually" you won't have to use Network Neighborhood and 
  broadcast based browsing will go away. But what will replace 
  it? I want to turn it off across my officespace so I have no NBT 
  broadcast browsing. 
  I'm at a crossroads where I've just setup a 
  native AD and want to use it "properly" and get users to make a 
  behavioral change when accessing resources. So far I'm familiar with 
  the standard My Network Places - Entire Network - Entire Contents 
  - where there is then a choice for "Microsoft Windows Network" and 
  "Directory - AD Domain" Double clicking this shows you all 
  your OrgUnits but is this something you really want your users to 
  see? Seems way to confusing and I'd rather not having them poking 
  around looking at who my DCs are!. The alternative of course is to 
  right click on your AD domain and choose "Find" which is better but most 
  users will never figure this out. Is there a more direct way of 
  acessing this utility? So I could use a GP to put it on all desktops 
  or something. I'm so tired of browsing :-(

I think this is best done as part of the login script.  You can use the
following command as part of the login script:

net localgroup administrators mydom\mygroup /add

or use an ADSI script as part of your login script.

I believe it is also possible to set the group membership using Group

throw out any other groups that may have been added by other processes, e.g.

RE: [ActiveDir] Group into local admin at domain join

2002-07-18 Thread Tony Murray

Robert,

When you say, this does not append, what are you referring to?

a) net localgroup method.  I disagree, this does an append.
b) GPO method.  I agree, this does a replace.  This was the point I was trying (albeit 
not very clearly) to make.

BTW, as Byron pointed out earlier, if using the net localgroup or ADSI method the 
startup script should be used and not the login script.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Sort of OT: other Protocols


I have an Isolated environment that runs SQL 2000 and Windows 2000 Servers.
This environment experienced problems the other day because of a lack of
name resolution between the Servers.
I was asked by management to look at netbeui as a backup incase standard
TCPIP name Resolution failed...
Here is what I have set up...
On each machine I have 2 Nic's, 1 nic on each machine is dedicated to IP and
1 Nic is dedicated to NetBeui.

Does anyone see any issues with this?

Not answering the question, but if that's the problem and you can get around
it with NetBEUI, why not use the IP addresses of the machines instead of the

[ActiveDir] LDAP failover/load balancing

2002-07-18 Thread Fugleberg, David A

We have some J2EE application servers which we have configured to authenticate via 
LDAP against our Active Directory.  The configuration of the app server allows only 
one LDAP server to be specified.  If that one DC were to fail, the app servers would 
be unable to find the directory even though we have many other DCs in the domain.  I 
desperately want to put some failover solution in place before that happens.

Are any of you facing similar situations ?  What products or techniques are you using 
to get around the issue ?  I'm thinking either some kind of hardware load balancer 
(like cisco's product) or some kind of an LDAP proxy on another box.  Although I've 
seen it work in the lab, I don't wish to upgrade the DCs to W2K-AS just to get NLB for 
this.

Any suggestions ?

[ActiveDir] AD and NDS

2002-07-18 Thread John Hicks/MIS/HQ/KEMET/US

We are in the process of migrating our NT 4 domain to AD. We currently use NDS as our primary directory service. We are using Account Manager to migrate our users and computer accounts into the AD domain form the NT 4 domain. We experienced problems getting IDs created in Novell Console 1 and MMC console to populate the changes in the other directory. Has anyone gone through this process yet? If so, do you have any tips or resources for info on the subject. Both Novell and Microsoft have docs, but they both just bash teh others product. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you say, this does not append, what are you referring to?

a) net localgroup method.  I disagree, this does an append.
b) GPO method.  I agree, this does a replace.  This was the point I was
trying (albeit not very clearly) to make.

BTW, as Byron pointed out earlier, if using the net localgroup or ADSI
method the startup script should be used and not the login script.

I think this is best done as part of the login script.  You can use the
following command as part of the login script:

net localgroup administrators mydom\mygroup /add

or use an ADSI script as part of your login script.

I believe it is also possible to set the group membership using Group
Policy.  The drawback (or advantage) of this approach is that the GPO will
throw out any other groups that may have been added by other processes, e.g.
SMS.

