Connecting to a Window Domain

My Company wants to connect it's 3 Mac users to the corporate domain server, I've this problem trying to connect them to the window domain. The Active Directory Forest is shown as 'Automatic' and cannot be changed whilst the Active Directory Domain I had used domain.local, typical of Windows Server Setup. After I had input the User Id and password, the error message also prompt to say that the forest or tree domain name is wrong. Can someone help?

felixlow,
Several questions you need to look at
1. Are the mac users Active Directory users on the Windows Network? If the answer is yes then you need to 'Bind the Mac' to Active Directory. Here is the link to assist you.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DirectoryAccess/1.8/en/c7od45.html
2. If the mac users are not part of the coporate domain server they need to be added as guests, or part of a external contract to be part of the domain you need to be a member. The average Joe will not be able to access a windows network without credentials.

How to connect MBA to Windows domain over Wi-Fi?

Hi. I`m on a university campus. MBA automatically picks up wi-fi connection, which is great. Because MBA does not have an Ethernet port, how do I join my office's Windows 2003 network domain over Wi-Fi? Thanks for any help I can get!

Hi dufus,
Are you looking to access domain resources over WiFi? Such as printers, AD resources, etc.? This sounds like a question for the domain administrators, unfortunately. Reason I say that, the domains that I manage at work specifically restrict access to resources based on connection Subnet and VLAN. As such unless you're hard wired to specific ports you don't get access to my resources.
Everyone manages their domains differently and without knowing how your domain is configured it's impossible to recommend steps.

Setup router to router VPN connecting 2 windows domain networks via 2 RV042 routers

I am using 2 RV042 routers. I have created a point to point VPN with Remote Security Group Type= Subnet, using the default IPSec settings.
Under advanced settings- Aggressive Mode, Keep Alive enabled.
Location A- SBS 2011 standard, Servername=SBSServer, Domainname = Smallbusiness.Local, IP address 10.1.10.50
DHCP range 10.1.10.100 to 10.1.10.175. DNS and Print services. No WINS.
Location B- Server 2008 R2, Sername=SBSServer, Domain name=Smallbusiness.Local, IP address 192.168.10.50
DHCP range 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.175, DNS, Print Services and Remote Desktop Services. No WINS
I am wondering 2 things. Can I setup the VPN tunnel to route traffice between the 2 networks without changing the server names. Leaving the servernames the same. I have it setup that way but also had netbios broadcast enable. If I disable netbios broadcast will that be enough for these networks to be independent of each other. I was hoping not to have to rename the domain and there are advantages to having the same user and domain name when mapping drives between networks. I have not needed to authenticate those drives or provide credititals for printing either.
2) Should I change the domain name so that each network has a unique domain name or, if I change the servername of the 2008 R2 server will that essentially solve my network issues, the primary issue being that location b has clients that occasionally can not find the 2008 R2 domain controller. After a restart the usually resolve to the correct domain controller.
Essentially what I am asking is what are the best practices to connect 2 separate Windows domain networks via a VPN and have those networks capable of file sharing to the each others domain server and printing to the network printers at both loations.
Should I have separate domain names-
Should I have separate server and computer names-

"reserved not zero on payload" generally means your pre-shared keys don't match. Try removing the "crypto isakmp key ...." line and retyping it in again on both sides. In particular DON'T cut/paste it from one router config into another, this quite often puts a space character onto the end of the key, which the router interprets as part of the key and they therefore don't match.

Windows Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012 R2: Hyper-V roaming profiles not loading due to slow connection

