did "wmic useraccount list" it shows that about 1/3 of our users do not require a password. we tested this and sure enough they don't. how can we change this to require a password. if there is a wmic command that we can do we have not been about to figure it out, we tried "wmic useraccount set PasswordRequired=true" but have not been able to figure out how to set it for different users.

Shared file in use/Read Only access question ...
by Guest E-Double- 7 replies
- 523 views
When one person is in, say, a Word or Excel document that is in a departmental folder that is shared by say 12-20 people in the department, and another user tries to open the doc that is already in use, the second user will receive the standard 'File in use, read only copy will only be available' (or something to that effect). Is there some way for Windows Server 2003 (or Active Directory?) to either notify the second user or for that second user to find out who the first user is who has the file open and exclusive write rights to that file? The problem is, for example with up to 20 peeps in a department the second user has to call up or check with up to …

Which DC handles LDAP requests?
by Guest John- 0 replies
- 205 views
Hi, We have a group here that is writing web apps that use AD for authentication. Our problem is when they try to authenticate using LDAP, the request is being thrown all over our domain (rather than the local subnet). Sometimes it will hit the local DC, other times it goes to our Mexico site, sometimes over to Maimi, etc. When it goes to our WAN sites, the web app is timing out. What determines which domain is servicing the request and is there anything we can do (aside from hard-coding the DC... due to redundancy reasons of course)? Thanks in advance.

SCW and windows firewall
by Guest yifli- 0 replies
- 194 views
our domain controller is running Windows 2003 server R2 enterprise edition (x64). I've installed service pack 2 for it. I tried to harden the server using Security Configuration Wizard. However, all the exceptions defined in Windows Firewall are gone after running SCW. Although I specified server roles such as DNS server, domain controller in SCW, new machines trying to join the domain failed to communicate with the domain controller. So I had to again define those exceptions in Windows Firewall manually. So my questions are: Does SCW always flush out all the exception settings in Windows Firewall? Why did running SCW not help opening ports in my…
