Hi,



Current AD environment has a single forest and domain with 55 OUs on Server 
2012 R2 at 2012 forest and domain functional levels.



One of the departments, ( aka OU), will be split up between 2 locations (half 
in the US, half in Asia) and will share local and remote resources. The staff 
in the US and Asia will rotate quarterly.



We do have VPN in place and the remote office is having  AD related latency 
issues among other things. Upper management has suggested the possibility of 
hosting a Read-only DC in the remote location and have that DC replicate only 
objects for that one single OU.



Management has no interest in multi-forest nor multi-domain, etc.



Is it possible to configure such a setup?

Dang it...

I forgot to put in the point of the post: Win2012 and Win2012R2
machines with current-ish VMware tools and RSS enabled can experience
some packet loss. Current recommendation until VMware fixes the VMWare
Tools is to older version.

Yuck.

You build these boxes that you enter the data in and then link other

you then only have to enter the info into the data fields.

[NTSysADM] RE: Limit Remote DC to selectively replicate certain OUs?

The compliant is latency and we haven't gotten any numbers to work with.

"You'd end up with an inconsistent and broken mess..." and that's what we 
attempted to convey to upper management because there are additional objects in 
the directory that needs to be updated, GPOs, domain/enterprise admin accounts, 
etc.

Management believes since all the relevant changes to computers, users, groups, 
etc, are within the OU of interest, that's all that needs to be replicated.

Haven't been able to find any documentations to back our claim that it can't be 
done or it's bad practice.

This isn't possible. You can selectively replicate certain attributes, but you 
can't selectively replicate objects.



What is the replication issue you're having? What does the network connectivity 
look like - latency, utilization, bandwidth, etc.?

Hi,



Current AD environment has a single forest and domain with 55 OUs on Server 
2012 R2 at 2012 forest and domain functional levels.



One of the departments, ( aka OU), will be split up between 2 locations (half 
in the US, half in Asia) and will share local and remote resources. The staff 
in the US and Asia will rotate quarterly.



We do have VPN in place and the remote office is having  AD related latency 
issues among other things. Upper management has suggested the possibility of 
hosting a Read-only DC in the remote location and have that DC replicate only 
objects for that one single OU.



Management has no interest in multi-forest nor multi-domain, etc.



Is it possible to configure such a setup?



Thanks,

Fut

[NTSysADM] RE: Question about Word

[Frank Ress]

Historically, the kind of functionality you're describing was typically used to 
personalize form documents.  You'd create a template with tags for the variable 
data, and perform a 'mail merge' against a 2nd file that had the tags and 
associated actual data for each copy of the form.  That doesn't seem like what 
you're describing.  But if it might work, here's a starting place:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Use-mail-merge-to-personalize-letters-for-bulk-mailings-d7686bb1-3077-4af3-926b-8c825e9505a3

There's also a programmatic technique for Office docs called 'smart tagging' 
that would allow you to write .Net code to manage the variable data.  I don't 
have any more familiarity with the capabilities beyond the preceding sentence, 
but you could find more here:

[NTSysADM] RE: Limit Remote DC to selectively replicate certain OUs?

[Brian Desmond]

This isn't possible. You can selectively replicate certain attributes, but you 
can't selectively replicate objects.

What is the replication issue you're having? What does the network connectivity 
look like - latency, utilization, bandwidth, etc.?

Thanks,
Brian Desmond

Hi,



Current AD environment has a single forest and domain with 55 OUs on Server 
2012 R2 at 2012 forest and domain functional levels.



One of the departments, ( aka OU), will be split up between 2 locations (half 
in the US, half in Asia) and will share local and remote resources. The staff 
in the US and Asia will rotate quarterly.



We do have VPN in place and the remote office is having  AD related latency 
issues among other things. Upper management has suggested the possibility of 
hosting a Read-only DC in the remote location and have that DC replicate only 
objects for that one single OU.



Management has no interest in multi-forest nor multi-domain, etc.



Is it possible to configure such a setup?



Thanks,

Fut

My Microsoft Office skills are a bit limited and I can't seem to frame the

I am writing a template document. At the start of this I want to put a section

simply put the correct customer name in here, and then it is updated in every 
part of the document where the customer name needs to appear.

How trolls from 4chan perfectly executed a crowd-sourced intelligence operation 
against Shia LaBeouf [SOFREP Original Content]

Last week, trolls from 4chan executed a highly effective crowd-sourced 
intelligence operation, one that should serve as a case study in modern 
information warfare.

In what illustrates the power of a decentralized and flat operational 
hierarchy, internet trolls from the website 4chan targeted and shut down actor 
Shia Labeouf and his recent “He Will Not Divide 
Us” protest artwork through collaborative 
intelligence gathering.

In its original form, Labeouf had installed a 24-hour livestream camera outside 
a New York art museum on January 20th, where passersby were encouraged to stand 
and communicate messages of support for the protest. After it became the site 
of numerous disruptions and fights, it was moved to New Mexico, where it also 
only lasted a short while.

YouTube]LaBeouf

Labeouf then altered the delivery of the protest by placing a simple white 
flag, bearing the message “He Will Not Divide Us,” in an anonymous location 
somewhere on planet Earth. The 24/7 video live-stream was only looking up at 
the flagpole, showing the flag and the sky behind it, day and night.

Inside of 36 hours, users from the internet forum 4chan located, removed, and 
replaced the protest flag with a Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” red 
hat, and a t-shirt depicting Pepe the Frog.

As soon as the video stream had gone live the day prior, 4chan users began to 
analyze the video footage in an attempt to deduce its location. Through a 
collaborative, crowd-sourced effort, users began to piece together the location 
through several clues.

After LaBeouf was tagged on social media in Greenville, Tennessee, the search 
had a starting point: rural Tennessee.

Noticing several aircraft cross through the video frame behind the flag, flight 
patterns in the skies above Tennessee were analyzed to find a match. Once they 
had a general estimate, they realized the area in rural Tennessee was too large 
to search on the ground.

Sports]Triangulated
 flight patterns led to a general search area

That night, a user analyzed the movements of stars across the frame, using 
known constellations as reference points to better pinpoint the location of the 
flagpole.

 of constellations and general astronomy further narrowed the location

The next morning, a 4chan user got into a vehicle and drove into the suspected 
vicinity of the flag, and began to honk the horn, letting other users watching 
the live feed vector him onto the objective. That night, the snatch was made. 
Beyond the snarky glee people can enjoy by watching in
