Verify site permissions to publish to Active Directory SCCM 2012 warning!

Hi there I corrected the problems as it says in your report but sitll coming back, any other solution how to get it  done.
I do thank you for any help.

Are you running the pre-requisites for ConfigMgr?
If you have delegated the Primary Site server computer account Full control over the System Management container you need to restart the server for this to take effect.
If you have already done this and you are still getting the warning- carry on with the installation. I've seen this happen and everything has been OK after the install.

I am in the same experience as Gerry, but would like to add that you *always* get this error if the permissions have been applied using a group membership instead of directly added to the computer account in AD.

  • Perms to specific reports folder in sccm 2012

    Have set up access to certain reports based on security settings in sccm so accounts in specific AD group can access certain sccm reports via ssrs reporting web site.  Utilized the very useful information in the links below.  I have a request for
    the group to access the network folder reports, but that means I would have to give RUN REPORT perms to the SITE permission in the security role, as that is the only group that includes the network folder.  I don't want to give them access to the
    rest of the stuff it includes, such as client push, client status, replication traffic, etc., as that would just cause confusion among the customer base.  I don't want to give them anymore than they need.  I tried giving the group rights to the individual
    reports in the network folder, but the problem is that since there is no access to the folder itself without doing the above, they can't get to the reports.  I could give them rights to the folder via SSRS but then SCCM would just overwrite that 15 minutes
    later.  Does anyone have any suggestions on this one?  Thanks.  : )

    I'm not concerned about giving them more rights, I'm concerned about giving them access to reports that they don't need access to, otherwise there would be widespread confusion and misunderstanding.  This, in turn, would generate anxiety-based
    calls to the support desks, that I would like to avoid.  I'm not trying to hide anything from them, I just don't want to cause undue worry and confusion.  Make sense?
    So don't give them access to reports that you don't want them to have. Here is a blog that will tell you how to grant access to one report.

  • Procedure performing a "Retry Secondary Site" Operation in SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary Server

    Dear Brother,
    My SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary Site Server, unfortunately crashed and required to be restored, doing this I end up performing a "Retry Secondary Site Operation.
    One by one I am clearing out the errors but there are few remaining errors on the prerequisite checks:
    1.[Failed]:The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE.  You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.
    Actions Done: SQL Related Services use Logon As Domain Account "Microsoft-Domain\BillAdmin" , but still the above message still appears in the logs.
    Actions Done: None
    2.[Failed]:The collation of the site database does not match the collation of the parent site's database.  All sites in a hierarchy must use the same database collation.
    3.[Failed]:The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have
    manually verified these permissions. For more information about your options to configure required permissions, see
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233190.
    Actions Done: None, as this machine is previously a working Secondary site for 1 Year already. So I do not suspect anything from the current related configuration.
    4.[Failed]: Either the user account running Configuration Manager Setup does not have sysadmin SQL Server role permissions on the SQL Server instance selected for site database installation, or the SQL Server instance could not be contacted to verify permissions.
    Setup cannot continue.
    Action Taken:  Domain Account "Microsoft-Domain\BillAdmin" has a
    Sysadmin roles and actually all the check boxes are chosen to acquire all SQL account roles" 
    5. [Failed]:Prerequisite checks complete with failure - check ConfigMgrPrereq.log
    in the root of the primary site server system drive.
    6[Failed]:Unable to complete secondary site server installation - check ConfigMgrSetup.log in the root of the secondary site server system drive.

  • What is the Best Practice for publishing Offline Root CA Cert and CRL to Active Directory?

    Hi,
    I've read and seen in a few labs different approaches to what is published in Active Directory for a Offline Root CA.  I've seen just the Root Cert published to AD as well as the Root Cert and the Root CRL published to AD. 
    I can understand why the Root Cert is published to AD, but why would the Root CRL need to be published to AD, especially if my Offline Root CA just issues the Cert for my Subordinate Issuing CA?  So looking for Best Practices here.
    Thanks for your help! SdeDot

    Best practice is to publish CRL to 2 alternative paths - LDAP for your internal users to access them on the first place and HTTP as an alternative option to LDAP and as the only option for your external users.
    No, the current recommended best practice is to publish to a highly
    available HTTP location first (and possibly the only CDP) that is available
    both internally and externally. This covers Windows and non-Windows
    devices, domain joined and non-domain joined devices and internal and
    external devices as well as multi-forest scenarios with no trust between
    forests.

