Migrating to new Active Directory Domain

Hey people,
I have a OSX Server here at a school which I need to move from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. We are having a restructure of our IT System and 90% of our equipment is PC but have a few macs on site for the specific tasks that we need them to do.
The OSX server was set-up 2yrs ago by some consultant which charged an arm and leg, so its up to me this time round to configure it. It is not a vital part of the IT system so a rebuild is possible, but the quicker it can moved across the better.
So my question is. Is it easier to "modify" the settings on the OSX Server to the new domain? i.e. change field names in Server Admin. or rebuild the server from scratch?
Our configuration is Apple clients authenticate to AD, but grab all their settings and OSX group membership from the OSX server. I have here a guide called "Leveraging Active Directory on OSX" would this be useful if I need to rebuild the server? I am fairly confident that I wont run into too many problems, but things like kerberos settings, etc may confuse me. Any help would be excellent!

Hi,
perform homogeneous system copy if you migrate from one server to other.
find document at service.sap.com/systemcopy
if you just add you local system to domain then look following
Domain name change for an existing SAP System

  • 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.
    More information for you:

  • Cisco ISE 1.2 and 2 Active Directory Domains

    Hi Support,
    does anyone know whether I can perform Certificate Authentication for two different Active Directory domains using the same ISE host / deployment?
    We have two forests with a trust link between them.
    We have a seperate PKI in each domain.
    I am thinking that the ISE can only be joined to a single domain, but because we have a trust between the two forests, the ISE can have two certificate profiles in an identity source sequence which can then use in a single authorisation policy.
    I take it that I would need local certs from each CA in the local certificate store of the ISE?
    We are performing a company merger and we cannot migrate users to the primary AD domain due to several reasons so we would like to use the same ISE deployment to authenticate Wireless users on both AD domains.
    Thanks
    Mario

    Mario,
    This is possible.  Here are the guidelines for the Multi-Forest support in ISE 1.2:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/user_guide/ise_user_guide/ise_man_id_stores.html#pgfId-1350874
    You would have to set a new Certificate Authentication Profile for each domain and use the Authentication Policies to determine which of the Certificate Authentication Profiles to use.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Active Directory Domain Name Convention

    Hi All
    I'm creating a brand new domain for a new company I have just started at. We currently use Office 365 so sharepoint and Exchange are both in the cloud and our website is also outsourced.
    I am now rolling out our first DC on Windows 2012 Server and I'm find conflicting reports on what naming convention I should use for AD with use with hosted exchange.
    Most seem to point at using a subdomain of our main site, like corp.mydomain.com whereas I come from a background using Server 2003 where its always been mydomain.local
    Can anyone advise me on this one and are there any additional thoughts around implementing with an existing Office 365 setup?

    It seems that mydomain.local is recommended less often (if not discouraged) because certificates from a third-party CA will no longer accept internal domain names, like mydomain.local, in the near future.
    Some links on this subject:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/a460ee18-e674-4c14-b4e8-33afd9ddb2a0/change-local-to-com-to-resolve-ssl-certificate-mismatch?forum=exchange2010
    http://www.digicert.com/internal-names.htm
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/ssl-requirements-for-exchange-when-certificate-authorities-wont-issue-certificate/
    In any case Office 365 will not interact with internal names. If you use such a name currently, you'd have to configure a UPN suffix allowing users to connect with the external name. This link might
    explain it better:
    http://www.messageops.com/documentation/office-365-documentation/active-directory-federation-services-design-planning-for-office-365
    In particular:
    "It is common for organizations to use one domain name internally and a different domain name externally. A best practice was to have your internal Active Directory domain name have a .local or a .corp suffix.  With Office 365, the UPN suffix must match
    your external domain name which you have registered and verified within Office 365.  In these types of situations it is necessary to add a UPN (User Principle Name) suffix to the Active Directory."
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • Active Directory domain controller could not be contacted

    Hello
    Help please.
    I am trying to add a new server (2008) to domain 'bridgelimited.local' - only one DC (2003) doing everything at the moment. The plan is to add the new server, then move everything over from the old machine, then retire/upgrade the old machine and use as a backup.
    I am currently trying to dcpromo on the new machine but I get the following error:
    The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain bridgelimited.local:
    The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
    (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
    The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.bridgelimited.local
    Common causes of this error include the following:
    - The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
    212.50.160.100
    196.168.16.2
    - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
    bridgelimited.local
    local
    . (the root zone)
    For information about correcting this problem, click Help.
    192.168.16.2 is IP address for the DC.
    Any help would be grately appreciated.
    Kind Regards
    Richard

