IMac 8.1 and joining to Windows 2003 active directory domain

My boss just purchased a new iMac and he wants me to join it to our Windows 2003 AD. Does anyone have a step-by-step procedure on how to do this or can someone give me stepwise pointers on hoe to do this.
I try joining the iMac to the win2003 domain but keep getting this message
"Unable to add the domain - An unexpected error of type -14120 (eDSAuthFailed) occured.

The error message (eDSAuthFailed) means that your creddentials failed to authenticate you. That means that either you've provided incorrect creddentials, or the AD server is not configured to allow that machine into its domain.
The basic process for binding, though, is pretty straight-forward (by GUI). Here's a good example: http://www.smallbizserver.net/Articles/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/Article ID/234/PageID/359/Default.aspx

Snow Leopard and Windows 2003 Active Directory Binding Issues

Ok I have a new imac 27" with snow leopard (completely patched).
I am attempting to join it to an active directory domain.
First the prequel:
* I have opened full traffic to and from the machine and our domain controllers
* I have enabled full logging on the firewall and there are no blocked packets
* I have used wireshark to watch the traffic on the mac and there appear to be no anomalies (packets being sent out but not getting a response, dns requests that aren't answered, etc)
* I have enabled full KDC logging on the domain controller in question and there are no errors in any of the event logs on either domain controller.
* The domain admin account in question has Enterprise, Schema and Domain Admin rights
* I have tried it both with and without an existing computer account and with every conceivable combination of caps and no caps on domain name, user and computer names.
I am getting the following error at the very end of the process:
"Unable to add server. Credential operation failed because an invalid parameter was provided (5102)"
I enabled debugging on Directory Services and will post a log in a reply.
Anyone have any ideas? I have been banging my head on this for a week with no luck.

Here is the log with the Active Directory: entries grepped... the full log is far too large to reply to here, if you think you need it let me know and I can email it to you it is 548kb
obviously machine names, usernames and ip addresses have been munged.

Integrating SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hi Gurus,
We are planning to integrate our SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active directory.
I have several questions on this:
1. Can i authenticate all the users from SAP
2. It is used only for user authentication or can it be also used for password authentication
ie user can login using his windows password?
3. While integration in SAP does a separate table or a field is created in database.
4.If a employee leaves a company than in SAP is it possible to lock & deactivate the user automatically.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nihar

Hi Mastek,
You should be able to accomodate your needs with respect to integration of your AD accounts with SAP ECC ABAP. This can be done via LDAP connector configuration. The below has info on how to perfrom the configuration at a high level. You will have to integrate, and map certain user data. You may also want to do some LDAP Connector research:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/10/1a063a15c611d4b61f0000e835363f/content.htm]
On the Java stack - you can also confugure UME to integrate/authenticate with AD:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/12/7678123c96814bada2c8632d825443/content.htm]
Hope this helps!

Binding MAC 9.X workstations to Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hello all,
Has anyone achieved sucess with adding/binding Mac 9.X workstations to Microsoft 2003 Active Directory? We have 25 iMAC 9.2.2 workstations (we cannot upgrade to MAC OS 10.X because of hardware limitations) on a Windows 2003 SP2 network. I know that it can work with MAC OS 10.X but looking for a OS 9.X solution.
I want to be able to apply security, printer scripts for the MAC computers using the 2003 Active Directory.
Thanks
17" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 2 gb ram

You don't need to do anything in AD other than create the user you want to log onto your Mac.

Join acs express to active directory domain

i have a problem joining acs express active directory domain , both are reachable to each other in the same subnet & no firewalls between them , but when i test the connectivity it gives this error:
" required service unavailable. DNS is setup correctly , and the domain controller is reachable , however , one of the required services, such as ldap,kerberos, or global catalog service is not available. This issue may arise if there is a firewall between AD domain controller, and the ACS Express appliance"

It is sounds like a bug CSCsw29387 Join AD domain, with one DC down fails. If the ACS Express is trying to join an AD domain in a multi domain controller environment and one of the domain controllers is down, the ACS Express will fail to join the domain.

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.

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.
Printer
Problem: Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable – Why does windows say no printers are installed?

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Oracle 8.1.7 for Unix and Windows 2000 Active Directory

Is it possible to integrate the users and passwords of an Oracle Database running on Solaris with the users and passwords defined in a Windows 2000 Active Directory? What are the requirements and the necesary steps?
I've read the documentation and it shows how to do it if you install Oracle in a Windows 2000 Server, but it does not mention about installing it in any kind of Unix.

