Hi all,



Just wondering if any of you have
done this and would be so kind to forward it to me before I go and re code it,
I need to run a report against my Windows NT4 domain (PDC or BDC) and retrieve
all the users that have RAS options i.e. they are allowed to dial in.

2003-01-15 Thread Carlos Magalhaes








I think you can, if you download the SDK for ADSI 2.5 you get a DLL
ADRAS.dll there is an example in vb6 that allows you to set/give a user Ras
properties, and there is a vb6 example of a user manager when you click on the
user it allows you to see his/her user properties.



I will look further into this dll, if I find something I will post it.
In the mean time if anyone has something like this where I can see the code ...



Tony thank you for the link it has helped me!

RE: [ActiveDir] User's Account Locked out Every morning

2003-01-15 Thread Soloweszyk, Phillip
Kevin,

Is the user working via Pass Through Authentication?  I had a temporary user
whose laptop was a member of another domain (non-trusted) using resources in
a domain via Pass Through Auth like accessing his Exchange Mailbox through
Outlook and File Shares.  The domain his laptop was not a member of would
lock his account with no errors in any of the event logs, no reported failed
auth attempts.

Unfortunately, the only resolution I found was to change the domain
membership of his laptop, problem solved.

Kindly,

Phillip

Re: [ActiveDir] User's Account Locked out Every morning

2003-01-15 Thread Tony Murray
There could a number of reasons for this.  A good way to find out additional 
information is to use the Account Lockout Status utility from Microsoft.  I believe 
this is only currently available directly from Microsoft PSS, but will be available in 
future resource kits.

Basically, the way it works is you give it a username and it polls each DC in the 
domain for information, including User State, Bad Pwd Count, Last Bad Pwd, 
Lockout Time, Orig Lock, etc.

Also could be custom service developed by someone and they used their
userid/password for the credentials for the service.

I am asked periodically to investigate the cause of this and I search the
domain controllers security logs for 539 and 644 events.  Part of the
message field in the events is the workstation name involved.  You'll
likely find more than one machine involved.  One of them will be the
machine with the out of data password being used for the manual drive map
or login with old password, etc...

They're fairly easy to resolve as long as you're logging, even with 100+
domain controllers.

[ActiveDir] Justications to Migrate to Active Directory

2003-01-15 Thread Clifford Airhart
I am currently compiling information and trying to find good justifications
to migrate our Windows NT base network to Active Directory. We are a medium
size company. We don't have any direct requirements to implement AD, like we
must upgrade to Exchange2000(which requires AD). I can see a few benefits,
but my management wants to see quantified justifications. For example, by
migrating to AD you can save 1 hour in setting up a new user with RIS.

Does anyone know I good website that would show time saved or something more
concrete and specific than Microsoft's marketing jargon?

Has anyone gone through a similar experience with their company?

I would appreciate your insights and advice!!!  Thanks!!!

From a ROI and support point of view  I would be sure to mention
that after 12/31/03 MS will no longer provide support for NT4.0 and push them
along with the suggestion that it would be better to have 2K up and running
well for a while (in a mixed mode environment) before the cut your strings (as
far as support goes).



Just a suggestion.



There are many other reasons besides AD (which is a good enough reason)

More stable, quicker, etc etc

RE: [ActiveDir] Justications to Migrate to Active Directory

2003-01-15 Thread Roger Seielstad
Add to that the fact that Exchange 5.5 is end of support at the same time,
and its pretty much a no brainer.

 I think that the link below says it all:

 I am currently compiling information and trying to find good
 justifications to migrate our Windows NT base network to Active
 Directory. We are a medium size company. We don't have any direct
 requirements to implement AD, like we must upgrade to 
 Exchange2000(which
 requires AD). I can see a few benefits, but my management wants to see
 quantified justifications. For example, by migrating to AD 
 you can save
 1 hour in setting up a new user with RIS.
 
 Does anyone know I good website that would show time saved or 
 something
 more concrete and specific than Microsoft's marketing jargon?
 
 Has anyone gone through a similar experience with their company?
 
 I would appreciate your insights and advice!!!  Thanks!!!

I don't know if this will be of any importance, but I have seen several
instances where windows 2000 is much more stable than NT4.  Case in
point, I was working for a defense contractor and we had 5 mail
servers(exch. 5.5) and they notoriously went down.  If we didn't reboot
the servers once a week, they would go down.  We took one of the lower
tasked servers(500 users) and put it on windows 2000 and didn't have to
reboot it for a month and it was still running like a champ.

  Cliff,
  
  I think that the link below says it all:
  
  http://microsoft.com/ntserver/ProductInfo/Availability/Retiring.asp
  
  No more support for NT4 after the end of this year.

  Subject: [ActiveDir] Justications to Migrate to Active Directory
  
  
  I am currently compiling information and trying to find good 
  justifications to migrate our Windows NT base network to Active 
  Directory. We are a medium size company. We don't have any direct 
  requirements to implement AD, like we must upgrade to 
  Exchange2000(which requires AD). I can see a few benefits, but my 
  management wants to see quantified justifications. For example, by 
  migrating to AD you can save 1 hour in setting up a new user with 
  RIS.
  
  Does anyone know I good website that would show time saved or
  something more concrete and specific than Microsoft's marketing 
  jargon?
  
  Has anyone gone through a similar experience with their company?
  
  I would appreciate your insights and advice!!!  Thanks!!!

YOu may also wanna take a look at installing 
the AD client on the 98 systems. I have read on this in a while, but I think

For only 3 systems you can put a LMHOST file on each to take care of 
the name resolution. The LMHOST needs a line like:

192.168.10.50hostmaneOfDomainController#PRE 
#DOM:DomainName

You alos need to run dsclient.exe on each 9x system.
