Hi guys, want to learn a little more on active directory so i downloaded Server 2003 enterprise from MSDN got it installed on VirtualBox, got few tutorials but want to know if i can just set one up in VM and then do some settings and permission and login as a user and see if they have taken effect without connecting client PC?

currently reading this

Thanks

I think you're asking whether you can set group policies etc up on just the server and log in as a use on that?

If so. it's not advisable as a lot of the policies are on a per machine basis.

Why not just make a client in another VM?

yes you are correct, I got XP already installed and Vista (all on VM) so i can use XP to log in? (if i have both running, just not sure i can configure both VM OS to comminucate)

Thanks
 
i think i got used to VBox and also it hardly runs any process which i like, i do have VMware installed. Gonna see if i can it with VBox as i got everything installed.

Thanks
 
Hey Burnsy, i had to reinstall VMware cos i deleted the brigde to network (didnt allow repair)

after i reinstalled i got a error...so gave VB a try and found out how to get the to communicate.

(smiles) I got Server 2003 ent and XP client and i can log in as a user i created :D


but what i want to do now is create a user group (as users) and put some restrictions like not allowing to install apps. How do i do this? normally i would add snap in user groups but when i try it says i cannot and have to use AD. I also want to allowcate small HDD network space.

any one know how i can do this? is there a tutorial? the ones i found are just normal users which i have made already.

Thank you
 
Hi, i already have active directory installed and got users ( server is VM server 2003 and client is VM XP pro) I can use XP and log into the domain.

I can create users and groups and i cannot set policy to them or disk quotas (not sure how to do this yet)

thanks
 
mate that is magic, thank you!!! really appreciate it :D

1 last thing how do i give users their own disk place?

(i doubt that will be my last thing hehe)

Thank you
 
Hi thanks, i think i miss understood what i was trying to do.

I have got C: and D: HDD (virtual ones) when a user is created its localed in C: , but how do i only give them 50mb to use? do i do it via qouta?

also can i move these users to D: ?

D: is now being shared but on the client i have add the network drive manually, i couldnt get username only folder to work for some reason.

cheers
 
ok got a question for Adminstrators.

how many of you know binary (for IP) and how often do you calculate in ** head or paper what a IP and submask belong too?

do you just use a IP calculator?

cheers

(i'm not sure if i asking the question properly, so forgive me)
 
ok i know the difference, i normally use class C (router) and the active directory server i created uses class A ( i set auto).

Know question for you admins, will a employer mind that you need a subnet calculator?

how often do u get binary instead of standard IP and subnet?

thanks