  • Windows client error joining with Samba 4.2 Active Directory server

    I have a basic samba 4.2 ADC setup on CentOS 7 and I get a RPC server not available whenever I attempt to join a windows client to the domain. The smb.conf is default on created during provisioning. All indicated pre-testing seems to work as expected. The windows client finds the domain and recognizes a valid user or not but the last step of joining the domain ends with the error "Unable to join the Domain RPC server not available. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have a scenario for you in active directory when two passwords may be valid:
    Old passwords can also work on domain controllers that have not received replication yet from either the domain controller the password was changed on, or the PDC emulator in the domain.
    Let's take a scenario where we have a 3 site, 3 domain controller (DC) active directory: Site1 with DC1, site2 with DC2 and site3 with DC3.
    The ACS application resides in Site3 and is configured to use DC3 for authentication. We have a user "user1" with a password of "123".
    User1 decides to call the helpdesk and changes his password to "456".
    The helpdesk uses DC1 to make password changes because they are located in site1. For a period of time (based on replication, which defaults to 3 hours between sites) the 123 password and the 456 password will be
    valid.
    If the user1 user tries the "123" password it will work until DC3 receives the changed password from normal replication. If user1 tries to use 456, DC3 will flag this as a wrong password, and then check the PDC
    emulator of the domain to see if it has received a newer password. The PDC emulator will validate the login, and then trigger an immediate replication with DC3.

  • Printing to Active Directory Printer Share

    I followed the instructions provided at AFP548 (http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20070108171607985) for printing from OS X to a printer that is "published" in Active Directory.
    However, I am unable to actually add any printers using ksmb.
    Nowhere do I see an "Advanced" option in the Printer Setup Utility, and the available options when clicking "More Printers" in the Printer Browser window are: Windows Printing, Bluetooth, and AppleTalk. There is no option for "Windows Printer via SAMBA with Kerberos support" and no place to enter a "ksmb://servername/printershare" URI.
    I have tried this on OS X (10.4.8 and 10.4.9) and OS X Server (10.4.8 and 10.4.9), with the same results?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi applyd
    Don't take this the wrong way either...
    No problem.
    It's not difficult having to hold down one key one
    time. But holding down a key, clicking a button,
    dropping down a list, selecting an option, dropping
    down another list, selecting another option, and then
    finally getting to use the keyboard to specify what
    printer I want to use, even once, let alone having do
    to it over and over again for each printer, is, at
    the very least, incredibly unnecessary. And it would
    seem that Apple actually went "out of their way" to
    implement this, which means it's more "difficult" for
    everyone.
    I take your point and it is a good one to make.
    You may find this useful if you need to do this for a large user base. Set up your printers, make a copy of com.apple.prin.PrintCenter.plist from the Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder and push it out to all your users using ARD. This would mean you only have to set up your printers once.

  • Cisco ACS 4.2 + Active directory + peap

    Hello guys!
    We have acs 4.2 SE + remoteAgent which is located on our DC. WLAN with wpa+wpa2[802.1x auth] has been configured and all working perfectly - domain users trying to connect and gets user\pass prompt, after it auth succesfull and wireless access granted. But its a bit complicated with non-domain users, when they trying to connect to this network they get windows security alert because machine authentication not passed(PC not in domain so ACS can't auth this users). So, if i enable machine authentication under external windows database setting, acs succesfully authenticated station but wont promt for user\password. How can we enable prompting for user\pass while still maintain machine auth ?
    Thank you!

