WEB based remote AD user manager - in windows?
by Guest Radioman- 0 replies
- 173 views
Hi all, As title, I am looking for an inexpensive preferably WEB based Active Directory user manager. I expect (in the usual fashion) one is buried in Windows somewhere (as are lots of useful things..) I have setup IAS using AD to run as a Radius server; my users are the wireless MACs from a number of access points, and I want to allow techs limited access to my AD on a W2K3 server to edit, add or delete only the wireless MACs group. I don't want a tech to delete my ADMIN account for example (even though I did that once myself, but there is a KB article on how to get back in if you are local to the server ;-)) So - I can find a number of solution…

Override Default Domain Policy - how??
by Guest Okramo- 9 replies
- 596 views
Hi, I've created OU "Testers". Opened "Testers" properties and at Group Policy menu created Group Policy Object linked to OU "Testers". There at GP Object I've changed setting required password complexity and disabled it. Also I've blocked Policy Inheritance to disable applying Default Domain Policy to my OU "Testers", cause there in Default Domain Policy I have password complexity configured which I don't want to assign to OU "Testers". My problem is that when I want to create user in OU "Testers" it always warns me to use complex password, which is configured at default domain policy. I can't create user with simple password what I was planning to ac…

User accounts getting locked out frequently
by Guest Tom Edelbrok- 2 replies
- 265 views
To all, We have a Server 2003 network (2 Domain Controllers, 3 member servers, and about 60 Windows XP SP2 clients). About 3 months ago we noticed that the occasional user would get into a lockout problem after having changed their expiring password successfully. What happens is that after changing their password they can run fine for a while (even logging out and back in), but then all of a sudden their account gets locked out. However, they haven't done anything to lock it out (ie: they haven't put in a bad password three times in succession). We unlock their account and they work fine for a day or so, then boom - it happens again. It occurs while the…

- 322 views
I keep going to "Windows Desktop Search" (WDS) Index Options and uncheck Microsoft Office Outlook. But after a while I go back and see, the check mark is put back on and the "Index these locations" includes that again. Is there a way to prevent it from being indexed? Thanks. I have other problems with WDS. For instance, some files are not indexed. But I'll deal with that later. Yong Huang

Re: SP2 RIS to WDS conversion gives PXE-T01: File not found errors

Re: SP2 RIS to WDS conversion gives PXE-T01: File not found errors Same results here but also have a new issue now. It seems that both broadcom and intel teamed nics are having a problem with spanning-tree. We are running spanning-tree on Cisco 3750 switches with no problems until SP2 was installed. I'm not sure what could have changed that would have an effect on spanning-tree but we turned it off and the problem goes away. The issue is the build never starts as it stops with a tftp timeout. Any ideas? -- eworkman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eworkman's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=493…

I cant upgrade to R2 because these file servers are three node clusters using Veritas Storage Foundation HA 5.0 and they seem to break when the smallest change is made. I do, however require the funtionality of being able to block specfied file types from being saved, quota's being implemeted etc. Is there a way to get past the upgrade to R2 Thanks
