RE: [ActiveDir] Delegating attribute in property Set (Personal Information set)

2006-02-07 Thread Almeida Pinto, Jorge de
If for some reason you want to delegate the use of some attribute and that 
attribute is not listed in the in the property/attribute specific list, then 
that attribute is hidden from being viewed. To be able to use that attribute 
in the delegation of control wizard on THAT SPECIFIC DC, open DSSEC.DAT in 
%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32, search for the attribute you want to use (make sure you 
are making changes under the correct [OBJECT]) and change the value 7 to a 
value 0 (zero). Save DSSEC.DAT and RE-OPEN Active Directory Users and 
Computers. Before doing this make copy of the original DSSEC.DAT (e.g. 
DSSEC.DAT.ORG) and after doing this make a copy of the changed DSSSEC.DAT 
(e.g. DSSEC.DAT.CUST) (if for some reason a hotfix or SP replaces the file 
you have lost your changes)

In your case look for physicalDeliveryOfficeName=7 under [user]

after setting this to 0 you will see it in the deleg wizard.

Hi all, 

Im trying to delegate the Office field shown in aduc - which actually maps to 
physicalDeliveryOfficeName field in AD. 

However via the gui this options seems to be hidden and seems like its part of 
a Personal Information property set. 

Would dsacls does delegation for this particular attribute only? Been trying it 
but getting errors :) 

Some lights to sheds perhaps? 

Thank you and have a splendid day!

  I have an issue whereby I have 3 dual roleFile  Print

  these roles for another 6 months.
  
  My issue is that I have Server Ops staff who connect through to these

  appreciate everyone's views about giving them access to the DC however, this 
  is business rules and as we're working towards phasing this configuration out 
  anyway, I can live with it.
  
  The problem I have are thatthis team disconnect themselves rather 
  than log off. So ifthere are 2 concurrent disconnected sessions, no-one 
  else can logon.
  
  With their Server Operator privileges, they aren't able to disconnect/log 
  off/reset a terminal services session, they get an error. Does anyone know how 
  I can delegate this permision to them?

  Hi David,
  
  depends on what you mean - either there's a supported way 
  on how to extend the schema (pretty sure implementing the schema extensions 
  via LDIF is supported), however if you are talking about designing the 
  extensions it depends on your needs if anyone is able to support 
  them.
  
  If you don't need MapiIds [1] you're pretty much on the 
  safe side if you use a registered OID, prefix, registered Linked Attributes 
  (did I forget something?) and put those in your own class or auxclass if you 
  want to extend existing classes. OIDs you'll get from a registration service 
  (like IANA) or Microsoft, you are able to register a prefix with Microsoft, 
  and you are also able to get LinkIDs for the Linked Attributes from 
  MS.
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ad/ad/obtaining_an_object_identifier.asp
  
  If you need MapiIds you might have to support yourself. 
  I've never found any way to register yourself for a certain range of MapiIds, 
  and they need to be unique. So no matter what you choose you never have the 
  assurance that never ever a vendor will use it. Did I mention that there's no 
  supported way of exchanging system protected attributes like MapiIDs or 
  LinkIDs? You are able to change them, but not supported. However PSS will tell

RE: [ActiveDir] Nesting groups

2006-02-07 Thread Steve Rochford
It really is a single domain; would I lie to you?? :-)

I've now gone through all the groups. They were all mail enabled and
permissions haven't been changed but I think there are two things which
were causing problems - one I've now fixed the other I'm still working
on.

The names of some of the groups have been changed; normally, I would
make the name, display name, pre-Windows 2000 name and alias all the
same but some of these had been renamed and not all the names matched up
(and a couple had spaces - I think this is allowed but I always avoid
spaces in names!) I've now made sure that they're all the same (and even
the SMTP address is the same although I doubt that matters??) and it now
seems to work (I sent an email to the top level list and all the names
appear in the Exchange log; yesterday that wasn't the case)

The one issue I've still got is the way Outlook 2003 in cached mode
doesn't seem to update the address book properly. If I log on to a
machine with Outlook 2003 and don't set up cached mode then I get to see
all the groups. If I log on in cached mode then the Global Address List
in the address book doesn't show all the groups. If I pick All Groups
from the All Address Lists section then I get to see all the groups.
I'm pretty sure this is a client-side issue (Office XP sees it OK;
using Find in OWA also works OK) 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Just one of the standard questions I use for DL expansion issues. Not
relevant to a single domain forest but we don't know in this case if
this is for sure a single domain forest or they simply manage a single
domain in a forest. I've made that assumption based on verbiage in the
past and paid for it, little more careful now[1]. 

Anyway, the one group specifically not receiving the message sounds very
much like it isn't mail enabled, the group is a global/dlg that isn't
being expanded on the correct GC, or the permissions for the group have
been modified incorrectly.

