The file is in the user's redirected My Documents, and they are the owner of said file and have Full Control for it in the NTFS permissions. When they try to rename the file to replace a lowercase letter with the same letter in uppercase, they get a message that says You need permission to perform this action. You require permission for OUR_DOMAIN\Their.username to make changes to this file. However, if they rename the file and replace that letter with something different, it's fine. So for example, the file is called 'firstName.txt' and they try to rename it to 'FirstName.txt' it will throw the error. But if they rename it to 'LirstName.txt' it's happen. They can then rename it to 'FirstName.txt' and it's fine. The clients are all Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1, but I have seen this on remote file servers that are Windows 2003 as well as 2008 R2. It doesn't seem to matter what the file type is (text, WordDoc, etc), and doesn't happen on local drives.

I will be happy to accept a nudge in the right direction (or a cluex4, if I'm missing the obvious) The script imports user data from a csv; and uses that data to create their username and email address. Then it checks if the username / email is in use; gives an error if it does, creates the user or mailbox if it doesn't. It also updates attributes, one being the employee number. I need to export the newly created usernames, emails, and the employee number. I've created an array that adds each new user, and then is exported to a csv. Everything works, except the employeenumber, which is what HR is using as the primary key. The array is $createdusers +@() and then: $createdusers += $Newuser $createdusers|select displayname,name,email,employeenumber |export-csv C:\temp\scripts\tryagain.csv Any ideas to get the employeenumber to export?

RE: GPOs back from the dead
Sounds like you have some sysvol replication issues. DCDiag should be your friend here. In general, those ntfrs_ folders are from replication conflicts so you can usually delete them safely. I'd check your replication topology for sysvol (maybe dead links or an old DC still in there) as well as your File Replication Service event logs on the domain controllers to see what replication errors are being thrown. DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE -Original Message- From: Bill Songstad [mailto:bsongs...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 1:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GPOs back from the dead Hi folks. I have an issue that I can't seem to pin down and am hoping someone here can help out. I recently inherited a W2K3 domain with about 20 DCs - some W2K3 some W2K8R2. The Default Domain Controller's policy is largely empty. However, at some point in the past, the Default Domain Controller's policy had dozens of settings. I recently moved a number of DCs into another container where the Default Domain Controllers policy was applied and enforced above a policy to temporarily change some WSUS settings. However, some of the DCs started applying the old (years old...) Default Domain Controllers policy. RSOP.msc revealed the dozens of policies from the old Default Domain Controllers policy being applied. Then when I moved the DC back to its original container and ran gpupdate /target:computer /force, the policy was updated to the current policy and related problems went away. Checking the sysvol folder on all of the DCs for policies referencing the old settings I discovered that 17 of 20 DCs have a secedit folder in sysvol \Policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}\MACHINE\Microsoft\Windows NT with the old policies configured. There are also 3 to 5 folders named secedit_ntfrs_ that do not have the settings or any settings for that matter. The other 3 DCs do not have the secedit folder at all, but they do have the secedit_ntfrs_ folders. So, I have two questions. 1) Why did these settings suddenly get applied? I mean the same Default Domain Controllers Policy was linked and enforced in both containers. and 2) How do I exorcise these old settings? Just delete the Secedit folders with the old data? Delete the gptTmpl.inf files with the old data? Something else? I'm a little fearful of blowing things out of the sysvol folder even if they are wrong. I guess I'm a little fuzzy on the replication process.

I have one server that has many snapshots. It is probably because BackupExec wasn't able to delete the snaphot properly after the vm backup. This is only an issue on this server. When I browse the datastore -- server name, I see at least 10 snapshots. I've tried to consolidate the snapshots via the client, but each time I get an i/o error.

Active Directory is a mess. It is still at Windows 2000 functional level. I need to address this before a planned migration to Exchange 2010. There are a few Windows 2000 domain controllers that I need to decommission, and my memory is foggy on Windows 2000. The name for the AD domain is like ABCdomain.com. The pre- Windows 2000 name is just ABC. Oddly, a number of systems seem to want to use ABC and not ABCdomain - these are 2003 servers and PCs mostly. Are there any tools anyone knows of that can tell me which systems refer to that. Since I'm new and the previous person left no documentation, I'm hunting alot now. All of the user IDs have the ABD domain name listed in the Account tab of their accounts, and the field is user logon name (Pre-Windows 2000). Here's the plan to at least remove the 2000 domain controllers (there are 2003/2008 DCs): 1. create new GPOs to address printer and drive mappings. Currently done via mix of batch and kixtart files. 2. Update the account information for users accounts from ABC to ABCdomain (necessary?? ). 3. Demote Windows 2000 domain controllers. 4. Change domain/functional levels to 2003 (minimum required for Exchange 2010). I'm sure I'm missing something. Comments/recommendations appreciated.

Sounds like these are processes they should turn into services or perhaps scheduled tasks. :) But in the interim, I'd think you'd be able to just sign in via Remote Desktop to start the sessions and launch the apps.

