[ActiveDir] why change password does not work over Internet

2003-10-27 Thread roseta








hi,


I have the script to change a password of a user with a LDAP server(AD)
on W2000. It works perfectly on the LAN. but when I
upload it to my site and connect to Internet and want to change my password. it gives me error Table does not exists. I do
not know why? any suggestion? Does it have to have any
certificate on server like SSL certificate? I do not know why but any clue
would be appriciated so I will check it and see all
the sides of this problem.



thanks in advance.

Does the internet server have access to the LDAP
server through Firewall rules? Im sure you looked at this already,
but probably worth looking at again

RE: [ActiveDir] why change password does not work over Internet

2003-10-27 Thread roseta








For making sure that this is not the problem. I have a RAS server
which is for test. I set the gateway to the router so no more behind firewall. And
also assigned the
LDAP server a valid IP and directed the gateway directly to router. So no body
behind firewall , I connected to Internet through my
RAS. And tried to connect to LDAP server. But I get
the error the table does not exists.



Thanks for your help.

Roseta.

[ActiveDir] windows 2000 authentication

2003-10-27 Thread Graham Turner
was wondering if any one could give us a heads up on how we prevent a
windows 2000 domain controller from authenticating a user logon request.

by comparison on an NT4 domain controller, the configuration of pausing
the netlogon service would prevent the DC from authenticating a user logon
request

i would guess that the same fix may apply to a win2k DC for an NTLM logon
request say from a downlevel (non Kerberos aware client) but am not sure
whether this would apply to a Kerberos logon request.

TIA

  I 
  thought you would think that was a good thought. But you have a good point to 
  counter that good thought. I should submit something, I wouldn't mind being in 
  the acknow. err wait a minute. How about this, people who are already in 
  it can submit something and pick one person to be removed from the 
  acknowledgements... Oh Rick :op
  
  Hmmm 
  what could I submit... Oh I know, something I had to do today really quick... 
  Find all OU's with any GPO link whatsoever...
  
  First off I wondered, is gplink in the GC?
  
  adfind -schema -f ldapdisplayname=gplink

  Gets 
  you 
  
  dn:CN=GP-Link,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=joehome,DC=comisMemberOfPartialAttributeSet:

  So 
  it sure is... This is easy!
  
  adfind -gc -b -f "(objectcategory=organizationalunit)(gplink=*)" 
  gplink
  
  On 
  my home domain that rips off in less than a second...

  Oh 
  ok, you now want to know what the nice name of those 
are...
  
  adfind -b 
  CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com

  I 
  don't recall those exact examples in the book. :op
  
  
  Can 
  anyone guess how often I use adfind in the course of a normal 
  workday?
  
  Me 
  neither. But I have wrapped it with a couple of batch files. 
  
  
  The 
  first is called findthis.cmd
  
  It 
  takes whatever I enter and basically does a
  
  adfind -gc -b -f name=%1 -dn
  
  I 
  also have a kids.cmd

Hey 
Rob,

What about this 
donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up with a great idea for 
additions to the next version of the cookbook.

Basically the 
submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work. 


They would be judge 
based on the following criteria.

The topic covered 
in AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points; 
new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
The issues 
identified within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets 
2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10)
The solutions that 
meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that 
gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify 
any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)

To make things 
interesting if it takes off, If one of the vendors (CoughNETPRO, 
CoughAELITA, Cough.Quest, Cough..BV) was willing to support this 
contest, it would be really interesting.

Just an Idea at 
1AM...

RE: [ActiveDir] Do you have a development (DEV) forest?

2003-10-27 Thread Roger Seielstad
Title: Message



Exactly. Having a test lab is critical for this kind of 
thing.

Worst 
case, a few copies of VMWare Workstation or GSX Server and some decent desktops 
would do nicely for a low volume lab environment. In fact, one of the 4 machines 
in my cube is basically dedicated as a VMWare host.

  PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: 
  [ActiveDir] Do you have a development (DEV) forest?
  We do not have a DEV forest, per se. We have a TEST 
  Lab in which anything that would affect AD would be tested before it can be 
  put into production. Our DEV staff does not do any level of programming 
  that would touch AD. They do not do any level of LDAP, GC lookups, ADO 
  connections to the AD, or Schema changes / looks / 
updates.
  
  Given what our DEV staff does, it would be a huge waste 
  of money for us to put them in their own forest. If they start to 
  develop AD integrated programs, we would likely reconsider as the risk to 
  potential schema problems is still too high, IMHO. Obviously, I'm not 
  going to give access to DEV to make changes to schema anyway, but if the 
  program needs to update schema, it's obviously going to need to be tested (in 
  our current 'waterfall' project management model - ineffective and pointless 
  as it is.) and the test lab is currently where that would 
  happen.
  
  If they feel that they require production access to 'eat 
  their own dog food', then we would have to reconsider. Likely, a DEV 
  forest would be implemented if the requirement changed to a Production-like' 
  system for DEV.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Do you have a development (DEV) forest?
  
  
  
  Hello!
  
  BACKGROUNDRecently,our Active Directory Team was asked 
  byexecutive management to 
  implement a development forest that very much mimics our production forest in 
  many ways. However, many of us struggle with this request because we're 
  afraid a development forest will incur more work and cost than 
  benefit. 
  QUESTIONSDo you have a 
  development (DEV) forest? 
  If yes,
  
How does DEV's size compare to PROD in terms of 
users, computers, domain controllers, domains, sites, gpo's? 
Do DEV admins support PROD too? 
How does DEV's SLA compare to PROD? 
How has DEV added-value to your company? 
Any stories to share? 
How current is DEV compared to PROD? 
Identical, one schema version behind, etc.? 
How does DEV's change control practices compare 
to PROD?
  If no, 
  
Is there a specific reason why you don't have a DEV forest? 
Did you havea DEV forest previously and tear it 
down? 
Are you considering a DEV forest at the present time?
  I appreciate any feedback you can share with 
  me.If you would prefer to discuss 
  in a telephone call, I'm willing to "phone a friend."

 Hey Rob,
 
  
 
 What about this donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up 
 with a great idea for additions to the next version of the cookbook.
 
  
 
 Basically the submissions have to follow the format of the book, and 
 have to work.
 
  
 
 They would be judge based on the following criteria.
 
  
 
 The topic covered in AD.  1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get 
 up to
 12.5 points; new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
 
 The issues identified within the topic 1-25 points.  (Each issue 
 identified gets 2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10)
 
 The solutions that meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 
 points.
 (Each need that gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. 
 Solutions
 should identify any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)
 
  
 
 To make things interesting if it takes off,  If one of the vendors 
 (CoughNETPRO, CoughAELITA, Cough.Quest, Cough..BV) was 
 willing to support this contest, it would be really interesting.
 
  
 
 Just an Idea at 1AM...

RE: [ActiveDir] why change password does not work over Internet

2003-10-27 Thread Coleman, Hunter



When you say "upload to my site," are you trying to set 
it up so that you can change a password through a web page? If so, the script is 
likely executing under the security context of the IUSR account of the web 
server, and the domain has no idea who that IUSR is. You can embed LDAP 
authentication into your script, or you can set up your web server so that the 
script will execute under the user's credentials.

Does the internet

Mike-
I'm assuming that when you talk about viewing Windows 
settings, you doing this against the GPO itself, rather than doing an RSoP 
logging report? If so, then you might want to verify that you don't have a 
problem with the permissions on the SYSVOL portion of that GPO, stored under 
SYSVOL\domain\policies\GUID of GPO.

Tried that. I get access denied when joining the

I even tried delegating, Change Password. 

Do you know a way to turn on logging or debugging to
find out what attempted action (when joining the
domain) is failing and causing the access denied?

 Joe,
 Thanks for the reply.
 The users are admins on the computer, thats not a
 problem.
 
 The problem we are having with delegating Write
 Account Restrictions, Write
 Service Principal Name, Write DNS Host Name and
 Reset Password perms is that
 the users/workstation techs can join a computer to
 the domain with the same
 name as a computer that already exists, thus
 disjoining the first computer. 
 We are looking to make is necesary that a Domain
 Admin reset the computer
 account before the users/workstation techs can join
 that computer.

RE: [ActiveDir] AD Object Perms

2003-10-27 Thread deji
  I want to allow a low level user to join a
 computer to the domain only
  when the computer account has been pre-populated
 as a new account or
  the account has been reset in the case of a
 reimage. However, I do not
  want them to be able to overwrite computer
 accounts that are in use.
 
  Any help is appreciated.

 
Here is a modified copy of the script I use for this purpose. I have tried to
put some intelligent comments in there for understanding. Normally, I'd send
this to you directly, but I can't get your email. How it works is that you
supply the 
 
If the code wraps or needs some debugging, email me offline.
 
The full code is a more complicated ASP that sets all the required parameters
based on authentication. If you need that, I can share it too.

  I 
  thought you would think that was a good thought. But you have a good point to 
  counter that good thought. I should submit something, I wouldn't mind being in 
  the acknow. err wait a minute. How about this, people who are already in 
  it can submit something and pick one person to be removed from the 
  acknowledgements... Oh Rick :op
  
  Hmmm 
  what could I submit... Oh I know, something I had to do today really quick... 
  Find all OU's with any GPO link whatsoever...
  
  First off I wondered, is gplink in the GC?
  
  adfind -schema -f ldapdisplayname=gplink 
  ismemberofpartialattributeset
  
  Gets 
  you 
  
  dn:CN=GP-Link,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=joehome,DC=comisMemberOfPartialAttributeSet: 
  TRUE
  
  
  So 
  it sure is... This is easy!
  
  adfind -gc -b -f "(objectcategory=organizationalunit)(gplink=*)" 
  gplink
  
  On 
  my home domain that rips off in less than a second...
  
  dn:OU=Domain Controllers,DC=joehome,DC=comgPLink: 
  [LDAP://CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com;0]
  
  dn:OU=Cmps,DC=joehome,DC=comgPLink: 
  [LDAP://CN={61CF67FA-41FA-415C-B349-E7D182BDD54F},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com;0]
  
  Oh 
  ok, you now want to know what the nice name of those 
are...
  
  adfind -b 
  CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com 
  -s base displayname
  
  and
  
  adfind -b 
  CN={61CF67FA-41FA-415C-B349-E7D182BDD54F},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com 
  -s base
  
  
  
  I 
  don't recall those exact examples in the book. :op
  
  
  Can 
  anyone guess how often I use adfind in the course of a normal 
  workday?
  
  Me 
  neither. But I have wrapped it with a couple of batch files. 
  
  
  The 
  first is called findthis.cmd
  
  It 
  takes whatever I enter and basically does a
  
  adfind -gc -b -f name=%1 -dn
  
  I 
  also have a kids.cmd
  
  adfind -gc -b %1 -s one -f * -dn
  
  
  and 
  also I have a get
  
  adfind -b %1 -s base
  
  
  Ok 
  that is enough, I don't want to hurt anyone. ;o)
  
  
  Good 
  night!

  And what have you been drinking at 
  1am??:-) Good thought, but my guess is that 
  peoplewhooffer goodsuggestions probably already have a copy 
  of the book (since they know what'sin there and what isn't). FWIW, 
  I would be happy to mentionin the 
  acknowledgements section anyone who suggests a recipe I include in the next

Hey 
Rob,

What about this 
donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up with a great idea for 
additions to the next version of the cookbook.

Basically the 
submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work. 


They would be judge 
based on the following criteria.

The topic covered 
in AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points; 
new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
The issues 
identified within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets 
2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10)
The solutions that 
meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that 
gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify 
any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)

To make things 
interesting