Actually that reminds me, another question I should have specifically
spelled out below is are the permissions standard for the groups and
users?, i.e. has anyone tried to tighten down the directory?

 
  joe


[1]No, the forest has multiple domains, the other domain is just an
empty root and is run by the schema admin folks until the rest of the
company converts, we don't have any groups or users in that domain so we
didn't figure you wanted to hear about it You have to love hearing
that after several hours of trying to troubleshoot from descriptions and
start catching inconsistencies.

I would 

A. Make sure all groups/users in question are mail-enabled.

B. Make sure that the groups truly are universal.

C. Make sure that the groups are all replicating properly to the GCs
that the Exchange servers are using.

D. Doublecheck settings on the groups that you think are involved in

E. For testing, Send mail to each of the lists individually and check

The size of the DL is relatively small so it isn't an issue with number

 I think you can set this setting in GPO. If you go to 
 Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows 
 Components\Terminal Services\Sessions and there you can 
 enable Set time limit for disconnected ssessions and set it 
 to 1 minute.

   I have an issue whereby I have 3 dual role File  Print 
 Servers/DC's remaining in my org (cut down from 50+) where I 
 can't separate these roles for another 6 months.

   My issue is that I have Server Ops staff who connect 
 through to these FP DC's via Remote Desktop. They only have 
 Server Operator privileges. I appreciate everyone's views 
 about giving them access to the DC however, this is business 
 rules and as we're working towards phasing this configuration 
 out anyway, I can live with it.

   The problem I have are that this team disconnect 
 themselves rather than log off. So if there are 2 concurrent 
 disconnected sessions, no-one else can logon.

   With their Server Operator privileges, they aren't able 
 to disconnect/log off/reset a terminal services session, they 
 get an error. Does anyone know how I can delegate this 
 permision to them?

   thanks

   frank

[ActiveDir] DSQUERY filter for space character only

2006-02-07 Thread Sitton Glen E



I need to run an obscure DSQUERY with a filter that 
finds displayNames with a value of a single space character. I'm 
stumped. I've tried every escape character possibility that I'm aware 
of. I know how to find null values, but can't seem to query on a space 
character alone. It hoses the ldap syntax.

When ADUC builds the ldap query itself, it 
fails:

 ((objectCategory=user)(displayName= 
))

 The query filter ... is not a valid 
query string.

I've tried:
" "
 ' '
 %20
 +
and escaping it with a \ or a 
^

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
- Glen

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] DSQUERY filter for space character only





Some automated process has thrown a single space character into the
displayName and I'm hoping to construct a simple DSQUERY to find them
and then fix them. 


Yes, the workaround you describe is pretty much what I am doing in lieu
of a DSQUERY filter. It's just a pain because there are over 100,000
user accounts. I am dumping the values to a temp file, then querying it
in a secondary process.

RE: [ActiveDir] DSQUERY filter for space character only

2006-02-07 Thread Dean Wells



IIRC, 
the query processor barks at the use of values comprised entirely of 
spaces. As such, use the following -

dsquery * dc=mset,dc=local -scope subtree -filter 
"((objectcategory=user)(displayname=\20))

... or 
for a more creative approach -

dsquery * dc=mset,dc=local -scope subtree -filter 
"((objectcategory=user)(displayname=!))

Note 
that the latter will return any qualifying object whose displayName contains any 
number of spaces whereas the former's equality match is more 
literal.

space character only

I need to run an obscure DSQUERY with a filter that 
finds displayNames with a value of a single space character. I'm 
stumped. I've tried every escape character possibility that I'm aware 
of. I know how to find null values, but can't seem to query on a space 
character alone. It hoses the ldap syntax.

When ADUC builds the ldap query itself, it 
fails:

 ((objectCategory=user)(displayName=

 The query filter ... is not a valid 
query string.

I've tried:
" "
 ' '
 %20
 +
and escaping it with a \ or a 
^

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

[ActiveDir] Automagic Security groups.

I am almost looking for a

It would save me a ton of

user of all their old groups and drop them into the new groups, based upon what 
OU the user account currently resides in.

15 schools, students moving

RE: [ActiveDir] Site Links

2006-02-07 Thread Bernard, Aric








To be sure, connection objects and site
links are two different things. Connection objects I typically created by
the KCC/ISTG although they can be created manually. Site Links are always
created manually even if that manual operation is performed by a
script.



