AFP only works for Active Directory "Domain Admins"

I have purchased a new XServe to add to our Active Directory domain as a member server. It all seems to work right except that only users in AD who are members of the "Domain Admins" group seem to function properly under AFP.
The Mac Clients can connect to our Windows boxes just fine and AD login's seem to work for loggin in any clients. I've created a shared volume on the XServe and when I try to access it via AFP with any user account that doesn't have Administrator rights I get "Invalid Login or Password" on the Mac Client.
Anyone got any ideas, this is driving me crazy.

Post to the appropriate server forum or AD forum where people dealing with these products hang out.

ADFS2012R2 Install: Why does this need Active Directory Domain Admin Account as one of the pre requisites for installating AD FS server

Team,
We were trying to configure AD FS through ADFS Wizard on Windows 2012 R2 box as part of ADFS upgrade from ADFS 2.0 to ADFS 3.0. But the installation got stuck in between as the domain account which we were using does not have admin privileges on the AD side.
We have to raise to AD team to elevate the rights of the service accountb we are using.
Can any one please tell me why having an admin AD account is pre requisite for the AD FS configuration, what are the "Write" changes which occur at Active Directory side post ADFS installtion, we need this details to supply to AD team for the justification
purpose.
Would appreciate any detailed response on this query
thanks
Lav

Hi,
dont know all exact objects ADFS is trying to create in AD, but it needs to create some container and objects under cn=Programm Data,DC=domain,dc=com for sharing certificates.
We had troube with this because the container does'nt exists.

Principal Name for Active Directory "Domain Users"

Hi,
I successufully integrated Weblogic & Active Directory Kerberos (SSO). I tested a web application and successifully logined it with authentication.
The system automatically recognized my Active Directory username. It worked.
For authentication in my weblogic.xml I used
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
<principal-name>kursat</principal-name>
<principal-name>fenerbahce</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
Now I'm trying to allow all domain members to authenticate my application. For my application I only need the actice directory usernames for them.
For this purpose, I removed "kursat","fenerbahce" from my weblogic.xml
<principal-name>kursat</principal-name>
<principal-name>fenerbahce</principal-name>
I added
<principal-name>Domain Users</principal-name>
instead of writing all domain users.
However I couldn't authenticate. I got the "Error 403--Forbidden"
Is there anyone can help me?

test by creating a groups under Domain Users and use it as your principal name in your weblogic.xml

Recommended Specs for Active Directory Domain Controllers?

Good to know, most have around the specs you're all recommending. Most have extremely high CPU reading, however I've found out that it's a security software causing this.Best practices would be that a DC run no more than AD DS, DNS, and DHCP.
Good point, I should also write a script to query the roles of each DC and work to migrate extra roles off it.Unless you're bouncing off of licensing limits, there isn't a good reason any more to run anything extra on your DC if you're virtualized.

Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

Hi everyone,
I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
Help appreciated,
John

Hi John,
Thanks for posting.
Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
To disable Write Caching:
1. Go to Device Manager.
2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
6.Click OK.
If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

Setting disk quota on Mac server for Active Directory users

I'm having trouble setting disk quotas for Active Directory users with home folders on our Mac server.
I've enabled disk quotas on the disk I'm putting home folders on, and I can set disk quotas for local users on the server just fine. But it doesn't seem to work for Active Directory users. I've tried setting disk quotas via Workgroup Manager and via the command line using edquota. But when I use the repquota command there is no quota entry for the AD user. I've run quotacheck and that didn't help either.
I also understand there's a setquota command but there's no man page on how that works.
Has anyone got disk quota for AD users working.
Better still has someone got a shell or perl script for setting quotas they could post.
Thanks
- Cameron

sorry.. I am soooooo stupid... I have to activate "File Sharing" as well.. for the user everything was already pre-activated, not for the AD users, I just saw the Time Machine checkbox grayed out ...

