1. What do you think your replication latency is supposed to be based upon your knowledge of your topology and your link configurations? This isn't something you have to guess at. Look at your DC placement and your replication topology and it will tell you the exact theoretical max

[ActiveDir] blocking user access to terminal services via group policy

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to block terminal service access by user using group policy- is this something that can be addressed by a user configuration setting or is this an issue better handled on the terminal server- i.e. granting or denying 'log on locally' rights? I'm

I think it would be better if you just clear the "Allow Logon to Terminal Service" attributes for all your users. Then you will come back andenable this attribute for any specific user you want to grant the right to. It's cleaner than trying to do this server-by-server. The problem with this,

Hi, when you are using windows 2003 as terminal server, there is the way of ading users or groups to the local group on the TS server, which is called RemoteDesktopUsers. You can add members to this group by using the restricted group policy in a domain You can simulate this on win 2000,

On a 30 user LAN, I'd say that you're probably fine as is. You're going to want to check the obvious stuff - disk layout, memory utilization and ensuring that your network cards are set at fixed speeds rather than autosens. --

Eric - we basically did what you suggest...our CN, name, and sAMAccountName attributes are the same. WebSphere users can use their LAN ID and password. Since WebSphere also grabs the group membership info for the user when they log in, it can map this to the 'roles' in the J2EE application,

Thanks all for the feedback. We are a very centralized shop as well (and seem to be on a company buying spree...). The Enterprise Security team really wants to make AD the strategic direction for authentication strategy as well part of a staged user provisioning and automation mechanism.

It will get that password back immediately unless the PDC is really busy or otherwise unavailable The way I'm reading this is that you are saying password change will trigger immediate replication to the PDCE. Iin my experience (which I don't have to describe to you :)), this is not the case.

No, MIIS is not being used. I don't believe that the Security Group reviewed the product. They are about to pilot/implement CA Enterprise Admin. Like MIIS, it has hooks into some of the major LDAPs and is supposed to be very scriptable. In fact, although they have an AD integration piece,
