Hi all,
I would like to monitor AD-lookup requests coming from member servers in the domain.
We have a windows 2008 DC and a windows 2003 server. The Win2k3 server is running an ASP.net application.
From time-to time, this application server queries the AD for user information.
I am interested in monitoring what requests are coming into the DC.
to be more specific, I am looking for something like SQLServer profiler tool.
Can this information be written to event log on the server? are there any options that I can configure to enable logging on the server?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Kalyan

A previous client of mine who's setup I did suffered some sort of virus issue.
Long story short, many of the more System32 variety files are now in quarantine. We're talking in excess of 40,000 files. Restoring these files to said locations should be a simple issue, but in many cases, trying to right click restore said file opens up a browser window and asks to specify the location to return them. The obvious response is how the hell should I know?!
My initial response to the IT guy there is that they should try and restore but the intelligent so and so needed the external HDDs (yes, 2 of them) for something so there are no restore points. Fantastiche.
Googling about, it seems that you cannot do so directly like with older versions of Windows.
Ideas? Suggestions?
The nuclear solution of starting clean is not really preferred.

Maybe the anti-virus supplier has way. Talk to them...

Hey guys,
If we restart the server in the night, there is nobody to login. Connect to the database is no problem. But we have to start several jobs on the server.
is there a property to start SQL jobs from a server without login?

Have you tried the "Task Scheduler". You find it under Accessories/System Tools.
If you prefer the CLI, you can try the AT command.

Yes sure, but they wouldn't start or rather, they wouldn't be used cause the jobs run on the SQL Server...

How about this[^] then?

Yes sure, we already use this 
If no user logged in the jobs wouldn't start...
Think so... start your pc and you would not login, but updates run in the background.
We have SQL jobs, which run at 7:00 AM but the server was restartet at 6:00 AM an nobody is there to login to the server with the adminuser.
Connect to the servers database already works.

If the Scheduled Jobs are setup properly, using an account that the job knows about (username/password), noone has to login to the machine at all. The Agent service will run the job as the user that's supplied. No interactive login required on your part.
|

Scheduled Jobs from the Server or SQL?
the server jobs already use this...
|
|
|
|
|
SQL Server has it's own scheduled tasks ability.
|
|
|
|
|
 yes I know... WE ALREADY USE IT!!!
but where can we set the login property there?
the >>SQL JOBS<< wouldn't run without a logged in user.
|

Go to "Administrative Tools / Services"
Rightclick "SQL Server Agent" and select Properties.
In the "General" tab, make sure the startup type is "Automatic".
In the "Log On" tab you put in the correct credentials for a user with the correct permissions.

Yeah, but you weren't too clear on that.
SQL Server Management Studio -> SQL Server Agent -> Edit the job -> the Run As drop down. Also, under the General tab, you get to enter the creds of a user.

I have a Server running Windows Server 2003 and Terminal Services.
I have several users on remote sites that connect to the server with RDP.
What I would like to do, is on a successful logon to the server, depending on who they are logon to other servers.
I have no problem identifying the user, but would like to logon to the other serveral from a batch file. Is there a command I can?
ThanksSteve Jowett

Are the servers in different domains?
If not, you only need to set the access rights.
Otherwise you set up trusts between the domains and you still only need to set up the access rights."When did ignorance become a point of view" - Dilbert

Thanks for the help.
You was right, the code was fine it was me at fault. I was referencing the wrong DataView control on the page.
AAAaaaaarrrrrhhhhhh !!!!!

I am a one-man development team.
For years I have been using VSS for source control. Despite its shortcomings it has served me very well. I work using several PCs in various locations around the world. I have VSS server installed on a single workstation (with its 'database' on a file server). When I'm not connected to the local network I use a VPN to connect. It's not good but it works.
I am beginning to think it's time I moved to VSTS, or at least TFS but I don't really know the first thing about the requirements and benefits. I assume I would need to install it (whatever 'it' is) on an Internet-accessible server. I have trawled the MS web site and there's an immense amount of information but it seems mostly to be written in BS and I just don't have time (or patience) to plough through it all.
Please can someone point me to something that will tell me the essentials about deciding what I need to install and how to set it up and manage my migration.
Cost is not an issue since it comes with my MSDN subscription.
[Edit] I would use the 2010 version of whatever ... [/Edit]Phil

http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2009/10/01/tfs-2010-for-sourcesafe-users.aspx[^] does a good job of explaining the basics. Don't install any of the sharepoint stuff.
I did all that, but I still think it's too big for a one man team.
If you VPN'ed in before, you can still VPN in to your server.
I must say that I'm not using it anymore, since TFS2010 does not connect with VS2008 (at least not Beta 2, haven't looked at anything more recent).
Instead, since MS announced that VSS was about to get the chop (not a bad thing), I've switched to subversion (on Linux  ) which offers integration with ALL versions of VS, has file system integration on ALL platforms, and offers plug-ins for most IDE's (TFS plug-ins usually come with a price tag). I've even dropped the VPN connection with subversion, as I find that security is sufficient when using ssh or https on the big bad Net. There's even some free code to migrate from VSS, keeping history (almost) intact.

Thanks for that really useful information!
If the final version of TFS 2010 won't play with VS2008 and VS2005 it's no use to me. I still need to support lots of code with VS2005 until I get time to migrate properly.
I won't be running anything on Linux any time soon (at least not until I'm 127 or older).
[Edit]I just read in the blog that TFS doesn't support sharing!! That's a major issue for me. I think I'll be staying with VSS for a while longer ... [/Edit]Phil

Are there any good resources to CertUtil?
My specific problem is trying to import a .pfx into 'Trusted People'
The following command line puts it into 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities'
certutil -p "" -Importpfx "C:\Program Files\TEST\name.pfx"
Passing any other parameters causes an error.
Any ideas or resources??
Thanks!ed

Why don't you just double-click the .PFK and import it using the Wizard? You can pick the target store you want to install the certificate to in there. That's IF the certificate is appropriate for that store. You can't just throw any certificate you want in any store you want.
