 Ravi,

 Was it ever working? What version of ActiveSync are you using, and what
 of the devices (what OS)?

 The reason I ask is that we have an issue with ActiveSync v4.2 and Trend
 OfficeScan where they DO NOT play together with Windows Mobile 5.0
 devices. No fix from Trend until later next year!!! Same (or at least
 similar) error to what you report.

[ActiveDir] Activesync and OMA not working

2006-09-25 Thread Ravi Dogra

Hi,

Day before yesterday everything was working fine with OMA and
Activesync. Users were able to sync from inside and outside site
premises. But suddenly it is not working.

There were no changes made. only change made was FBA. and its been a week now.

I have one FE and 2 BE.

Situation is when user is putting in the IP Address of BE instead of
FE it works fine in his PPC. But the moment he does it to FE it stops
working.

Please suggest

I was able to see Event ID's 1501, 1502 and 1503 on FE.

This has something to do with SSL. Just because when i does
http://mail.domain.com/oma it prompts me to use https. another thing
is i have redirected my home directory to /exchange url.

Re: [ActiveDir] Activesync and OMA not working

Hi,

I dont have PPC with me right now. But i have an update for you.

I am able to access http://mail.domain.com/oma from my desktop but
only for mailbox on my BE2 not BE1. I dont know why.

What should i do:-

Should i ask user to check the box This Server Uses an SSL Connection
and also ask him to install certificate.

Or should i try to make my OMA Available without SSL.   What do you suggest.

2. On your Smartphone 2003-based device, click Start, ActiveSync, Menu, Options, Server

[ActiveDir] RPC Over HTTPS Problem....

2006-09-15 Thread Ravi Dogra

Hi,

I am facing a weird problem here is some required information.

Frontend - Backend Structure.
Exchange with SP2 on Win2k3 SP1 on all Servers.
FE1 and BE1 is on a different site,
BE2 is on my Site.
Configured RPC Over Https on Frontend Server. OWA (SSL) is working fine.

Now here is the situation:-
I have configured my client for RPC over Https. When client machine
tries to establish connection with my Exchange Server it prompts me
for User Name and Password.

When i am providing my credentials it is not accepting and keeps me
prompting for same.

Also while doing this when i use Ctrl + Right click on Outlook icon on
rightside of taskbar and then selecting connection it never shows me
established. It remains on Connecting and tries to connect my BE2
server where my mailbox resides.

What could be the possible reason for this? If any other information
is required please let me know.

The usual issue with that is that the url u r connecting to matches the

This must match on internal and external, i.e. u must use split brain or

Re: [ActiveDir] DNS Entries --Laptop Users--

2006-09-13 Thread Ravi Dogra

No, Laptop Users are getting IP Addresses from my VPN Box and when
they are on site its DHCP.

On machines Register in DNS option Is checked, hence machines are
attempting to register its own records in DNS. Although i have made my
LAN DHCP to register only its Clients in DNS.

Credentials used are abviously my Administrator Account.

But Al,

The Issue we had is laptop users are using LAN DHCP as well as using
VPN Connection from home. Both are getting registered in My DNS with
different IP. Which is obvious.
But the thing is SOPHOS gave us this as one of the reasons for my
laptop machines not showing in Sophos Enterprise Console because it
uses DNS to build existing machines list.

Now everything is working fine and this reason was totally not applicable.

but still there are other machines which are only in our network using
only my LAN DHCP and are not showing up in EC.

Sophos Support team is working on this.

Thanks and Regards

Is the DHCP server that the remote clients are getting their ip addr's from
the same as the one that you are using for lan connected clients? You are
obviously allowing the user's machine to update it's own records, but is
that consistent or is the DHCP server on the lan registering the records for
you possibly under a different set of credentials or in a different zone?

Al this in not a priority for us now. Earlier i was unaware of our VPN
Box settings thats why i was a bit confuse about why these machines
are registring there own records in my DNS.

Also i am not going to uncheck Register in DNS check box on Client
machine as this is not required as if now.

I have already set lease period as per our organizational requirement
so, again i will not do any change unless it is a must required thing
to do.

Jolly,

I was not sure abt how VPN Box was configured and as i had a word with
Prashant boss, it is not configured for updating records to our DNS.

I will talk to Prashant boss abt ths.

