RE: [ActiveDir] [OT]Identity Access Mangement

2006-05-25 Thread chris . ryan
While Calendra Directory Manager does support the Workflow of provisioning
it is a bear to install and setup correctly.

We attempted a POC with three BMC people on-site and in four days we could
not get the product installed correctly. After that we decided to develop
our own internal tool which mimics the legacy Control/SA Workflow tool.

I have a fair amount of experience with Active Roles.  Although it helps
our company with our AD delegation and permissions, we are looking at a
separate product for identity management and workflow provisioning.
For these purposes you are looking for supports workflow approval, self
service and Meta Directory services I would say it supports self service
and delegation mostly.

Mark, can you give more information? I know Quest has something that might
be of interest, but more detail might be needed to better understand. In
the meantime, check out their ActiveRoles product.  There are several
others, but that's one that jumps to mind based on the way you describe it.

MIIS? Hmmm did you also get cookies with the kool-aid? Did you feel
really sleepy right after but just attribute it to sugar rush? Did the back
of your neck sting or itch a little when you woke up? ;-)

Don't get me wrong, MIIS has a place, but it can be a real PITA to get
working.  It's a significant investment in time and resources and it's not
well understood in the industry.  I can't begin to count how many
environment I've been in and seen the services running and that's about it.
Some real basic consuming of information and thennada. Nothing more.

Migration Manager for Active Directory from Quest will allow you to migrate
objects from the external domain without setting up a trust. I believe you
do need to be running 2003 in the source domain as it stores information in
ADAM during the migration. Check out the URL below.

that? Exmerge all mailboxes into PSTs en burn files on DVD or something

Interesting issue.  SIDHistory is not much of an issue, obviously.
Apparently, the users won't have access to the old forest, so it's of
little
value.

I would suspect, as a 'from the hip' approach - given you limits you really

only have a .ldf or a .csv dump of the accounts that are to become a part
of
your domain.

However, if you aren't going to be allowed any access to the old forest,
then there is no reason to think that the users would be any more than
newly
created principlas, along with the computers that you might acquire.

Dump the information, but I wouldn't get to terribly concerned about what
is
coming with them.  Other than name, logon name, samAccountName, there isn't

much that you can use.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Merging two domains




We have an external domain that we will not be allow to set up a two way
trust with, not be allowed to migrate users from, etc.  Basically it's a
partial domain import from one domain to our current Win2k3 domain.

Getting access to the external domain is out of the question since the
external domain is not currently ours.  Part of it will become ours.


Are there any alternative ways to import or migrate users from an
external domain?  I understand SID history and all the nice things that
go along with it (profile migrations, etc) will not work.  What about
doing some type of an LDIFDE export and import?  Will that at least get
us the account creations?  What other alternatives are there to have the
least end-user impact when changing their domain?  Any documents out
there outlining this?

Thanks to all.

yep, sound just like the source-domain's SIDs are being filtered when
the resource is still in the source domain (external.dev).  Realize,
that you only need to disable SID filtering on the trust in the source
domain - you should leave it enabled on the target domain.

All,
  I've been following the Sybex book, Mastering Windows 2003, to
test
an inter-forest migration from external.dev to development.dev using the
ADMT. I have not received any errors during the migration and everything
appears to be setup correctly, however, I do not think the SID History
is
functioning properly.

  I have a 200 domain named External.dev and a 2003 domain named
development.dev. I have a group on External.dev called Accounting and
a
member of that group named Pete. I have a member server in
external.dev,
N060MSADDEV4, with a share named Accounting. The Everyone group has
been
removed from the ACL and the External\Accounting group has been given
full
control.

  I migrate Accounting from external.dev to development.dev with the
box checked to migrate SID histories and I receive no errors. The new
Accounting group in development.dev should have a SID matching the one
on
the Accounting group in external.dev and since that group has access to
N060MSADDEV4\Accounting any new member of Develppment\Accounting should
be
able to access N060MSADDEV4\Accounting. I create a user named Tom in
development.dev and place him in the new Accounting group and attempt to
connect to the share and access is denied. If I then migrate
N060MSADDEV4
to development.dev and Add the equivalent security references for the
target object and leave the source references in tact I can then access
the
share with Tom, but according to the book I should not have to do that.
Am
I not doing something correctly in this test?

