Can't reach global catalog server.....that I am actively pinging....

Hello.
Background
I have a Window server 2008 r2 installation that I fell in on. I removed all roles and features. Renamed, and gave a new ip address
I ran DCpromo and installed AD and DNS. this server was to be the first in a new domain.
After successfully creating the domain, I added my workstation (laptop) to the domain successfully and logged on with a created domain administrator account.
I installed the remote administrator pack for windows 7 onto my workstation
Problem
I ran AD Users and Computers (from my workstation) and proceeded to create a user... only to be told:
"Windows cannot verify that the user name is unique because the following error occurred while contacting the global catalog: The server is not operational."
Troubleshooting steps taken so far:
I have ensured that my workstation and server times match (to the second)
I have ensure they are in the same time zone, date, etc.
I am actively pinging the domain controller from my workstation WHILE I attempt to create the user, so network connectivity is ruled out. they are in the same subdomain, there is no router in between. it is workstation > switch > switch > switch
> server
I checked sites and services, to find only 1 server listed for the sole domain, and it IS checked as the global catalog server
My workstation when added to the domain registered in DNS appropriately. As is the domain controller itself.
DCDIAG /fix reports no errors, everything passes
metadata.cleanup cannot be used because there are not other domains or sites, or servers listed beside the one I created.
Please help....Thank you.

Please use dcdiag /v and repadmin /showreps
to check the DCs health status and AD replication.

A Global Catalog Server could not be located - All GC's are down SBS 2011

I have been searching through these forums and manage to find similar errors but am struggling to find an answer that applies to this me.
I seem to be having a number of issues with our SBS. I believe this was originally domain was previously on a SBS 2003 box before being moved to this SBS 2011 box last year, it has been running fine until yesterday. I cant see anything that has changed then
though.
Everything seems to point to DNS although I am struggling to pinpoint the actual cause. The most worrying is when I try to open something on the SBS such as AD sites and services.
the error is
Active Directory Domain Services - Naming information cannot be located because: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and
is currently online.

I found a few people who have had similar issues that was caused by the "netlogon" service being paused or stopped but in my case it is set to automatically start and is running.
I have also posted this to serverfault (cant post links yet serverfault.com/questions/522691/a-global-catalog-server-could-not-be-located-all-gcs-are-down) added as there may be info there that may help.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, hopefully someone out there has come across this before or can offer something in regards to the next steps I should take.

Some troubleshooting ideas:
0. Check if the DCs can resolve each other using their DNSHostName. If not, this indicates some DNS misconfiguration
-- you need to fix that first.
1. Check if the both the DCs are pointing to the same DNS server (or DNS servers that are replica of each
other). Run: "ipconfig /all" and check its output. If not, correct the DNS client settings and run dcdiag after sometime.
2. Check if dynamic updates are "turned on" on the DNS server.
3. Try re-registering the DCs SRV records by either restarting netlogon service or by running the following
command:
nltest.exe /dsregdns

How to replicate 'memberOf' attribute to global catalog server

Hi,
I am trying to replicate 'member of' attribute to global catalog server, to get the data from child domain where trust is enabled.
i did a little reserach and found that 'isMemberOfPartialAttributeSet' should be true to get it replicated to global catalog server.
in schema, i am trying set 'isMemberOfPartialAttributeSet' true for "is-member-of-DL" attribute and getting illegal modification.
is there any other way, where i can modify (or with help of Microsoft).
OS: windows 2003 R2 (SP2) - MSDN
Thanks!
Karthik
Thanks, Karthikeyan R

Hi Karthik,
Based on my tests, the right way to modify attributes that replicate to the Global Catalog is:
Open Active Directory schema snap-in.
Then locate the attribute which you wish to modify.
Right click on it, and select Properties.
Tick the check box “Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog”.
Here is a screenshot for you:

Global Catalog Server?

I am upgrading three domain controllers by replacing old '03 DCs with new '12 DCs. The set is a parent domain with two sub domains for child organizations. No users in the sub domains should be able to log into the other domains or see the GAL for the exchange servers in the other orgs. Each of the three has their own exchange server. The same IT team manages all three, so we want to have them in the same forest. (correct term?)Should any of the domain controllers be a Global Catalog server? That is an option when upgrading the DC server from '03 to '12."Servers running Microsoft Exchange Server rely on access to the global catalog for address information. Users use global catalog (GC) servers to access the global address list (GAL).Because a domain controller that acts as a global catalog server stores objects for all domains in the...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

CFLDAP requires a domain controller to be specified. It can't
use find the root dsn of the domain and start from there.
The best workaround is to "know" every domain controller on
your domain. Then, run a very simple LDAP query using the first
domain controller. If an error occurs, then try the LDAP query with
the second domain controller. Keep this up until you run out of
domain controllers. If this happens, then you are in worse trouble
because your domain will start to fall apart.
Use CFTRY/CFCATCH to test for any LDAP errors when a domain
controller is not responding. You can even wrap this into a simple
CFLOOP that loops over a list of domain controllers.
All it has to do is return a simple query that should take
very little time to process. All you are doing is testing to make
the sure domain controller is responding.

Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks. Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure. So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network. Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure. See my FAQ* on printing:

Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g. Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing. Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible. The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

How can I configure an outgoing server that has a different password than the rest of my email account?

I have a work email account where the password for my incoming server is different than the password for my outgoing server. I cannot find how to change this in the outgoing server settings on thunderbird. Any help would be very appreciated!

