this second time seeing no real explanation. saw @ 2 different sites universal group with exactly the same in same forest/domain. logical tells me not suppose work right? @ group less amount of members , move members on 1 contains bulk of members , delete group. checked frs, application , system logs cannot find in it. dcdiag file replication check not complain anything. do see both groups when connected same domain controller? attributes of group are matching? hth marcin Windows Server  >  Directory Services

How to Deploy LOCAL Group Policy changes via DOMAIN Group Policy

the ultimate task:  create windows 7 kiosk scenario: 1. mobile computers on domain. 2. domain accounts blocked logging in domain gpo 3. windows 7 pro setup auto-logon using local user account windows registry editor version 5.00 [hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon] "autoadminlogon"="1" "defaultpassword"="xxx" "defaultusername"="xxx" 4. creating domain gpo (all user side entries) applies settings domain user accounts only. 5. applying same settings local group policy has desired effect of applying local user accounts. local computer policy .> computer configuration ..> administrative templates ...> system ....> logon       = hide entry points fast user switching         + enabled local computer policy .> user configuration ..> administrative templates ...> start menu , taskbar      = remove logoff on start menu

2008 server slows to a crawl when a second user logs in on the LAN.

i posted message below last week , thought received solution couple of netsh commands. had tested solution user on network. find time problem exists when second user logs in local network. simple routine updates files usually takes 1 second (as did on old 2003 server) if 1 user logged in. when second user, either locally or remotely logs on same routine takes 30 seconds. thirty times longer. when second user logs off rountine takes 3 seconds as single user. when user logs off , logs in routine normal 1 second. first post left out fact server 64 bit os , workstations 32 bit os. have exact same problem small network upgraded 64 bit windows 2008 sbs 4, 64 bit win 7 workstations. in advance ideas.. after many years of reliable service, our 2003 windows server computer failed. had built new windows 2008 server standard spk2, i7 cpu, 9 gigs ram, more powerful computer old server. use server host data files. small network, 3 workstations, win7 ultimate, vista, , xp box. gigabit ethe

How is write access to system only attributes enforced?

in researching changes our password policy, came across documentation on pwdlastset attribute. admin can set 0 or -1 regardless of tool use edit (powershell, adsi edit, etc.). out of curiosity, looked @ attributes of of attribute , didn't glean useful. how domain service know attributes enforce in fasion , how know valid values are? justin cervero - ms enterprise admin - appalachian state university this hardcoded in dsa (ntdsa.dll) contains list of allowed/disallowed modifications - attributes owned sam (security account manager) , listed in samsrv.dll - there nothing can changes those. enfo zipper christoffer andersson – principal advisor http://blogs.chrisse.se - directory services blog Windows Server  >  Directory Services
