Title: Re: [ActiveDir] delegation not working on Win2k AD

I wonder if something is just ‘broken’ (and missed) as you’ve been making changes.  It sounds like everything is in place correctly.

 

You might try this, as it will serve you well in many ways:

 

Background

It is a best practice not to be adding computers ‘willy nilly’ to the Computers container, since it is unmanaged.  You’ll probably want to be adding computers to an actual OU, to which you’ve linked appropriate GPOs.  It is also a best practice to create the computer account in advance of joining the computer to the domain; or to use NETDOM or WMI to join computers to the domain, so that one way or another they end up in the correct (end state) OU, rather than in a generic container.  If you have W2K3 domain functaional level, you can also redirect the ‘default’ computers container into a custom OU.  See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324949 .

 

Suggestion

Start over with your task, since you’ve tried everything and have done things well.  Start with a “fresh” OU, delegate your techs group the CC (Create Child) and GA (Full Control) of computer objects in the OU.  Test by logging on as a tech and using ADUC to create a computer object; then join a workstation (same name) to the domain.  See what breaks, if anything.  If anything breaks, create a NEW tech user account, put it in the same group that has been delegated permissions, and try again.  If the new tech can add computers (using ADUC) to the new OU and join computers to the new accounts, try one last ‘round’ of the new tech doing the same thing back in your old container.

 

NEXT STEPS

 

I’d be happy *try* to help you directly if you’d like.  LMK where exactly things are breaking.  I’d just need to look at the ACL on the Computers container and your “new” OU and an RSoP of a Technician

 

1)       Use the following command to dump the permissions on the container:

dsacls "CN=Computers,DC=windomain,DC=local" >desktop\dsaclsdump.txt

Replacing the domain name and/or Container/OU as appropriate

2)       Please run two RSoP reports using the Group Policy Management Console

a.       A Technician on a technician’s computer

b.      A Technician on a domain controller

Save the reports (they come out as HTML)

 

Send me the three files (I probably don’t need all three, but they’ll be helpful).   I don’t have *tons* of time today, but I’ll be happy to take a quick look.  My email is dan-dot-holme-at-intelliem-dot-com.

Hi Rick ,

            Thanks for the answer, I double checked and I already have the “technicians” full control on computer objects set on the Computers container.

 

Any other Ideas?

I agree with many of the other posts here – a domain level is likely the correct area to do this, simply because the usual location for a joined computer is the Computers Container – not an OU.  If they don’t have access to the container, then they aren’t going to be able to join them.

 

What is the scope of the delegated permissions?  Is it ‘This object and all child objects’?  Also, I think that I’d create a new delegation in the Advanced properties of the AD Securities tab (it might exist – if you aren’t used to using the Advanced view of Security in AD, you won’t see it) for the techs.  This time, however – you are going to want to select Computer Objects from the dropdown, then select ‘Full Control’ for the techs.  Save this.

 

If you don’t have a clear idea on how to proceed, reply back.  I’ll send or post detailed instructions with pictures, if necessary, on how to do exactly what you want.

Hi,

            Thanks for the hint, but I did it too…

Here are the settings I have. In the user rights the group technicians is allowed to add computers to the domain.

 

I also have the following perms on the “Computers” OU

List content

Read all properties

Write all properties

Read permissions

Create computer objects

Delete computer objects

Read Container info

Write container info

Read heuristics

Write heuristics

 

 

I used the delegation wizard on the domain, not on the OU.

 

Is there anything else I’m missing?

 

Thanks

Hello ;-)

If You want to delegate creation of computers for a subset of users, you may have to create a security groups (ie:technicians group), then go to the "Default domain controller policy" on "Domain Controllers" OU, and not on the "Default Domain Policy" of your Domain root.

Add your group to "Join computer to the domain". Notice that you have already security objects such as authenticated users: remove this group if necessary.

Then your users will have the rights to join computers to domain: those will appear by default in "Computers" container.

Cheers,

Yann TIROA

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.

Regards

Mark

Hi Michael,

By default everyone in the domain can join up to 10 computers. My only
thought is that you may have inadvertnly configured the wrong setting and
after they added the 10 machines they are now be denied the right to do so.
The corerect seeting is " add workstations to a domain ".

Hi,
             I used the delegation wizard to delegate the "join computer to
the domain" task to the technicians group. Everything worked fine until
today. For no apparent reasons, it gives an access denied to the
technicians group members when they try to join a computer to the
domain. Nothing has changed on the system, I mean manually.

When I go into the security tab, I can see that they have the right to
create computer objects.

I tried to use the delegation wizard again, but still no go.

Ideas anyone?
Thanks
