SAP on a windows NT domain controler

Can anyone tell me if you can have SAP intances installed on a Windows NT domain controler??

No it wont be supported by SAP, on a domain controller you can not use local users and groups so the local admin groups would be screwed!!
I'm trying to find a SAP note that says this to pass onto IT, anyone know of one?

Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.

While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Brogers,
Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
I hope we can work out a solution for this.

Domain Controller (Windows) + Secondary Domain Controller (Mac)

Can this setup be done to where the windows box would control windows computers, while the secondary controller (xserve) would control the authentication for Macs?

Hi
OSX Server can function as a Domain Member in a Windows Server environment. It can’t function as a BDC if the PDC is a Windows Server. The only occasion that OSX Server can function as a BDC to a PDC is when the PDC is an Open Directory Master, in other words another OSX Server. In effect this would be an OD Master and Replica relationship.
This applied with 10.4 Server. I may be wrong but I’ve not seen anything in the 10.5 Open Directory Admin Manual yet that says different.
Hope this helps, Tony

Bug fix for SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 and MS Internet Explorer 7.00

With upgrading your MS Internet Explorer to release 7.00 and running SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 the GUI controls based on HTML might work no longer properly. To fix this bug it is neseccary to patch your SAP GUI to patchlevel 23. Download the https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/00ebf59c-4c84-2910-dea9-a40963adc659 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] and run the exe-file on the machine where the SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 is installed.

Unfortenately it still doesn't work properly with this patch. Using Tx sbwp, se80 or pftc you have still the same GUI control problems.

Difference between Windows NT domain registry and Active Directory registry

What are the difference(s) ?

Frank, thanks for your response :)
I want WebSphere Application Server to take advantage of a directory service. There are multiple options available for a directory service.
In my configuration the requirement is to make WebSphere Application server to use Microsoft's Active Directory.
While I was going through (WebSphere) documentation, I see following note.
" With Windows NT domain registry support for Windows 2000 and 2003 domain
controllers, WebSphere Application Server only supports Global groups that are the Security type. It is recommended that you use the Active Directory registry support rather than a Windows NT domain registry if you use Windows 2000 and 2003 domain controllers
because the Active Directory supports all group scopes and types. The Active Directory also supports a nested group that is not support by Windows NT domain registry. The Active Directory is a centralized control registry."
You can find the above note in this link (somewhere after 7th line)
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/csec_localos.html?cp=SSAW57_7.0.0%2F3-11-5-1-0-0
Does it mean that they are recommending to use Active Directory over Windows NT (which is an older approach) with windows server 2000 or windows server 2003 because Active directory is
advanced ?
I was under the impression that, Active Directory was started with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows NT registry was used till Windows 2000 server.
After going through above links,
Windows NT registry in an old method. However, it is compatible with Windows Server 2000 and Windows server 2003 but it is recommended to use Active directory with Windows Serve 2003 as it is more advanced. And the same is recommended in WebSphere documentation
(I am aware that support for Windows Server 2000 is over and only extended support is available for Windows Server 2003 however this is to clear doubt). Is my understanding correct ? And does windows server 2000 also support both i.e we can use either Windows
NT registry or Active directory and similarly, Either of them (Windows NT or Active Directory) could be used with Windows Server 2003 ?
And if I got it correct, Is Windows NT and Active Directory, both directory service offering from Microsoft? While NT being an old method and Active Directory being a new/advanced approach ?

10.4 and Windows 2003 Domain

Hello,
We're a 40% Mac environment where all the Macs are bound to our domain and users log in with Mobile accounts. When we first decided to do this, all the Macs played very nicely with our Windows 2000 domain.
About three months ago, we upgraded our Windows 2000 domain to a Windows 2003 domain and began enforcing stronger password security. Now all of the Mobile accounts on all of our 10.4 machines refuse to let the users change their passwords. Doing so through the Log In window when a password expires does not work. Neither do the controls in System Preferences/Accounts. Neither do the controls in the Kerberos app. It sits and pinwheels for a few minutes, then returns an error about not being able to change the user's password to the password specified.
I tried adding myself to a few of these computers as a Mobile user and then changing my password, but that didn't work either. So it isn't something held over in the user accounts from the old domain, and it isn't a permissions thing since I'm an administrator on the domain.
I've dumped all the Directory Access preferences files. Doesn't help.
Sometimes this behavior can be fixed by unbinding a machine from the domain, deleting the computer's account in Active Directory, then rebinding it to the domain. Lately, that fix has stopped working, and if I remove a machine from the domain, I cannot rebind it to the domain unless I do so using a different computer name - even though the computer account in Active Directory has been deleted.
Mobile accounts on all of our 10.5 machines can change their passwords without a problem.
I'm stumped. Anybody got any brilliant ideas? Information on Macs interacting with Windows domains is pretty scarce.

Hi Scott, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What Workgroup do you have set on the Mac in Directory Access Utility?
See if these 2 links help also...

