Cannot add Computers to DSfW domain

We have been running DSfW for a couple of years.
Recently we found we couldn't add computers to the domain any longer. Also using the MMC all the existing computers are of type mSDSComputer which the team suggest what is normally there.
Both DSfW servers are running SLES10 sp3 and eDir 8.8sp3
The logs show the following error:
Aug 11 19:00:33 dsfw1 xadsd: [NETLOGON] PC02335$ opened secure channel
Aug 11 19:00:33 dsfw1 xadsd: [NETLOGON] Setting account password for object <cn=PC1234,cn=Computers,dc=company,dc=com>
Aug 11 19:00:33 dsfw1 xadsd: [NETLOGON] Setting account password failed: Access Denied.
Googling didn't reveal much useful info.
Thanks
Simon

Hi,
Thanks for responding.

So I would next doubt on the password policy settings. Have the NMAS password policy settings changed that you know of ?
Also try creating a user and see how it goes.

Tried adding via MMC - we get an error "Windows cannot create the object because: The requested operation did not satisfy one or more constraints associated with the class of the object"
I have followed TID 7010319 as we had an issue with ldap groups thinking this may also be the problem. But it doesn't appear to be. Also as mentioned in my OP the item type in MMC is mSDSComputer which appears as an unknown object for all the currently registered computer objects.
TIA

Add NAS to DSFW Domain

I'm trying to add our Synology RS2212 NAS to the DSFW domain ...
The crypic error back from the NAS is : "join domain fail"
Interestingly, the server does get added to the Computers container
Since the NAS logs are useless, what are the best DSFW logs to try and
trace the problem

Generally in such cases samba is the culprit, and occasionally ldap.
Is it possible to take trace of packets exchanged by the server and check for smb and ldap filters.
See for the failure condition in the trace. We can take it from there....

RDS 2012 R2 cannot add 3rd party (parent domain) licensing server

Hi,
I have a RDS 2012 R2 farm and i cannot add a 3rd party licensing server that is in a parent domain (forest root domain - hosted by our corp HQ). I will edit deployment properties for the deployment in the first CB server to add a licensing server in per
user mode. Seemes to work, however no licenses are given to SH servers. Have made GPO aswell to explicitly specify licensing server and mode, however i think this should not be neccessary.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
1. In Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab, please make sure that the Licensing mode is set to match the type of licenses you purchased, and that the FQDN of your RD Licensing server is listed.
2. In Server Manager -- RDS -- Collections -- <your collection> -- Host Servers, please make sure that your RDSH server is listed. If you have more than one server with the RDSH Role Service in your deployment make sure that all of them are
listed. If they are not you may click Tasks -- Add RD Session Host Servers (make sure the servers are part of the Server Manager server pool prior to this).
3. On Server 1, please open an Administrator PowerShell prompt and enter the following command:
Add-WindowsFeature RDS-Licensing-UI
4. After the above powershell command completes you should be able to open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe) on Server 1 if you need to. Please note that it is more important to have the licensing configured properly in deployment properties and your
RDSH servers part of a collection than it is to be able to open RD Licensing Manager on both of your servers.
(Above one quoted from beneath thread)

RDS 2012 Can't add a licensing server
In addition, check below article.

Hope it helps!

Cannot add users to new domains anymore

I got messaging server and delegated admin to work just fine recently until I tried getting LDAP authentication to work so LDAP users could log into Sunrays.
I used idsconfig and saw that it added a bunch of stuff to the directory so I deleted that stuff after I realized I couldn't add users to a new domain anymore. It just says "cannot create user - unknown error". I can still add users to old domains just fine.
And I tried both DA and commadmin, neither work. Heres my Messaging server and DA version:
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)
libimta.so 6.2-3.04 (built 01:43:03, Jul 15 2005)

Delegated Administrator 6.3-0.09
I turned on debugging for DA and heres the output:

Frankly, I'm new to LDAP so I don't know really what
changed.No time like the present to start learning.
Its weird, I can do some things, but not
others. Like I can assign service packages, but not
change the login id or password of a user. So it
doesn't look like amadmin can't change things.LDAP provides "ACI", or Access Control settings that can be changed, and create exactly the kinds of things you're looking at.
The Directory Console can view ACI
>
The password encryption seemed to have changed from
{SSHA} to {CRYPT}. Although I have no idea how to
switch it back or where to look to see if it did.Unlikely to have made any difference. That should be transparent to the application using DS.
Most of our applications don't compare the password entry, but attempt a BIND for that very reason.
Again, I'd be looking at your LDAP access logs for a clue to what's happening.

