Disjoin computer from domain without being domain admin

Windows Server 2008 R2 AD
I have created a group to enable non-domain admin user/s to join computers to domain. we're trying to have the same set of users join computers to domain but we are unable to unless a domain admin deletes the old computername from the domain.
is what we're trying to achieve possible? to allow non-domain admin users disjoin computers from domain?

Any local administrator can remove the computer from the domain but if the user has no appropriate permissions on AD, it will leave the computerobject orphaned in AD.
If you need a user to be able to remove a computer object from AD you can delegate permissions for that. By default the Account Operators Group has the appropriate permissions.
note that both permissions to create, change or delete (computer) objects in AD should not be granted lightly.

Change service accounts from Domain Admin to local Admin SQL Cluster

Hi
We have some SQL Clusters in our enviroment, the previous administrator made user accounts for the sql cluster services, but he put these accounts in the Domain admins group, the security staff ask me to remove them from this group, but I don't know if this
would raise issues for the SQL cluster.
I thought would be better to put this accounts in the local Administrators group in every server's cluster and remove these accounts from the Domain Admins group, but we can not restart the server....
Is this possible? or is it neccesary to do another extra procedure?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It is always recommended to run Cluster service with domain account having lest privileges.Running with local account can have issues like when SQL server restarts the account looses logon rights due to AD policy (have seen this issue many times) now suppose
by any cause SQL server stops at midnight it wont start as local account will loose privileges.So get a domain service account created below link will surely be helpful

TS1702 How do I stop unwelcome Huffington Post news article videos from playing without being prompted??

When I open a news story on the Huffington Post App on my iPhone, the video associated with the story starts playing without being prompted. Anyone know how to turn off this feature? I've used this App for years and this problem has just started within the last week. Thanks!

Don't use the app. That's about the only way to avoid it that I know of.

User being removed from Domain Admins...how to find all servers his account is being used.

We have a user that is being removed from IT (more like being forcefully demoted) and our owner still finds him valuable in other departments. My challenge is to find all servers that he may be using his account locally on (as a service or added to a local
admin group). It hasn't happened yet, but we need to be prepared to say we know all the servers his account is on when the owner demotes him.
I'm hoping someone has an approach to this that doesn't include going through tons of Event Viewer Security logs. We do have System Center Configuration Manager and Operations Manager 2012 w/ SP1, but the guy that is responsible for those is the guy we are removing
and none of us are aware on how to use the possible tools that those have. If you feel that those would do the trick then please point me to a "how to" and I'll try to learn on the fly. Otherwise I'll take any other suggestions.

Hi Rick,
Based on my research, you can filter events logs based on user name and event ID:

Is there any way to use zen touch without being an admin on the comput

I looked for weeks and weeks with no solution. All I want is the simple
interaction between my 20GB zen touch and a pc with which I have
no admin priviliges. If I managed to get the files (nomad explorer/driver)
somewhere else would simply copying them over be enough to get it to work.
Or is it hopeless and you HAVE to be an admin? :smileysurprised:
Please helpMessage Edited by myname on 05-24-2005 03:8 PM

It works fine on my laptop but you know the way it is at work.
I thought I'd be able to download files and bring them home
to my laptop on the zen touch. ?260, 20GB and I can't even use
it to transfer files. Feck that :smileyvery-happy:

How do I stop audio play button in embedded plugins from starting without being clicked?

I am trying to used embedded audio plugins in my podcasts which are posted weekly. But when I add a new plugin each week it starts playing as soon as one clicks on the site. I can have six programs playing at once. How do I set the parameters so that one must first click on the play button for them to start playing?

That's bad. Really bad. And I can understand how you might get complaints about that.
For HTML5, the way you insert audio is this way:
<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">
<source src="podcast.ogg" />
<source src="podcast.mp3" />
</audio>
You also have to make sure that your .htaccess file does know about ogg files and I assume you have done that.
In the case of my example above, take out the autoplay="autoplay" that will cause the audio to not play when you load the web page.
Now, you didn't say if you're using Flash or some older means of putting your podcasts on your website, so I've just given you the HTML5 information, which is what I am currently using for audio on the web.

