SAP in its own Extra Active Directory Domain

Our SAP system was installed on Windows in a separate, dedicated AD domain. 
The SAP installation manual states:
"In Windows, the SAP domain and user domain must be incorporated in a domain tree.  In this tree, the user accounts must form the root domain and the SAP domain must be a child domain of this."
I recently discovered that this was never done.  The SAP domain and the user domain are completely separate.  Further, there are no trust relationships between the two domains at all.
The network administrator is now concerned about how to implement this after the fact.
Can anyone provide information as to the steps required to accomplish what the installation manual states and how the domain structure needs to look?
Thanks and kind regards,
Rex L. Farris

But for the security, the rights are normally given to the group SAP_Localadmin so if you ensure that membership is right, the security should be fine.
There are pros and cons for the different approaches and really depends how comfortable the basis team are with SAP.  The system copy is documented and if I were to follow that route, then I would probably rename the source system and change the IP address - then the target system could use the original hostname and IP address which saves having to adapt RFC destinations and users/systems should be able to access the server without making changes elsewhere.
One thing that I missed off the post was to ask what the DB is.  For the domain switch there are different actions needed for MSSQL and Oracle.
For Oracle you've got the OPS$Domain\SAPServiceSID user (and associated SIDadm user) that you'd need to create, assign roles, synonyms for SAPUser table etc.  Couple of scripts available from SAP that sort that out fairy easily but nonetheless one of the things that I missed.
MSSQL will need to have accounts for the new domain users also and set their default database etc.
Whilst I didn't use AD for my printers, I did use SSO from users in one domain to logon to SAP in another domain and they were both top level AD domains - I just put a trust in.  Perhaps implementing a trust would just save a lot of hassle?

  • 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.

  • SAP R/3 Authentication with Active Directory on Win2k server.

    Hello list ,
    We are running SAP R/3 4.7 with WebAS 6.2 on Solaris and a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. Our users access SAP in 3 ways
    1) SAP GUI .
    2) SAP BW
    3) Travel & Expense - a java application that records users travel details and posts a transaction to SAP using the SAP userid and password.
    Wish to implement SSO for all our users.
    Some research we have done suggests
    1) Using Kerberos for authentication. while it appears that microsoft krb 5 implementation will work only on windows servers, it is not clear how well are other krb implementations supported by SAP. OSS note # 150380 and link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/0ebf6c9b2b0d1ae10000000a114a6b/content.htm
    2) OSS note # 352295 suggest there could be some issue using KRB 5 shipped with unixes.
    "All of the major Unix vendors seem to be shipping a version of Kerberos 5 these days. These implementations should be wire-interoperable with each other and with Microsoft W2K (not necessarily W2K3!), however they may not be interoperable with SAP's shared library interface to GSS-API v2 mechanisms."
    3) There are some commercial solutions like - CyberSafe that provides krb based SSO at a fee. Has anyone tried this software ?
    I have created an OSS ticket but we are still in a queue since 5 days already.
    Has any one from the list implemented a similar solution ? What are the best practices and way to go for a robust solution.
    4) Another option that we have is to start with user synchronization. Where in Users created in Active Directory get synchronized with SAP .
    What is mandatory for us is that Users marked disabled in Active Directory should be blocked in SAP by synchronizing user information at regular interval. If anyone has implemented this solution I will appreciate if they give me some pointers.
    Thanks in advance.

    Tim,
    you are perfectly right: that Vintela product is not certified (as SNC solution).
    But you are not quite right regarding the separate treatment. The major difference between that product and the SNC certified products (such as CyberSafe, Entrust, ...) is: Vintela uses different SNC libraries on the client side (=> our Windows SSPI wrappers, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/352295">SAP note 352295</a>) and the server side (=> their own SNC library, not certified). And that is actually also one reason why that solution cannot be certified ...
    Well, those Windows SSPI wrappers provided by SAP (=> gsskrb5.dll, for example) are also not "SNC certified", but SAP provides support (being in contact with Microsoft). Well, as some people might know, there are also some interoperability issues between different Microsoft OS versions ... - resulting in reactive patches of our SSPI wrappers.
    I really do <u>not</u> want to promote <u>any</u> product - neither the one of Quest Software Inc., nor the one of <a href="http://www.cybersafe.ltd.uk/">CyberSafe Ltd</a>, nor <a href="http://www.entrust.com">Entrust Inc.</a>, nor <a href="http://www.secude.com/">SECUDE IT Security GmbH</a>, nor ...
    I do not even want to disencourage anyone from implementing his own Kerberos-based solution (or any other solution which provides an GSS API), provided that this person is able to help himself. Reason: if products of different vendors are used and interoperability problems occur the usual finger-pointing will start. In the end you'll not get support by anyone ... - as long as you are aware of this (and capable of helping yourself) you can go ahead. Some (known) universities are belonging to that group ... - but it might not be appropriete to the vast majority of customers.

  • 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 Controllers using Virtual Servers

    Hi,
    I want to place a new SAP landscape in a child domain of the Active Directory forest. Due to an ordering error I am short two servers.
    Basically I am thinking about installing a virtual server on each of the development servers and using the virtual server installation to run as Active Directory Domain controllers.
    I know SAP do not recommend using SAP servers to be used as domain controllers, but as these are separate servers with their defined resources, it should not be a factor if the servers are sized with enough spare capacity.
    Can anyone think of any other major issues that would cause me an further issues.
    TIA
    Chris aka BoobBoo

    should be no problem, but please don't try to put the host-operating system in the domain for which their own guests will provide the domain controlers.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

  • Is it possible to modify the timeout of the userID on my active directory domain when off network?

    My work Macbook Pro is using a domain account from my office.  When I travel and the domain controller is not reachable it takes 30 to 60 secs longer to log into my system because it has to wait for the active directory domain controller search to timeout before it will use cached credentials (i.e. a mobile account).  Does anyone know how to modify my system settings to reduce the timeout or even eliminate the delay all together?  I am running the latest version of Yosemite. 
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Here is the modified VI, saved in LabVIEW 2012. Follow these steps to patch your system:
    1. Close LabVIEW 2012.
    2. Backup the following file: LabVIEW 2012\resource\Framework\Providers\VILibrary\libFra​me_OpenPageRef.vi
    3. Replace it with the version attached to this post.
    4. Restart LabVIEW 2012.
    Now you should no longer experience the 30 second timeout when the class property page loads. I set the timeout to "-1", so it should wait as long as necessary to open the page.
    Note that if you ever repair or reinstall LabVIEW 2012, you'll need to patch this file again. Also, I wouldn't try patching any version other than 2012, since there may be other changes made to this VI across LabVIEW upgrades.

  • Failed to install Active directory domain services

    Hi,
    I've installed the AD Domain Services on Windows2008R2 by following this guide http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc755059%28WS.10%29.aspx. After click 'Install', step 6, it showed failed to install but there is no clue why it was failed, at all.

  • Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

    Hi everyone,
    I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
     Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
    When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
    The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
    At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
    Help appreciated,
    John

    Hi John,
    Thanks for posting.
    Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
    To disable Write Caching:
    1. Go to Device Manager.
    2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
    3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
    4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
    5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
    6.Click OK.
    If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

  • 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...

    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?

  • 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.
