How do I know what users are currently logged in? They are all logging
into the domain into active directory but I don't know where to see the
users that are currently logged and which ones aren't. Secondly would
it show if they are idle?
List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm
You can use the Server Manager for the same..

Guys,
You have managed to confuse me!
Why don't you just delegate the permission on the computers to container to
your Technical Services and Lan Admin groups - so they can create
computer objects and are not bound by the quota, as it does not apply if you
have the create computer object
You too, eh?

This is a UNIX or Mainframe mindset. Logons are a more nebulous concept
in Windows. There isn't anything keeping a running tally of who has
logged into the domain and who has logged out. Doing something like that
is difficult at best in a distributed system like the Windows domain
structure is.
No offense taken, I'm not average. I'm one of the worst users you know.

Heh. Couldn't resist. Happy Tuesday.

You'd be wrong, mostly.
Within a tree, the parent/child domains all know about each other by nature
of the delegation process. Across trees, you'd need to pull secondaries.

The reset computer account passwd idea is interesting. Maybe building an OU

I had heard some where that you no longer had to perform
authoritative restores using ntdsutil with Windows Server 2003. I was under
the impression that there was now a recycle bin concept that would basically

Initially just to see them but both sound good :-)

The version for XP works on all of them I believe (NT 4.0,2000,2003).
It's on the install cd's in the I386 folder adminpak.msi, or available for download from microsoft. I don't have the URL handy, sorry.

Joe,
Windows Server 2003 only allows for objects to be "untombstoned", but
there is no recycle bin. You can still perform an offline authoritative
restore from a system state backup. More information
about how to untombstone through scripting can be found here:
For a vbs script sample to do this see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCen
ter/user/ScrUG69.asp
Should work for both NT and 2000/XP.

I just checked for the Allow Dynamic updates on all DNS servers. They are
all configured to allow. I have taken a netmon trace too as I thought RPC
failures could be a contributing factor, but the netmon trace disproved that
as I see them being acknowledged. DNS seems to configured correctly,
You can do it with a computer start up script GPO option that executes a
simple net localgroup command; it will work fine because that script
executes as local system. The restricted groups GPO option will
definitely overwrite though.
