The culprit of this strange ghostly reappearance is simply a result of how AD replication functions. Given the right conditions, the normal operation of AD replication can be circumvented and deleted objects can seem to rise from the dead. >> CLICK for the full tip: http://www.searchWin2000.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci933591,00.html?track=NL-23 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= EXTENDING AD'S REACH TO NT AND 9X CLIENTS | by Serdar Yegulalp Administrators in charge of a domain that uses Active Directory are usually pleased at the way AD can be used to manage both user accounts and machines. But Windows 95/98/ME and NT 4.0 clients aren't supported by Active Directory, and so workstations with those operating systems are left out in the cold. A common answer to such a problem is to upgrade the older clients, but if the money simply isn't there to do so, another strategy is in order. >> CLICK for the full tip... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci932947,00.html?track=NL-23 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= APPLY PERMISSIONS TO AN ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT | Ask Paul Hinsberg Dear Paul: We are trying to apply the permission "allow add/remove self" to a number of groups that reside in an organizational unit. When I view the permissions of one of the groups, the permission "add/remove self" is visible. However, when we view the permissions of the OU in which all the groups reside, the permission is not visible. We understand that this is because the unit is not a group, so it does not have this property -- hence, it cannot be defined. We would like to apply the permissions to the whole unit so that any new groups created will inherit this permission. Is this possible? >> CLICK for Paul Hinsberg's expert response: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid555419_tax285115,00.html?track=NL-23 Want more tips like this one?
