Want to modify sysvol and netlogon share permissions

HI all,
As per security concern we need to remove the everyone from share permission on SYSVOL and NETLOGON share.......can anyone provide me the suggesstion for the same...or any documented article which says that how to do it or what precaution showld we take....
Or if the permission is by design has any document or Kb article which says the permission should not be changed.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks........

Hello,
If you remove such permission then you will have issues in appliance of group policies and netlogon scripts on your users. Users should have at least read permission on the SYSVOL folder so that group policies and netlogon scripts will be applied.

  • Monitor Sysvol and netlogon Share availability on domain controllers

     I need to monitor availability of sysvol and Netlogon shares on all our domain controllers around 20 in all.
    What is the best way for us to do that.
    I have seen scripts that monitor share availability but that would mean i create 40 such 2 times script monitors , that is too much of manual work..
    Any advice.

    I looked into the discovered Inventory (SysVol for windows 2008)  I see all theobjects 
    But the path shows as dc01.domain.com\dc01\sysvol
    However we never get notified when the sysvol share is inaccessible.
    We have had a number of cases when the DC is online but somehow we cant access the sysvol share
    We need a monitor to alert us in such a case;
    I modified the our script to include %computername%  and targeted it to all dC's  group,
    Dim oAPI, oBag
    Set oAPI = CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI")
    Set oBag = oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    strFile = "\\%computername%\sysvol\"
    If objFSO.FolderExists(strFile) Then
    Call oBag.AddValue("Status","Exist")
    Call oAPI.Return(oBag)
    Else
    Call oBag.AddValue("Status","NotExist")
    Call oAPI.Return(oBag)
    End If
    However the monitor alerted critical  immediately.
    How should the monitor be.
    I though if i put \\%computername%\sysvol\ in the script and send it to all the DC's group then it will start monitoring as \\dc01\sysvol etc

  • DSGETDCNAME advertising test failing. SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares not replicating. Please help!!!

    Hello all. We are currently running a Windows Server 2003 ADDC as a virtual machine on a Windows Server 2012 host using Hyper-V. We have recently added a second Windows Server 2012 ADDC also as a Hyper-V VM. I promoted the 2k12 to a DC, transferred all FMOS
    roles, and tested AD replication. All AD data was replicated fine. However a DCDIAG (the results of which I have attached to this post) show a few errors.
    First off, it is failing the advertising test. This is more than likely due to a DNS error. Unfortunately, I can not seem to find the error within the DNS to resolve it. 
    Secondly, it is failing the KccEvent test; also seeming as a DNS related error.
    Thirdly, both SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares were not successfully replicated. This is likely the basis for the other issues. Without these successfully replicated, I can not demote the 2K3 server; which is the goal in the end, to replace the old server with
    the new. 
    I am willing to try just about anything, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As for what I have tried, I have tried a non-authoritative restore using burr flags with no success. I CAN ping both DCs from each other ensuring connectivity. All
    users can currently log on to the server (due to the fact that the 2K3 server is still running and still holds the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares).
    Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    1. "Retired1" is the 2k3 ADDC / DNS Server. It currently has a different IP than the 2K12 Server. Verified with ipconfig/all.
    2. I set 2K12 to only 2K3 for DNS; no external ISP servers or itself listed. Registered DNS, restarted netlogon; no success.

    Seems like you have/had a server named "retired1" with the same IP address as the new 2012 server? (if this is a old server) remove all references to it in DNS
    Make sure that on the 2012 server in the TCP/IP DNS Settings, you only point to the 2003 DC for DNS (Not it self for now, and no external ISP DNS servers) - Run ipconfig /registerdns and restart the netlogon service on the 2012 server.
    Can you post and unedited output of ipconfig /all from the 2012 server?
    Did you make the 2012 server a global catalog? (if not I would recommend that)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296882

    Hi all,
    Thanks for your advice.  I updated following settings and restart the server:
    - IPv6: set both address/DNS to dynamic
    - IPv4: Add 127.0.0.1 as alternate DNS server
    Same error reported in dcdiag.   Besides, the server name used by nslookup is Unknown.
    I'm afraid if I've something missed :(
    Sorry for the trouble caused.  Thanks a lot.

  • SBS2011 Recovered from Missing SYSVOL and NETLOGON; looking for original cause - not restore related

    Call from client that they couldn't login to their shares. Connected to the server and found SYSVOL and NETLOGON missing. This has happened 3 times on this server 2014-01-06, 2014-03-26, and 2014-06-04. Although I have documentation and can restore quickly,
    preventing is out primary goal.
    What are the situation is which tis might happen and possible event log items that can give us a warning that this may take place.

