RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 R2 Issue

In line with Brian’s question – how is the OP reading the secret, and what are the differences between the two servers (and DCs if there are different DCs involved)?

 

If you hook the functions that generate the passwords and convey them to the DC, it would be possible to get this value (in a similar way that you could get a user’s password via a custom passfilt.dll). However without knowing what the OP is doing, and what the differences are between the two environments, it’s impossible to state with any certainty what the “problem” is in the second environment.

 

Cheers

Ken

OK in that case how is the OP reading the secret?

He’s trying to read a secret – you’re not allowed to do that period.

What rev is that other 2003 OS and what type of code are you using?  .Net? Can you post a snippet? ( note: I'm not a programmer, but I sometimes play one on the internet.  If it gets too deep, we'll ask somebody like Joe K to help out; he does that stuff for a living).

Hi,

 

I have one test setup with Windows 2003 R2 with SP1.

Single Domain Topology:

 

AD Server = Windows 2003 R2 + SP1

Exchange Server: - Windows 2003 R2 + Exchange 2003 Ent + SP2 + latest Microsoft security patches.

 

Problem: I am unable to read the machine password of the Exchange Server. It says Error if I try to access the machine password. I need the machine password of exchange server for testing some code. Any idea what could be the reason?

 

I am able to get the password successfully from another exchange server which is running in Windows 2003 OS.