Arch Samba - Windows 2008 Domain

I have made the thread bellow thinking i solve my problem giving access on FTMG...but unfortunately nope...
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107350
My Situation:
3 Servers on Windows 2008 Domain (Example: 192.168.1.1 / 2 / 3)
1.1 - DC
1.2 - Exchange
1.3 - ISA FTMG (Gateway to all servers)
1 Arch Server for Backup (Samba Share PUBLIC) - 192.168.1.4
And my problem is annoying at least, i go to one of my windows 2008 servers and push on explorer \\192.168.1.4\Backup and sometimes fully work without any problem... and another times (let's say 5 minutes after i push again) and:
Network path could not be found
or
xx.xx.xx.xx is not setup to establish a connection on port "File and Print Sharing (SMB)"
BUT FROM THIS WINDOWS 2008 SERVER IT PINGS 192.168.1.4
AND
TRACERT GO DIRECTLY TO 192.168.1.4
And if i try and try eventually it will work again.....can't damn understand what's going on with this.....
On ISA I gave FULL ACCESS to my servers to go where the hell they want and even so......
Thanks in advance for all the help....yep i need it.

I'm sorry I didn't know that this wasn't covered in the Wiki. When I get some time I'll probably add something about. No neither of those links are correct. You already have one DC, a native Windows server, and the second one isn't necessary (you don't need to join the whole Linux workstation to the domain, just the Samba service; the Samba service will with hostname be recognized as a stand-alone server).
In lack of an appropriate Wiki entry Samba's own How-to is better: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Sam … ember.html
Look for this section: "Joining an NT4-type Domain with Samba-3"
Even that How-to might be confusing since it covers all kinds of configurations at the same time. What you need, as far as I can understand your description, is only what's written in that section.
Start with the strings in smb.conf for domain, password server (in your case probably the DC itself) and security set to domain. Restart samba and the you need to know an administrator account (user and password) and fill it in to the command example shown, e g "net rpc join -S DOMPDC -UAdministrator%password". If everything works you should get confirmation about it. You could also double-check the AD on the DC and see if the Samba server is added.
See if you get this to work.
OK, sorry for the delay in my answer but i was traveling and couldn't test the above in the production environment.
I have add the backup server to the domain successfully but that was not the problem.
Now i have full details and maybe you could give your opinion:
FTMG (Forefront Threat Management Gateway)
SWITCH LAYER 3
SERVER BACKUP----------------------SERVERDC---------------------------SERVEREXCHANGE
THE PROBLEM is that if the DC have a share or exchange, everything works ok \\dc or \\exchange, but if you try to connect to the share archserver the connection drop quite often \\archserver
WHY? Because after some trace in FTMG, the microsoft firewall consider that the archserver is doing spoofing, yes is on the same network as all servers, same domain as above help, trusted...etc.
SOLUTION? First i give permissions on the firewall to the archserver (ALLOW ALL /PROTOCOLS ETC), but even so the FTMG was intercepting all the requests to the archserver and still consider him spoofing...odd enough no??!! By the way the FTMG Server control all network, is the gateway to all servers and switching.
Are you thinking to change the gateway to archserver or just don't put any....yep same result, FTMG catch archserver still.
I gave up and come with my actual solution (VLAN or BACKUP NETWORK), all servers with a extra ethernet card dedicated to the backup network or vlan just to backup without the firewall going there to trace anything.
And that's it....
But my question to you all is, everytime that we have a linux server (share) together with FTMG in same network do you have the same result, it seems to me like FTMG have something like: IT'S LINUX / GET BLOCKED.
Thanks for your help and patience regarding my answer.

CERT_TRUST_IS_NOT_SIGNATURE_VALID when installing a 3rd-party cert in Windows 2008 Domain Controller

Hello,
I'm facing with a problem while trying to install a 3rd-party digital certificate on a Windows 2008 Domain Controller.
Basically, I'm following this TechNet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc783835(v=ws.10).aspx
1) I did create the file Reqdccert.vbs on the Domain Controller
2) then I did generate the inf file
cscript reqdccert.vbs DomainController E
3) and then I generated a certificate request
certreq -new AD.inf AD.req
4) also I've imported RootCA and SubCA into the Certificate Store of the DC
5) I got a signed certificate from our 3rd-party CA running on Windows 2000
6) when importing the certificate I get the below error
C:\>certreq -ACCEPT ad.p7c

Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,

One common reason for that error is that the wrong SubCA certificate had been imported accidentally - e.g. an earlier 'version' of that SubCA with the same Subject CA name but a different key. In this case the validating client will try to build a chain
based on name only but finally the signature check fails.
Could you cross-check if the extension Authority Key Identifier in your DC certificate is the same as the field
Subject Key Identifier of the SubCA certificate? (These are typically hashes of the keys though it is not standardized - it should be a unique string characteristic for the CA)
For the client cert. CERT_TRUST_HAS_NAME_MATCH_ISSUER is indicated in your log - thus Isser name in client cert. matches Subject Name in CA cert, but we don't know about SKI/AKI.