    Searched more for SYSVOL NETLOGON Repeat. I excluded the C:\Windows\sysvol directory from Anti-virus scan to prevent locks. Links are below.Thank you,

    Since the PDC server was in Journal Wrap errors state and new DC was not having sysvol share avaialbe to fix the issue you need to first take the backup of sysvol and perfrom D4(authorative restore) and D2(non authorative restore) to fix the issue.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762/
    Also your first step should be finding why JRNL_WRAP_ERROR error has occurred. Normally, JRNL_WRAP_ERROR occurs due to drive/partition being corrupted, antivirus locking and corrupting the file during sysvol scan, heavy size of the files inside
    sysvol and netlogon shares.
    Run chkdsk in read only mode for any errors and if issue reported take the backup of server and run chkdsk/f.Exclude the sysvol/nrtds/sysvol from AV scan too.To fix the Journal wrap perfrom authorative restore assuming you have single DC.See below link too.
    what-happens-in-a-journal-:http://blogs.technet.com/b/instan/archive/2009/07/14/what-happens-in-a-journal-wrap.aspx
    Since you have restored the DC to previous state check the health of DC by running dcdiag /q and also check event log for any errors and warning and post the same if any.

  • Sysvol and netlogon

    Hi guys, quick question,
    Is sysvol the same as netlogon, what I mean is if there is a script in sysvol but I didnt put anything in netlogon, will this script be replicated in netlogon folder?
    If yes, so If I delete this script in sysvol, technically will it be deleted in netlogon
    Regards,
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    I agree with Calin.
    The Sysvol folder is shared on an NTFS volume on all the domain controllers in a particular domain. Sysvol is used to deliver the policy and logon scripts to domain members.
     By default sysvol includes 2 folders:
     1.Policies - (Default location - %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\domain_name\Policies)
     2.Scripts - (Default lcation - %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\domain_name\Scripts)
    Script folder under sysvol folder will act as Netlogon share.
    For more detailed information, you can refer to the link below:
    Sysvol and netlogon share importance
    in Active Directory

  • Windows 2012 - SYSVOL replication and NETLOGON share

    After reading 100 tons of articles and links i decided to open this thread.
    I know today is 1st of april, but unfortunately for me this is not a joke.
    given:
    two 2003 DC's - physical servers
    two 2008 DC's - VM's on ESX 5.1 hosts
    two 2012 DC's - VM's on ESX 5.5 hosts
    domian fucntional level 2003
    situation:
    we plan to decom the 2003's.
    The 2008 DC's are in place since a while and working ok.
    We plan to upgrade to 2012 and here it is where the trouble starts.
    Firstly, I couldn't, by any means, to promote 2012 as DC's until i moved all the FSMO roles from the 2003 DC's to the 2008 DC's.
    After lots of work with the network team we made all the right connections opened the firewalls, made the DCDIAG and DNS tests and the only problem reported are the SYSVOL replication and NETLOGON share.
    I tried all the tools out there to check the replication and the last one is Microsoft's AdRplstatus Tool which made me think that either Microsoft makes fun of me, either i'm the dumbest windows admin on this planet.
    This tool reports that there are NO ERRORS in replicating SYSVOL, but when i run the command 'net share' the 'domain.com\sysvol\scripts' is not there. Further more checking, i try to access '\\domain.com\sysvol' - directory under which i must find the 'policies'
    and 'scripts' folders and, Sysvol is empty - obviously these are present when i do this check from the 2008 DC's or 2003 DC's.
    Is there a known issue for these problems regarding 2012 and ESX 5.5 ? - still, i doubt it.

    still, that DNS server with that error is a linux DNS, but all my DC's have DNS role on and fully replicating and working, including the 2012's.

    To perform non-authoritative restore of sysvol, you set the Burflag value & system will automatically tries to sync contents of sysvol with its replicating partner DC. Its not mandatory to select any particular DC for sysvol replication becasue in a
    same domain, all DC's shares the same sysvol content.
    Sometime, if initialization of FRS doesn't start, you have to follow the below article. Its also applicable to windows 2008 even as long as your using FRS for replication.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762/en-us
    To force the replication of sysvol using cmdline, refer below link.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/justinturner/archive/2007/04/27/quick-tip-force-frs-replication.aspx
    Its better to find out what went wrong with the overall AD domain infra that sysvol has not been able to contact its partner for sysvol replication using depth assessment of the domain. It can be the network,firewall,antivirus or in-built firewall port issues
    which might have broken sysvol replication.