RE: [ActiveDir] Effect of change to MaxValRange

2005-06-17 Thread chris . ryan




Thanks for the feedback. I thought some of the experts would be able to
better articulate the consequences of changing that value. I read about it
in Eric's Blog and based on the information I had come up with this
response to changing the value.

Performance issues include increased processor time to run the query and
increased network bandwidth to send unnecessary query results. If the
answer to the query is found in the first 1500 results there is no need to
send another 2500 records. This setting affects all applications, so if
multiple queries are run with an unspecified range it will return all of
the results to every query and as more applications begin to use Active
Directory for LDAP queries we will feel the performance hit.

I think I was basically right. Thanks for helping me strengthen my point.

What happens when that isn't enough and they refuse to change again and you
have to change your policy once more? How do you know you hit the limit and
you aren't dropping entries? The application surely won't know. It will
simply think there were only 4000 values and be done with it. If that
attribute is for anything important, that could surely spell disaster for
something.

It could break applications that handle ranging but have a hard coded value
for how big they think the ranges are. This happened to several
applications
I heard about as well as my own adfind because the developers (and I)
assumed that the range returned would always be a certain size. Hopefully
it
shouldn't be many now since we got caught out in the 2K to K3 MaxValRange
change from 1000 to 1500 but you never know. How the apps break depends on
the apps, adfind would display some of the same values multiple times. One
app I heard would fault out because it knew there couldn't be duplicate
values and would hit them thinking there was a directory corruption issue.

I expect there could be some hit on perf from slight to pretty bad as
additional resources would be tied up for every query that hit objects with
more than 1500 values. I am not sure, this isn't something I would ever
consider doing outside of playtime in the lab. It is just too dangerous in
my opinion. I would consider increasing MaxResultSetSize before I increased
MaxValRange and I almost certainly wouldn't ever increase MaxResultSetSize
either.

I would severely question using that vendor because you don't know what
other things they aren't doing correctly for Active Directory. Production
AD
is not the place to play with crappy directory aware apps. Exchange is more
than enough. :o)

All,
  What are the effects of changing the MaxValRange value? I have a
vendor that does not want to change their code for LDAP queries that exceed
this value. I wanted to know what repercussions I would experience if I
increase it to 4,000.

[ActiveDir] Virtual Domain Controllers

2005-06-16 Thread chris . ryan




All,
  Is anybody currently running Domain Controllers in VMware of Virtual
Server? Have there been any problems with this environment? There is a big
push at my company to virtualize every environment but, I am sure Domain
Controllers should be virtualized.
  One of my biggest concerns is the snapshot feature. I do not have
full control over the Domain Controllers and I worry that another Admin
will take a snapshot of the DC and make a few changes and if they don't
work, revert to the snapshot before the changes. Wouldn't this be the same
as using an older ghost image of the DC? I'm just looking for some feedback
to see if this is a viable solution.

Thanks for all of the responses. I had a chance to look at the KB article
on USN rollback and found it very informative. I will get to the white
paper when I have a little time.

I am still concerned about the Snapshot feature. How do others handle this?
Is it possible to turn it off or apply a deny permission to that feature or
is it used? Am I off base in worrying about this aspect?

We have a 9 site, 25000 user active directory running on 14 Windows 2000
DCs.  We recently converted our last DC to a VM (ESX 2.X) and we haven't
any any problems.  The only thing is that we needed to allocate 1Gb of
memory to every DC.  A little high for a VM (IMHO), but still better than
using hardware.

Other than that, it's been working great.

[ActiveDir] OT DNS Entries Disappear

2005-05-20 Thread chris . ryan




All,
  We had a situation yesterday where random A records would disappear
from DNS. All of these records were static so should not be affected by
scavenging. I do not know why records would disappear other than the
restoration of an old backup that did not contain those records. This is a
Windows 2000 DNS server with an Active Directory integrated zone that
preforms zone transfers to 3 BIND servers. Does anybody know why this would
happen or how to monitor this type of event?

