Remove active directory

I have a client who has a small office (3 positions) with an old Windows 2 K Server.  It was installed years back to serve for the performance of an application that requires MS SQL server, etc..  At that time, it was also installed running active directory, dhcp, etc.

They no longer need the server as they now run their applications online.  In addition, it server hardware problems and will die at some point.  What I have to do, is remove the server and just run basic networking (working group) to the office so they can exchange a word document, or both.  Two of the machines will be updated with the OS so this isn't a problem but one is mobile owner using speech recognition, etc. and I would like to join the Working Group, without losing files in bulk the server and Active directory.

BTW - all the workstations in the Active directory are Win XP Pro

(1) what measures are necessary to accomplish the back out of the server?

(2) what they currently have their My Documents redirected to the server, but I'm sure it's just a matter of changing its properties.

(3) a router from internal network will resume the DHCP functions.

Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated and necessary because no one I talked to can help me in this endeavor.

  • remove an active directory domain controller that no longer starts

    I'm in the process or upgrading active directory from Windows 2003 to WIndows 2008.  There are between 20 and 30 of the domain controllers.  I'm about to halfway through the process and have had no problem.

    So far.  One of the Windows 2003 domain controllers has declined before the demotion.  It has been restarted and it won't start.  What can I do to remove this Active Directory server without starting the system?  Is there a clean solution to the withdrawal?

  • How to remove OracleContext of Active Directory

    All,

    We have extended our Windows 2003 Active Directory schema using the NetCA tool to test the integration of commercials with oracle 11 g. Completed trials, we are looking for a way to remove the schema extensions properly and remove OracleContext of Active Directory container. I was not able to find any documentation on this process. If anyone can help?

    You will probably want to consult Microsoft documentation.

    I found this:

    Removal of the schema information

    It is not possible to remove the schema object definitions. However, object definitions can be made unusable by the deactivation process. When an object definition is disabled, it is no longer can be used to create objects in the directory. Objects whose definitions have been disabled in the schema are designated as extirpated. >

  • Active Directory user profile question

    I have a weird problem.  I use two server Remote Office Server R2 2012 with roaming profiles.  If I create a new user profile in active directory all works fine.  I had a situation where I had to remove a user profile for cause of termination.  He was rehired after 3 days.  I created a new profile with the same username as before.  Now, when the user connects, they are logged in a temporary profile.  There is no .bak profile lists on with rds server.  Event files give a 1521 event ID Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is trying to connect you with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error can be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

    DETAIL - access is denied.

    and 1511 Windows cannot find the local profile and connects you with a temporary profile. Changes to this profile will be lost when you log out.

    I thank in advance for your suggestions.

  • How can I delete an Active Directory user on a computer

    Hi all

    Thank you in advance for the answers.

    I have a user Active Directory on a computer Windows 7 Pro that I want to delete on this computer, and then have him sign in again and re-create the profile / user. (I have problems with its current profile)

    I don't know what the best way to cleanly remove the AD user on the Windows 7 Pro computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Alex

    If the connection is an AD account, you can simply delete the profile from c:\users folder and then it will be re - initialize the whole profile when the user logs in.  This is where the the user registry hive is stored, so it also cleans the registry by deleting this folder.

  • DMVPN and active directory (logon)

    Hi all

    Darren,

    In general the prolem is due to Kerberos on UDP traffic.

    There are several ways you can solve the problem:

    (1) transition to Kerberos over TCP. (suggested)

    (2) setting the MSS on the interface of tunnel not on telephone transmitter (recommended)

    (3) allowing the PMTUD tunnel (strongly recommended).

  • Active Directory groups can be put into service in the FDMEE places?

    Hi experts FeeDMEE:

    We are upgrading to HFM/FDMEE 11.1.2.4.    We would like to use only the Active Directory groups for our security in Shared Services.

    I did a lot of audit looking at whether we can use security location FDMEE ad groups.  So far, the only way I found to make the security location uses the native approach (settings / security settings / security location...) Security by location, click on keep usergroup to set up groups).    But it doesn't seem to be an option if you create groups such as native or ad groups (FDMEE them creates only natively).

