Remove Active Directory in Directory Services Restore Mode

Comments Off

Posted on 14th April 2010 by admin in Active Directory

Sometimes your Active directory database gets corrupt and you may not be able to get inside a domain controller in normal mode. You may get following error before logon “Just before Log on screen should appear I get a error message thats something like this: “…Directory Services cannot start… Please click OK to shutdown the system and reboot into the Directory Services Restore Mode”

If you have  a backup you can restore DB from backup, but what if you don’t have a backup?? In case of single domain controller you can not do anything, it’s all gone. But if you have another DC which is having a good copy of AD and is running fine, you can try this:

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

Important Follow these steps only as a last resort if the domain controller cannot start in normal mode.

To remove Active Directory from a domain controller, follow these steps:

  1. Restart the computer, and then press F8 to display the Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu.
  2. Choose Directory Services Restore Mode, press ENTER, and then press ENTER again to continue restarting.
  3. Modify the ProductType entry in the registry. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions
    3. In the right-pane, double-click ProductType.
    4. Type ServerNT in the Value data box, and then click OK.

      Note If this value is not set correctly or is misspelled, you may receive the following error message:

      System Process – License Violation: The system has detected tampering with your registered product type. This is a violation of your software license. Tampering with product type is not permitted.
    5. Quit Registry Editor.
  4. Restart the computer.
  5. Log on with the administrator account and password that is used for Directory Service Repair mode.

    The computer will behave as a member server. However, there are still some remaining files and registry entries on the computer that are associated with the domain controller.

  6. Start Registry Editor and locate the following registry entry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters

    If there is an entry for Src Root Domain Srv, right-click the value and then click Delete. This value must be deleted so that the domain controller sees itself as the only domain controller in the domain after promotion.

    Important The above step is critical. Without it the re-promotion into the temporary AD forest will not complete and you will not be able to log on to the domain controller.

  7. Remove the remaining files and registry entries. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Start the Active Directory Installation Wizard.
    2. Install Active Directory to make the computer a domain controller for a new, temporary domain, such as “psstemp.deleteme.”

      Note Make sure that you make the computer a domain controller in a different forest.

    3. After you install Active Directory, start the Active Directory Installation Wizard again, and then remove Active Directory from the domain controller.
  8. After you remove Active Directory from a domain controller, remove metadata that is left in the domain. For more information about how to remove this metadata, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    216498 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498/ ) How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain controller demotion

Microsoft Windows 7 for Small Business and Home Users

Comments Off

Posted on 23rd December 2009 by ajodha in IT Support

Windows 7 is finally here and Microsoft intended it to be intuitive and simple to use and hopes to remedy past OS problems related to security, reliability and stability .  In an attempt to meet the needs of the many different types of computer users, Windows 7 will be released in six versions.

Versions of Windows 7

  • Starter- is for PCs with limited hardware capabilities (netbooks, lower end laptops and workstations).  Users are limited to using a maximum of three simultaneously running programs at a time.
  • Home Premium- offers enhanced Windows navigation, improved taskbars and jumplists, live thumbnail previews, Mobility Center for smart phone users, Aero Glass—a new way to view folders, enhancements to Windows Media Center and Media Streaming, and the ability to simultaneously run an unlimited number of applications.
  • Home Basic- is a scaled down version of Home Premium that is intended for the overseas market.  This version has been modified to run on PCs with smaller processers.
  • Professional- includes all the features of Home Premium as well as providing simple and secure server networking, advanced network backup, file and folder encryption, and location-aware printing to help your PC find the correct printer, regardless of location.
  • Enterprise- is similar to Professional but is intended for large corporate customers that are business volume-licensed. In addition to the features offered in Professional, it also includes enhanced security features such as Bitlocker data protection and advanced management capabilities.
  • Ultimate- provides home users all the features of the Enterprise version but doesn’t require a volume license.  Unfortunately, this version will have only limited availability through occasional promotional deals.

Exchange Distribution Groups do not receive external emails

Posted on 22nd December 2009 by ajodha in Exchange 2007 Public Folders

,

When you create a new distribution group within Exchange and try to send an email from an external address to this group, you will receive a error message which states that you must be authenticated to send to this group.

This is the default behavior of Exchange 2007 to avoid SPAM.

