Hello,
I was surfing the threads to see what is going on until I saw this posts and I was stopped to download this tool. It is a great tool Meinolf ! I downloaded it and trying to check all the reports. So far so good my friend. Also I was amazed once I saw the
nice "Trust Relationship" icon. Every time I run this tool I will definitely check for Trust Relationships first. :)
In addition I was wondering how it is possible to inform you about a method in order to improve the design in this tool?
Regards.

Active directory reporting tool

Hi ALL,
Anyone could help me in finding reporting tools for Active directory
Thanks

Are you looking for real time monitoring tool or health checkup tool. Event viewer can be used to find the issues in the DC's.
DCDIAG is best tool to analyze the health of the AD, Repadmin for monitoring replication, DNSlinit for DNS etc.
What does DCDIAG actually… do?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/03/22/what-does-dcdiag-actually-do.aspx
For GPO AGPMC(Advanced group policy management console), GPinventory etc can be used.
For FRS/DFSR, you can use FRSDIAG tool, SONAR etc.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc180912.aspx
For real time monitoring tool, you can use
SCOM (System center operations manager)2007 R2, you can also have audit collection service with SCOM.
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21357
There are other 3rd party tools like Netwrix, Quest, Admanager plus etc.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Report Tool

I have some computers in 2K8 R2 AD that are no longer in use in our organization. I would like to run a report to see which computers in our AD structure have reported to AD within a certain amount of time so I will know whether to delete them or not.
Is there a tool I can use specifically to see if computers in our AD domain have logged in within a certain time frame?

You can use my script here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Remove-Inactive-user-2caf199a
All you need to change is

Cannot install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool on Server 2012 w/ SQL Server 2012

I went to change a user password on the server today and after changing the password I logged into the SQL server to run “Import-module dirsync” & “Start-onlinecoexistencesync” in powershell in order to sync the new password with Exchange Online. After
waiting ten minutes I tried setting up the email on the user’s PC but the new password was not being accepted. I logged into Office 365 and I got the following warning.
"Warning: Last synced more than 3 days ago | Troubleshoot"
So I pressed troubleshoot and the site installed a tool on the server to try and find out what the issue was. After the tool ran it told me that the version of dirsync.exe was out of date and that I should download the new one and install it. So I downloaded
the new dirsync.exe (version 7020 I believe) and tried installing it. I kept getting error after error, different ones to boot.
First it told me I wasn’t part of the FIMSyncAdmins group (so I added myself), then it told me that it could not connect to MIIS server, so I tried starting it and windows said that there was a problem with the sign on used by the service so I had
to reset the password for the local user named “AAD_bfd1d6f0cef7” which was being used by that service. The service started successfully and when I went to install it told me I could not and if the problem persisted I should uninstall the old version and reinstall.
Looking in the log file, before I even install the software I see the following Information...
Level: Information
Date: 2015-03-24 12:49:17 PM
Source: Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
"The current configuration of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool is invalid. Please reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool."
So I tried to reinstall (i even manually uninstalled the old version and removed the folder in C:\Program Files\ called "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync") and on reinstall I get as far as "Installing Components" and then after a little
while it errors out with the error "The install was unable to setup a required component. Check the event logs for more information. Please try the installation again and if the error persists, contact Technical Support. "
Looking at the log file there are a bunch of new entries, created by the installer. There's over 300 new entries and I can not post them all here due to character count restriction. you can find the log file here...
www.clarkfreightways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dirsync_log.txt
Can anyone tell me what is going on, I've been looking through the log files and I can see errors but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Greetings!
Wanted to know if you've hosted the DirSync tool (latest version) on a VM? Also, if this is deployed in a Production or Lab environment? If it's a lab setup, you may
try installing the DirSync on a new VM / Server (suspecting that it could be some machine related issues).
Here's a Support KB helping with different errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2684395
If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
Technical Support Ticket for assisting further with break-fix.
Thank you,

Exchange and EOP and "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool".

Hi,
Since we are using our on-premises Exchange server and Microsoft EOP only for spam filter, and
we are not using the EOP created domain "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com" for anything.
Technically speaking, do we require
"Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool" to be installed and synchronizing all our AD to the EOP!
Thanks,

The Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Tool allows you to filter mail in EOP for nonexistent recipients. This is a pretty useful antispam feature that you'll be forgoing if you choose not to deploy the tool.

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.

Active Directory Report

Hi,
I need to make a report that reads from my company's active directory and shows all active directory groups and their users... in addition i need it to be able to update automatically when someone adds a user in our active directory, anyone know a query that would allow this to happen?
- Daniel

So are you saying your requirement is that you must access the Active Directory via Oracle? If so, have you considered DBMS_LDAP?
Without knowing any other requirements wouldn't it be easier for the System/Network administrator to generate this report?

