Q. How can I export a distributed file system
replication (DFSR) replica group schedule?
by John Savill
12-10-07
A. You can use the DFSRADMIN utility to export a DFSR
replica group schedule, as you see below. The only necessary parameters
are the replica group name and the name of the file to which you want to
export the schedule.
dfsradmin rg export sched /rgname:savilltech.net\shared\documents
/file:documentsched.txt
The resulting output shows the schedule in 15-minute increments for each
hour of the 7-day schedule, starting with Sunday, as you see below.

The key is: F =Full, E=256M, D=128M, C=64M, B=32M, A=16M, 9=8M, 8=4M,
7=2M, 6=1M, 5=512K, 4=256K, 3=128K, 2=64K, 1=16K, 0=No replication
You can run the same report for specific replication connections by
adding the sending and receiving members via the /SENDMEM: and /RECVMEM:
switches.

Q. How can I configure my Windows Server
2008-mode domain to use distributed file system replication (DFSR)
instead of NT file replication service (NTFRS)?
by John Savill
12-11-07
A. If you create a new Active Directory (AD) domain
in Server 2008 mode, DFSR is used for SYSVOL replication. However, if
you install a new domain in any mode besides Server 2008, or if you just
upgrade, then NTFRS is used for SYSVOL replication, even if all servers
are running Server 2008.
To migrate from NTFRS to DFSR, use the DFSRMIG utility provided with
DFSR. Microsoft wrote this tool for the purpose of migrating all the
domain controllers (DCs) within a domain from FRS to DFSR.

Q. How can I stop Server Manager from running
when I start Windows Server 2008?
by John Savill
12-12-07
A. There is an option in Server Manager to stop it
from launching every time you start Server 2008. In the Server Summary
section, go to Computer Information and select "Do not show me this
console at logon." You can also stop Server Manager from launching by
setting the registry value "DoNotOpenServerManagerAtLogon" to 1 under
the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SERVERMANAGER registry subkey.

Q. How do I access the Initial Configuration
Tasks (ICT) window in Windows Server 2008 after initially disabling it
when launching Server Manager?
by John Savill
12-13-07
A. To access the ICT window after disabling its
automatic launch when starting Server Manager, go to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SERVER MANAGER\OOBE registry
subkey and find "Do not open Initial Configuration Tasks at logon." "Set
the "Do not show this windows at logon" value back to 0. You can also
use the registry editor to change this value, or alternatively run
OOBE.EXE to launch the ICT window.
Note: ICT is meant to only walk you through the configurations necessary
to complete the server installation. For day-to-day systems management,
use Server Manager.

Q. Is there a script I can use to add a new
Active Directory (AD) user via an LDAP connection?
by John Savill
12-14-07
A. Yes there is. The script below creates a new user
("Bob Bobbington") through an LDAP connection and adds the user to the
"Users" container.
Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Users,DC=savilltech,DC=net")
Set objUser = objOU.Create("User", "cn=Bob Bobbington")
objUser.Put "sAMAccountName", "Bob"
objUser.Put "displayName", "Bob Bobbington"
objUser.Put "name", "Bob Bobbington"
objUser.Put "givenName", "Bob"
objUser.Put "sn", "Bob"
objUser.Put "department", "IT"
objUser.Put "mail", "bob@bob.com"
objUser.SetInfo
objUser.AccountDisabled = false
objUser.put "userPassword", "Pa55word"
objUser.SetInfo
