Domain/Active Directory

Hey Everyone! I can't figure out how to add a domain to my ibook. I try using Directory access (where i can add a workgroup if i wanted) and clicked on active directory. i input all the information, but its not working. Does anybody no another way to add a domain or Configure active directory to work on my mac. I know i have all the info correct because my PC is on the same domain. In advance thanks!

Hi JuniorNM,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you try to log into a Windows 2003 server from a Mac, the server will respond with a credentials request, same as if it were a PC.
Username/password need to be entered to gain access.
The comment you've made about "The alias "comercial2" could not be opened" is saying the "Shortcut" to the networked volume is not accessible because either the path is bad or the credentials are wrong.
If the location to the origianl item has not changed when the alias was made, then most likely the password has been changed in the PC world. You can use any valid PC account to access the server when using the Mac to log in to the 2003 server.
When that happens a new alias will have to be made because the alias stores the access request data also.
(All this has nothing to do with Active directory unless your computer has been added to the A/D forest).
Also:
Adding a PC to a domain has nothing to do with using Active Directory except the account adding the computer to the domain must have the priviledges to add computers to the domain. Active Directory will allow a user account to access an individual PC (or groups) and control what the user can and can't do.
I hope this helps.

Problem authenticating user in Active Directory cross domain

Hi,
We have two different AD servers serving our London and Tokyo networks. My application runs in London network but used by both London and Tokyo users.
The two ADs have domain trust setup between them. I have groups defined in London AD to which users from both the London and Tokyo ADs are assigned.
'm trying to connect to London AD using the "users credentials" and retrieve the groups they are assigned to.
I can connect to the London AD using any of the London user and I could retrieve the groups. But when I use a Tokyo user credentials to connect using the London AD server 'm getting Security exception with a code indicating "User Not Found".
The code I use which is very basic is given below . The code below run as such gives me the following error,
[LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090334, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 525, vece.
If I change in the code below, Provider URL to Tokyo AD Server URL then it works but I can't use that due to security restrictions. As per the Windows Team the domain trust should allow me to connect/bind to the London AD Server with the Tokyo credentials.
Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "london ldap server url");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "[email protected]");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
env.put(LdapContext.CONTROL_FACTORIES, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.ControlFactory");
ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
I would like to know how to authenticate a user in a cross domain Active Directory environment. I read in one of the blogs that the "simple bind" will not work for cross domain user authentication. Unfortunately the blogger didn't mention what would work :( . Any help is much appreciated.
Please bear with me if my query is a naive one and point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Jothi

Hi Praveen,
to avoid losing data when user objects are moved to new locations in the LDAP server, it is possible to configure the User Management Engine to use the value of a specific unique attribute as part of the unique ID instead of the distinguished name.
For this, you have to change the following UME properties:
For user objects: ume.ldap.unique_user_attribute=<attributename>
For account objects: ume.ldap.unique_uacc_attribute=<attributename>
For group objects: ume.ldap.unique_grup_attribute=<attributename>
Be aware that the attribute (i.e. cn or uid) must be unique in the configured user/group path.
Please read SAPNote 777640 for more information regarding this problem and the way to change the UME properties.
Best regards,
Robert

Downgrade of Windows 2012 r2 to Windows 2012 Domain Service Active Directory

I have an uncertainty. we used adprep /forest and adprep /domain tools on windows 2012 R2 to update the domain active directory. But after promoting a domain controller to windows 2012 R2, we realized that a tool we use to authenticate computer account not
supported for domain controllers in Windows 2012 R2. Here comes the question, I can to install direct and promote a domain controller windows 2012 without running the adprep /forest and adprep /domain tools of Windows 2012?.
I hope be clearly.
tks.

Hello,
as others mentioned there is no problem to promote a Windows Server 2012 into the domain as the functional level is fine for this.

Oracle Users authenticated in Active Directory

Can anyone tell me if we can from oracle forms, authenticate a user in our Domain(Active Directory).