Authenticating a user through Windows NT Domain.

Hi there,
Could anybody please help me out with this issue.
Can a user, who logs into the web application, be authenticated from the Windows NT Domain. I'am only using JSP's and Servlets in my web application on a web server.
Basically all my user's UID and Passwords are present on a Windows NT Server. The requirement in the project is such the I cannot create a seperate table in the data base to hold the UID and Password information. So I have to authenticate the user from Windows NT domain. Is any one out there aware of a way to achieve this.
Any kind of information in this regard would be greatly appriciated.

See if you can use the Windows NT based authentication module that comes with Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Adding Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 to my Windows 2008 domain

Hi,
We have a Windows 2008 domain, and now we need to configure IE 10 options, so we have to import the Windows 8 / 2012 ADMX files. Can we just do the following:
1. Download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991
2. Unzip it and copy the .admx files to c:\Windows\Sysvol\<domain>\policies and create a directory called policydefinitions
3. Then just re-open Group Policy Management ?
Correct way or not? Will this have any implication on network or any old GPO.
Thanks for reply
/Regards Andreas

> But i cant seem to find "Check for publisher`s certificate revocation",

Doesn't exist - only "Server certificate". The old URL might still be valid.

Windows 8.1 Professional users from a Windows 2003 domain to Microsoft IDs

We've had a Windows 2003 domain for about 10 years. The original reason we created the Windows 2003 domain is no longer valid. (SQL Server integrated security)
We would like to convert the domain user profiles on the Windows 8.1 boxes to user profiles associated with Microsoft ID's.
I tested http://www.forensit.com/domain-migration.html but did not have good results. The challenge was the functionality provided by doing Windows Key + W and entering commands such as user, etc did not work. (ie: the store was messed
up)
So I am thinking the best way to do this is to convert the domain users to local users and then convert the local users to Microsoft ID users. I believe the conversion from local users to Microsoft ID users is native to Windows 8.1.
Questions:
1) Is the Windows 8.1 conversion from local users to Microsoft ID users reliable?
2) What is the best method to convert a domain user provide to a local user profile on Windows 8.1?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.
Thank you, Bill

Karen & Milos,
Thank you for your assistance on this matter.
Unfortunately, Windows 8.1 Store Apps represent such a massive change in architecture that I don't believe anyone can be 100% positive that copying user profiles will work properly.
In summary, I've tried the following:
1) User Profile Wizard v3.7 from Forensit.com - this was the closest but the Windows Store Apps did not work properly
2) USMT v5.0 - missed many folders and settings
3)
http://www.shofkom.com/2009/03/14/how-to-convert-your-domain-profile-to-a-local-profile/ - had to reconfigure many applications and the Start screen and Task bars were not set properly
4) Variations of
http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-change-user-profile-location-in-windows-8-without-registry-hack/ - same as #3
5)

In summary, I've decided to create the Local User as a Microsoft ID and then manually copy the Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Music, Pictures and Videos. The other settings such as Outlook, Startup, Task Bar, Desktop, and other app settings will be manually
configured. :-(
Thank you, Bill

Can't See All Windows in Mission Control

My favorite feature on the mac has always been the ability to see all open windows with a simple click (F3 on my keyboard). I often have multiple word documents and multiple pdf files open, as well as two or three different browser windows, several image files, and who knows what else. It is very common for me to have 10-20 open windows and it was always a huge help to be able to see them all at once, with filenames that would pop up when hovering with the mouse. This feature made it incredibly easy to move from file to file and truly see everything on the desktop at once.
As far as I can tell, this is no longer possible with Lion and Mission Control. Now if I have multiple windows open in a single application and enter Mission Control I see them tiled over one another, without filenames displayed for any. Sure, I can see all the applications I have open, but what good is that if I can't see which files I have? It's making it very difficult to work effectively-- basically I have to minimize each window one by one until I find the one I want.
Am I missing something? Can anyone using Lion tell me how to see a graphic representation of ALL open windows, with filenames? Like I could in the good old days? Or is there something like a "see all open files" ability in Finder?
Thanks!

I know what you mean - it was nice to see all the windows.
Tell Apple here: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
To mitigate this problem there is "App expose" which lets you see all open windows for any given application.
And, in Mission Control you can spread a given application's windows a little further apart or you can preview any given window within Mission Control.
How you do all that stuff depends on how you've configured mouse, keyboard and trackpad. For example, on my trackpad, to spread MC windows a bit I slide two fingers up (with cursor over the group of windows). To preview a given window, I put the cursor over the window and hit the space bar. For me, App expose can be activated by 4 fingers down for the frontmost app, and four fingers down with the cursor over the chosen app in the dock.