  • Active Directory Domain Services Child Domains

    I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771856(v=ws.10).aspx
    When I select "Add Roles" I click on "Active Directory Domain Services (Installed)" the "Next>" button is not enabled and can not be selected.
    Did I install ADDS wrong?
    Is this not how you define Child Domains?
    If I use the Command Line or Answer File Methods I get an error message at "ChildName".
    Did I forget to install something about enabling Child Domains when installing ADDS?

    Hi,
    Did you try to create a child domain on the Domain Controller? It seems like that this Server is already a DC, with Active Directory Domain Services installed.
    We don’t have to enable anything in the root domain for creating child domains/new trees, we just need to run
    Dcpromo or Add Role on another server which is not a DC, and select the existing domain as its parent, then the child domain will be created.
    In addition, please make the existing DC as the preferred DNS server on the new server.
    I hope this helps.

  • Install software on multiple client computers in active directory domain win 2008 R2

    We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Domain. We will be getting a few new Windows 7 computers that we will need to install all our proprietary software on, and don't want to have to install all programs, including windows
    updates, individually, on each machine individually.
    Is there a (as simple as possible) way to maybe create an image from a "master client computer" with all software, windows updates etc. and push out to the clients.
    Also to create a boot disc with the image in case a hard drive fails and we have to replace it.
    * It's not Windows we want to install here (unless we replace a hard drive) but for now, the clients already have windows 7, and we want to install antivirus, Adobe reader, windows updates, and our proprietary software.
    Thanks

  • AFP only works for Active Directory "Domain Admins"

    I have purchased a new XServe to add to our Active Directory domain as a member server. It all seems to work right except that only users in AD who are members of the "Domain Admins" group seem to function properly under AFP.
    The Mac Clients can connect to our Windows boxes just fine and AD login's seem to work for loggin in any clients. I've created a shared volume on the XServe and when I try to access it via AFP with any user account that doesn't have Administrator rights I get "Invalid Login or Password" on the Mac Client.
    Anyone got any ideas, this is driving me crazy.

    Post to the appropriate server forum or AD forum where people dealing with these products hang out.

  • Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering

    Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
    I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
    When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:
    NASE-2012-234    4015    Error    Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service    DNS Server    1/14/2014 12:54:06 AM
    The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
    When I click on DNS this is the error:
    The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.

  • The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted

    I have 2 domain controllers running 2003 server, server1 and server2. I ran dcpromo on server1 and removed AD and removed him from the domain and disconnected from network. I then added a 2012 server
    with the same name and IP address server1 with no problem. Replication from sites and services work fine on both controllers.
    The new 2012 server1 is GC. I transferred all FSMO roles to server1. Again no problem and replicating using sites and services. AD on server1 is populated correctly.
    Now what I had intended on doing was a dcpromo to remove server2 from the domain so I can then add another 2012 server. That is when I get the: "The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain
     is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted.
    I have DNS installed on both servers and both look good with replicating there. Strange thing is when on the 2012 server within DNS if I right click and connect to another DNS server I can add server2 just fine but from server2 adding server1 it tells me it
    is not available.
    Help please!

    Hi,
    As there is server 2012 DC (SERVER1) DC is operational in a domain then "This domain controller is the last controller for the domain" should be remain unchecked when you demote SERVER2 DC. 
    If you are getting error "Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted" while demoting SERVER2 DC then check the DNS pointing on both as per below article, disable windows firewall on all DC, less possiblities but worth to check if both
    are different site then check the ports are open on firewall.

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/584.active-directory-replication-over-firewalls.aspx
    run “ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns“, restart DNS server and NETLOGON service on each DC and try to demote server2 DC.
    If issue reoccurs, post dcdiag /q result.
    NOTE: If initial replication was completed between both DC (new 2012 and old DC) then you may remove the server2 DC from Active Directory forcefully (DCPROMO /FORCEREMOVAL) and perform metadata cleanup.