If you want to use the Domain Users group for the purpose of representing all the users then you can use the "All principals in domain xxx" group which is created by UM.
Coming back to Domain Users group. For determining group membership in AD UM uses "member" attribute of the group object. "Domain Users" group is treated differently by AD. It is the default primary group for all the users and normally members of the primary group are not specified using the member attribute.So when we sync the data from AD "Domain Users" membership does not get completed.

Problu00E8me avec BO Active directory

Post Author: julien_troubat
CA Forum: Administration
Bonjour, nous avons récemment migré des utilisateurs d'un groupe de travail dans un domaine Active Directory Windows Server 2003. La machine cliente est sous windows 2000. Les données étaient précédemment stockées en locale sur la machine. Lors de la migration nous déplaçons les documents des utilisateurs sur le serveur Active Directory dans leur dossier personnel. Le problème étant que lorsque on execute une requête (stockée maintenant sur le serveur), Windows nous renvoit une erreur nous disant : le fichier (ou un de ses composants) est introuvable. Vérifiez que le chemin et le nom de fichier sont corrects, et que toutes les bibliothèques requises sont disponibles. Si on essaie de lancer BO, rien ne se passe. J'ai donné le controle total à l'utilisateur sur le dossier de BO dans Program Files, ainsi que sur c:orant Quelle est la solution ? Merci d'avance n'hésitez pas à demander pour plus de précisions.

Hi,
thats a really old Version. There were some issues prior to SP2 with updating the AD Graph on schedule base.
I would recommend to update to SP3 before doing deeper troubleshooting.

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.

How to install Small Business Server 2008 in an existing Active Directory domain

It is shown on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453, "How to install Small Business Server 2003 in an existing Active Directory domain".
Is it possible to do this with SBS2008 ?
If "YES", are there any published information about the procedure ?

Yes, it is. Thank you very much.
But there is something that confuses me - I want to migrate from Win2003Std to SBS2008. And also, I want to keep the existing Win2003Std as a second DC for a long time.
But it is written in the shown article:
... After the migration is finished, you must remove the Source Server from the network within 21 days. ...
Is this rule mandatory for the scenarios where the Source Server is Std, not SBS ? As I know, I can have more than one DC(Win2003Std/Win2008Std) together with SBS2003. But what about SBS2008 ?

Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

Hi,
I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller
When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
The log file logged the details of this error as:
ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
that cannot be translated."
After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
I got some pointer from the below thread
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu

Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

SharePoint 2013 Active Directory Groups represented as c:0+.w| SID in UserInformation list instead of c:0+.w|Domain\Groupname

Hi
We are running on SharePoint Server 2013.When we add AD groups as permissions, we see that the group name is being displayed properly in the permissions. Whereas when I click on the groupname I see the SID with the Sharepoint specific claims characters,
instead of domain\groupname. I understand that the claims characters are because of claims mode. But I expected domain\groupname instead of SID. Is this the right behaviour.
When I call SiteData.GetContent web service, I get the SID of the group name instead of the domain\groupname.
Can someone please clarify?
Thanks
Naga

Hi,
Yes, the identity claim for an AD group is based on the SID of the group. The claim encoding for an Active Directory group consists of the following sections:
c:0+.w|<SID>
•"c" for a claim other than identity
•"+" for a group SID
•"." for a string
•"w" for a Windows claim
More information:

How to configure multiple domains in Active directory

HI,
How can I configure multiple domains on Active Directory. When I installed AD it asked for a domain name, there I gave ravigupta.com as domain name. But now I find no way of creating another domain.
I am a java developer and my task is to write a programme which returns all the domains available in LDAP server.
To start with ,I tried to create few domains in LDAP server ( AD ) but stuck up ,as i found there could exist only one domain.
Please tell me how to configure multiple domains in LDAP server ( Active Directory).
I skiped DNS configuration while AD installation.
-ravi

I'm sorry, but you should be asking on a different forum. This has nothing to do with Java.

Is Lightroom supported in a Active Directory domain environment with multiple users logging into a machine?

