I am currently re-organizing my Active Directory.

I am generating OU's for each department that has users, and the computers will substitute the OU's for each.

If I link a new computer to the domain, can I systematize a certain computer account and have it created in a specific OU?

And do I even have to do that?

I have two different offices and I like to separate the computers in each office and department.

Transferring the computer itself is an option but I want to avoid doing that as much as possible.

Any suggestions or opinions please?

Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to sync the User Information of Active Directory with OpenLDAP. Currently, I am looking for these:

a) All of the users added to Active Directory will automatically be added to OpenLDAP as well as all of the modified passwords. OpenLDAP will be used for System Authentication in Linux.

b) All of the users added to OpenLDAP will also be automatically added to Active Directory together with the credentials and modified passwords.

I have been exploring the internet on how I can do this but unfortunately I could not find any answers. Any kind of help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I was aiming to add a child server to an existing domain controller but I was encountering such error: The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner. What should I do about this one?

I like to set up my Zemos Communication System (ZCS) v.60.13, which is in Ubuntu 8.4, to validate it opposed to my list of Active Directory users using a separate Windows Server. I have understood how to configure it after I did some research in forums and in Zimbra Wiki. But I was wondering how Zimbra will create these mailboxes after I'm done with the configuration. Most of my users were set up to have a mailbox in Zimbra and Active Directory, and I want them to keep their existing mail. What will happen to these existing mailboxes if I set up an external validation with Active Directory? Will they be deleted or modified? Thanks for any information.

We will soon merge our company to another company and we are both using Active Directory 2003 domains.

As of now, since we are just about to merge with them, we want to know how can we conflate separate networks and merge it to make a single network.

What are the procedures for this?

Hi Experts,

What's is ADM and ADMX related to Active directory?

Can anyone explain what are these packs.

Thank you

I have invested a lot of my time in trying to build and rebuild a conductive environment to illustrate Microsoft business products.

I received this error prompt while trying to come up with an application service and power pivot proxy: “error.

login failed for user ‘NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON’.”

What could be the problem?

Error

Login failed for user NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON.

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation,

I am running Active Directory in Windows Server 2000. But for some reason, I am receiving error stating that my Active Directory login attempt failed. I have two subnet works running. It both runs with internal and external switch. And both my Active Directory and Exchange server runs on DC.

I already install SharePoint Server Portal on other web server under the external subnet work. I switch the option for making a second external subnet in DNS GUI. But after doing that, the Active Directory suddenly stopped working. So I switch back to the default setting hoping that it can fix the issue but the error is still there.

We have two domain controllers.  One is the 2003 Domain Controller which contains the entire 5 FSMO roles and the other is 2000 domain controller intended for the forest. 

I wanted to use Windows Server 2008 for the domain controller after accomplishing all the AD prep and others.  The main plan was to move down the 2000 domain controller following the setting up of the AD on 2008 system. 

Is it possible to set up a new Windows 2003 Domain Controller on a Windows 2000 Active Directory? I need to know on how to set up a new Windows Server 2003 R2 on a Windows 2003 AD DC. And what was the requisition on setting up an AD to a new server?