Site links should be created to join AD
sites, which typically represent physically different locations. From a
physical to logical mapping, in most cases, the site link represents the WAN
link between those locations. If bandwidth is at all a concern
(throughput or latency) you should in most cases create site link with only two
members: the hub site and the specific spoke site. This provides optimal
control and knowledge of what systems connection objects will be created
between. In the unlikely event (hopefully) that all of your hub domain
controllers are down for an extended period of time, your spoke site could
connect and replicate with other spokes attached to the same hub so long as
site link transitivity has not been disabled. If your spoke sites have
direct network access to more than one hub location (via frame cloud or
alternate link) then it might be advantageous to implement a secondary higher cost
site link in the same manner to act as a backup.



As Mark mentioned, if at all possible, let
the KCC/ISTG create and remove the required connection objects as it sees
fit. This is typically the most reliable way of maintaining a connected
and properly replicating topology all else being equal (and properly configured
:-).

RE: [ActiveDir] Site Links

2006-02-07 Thread Gil Kirkpatrick



Adeel,

Ah, the old "best practices" question.You'll get a 
lot of responses regarding the whole concept of "best practices" which will 
ultimately say "it depends" :) For instance, what sort of 
administrators do you have? Are they experienced, well educated in AD, reliable, 
etc? What's your organizations risk tolerance? Threat profile? Budget? 
Maturity?

To be more helpful, you'll need to 
fill in some blanks. First off, whats the issue you're trying to fix? Is there 
an operational problem? Generally speaking, if you have the right site links in 
place, they don't need to be changed unless the underlying topology changes, or 
unless a DC goes down. Or is the problem that you don't know if your topology is 
right to being with?

That all being said, some "best practices" which might or 
might no apply to your situation.


1. Monitoring DCs is critical for a multi-site AD, and 
especially so for topologies with manual site links.
2. Monitoring replication 
is also critical
3. If your'e using WS2003, its best to let 
the KCC sort out this sort of thing and not muck it up manually. There are few 
situations that the KCC will not handle well in WS2003 
AD.
4. Implement strict change control on your topology. 
The change process should include justification for change, review by 
someone who understands how replication and KCC work, implementation, and 
auditing of the final result, including some testing to ensure that the change 
actually does what you think. 
5. Monitoring DCs and replications is really 
important.
6. And be sure to monitor...


HTH,

-gil

I have about 650 remote sites here, between 50 and 60 remote DCs
depending on how you count it. I have a script which generates the site links based
on a template link, and then depending on the connection between the sites and
utilization metrics, I have another list of links which are configured to
different replication intervals. I was going to have this metric as part of the
script, just never got to it  would probably take ten minutes to add

RE: [ActiveDir] Automagic Security groups.

2006-02-07 Thread Coleman, Hunter



Two options come to mind, I'm sure there are 
others...

1) Build a set of scripts and put a web front-end on them, 
which would allow others to move the user account and as part of the move, the 
OUone groups would get stripped and the OUtwo groups would get 
added.

2) Directly delegate the object move (or like above, stick 
it in a web page). Then have a scheduled task that periodically runs and looks 
at all user objects in OUone and sets the group membership correctly, same for 
OUtwo.

Option 1 has a more immediate effect, and that may be an 
important point. Option 2 has the advantage of consistently enforcing group 
membership, so even if someone makes an inadvertant change it will get corrected 
on the next pass of the script. It also makes it easier to change the groups and 
have all users get updated.

[ActiveDir] Moving Certificates between separate AD infrastructures

2006-02-07 Thread walls

I have a DOD customer that is looking to break off a piece of the organization to stand up its own agency. The DOD customer is currently deployed in an Active Directory infrastructure with a PKI infrastructure deployed and smartcardsin use. Shortly, the customers will be moved to a completely new AD infrastructure at their own request. Unfortunately, the organization will not immediately deploy new certs and smart cards to the staff due to logistics issues. Smartcard access to DOD systems is an absolute requirement. Disruption to the user community must be kept to an absolute minimum. The organization would like continue to use the existing certs and smartcards with the new infrastructure.

My question is, assuming that the PKI infrastructure can support the old certs, is there a way to automate the movement of user certs during the migration process? Can we automate the publishing of the old certificate from the old directory into the new directory? Is there existing migration tools out there that does this (i.e. Quest, Bindview)? Does ADMT do this by default? I've been reviewing the ADMT documentation and I haven't seen a mention of migrating user certificates yet. I was thinking to develop some code using CAPICOM to do this; however, I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. A second question would be do both the values in the userCertificate and userSMIMECertificate properties have to go?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

instead of editing the DSSEC.DAT file to adjust the

RE: [ActiveDir] DSQUERY filter for space character only

2006-02-07 Thread joe



The tricky piece here is the space, the displayname=\20 
mechanism would work as well as the very cute little query Dean posted of 
displayname=!. Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">. 
It talks a little about constructing queries.

The other thing that stuck out to me appears to have stuck 
out to you is the fact that everyone was using objectcategory=user. The user 
class isn't a valid objectcategory. Luckily AD figures that out for you and 
changes the query to objectcategory=person. However, that may not be the query 
the OP wanted because that will return matching users and contacts. 