You should consider to base your firm security and central user repository on REALLY SECURE and ROBUST product technology. Not on Windows 2000 Active Directory. Win2K AD is known to be slow and insecure. If you have Oracle on Solaris your data is secure and next step is to move user accounts to real user repository. It may be one of well-known LDAP servers. Try to read some materials on CERT Coordination Center (http://www.cert.org) which describe LDAP servers. After this you can choose the server which best suite your needs.

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.

Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
please help me. it is very very disaster!
I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

Hello,
I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

Windows 2000/Active Directory - Gateway on none domain controller

I have been trying to configure a Gateway to run on a non member server and have it point to a domain. All attempts to work of the remote machine have failed and wonder what I am doing wrong. Here is an out line of what I have done:
Environment
All machines are Windows 2003 running in VMWare instances.
Machine 1: Gateway machine. IDM is installed but not running. Server name = USTRSDLMS009VM1, member of the workgroup IDM
Machine 2: AD machine, Gateway installed. IDM is installed but not running. Server Name = USTRSDLMS009VM2. Domain Name = IdMTestAd.IdMTest.com.
Machine 3: IDM is installed and running. Servername = USTRSDLMS009VM3 member of the workgroup IDM
Basic Tests:
All machines can ping each other by both computer name and ip address.
Easy step first
Connect to IDM on Machine 3 (IDM server) configure the Windows 2000/Active Directory RA to point to the Gateway on Machine 2 (AD server). All works perfect. Server is identified with IP address.
Remote server test
Connect to IDM on Machine 3 (IDM server) configure the Windows 2000/Active Directory RA to point to the Gateway on Machine 2 (Gateway machine). This does not work. Configuration of Resource Parameters is as follows:
Host: Configured using both IP or ServerName
TCP Port: 9278
User: Administrator
container: cn=users,dc=idmtestad,dc=idmlab,dc=com
LDAP HostName, DomainName, IP or Servername of Server 1 (standalone gateway server). This is the setting that should allow me to use a remote machine. NOTE: I have done tons of tests and they all indicate that this field is not working.
I get the following error message when I try and connect:
Test connection failed for resource(s):
AD-VM2DirectConnect: Error opening object 'LDAP://cn=users,dc=idmtestad,dc=idmlab,dc=com': ADsOpenObject(): 0X8007054B: , , The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
I have also tested connecting to the LDAP using an LDAP browser with the same credentials from the standalone gateway machine. Worked fine.
The following is the Gateway Trace log from the standalone gateway machine. I will post it as a seperate item in the thread (a little cleaner I think). But the basic error section is:

Active Directory Domain Services crash after Administrator renames object in Active Directory Users and Computers

Hello.
We have two domain controllers - node1 (Windows 2008 R2) and node2 (Windows 2012 R2). When administrator connects to node2 and tries to rename some object in AD (for example, user) AD Domain Services crashes and reboot server after 60 seconds.
In Events I can see these messages:

In node2 we installed all available updates and hotfixes.

Hi Azamat Hackimov,
Regarding to error messages, it seems that the
ntdsai.dll file caused the issue. Based on current situation, please use
sfc /scannow command to scan protected system files and check if find error and repair. Meanwhile, you can also navigate to the location of this DLL file and confirm details.
In addition, Windows Server 2012 R2 has reboot unexpectedly. Please check if you get some dump file and then analysis it. It may help us to find the root reason. Please refer
to the following KB.
How to read the small dump memory dump file that is created by Windows if a crash occurs.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263/en-us
By the way, it is not effective for us to debug the crash dump file here in the forum. If this issues is a state of emergency for you. Please contact Microsoft Customer Service
and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request, please refer to the web site listed below:

Hope this helps.

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...

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...

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:

If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
Technical Support Ticket for assisting further with break-fix.
Thank you,

Active directory domain services stopped after removing routing and remote access role

Hello everyone;;
I am in deep trouble.. I did install routing and remote access and then lost connection to the server remotely. Then I connected a monitor to the server and removed the role... then it asked me to restart the server . After logging back in I found
all my active directory service has gone... I can see red cross on active directory domain services.. Also I am able to ping other pcs but other pcs cannot ping my server..
However when I go into the active directory services, it shows all services are running except file replication service. I have tried to start that service but it give error 1053 error..
My server in between loses LAN connection... I dont know what is going on.. Please help!!!
My server is win 2008 R2 ser pack 1
Only one DC....
Has fixed ip,

Hi,
The File Replication Service Start Error 1053 error can be caused by damaged Windows system files. Corrupted system files entries can threaten the well-being of your computer. Many events can result in creating system file errors.