To change this behavior open the Exchange Management Console an navigate to the affected distribution group. Open the Settings for this group and switch to the tab “Mail Flow Settings“. On this tab mark “Message delivery restrictions” and select “Properties“.

In the new Window ensure that the checkbox “Require that all senders are authenticated” is not selected.

Openoffice as a service in windows

Comments Off

Posted on 17th December 2009 by admin in OpenOffice

1) Download and install openoffice

2) run openoffice once before installing it as a service

3) Download and install windows 2003 resource kit from microsoft website.

4) Create a service account and give it log on as a service rights ( i used openoffice as service account name)

4) Create a service named OpenOfficeUnoServer to do so run the following command

“C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Instsrv.exe” OpenOfficeUnoServer “C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Srvany.exe”

5) Go to services snap in and change the log on account with the account you created in step 4.

5)  Open registry and configure the values as shown in the screen shot shown below:

Create parameters key and make sure the values match as shown below. You have to create Application and AppParameters REG_SZ values.

Openoffice service parameter key

openoffice as a service registry settings

6) Start Service

7) Open command prompt and change directory to c:\program files\openoffice.org 3\program

Run the following command

soffice -accept=”socket,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager”

8) Run netstat -anp tcp

This should show a listening on port 8100.Chances are that the service will only listen on the 127.0.0.1 interface; this means you can only connect from the same machine and it’s good from a security point of view. However, if you want to be able to connect from other machines as well you need to change the accept string to "socket,host=0.0.0.0,port=8100;urp;" in the AppParameters registry value

New features of Exchange Server 2007.

Comments Off

Posted on 16th November 2009 by ajodha in Exchange 2007 SP1

Autodiscover A web service integrated with Exchange Server 2007 that facilitates

clients accessing their mailboxes. It is used to automatically set up accounts in

Outlook profiles. It is also used to determine which Client Access Server a remote

client should use based on where their mailbox server is located for optimal

performance.

• Availability Automatic load balancing of inbound and outbound connections

between Hub Transport Servers within an Active Directory site.

• Built on Active Directory The routing topology for Exchange Server 2007 servers

is based on the Active Directory site topology. It no longer requires the creation of

routing groups to control mail flow.

• Development A new set of web services to access mailbox content on Exchange

Mailbox Servers via HTML extends developers’ capabilities.

• Exchange Management Console Replacement tool for the Exchange System

Manager (ESM). The Exchange Management Console (EMC) is based on Microsoft

Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and combines all of the Exchange management

tasks into a single graphical interface. That means no more jumping between the

ESM and Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) to get Exchange

administrative tasks done.

• Exchange Management Shell A new command-line interface (CLI) from Microsoft

built on the PowerShell technology for advanced administrative tasks that cannot be

performed or automated in the Exchange Management Console.

• High availability for Mailbox servers Transaction Log Shipping is now available

for Mailbox Server roles in two flavors: Local Continuous Replication (LCR) and

Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR). Each creates a second copy of the production

database for rapid recovery scenarios. LCR stores the copy on the local server. CCR

stores the copy on another server. The Single Copy Cluster (SCC) is the latest

implementation for the traditional Exchange Microsoft Cluster Service.

• Message conversion The Hub Transport Server role has the ability to analyze the

formatting and encoding of messages and, based on the originator and recipient of

the message, make the necessary conversion to prevent formatting errors.

• Minimization of mail traffic Within an organization, least-hop routing is used to

determine the best path to a recipient’s mailbox. This has a greater potential of

reducing traffic than least-cost routing, which is subject to arbitrary administrative

constraints. Hub Transport Servers are responsible for determining the least-hop

route between Active Directory sites.

Performance improvements Exchange Server 2007 is a native 64-bit application.

Sixty-four-bit computing benefits are visible in the increased memory cache size,

increased number of storage groups, and increased number of information stores

per server.

• Recipient resolution It has always been possible to designate an expansion server

for a Distribution List. This is not as critical to do now that the Hub Transport

Servers are site-aware and will use the directory servers that are within the same

site for expanding distribution lists.

• Unified messaging For many years unified messaging has been available for

Exchange Server from third-party vendors. This technology, which integrates voice

messaging, faxing, and e-mail, has also been price-prohibitive for many small- and

medium-size businesses. By including unified messaging with Exchange Server

2007, all Exchange organizations can begin to take advantage of this powerful

productivity tool.