Since displayname is indexed, you could probably get away 
with the query ((objectclass=user)(displayname=\20)). The tried and true 
test would be to submit that query up against 
((objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(displayname=\20)) or even 
((sAMAccountType=805306368)(displayname=\20)) with the STATS control and 
see what indexes get used, I would expect displayName 
generally.

I just did a trace and took a peek and the displayname=" " 
doesn't even get to the server, the client dumps it as a bad query before 
then.

Nothing personal, I assume everyone is lying to me. When I entered the world

1. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. 

2. Users lie. 

He further clarified #2 with several points. First that users were defined
as anyone asking you for help so that could be end users or other admins or
even your boss. Second, they don't necessarily do it on purpose, some of
them truly believe what they tell you. Others are out and out not telling
you the truth and don't want you to figure out the truth, they just want you
to make it so they can continue doing whatever it was that they were doing
when they ran into the occasion that required your assistance.

I agree that the changes you mention shouldn't have made a difference.

It really is a single domain; would I lie to you?? :-)

I've now gone through all the groups. They were all mail enabled and
permissions haven't been changed but I think there are two things which were
causing problems - one I've now fixed the other I'm still working on.

The names of some of the groups have been changed; normally, I would make
the name, display name, pre-Windows 2000 name and alias all the same but
some of these had been renamed and not all the names matched up (and a
couple had spaces - I think this is allowed but I always avoid spaces in
names!) I've now made sure that they're all the same (and even the SMTP
address is the same although I doubt that matters??) and it now seems to
work (I sent an email to the top level list and all the names appear in the
Exchange log; yesterday that wasn't the case)

The one issue I've still got is the way Outlook 2003 in cached mode doesn't
seem to update the address book properly. If I log on to a machine with
Outlook 2003 and don't set up cached mode then I get to see all the groups.
If I log on in cached mode then the Global Address List in the address book
doesn't show all the groups. If I pick All Groups
from the All Address Lists section then I get to see all the groups.
I'm pretty sure this is a client-side issue (Office XP sees it OK; using
Find in OWA also works OK) 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Anyway, the one group specifically not receiving the message sounds very
much like it isn't mail enabled, the group is a global/dlg that isn't being

modified incorrectly.

Actually that reminds me, another question I should have specifically

users?, i.e. has anyone tried to tighten down the directory?

[1]No, the forest has multiple domains, the other domain is just an empty
root and is run by the schema admin folks until the rest of the company
converts, we don't have any groups or users in that domain so we didn't
figure you wanted to hear about it You have to love hearing that after
several hours of trying to troubleshoot from descriptions and start catching

AD Gurus, 


Anyone know of a web 
interface for somebasic AD administration preferably acheap or free 
solution. Basically, this webinterfacewill be provided to the 
heldesk to perform tasks like unlock account, move account, check group 
membershipetc. 

By googling arround 
I found PHP based AdLDAP http://adldap.sourceforge.netand 
I am able to make a web interface with it (that website designing hobby finally 
paid off)however, I found it to be very slowinthe production 
environment.Just wondering if anyone out there has had need for such

RE: [ActiveDir] Moving Certificates between separate AD infrastructures

Subject: [ActiveDir] Moving
Certificates between separate AD infrastructures







I have a DOD customer that is looking to break off a piece of the
organization to stand up its own agency. The DOD customer is currently deployed
in an Active Directory infrastructure with a PKI infrastructure deployed and
smartcardsin use. Shortly, the customers will be moved to a completely
new AD infrastructure at their own request. Unfortunately, the organization
will not immediately deploy new certs and smart cards to the staff due to
logistics issues. Smartcard access to DOD systems is an absolute requirement.
Disruption to the user community must be kept to an absolute minimum. The
organization would like continue to use the existing certs and smartcards with
the new infrastructure.











My question is, assuming that the PKI infrastructure can support the
old certs, is there a way to automate the movement of user certs during the
migration process? Can we automate the publishing of the old certificate from
the old directory into the new directory? Is there existing migration tools out
there that does this (i.e. Quest, Bindview)? Does ADMT do this by default? I've
been reviewing the ADMT documentation and I haven't seen a mention of migrating
user certificates yet. I was thinking to develop some code using CAPICOM to do
this; however, I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. A second question would be
do both the values in the userCertificate and userSMIMECertificate properties
have to go?











Thanks in advance,





Dave










[ActiveDir] AD management MMC

2006-02-07 Thread Douglas M. Long
I remember in the past downloading a MMC that already had ADUC, GPO, DNS,
and other snapins in it. I thought it was called Active Directory Management
Tool, but I can't find it. Does anyone else recall this tool? Its name?