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

ORABPEL-02052 and cannot add a new domain

Hi, I develope a very simple BPEL processes and ant it. But it shows error ORABPEL-02052. I add
<property id="optSoapShortcut">

<value>true</value>
<comment><![CDATA[
Make Calls Via Soap Stack.
<p/>
The default value is true.
]]></comment>
</property>
in domain.xml file. Then, I stop and re start application server. But I still cannot ant the bpel process. However, in the BPEL control, I cannot add a new domain. And it shows err:

I use XP and install patch of 10.1.3.4

I reinstall DB and application server this weekend. I do not install the patch this time.
This error has not appeared.
I can add a new domain and delete it in the BPEL control. However, after I add a new domain. I cannot login to the BPEL control from Start->soaInstance->Oracle BPEL processes Manager->BPEL control.
If I need to login to the default domain, I should key in the default after the address. Why I should do this?

I am running an AD Forest and when I don't have Internet connection on the entire network, some computers cannot log in on the domain

Hello!
I run an AD Forest and when my Internet connection is not working, some of my PCs cannot sign in on the domain, while the majority can do this without any problems.
Could you please help,
Thanks,
Radu

Hi,
Usually, we have an edge device for internet connection and LAN connection, like a router. So I suppose gateway is not working properly.
For further troubleshooting, please provide your network topology. DNS, gateway settings. Test if you can ping DC when the issue occur.

Cannot add server to DFS replication group

I am trying to add a server to a DFS replication group but I always get error Servername: information cannot be retrieve for this computer. The network path cannot be found.
THat is the error I get when adding this member to an existing replication group.

Hi,
From the error message it seems like the folder you are trying to add does not exist, or the network is not available.
Can you directly access the folder you are going to add with \\servername\folder (the same as the path you are going to add)?
If access is fine but still cannot add it as a folder target, test to disable Windows Firewall on both servers.
Specifically it require following ports to be open.

I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5 - How do I fix this ?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5
Many people are reporting that they cannot add Buddies to either iChat 4 or iChat 5.
The Symptoms are that the Buddy appears in the Buddy List and then does the "Brightening/Fading" cycle but fails to be anywhere in the list including Off Line Buddies.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the View Menu and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
There can be many causes and I will attempt to deal with then in the order that they are most likely.
A) The Contact is already in the Address Book.
When Adding a Buddy via the use of the + Sign at the Bottom of the Buddy List (Then Add Buddy) or invoking it from the Buddies menu a drop down appears to slide down out of the Buddy List Header area
In this slide out/drop down, you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
iChat checks the Address Book and if the First Name, Last Name items do not match any contact in the Address Book already then the Buddy will be added to the Buddy list.
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List if the name exists already.
In iChat 3 and earlier there was an Error Message that popped up saying there was Feedbag Error
See here for More
Note: AIM Protocols call Lists "Feedbags". Contents (Buddies) are "Food" and of course Food is kept in Feedbags.
The Address Book is one Feedbag in this case and the Screen Name (only) Buddy List held on the AIM Server is the other.
The Software puts the two together for Display purposes
The Fix.
Either:
1) Add them as Screen Name only
2) Use the Arrow head at the end of the Last Name line to open the Address Book and pick the Contact.
3) Open the Address Book and Edit their Card to Add the Screen Name, then drag them from the Name column to the iChat Buddy List.
4) During any type of Chat use the item in the Buddies Menu to Add the person (it will display their Screen Name in Dark text if not in the Buddy List - Then item 2 can also be used)
B) Parental Controls
There are similar Symptoms if the Mac User Account is subject to Parental Controls.
If the Mac User Account on the computer is not an Admin account it is a Standard or Managed one
A Managed one has Parental Controls Enabled.
There is a Tab for Mail and iChat.
If it is turned on for iChat then all buddies are Blocked initially (in iChat 4 Jabber and Bonjour Buddy List cannot be used.)
Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On or Off line
The Fix.
In this case if you are the Managed account you have to get the Admin account to add the Buddy to the Buddy allowed list in Parental Controls.
Exception
There is a very large exception.
Due to the fact that the way Parental Controls blocks names until they appear in the Allow List there can be a problem if testing the same iChat Details in a Test Account.
Lets say you are the Admin User on the Mac.
You set up a second Mac User Account called Test.
In this you set up iChat with the same details (Screen name) you use in your Main Mac User Account.
You then test Parental Controls by turning it On and setting the iChat Limit option.
Then you add to the allow List one or two AIM valid names.
You check iChat and find they are the only Buddies that show up.
It works, so you return to your main Mac User Account and discover that most of your Buddies are missing.
On checking the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security Tab you find the Allow Specific People option is Enabled and the list only includes those Buddies you set in Parental Controls.
Choosing allow All does not seem to bring back the Buddies even if you Log out of the Test Mac User Account.
The Fix Here
Is to Disable all the Parental Control Settings again (Remove names from any list) before Logging out of the Test Mac User Account.
The cause is partly to do with the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that reads "When I quit iChat, Set the Status to Off Line" which is not the default - leaving a partial login for Off Line Messaging. As a consequence your Buddy List is constantly being told to block certain Screen Names.
A Variation on this is if you have Two Log-ins of your Screen Name from either different apps or computers.
Altering the Buddy List in one effects the other login. The computer or app that was logged in first take precedence.
C) Adding Buddies as the wrong type (In Buddy List - But always Off Line)
This applies more to iChat 4 than it does to iChat 5
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in iChat 4 you have to choose if the Buddy is an AIM, @mac. or MobileMe name in a drop down.
The software shows the @mac.com or @me.com endings in grey in the Screen Name text field and adds this for you.
This can lead to Buddies being added as the wrong type as in ralphjohnsr added as [email protected] etc.
It can also lead to people being added with 2 @ symbols in the Screen Name ([email protected]@mac.com) and iChat not always telling you this is not allowed.
In both iChat 4 and 5, as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses, we have to also consider whether AIM names have been added to a Jabber List or Jabber Names added to AIM valid Lists.
D) Plain old Typos
Here I am talking about misreading someone's Screen Name and typing that in (Such as receiving and email with a Screen Name in it and typing the letter O for 0 (zero).)
And of course, just plain typing mistakes.
The Fix for C) and D)
The Buddy in this case will be in the Buddy List but will always be Off line
Highlight the Buddy with one click.
Do a Get Info (Apple()/Command(⌘) key and I key together) and their Info card will show up.
Correct as Required.