No, it does not have to be on a DC if you change a registry setting on the
Citrix servers to point to the TS Licensing server on a member server. If
this entry is changed the server will no longer use the discovery process
to find the TS licensing server and go directly to the hard coded server.

Your TS Licensing Server doesn't need to be on a DC (although thats what

Re: [ActiveDir] delegation not working on Win2k AD

2005-05-17 Thread chris . ryan




I would run the delegation wizard at the Domain.com level and delegate the
Join a computer to the domain permission instead of creating a GPO. By
using the wizard it grants the Create Computer Objects permission on This
object and all child objects.

Setting this permission at the OU level will allow the user to move
computer objects between OU's but not join computers to the domain.

I was under the impression that the setting in the GPO  add workstations
to a domain was the legacy way of granting such permissions and the
correct way was on an OU where the accounts would live would be to grant
create and delete computer objects and then grant full control to those
objects.

Re: [ActiveDir] Time Sync between Forest Root and Child Domains

Set the time source on your Root PDC with net time /setsntp:SERVERNAME

On all other DC's do not set a time source with net time /setsntp:

By not setting a time source the DC's should all default to the Forest Root
PDC.

Or you can manually set the other DC's to sync with your forest PDC with
net time /setsntp:PDCname

This should be a simple thing to do, but it's driving me up the wall. Here
is what I would like to do:

1) Sync my PDCE in my forest root with a reliable internet time server

2) Have my other domain controllers in the forest root sync with the PDCE

3) Have the PDCE's in my child domains sync with the forest root PDCE

I should be able to do this via Net Time, but so far I am getting no joy.

Here us the problem:

1) Windows 2003 root domain

2) PDCE, and all other domain controllers in the root domain, keep synching
with the first W2K3 server introduced in the root domain. This happens to
be a virtual machine...

3) On the PDCE and all other domain controllers in the root domain, using
net time /DOMAIN:(netbios name of our root) does not help. Still synced
with this VM.

Any suggestions? This should not be this diffucult

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Anyone installed Windows 2003 (Server) SP1 yet?

2005-04-06 Thread chris . ryan




I have installed it on some production domain Controllers and have only had
one minor problem with McAfee 7.1. I received Event ID 1002 in my system
log from DCOM.
The launch and activation security descriptor for the COM Server
application with CLSID
{2A6D72F1-6E7E-4702-B99C-E40D3DED33C3}
 is invalid. It contains Access Control Entries with permissions that are
invalid. The requested action was therefore not performed. This security
permission can be corrected using the Component Services administrative
tool.

This error was caused by framework.exe every time it tried to download
updates. I changed the Launch and Activate Permissions to Default from
Customize and the errors stopped. When the permissions were customized it
was set to use the system account but it did not work, and I do not know
why.

Hi,

In an intraforest migration ADMT actually MOVES the user account by
creating
a new account in the target domain (new SID, but SAME GUID as the
sourceaccount) with the SID of the source account in the sIDHistory of the
target account. This is a destructive operation as there is no (quick)
fallback. The only options for fallback are (only on W2K3) undeleting the
source user account (but first delete the target account!!!) and an
authoritative restore of the user acount in the source domain (but first
delete the target account!!!). The main reason for deleting the target
account, before restoring the source account, is that they have the same
GUID as the source account. In an AD forest (and independent of the AD
domain) NO 2 or more accounts can have the same GUID!!! When also doing
migrating clients (w2k and w2k3 and wxp) there will no need to do a profile
migration as the GUID does NOT change for each account.
Using ADMT, only in an interforest migration is a NON-destructive operation
as source accounts are NOT deleted by default

If I'm correct Aelita's Domain Migration Wizard creates a new target
account
with a new GUID, puts the SID of the source account in the NEW target
account's sidhistory AND keeps the source account for fallback. One of the
caveats here is that you need to do a profile migration. It depends what's
more important in an intraforest migration - fallback for source accounts
or easy profile migration. I think the first!