I have racked my brain and done everything that I know to do for about two weeks now. I am setting up a new system at our fire department and I am having the worst luck with getting the workstations to login to the domain controller with roaming
profiles. It keeps telling me that the roaming profile could not be loaded because of a slow connection. These are workstations that are connected directly to the switch that the DC is connected to. I have tried multiple connections regarding
the layout (DC into the router, router into the switch). The router is a Cisco RV220W. I have two VLANS, one for public and one for private domain. The Private VLAN has DHCP turned off since I am providing it through the DC. I currently
have a connection from the Private VLAN going to the unmanaged switch that the workstations and server are plugged into.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge R420 that has 6 NIC ports (1 dual port and 1 quad port). I have a virtual switch setup on Hyper-V for an external port (let's say Card 2 Port 3) that is assigned to the WS 2012R2 Domain Controller. The DC can see
the internet fine and the workstations can connect to the shared folders on the server. I can retrieve files by just using the computer name or FQDN. The DC is also running DNS and DHCP. The DNS has the _msdcs setup from when I installed
the active directory role. I have attempted to assign static IP addresses to the workstations:
IP:                     10.0.0.80
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:        10.0.0.12
I've attempted "append the specific DNS suffix", I've "registered the connection in DNS", I've used "use this connections suffix in DNS registration".
The server is assigned:
IP:                     10.0.0.12
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:         10.0.0.12
The DNS entries have forwarders that forward to my ISP DNS servers for lookup
I've enabled and disabled DHCP, I've installed a new VM just to create another DC to make sure that I didn't goof up when I created it.
I've lost my patience with this project and am sinking fast. Can someone please offer some advice as to what I've done wrong? I've created this exact scenario at work many times but, I've never done it with Windows Server 2012. Is this
possibly something to do with the Dell PowerEdge server (Generation 12) with the SR-IOV? I am going to attempt to work on it some more tomorrow when I get over there. I think there may be an issue with the SR-IOV not being enabled on the machine
through the Dell Bios. Would the SR-IOV really cause the workstations to report a slow connection? When I login at the domain controller the roaming profiles and folder redirection work fine so, I know the GPO settings are correct. I don't
have "ignore slow connections" or any of those GPO's set. I need to get it working the correct way so, I didn't want to fool the server when there is another underlying problem. Any help that someone can offer, I am more than willing
to listen. If you need more information, please ask.
Thanks,
Jay

So, I've managed to research this some more since Thursday and I've come to the conclusion that Hyper-V does a horrible job of supporting Qualcomm NIC cards. That's the only thing I can conclude as far as where the issue is originating. I've read many
post and walkthroughs but nothing that has helped. The issue wasn't with any settings in the domain controller. The issue was that there really is a slow connection originating at the domain controller that is a VM and has network connectivity through the
virtual switch from Hyper-V. So, next question is, how do I get the DC to have better connectivity through the NIC that Hyper-V won't give it? If hyper-v would allow passthrough, this would be so much simpler. VM-ware is looking really good at this point.
Im disappointed in MS right now.

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine.
I have checked that the firmware has been updated to 7.6.4 . Similalrly the Win8.1 machine has been loaded with the update specified in another discussion.

Firstly how are you connecting to the TC.. wireless or ethernet?
Please open a command window and ping it.. ping by name and by IP address.
If ping succeeds at least by IP it should work.
In windows explorer type
\\10.0.1.1 (or whatever the TC ip is.. that is the default).
Having the airport utility for windows loaded can help the process. As it loads bonjour for windows.
7.6.4 firmware on the TC is useless. It works better on 7.6.1
If the ping does not succeed by either name or IP address yet you have internet through the TC, then your network is setup wrongly. You are have firewalls blocking local IP. Take down all the firewalls.

Connecting to Mac bound to a Windows domain from Windows

I have a 2010 MBP running OSX 10.6.7 which is "bound to the [my company name] domain" (that's how our corporate IT department describes it; not sure if this is technically accurate). We have a mixed Mac/Windows environment but are predominantly Windows based (I log onto my Mac using my Windows user id/password).
I'm trying to access shared files on this machine from a Windows 7 machine on the same domain.
Before I had my Mac bound to the Windows domain, I was able to access my shared files by following the instructions in OSX help (I enabled a shared folder, added my Windows username and password as a local admin on my Mac, turned on SMB access for that user, and all was good).
Now that my Mac is bound to the domain, I can access the directories associated with the local user account I have on my Mac by connecting from my Windows machine as a different user and then entering the account name and password associated with my local user on the Mac.
I can't access the directories associated with my Windows account.
I tried adding a local user (sharing only) to my Mac with the same userid/password as my Windows account, but this prevented me from logging into my corporate network from my Mac, so I deleted this local user.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Partial success: after some experimentation with my local IT guru, I'm now able to access my home directory (which is tied to a network account, not a local one), but I can't access it using my Windows user ID/password.
Here's what we worked:
Confirm sharing is enabled for desired folder, SMB sharing is turned on, my local user account has access to this folder (in the users section of the file sharing dialog), and this local user account is enabled for Windows sharing. [This is no different from what we had previously done]
Get Info on the same desired folder and give read/write access to the folder (help doesn't mention anything about this step; I'm assuming that in normal use - where you're using a local account instead of a Centrify network account - you don't need to do this because you have access to these folders by default. In my case, since I'm sharing a folder in the directory associated with my network account instead of the directory associated with my local account, these permissions are not enabled by default.
Log onto my Mac from a Windows machine using my Mac's local username/password. [Again, this is no different that what I was doing previously, but because of step 2, I can now access the folder associated with my network user]
I'd prefer to just stick with a single user id/password, but this at least lets me access my files.

