One Way Trust, Start with RWDC Then Go To RODC?

So, we have an internal network and a DMZ network in play here. I'm attempting to setup a one way trust so resources on the DMZ network can be managed from the internal network. Internal network has RWDCs in its domain, and the DMZ has its own
RWDCs in its own domain and a RODC from the internal network's domain. The internal network's RODC is in its own site in AD and is confirmed to be communicating with the RWDCs in the internal network. The RODC is not an authoritative DNS server,
but can host a secondary zone or stub zone. The functional level of the internal domain is 08r2 and the DMZ domain is 2012r2, if that matters.
The task is to setup the one way trust, and its proving a bit difficult. So far I've attempted both Conditional Forwarders or stub zones on the RODC and the DMZ RWDC, no dice. There are no observed DNS replication problems within the domains
themselves and using ping and nslookup, I've confirmed that DNS resolution is working between the RODC and the DMZ RWDC. When I try to create the trust from the DMZ RWDCs, it fails saying the specified domain cannot be contacted. Based on what
I've read online in other posts and my inability to get around it, it seems that a trust requires a RWDC at each end to function. If this is not the case, I would love to hear how it can be setup with a RWDC at one and and a RODC at the other.
Now, if its correct that the trust requires two RWDCs to setup, what if it was setup with two RWDCs and then one of the RWDCs was removed and replaced with a RODC? I guess what I'm asking is does it just require a RWDC at each end to be setup, or does
it also require a RWDC at each end for the trust to function properly on an ongoing basis?

Hi,
Sorry it takes me some time for testing and reply.
I've confirmed that it is fine to replace an RWDC to RODC after trusting is setup. You can set it in your environment.

Cannot share documents with few users in one way trusted domain

Hello
I am running in a wiered issue. I setup people picker in SP 2013 foundation version to lookup the user from one way trusted domains after which I started getting all the users from that domain in my intranet. I can also share or modify the permission of
users being administrator. However when I try to add 2 specific users as site collection administrator or try sharing a document, I get error.
I can lookup their name but when I try changing their permission or share document with them, I get error. It's wiered because it is only with this two users. there is no difference from Active Directory point of view between these and other users. Please
help or suggest some trouble shooting steps.
Regards,
Hardik Bhilota.

Hi Hardik,
What was the error message when sharing documents with the two users?
Please also check the ULS log for detailed error message which is located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
What is the permission of the two users in SharePoint site? Can they access the site?
Please also run the two commands below to see if the issue still occurs:
First, on every front-end Web server on a farm run this command:
STSADM.exe -o setapppassword -password key
Second, on a front-end Web server run this command:
STSADM.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv domain:DnsName,user,password -url http:// webapp
Best regards.

SCCM 2012 R2 cross forest with one-way trust feasible?

We are planning to replace our existing SMS 2003 server with SCCM 2012 R2 (running on Windows server 2012 R2).
Our requirements are to support client our Windows 7 client PC's in Domain A and also support Xen Desktop clients in a separate domain (Domain B) and forest. We have a one way trust established (Domain B trusts Domain A). The SCCM 2012 R2 server will be
in Domain A the same as our current SMS 2003 server.
What we want to do, at a minimum, using SCCM is:
Client inventory (hardware, software, user) and package distribution.
Is this do able or a no go? If not directly is there any work-around for this? Appreciate any helpful advice or feedback.
I have made the below diagram to better illustrate the scenario:
Note: Domain B does not have WINS implemented (Domain A does). Both domains are running DNS of course.

Hi,
The following blog describes the technical requirements that have been put in place for the support of cross forest communication. You could have a look.
Quote:
Inner-site Communication (site to site communication) exists in the form of both File Based Replication (SMB Port 445) and Database Replication (TCP/IP port 4022 by default).
In order to install and configure a child site (primary or secondary), the child site server must be located in the same forest as the parent site or reside in a forest that contains a
two way trust with the forest of the parent (CAS or primary).
Site System Roles (MP, DP, etc.) with the exception of the Out of Band Service Point and the Application Catalog Web Service Point can be deployed in an untrusted forest.
The SLP functionality as known in ConfigMgr 2007 is now performed by a Management Point. In this blog I will refer to this as the Lookup Management Point.
Most of these items were taken from this TechNet article – please refer to the article for more information -
Planning for Communications in Configuration Manager .

