Re: Please help refresh my memory on AD DC

Hello Joe,

From the features install the Group policy management console and aslo have
a look on the RSAT tools there. Remote server administration tools is the successor for administrative tools.

Hello Meinolf,

In Server 2008 where do you change the local security policies for all
Servers.
After I joined the servers they all have the same setin as password
expiration and password complexity. I know where to change this on the
local
machine but how do you change it on the DC for all. Or is this not
what is
happenning?
Thank you

Hello Joe,

In Administrative tools, you have a lot of management consoles. Also
that one for IIS.

On the server where the folder is located that you like to share you
have to open the folder properties, choose the sharing tab and do
your settings. Only AD is not enough to share a folder.

Hello Meinolf,

Ok I did post in the IIS newsgroups and in IIS.Net a few days back.
I haven't received and answer in this part yet.

In between my last post I logged into IIS MC from the DC I just used
the MMC console Not the ADUC as I thought you would.

I created the folder share just from the ADUC and I didn't do
anything else.

Where would I go from here Locally at that server or on the DC?

Thank you

Hello Meinolf,

I do thank you for hanging in there for me.

I wanted to add the servers to a Domain Controller for central
mangement and easier file sharing. Plus a few applications that
require it.

Use the Administrative tools on the DC.

I problem that I am running into is the management of file folders
and IIS.

You say RDP intothe server and then make the changes in IS MMC. Ok
that is fine because that is what I have been doing all this time.
The question is when I RDP in who am I loggin in as ?

I meant to connect from the DC's administrative tools to the IIS.
It's also possible. But as said before, i am not IIS specialist.
Alos in a domain you should use the domain accounts, local accounts
will have no effect to configure for domain needs.

If I login as a local adminstrator I cannot set permissions on a
folder in IIS MMC because when select a user (and that user is
IUSR_MACHINAME or NETWORK SERVICE for ASP.NET) I get promted to
the Domain Credentials. Is this correct?

If the server is domain member and the accounts also from the
domain, yes.

Do I no longer use the diabled Red Arrowed Users? Do I select only
the
ones that begin with Domain..?
Domain Users
Domain Administrators
etc...
If so, now, Which one is the anonymous account? Is it still
IUSR_MACHINENAME Because I don't see it available in a non red
arrow.
Plus existing sites already have this as the anonymous user
(IUSR_MACHINENAME)
Because you installed the IIS before creating the domain you will
not have the IIS accounts on the users container in AD users and
computer i assume. I don't know enough about IIS and how to make
also the IIS available for the complete domain access. Maybe you
can export the complete IIS and then import this to a fresh
installed IIS with complete domain setup. But again Ask this in an
IIS NG. There are your experts.

I must say that this is confusing. I am going to post some images
on a Community Server Forum would you please look at them?

Second Question:

I logged on to the DC pysically standing at the machine.
I created a file share on a remote member server through the
Active
Dir
Users and Computers.
I selected Everyone as read only. I then finished and went over to
my
laptop
and logged in locally
I can see the share but not access it. Is this correct?
Did you only create the shared folder with ADUC or did you also
share it on the server itself via the sharing tab on the folder
properties? What share permissions did you configure and what NTFS
permissions on the folder. These both are different from the
permissions tab ion ADUC, that let as default.

Thanks again Meinolf

Hello Joe,

I can not really follow, what you are trying to achive. If you
like to set folder/file permissions on a remote server
harddisk/volume you should map a drive or connect to the server
with RDP. If you like to configure the IIS, you should use the
"Internet Services Manager" from the Administrative tools and
connect to the server which holds the IIS.

Hello Meinolf,

Then how do I go about editing/configuring permissions on
folder?

There is no IIS MMC in the DC management. Do notever
logonlocally
again?
Do I just logon the DC and go to Active Directoy Users and
Computers
Right

Click the PC and select manage. When I do that I do not get an
IIS
MMC
I get
most of the others. I can do disk management, SQL, event Viewer,
I
can
add
and modify users.
I see all that and understand it. But when it comes to adding a
user
for a folder also
How to manage installed programs is this done locally?
Thank you

Hello Joe,

As said before:
"On domain controllers the local users and groups are disabled
because the
domain controller has it's own Security database and is not
having
the local
SAM."
That's the reason for the red one.

Hello Meinolf,

You are correct. I can administer the server from the DC but I
cannot set permissions on the IIS or local box. I had to login
to do so. This was my entire concern. Why the red arrows?

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Hello Joe,

What folder are you talking about? Looks like you are in
computer management and have connected to a domain controller
form the member server. On domain controllers the local users
and groups are disabled because the domain controller has
it's own Security database and is not having the local SAM.

Hello Jorge,

Yes I did thanks. I succeccfully added all servers to the
domain.
I just had one question left over after soing so.
When I logged in locally on one of the 2003 boxes I wanted
to
make
a
permissions change on a folder an I was asked to enter the
domain
credentials
again.
I did so with the domain admin credentials and I saw red
arrows
next
to the groups and accounts icons
What is that and why was I asked to login again to make this
change?
Thanks Joe

Hi Jorge!

Thanks for jumping in. No this is a Standard Box not a
SBS.
Never saw a DC promo go like this one. That is why I
posted
and
of
corse
my
short time with using one.
Thanks so much!!

Hello,

I am currently using a workgroup infrastructure with 9
servers
and
I am
in
need of changinf it to a AD DC Domain infrastrucrture.
However
I
am a
little
rusty in some areas. I have 4 Server 2003 Enterprise
machines
and
4
Server
2008 Standard machines. One Linux but that doesn't
matter.
1. When I created the domain I used the same name as the
server
and
this
caused the installation wizard to change the NetBIOS
name
from
