We want to set up a new domain controller for a new domain
and create a new domain tree in an esisting forest. when we run DCPROMO on
the new server we get an error stating that we need to run Adprep for both
forrest and domain.

I'm a little confused on the difference between the two different types of
AD restores. If an object in AD got deleted, and i need to restore it, what
type of restore should i chose? and if a need to restore an entire DC
because of a hardware failure then what restore type do i ...

When I type "net time" at the command line it always reports the time at a
specific DC (that doesn't even have any FSMO roles) rgardless of site or
anything else.
This happens for everyone across the world. Why? My DCs are all time servers

I'm trying to use dsquery command to fetch inactive computers in my domain.
Initally it said the command is not supported as the domain controllers was
not running native mode. I changed the domain and forest to windows 2003
functional levle. But after the command runs but does ...

In our AD domain I am able to bind to AD with a user that is a member of the
domain user group and view the AD directory. We also have ADAM installed and
the same thing is happening. How or what permissions are necessary to prevent

I have a fairly simple network with a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit domain
controller.  It is the only DC.  There are 2 other member servers and
about 60 XP and Vista client systems.  Exchange is not in the mix, but
there are several databases in the mix, some on MS SQL, however, for

One of our customers using our Java based Fleet Management applications,
wants us to integrate our authentication mechanism into their SSO system
running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory infrastructure. We
have no prior experience with AD and thus don't have a ...

Here's the error I'm getting:
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)"

We've got some event IDs 5722 in our DCs. I've read the article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810977/en-us/, and understood everything.
But it seems that if a computer desktop was locked at the right moment that
its account is renewed (the computer account), it can't be ...

I have a little, but complicated problem.
I am using GPO for redirecting "My Documents" on WXP Laptops.
But I want the users to be able to use their laptops outside our domain
network, so I have a logoff script that is removing all network stations.

I can´t seem to change the behaviour of a gpo which doesn´t use the "Apply
once and do not reapply" option.
I created a gpo a while ago with that option unchecked. Now, however, I want
that gpo to use the "Apply once and do not reapply" option. I check that box

We would like to create a one-way shortcut trust relationship between
two child domains of the same forest.
Do you know which ports I have to open ?
Do you know if those ports have to be opened only during the creation

We recently added a  DC in one of our branch offices, now all the NTDS links
have been automatically populated with the NTDS link for the branch office,
and not the head office. Why did they move, and how do I get them back to my
main office. Are there any downsides to manual ...