It is still not clear to me if you also have groups in the source domains
that also need to be migrated and if these groups also have the same names
in all the source domains. Don't forget to define closed sets of security
principals if you don't change groups scope otherwise change the group
scope
to universal sec.. The target domain must at least be windows 2000 native
to
accept sidhistory and universal security groups

For user accounts you must do a many-to-one migration of user accounts
where
the sid history of each source account is added to the sidhistory attribute
of the target account.
With ADMT I think merging user accounts would only work in inter forest
scenarios and not in a intraforest scenario as GUID can not be consolidated
into one account like this which is possible with SIDs

From the ADMT readme.doc (see section Subsequent User Migrations Update
Group Membership of Target Accounts) group memberships will be migrated to
the target where as target group memberships that do not exist in the
source
will be preserved. DON'T use the option remove existing members when
remigrating groups. I'm not sure though how this works in a intraforest
migration scenario.

The most sure thing for you is to create a VMware environment with at least
3 domains (root = target and both childs are source) (each with 1 DC)
create
some users and groups in all domains. Install trial third party tool like
DMW and ADMT and configure accordingly. Create snapshot at this moment.
First try ADMT and then the third party tool. I think in this case a third
party tool like DMW would be the way to go. I don't know about NetIQ
migtooling but I know DMW preserves source accounts even in an intraforest
mig scenario.

[ActiveDir] [Active Dir] Handling Duplicate Accounts During domain Migration

  We are currently trying to migrate all of our child domains into one
single domain. There are 3 child domains, 2 of which are Windows 2000

Native. We plan to use ADMT v2 for the planned migrations.
   There were many different project teams, each with a hand in AD,
before I arrived. When an account was needed in a particular domain it was
just created, even though there were obviously trusts in place.  Now I have
1,000's of duplicate user ID's in the target domain. How would I go about
merging the accounts in the child domains with the accounts in the target
domain?


Thanks,

Yes, all of these domain are in the same forest. We have an empty root
domain, MSROOT.domain and one tree in the forest, DOMAIN.com and 3 child
domains, FM.domain.com, MI.domain.com and RA.domain.com.  The forest
functional level is Windows 2000 while the domain functional level of
MSROOT.domain and DOMAIN.com is Windows 2003. I raised it from Windows 200
Native after the upgrade.

The accounts all follow the same naming standard across all domains.

Are they all in the same forest? You mentioned child domains so I
assume they are, but I just wanted to check. Do the accounts follow
the same naming standard across all the domains? You mention the
target domain is Windows 2003 Native, I assume this means Windows 2003
in Win2k Native mode?

RE: [ActiveDir] Handling Duplicate Accounts During domain Migration

2005-03-23 Thread chris . ryan




I have checked the help files in the ADMT and it appears that it will only
replace the account in the target domain with the account in the source
domain. As a result, the users will be removed from the groups in the
target domain and they will loose access to their applications. I want to
combine the properties of both accounts, however, there does not seem to be
an option for that, other than to do it manually.

Replace conflicting accounts


Changes properties of existing accounts in the target domain to match the
properties of the account with the same name in the source domain.


Note
  When using the Replace conflicting accounts option to remigrate and
  update accounts, the user's group memberships in the source domain
  are checked. The user is made a member of groups in the target domain
  if the user is a member of those groups in the source domain.
  However, the wizard does not remove the user from groups in the
  target domain that no longer exist in the source domain.

So merge is the correct term then?

It's been a while, but I was thinking that ADMT could handle that.  Have
you

Re: [ActiveDir] [Active Dir] Handling Duplicate Accounts During d omain Migration

2005-03-23 Thread chris . ryan




I think during an intraforest migration it is  a copy, as the source user
accounts are left intact and the users can continue to use them. This makes
for an easy roll back if something goes wrong. I have not yet looked at
using other tools as they, of course, will cost money and this tool is
free. Management with the help of a consultant decided that ADMT would be
able to do the job.

Can ADMT merge between two domains in the same forest? Since
intraforest migrations are a move and not a copy I was under the
impression that you couldn't merge accounts while doing that. When
doing an intraforest migration with NetIQ the option to merge
conflicting accounts is not available.

When doing a migration from a domain outside your forest you can
absolutely merge accounts with the NetIQ tool, so I would be surprised
if ADMT couldn't do that as well.
