Unable to set the password in Active Directory 2008 R2 group policy

We are trying to create a group policy that renames the built-in to our servers administrator account and change the password.  The strange thing is that when we create this Group Policy Computer Configuration > preferences > Control Panel Settings > local users and groups, the password section is grayed out.  We have a test domain, and this isn't a problem here.

We tried to set the password with different accounts (domain administrator and other members of the Domain Admins group) and different machines (directly on my workstation and domain controller).  Here is a screenshot of what we see.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found the cause in MS14-025.

  • Unable to update the password on Active Directory

    Hello

While operations are performed smoothly, for a limited number of users, we have a problem to update their password on Active Directory. Whenever users update their password on IOM, their password on Active Directory update fails with the following exception on the Active Directory Connector server. What could be the possible reasons?

  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You must make a password reset disk before that there are problems with a password, not afterwards.

  • Provisioning of password in Active Directory and TCP ports

    Hello

    -I want available to users and their passwords in Active Directory
    -J' need to declare precisely what TCP ports that I use to have open in the FW:
    -TCP port if an IDM and the gateway (or server connector): 9278 (or 8759)
    -some ports between gateway and AD.

    Can someone tell me what ports I need between catwalk and IDM? I tried 389 and 636, but this is obviously not sufficient...

    Thank you.

    OK, let me tell you how it works then ;-)

    -I am speaking here of the AD adapter only, and not the connector (I'll dig this one later)
    -In the resource configuration page, you can choose the type of encryption: none, SSL, or Kerberos.

    -None:
    everything is done on the LDAP port (389) except password management which is done on port TCP 445 (Microsoft proprietary protocol)
    If 445 is blocked, no password provisioning is done and you will see the bridge trying to reach the ad on this port try ICMP (ping), then give up.

    -SSL:
    everything is done on LDAP 636. Everything.
    Why it does not work at first on my environment:
    -a been configured correctly AD? Yep: private key in the local computer AD certificate store, CA in the trusted CA on the local computer data store
    -have I forgotten to configure something on the side of the door? No, CA has been properly placed in the trusted CA on the local computer store
    -the fact that I made typo somewhere? Nope.
    -What I forgot, it is to restart the gateway service after having put the certificate in the trusted CA data store. And given that the computer does not restart for more than a month, the gateway service was not properly SSL-protocol of communication with AD...

    -Kerberos:
    I do not tried this mode. (I wanted the standard LDAP bind for some reason)

    now I can start growing hair again...

    I won't read the note at the moment but would surely say they told you to check the destination where the files are current. Did you do that? Raise a SR with OSS, to get their approval before doing something like what you try. Its you only who would face consequences, good or bad, no one else so better take a safe approach and the first approval of OSS.

  • How can I set the password for iPad 2 Air to something else than "immediately"?

    I have three iPad, iPad 2, iPad 2 Air and tha iPad Pro.

    My iPad 2 Air gives me the option to "set the password immediately".

    the other two iPads give options, for example, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

    All three iPads running the latest IOS.

    is this a glitch with my iPad 2 Air or are they all like that?

    Why the 'immediately' is the only option? It looks like the other options are missing.

    Thank you.

  • HP Envy 7640: Unable to set the scanning resolution

    Have been unable to set the resolution of scan during the scanning of the glass in a computer file (pdf, jpg). Guide the user to the HP page 47 7640 said: "● If you want to adjust the size of the scan, output type, scan resolution, or file type and so on, start scan from the software of the printer."
    ● To avoid all scanned text wrong or missing, make sure that the brightness is set properly the
    software.
    ● If you want to scan a document with several pages in a single file instead of several files, run it
    Scanner with the software of the printer instead of the sweep of the screen of the printer".

    First of all, where is the "printer software" to start the scan?

    Have tried all this. When I opened the series HP Envy 7640 (network): Assistant of HP printer, I click on "Scan the Document or Photo a" place in the scanning area. No scan dialog box never opens. Actually I tried to reinstall the printer driver. No change. Always impossible to get a scan dialog box. In addition, when I go in the start menu and the title of the series 7600 HP: HP envy, I click on the HP Scan icon. After a long wait, a dialog box appears that says: "Cannot communicate with Scanner", and it offers a few options. The first is to activate the device (printer), and then on; the second, control cables (its wireless operation); the third: try the software "fix." Happy to report that after stopping then on and running assistant printer again, this time by pressing the "scan a Photo Document' results in the appearance of a dialog box to make the changes that I've been looking for.

  • Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

    Hello

    I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

    BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

    Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

    Hi, ctenorman

    I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes
