Hi,


Is there any chance that I or someone else could change my e-mail address on this list.
We've changed our e-mail addresses a few weeks back. I am still able to receive mails on my old address, but my reply address has changed (as a first stage).

This results in being unable to send to the mailinglist. Mailed this e-mail, after making a change in Exchange ;o)

  RUS = Recipient 
  Update Service. It runs on one or more of your Exchange servers and is 
  responsible for updating recipients. Specifically, if you see problems 
  with the GAL, it's often the culprit. 
  
  When you checked the 
  logs, did you check them on the Exchange server that has the RUS? You 
  can find it via ESM in the Recipients | Recipient Update Services node. 
  When you click on whichever one is for your domain that has the user accounts, 
  it will give the properties which will tell you which server hosts 
  it.

Sorry for the offtopic post but have not been able to find the answer...
On my workstation, the runas command no longer works from the command

get a dialog box titled runas.exe - Application Error, with the text
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0fd) occurred in the

If I try to run the same thing by right-clicking its icon in Explorer
and selecting Run As... it works fine.

The exact same command 'used to' work on my workstation, and still does
on other workstations.  The syntax I'm using is:
runas /user:domain\userid command

I have no idea what caused this to stop working.  User Mode Of COURSE
I haven't changed anything ! /User Mode

Any ideas what to look for ?  I really don't want to rebuild my machine
just for this, but I also really want my runas back !

RE: [ActiveDir] go to my pc, revisted

2004-05-25 Thread Ken Cornetet
You don't have to do anything to your firewall for Goto My PC to work.
In fact, that is basically their business model: they let users access
their work PCs without involvement from those pesky IT and security
Nazis. I'd be willing to bet that there are MANY companies out there who
have Goto My PC users and don't even know it!

How is this possible? The trick is that their software opens an HTTP
(HTTPS?) connection to the Goto My PC servers. To your firewall, it just
looks like normal web traffic. 

To their credit, they have a section on their web site on how to block
access to their service (which we have done).

[ActiveDir] Weird AD GPO problem

2004-05-25 Thread Puetz, Christoph




We're dealing with a 
really weird GPO problem. The password policy got changed in the default domain 
GPO. This was not supposed to happen and the changes have been reversed due to 
problems with some clients and 3rd party 
software.

However - even with 
forcing replication and forcing gpupdate on the clients, numerous reboots - the 
settings still apply to the clients.

Any idea what is 
holding on to the wrong GPO settings and how that can be cleared 
out?

Windows 2000 AD Domain 
- mixed mode.

I also refeshed the policy on the

RE: [ActiveDir] Weird AD GPO problem

2004-05-25 Thread Darren Mar-Elia



Christoph-
Are you saying that the password policy is still applying 
to domain users or to user accounts on the local SAMs of your workstations? If 
the latter, when you bring the gpedit.msc on a client, what does the local GPO 
show for its password policy and where is it getting its effective policy? You 
might also check the application event logs on your clients to see if you're 
getting any SCECLI errors, which would indicate a problem processing security 
policy. Also, use GPOTool.exe to make sure the Default Domain GPO is 
healthy.

RE: [ActiveDir] go to my pc, revisited

2004-05-25 Thread Jeff Salisbury
There is a pretty good description of their security if you visit www.go2mypc.com and 
follow the How it Works links to the Security White Paper. The diagram in the PDF 
shows use of RSA SecureID as an option you could use in conjunction with what is 
already in place.

We don't allow users to VPN in to the company from their personal computers. If you do 
support this, then any trojans, viruses, etc. that they have on their personal 
computers are now on your internal network. One advantage of Go2MyPC is that it acts 
more like a pcAnywhere session but you aren't putting the remote computer directly 
onto your internal network. They can still transfer files, good or bad, to their PCs, 
but chances are they could bring in a floppy or CD and do the same when in the office. 
Certainly Expertcity's entire reputation (now owned by Citrix) is based on their 
security model. Whether you choose to trust them or not is a decision you have to 
make, just as you would if you were outsourcing your VPN infrastructure.

If your office PCs use Windows XP and your users are able to connect by VPN, you could 
choose to enable Remote Desktop. This allows you to use your PC like you would 
remotely administer a server with the same RDP client. You don't need to install 
anything additional to use this capability, but it is disabled by default and you 
would need to configure the allowed accounts on each PC.

If you must allow connection from non-company PCs, then Go2MyPC might be worth 
consideration. I would prefer to not allow non-company PCs at all, but you may not 
have that choice.

 client to install and configure ala vpn or terminal services.
 i'm trying to push remote desktop web services but he's not bitting. he feels
 installing IIS and configuring it on the target pc is just as much of a
 headache( i counter that thats why you have a salaried IT staff and thats the
 price you pay for complete control). also, he thinks IIS has had a history of
 vulnerablities whereas Go To My PC has had none so far and is relaible.
 
 
 also, on my side, don't i have to then set up Port address translation on my
 firewall/router for this to work? the client would have to connect via ip or i
 have to make a dns entry on my public dns server for everyone who wants to
 connect to their office? i don't see that as a good idea ethier.
 i guess i'm looking for some more info on go to my pc and how it really works
 and why its a really bad idea(documentation or techincal reasons) and why
 jumping thru hoops to get remote desktop web is really worht it in
 comparison(disregarding vpn for the moment).
 and finally, someone has stated on this list that the target pc can only run

Couple of questions Tom.

Where do the managers want to access their PCs from?

What is your operating systems base?  Are all of your managers machines
windows xp?

Do you have vpn enabled at your site?

Is there a requirement that they be able to access the machines via a web
interface?

Re: [ActiveDir] go to my pc, revisted

2004-05-25 Thread Brent Westmoreland
If you truly want to block the use of go to my pc, I would suggest
approaching this from the standpoint of other users.  You don't want someone
in accounting who just got fired to be able to go home and utilize gotomypc.
Therefore the gotomypc site would need to be blocked at the proxy level to
ensure the security of the organization.  Perhaps you can also look into
some industry regulations about requirements of privacy, I am grasping at
straws here, but talk to legal about what your role in HIPAA or Sarbanes
Oxley might be.  I haven't read the specifications, but see if there is
something in one of the many regulatory compliance laws that you can
leverage to your benefit.

Then I would setup a demo of the builtin rdp client on windows xp.  You can
access it by typing mstsc at the command line with no additional software if
you are running windows xp.  The only software install issue is if you want
to use the cisco ipsec client as opposed to the builtin pptp client for
accessing the network over vpn.

Of course, if your managers are running something other than windows xp the
rdp client will have to be installed. You could build packages for both rdp
and cisco so that a single msi will install both packages preconfigured to
your specifications.

Consider that if your boss really wants this done, all your efforts to buck
his decision could be a CLM.

I would recommend against exposing each individual pc to the internet via
iis and the remotedesktop activex component, but that is just me.

RE: [ActiveDir] task pads

2004-05-25 Thread Darren Mar-Elia
Title: task pads



Rick-
Another option to consider is to use security group 
filtering on that GPO instead of relying on moving machines around. In other 
words, permission the GPO so that only machines that are part of the "O2K3 
Install" group will process the policy. Then, getting Office installed is simply 
a matter of adding a machine to a group rather than having to move machines back 
and forth between OUs.

RE: [ActiveDir] Weird AD GPO problem

2004-05-25 Thread Puetz, Christoph



Yes, that is correct. The Default domain policy still 
applies - even if I change the password length setting to 
non-defined.

Here's is what I did now:

New OU - I blocked inheritance. The applied a new GPO with 
password specific settings (Password length = 12, maximum age, minimum age, 
etc.). The default domain policy had 8 characters for the password length but 
now got changed to non-defined.

I moved a user and a machine into that new, clean OU and 
logon. The user receives the 8 character password requirement from the default 
domain GPObut all the other settings from the new GPO.

AGPResult shows only the new GPO and the local GPO 
applied - not the default domain GPO though. The local GPO has never been 
modified and is clean.

Are you saying that the password policy is still applying 
to domain users or to user accounts on the local SAMs of your workstations? If 
the latter, when you bring the gpedit.msc on a client, what does the local GPO 
show for its password policy and where is it getting its effective policy? You 
might also check the application event logs on your clients to see if you're 
getting any SCECLI errors, which would indicate a problem processing security 
policy. Also, use GPOTool.exe to make sure the Default Domain GPO is

RE: [ActiveDir] Looking for a tool that displays SID

2004-05-25 Thread Justin_Leney

There are the Account Lockout and Management
Tools from MS: 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=enfamilyid=7af2e69c-91f3-4e63-8629-b999adde0b9e

After registering AcctInfo.dll, you
will be able to see the SID and SIDHISTORY of migrated users. If you're
migrating the users' SID, then SIDHISTORY may prove invaluable.

RE: [ActiveDir] Weird AD GPO problem

2004-05-25 Thread Roger Seielstad



That's not weird - that's by design.

Password related policies are domain specific. Its one of 
the few really good reasons to have a separate domain.

  Yes, that is correct. The Default domain policy still 
  applies - even if I change the password length setting to 
  non-defined.
  
  Here's is what I did now:
  
  New OU - I blocked inheritance. The applied a new GPO 
  with password specific settings (Password length = 12, maximum age, minimum 
  age, etc.). The default domain policy had 8 characters for the password length 
  but now got changed to non-defined.
  
  I moved a user and a machine into that new, clean OU and 
  logon. The user receives the 8 character password requirement from the default 
  domain GPObut all the other settings from the new 
  GPO.
  
  AGPResult shows only the new GPO and the local GPO 
  applied - not the default domain GPO though. The local GPO has never been 
  modified and is clean.

  Christoph-
  Are you saying that the password policy is still applying 
  to domain users or to user accounts on the local SAMs of your workstations? If 
  the latter, when you bring the gpedit.msc on a client, what does the local GPO 
  show for its password policy and where is it getting its effective policy? You 
  might also check the application event logs on your clients to see if you're 
  getting any SCECLI errors, which would indicate a problem processing security 
  policy. Also, use GPOTool.exe to make sure the Default Domain GPO is 
  healthy.

  We're dealing with a 
  really weird GPO problem. The password policy got changed in the default 
  domain GPO. This was not supposed to happen and the changes have been reversed 
  due to problems with some clients and 3rd party 
  software.
  
  However - even with 
  forcing replication and forcing gpupdate on the clients, numerous reboots - 
  the settings still apply to the 
  clients.
  
  Any idea what is 
  holding on to the wrong GPO settings and how that can be cleared 
  out?

Yeah getsid will pull NT4 SID andobjectSID from AD. 
It will not get sIDHistory. You can use adfind(on the website) to get 
easily get sIDHistory and objectSID. So if you want just the AD SID and the SID 
migrated from NT4 which should be in the sIDHistory attribute, adfind will 
totally handle that...

adfind -gc -b -f name=xxx objectSid

If you need to resolve a sid to a name, the sidtoname tool

The LDP.exe should do it for the AD side of the house, not sure about the NT
side

[ActiveDir] Question about federated trusts in 2003

2004-05-25 Thread cflesher
Title: Message



I understand the 
principal of federated trusts for Winsows 2003 forests. However, I have a 
question that I'm hoping someone can answer for me. 

Let's say you have a 
2003 forest authenticating to a Unix MIT Kerberos realm. Furthermore, you want 
to set up a federated trust between that forest and another 2003 forest which 
uses the native KDC in 2003 for authentication. Is this possible? Would 
something break? 

Any thoughts on this 
issue would be greatly appreciated.

LDAP with SSL/TLS is way better than NIS.

As for environment, it's two W2K3 forests with Kerberos forest trust.
Forest A has several child domains and holds user accounts.
Forest B is where my hosts are (We are relatively small organization in
the enterprise, but we are RD and want to have control at least over
the hosts).

