Re: Folder security properties slow to resolve SID's to user ID names



In news:eGjYtZLkGHA.3572@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Microsoft Public Newsgroups <citpaj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I
commented on below:
We just recently did an in-place upgrade of our single NT4 Domain to a
single W2K3 AD Domain. Since that we've noticed that when we check
the security properties of a network folder from a client PC it takes
forever to resolve SID's to user ID's, particularly on folder with
many sub-folders beneath. Prior to the AD Domain this took less than
a minute, and now it takes up to ten minutes to completely resolve
every last SID. Can anyone give me some pointers on this? Thanks in
advance.

Since no configuration information was provided, it is difficult to diagnose
without guessing. We can go over a few things that can cause this, but it
would be beneficial to know your configuration (ipconfig, AD DNS domain
name, remote sites, multiple domains, etc).

First thing that comes to mind is a client side DNS configuration issue. I'm
sure that part of the upgrade plan you installed DNS (part of the dcpromo
process if you didn't do it manually) and are now only using your new domain
controller for the DNS address of ALL internal machines. If you are using an
ISP's, or mixing ISP's and the internal DNS, that can cause numerous issues
with AD communication.

The other thing that comes to mind is that when you upgraded to AD from NT4,
that an incorrect, or more specifically, a single label name AD DNS domain
name was chosen. An incorrect example of such is "DOMAIN", whereas a correct
choice would have been "domain.com", "domain.net", "domain.local", etc.

Another issue that can cause this (either in conjunction with the above
issues or as a stand alone issue) is the DC has multiple NICs. Multiple NICs
are not recommended with DCs. However there are steps to configure a DC in
such a configuration, albeit not recommended.

To better assist, if you can post an ipconfig /all (unedited please) of your
DC and of an example client machine, (along with anything else that may be
pertinent), it will give us a great start in providing a diagnosis.

Thanks,
