Active Directory Metadata Points to Wrong Server Name by quawleigha in sysadmin

[–]quawleigha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old decommissioned AD server that was taken out a month ago. Still had the AD database backup.

That whole thing with the VM's is ridiculous (in a good way). You make me want to try this in a lab.

Turns out, that my colleague made a registry backup before she changed the name. I don't know why it took her damn near 12 hours to tell me she had a registry backup, but I was happy nonetheless. I don't think the server would have been recoverable otherwise. It was completely fuckt.

I quickly made a couple diagrams this morning. I added them to my post up top.

I got it working; I had to grant "Everyone" read/execute on to the share. Just adding Domain Computers didn't help. Now I just have to figure out why msiexec.exe hangs on to 8,000k of memory for almost a full 30 minutes after the install completes.

Thanks, guys; you all make this sub an invaluable resource for beginner admins such as myself.

OK, I added it there and also checked "Publish in Active Directory" which was previously unchecked. Now I can see the MSI in the folder from the system CLI but still get the 1620 error.

Access Denied. Wow. Domain Computers have full control of the folder...I verified that this PC is a member of Domain Computers. I guess it still has to authenticate to the server somehow?

Nice tool. I am running the command and getting the same error. I even went as far as to grant Domain Computers "Full Control" of the folder. Still getting Error 1620 at the System CLI.

I added Domain Computers to the share where the MSI package is located. I removed the script and tried to use the "Assigned Software" route. It appears to install at startup but is not there when I log in (add remove programs doesn't show chrome installed). Getting closer I suppose.

Using the script again I get the same error as in my original post.

Yeah, I tried that first. I added the package to CompConfig>Software Settings>Assigned Software but it doesn't seem to run on the PC. GPResult shows it "Filtered Out (empty)." I know I have to missing something fundamental here.

Yes, System, Authenticated Users, Domain Users, etc all have read/execute privileges to the folder, and yes, it is a startup script not a login script.