Hi All,

I don't know if this possible :-

I would like another group added to the local administrator group of PC's
when they are joined to the domain, i.e. as the Domain admin group is
automatically added. It would be even better if this could be done at an OU
level...

Any ideas?

RE: [ActiveDir] New AD announced for web apps.

2002-07-18 Thread Robbie Allen

Stuart Kwan had mentioned this was coming at the Directory Experts
Conference in May.  Ultimately I think it could be a good thing if Microsoft
starts to treat AD as a separate product instead of just an add-on to
Windows 2000/.NET.  I don't see the benefit to what they are saying about
needing to set-up an entire operating system environment as is now
mandated.  You can setup standalone AD servers that act as LDAP servers
today.  Perhaps they can limit the DNS requirements, but other than that it
still has to go on a Windows OS.  I think this has a lot to do with the
perception of AD as a NOS-only directory and not a true competitor to Sun or
Novell in the app space.

The big issue using AD as a standalone LDAP server (as Stuart explained at

authentication through Kerberos, generation of Win32 security tokens, SIDs
appearing in ACLs, etc. ADAM removes these ties as I understand it.

So this would allow you to use a different security solution like say
Netegrity or Oblix for SSO type applications.  In addition with MMS X you
could create public views of your PKI enabled users and make them LDAP
accessible without exposing a DC or GC.

For us, the more operations we can standardize on 2K .NET platforms the
better.

2002-07-18 Thread Robbie Allen

iNetOrgPerson is supported fully in .NET ;-)  Have you seen studies where AD
is much slower than iPlanet/ONE, eDirectory or OpenLDAP in terms of bind
time?  I've heard varying reports.

In my experience, I believe the bigger issues are when you try to
consolidate your NOS and enterprise app directory into one.  The two are
largely not compatible in terms of requirements (e.g. multi-domain vs flat).

 iNetOrgPerson and performance. Some apps can't deal with the 
 default AD schema and doing a simple bind that only does a local

RE: [ActiveDir] New AD announced for web apps.

2002-07-18 Thread Gil Kirkpatrick

I'm just recalling what Stuart described as the drivers for ADAM at the DEC.
IIRC, Novell's comparison between AD indicated that eDir was much faster at
binds than AD, but I wouldn't want to put a lot of credence in that
evaluation :)

I also think that you will be able to partition ADAM arbitrarily, ignoring
domain boundaries, much like you can with eDir. Although that probably is
not interesting to most standalong dir implementations.

iNetOrgPerson is supported fully in .NET ;-)  Have you seen studies where AD
is much slower than iPlanet/ONE, eDirectory or OpenLDAP in terms of bind
time?  I've heard varying reports.

In my experience, I believe the bigger issues are when you try to
consolidate your NOS and enterprise app directory into one.  The two are
largely not compatible in terms of requirements (e.g. multi-domain vs flat).

 iNetOrgPerson and performance. Some apps can't deal with the
 default AD schema and doing a simple bind that only does a local 
 password check is a lot quicker than issuing tickets, constructing tokens,
etc.

 Why is that an issue for running just a generic LDAP
 directory?  You can
 still do standard LDAP binds against it and each directory 
 has its own way
 for securing resources.

  The big issue using AD as a standalone LDAP server (as Stuart 
  explained at the DEC) has to do with AD's ties to the Win32 security 
  system... authentication through Kerberos, generation of Win32 
  security tokens, SIDs appearing in ACLs, etc. ADAM removes these 
  ties as I
 understand it.

  Stuart Kwan had mentioned this was coming at the Directory Experts
  Conference in May.  Ultimately I think it could be a good thing if 
  Microsoft starts to treat AD as a separate product instead 
 of just an
  add-on to Windows 2000/.NET.  I don't see the benefit to
 what they are
  saying about
  needing to set-up an entire operating system environment as is now 
  mandated.  You can setup standalone AD servers that act as LDAP 
  servers today.  Perhaps they can limit the DNS requirements, but
  other than that it
  still has to go on a Windows OS.  I think this has a lot to 
  do with the
  perception of AD as a NOS-only directory and not a true 
  competitor to Sun or
  Novell in the app space.