Lion Server 10.7.4 VPN service not using my Active Directory domain for authentication

I have Lion Server 10.7.4 setup on a Mac Mini and I have enabled the VPN service for both L2TP and PPTP. The Mac Mini is joined to my Windows Domain at a functional level of Server 2008 R2. I have set the authentication paths to point to my domain in Directory Utility.
What I would like to have happen is for my laptop to be able to VPN into my office network remotely using domain credentials and not local account credentials on the Mac Mini itself. This is a process I have done numerous times on Windows boxes, but for some reason the only way I can get the VPN to work on this instance of Lion Server 10.7.4 is by authenticating using local accounts only.
Does Lion Server 10.7.4 only authenticate VPN users based on it's local account schema? Or can it truly authenticate against an active directory domain?
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Hi g-pirtle,
Yes, I had already done that a few days ago. I was able to add the desired AD group to the allowed users/groups for the VPN service. Thats exactly what is so weird about this...it allows me to search for and add an AD user or group to the list of allowed users/groups, but then when I actually try to use a domain account to authenticate to the VPN is just gives me the "cannot authenticate" error. Very strange.
I wondered if for some reason Apple is only allowing local accounts to be authenticated against. Sounds crazy, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I also wondered if Kerberizing the server would help, but when I go to join a Kerberos realm in Open Directory inside of Server Admin, it just has no realm listed in the drop down menu.
Other than that, all other aspects of the Mac Mini being joined to the AD domain seems to be good. I'm really stumped here...
Thanks again,

Working with XServe in Active Directory Domain

I'm starting to lose my mind. Is anyone else working with an XServe in a strictly Active Directory domain? Im essentially using it as an FTP and SMB file server. All sorts of weird stuff happens out of the blue like, all of a sudden today I can no longer log in to the Local Admin account no matter what I do (I've reset the password, tried logging in automatically). Root account no longer lets me in...the only way I can get in is to log in as a Domain admin YET, if I log into the server through Workgroup Manager or Server Admin with the credentials for Local Admin, I get in just fine. What gives? It feels like there's major permissions screwiness going on...
And earlier, file sharing permissions just weren't working no matter what permissions I gave to who. It is driving me nuts.
Anyway, if anyone has ANY wisdom to impart re: using XServe to manage files, FTP, etc... in Active Directory I would love to hear it: tips, stories, experiences, resources, how to's etc...
Thanks

This area is more for the XServe hardware, you need to post in the Mac OS X Server software section, as the OS can run on more than just hardware, hence the software category.

The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted

I have 2 domain controllers running 2003 server, server1 and server2. I ran dcpromo on server1 and removed AD and removed him from the domain and disconnected from network. I then added a 2012 server
with the same name and IP address server1 with no problem. Replication from sites and services work fine on both controllers.
The new 2012 server1 is GC. I transferred all FSMO roles to server1. Again no problem and replicating using sites and services. AD on server1 is populated correctly.
Now what I had intended on doing was a dcpromo to remove server2 from the domain so I can then add another 2012 server. That is when I get the: "The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain
is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted.
I have DNS installed on both servers and both look good with replicating there. Strange thing is when on the 2012 server within DNS if I right click and connect to another DNS server I can add server2 just fine but from server2 adding server1 it tells me it
is not available.
Help please!

Hi,
As there is server 2012 DC (SERVER1) DC is operational in a domain then "This domain controller is the last controller for the domain" should be remain unchecked when you demote SERVER2 DC.
If you are getting error "Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted" while demoting SERVER2 DC then check the DNS pointing on both as per below article, disable windows firewall on all DC, less possiblities but worth to check if both
are different site then check the ports are open on firewall.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/584.active-directory-replication-over-firewalls.aspx
run “ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns“, restart DNS server and NETLOGON service on each DC and try to demote server2 DC.
If issue reoccurs, post dcdiag /q result.
NOTE: If initial replication was completed between both DC (new 2012 and old DC) then you may remove the server2 DC from Active Directory forcefully (DCPROMO /FORCEREMOVAL) and perform metadata cleanup.

What Is The Domain Name System for Active Directory on My Computer a Mac OS X

When I try to bind my mac to an active directory domain I get the error message (“An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest”). I have tried so many things,nothing works
Any suggestions?