Remote Desktop Connection from a Windows 8.1 laptop to a work PC using Windows 7

Hi!
I posted this question in the MS Community forums and they redirected me here... I searched the forums here but didn't find anything that helped with my problem. So here is my original question (posted originally here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/remote-desktop-connection-to-a-work-pc/5fa25045-de24-4a7c-9c8e-caf9ce17e444):
For the past few weeks, I've been trying to set up a VPN connection to my work PC so I can work from home.
Work PC runs on Windows 7 (I assume Pro, but I can't confirm at the moment).
Home laptop runs on Windows 8.1 (the laptop came with Windows 8 already installed, so I assume it's the standard, or Home, edition. I manually upgraded to 8.1).
Now, after many migraines and sleepless nights fiddling with settings, the VPN connection works. However, what prevents me from completing the connection is Remote Desktop Connection.
Here's the error I get:
"Remote Desktop can't find the computer "<computer name>". This might mean that "<computer name>" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to."
Note:
- I DO have the correct computer name. I have a working connection to my work PC from my personal desktop PC (running XP), though I sometimes need to travel and a laptop is much more practical to carry around than a PC... ;)
The VPN Connection Wizard never asked me to enter my destination PC username and password (so my work Windows credentials). Why?
Any ideas as to why Remote Desktop doesn't want to connect?
Any suggestions as to what I can try to fix the problem?
Thank you for all the help!
Julie

Are you able to ping the remote system by name? It sounds as though you are connecting to VPN but are unable to resolve the names of the host network. A few things that I would think of:
If the home system is not on a domain and the work system is, you may need to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For example, instead of
computer you would enter computer.domain.com.
You may want to check if your VPN connection is configured as a default gateway, otherwise if your home and VPN network have the same IP address range you may be experiencing a conflict.
See the instructions provided here.
You also may want to check the DNS settings for the VPN connection to ensure that it is finding the DNS server for the remote network and thus is able to resolve the hostname.
You may want to try connecting Remote Desktop via IP address to determine if the issue is with name resolution (DNS) or connectivity.

Problems on NW PI 7.1 after setting up a Windows Domain

Hello Experts,
we have had a SAP system running without a windows domain name. Everything works fine until we need to set up a windows domain because of the "full qualified domain name error".
Now after setting up the domain we have problems to access the PI system by SAP Logon from a client. Within the server everything works fine with SAP Logon.
Thanks for your answers in advance!!!
Regards, Alexander

Hi Moog,
Check if server hostname and server IP is pingable from client.
If yes then check for dispatcher port connectivity using telnet
telnet server ip 32<instance number>
Paste the results , adding server to domain will not harm unless its pingable from client.
Regards,

Leap and windows domain logon

I'm doing some test with an Air 1200 and some 352 Pc card for one of our customers.
With ACU ver. 4.25.23, I enabled LEAP authentication using the windows user name and password.
Leap authentication is successful, while windows domain logon not.
Not to say using a "normal" NIC that logon succeed.
Sniffing the packets that come out the AP, it seems the domain logon happens... I see the requests/answers between my client and the domain controller...
However, after canceling the windows domain logon I have normal connectivity with the entire network.
Someone experienced that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Antonio Tassone

Sure.
My attempts to logon in a windows domain using the same user/password for LEAP authentication and windows logon were unsuccessful (either using Win9x or Win NT/2000 on the client), indeed the login dialog box was stuck in something like "searching primary domain controller" or similar (I'm sorry but it's been some month ago).
Looking the Radius server log, I found an error like " xxxxx DLL rejected".
Searching the Cisco web site and the forums for that error, I read the advice to make the authentication services on the NT server to run with the privileges of one of the Windows Domain Administrator accounts.
Following that advice, and with some other tweaking explained in the document I read, I reached my goal.
I regret I can't be more precise.
Regards.

Configure Windows Domain Logon on Airport Express

The question is... How can I configure Windows Domain Logon data on an Airport Express so it connects automatically without asking each of my other devices for login credentials?
I use my Airport Express at work connecting it through ethernet, and the network uses Windows Domain credemtials to login, that is user, password and domain server. I have all data needed, this is, static IP, Gateway, DNS, user, password, etc., but I haven't found how to do this inside de Airport Express so I configure just one device instead of 3 or more.
I have tryed configuring the Airport Express as PPPoE, but that's not the solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Your wireless Netgear router and AirPort Express Base Station (AX) are pretty much useless if you don't have wireless capability for your Dell desktop. The AX uses AirTunes to receive, wirelessly, iTunes from your desktop.
Just add a wireless card to your Dell and you should be in good shape. In fact, once you go wireless, you can return the Netgear router as your AX will provide Internet connectivity, stream iTunes, and share a USB printer.