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Active Directory to Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory

    We are currently running Windows Server 2012 Active Directory and would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 AD. Is it OK to just do an in-place upgrade, or is it advisable to build new domain controllers on R2? Are there any guides or articles anyone
    can recommend?

    Hi Ginandtonic,
    To upgrade DC(Domain Controller) from windows server 2012 to windows server 2012 r2, please refer to these articles:
    Upgrade from windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2                                 
    Upgrade Active Directory from 2012 to 2012 R2
    I hope this helps.

  • For find activated lync client using SCCM 2012

    Hi All,
    In my current company we have in deployed lync client. But we are not sure how many clients are activated.
    Is there any way to find which system got activated using SCCM 2012.
    Please suggest and let me know any reference.
    Thanks 

    I really don't know, but I would guess that a file or registry key would change once it's activated. Basically, I would simply compare an activated system with a not activated system and look for the difference. Once you've located that you can create
    a compliance setting to see how many system are actived, or not.

  • Active Directory Permissions to Profile Manager

    Hopefully this will help anyone else who runs into this trouble.
    OSX 10.9
    Server App 3.0.1
    We have a profile manager server setup using our Active Directory. After initial setup the system was working fine and all users could access the services.
    In attempting to adjust the web service the permissions for service was turned on and domain users could no longer log in to enroll devices.
    To resolve this issue I worked through the following steps.
    In Server App > Groups found Domain Users (The group containing all users in the domain)
    Clicked the Gear and choose Edit Access to Service
    Checked off Profile Manager.
    I then added Domain Users to the Local Workgroup and allowed the same access to services. This could be done with a different group if needed.
    It may work at this point but as an additional step you can install the Workgroup manager tool from Apples Download site. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1698
    Log int to your Local Directory, I used /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1
    Find the group you added the permissions to in the local domain and add your Active  Directory Domain Users to that group.
    Hope this saves someone else the annoyances I went through.

    So after a little more trouble shooting as well I ended up using ths post after a backup of the database.
    To backup the database I use this Post - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3791994
    pg_dump -U _devicemgr -h /Library/Server/ProfileManager/Config/var/PostgreSQL/ -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
    And resetting the server app and database.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23925691?tstart=15#23925691?tstart=15
    Interstingly this pulled my old database info back in and restored some settings that had been lost. I'm not really sure why and wouldn't trust it to happen again.
    My issue is now that AD users have to log in twice. The first time they get a denyed error. Then they log out and login on the same browser or a differnt computer al together and they can get in.

  • Active Directory Forests Publishing Status

    Hello,
    I installed SCCM and my active directory Forest has Publishing Status: Insufficient access rights
    Any idea how I can fix this?  I searched on the internet and can not find it.  Thanks.

    You need to give your SCCM server computer account in AD permissions to publish to the SystemsManagement container. That's where it publishes information to the forest.

  • Creation of a second Exchange 2013 server on a different site (with the roles of MBX and CAS) fails on prepare active directory and prepare schema.

    Hello everyone
    I have a network infrastructure  consisting of 3 sites, site A, site B, and site C. i have 2 domain controllers on every site, and the AD roles are on the primary domain controller on site A. On site A I have an Exchange 2013sp1 CU6.
    I want to create a second Exchange on Site B, with the roles of mailbox (the exchange on Site A will be first DAG member and the Exchange on Site B will be the second member of the DAG) and CAS.
    First question: Is my  thought correct about installaing on the same server mailbox and CAS server?
    Second question: how many DAG witnesses I need for the DAG? One per site, or one in general (for example located on site A)
    Third question: When I am trying to perform “Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms”  I receive the error
    “ Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:
     The Active Directory schema version (15303) is higher than Setup's version (15292). Therefore, PrepareSchema can't be executed.  See the Exchange setup log for more information on this error. For more information, visit:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.AdInitErrorRule.aspx “
    I tried  to run the PrepareSchema from  the ISO of Exchange 2013 SP1 and form the extracted content of Exchange 2013SP1 CU6 archive, but still receive the same error. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your answer,
    I have tried to run "Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms”  from