Remote Management of Hyper-V Across One-Way Trust

In order to abstract our hardware from the platform, we would like to virtualize all of our physical machines, installing Hyper-V server and just running one VM on Hyper-V. We hope this will allow us to quickly migrate machines that currently cannot be on
our virtual environment for whatever reason.
We set up a management domain for all of the Hyper-V servers separate from our main domain. A one way trust was established between the main domain and the management domain, with the management domain trusting the main domain. On the management domain,
we created a domain local group, called Management Domain Admins, which contains the foreign security principals from the main domain. The Management Domain Admins group is added to the Hyper-V built in Administrators group.
Now here is the problem, from a workstation in the main domain, we can manage every part of that server except for adding a virtual hard disk. We can manage the firewall, we can look through the event log, we can create virtual machines and connect them
to existing virtual hard disks, but we cannot create a virtual hard disk. The log returns:
The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)
We disabled the firewall on both the workstation and the server with the same result. Using a workstation WITHIN the management domain, logging in with an account from the main domain, we can create a virtual hard disk. We have also tried enabling anonymous
DCOM and adding the Hyper-V server to the Trusted Hosts list in WinRM to no avail. Also, using inline authentication, we can create virtual hard disks on the server BEFORE adding it to the domain. But as soon as it's added to the domain, we can no longer create
hard disks.
Appreciate any insight!

I hope it isn't the trust and it's something dumb I forgot to set. I checked again and "cscript .\hvremote.wsf /anondcom:grant" returns "INFO: Nothing to do - ANONYMOUS LOGON already has remote access"
Thanks!

Active Directory: One Way Trust from NT Domain to 2003 Domain being upgraded to 2012 R2

We have an old legacy NT 4 domain that is slowly being decommissioned. (Slowly is the key word) Currently there is a one way External Trust between those NT 4 domains and a child domain that is at 2003 functionality. We are in the middle of upgrading
those child domain and the root domain to 2012 R2. My only concern right now and I can't seem to find concert proof either way, but will that external one way trust break when upgrading the forest and domain functionality to 2012 R2 once we
have all our DC's upgraded? I have read articles on how to get that trust to work in a 2008 R2 domain and of course it is working with the existing 2003 domain.
In theory the trust should break, correct? However, I know there are some security changes among other things in 2012 that may or may not work.
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Yes. We are working with the client to migrate any dependencies off these 3 NT legacy domains. We will be able to decommission 2 of the 3 without any issues. However, they still have an old NT box running SQL 6.5 databases for a application still in
production. Yes, they are very aware that NT isn't supported, that that version of SQL isn't supported, and that this will hold up their upgrade.
Our plans for them will be to deploy all new Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers but keep the domain and the forest functionality at 2003 in order to support that final NT Legacy domain until they can get that application migrated.
Once that NT domain is decommissioned then we can raise the functionality of the rest of their domains from 2003 to 2012 R2.

One way trust relationship between different domain windows server 2012 in different forest

I'd like to build trust correctly between the domains A.local and B.int. A.local is on a Windows 2012 . B.int is on a Windows 2012 . Both machines are
connected to the same LAN. The forest level in A.local
machine is Windows Server 2008 and The forest level in B.int
is Windows server 2012.
I want a one-way trust relationship, i.e. users from A.local gain access to B.local.
my problem it i create the trust put when i go to validate the trust between A.Local and B.int give me this error :
The secure channel (SC) reset on Active Directory Domain Controller \\dc2.B.int of domain B.int to domain A.Local failed with error: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
NOTE : Recently I
UPGRADE THE Active Directory FROM 2008 R2 TO 2012 and i ping on A.local to B.int
it is ping by name and IP but from b.int ping by IP JUST >>>

Hi,
yes i already do it the setup conditional forwarding between the 2 domains and

Users see all applications in RDS 2012 Web access in one-way trust domain environment

Hello!
We have RDS 2012 deployment in domainA.local. There is a one-way trust between domainA.local and domainB.local: A trusts B and B doesn't trust A.
A user from domainB.local authenticates in Web-access interface (wa.domainA.local) and sees
every published application in every collection in the deployment independently of UserGroups setting of collections and applications. This occurs for any domainB user.
In the security log of wa.domainA.local we can find an event :
An account failed to log on.

On TGS-REQ for krbtgt/[email protected] there is an answer: KRB5KDC_ERR_S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN (7), server name krbtgt/domainB.
How to deal with this issue? The aim is to show only specified applications to domainB users.
Any help would be appreciated.

