Active Directory Domain

How can I tell who has access to a server via an Active Directory Domain?
I am trying to see which users have access to log into a server. When a user logs into the server, they authenticate against our Active Directory domain. How can I tell who else has access to log into the server and has full access? This server is not the domain controller. All servers run Windows 2003.

There are different types of logins that can be done on Windows systems. You can login locally, via Terminal server, access the computer from the network, log on as a batch job, log on as a service, and some lesser seen and used ones. Depending on how they are logging on will depend on what will happen when they try. Let's first start with a definition. Domain User=a normal user, not in the administrative group or any other server roles such as "Server Manager," "Power Users," etc. Below are the default logon types for domain users 1) Cannot log on at the console (interactively) 2) Cannot log on via Terminal Services 3) Cannot act as part of the operating system 4) Cannot log on as a service 5) Cannot log on as a batch job 6) Can access the computer from the network I suggest you set your Audit Policy Settings to the table defined in this document so that you are auditing your login successes and failures so that you know for 100% certain who is actually logging into your server.

Can i interact with users on my active directory domain?
I as the admin can access all the computers on the network with remote desktop. But i would like to be able to interact with users desktops for training. can i log on to there desktop to help solve user questions on an active directory domain.

Citrix is another option also. It could also help with maintaining the network in a corporate network if you jsut have a few Citrix servers and have everyone use a client, then you worry only about the servers, not the desktops, and you can also set it to go back to the original cnfig after they log out just in case someone meeses it up. Citrix also provides shadowing. It would require a network overhaul, but always a useful option in a corporate environment.

How can we prevent users not on our Active Directory domain from connecting to the internet?
At our school, we provide students with internet access. We also allow them to bring in personal laptops, but have discovered that if they connect these computers into the wired network they can easily connect to the internet and bypassing our content filtration system. If the computers are joined to the domain, though, Group Policy takes over and routes the connection through the proxy server. Thanks!

one way to do this, would be to disable DHCP on the Server, and set up static IP address's (it would still be accessable, but not as easily) anther way would be to purchase a hardware firewall, where as you could specify exacty what computers connect to the Network... Last but not least try some MAC authentication, on what ever is doing your DHCP.

Is it possible to set up an active directory domain on a wireless router?
and/or what would i need to set one up?

No. An active directory domain requires a machine with plenty of disk storage and ram, neither of which is available on a router. You would need a Windows or Linux server.

How can start windows server 2003 quickly after installed Active Directory Domain Controler?


Don't know if you are trying to run with one server trying to do two jobs - i.e. be a file server and be the Domain Controler - it is possible - server will run like a dog. I am not sure what you are asking beyond that.

how do I setup a windows 98 system to get policies based on groups from an active directory domain?
I understand how to use poledit to create a group there, but that group has to match a group in Active Directory. I've tried to setup different types of security groups, global groups, etc, but haven't had any success. If I make changes to the default user then the policy is applied. I'm saving the config.pol to the netlogon directory on the server. I'm not talking about group policies like Win2000 and WinXP. I'm talking about using System Policy Editor (win9x and WinMe). I have used these types of policies on win9x systems before when the systems were connecting to a NetWare server. A group was created using System Policy Editor (poledit), The group name was it full distinguished name (eg. groupname.ou.o) and must match a group name in NDS. I'm now trying the same thing with Active Directory, but not having any success. We have about 20 Win98 systems that run our software just fine, but I want to lock them down.

If i'm not mistaken i don't believe you can push out policies to a 98 machine. AD requires at min. win2k machines to manage them

How can I join an Active Directory Domain with a XP Media Center Edition?
This option is probably disable by default. The "Network ID" Button under Sytem properties/ Computer name is grayed out...

It's not possible. Microsoft specifically disabled the ability to join a domain with Media Center Addition. Further, you can't even upgrade to XP Pro. You have to do a complete new install.