But the thing is i can see 2 DNS records for one host. One is for VPN
and the other one is for Wireless IP Address for the Host.

Al,

It is letting the device update their own record to DNS.

[ActiveDir] DNS Entries --Laptop Users--

2006-09-05 Thread Ravi Dogra

Hi,

Problem is i have 2 different records of each laptop (Using VPN
Connection) in my DNS. I have secure updates configured in my DNS
Conf.

we are using DHCP. Laptop users getting a specific VLAN IP Address for
there wireless connection which is getting registered in my DNS. This
is good.

But the Problem is that when these Laptop users login from home using
VPN, they get a new IP Address from my VPN Box which is also getting
registered in my DNS.

I have no clue why this is happening.

i m suspecting on DNS conf on local machine under Advanced Tcp Ip
settings. I am not sure i am heading right way or not. here is the
snapshot attached for same.

[ActiveDir] Event ID 20 :: KDC Certificate Error ::

2006-06-20 Thread Ravi Dogra

Hi All,

I am getting Event ID 20 :: KDC Error :: The currently selected KDC
certificate was once valid, but now is invalid and no suitable
replacement was found.  Smartcard logon may not function correctly if
this problem is not remedied.  Have the system administrator check on
the state of the domain's public key infrastructure.  The chain status
is in the error data.

I dont know how this is affecting or will affect as these are warning
messages. What is the impact?

I can see my Certificate is still valid. What could be the possible
reason. I have installed a Enterprise CA a long time back and since
then i can see this error every approx. 10 hours. (I think i did
something wrong)

Should id delete the previous Certificate and then issue a new
certificate. I am a bit confused. (Thinking of doing it in a test
enviornment first)

Sure i dont want to ignore these errors and Fix them ASAP.

Kindly Suggest how can i get rid of this.

[ActiveDir] DCQuery + Remote Site

2006-04-27 Thread Ravi Dogra
Hi,

I have one DC and 2 ADC's.

1. DC
2. 1ADC
3. 2ADC

DC and 1ADC exists on my local network. whereas 2ADC is on remote
site. My DC has all 5 Roles + DNS + DHCP.

Now issue is that when i am running DSQuery for any thing it gives me
answere from 2ADC. Which is ofcourse time consuming. All connections
during this query are TCP.

My question is
Why is it querying 2ADC when i have DC and 1ADC at my local site?

At times my MMC Snap in for ADUC takes a lot of time. I can understand
that. also this is now a performance and network bandwidth utilization
issue for us.

Kindly suggest what i can do to resolve the issue.

Re: [ActiveDir] Can We configure Romaing Profiles using Script

2006-04-22 Thread Ravi Dogra
One more Question i have is related to Thinclient deployment.

We are using Wyse. and have windows xp embedded. now the problem is
when user logs on to the thin client and tries to open Microsoft
Document Imaging it starts configuring which is unsuccessfull as users
dont have priviledges.

and then the error is ignored. User can now use Document Imaging to
view Tiff files.

but the thing is that whenever he logs off and logs back in this
happens again. i know its just because its not getting configured as
users profile gets flushed back at the time of logoff. so nothing is
saved for him or anybody accept administrator as he have a local
profile on machine saved.

I think there is some problem with the Image we have. XP Embedded.

Kindly Update.

 Tony pointed you to a lesson on fishing. Once you understand how to get the
 info for one user, you can expand it to get all. I haven't looked at that
 article closely but hopefully it talks about some of the shortcomings.
 
 Short and sweet there is no guaranteed mechanism to perfectly get last logon
 report for users. There are multiple mechanisms to try and get the data but
 nothing is completely full proof, some logons don't get get tracked (such as
 LDAP Simple Binds) and some mechanisms require you to query every single DC
 for every single user and some mechanisms can be as much as a week out of
 date for the last logon.
 
 The easiest mechanism is the lastLogonTimeStamp mechanism available in
 Windows Server 2003. It is 7 days out of date at worst by default because it
 doesn't track every logon for every user, only specific logons and of those
 it only updates the values every 7 days (again by default). It is though, by
 far the easiest mechanism and only requires querying one DC per domain. You
 can get the output like this (all one line)
 
 adfind -b dc=domain,dc=com -tdc -f
 (objectcategory=person)(lastlogontimestamp=*) lastlogontimestamp
 
 
 Any other mechanism will require querying every DC in a domain and
 collecting info for every user OR doing something with logon scripts. They
 will all have their issues and again, none of the mechanisms are foolproof
 so keep that in mind. The mechanisms behind logon/authentication is a bit
 different in the Windows world than it is in some of the other Oses.