Some thoughts.
To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
Then go to the {color:red}Show Menu{color} and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
(there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
Do you mean under the {color:green}View{color} menu where I see Show Offline Buddies? (both iChat 4.0.8 and 5.0.3)
A)… In the {color:red}slide out that appears from the top{color} of the Buddy list you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
I kept looking for a button for the "slide out" at the top of the Buddy list. Found out it's the dialog box that appears when you click "+" (Add a new buddy…) at the bottom of the list. Yes, I can act like a beginner too
(Slide out to me sounds like a sideways slide out, versus a Pop Up or Pop Down Dialog box).
As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List {color:green}if the name already exists.{color}
The Address Book i one Feedbag in this case
The Address Book {color:green}is{color} one Feedbag in this case
B) Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On {color:red}of{color} Off line
… as On {color:green}or{color} Off line
*The Fix.
Exception*
{color:red}The{color} you add to the allow {color:red}List{color} one or two AIM valid names.
{color:green}Then{color} you add to the allow one or two AIM valid names.
C)
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:red}ichat{color} 4
At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:green}iChat 4{color}
In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses we have to also consider

I no longer get my bookmarks in my dropdown menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar.i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

i no longer get my bookmarks in my drop down menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar. i have emailed yahoo and they said it is not their trouble & to call at&t and i called att and they said not their trouble go back to yahoo .......but i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

Cannot add data to unknown document?

Hi there,
There are several computers working on a server and two other employees were working on the same indesign document at the same time, causing both of them to suddenly crash and then the file became corrupted. When I try and open the document I get the error message 'cannot add data to unknown document'. I still get the same message even when trying to open the file from my desktop. I am using CS5.5 and am on an imac....
I have tried to find a solution to this in the threads, but so far no luck! Have also tried to call Adobe but they were no help . Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
E.Coe

First off, two people shouldn't have the ability to work on the same file at the same time. That was a bug in the initial release of CS5 or CS5.5 (not sure which) but it was fixed in the first patch. If you haven't updated to 7.5.3 you need to do that to prevent future problems and take advantage of other bug fixes.
As far as your file, it doesn't sound all that hopeful. Try opening as a copy. If that doesn't work you may have to rebuild, or if more cost effective, use the Markzware recovery service: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form

Add workgroups to a domain

Hello guys,At this moment we are working with 5 different fysical sites. All of the sites have a different vlan. On one site are the servers with all of the services. At this moment the other sites are configured as workgroups. They all have there own router. If they want to do something on the server users can create a terminal session to access data ect..
Now recently all buildings are connected by a fiber. I would like to know what I have to do to connect these computers from the current workgroup to our domain?Change dns to our proper dns server on every router in the workgroup and then just add the pc to the domain? At this moment every router in the workgroup has dhcp functionality and set dns to the dns servers of the internet provider.Will the vlans still have there value after the change? I can imagine that there will be...

Hi
I never tried this to join remotecomputers to the domain but you can download this utility called PsExec and with the help of Netdom command you can add the computers to the domain form one computer.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
Download this software and put all the files form the zip file to c:\windows\system32 folder.
Open Command promt as domain admin account once in command prompt type
psexec.exe \\remotecomputername cmd
this will take you the remote computer cmd
then use the netdom command
netdom join %computername% /domain:nameof the domain /userd:domainadminuser/passwordd:domainadminpassword /reboot:0
hope this help.
Thanks
