How can I not allow computers join to my domain in company if they have not existing account in AD?
I think about Group Policy but I did'nt find how to do this.
There is any a better way to do it?
I am using Windows Server 2016
When a computer is joined to the domain, Windows will prompt you to provide user credentials for the domain to create the computer object.
The only way to stop it is if the user does not have permissions to create computer objects on the domain. By default, any user can.
So I think the better way to go about it is to restrict who can create computer objects on a domain. This article describes how to do that: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dubaisec/2016/02/01/who-can-add-workstation-to-the-domain/

so I have Windows Server 2012 which is running on my virtual machine. I want to have possibility to make anonymous query against LDAP. For example if I'm using software like Softerra LDAP Browser I need to run this program as domain user to be able browse AD groups/users etc. But my point is that I want to be able to do it also as non-domain user(anonymous), or at least using domain user credentials from machine that is not part of the domain.
I was looking for this option in user/group policies, I've grant my user with all privileges that I found - but always with the same result - I was unable to browse LDAP.
So my question is - what have to bet set/changed to be able make anonymous queries against Windows Server LDAP?
I don't know about anonymous queries, but you said that you would also be happy using a domain user from a non-domain machine.
That should work fine. Create a domain user with sufficient privileges to see what you want.
Install a certificate on your LDAP server (or use Kerberos, but that's more annoying on the non-domain machine).
Then do LDAP authentication using the username and password of that domain user.
It works well.
I had a windows 7 enterprise client joining in my Active Directory. I found I can not start the iscsi initiator app when I login as a domain user. I also found the Microsft iSCSI Initiator Service is manual, and gray in my services. I can not start, stop, or modify the services.
So, I think this maybe a problem with AD, how can I found the solution?
BTW, my account login in to win7 is domain user in Administrators group.
Thanks.
I solved this problem. Because in default, domain account are not local administrators, just add them to local administrators group in domain policy will solve this.
Our developers have recently built a new internal 'image viewer' application for our staff to use. The image viewer runs as a website and uses Active Directory to authenticate the user and control what type of images that user is allowed to view.
I have this setup and working fine by running the website as an impersonated domain user. The problem I now face is that all the images are held on a non-domain share. How can I access this share using the domain user? The share is on a Novell Netware 6.5 server.
Alternatively I can run the website as a non-domain user and connect to the Netware server to retrieve the images, but then I am unable to query Active Directory.
Can I allow a non-domain user access to query AD? I don't wish to allow anonymous queries on my domain controllers.
No, a non-domain user cannot query Active Directory unless you configure your domain to allow anonymous queries.
Depending on how everything is setup in the web application, you may be able to insert some code to switch security contexts and impersonate a domain user at the point where the query happens.
My question is pretty much summed up in the subject.The context is a problem we are facing with the account getting locked our fairly often.
My setup uses this as the service acccount for clearcase application.
There is another account by the same name (but in a different domain - a trusted domain) that runs a monitoring sofftware under this account. For eg., my setup uses the accoundt DOMAINA/clearcase_albd, while this other trusted domain runs a batch file under TRUSTEDDOMAIN/clearcase_albd.
We are suspecting this account to be causing the locking out of our service account (but at this point have not yet figured out why!)
Have pored over event logs endlessly, to no avail and have now decided to start fresh from ground zero.Am following a thread of thought and the first thing I need confirmation on is this:
Should I be seeing DOMAINA/clearcase_albd account when i run clearlicense at all?
If not, then why would another account by SAME name but from a different domain lock out my domain account?
Would greatly appreciate any help in this regard,
Thanks in advance
According to the IBM ClearCase Manual, the Rational® ClearCase® albd_server program runs with the identity of a special user account known as the Rational ClearCase server process user.
This user is a member of the Rational ClearCase administrators group, which grants privileged user status.
That account should not directly uses a license, as it is related to the albd (Atria Location Broker) process which will execute operation on behalf other users.
When a client program needs access to a service (a VOB or view server, for example) on a Rational ClearCase server host, it uses a remote procedure call (RPC) to send a request to the albd_server process on that host.
The albd_server starts the requested service if it is not already started, and provides the service’s port number to the client. Thereafter, the client communicates directly with the service.
IBM does suggest two albd accounts, for central VOB/view servers and end-user workstations. This is primarily done to prevent albd account issues (account lockouts, etc) on the albd account from impacting the VOB servers themselves.
BUT: those accounts should be on the same domain.
Note: by typing
creds clearcase_albd
You will see its SID for the current Windows domain.
You will then be able to check if that SID pops up in the clearlicense command output.
I am currently trying to access a network share from my machine programaticaly using vc++ 6.0. I am using WNetAddConnection2 to connect to a share using my credentials.
I am facing the following problem:
Consider the case when there are 2 users trying to access the same remote share from same machine one after the other. Now once a user logins, the other user is not able to login into the share using his credentials until the 1st user logouts.
Also if the 1st user logs onto the remote-machine's root share, then the other user is not able to access anyother share on that machine.
Please let me know if there is any workaround for the same.
Thanks in advance
The answer depends on if the 1st user still needs access. If they don't, then call WNetCancelConnection2(). If they do, Keith Brown in his "Programming Windows Security" book has a trick of calling LogonUser() to establish a new logon session, which creates a new SMB "port" to avoid the conflict. After impersonation, your thread will be able to connect using different credentials.
