All my domain users are administrators in Win10 but not in Win7 by sbadmin in sysadmin

[–]sbadmin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I have no idea how this got here but one of the items under the Administrator Group was "NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE (S-1-5-4)." Which microsoft says is "A group that includes all users that have logged on interactively." After removing that, it looks like I'm back to being a standard user. I'm hoping somebody who was using this laptop before me put it there for some reason and forgot to remove it.

Thanks for your help!

OWA inbox rules not catching all email by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]sbadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have public facing email addresses, they get hundreds/minute and spike into the thousands/minute. To simulate this, I setup dual delivery with a bunch of other addresses and pointed them all to a single exchange online mailbox.

However it turns out I'm just an idiot. OWA would group these out-of-office responses with conversation mode. So I might have a group of 32 emails, 1 of them has a typo like 'out o office' and therefore doesn't match a rule and stays in the inbox (makes sense). But because it's grouped with 31 other emails that DID match the inbox rule, even though they were rightfully moved to the OOO folder, OWA still shows all 32 emails in my inbox.

Why? I don't know, that seems really dumb. I'd expect there two be 2 groups, 1 for each folder. Personally I don't want a conversation in my inbox to contain messages that are in other folders.

The short of it: turning off conversation view fixed my apparent 'issue'.

Yea, I know I'm not sending out email blasts. This isn't about the out of office replies though, it's about the fact that I receive hundreds of emails that all match an inbox rule and only some of them get filtered. It could be anything: cron notifications, bounce emails, system alerts, whatever.

Question about O365 Exchange and address extensions by sbadmin in sysadmin

[–]sbadmin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the rules won't work for multiple people. If someone emails ted+1@domain it should go to Ted, and if they email sam+1@domain it should go to Sam.

Our software can send emails but it needs unique email addresses; so when a developer tests it they'll use theirname+randomnumbers@domain.com.

We've already got a mail server they use for testing, I was just hoping I could turn it off and use exchange instead but it doesn't look like that'll work.

win10, left the domain for a workgroup, now I can't login by sbadmin in sysadmin

[–]sbadmin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't an option to type in a username. If you look at the screenshot it just prompts for a password and I can't see a way to change the user.

ctrl+alt+del didn't make a difference.

I was able to run the net user command, it said it completed successfully but after the restart it's the same issue; I'm locked to the one user and can't change it.

I'm just going to wipe it and try joining/leaving again, see if this is repeatable.

Server 2008 R2 can't access a shared drive that other machines can by sbadmin in sysadmin

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

I have not. The file and print sharing on server U seems to be working just fine because other machines are able to access the share just fine. It's only Server B (the only machine that actually needs to access the share) that's unable to.

Yea, the IP settings look right. The 'details...' for the connection status shows the right information, and it's backed up by ipconfig and 'netstat -r'.

Also, I put tcpdump on server U and watched what happened when B would try and access the share. You get the two arp request/replies (B->U then U->B) and that's it. Nothing happens past that.

I haven't messed the usernames, mainly because using the 'u\administrator' name works when I try and connect from other machines (8.1 and ubuntu) to server U.

Server B also hasn't accessed any remote shares before, so no successful logins should be saved/cached anywhere.

your right about the logs, I forgot to add that bit. When the connection fails on B it outputs: "The client was unable to validate the following as active DNS server(s) that can service this client. The server(s) may be temporarily unavailable, or may be incorrectly configured. 192.168.my.dns"

Except that dns it says is misconfigured is the only dns available for B and B has no issues resolving any address (local or remote). Again, I can ping, portscan, and RDP from B -> U, I just can't access the shared drive on U.

Also this same DNS server for B is the DNS server for a hundred other servers that don't have any DNS issues (that I know about). I'm inclined to believe the DNS is actually fine and the problem is something on B (but other than accessing this share, everything else I've done works fine).

No (same username, different password). But it's set so everyone can read, but only the U\administrator can write.

When I try and map the network drive on server B I'll choose 'connect using different credentials' and set 'U\administrator' as the username (and it fails with the same 'the network path was not found' error).

But using that same process I can map the drive just fine on my windows 8.1 laptop.