  • No Sysvol or Netlogon Shares

    Good Evening experts,
    I have a Windows 2003 Standard DC which will soon be replaced with a Windows 2008 DC.  I have given the 2008 box the DC role but I have noticed neither the sysvol nor netlogon share have appeared on the new DC.  When I looked into this further,
    I found this error on the 2003 server:
    "The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.    Replica set name
    is    : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"  Replica root path is   : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"  A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it
    is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found.  This can occur because of one of the following reasons.    [1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.  [2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
     [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.  [4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time.  [5]
    File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".  Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically
    recover from this error state.  [1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs"
    to restart the File Replication Service.  [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.   WARNING: During the recovery process data in
    the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again.
    I don't have another DC to pull the sysvol/netlogon details from and wanted some advice.
    Bud

    BHeld,
    Cheers for your reply, I was going to go down this road but wanted to ensure I was on the correct path.  In addition, this particular domain is part of an overall forest but the other child domains are fine, its just this one that won't replicate. 
    Do I need to do anything on the domains in the other child domains or just what you had specified above? cheers
    Dinesh,
    Polices and Script folder is still there.  Cheers
    Bud
    You only need to modify one of the DC in the problem domain. There is noting to be done in all other domains which are working fine. BTW, Sysvol/Netlogon shares are not replicated to other domains.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 and NTFS\Share permissions auditing and inventory

    Does SCCM 2012 have the ability to run inventory and audit reports on client systems' NTFS and Share permissions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as always. 
    Thanks

    Not built-in no. See this post for adding share permissions:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/31be4d1c-28d3-4f67-a2f6-823ab2b13d1e/how-to-collect-share-permissions
    For NTFS permissions, something similar could be done if you had a limited set of folders or files that you wanted to inventory.
    You could also use compliance settings to track if/when specific permissions change.

  • Active Directory Replication Servers (wont replicate SYSVOL and NETLOGON Not showing)

    I have my first DC Server (DC1). DC1.DOMAIN.lOCAL, I decided to add another Domain Controller. Made it a secondary DNS Server and also GC. Everything seems to replicate, but its missing NETLOGON and SYSVOL Wont replicate. 
    Windows 2008 R2

    Errr 5706
    The Netlogon service could not create server share C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\INFGRP.LOCAL\SCRIPTS.  The following error occurred: 
    The system cannot find the file specified.
    Event 7009
    A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the File Replication service to connect.
    Event 1058
    The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\INFGRP.LOCAL\SysVol\INFGRP.LOCAL\Policies\{55DE4000-0D51-44CD-92A1-30F286B2BC86}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until
    this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following: 
    a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller. 
    b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller). 
    c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
    All Critical
    This domain controller has migrated to using the DFS Replication service to replicate the SYSVOL share. Use of the File Replication Service for replication of non-SYSVOL content sets has been deprecated and therefore, the service has been stopped. The DFS
    Replication service is recommended for replication of folders, the SYSVOL share on domain controllers and DFS link targets.

  • ActiveDirectory/DNS and Folder Share Permissions

    I have a remote office connected to Headquarters over a WAN.  The HQ provides DNS, ActiveDirectory, etc.  The remote office is not allowed to use Workgroups.  
    At the remote location I designate 1 machine to be a server and I have 2 clients that want to access the 1 designated server. All 3 boxes are at the remote office,
    I create a share on the server and give 2 local site users permissions to the share.  These users are domain\usernames.   Now the clients both have access to the share on the server and all is good.  
    The Problem: Sporadically, the remote location loses internet and thus loses access to the WAN services such as DNS/ActiveDirectory, etc.  At this point my clients cannot access the share.  Is there a solution to this situation?  Also, using
    local accounts/workgroup is against corp policy so Domain names are required for logins/permissions, etc.  When the WAN is down my shares are dead.
    Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

    Hi,
    As you said without WAN, authentication will be failed so domain accounts cannot be verified to access the share.
    The solution is to build-up a DC or a RODC - you can upgrade your file server to RODC so that it could help handle this kind of issue.

  • I want to break inheritence and create unique permissions in a Project Server 2010 project site list/library.