    Does anyone know if it is possible in FDMEE to use security of the location ad groups?

    Thank you
    Mark Smith

    I discovered that it is more possible for FDMEE create Aboriginal groups for the security of the location.

    However, Active Directory groups can be added as members of indigenous groups.   In this way, users should only be added to Active Directory groups.    The only maintenance is to add or remove groups active directory to or from the indigenous groups of FDMEE.

    While deploying the instance OpenStack de VIO, I get the following error message when checking the parameters of authentication source:

    Cannot find the specified user (Group). Details: The LDAP search request failed. Further reference

    This seems to be a problem, I met several times, where AD would send a reference instead of the response that the client must follow. But I don't see any option to allow removal with Active Directory. Is there a way around this?

    Concerning

    Gerald

    I found a work around for the problem:

    The query is successful when you use the ports for the Active Directory Global catalog.

    The ports are:

    • 3268 (without encryption)

    or

    • 3269 (with SSL)

    Disadvantage: You can't just use your do domain name address all the domain controller, you must specify one with its host name.

  • vCAC 6.0.1 ASD Active Directory Endpoint

    I am creating and Active Directory endpoint in the 6.0.1 vCAC designer of advanced Service that uses SSL.  I am able to configure endpoint on port 389 or 3268 with success, but when I try to connect using 636 or 3269 it fails with an error wonderfully misspelled...

    Failed to create endpoint type AD vCO. Reason: Error: retriving server certificate. (Workflow: manage SSL certificates / certificates of the URL (item0) #6)


    It's not really doesn't tell me much.  I can say that it is having a problem for a reason, get the certificate of the server, but what prevents it from working?  I have a vCO connected to the same domain controller using SSL with no problems, although I import the certificate in vCO and restart the system before creating the connection AD it.  I had a colleague to look at the workflow vCO and noticed that the Manage "Workflow" certificates for the AD ASD Endpoint and he noticed an error undefined ADCertificateUtil().  This is a VMware built class which should be part of the AD Plugin in vCO.


    This led me to try and load a previous version of the AD Plugin in vCO, but I quickly discovered that no other version of the plugin AD that comes with the 5.5.1 unit will operate.  So I demoted vCO to 5.1.2 to give a try.  I loaded the version 1.0.3 plugin that has the class in the structure of the plugin files, but then discovered that no end point appear in the drop-down list in the DSA in vCAC 6.0.1.  GREAT!  So, I try to use vCO device version 5.5.0 which I remembered did not ship with a version of the plugin and then tried to download the AD Plugin once again, that worked.  Once I connect vCAC to this instance of vCO, I at least see Active Directory as an option.  I start working on it and I get the same wonderful error as described above.  Still digging into the workflow also shows the same of undefined ADCertificateUtil().


    I'm about to options for what I know to try and wish assistance.  The main reason for working through this problem is so I'm able to move from a field of AD password for password resets and the new creation of the user of a Service of Onboarding in vCAC.  Can someone help me with this?  I think I tried everything my mind can come with and now chosen to harass the communities for answers.  Thanks in advance.

    vCAC provides it's own series of workflow for configuring plugins different vCO. The workflow is a modified version of the original workflows plugin configuration. In this case, it seems that the workflow that ASD matters in the vCO and is trying to use for the configuration of the AD is an older version, the vCO is a more recent version of the plugin AD, where it seems that ADCertificateUtil has been removed in favor of the workflow of the library "import a certificate from URL". This is why it fails vCAC and it will also fail of the vCO.

    If it's OK for you, I would say to set up the Active Directory end point through vCO. If this isn't the case, then you can try to redirect the workflow that is used for the configuration of the parameters of AD. The configuration is a file that is located in ' / etc/vcac/vco-endpoints-workflows.xml '. You must change the endpoint "ad" to point to a workflow can configure an Active Directory server. You can try to configure create and update the workflow to point to the workflow rescue (the default configuration workflow that comes with the plugin AD) or create your own workflow and point to him. This however requires a restart of the 'advanced-designer-service' to pick up the new settings.
