Will I or won’t I be an MVP for another year?

by @ Thursday, July 17th, 2008. Filed under general

Well my MVP lead is already asking for the year’s accomplishments to determine if I have been helpful enough to receive the MVP designation another year. I have to say this is absolutely the earliest this has happened in the ummmm 6, 7, or 8 years that I have been an MVP. It usually happens […]

The problem with duplicate SPNs – alternate working title… KB321044++

by @ Thursday, July 17th, 2008. Filed under tech

A pretty common issue out there in the real world is an error of something like “There are multiple accounts with name XXX/YYYYYYYYYY of type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME” or maybe that last bit is “of type 10” floating about. The general guidance is to find the objects with the same SPNs and clean all but one of […]

The Forest, not the Domain is the security boundary in Windows Active Directory

by @ Thursday, July 17th, 2008. Filed under tech

I was recently pinged by a friend who had some consultants in at his company and the consultants I guess were going on about how the domain is the security boundary and it is perfectly safe/acceptable to have a bunch of child domains that are run by disparate groups of admins. THIS IS INCORRECT! It […]

Dotted Line Managers and Reports To in Active Directory and/or ADAM

by @ Saturday, July 12th, 2008. Filed under tech

Someone on ActiveDir Org (and actually the umich LDAP list) were asking about putting multivalued manager info into AD for dotted line reports. Active Directory’s manager attribute is single valued so this won’t work. You get one manager, have a nice day. 🙂 Well this someone wants MSFT to add this to their schema, it […]

Replication of lastLogonTimeStamp revisited

by @ Thursday, July 10th, 2008. Filed under tech

Back in May of last year I mentioned that Longhorn RODCs would have an issue with updating lastLogonTimeStamp. This was indeed the case at the time. I just wanted to revisit the topic and say that the DS team at MSFT realized that was a serious problem and put in some special functionality into Windows […]
