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.
http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/37886-convert-mac-local-user-into-ac tive-directory-network-user
- The script mentioned in step 3 was not able to copy local account to the destination folder.
http://robotcloud.screenstepslive.com/s/2459/m/5322/l/112415-convert-local-accou nts-to-network-mobile-accounts
- 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....

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 ?

  • Convert Open Directory mobile accounts to Active Directory mobile accounts

    We have 200 or so Macs using OD mobile accounts.
    Implementing Active Directory, getting rid of Open Directory.
    How do I change the mobile accounts from OD accounts to AD accounts so that it authenticates against the AD Domain Controller and thus change compter login password when it's changed in AD?
    I can convert accounts this way:
    a.    Delete users’ user account in User preferences pane of System Preferences, but choose to not change the home directory.
    b.    Log into users’ account by choosing the other option, thus creating a mobile account.
    c.    Log out, log into admin account, delete the newly created home directory, rename the home directory from the deleted users account to match the name of the deleted home directory and do a chown –R on the directory for that user.
    Obviously doing above 200x times is tedious and I'd like to avoid this if possible!
    Any other ideas?  Preferably a script I can deploy to all computers?

    I am also testing Leopard in my Active Directory domain and here is what I have found so far. The wireless networks in Leopard seem to be a combination of Panther and Tiger. Each 'Location' that you set has its own list of preferred networks. I have one location for when I am locally on the domain network and others for my bench network and all others under 'Automatic'. The one problem with what you are talking about is that if people change locations and forget to change it back before they log in, it will not find the network, however, adding the other networks all in one location is fine as long as the AD network is on top. You also have to wait about 20 - 30 seconds after you reach the login prompt before proceeding or it will log in without being connected and the AD resources will not be available. I am also finding that Panther knew when it was not on the AD network and did not give any errors, however Leopard squawks when I log in on a different network.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

    Greeting dear colleagues!
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
    has about 1500 users/computers.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
    maybe only some small questions :)
    Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Dmitriy,
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
    As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
    to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
    Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

  • Creating computer Names with small letters and they appear as capitals in Active Directory Domain

    Hello,
    When I try to create computer objects in Active Directory - namely when i change computer name with small letters, in active directory users and computers they appear as capital letters and in DNS console as well.
    I know that it's not a problematic issue and technically all goes fine but, i want to know the reason.
    Is it possible to change computer name with small letters while joining in the domain and than in AD it appear with small letters also ?
    Thanks in advance,

    If you are asking about during the client join process, I believe the machines do all caps and you have to accept that as default.  I'm guessing it is a legacy issue for older clients that has hung on such as possibly related to WINS.

  • 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:

  • Working with XServe in Active Directory Domain

    I'm starting to lose my mind. Is anyone else working with an XServe in a strictly Active Directory domain? Im essentially using it as an FTP and SMB file server. All sorts of weird stuff happens out of the blue like, all of a sudden today I can no longer log in to the Local Admin account no matter what I do (I've reset the password, tried logging in automatically). Root account no longer lets me in...the only way I can get in is to log in as a Domain admin YET, if I log into the server through Workgroup Manager or Server Admin with the credentials for Local Admin, I get in just fine. What gives? It feels like there's major permissions screwiness going on...
    And earlier, file sharing permissions just weren't working no matter what permissions I gave to who. It is driving me nuts.
    Anyway, if anyone has ANY wisdom to impart re: using XServe to manage files, FTP, etc... in Active Directory I would love to hear it: tips, stories, experiences, resources, how to's etc...
    Thanks

    This area is more for the XServe hardware, you need to post in the Mac OS X Server software section, as the OS can run on more than just hardware, hence the software category.

  • 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.

  • Disable user account on Active Directory??

    I sync user account from iPlanet DS to Active Directory through Meta Directory. If I disable user account on iPlanet DS, can meta directory disable the user account on Active Directory Server?

    AD has an attribute called userAccountControl. This attribute has a value of 512 when an AD account is active and 546 when it has been disabled. I flow a constructed attribute called userAccountControl with two rules, one for enable and one for disable. The selection criteria for the enable/disable rule is based upon a change in employee status. For example, (%mv.employeestatus%==T). Another way to do this would be a single attribute constructrion rule that calls an external script (written in Perl) that accounts for multiple conditions and then enables/disables the AD account accordingly. In the attribute flow rule, you flow the constructed attribute userAccountControl to mdsAdUserAccountControl (assuming an AD-Specific schema setting in the AD connector).

  • SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

    I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
    "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
    Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
    ID: 2607"
    What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    5) Neither service account is locked out
    Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...
    Andrew Topp

    That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
    as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
    "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

  • How to transfer user accounts from Active Directory to Open Directory