RE: Exchange 2003 and firewall or DMZ.
Are you just going to be serving OWA (and possibly ActiveSync) to the Internet or will you also need POP/IMAP? The Ironport taking smtp from the Internet and passing it to your Exchange server is the best bet for that part. For OWA, what I would do is spin up a new Exchange 2003 server, make it part of the existing organization. What you'll do is make it a front-end server which means that it will not host an information store, just serve up OWA/ActiveSync/POP/IMAP. Then what you'll do is make this accessible via HTTPS to the Internet through your firewall (or ideally an ISA/TMG). Make sense?

RE: moving Exchange
In this case I was asking which of the Exchange roles were present, but since it's the only one that answers the question. What might be your smoothest thing is to install the hub transport and mailbox roles on the new server and then move the mailboxes. This can be done online and non-disruptively, and the user transition will be transparent. After all the mailboxes are moved, you can remote the datastores from the current server and remove the mailbox role. This will get rid of the IS (solving your immediate need) and give you a chance to make a smooth cutover for hub transport (should be easy) and client access (not as much). At that second stage, you might want to look at some options for design for your Exchange org to make your life easier in the future, but it depends on how many mailboxes you're looking at.

If it doesn't, you'll have to invest in some other way of getting at those apps (VDI, VM Hosted Apps, etc.) Obviously you won't get as many users on a virtual XenApp system as you do on a physical one (unless your physical ones are highly underpowered) - I've seen round about 30-40 users per box being a ballpark figure dependent on the RAM and processing power you throw at the VMs. The only thing you really maybe need to leave physical is a DNS server, maybe a DC if you want to be able to log in to the domain when everything else is down.

Citrix Web Interface 5.4 with Secure Gateway 3.2 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. Our Citrix farm is currently a mix of Windows 2003/PS 4.5, Windows 2008/XA5, and Windows 2008 x64/XA5. The majority of the servers are on XA5 (only 4 of the 2003 ones left). There is an application (of course something important) that is published on XenApp5Srv1-XenApp5Srv6. When any user attempts to launch that application via the web interface, it sits through the timeout period for hitting the service brokers and then throws the error error connecting to resource. The application can be run without issue via a legacy ICA file that points to the application. The servers XenApp5Srv1-6 only host this problematic app; no others. If I create a new test app (like Notepad) and publish it to those servers the same behavior occurs. If I then take that test application and point it instead to TestXenApp1, it launches and runs without issue. All of these servers have the XML service running on port 80, and IIS is not installed.

But how do I break that down in Powershell? For example, I want to do certain actions if a normal user account is disabled. However, I can't just check for a value of 514 (2+512), since - like this example - the value may be different, even tho this is an account I want to process. So how do I go about testing for ACCOUNT_DISABLED within the total value of UserAccountControl?

W2k8 R2 server environment. I simply need to create a WMI filter for a GPO that applies to the server at internal address: 10.3.61.1. may need to add others later, but for now the one will do.

Here is the current script: Import-Module ActiveDirectory $adminaccount = Get-Credential Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -Like Windows *Server*} -SearchBase DC=domain,DC=local | ForEach-Object -process { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $_.Name -Credential $adminAccount | Select-Object ` @{l='ComputerName';e={$_.__Server.ToString()}},` @{l='Manufacturer';e={$_.Manufacturer.ToString()}},` @{l='Model';e={$_.Model.ToString()}},` @{l='Operating System';e={(Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $_.Name -Credential $adminAccount | Select-Object -expand Caption).ToString()}}} | Export-Csv -Path c:\users\public\documents\ServerInfo.csv -NoTypeInformation DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE From: Damien Solodow [mailto:damien.solo...@harrison.edu] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 3:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Help with PS script?

RE: if/else statement problem.
The ELSE clause must occur on the same line as the command after the IF. For example: IF EXIST filename. ( del filename. ) ELSE ( echo filename. missing. ) The following would NOT work because the del command needs to be terminated by a newline: IF EXIST filename. del filename. ELSE echo filename. missing Nor would the following work, since the ELSE command must be on the same line as the end of the IF command: IF EXIST filename. del filename. ELSE echo filename. missing The following would work if you want it all on one line: IF EXIST filename. (del filename.)

RE: password questions
Considering it sounds like you're talking to individuals about Internet security for their personal things, I'd suggest pointing them to LastPass.

I emailed L0pht at the time and they said they didn't support cracking alt-char passwords. I've heard that this is not the case with other password crackers, but even if so, adding these types of characters extends the time for brute-force cracking astronomically. Even if you take into account rainbow tables, I haven't been able to find a rainbow table that includes that wide of a character set. All that said, we moved away from alt-char passwords since they often introduced incompatibilities. Outlook Web Access was one place they failed for us years ago. Again, I don't know if this has improved, but I would guess not. Another possible problem is trying to use them on devices that lack a method of entering them. Most phone's don't have an alt key and numeric keypad :) One other, note, not all alt-chars are created equal, especially if you're cracking against an LM hash. For instance, alt-141 (ì) is interpreted as simply a lowercase (i).

This will be a fairly light weight discussion and I have a couple of really good references regarding choosing secure passwords and the https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm site for testing. My question for all of you is this: What if you incorporate a symbol not normally found on a keyboard into your password - such as ¢ which requires the key combo alt/0162? Does this increase or decrease the hackability of your password - or is it completely irrelevant? To a hacker, is the actual password alt0162 or is it ¢? Thanks for any information you can offer.