    Some Project Managers want to restrict permissions on certain lists or libraries in their Project Server 2010 project site. However, when I have done this for them, by breaking inheritence to the parent site and then removing/adding users with unique
    sharepoint permissions, it seems that when the project schedule is published, some of the newly created permissions are lost.
    I have tried creating a SharePoint group at the project site level and then applied it with specific permissions (eg. Contribute) to the list/library and this seems to work better but I haven't been able to confirm yet if this will work in the
    longer term.
    Does anyone know what is the best method to break inheritence and set up unique permissions on a list in a Project Server 2010 project site that will not be lost when the project schedule is published?
    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks Lynda
    I am aware that I can disengage the entire permissions sychronisation using that setting but that is not what I want to do.  I just want to be able to break the inherited permissions on individual document libraries or lists on specific Project Sites
    so that I can restrict access to nominated people.
    My issue is that when I do this, I find that some of the amended permissions disappear from time to time.  It seems to be related to when the schedule is published.  They
    don't revert to the inherited permissions, just some of the people who I have given direct access to no longer have access.
    Im just trying to find out the best way to manage setting non-automated permissions on a single list or library in a Project Server project sites so the changes stick.

  • New DC without netlogon share is not working.

    Hello all,
    I have a brand new DC  (server 2012) that I joined to my domain and it is not behaving. It is a clean install plus the directory services role, the static IP and the promotion, nothing else. The domain has one more DC (server 2012) and it is functioning
    properly. The DNS servers of the new DC are the working DC and 127.0.0.1 as secondary. The time is the same, the name is new on a new install of windows (no images, no cloning, no restores). The promotion completed successfully with the initial replication
    (it said).
    Here is the output of dcdiag:

    Although the machine joined the domain, it is listed with the appropriate records and promoted. 
    Can anybody help me get a second DC for this domain running? It is kind of urgent... I tried demoting/promoting, reinstalling, I tried to do a non-authoritative restore, however, I don't have the appropriate registry key... I saw the various different posts
    on similar issues, please do not paste them as I read them and I was not able to solve this.
    Thank you in advance for any responses!
    Best regards,
    Irina

    Umar,
    Thank you big time for your time and help today. After we finished talking I tried the authoritative restore (vs non-authoritative the first time - didn't help) and then I started over (one more time) and created one more DC. Before promoting it I disabled
    the firewall and the user control in order to make sure nothing is stopping it. I also triple checked the time. I promoted it without the DNS server and Global Catalog functions. I faced the same wall. After the promotion the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares were
    still not there. 
    After hours of more reading I finally found this:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/58b8cdc3-a990-46c7-a70e-a51fd6965537/sysvol-and-netlogon-shares-missing-from-new-domain-controllers-using-dfrs?forum=windowsserverpreview
    and it saved me. So I followed this guy's steps and my system shares showed up on both new DCs. Then I had to wait one more hour for everything to get in sync and after that I successfully shut down my main DC and the other two took over. 
    Thank you again for the help!
    Best regards,
    Irina

  • Difference between Share Permissions and Security NTFS Folder Permissions

    What is the main difference between share and security in
    1. 2003 server and above:
    2. How in Organisations share data folder for users
    AS per me i Have following conclusion 
    1.
    Yes - Always open up Share permissions to Everyone-Full and the ACL (apply permissions) to the actual data
    folders (must be NTFS). With NT4 and W2000 you can leave the Share permissions at default when you create them and just ACL the NTFS data structures.
    With W2003, the default Share permission is locked down to Read, and as Share permissions over-ride NTFS permissions,
    even if you have Write access in the data folders, accessing via the Share will restrict to Read-Only, so you must open up the Share permissions on all new W2003 Shares that you create.
    2.
    Yes you can. Share the top level directory of your data. Open up the Share permissions to Everyone - Full,
    and then ACL the sub-folders appropriately for you different user access requirements. Don't permission (ACL) any data with 'Everyone' always use Groups (or users if you must...e.g. Home Directories), and at minimum for 'public' data use 'Authenticated Users'.
    Users will all be able to access the share, but only access folders and data that you allow via the NTFS permissions (ACLs).
    The only other way is to create separate shares for each different access requirement - a pain and none too
    flexible. Also if with W2K3 you leave the default Share permission (Read), even though you grant 'Write' NTFS permissions on the data, your users won't be able to write new data or make changes if they access via the Share, as Share permissions over-ride the
    NTFS permissions.
    If You have any other options so please suggest me or otherwise mark it as Answer 

    Sounds good. :)