We are a school district using an Active Directory environment. We currently use other Adobe products with multiple users on different machines and it works fine. If Lightroom does work in a domain environment what are the required local user permissions needed for it tor work properly? Thanks!

Lightroom is not a multiuser program. It is required that the catalog is located on a hard drive that is local to the machine accessing it. There are no workarounds.

Can i recover my all active directory domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ??

My only Active Directory Server on win server 2008 R2 with one domain controller crashed today. The only backup that i had was IFM media.
So what i have done till now to recover it is a follow
I reintalled window server but this time it is winserver 2012. I added AD DS role to it. Promoted it to Domain Controller. (functionality level is 2008 R2)
On second server i installed win 2008 R2 and trying to add additional domain controller from IFM to recover all of my domain users,computers and GPO's. but i am getting this error
Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XXX, DC=com from the remote domain
the naming context specified for this replication operation is invalid
i dont know weather my approach is correct or not
but my simple questions is
Can i recover my all domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ?? if yes how can i do that?? urgent help required.

yup exactly i created a new domain(in new forest) with same previous name in window server 2012 on SERVER-1. As ifm file that i had was generated from 2008 r2 so on second server i installed window 2008 r2 and tried to add role of additional domain controller
from ifm file on SERVER-2 using dcpromo /adv . every step went ok but in last step when it starts replicating domain controllers it poup following error
Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XYZ, DC=com. . .
and roll backs every thing.

Is it possible to modify the timeout of the userID on my active directory domain when off network?

My work Macbook Pro is using a domain account from my office. When I travel and the domain controller is not reachable it takes 30 to 60 secs longer to log into my system because it has to wait for the active directory domain controller search to timeout before it will use cached credentials (i.e. a mobile account). Does anyone know how to modify my system settings to reduce the timeout or even eliminate the delay all together? I am running the latest version of Yosemite.
Thanks,
Mike

Here is the modified VI, saved in LabVIEW 2012. Follow these steps to patch your system:
1. Close LabVIEW 2012.
2. Backup the following file: LabVIEW 2012\resource\Framework\Providers\VILibrary\libFrame_OpenPageRef.vi
3. Replace it with the version attached to this post.
4. Restart LabVIEW 2012.
Now you should no longer experience the 30 second timeout when the class property page loads. I set the timeout to "-1", so it should wait as long as necessary to open the page.
Note that if you ever repair or reinstall LabVIEW 2012, you'll need to patch this file again. Also, I wouldn't try patching any version other than 2012, since there may be other changes made to this VI across LabVIEW upgrades.

Joining 10.8.5 with existing account to Active Directory domain

Hi-
I have a MacBook Pro that I am using as a test computer to figure out how to introduce the growing population of Mac's into our Active Directory environment in our small company. This comptuer is running OSX 10.8.5
There is a test account in AD that I will be using to connect to the windows domain. I am able to get the Laptop binded to AD, and have no problem authenticating, and seeing all the network resources required.
Here is the part that has me stumped:
Is there any way to take my existing "local" account that was configured when I began using my MBP without Active Directory and continue to use it, but logon to the laptop using my Active Directory account?
Perhaps copy all the settings and preferences from the local account ontop of the AD account on the laptop?
I have been using this laptop as my personal machine for many months and have quite a few customizations made to my deskop preferences, icon layouts, etc. This will be same case with all of the users that will soon be authenticating on the domain. We need this for centralized management of network shares, password policies, and number of other security features.
There is some limited information on the web, but nothing that I have tried really works, here's some of what i found and the difficulty that resulted.

- The script mentioned in step 3 was not able to copy local account to the destination folder.

- The sudo mv /Users/USERNAME /Users/DIRUSERNAME command was not able to make the "DIRUSERNAME" directory, and did not have any effect if this directory already existed due to a prior logon.
I'm just looking for some help making it so that my users can retain their desktop layouts that they are used to, but logon to the domain using AD credentials.
Seems simple, but is pretty difficult to get done.
Thanks in advance for any help....