Good way to start with the learning the 11g concepts

Hi,
I have a work experience on the BEA weblogic server 8.1 sp4 on which i have worked for about 2 year now. My current assignment requires working with the Installation/ Development and deployment in the Fusion middleware 11g server. Could some body please suggest me a good way to start with the learning the 11g concepts.
I understand that all the documentations are available in the Oracle forum, but i want to understand where to start from.
my core tasks in the assignment would be
1. installation (OSB on top of WLS).
2. development/configuration on OSB.
3. Deployment and administrative tasks.
regards,
Prakhar

Hi thanks for the update. I have been going through the links and found them very useful.
I have few new doubts.
In all the tutorials for getting started with the Fusion middleware, the examples which are given use the Oracle JDeveloper extensively. This IDE is used for implementing the BEPL and other important aspects. I found this very similar to the Workshop IDE initially bundled with the BEA-Weblogic 8.1. Is JDeveloper enhanced to accomodate the features of the Weblogic Workshop IDE?
Also, i need some information regarding the Eclipse IDE which is bundled with the OSB installation. Are there any tutorials available which show how to use the Eclipse IDE with OSB.
Also, can the Eclipse IDE be used to implement the same set of components which are being developed using the JDeveloper in the tutorials.
My concern here is i want to know the best way to start with the training/development. I am already familiar with the Eclipse IDE and donot want to switch to the JDeveloped unless it is absolutely necessary. Can one of these IDE be used repeacebly in place of other.
Please inform me if in case my wuestion is not clear.
Regards,
Prakhar

One Way Video Chat with an AIM user

Hey......im wondering if there is a way to one way video chat with AIM users........(using aol instant messenger)ive tried a few times, but it says "data not recieved for 10 seconds" and the one way video chat stops....im wondering if this can be fixed?

Hi Bruce,
This is possible.
It seems though, that for some that they come across the problem you describe.
I do not have any definite answers but I don't get the problem but I have run the "Tuning" on the PC end even though it does not have a camera or Mic.
I am not sure if this is the Fix or just coincidence.
The problem was more common at iChat 3.0 and 3.0.1 and is related to the amount of data that iChat percives it is getting. Strangely t was by sending files we found out what the problem was/is.
When files are sent the Video is paused whilst this happens. In the conenction Doctor you can see a Mac to MAc chat drop to a Bitrate of 24kbps. In A Mac to PC the bitrate does not stop at 24kbps and continues down to 0 (Zero). When this is 10 sec old then the chat is eneded with the error message.
If you have not already try updating to 10.4.3 as this was supposed to adress the problem.

One way trust WMI issues - only on domain controllers

Hi all,
I'm having some interesting issues with attempting to setup remote monitoring via WMI from a trusted domain service account to some remote domains in our environment. There is a one way trust setup, and the service account has no problems with any client
machines, but gets rejected when attempting to query the domain controllers.
I've verified this is an issue both in our enterprise and production environment. I assumed it had something to do with the Domain Controller Security Policy and added the account in question to the following policies to no avail:
Act as part of the operating system
Log on as a batch job
Log on as a service
Replace a process level token
Now I'm beginning to suspect it's something to do with not being able to add the service account to the "domain admins" group, however I'd much rather a solution that didn't involve giving this account admin privileges at all.
I've given the account read permissions to /root/CIMv2 via the WMI control MMC snap-in, as well as DCOM remote enable and added it to the "Distributed COM Users" and "Performance Monitor Users" groups.
I'm fully out of ideas and my google-fu is failing. Anyone hit this before?

Hi,
Yes, you will need to know the credentials of the domain admin in the trusted domain.
You can try to use Get-WmiObject command, and input trusted domain administrator’s credentials, which should give you admin privileges.

One-Way Video Chat with Windows User

Hi - I have tried several times to begin a one-way video chat with someone using windows XP and AOL 9.0 (I have an iSight and iChat 4.0). She says that it says "connecting" for a long time but nothing happens. I came across the following website yesterday but have not tried any of its tips yet because of their complexity: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service
I was wondering if it is possible to have a one-way video chat with a windows user if they don't have a camera or a microphone. If not, is it possible to have a one-way audio chat?
Sam

I think your PC pal will need a microphone for one-way video to work, Sam.