Problem with a Mac in a windows domain

Hello, we have 1 user in our Windows domain that uses a mac. He has access to a shared drive on a file server, and has all possible permissions. The problem is that he cannot delete or rename files created by others, while he should be able to since he has the rights to do it. Is there a way to fix that?

Are you sharing it out for him as AFP via File and PRint Services for Macintosh?
If so if you go to the main server admin console and click on shares. Then click on the afp share (youll notice it has liek a little network box on the folder instead of the hand) and got to porperties, near the bottom of the window there is a check box that makes the volume read only. Remove the check and apply/ok out and have him reconnect.
If youre using SMB try to connect form his mac as an administrator and see if you have the same problem.

Authenticating to Windows Domain for Printing

From my PowerBook, I'm trying to print to a printer in a Windows domain. I know how to connect and stuff, that is not the issue.
The issue is, when I first connected, it prompted me for my domain, domain ID & password. I entered the info and put a check mark in save password to keychain. But my fingers were too fast for my brain. I realized that I had made a typo but had pressed Enter already. And so, I can't print to that printer because it always denies my login.
I can't find where to edit my login info. I looked in the Keychain Access app but could not find the entry in there. Do you know how I can get the login box back to fix my login info?
Ron

I'm not sure what exactly fixed the problem.
Last night, I disconnected the printer from my pc and connected it to an external print server box that I borrowed. I was able to connect and print from my PowerBook.
I then reconnected the printer back to the pc (LPT1) and re-shared it. This time, in reconnecting the PowerBook to the printer, the login dialogue box reappeared and so my problem is fixed.
I would guess that the deletion of the initial share and re-sharing the printer forced the login box to come back. However, I'm not 100% percent sure.

Machine authentication by certificate and windows domain checking

Hi,
We intend to deploy machine?s certificate authentication for wifi users.
We want to check certificate validity of the machine, and also that the machine is included on the windows domain.
We intend to use EAP-TLS :
- One CA server.
- each machine (laptop) retrieves its own certificate from GPO or SMS
- the public certificate of the CA is pushed on the ACS as well as on each of the machine (laptop)
- ACS version is the appliance one
- one ACS remote agent installed on the A.D.
- when a user intends to log on the wifi network :
- the server (ACS appliance) sends its certificate to the client. This client checks the certificate thanks to the CA server certificate he already trusts, results : the client also trusts the ACS?s certificate signed by the CA server .
- the client sends its certificate to the server (ACS appliance). This ACS checks the certificate thanks to the CA server certificate he already trusts, results : the ACS also trusts the client?s certificate signed by the CA server but the ACS also checks that this certificate isn?t revocated (the ACS checks this thanks to the CA server CRL ? certificate revocation list).
Am I right about these previous points ?
And then my question is : is it possible to check that the machine is also included in the windows domain ?
That is, is it possible for the ACS to retrieve the needed field (perhaps CN ?? certificate type "host/....") and then perform an authentication request to the A.D. (active directory) thanks to the ACS remote agent ? We want to perform only machine authentication, not user authentication.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best Regards,
Arnaud

Hi Prem,
Thanks for these inputs.
I've passed the logs details to full, performed other tests and retrieved the package.cab.
I've started investigating the 2 log files you pointed.
First, we can see that the requests reach the ACS, so that's a good point.
Then, I'm not sure how to understand the messages.
In the auth.log, we can see the message "no profile match". I guess it is about network access profile. For my purpose (machine authentication by certificate), I don't think Network Access Profiles to be mandatory to be configured.
But I'm not sure this NAP problem to be the root cause of my problem.
And when no NAP is matched, then the default action should accept.
We can see the correct name of the machine (host/...). We can see that he's trying to authenticate this machine "against CSDB". Then we have several lines with "status -2046" but I can't understand what the problem is.
I don't know what CSDB is.
I've configured external user database: for this, I've configured windows database with Remote Agent. The domain is retrieved and added in the domain list. And EAP-TLS machine authentication is enabled.
I copy below an extract of the auth.log.
I also attach parts of auth.log and RDS.log.
If you have any ideas or advices ?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best Regards,
Arnaud