Recover From Domain Restarts Computer

Ok, so our CIO has wanted us to start fielding tablet hybrids, and got us a couple test units to play with. Our production environment runs MDT 2012 on Server 2008 R2 and our standard deployment is Windows 7 SP1. These tablet hybrids will receive Windows
8.1 Pro, so naturally we needed Server 2012 / MDT 2013. I have the testing environment all set up, captured a Windows 8.1 WIM, created the task sequence to match our Win7 TS. Here's the only issue I have: In our MDT 2012 environment, the computer does not
restart after domain recovery. In MDT 2013, deploying Win8.1, it does restart. The domain join is applying the GPO policy, which includes a corporate login notice. On restart, this haults my task sequence and doesn't proceed until I press ok on the machine.
It then proceeds to autologin and process the rest of the State Restore portion of the task sequence. On individual computers, this is no issue, but between the 4 of us (my team mates and myself), we process about 30 computers a day.
So, the question is: how can I stop the computer from restarting after the domain recover step; OR how can I disable the login notice after domain recovery but before shutdown? Keep in mind, this doesn't happen in the MDT 2012 / Win7 deployment scenario.

As I don't have AD permissions to create OU's and manipulate GPO, and the process of requesting the altering our existing staging OU would have taken more time than would be beneficial, I attempted the link in your fix and found it almost flawless.
The only thing I find it lacking is the necessity of manually rebooting upon TS completion, as this was not necessary in an MDT 2012 / Win7 environment, but I always manually reboot anyway, so this isn't so much a gripe as much as an observation.
Whatever you FinishAction is set to do is what will happen at the end. The valid values in customsettings.ini are:
action
Where action is one of the following:
SHUTDOWN. Shuts down the target computer.
REBOOT. Restarts the target computer.
RESTART. Same as REBOOT.
LOGOFF. Log off the current user. If the target computer is currently running Windows PE, then the target computer will be restarted.
blank. Exit the Deployment Wizard without performing any additional actions. This is the default setting.

Is it possible to set up ADFS without domain admin rights in Windows 2012 R2?

I've set up Windows 2012 R2 on my development box and want to enable the ADFS feature to test claims based authN. In ADFS 2.0, you could opt to install standalone and local admin privileges would be enough to install ADFS and authenticate against the domain
AD.
However, with the new ADFS, after installing the feature it asks to enter the credentials for an account that is a domain admin. Is it still possible to configure ADFS without domain admin privileges?

Hi,
According to my research, if you want to set up AD FS in Windows server 2012 R2, each computer
that functions as a federation server must be joined to an Active Directory domain.
Besides, AD FS requires a certificate for SSL server authentication on each federation server in your federation server farm. Furthermore, you need a membership in
Administrators on the local computer to install the AD FS role service.
For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

Prevent Active Directory Parent Domain Admins from accessing Child Domain

We want to prevent Parent domain administrators (or a similar profile?) from accessing and/or administering child domains. Is this possible, or do parent domain admins have irrevocable administrative access to any child domain?
Asked another way, can a restricted profile be configured for administration of the parent domain that does not cross domain boundaries effectively isolating each domain's administrative needs?
Thanks in advance for input and advice!
Best regards.

Sorry, I was replying again after I read your second paragraph. The parent domain is the Forest root. we have parentdomain.com
parent.parentdomain.com
child1.parentdomain.com
child2.parentdomain.com
child3.parentdomain.com
We do not want the Domain Administrator for parentdomain.com to be able to administer, or preferably, even access the Child Domains.
1.) Can we remove that user from "Enterprise Admin" role and assign a different role so that they can only administer parentdomain.com (effectively demoting that user)?
2.) Promote a Child.parentdomain.com user to Enterprise Admin?
Thanks sorry for the confusion.
Ah ok.
Yes, you can. the answer is the same basically. The group membership is what counts. So in the child domain, remove the enterprise admins group from the child domain admins groups. OR make sure the domain admins of the forest root are not members of the
enterprise admins group. that way they are still only admins in the parent domain.
It is really only depending on group members ship and including those groups in the child domain. by default the enterprise group is included for example, but nothing stops you from removing those groups.
based on the group membership you can also deny them the ability to log on.
the only thing you cannot prevent is the forest administrator account from doing something.
One thing I would like to add though: any admin in the forest domain likely has the ability to still get access if he wants to force his way in.

Powershell script to get the domain admin list from non domian member server

hello Script guys!
I am new of the powershell scripting.
currently I am working on autometion project , we would like generate a privilege report for our existing servers.
in our environment, there are many seprated domain , we would like generate the report from one server instead to login each server to check , could you provide some guide on how can we get the specific domain admin list for each domain from a non domain
membership server by using the powershell script? many thanks for your help.

You could remote to the domain controller or use ADSI to query the domain.
Look inth eGallery as ther eare many scripts there tha will return group membership using ADSI.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