Try to add another SMTP server using correct password then tell the mail account to use that smtp server.
* Tools > Account settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP)
* click on 'Add'
* enter a Description so you can easily tell which server this is.
* enter server details.
* userbame = full email address
* password = correct smtp password.
* click on OK
Then tell your mail account to use that smtp server.
* select the mail account name in left column
* bottom right section 'Outgoing server (SMTP)
* click on drop down and select the smtp server you just added.
* click on OK to save changes to Account Settings.
Note: Account Settings can be located via various methods:
Menu Bar
* Tools > Account settings
Mail Toolbar:
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings
FolderPane:
* right click on mail account and select 'Settings'

Can't reach network video server on Mac Mini's USB Ethernet Adapter.

I am trying to connect an IP video server to my Mac Mini's USB>Ethernet adapter. The server works fine on the built in Ethernet "en(0)", but is unreachable on the USB>Ethernet adapter network"en(3)".
Is this a subnet issue? I don't know much about networking obviously, but I think I just need to find a way to designate the proper port to look on, because the Mac is looking on the built in Ethernet only when I specify http://192.168.0.90:80/
The en(3) is configured for DCHP.
I could just hook the server up to the built in Ethernet, but then I'll have to run new and very long cat 5 cable.
I'd love to hear any ideas on how to get this working.

The Network Settings for the USB>Ethernet port are:
IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address 169.254.33.152
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router: (none)
DNS Server: (none)
Search Domains: (none)

How can I write a simple proxy server that intercept 80(www)socket???

Does any body knows how can i write simple proxy server that intercept web sites watching by user???thx

Does any body knows how can i write simple proxy
server that intercept web sites watching by user???thxTo be clear a proxy means that requests go to the proxy and then the proxy relays the request to proper place.
If you want to see traffic without being in the middle (the requests go direct) then you can not use the standard Java API. And do so in any situation of course requires that you be in the physical connection in the first place (ie in a star network with a router in the middle a client machine will not see packets from other machines.)

Global Catalog Placement

Hi,
I have a question regarding Active Directory architecture.
We have a parent domain/forest (top.com) with many child domains (child*.top.com). Some child domains have firewalls segregating their environment from everything else. Do all the child domains need to communicate to every other child domain using all the Active
Directory ports listed
here or just the Global Catalog port if there is a Global Catalog server in that domain.
We have an Exchange server in one of the child domains which I know needs a GC. In the other child domains we have a few SQL servers, but no other application server. Does every DC in every child domain need to be a GC? Or can having GCs at the parent domain
and enabling universal group membership caching be sufficient? I gathered that from
this.

The recommendation is generally that all your DCs should be GCs. Exchange does need GCs.
The replication topology you designed in the Sites and Services console will indicate what DCs to use for replication.
If you don't want DCs from child domain to replicate their global catalog partitions (as well as schema and configuration) with other child domains, you can just design your replication topology in such a way that is it not happening. If you want more recommendation
about the replication topology you could use, feel free to tell us more about your environment (number of sites, connections, where are your DCs...) and we will assist.

Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest when running RemoteMailbox cmdlet

My current Exchange environment is a hybrid configuration of Office 365, Exchange 2013 hybrid, and Exchange 2007 on-premise.
I have a script responsible for enabling remote mailboxes and assigning O365 licenses to a list of users; essentially provisioning users an O365 mailbox. This script runs every hour through a defined scheduled task in the Task Scheduler.
The script is proven to work but will intermittently throw an error on some days: "Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest root.xyz.com"
Here are the nuances of the error when it does occur:
It will only throw the error when the script is run via scheduled task - the script will work fine if executed from the command line
The error occurs when "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" is called.
The same error will occur with ANY script that calls "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" and is ran via scheduled task - even when the RemoteMailbox cmdlet was the only line in the script
Here is the output and error when Get-RemoteMailbox -verbose is ran:

What could be the cause of this intermittent error?
Thanks for any help

looks to me permission error as when you are running it via a schedule task is is not able to call exchange shell/ commands {confirm this} where as when you running this manually looks to me you open exchange shell, may be as admin also and then running
the script.
schedule task process is not able to get the permission..
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
Thanks

Global Catalog and IFM files

What is the difference between when you "Install Domain Controller as a Global Catalog or without a Global Catalog"?

When the first domain controller is installed on the network by default it becomes the global catalog server, when you install the additional domain controllers then you will have to manually specify the global catalog server in case if you want.
The global catalog is a distributed data repository that contains a searchable, partial representation of every object in every domain
in a multidomain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. The global catalog is stored on domain controllers that have been designated as global catalog servers and is distributed through multimaster replication. Searches that are directed
to the global catalog are faster because they do not involve referrals to different domain controllers

Exchange 2007 with Global catalog servers

exchange 2007 connects with 2 global catalog servers
when it connects GC server A, and A is down, there is user connection error at Outlook side.
any setting to allow Exchange 2007 immediately switching to GC server B without waiting?
Thanks a lot.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, please follow these steps: -
If you are running a version of Exchange Server that is earlier than Exchange Server 2010, use the following steps to force Outlook to identify and use the closest global
catalog server yourself.
Click
Start, and then click Run.
In the
Open box, type regedit.exe, and then click
OK.
Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
On the
Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: Closest GC
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value Data: 0x0000000
Quit
Registry Editor.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