In general, the domain name you use must be correctly looked up (both backward AND forward) by the Domain Name Server you are using or using Active Directory or Open Directory will not work properly.
In general, the first-listed DNS Address for each workstation must be one that contains the Active Directory or Open Directory names.
You can use Network Utility "Lookup" function to test whether the names and the IP Addresses are looked up correctly. Both symbolic (e.g., mydomain.com) and numeric (e.g., 192.168.2.22) addresses of the Active directory server MUST lookup to the other.
In MacOS X Server installations with private, non-Internet-visible Domain names, this problem can be solved by providing a local DNS Server, and populating the DNS Server with the Active Directory or Open Directory names and IP Addresses set for forward and reverse lookup.
If the above is gibberish to you, you will need to contact your Active Directory Administrator for guidance.

Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering

Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:
NASE-2012-234   4015   Error   Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service   DNS Server   1/14/2014 12:54:06 AM
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
When I click on DNS this is the error:
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.

Documentation on Active Directory Domain Rename for VMware

Aplogies if my questions are elementary. Just getting started with VMware.
We are looking to update our virtualized Active Directory domain name. I have the documentation for that, but want to make sure I have the list of articles needed to make sure the VMware is properly updated as well.
I found the following documents:
configure host to use active directory:
https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUID-63D22519-38CC-4A9F-AE85-97A53CB0948A.html
setting DNS configuration vmware
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.examples.doc%2Fcli_manage_networks.11.8.html
Is there anything else?
Which do I update first? The VMware info or the Active Directory.

Hi David,
Based on my experience, you’d better pay attention to the following two points:
1. After you have completed the installation of Exchange 2010, you have to create an Accepted Domain of “uvwxyz.org”.
2. If you want to use Autodiscover, you need to configure the additional settings for “uvwxyz.org”. You could refer to the article below:

Policy domain root for Activer directory

I am setting up the access manager with active directory . But during web configuration ,it prompts for providing a policy domain root. I choose go ahead with default vlaue (i.e /). But it is returning me following error.
"Error in setting Policy Domain Root."
Please some one help out in resolving this issue.

Hi Nataraj,
I know what your problem is. Go to the computer running Active Directory, open "Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts" under Start -> Administrative tools. Right click on your domain shown and choose "Raise Domain to Functional level", you might need to this three to four times before this takes effect.
Then on the same window, right click on "active directory domains and trusts" and choose "Raise Forest functional Level", you might need to do this three times as well.
This will solve your problem, unfortunately you'll have to reinstall Access/Policy Manager. I have had this problem many times and this solved it. I am assuming you are using Windows 2003 Enterprise server.

Laptop (Running Windows 8.1) no longer able to print and now see message Active Directory Domain Services is not available

Have a very recent Lenovo Ideapad Laptop running Windows 8.1. Connected via USB port to HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 frw Color MFP Printer. Was able to print fine nearly 2 weeks ago, but something recently happened - either a new windows or office 2013 update
or perhaps I blew away a certain file by mistake. I can see the printer installed but cannot print to it from anything (Word, Notepad, IE, Firefox etc.). The one thing to note is that usually when I plug or unplug a USB related device, Windows 8.1 recognizes
this and makes a certain chime noise, but with the printer USB cable it never makes that noise - making me think that it never fully recognizes the printer. Also when I select the printer (from within the control panel) and right click for properties (via
admin rights) It never lets me fully connect to it.
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc. Its really annoying because this printer was working fine nearly 2
weeks ago. Looking for any advice now. Thanks.
-Chris

Hi Chris,
à
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc.
I noticed that you had reinstalled the printer. Just a confirmation, when un-install this printer, please check
if this printer still exist in registry. For more details, please refer to following KB.
Registry entries for printing
If printer entry still exist in registry, please delete that printer entry and re-install this printer again,
then check if this issue still exists. (Please backup registry entries before operating registry. It will help us to avoid unexpected issue.)
àand now see
message Active Directory Domain Services is not available
By the way, would you please let me know where/when get this
Active Directory Domain Services is not available error message? Or provide a screenshot of it?
(Please hide all protected or private information) Please check if all services are running correctly on the computer. Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if can help you.
Printer
Problem: Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable – Why does windows say no printers are installed?
