Forest Trusts
by Guest Nicolas Macarez- 1 reply
- 230 views
Hi! I have two Windows 2003 servers : SERVER1 (W2K3 R2 SP2) and SERVER2 (W2K3 SP2). Each server is acting as a DC for its domain which is in its own forest : SERVER1 is DC for DOMAIN1; SERVER2 is a DC for DOMAIN2. Both servers are on the same LAN (no router, no firewall). The DNS on both servers are set up correctly, with a stub zone pointing to the other server. I established a two-way transitive trust between both forests, using the Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in. I chose the Forest Wide Authentication in both ways of the trusts. My purpose is to enable users from the domain DOMAIN2 to have their Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes hosted on…

NTFS Permissions Issue
by Guest Alan- 0 replies

Hello, I have an issue on my main file server. The structure starts at a root folder with the Administrator, System, and Creator Owner permissions applied and inheritance enabled. Each nested folder has a specific AD group created to control access, this group is given Modify permissions and inheritance is enabled at this level to this folder, subfolders and files. The other day someone was able to move one sub-level directory tree from one sub-level folder to another. To make things more interesting it was during month's end processing! I have successfully restricted the ability to perform this operation to everyone besides administrators. Howe…

Forest Trust Problem
by Guest Demerson- 0 replies
- 191 views
Heya, folks. I'm trying to configure a trust between two Windows 2003 forests. Basically 1.com trusts 2.loc The thing is when I configure the trusts, everything seems to work fine but only one side can see the objects of the other. 2.loc can see and grant permissions to users from 1.com, for example. But when I try to connect to 2.loc from a 1.com, the following message comes out: You can't connect to 2.loc domain because the times are skewed. I checked the times in both servers and it's the same! Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

windows security for remote access
by Guest dg2099@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 176 views
my company manages several domains that are unconnected by a LAN and are different legal entities. My department however is responsible for all these companies' PC and server management and we use RDP to get into them all. The problem is, short of creating unique domain admin user/passwords on each domain, i have no way of tightening security so i can A) know who logged in and when they disconnected or logged out B) when they leave my department, or the company, disable their access to all the domains with a few keystrokes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want them to have the access they need to do their job but need to be able to track who do…

failure audit in security log
by Guest Andy- 0 replies
- 184 views
I am recieving a failure audit message in the security log with event id 537. The reason for the error message is 'an error occurred during logon', and it occurs when I run NTBackup. This is on a DC with a domain admin account. Further down the 'Logon Failure' it mentions 'Authentication Package: NTLM' and it notes the DC I am on as the workstation name. One irregularity is that the FQDN is over 15 characters and therefore when it mentions workstation name it is missing the last few letters. I have also noticed that I can ping the two names and recieve a reply. Anyone with any ideas how I get round this as the error message is preventing me from backi…

Basic volumes disappear after Hotfix updates and reboot
by Guest dirk2112- 5 replies
- 397 views
I have 45 basic volumes (logical drives with extended partitions and no drive letters) that are pointing to an EMC Clarion 700. Over the weekend some folks decided to install some hotfix/patches to my server. After the reboot, the system (disk manager) now only sees 10 of the 45 disks. I am at a loss as to how to find out what happened. Some folks think it is a permission problem related to security, but I don't even know where to look. Any help is appreciated! Mike

Hi Everyone I have 2 domain controllers setup in the business here and we have lost the disk on the primary domain controller. The secondary domain controller is up and running but now i have built a new domain controller it wont let me add the new domain controller to the domain indicating that the domain requires configuration. I know the issue is that the secondary domain controller is not the schema master. Has anyone promoted a domain controller to schema master before without the primary online. Thanks so much Tommy

Hello, where can I disable the automatical schutdown of the service WinHttpAutoProxySvc after 15 minutes inactivity. I need it several times a day and the restart of the service needs a too long time. At this time I start the service every 2 minutes with a batch-file, so it will start, when it was shutdown. But this is not a beautiful solution. Christian

Task scheduler error in W2003
by Guest Bo Berglund- 5 replies
- 463 views
I have a W2003 server that has a task set up to run every 10 minutes. This has worked well for a couple of years. But recently (about Dec 21st, 2007) it stopped working. When I open the scheduled task's properties I am greeted with a message box with the following contents: "General page initialization failed. The specific error is: 0x80090016: Keyset does not exist An error has occurred attempting to retrieve task account information. You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change the task account information." The W2003 server is a secondary domain controller on our network and I am a domain admin, so permissions should not be a p…

Can anyone help me please. For some strange reason my Windows 2003 server now does not detect any USB devices. I know it was working as I had usb pen drives and my printer connected.... The event viewer shows Event 257: Timed out sending notification of target device change to window of "WndClass_CWinDrivesNotifyerHelperWindow" Also notices that the registry had no USB key in HKLM > System > CurrentControlSet > Services It only started when I had troubles getting iTunes to detect a new Ipod Shuffle. Any ideas???? Cheers Paul.

I have a dfs namespace set up. \\usd\homedirs I also have a domain controller at a branch office (that has nothing to do with that namespace) that has a share on it named "homedirs" When I go to \\srv-dc4\homedirs (srv-dc4 is the branch office dc) it opens up \\usd\homedirs is this expected behavior? Do I need to rename that share or something?

Granting Execute Permission on Scheduled Tasks
by Guest Sanjay Pais- 2 replies
- 229 views
We have Windows 2003 servers that are locked down and we are unable to execute scheduled tasks in windows. Is it possible for the Administrator to create a scheduled tasks which will run under the context of a user with Admin privileges. Can he then give us permission to execute/run the task. This way the task will run under the identity of the Admin user rather than mine. The task runs a batchfile that runs a nant script that needs admin privileges to create databases from backup, modify the metabase in IIS to create websites using directory services. Thanks in advance Sanjay
