I ran net localgroup Administrators, only the local administrator is present in the list.

I have imaged 30 HP BL20 blade servers with the same Windows Server 2003 image utilizing Altiris Rapid Deployment. Prior to joining these servers to the domain, I ran the SIDGEN utility which is built in to the Blade systems. After running the SIDGEN utility I set up my domain controllers and...

The real issue I'm having is that on (1) server, I attempt to add Domain Admins to the Local Admins, built-in group. When I click "Apply", it states that "Domain Admins is already a member of group Admins. However, it does not appear in the local admins list. I have already regenerated the SID...

ADCFAQ, That's a great article for migrating from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003, however I'm moving a Windows 2003 Forest to new hardware. A bit different, so some of the registry changes referenced in this article apply specifically to 2000. Do you know if there are any articles specific to...

I have been tasked with moving my Active Directory Forest to new servers, from Dell PowerEdge to HP Proliant Blades. I need to keep the Forest and Domain names the same. The forest contains over 500,000 users and well over a million objects. I considered creating the domain from scratch, but...

I've been researching a solution for this migration for a while and I figured I'd open it up to the forum to see if any of you had been through this before. I'm in the process of moving an Active Directory Forest consisting of 20+ servers, 1 domain, 2 subnets (front end public dmz, back end...

I notice heavy memory utilization on one of my DC's. Average of 40 page faults/sec, but only 0.4 pages/sec. Processor, about 540 interrupts/sec is the only thing that stands out. The servers have 2.5GHz processors and 3.75GB of RAM.

EventID.Net did pop up in one of my searches, the site only gives you minimal information unless you pay a fee. If you are a member and want to run a search that would be great. I transferred the PDC Emulator roles one of my other DC's that doesn't see too much action and this has decreased...