Can't start One-Way Video Chat with some Buddies

I have a MacBook running the latest version of iChat AV 3 (3.1.5 v440).
I just held a video chat with my father. He's also using the latest version of iChat.
Quitting that video chat, I also wanted to video chat with my mother in law. She's also running the latest version of iChat (on her non-intel mac: 3.1.5 v436). However, in my Buddy list, she shows up with a greyed out icon for the multi-chat. My audio and video chat buttons disable when I select her. There is no "Invite to One-Way Video Chat" menu.
We have both restarted our computers. We're both listed as Buddies of the other. No luck. My father shows in the buddy list as available for video chat, my mother in law does not.
I've previously been able to video iChat with her. What's going on?

5 minutes after posting, my wife noticed that one of the other computers in the house (with a different .Mac account on it) was 'ringing'. Apparently my mother-in-law had left an open audio chat invitation to another account, and that was preventing a new chat from starting. Sorry for the noise, hopefully this answer helps someone else.

One-way video chat with iSight on Mac to PC via AIM

I recently bought an iSight camera for my powerbook G4. I am having trouble getting a video chat connected to my friend who is using AIM 5.5 on his PC. I am using AIM 4.7 for macintosh. Are there any tips on getting a one way video chat started?? he doesn not have a webcam

Hello Ivy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your PC pal should upgrade to the current AIM 5.9. If fixes some of 5.5's problems.
AIM for Mac has no video (or audio) capability). More info in the MSN, Yahoo, Win Messengers & iChat? FAQ.
See Using iSight with iChat AV for info on how to use your iSight for video chat.
Then, see Mac Video Chat with PCs for info on making video connections with PCs.
For more information on one-way video, search your Mac's
b iChat > Help > iChat Help
for "one-way video" (without the quotation marks).
The requirements for one-way video are the same as for two-way video except for one camera.
One-way video between an iSight-equipped Mac and a correctly configured PC is possible for most users. However, some users report that they can just NEVER get it to work. We do not know why that is. Adding any compatible USB webcam to the PC system (and "tuning" correctly after the addition) should let you make video connections if you are one who cannot make it work without a camera.

IPhone 5 won't charge when plugged into lightning connector one way but if it flips then it works

My iPhone 5 won't charge when it's plugged into the lightning connector one way but if I flip it then it works. It's not my charger because it's the same way with other chargers. What's wrong with my phone?

Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

One-Way Sync iPhone with iTunes?

I Posted this question a while back:
Hello...
On several occasions I have managed to delete content on my iPhone using sync in iTunes, and I somehow find iTunes not very intuitive and logical on the matter of syncing.
My basic question is of there is a way to force a one-way sync, or "Just transfer crap to my phone but don't even dare touch the content on there or I will un-install you!"...
I have a total of 3 computers which I use my iPhone with.
- Work: at my work I generally use to sync my calendars ect. so I always have my work calendar on me,
- Home Workstation: this I use to manage the music on my iPhone primarily.
- Home Laptop: this I use for verious stuff.
What computer should be allowed to do what? (R-Read, W-Write, D-Delete)
- Music: Work - RW , Home WS - RWD, Home Laptop - RW
- Calendar: Work - RWD , Home WS - RW, Home Laptop - RW
- Apps: Work - RW , Home WS - RWD, Home Laptop - RW
And so on, so as you can se, I would like to ONLY let my workstation at work delete stuff in my calendar, it may add stuff or read stuff of any kind, but NEVER delete it.
And so forth...
Is there anyway of adding such restrictions?...
And i got this answer:
Welcome to the discussions,
See this article about syncing and merging data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
The main thing is, you can only sync to one itunes library at a time. If you want to sync to more than one computer, you'll have to manually manage your media content to avoid getting it deleted when you connect to another computer.
See also http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535, "Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone"
Thats all very well, but... no...
Going to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
And attempting to follow the instructions there, well fails because what happens in step 5 when clicking apply, is the dialog that ask if i wan't to erase and re-sync. That means i can't even Enable Manually management of videos and music without erasing the content on my phone?...

See if this cnet video gives you any help. The best you can do is trick itunes into thinking it is syncing to the same library database file on all PCs.
http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
You will have to pay careful attention to how itunes preferences are set on each PC.
The thing was designed to sync with one PC, really. This apple article pretty much states it will get corrupted if you try to use multiple PCs repeatedly:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
and advises using a 3rd-party solution to do it. The cnet video I linked also has mentions of 3rd-party programs htat will do what you want.