[ActiveDir] Server Image Pushing Using Ghost Cast Server and DHCP

2005-06-09 Thread Ravi Dogra
Hi All,

I have a question? Can i have an ghost image for my server and if in a
situation of server crash i can rebuild it using ghost image.

But this all is to be done remotely, so i dont have any physical
access to the server. Can i have another server configured as dhcp so
that i can run this image through PXE boot. and the  some how i can
run ghost cast server to push image to this machine.

I am a little confused. But i am sure if it works than recovering a
server will be less time consuming job for me.

I have this as a backup option which i have to plan for our new site.

Re: [ActiveDir] DFS and Bandwidth

2005-06-06 Thread Ravi Dogra
Thanks

This means DFS should work fine for me. I Need not to think much as i
have no big requirements of shares on my network the data is hardly
55GB. and an assumption is that my shared data is updated by  around
5% everyday (approx 25mb).

 50 shares means nothing...  How much data do you have to replicate and
 how much data do you expect to change for each replication cycle?  How
 many DFS partners and what size pipe(s) do you have between them?  What
 type of data do you wish to replicate and how often?
 
 There's a big difference, say if you have 100GB and 50% changes on a
 daily basis or if you have 1,000GB where .1% changes on a daily basis.

[ActiveDir] Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) service doesn't start

2005-06-06 Thread Ravi Dogra
Hi All,

I have a very specific problem I need help with. Automatic updating is
partly working: the critical updates are recognized, but never
downloaded, because the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
service won't start on this PC.

When I try to start it, I get this error message:

Windows could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on
Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.  If
this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer
to service-specific error code -2147024893.

When I look in the Event Log, I see this error message from the
Service Control Manager:

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with
service-specific error 2147942403.

And as a result i am unable to install adminpack for windows2000 server.

His question doesn't really make sense. I would only ever link transport medium in IT 
to something like data comms, i.e. fiber and copper are transport mediums.

Perhaps he is unclear and means IP ports? I don't know, perhaps you should ask him to 
elaborate. In what context did he ask you?

Re: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Restoring In Different Hardware.

Dear R/Bill

 
Thanks for your help. sorry for a delayed reply. I was also trying it on a test bed.

well, delay is because of my accident. 

Your co-operation was Awesome thanking you all.

Ravi,

I am by no means an expert as compared to some others on this list - but the below 
process has worked in test bed:

The scenario described here does a full restore of a COMPAQ server to a Dell PC.  The 
typical problem in this scenario is that after the basic build, the PC is subjected 
to a non-authoritative restore, which will attempt to load drivers present for the 
COMPAQ server that was originally backed up.  The drivers do not have the appropriate 
hardware to talk to and the re-boot process will hang.

1. build Dell PC with W2K standalone server and SP4 on a C:\ partition that is 
equal to or greater than the original partition of the backed up server.

2. boot into recovery mode and do a non-authoritative restore.  NT Backup or 
Backup Exec will work just fine, depending on the location of the files/tapes to be 
used in the restore process.

3. if attempting to run NTDSUTIL and set as authoritative, an error will most 
likely occur.

4. re-boot into safe mode with no network [full boot or directory recovery boot 
will hang].

5. use the W2K CD and do an in-place upgrade

6. re-boot all the way up

7. re-boot into the directory recovery mode

8. run NTDSUTIL and set as authoritative

9. re-boot into normal mode

10.re-apply previous service pack

Some of the problems [not all inclusive] that may be encountered during this process 
are the lack of proper recovery for the TCP/IP stack and File Replication Services 
with respect to the linked directories supporting SYSVOL.

If the server recovered exhibits a failed TCP/IP stack, the procedures in 
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329871
Describe how to remove the failed stack and re-apply.

If the server recovered exhibits linked directory issues with file replication, the 
Server Resource Kit tool LINKD.exe may be employed to create, delete, update, and 
view the links that stored in the junction points.
