Re: [ActiveDir] machine GP load

I just whipped up this _vbscript_ to get you started. Idon't have time to provide a more detailed breakdown as that involves a little extra thought, but this should point you in the right direction... Save, for example, as c:\count.vbs and run, from CMD, like so: cscript c:\count.vbs

[ActiveDir] Netlogon and SYSVOL after Restore

We have restored a Domain Controller and on reboot we noticed that the Netlogon, and the SYSVOL folders exists but are not shared. Is this normal, should we share them out ourselves or will it happen automatically? Justin A. Salandra MCSE Windows 2000 2003 Network and Technology

Re: [ActiveDir] Netlogon and SYSVOL after Restore

Check the File replication Service event log for more details. This is a non authoritative restore of FRS. So it is trying to sync with a replica to ensure the sysvol content is up to date. I assume you have more than one domain controller in this domain. Once it syncs, it will bring it online.

[ActiveDir] Replication Topology Explanation..

Hey all -I have an HQ hosting the forest root domain company.com. I have a child domain off-site connected via T1 and it's site.company.com The HQ is running windows 2003 R2 std. The site is currently running windows 2000 sp4 but will be upgraded soon.I have a DR site connected via P-T-P T1. The

RE: [ActiveDir] Replication Topology Explanation..

If you set the servers to want to communicate between sites as bridgehead servers, then it will autogenerate site links that fit this topology. Otherwise all of the domain controllers will want to talk to each other. Being a member of the root domain, it will have everything needed to get

Re: [ActiveDir] Replication Topology Explanation..

thanks.so if the DR domain controller is only set to replicate to 1 domain controller in HQ -- this should be fine ? should it hold any FSMO roles, be a DC.i would still imagine if the other DC's can't talk to this DC - dcdiag and repadmin would fail or generate errors. On 8/10/06, Kevin Brunson

RE: [ActiveDir] Replication Topology Explanation..

As long as they have the bridgehead server in their site they wont even try to talk to the other domain controller unless it is a FSMO. So you might want to leave that off of there. I would probably make it a GC though. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

[ActiveDir] Password resets

There is talk about using a home grown speech recognition system to reset a user's password. You would need to enroll, the system would recordyour voice and if you ever wanted to reset your password, it would ask you to repeat a word of its choice. The system would use a service account

RE: [ActiveDir] Password resets

I can almost hear a tumbleweed blow through . Ive never seen an effective voice recognition system work in the real world but would love to if anyone has? Would it not be easier to go for a simpler auth method, i.e. RSA, mobile (cell phone), finger, token, etc? You shouldnt have to

RE: [ActiveDir] Password resets

Excuse my heavily-accented-French, but .. This is crap. Not just because the voice-rec technology itself is not matured, but also for the fact that its application in the scenario you are envisaging is very impractical. And, you are asking for elevated credentials to boot. What's that?

Well all I can say is that we have several partners that have built password and pin reset capabilities on top of Microsoft Speech Server 2004 and have customers that are very satisfied with them: http://www.microsoft.com/speech/solutions/password/default.mspx . It is something that I get asked
