Yes certainly. The useraccountcontrol is set to 544. how can I do the diagnostics on the exchange side? What diagnostics should I enable? I tried setting diagnostics to verbose for some modules, but didnt give me sufficient information. Thanks much, Mayuresh. From: [EMAIL

Hi Steve, (Maybe I should add this issue to the OT-Biggest AD Gripes thread!) Each of the actions I've taken so far, in my mind, should have gotten this DC back to the appropriate site. But it still thinks it should be in the original site! One item I find is the

That would tell me that the homeMDB value either isn't correct or isn't being set properly. homeMDB is a linked DN attribute, it *MUST* be valid when it is set. If the tool allows you to retreive the extended LDAP error that would be great, if not get out a network sniffer and trace the

We do not recommend changing the dynamicsitename parameter and hard coding it using the SiteName parameter is also not recommended since later you may forget that this is set and no matter what you do the DC will assume it is in the site you put in the key even if that site does not really

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

Thanks, Jorge. The topology is as follows: - Each office connects to the hub via a point-to-point VPN. That is, there is no bridging at the hub -- this is a bandwidth consideration. - As for AD: we have three sites Hub, B1, B2, and B3. - Each has a single DC that is also a GC. - There are

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

yeah... this is also the first thing I thought. I also thought of something else. Will those users ever need to access their old resources? (like mail, files ,etc) If no access is allowed how are you going to do that? Exmerge all mailboxes into PSTs en burn files on DVD or something like that?

If the UI is showing it in the correct site then the object in the directory has moved and the DC is in the new site you can confirm this by looking and a repadmin /showreps output or by using LDP and looking at the configuration container looking at the objects under the site. As far as the
