RE: [ActiveDir] Delegation of Control Wizard

[joe]

Enabled/Disabled is maintained in the userAccountControl. Unfortunately that is a flag attribute and controls several things like not requiring passwords, etc. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""> for a semi-accurate listing. I say semi-accurate because say lockout isn't handled there any more...   Strictly speaking, you can not directly delegate the ability to only disable/enable accounts within AD natively. You would need some system that follows business rules for you and does the work through proxy such as an enterprise manager or web site or something.     joe      From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Olegario, Alan Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 11:19 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Delegation of Control Wizard Thanks for the info.  Would you know what permissions need to be set if we want to give them the right to ONLY enable an account if it’s disbled?   Thanks again.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 9:41 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Delegation of Control Wizard   Well it is the same in 2K and K3. You give the following permissions   WRITE lockoutTime CA  Reset Password         You can do that with subinacl or adsiedit or ADUC (using dssec.dat mods).   All permissioning in AD should be to security groups and you add people to security groups. One thing you don't want to do that I have been seeing a lot of lately is 10 different groups with reset password. Secure the resource with a resource specific group and then add people/groups to that resource group.... I.E. If you have some people that can unlock, some can reset, have two groups. One for unlock, one for reset. If people who can unlock can reset, use one group.   You should do these delegations at the OU level, not piecemeal user by user.     joe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Olegario, Alan Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 9:34 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Delegation of Control Wizard We are looking to give our helpdesk only the rights to reset passwords and unlock accounts.  We found that in Win2k that this was difficult to do using the Delegation of Control Wizard, so we did it using a security group.  But now, I’ve been reading that it should be much easier in Win2k3.  Does anyone know the exact permissions that we would need to give our helpdesk so that the only thing they can do reset passwords and unlock accounts?   Thanks.   Alan Olegario Tiffany & Co.
