[ActiveDir] Domain Controller & DNS
Hi All, my name is Hatem , i am new guy here from Egypt, i have the following questions, My Company is Planning to have One-Forest With Multiple Domains Trees. So i was testing it in my home, i have here 3 PC's , i installed on them Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I start with the Root Domain which is the first one, i installed on it the DNS server with the Forward Lookup Zone & Reverse Lookup Zone and i also add the ( .) to my DNS. then i add one forward zone with my domain Name which is ( KTC.COM ), and then i let the Server to register him self first in the DNS , and i made sure the server is able to communicate with the DNS server. then tun the DCPROMO, Promote the Server to Domain Controller and its working fine. the Problem which i face it is when i was trying to add another domain Tree in the exisiting Forest. we brought the second domain controller and while we trying to run DCPROMO, we find that its unable to find the main domain Controller for Root domain. ( unable to find the doamin controller for the doamin KTC.com ) . what we did is, we deleted the DNS from the Second Domain Controller , create New Forward Zone with the name of the second domain on the First DNS, Let the second domain Controller Register him self in the First DNS, wait for 10 Minutes, and then the second domain controller is able to communicate witht the First DNS. Now, we run already DCPROMO, and we find that its done. so , we have 2 domains Tree in Single Forest. But is that Step which we Did is correct or not? and what is the Disadvantages & Advantegs of it in the Future ? can any one help me . Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

RE: [ActiveDir] Recursive serach on Root domain failed.
So I am writing a longer note about the history of VLV fixes we’ve thrown at it and why, but haven’t finished yet, and am trying to decide if it is best done in a blog post or an email to this list (it’s 2 pages so far). In the interim, a couple of thoughts…. From the DSID you’re getting, I’d speculate you’re still doing VLV. I don’t know what you’ve tweaked on the Outlook side, but that’s my suspicion. A network sniff (or some more data) would confirm. However, looking at this more broadly…. If you implement this change as your “fix”, you’ll find you need to do this on every client. That might grow old. J A better fix, assuming 2k3 SP1 DCs (for RTM DCs, you’d need a QFE on them for this, namely a binary from the QFE tree that is Q886683 or later)….. Fire up adsiedit, crack open the config NC Expand CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services. Edit CN=Directory Services. Nav down to msds-Other-Settings. Edit. In the Value to add box, type, without the quotes: “DisableVLVSupport=1”. Click Add. Give that a try, let us know how it goes.

RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange SSL Certificate "Client Authentication"
Noah, I suspect that you’re missing a root certificate. Review your process of creating and importing the certificate into the certificate store to ensure that you, in fact, did have and use the proper Root CA, and that it’s in the correct store. Ironically, (and I know that this is hard to believe) sometimes Microsoft’s automatic process for getting a cert into the right store doesn’t work. ;o) Rick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 3:09 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange SSL Certificate "Client Authentication" Hi – I have OWA running on Exchange 2003.

RE: [ActiveDir][OT] File copy with security intact
with all of the options mentioned (incl. FSMT and RoboCopy) you have to be aware of the limitations of copying ACLs from source to target, which basically depends on how you've ACLed the data on your servers: If you've used Server-Local groups, the tools won't do the work for you to re-create appropriate Server-Local groups on the target machine and convert the SIDs in the ACLs where required (i.e. leave SIDs from non-server-local secprins alone and copy them as is and just replace the server-local stuff with those of the target machine). This is a considerable restriction for consolidating data - but you can also circumvent it by first doing some homework on your own and replace all server-local groups with AD domain-local groups incl. the re-ACLing on the source machine(s). I'm not trying to say that you'd always want to use this approach, as it has other challenges (token group-bloat for user's logging onto the domain etc.), but it may be a valid option depending on your environment. I only know of "non-free" tools, to do this during the file-copy / consolidation which either give you the option to create new server-local groups on the target server or to convert them to AD Domain-Local groups plus do the appropriate ReAcling of the data on the target machine. Too bad Microsoft's FSMT doesn't have this feature, which is one of the main things I don't like with it. Otherwise it's a useful tool, as it will also copy and re-create the shares etc. for you (no big deal, but...) and has a very useful integration with the DFSroot-consolidation feature of Win2003/SP1 (see Q829885 "Distributed File System update to support consolidation roots in Windows Server 2003" if you're unfamiliar with this feature).