So users can come from any child domain of forest A and logon to hosts
in forest B. Now Linux does not play well, when the host is in one
realm, and users are from several other realms... The only workaround is
to map uid to Kerb principal in the LDAP. Modifying the A forest schema
(user accounts) is not an option, and it's quite reasonable considering
the small size of our division.

So here I am, stuck with LDAP authentication ...
If you have any better idea, I am all ears ;)

 You don't want to use NIS because it's less secure, yet you are going to use
 LDAP for authentication?  Isn't that a counter?
 
 Can you give an overview of your topology and what you're wanting to
 accomplish in the end?  I think we tried to help with the original post
 without all of the topology information.  
 
 Sounds like an interesting problem though...

 If you excuse me, I will break the inline pattern ;). It got too unreadable.
 
 I have seen the interoperability doc. I have also read the whole doc
 mentioned in the post. It's a very good reference, but is lacking any
 description of Kerberos deployments in multi-realm environments.
 Personally I had to choose LDAP authentication instead of Kerberos because
 my hosts are in one forest, while user accounts are from a child domain of
 another forest. If someone is aware of a workaround for that, monthly beer
 supply is on me ;)
 
 SFU is nice, but it tries to emulate NIS and with all do respect to NIS,
 it's time is gone. There are just too many security issues with NIS.
 
 As for having more than one directory, see my reply to joe. I wish I could
 put it all in one place, but it's not always possible.

  [Guy] I know that I am speculating here but all I wanted to do is to

  heterogeneous environment is a pain. Putting *nix clients (or 
  services) into the AD mix is not easy. One would blame the marketing

  I think we've done a great job of interop. Can we do better? Always! And
 we continue to work on it.

  1) You are right. Nobody mentioned schema extensions, but the truth is 
  that if you are considering the integration of open source services, 
  you probably do have some Linux boxes around. NIS sucks big time. NIS+ 
  is a pain to configure and both do not give you SSO. AD is great, but 
  does not have out-of-the-box capabilities to absorb non-MS clients. So 
  what is left for those that can not afford VAS ? Either tweak the 
  schema (Linux client will have hard time without posixAccount and 
  posixGroup
  objectClasses) or have a cut down functionality (sendmail LDAP mail 
  routing is great, but I would not extend the AD's schema just to make 
  sendmail happy). And if you are still short on the $$$, you are 
  starting to improvise (talking about OpenLDAP...). SMBs are somewhat 
  neglected in this area.
  
  2) Small *heterogeneous* environments. If all you have is Windows, 
  there is no reason to bring in more overhead. Long live and prosper AD !
  
  3) 
  a) Linux clients logons require uid, uidNumber, gidNumber and etc...
  (SFU sounds nice at first, till you hit the non-RFC compliance barrier 
  of uid attribute in SFU and realize that NIS is by no means not a 
  secure
  environment)
  [EFLEIS] - Yup, SFU can do this. Schema extension required of course, but
 painless (if memory serves me correctly, no PAS extensions there).
   
  b) a lot of *nix services can be easily managed through LDAP
 backend, 
  though the interoperability issues with AD force the creation of 
  another directory. I totally agree with you here - it IS overhead, but

[ActiveDir] Really goofy DNS trouble

2004-05-25 Thread Malachi Burke
Title: Looking for a tool that displays SID








Hey guys, I inherited a network with a
very goofed up AD/DNS server. The forward lookup zone contains no msdcs entry,
nor does it contain any client entries. Weve been limping along with it
this way, but now weve got a new DC+DNS in to take over. Trouble is,
new DC cant complete replication, and it seems to be because of a failed
DNS resolution. Yuck! I tried ipconfig /registerdns but to no avail. Any
ideas?



My hope was to start anew with a fresh DNS
server, but its a little discomforting doing a backup from one Win2K
machine and a restore onto the new Win2K3 machine when COM+ registry settings
and friends are involved in an AD backup/restore  so I opted for
replication, and here we are