Active directory report getting Database Vendor Code: -2147217911

Hello,
I've created a report with CR 2008 to query some user names from Active Directory (Windows 2008 R2)
The report works fine on my computer (with my user)
works fine when I deploy it to BO XI 3.1.
But doesn't work when I schedule it.
I don't change the database logon user when scheduling. (it's the same when I run it online successfully)
I get the following error
Error in File ~tmp459c68e0c50eda0.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: -2147217911 ]
what can I do?
Thank you
Erman Ulusoy
Edited by: erman ulusoy on Apr 11, 2011 2:39 PM

So here is the answer,
I've forgot to uncheck save data with report. So the report was not working also on BO.
So with a domain user it has worked.
thank you

Active Directory Migration Tool Moving Users before groups?

How are permissions to resources granted? By user or by group?
It's been so long I can't actually remember, but I think we moved users and groups together.
The SIDs will change if things are moving to a new domain. But the migration tool handles that for you.

What are the draw backs of migration users before groups in a interdomain migration? if any
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Active Directory Migration Tool Issue

Hi,
I am currently doing a pilot to migrate users from a Windows Server 2003 Forest (2000 FFL, 2003 DFL) into Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008R2 FFL, 2008R2 DFL).
There is an External Trust setup between the 2 forests.
Having successfully migrated some test users and groups from Source to Target domain, I am able to access resources on a file server located in the Source domain (due to SID history being migrated along with SID Filtering being disabled)
My issue is that I want to now use the Security Translation Wizard to add the newly migrated users and groups to the Source File Servers ACLs, Registry etc.
ADMT is installed on a Target DC and when I run the Security Translation wizard it fails and the log shows the below...

Is/was AGPM installed on the server you ran the security translation
agent on?

authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the NtpClient.

I've been trying to debug errors one at a time, but I'm having a hard time finding any information that pertains to this issue as a whole. Anything you can tell me about this would be great, thank you for reading.

It was the only server in the network, the only dc in the old forest. When I re-installed ad ds I gave the new forest different name, but I guess the old settings are still in the system somewhere conflicting with the new setup? Is there a way to
purge the old setup entirely and start over with ad ds, or am I going to have to re-install the whole OS? Thanks again for the help.
Honestly, the best way to handle this is to rebuild the server. There are many things that are "left behind" when you remove the Domain / Forest from a Domain Controller. In fact many articles will say after using ADMT (active directory migration
tool) you should decommission the original Domain Controller (aka reinstall the OS).
While you could spend more time trying to get that domain controller working, it absolutely is going to be 1) More reliable 2) faster to reinstall the OS on the old domain controller. If you are still leveraging storage, or services on that domain controller,
you will want to back them up, or have a transition plan before reinstalling everything on the server. I have a feeling if you choose to keep troubleshooting this, you will run into more issues down the road.

I want to export my Active Directory users and import them to different domain.
I try to use ldifde without any success.

I would suggest the Active Directory Migration tool.

If you have 2012, it will be a little more complicated.

Active Directory Cross Forest Domain Migration

Dear All,
We are in the process to rebuild new Active Directory infrastructure. Multiple single forest domains in organization which needs to be consolidated/migrated on single Active Directory Domain. For this consolidation, have some queries to be addressed before
going to start consolidation.
What is the best practices and what tool should we use for domain migration/consolidation
Active directory is on Windows 2003, forest and domain level is on Windows 2003, this will support to Windows 2012 R2 forest and domain functional level, will be migrated
directly from windows 2003 to windows 2012?
When move users to new domain, how will they access the other resources on the network. For e.g. Printer, File server, local web base application
After moving some computers to new domain would be possible to access remaining computers on old domain?
How the file server data will be moved? Best practices with NTFS folder permissions and users rights?
Is there any policy to register network printers on new Active Directory domain?
How users would be access web base application on new domain as their FQDN would be define with old domain name? Any option to change old domain FQDN with new domain that would be describe with any URL link?
Kindly give your valuable input to meet the desire result.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Lucky,
Ya you can Migrate contents from multiple forest domain. Using ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool)is the best way to migrate AD content. But you can't migrate from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2, cause in Windwos Server 2012 R2 don't
have the supportebility of Windows Sever 2003.And not only users you can also migrate all others info (i.e. Computer object info, groups info, Exchange mailbox info, security info).You can migrate users face by face, means which peoples are in old domain they
can access old domain and new users are in new domain.For more info please follow the given link:
