    How to find differences between two types computer accounts in Active Directory?

    Are you saying that pre-staging the computer in AD, then joining the workstation to the domain using the pre-stage name, results in an authentication failure with Cisco software/hardware....?

    But NOT pre-staging has no problems? Are ALL the computer accounts still sitting in the default Computers OU?

    TBH Have never heard of that being an issue. You can manually compare object attributes from ADUC for two computer objects, but have no idea what you’d be looking for.

    How do sites connect to LDAP?

    Vipan Kumar
    Added an answer on May 26, 2023 at 12:25 am

    Most apps need a hard-coded server name, so you can use a proxy to provide HA instead of specifying a specific domain controller. It's very app-specific, but most will use a URI of LDAP(s)://servername.fqdn.tld:389 (or 636) if your DCs have SSL certs. If you're talking about how Windows clients do iRead more

    If you’re talking about how Windows clients do it, they use “[DCLocator process](https://servergurunow.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/dc-locator-process-2/)” to find a “close” DC, which are all LDAP servers.

    How to remove msDS-KeyCredentialLink value

    Vipan Kumar
    Added an answer on May 26, 2023 at 12:23 am

    `set-ADObject -Identity '' -clear "msds-keycredentiallink"` I had a computer account in my lab where that attribute was populated (no AZAD sync, solely on-prem) and the above works for me.

    `set-ADObject -Identity ” -clear “msds-keycredentiallink”`

    What your doing doesnt make sense.

    1. Build new server 2022
    2. Join to domain
    3. Ensure FRS to DFSR migration has been completed.
    4. DCPromo server 2022 to domain controller.

    No idea what youre doing with this
    “Set-ADForestMode –Identity “acme.com” –ForestMode Windows2012R2Forest”

    You set the forest level one time, unless youre upgrading it.

    Is xyz.com the same as your companies external dns (like for the website)?

    If so use ad.xyz.com it’ll make it so much easier.

    If you HAVE to use xyz.com you’ll need a new naming convention for anything registered in DNS (I.e all devices/servers/computers etc).

    How are you going to move the users over? Creating them two accounts? Cause you won’t be able to use trust relationships temporarily if your ad domains are called the same thing.

    You should be fine. Just make sure that you don't have any other applications that specifically require a specific FFL. This should be exceptionally, exceedingly rare if you are already at 2012r2 with no Exchange. The only reason I bring it up is I just so happen to be working in an environment righRead more

    You should be fine. Just make sure that you don’t have any other applications that specifically require a specific FFL. This should be exceptionally, exceedingly rare if you are already at 2012r2 with no Exchange.

    The only reason I bring it up is I just so happen to be working in an environment right now that has some geriatric app that at least according to the dev team prevents us from raising our FFL until they retire that app next month. Again, it is highly unlikely that you have something like this going on (you’d probably have heard and groaned about it by now), but it never hurts to be certain.
