If you create the new domain controller in the same domain as the old one, as an additional domain controller, you automatically get a replicated copy of the user accounts. I would strongly recommend doing it this way. Otherwise you will have to rejoin all of your workstations to the new domain as well, and all users' local profiles will then become disconnected from their accounts too.
In the main, Active Directory is a multi-master system - the DCs are peers and updates can be made on any DC. If you later plan to decommission the old DC there are a few roles, which only run on a single DC (for example, schema master and NT4 PDC-compatibility), which you will have to transfer. This can be done (IIRC) in Active Directory Domains and Trusts. You should also make your new DC a Global Catalog server.
The regular Windows Explorer copy process does not copy the security on files, if I recall correctly. When transferring to our new DC recently, we initially used xcopy and when we had some trouble with that, causing the 70GB copy to stop, used Robocopy from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools[^], which supports detecting unchanged files and restarting copy operations. Those tools support copying the existing Access Control Lists (ACLs). For xcopy use the /O switch, while for Robocopy use /SEC.

Hi...
My advice is to back up your important data before trying anything. I've lost all data several times trying stuff like this... Can you connect the drive to a properly functioning PC and copy everything there?
What did you use to change the drive letter to J? Did you delete the C partition?
(I'm not really an expert on this, so maybe better to wait for more replies...)

Windows locks the two partitions that is uses to start up, though these can be the same partition. The first is the Boot partition. In your case, the C: drive. This is used to start the boot process and start loading the system files. The second in the System partition, your J: drive, where the Windows system files are stored.
You really don't have any good choices but to reinstall Windows, and during the installation, delete the partition you want to format. You can recreate a new partition and format it after Windows has been installed. Be warned, all your drive letters will change.

The drive letters will get new assignments automatically when you reinstall Windows.

Only if they are contiguous on disk, or can be made contiguous. There is software out there that will do it, like Partition Magic, by moving the existing partitions around.

I have no idea what you've managed to do, but if Windows is corrupted, reinstalling Windows is your best bet - and that doesn't need an Admin account.

That depends on what happened to get rid of it.

Hi, some suggestions:
1. backup your data
2. you could boot from another disk (a floppy, a CD, a bootable USB device) which
allows you full operations on all partitions
3. there are commercial products that are good at dealing with partitions (adding,
resizing, renaming), one of them is Partition Magic.

Hello,
how can I create a littel process that listen to the
windows security when we enter the username and password?
I created a process that listen to all keyboard clicking
but it doesnt catch the security windows window (you know, when the
computer lock or something)
thanx.

First of all, don't cross post. Secondly, there is absolutely no justifiable reason to write software that captures security information like this.

O.K
really I'm not trying to get anyone password.
my reason is that I'm an administrator at my company
and we have a few computers with password for the employee
that we send to our customers but they have a kind of a window lock
when they enter a incorrect password and the windows lock it self
after 3 attempts .our employee swear us that they enter the password correct and we cant find the reason for all the locks.
it cost us a lot of money all those day the cant work beacuse the computer
lock it self. we want to find out if they entered the correct password
before the computer lock.
hope its a good reason.
thanx

Ok...that's a better explanation of what you are trying to do. However, it still isn't a justifiable reason.
The best way to do this is by using the Windows security event logging. If you run the "Local Security Policy" control panel applet, you can configure the auditing activities under the "Local Policies\Audit Policy" key. This will give you the ability to log the logon and logoff actions of the user and the reason (bad username or password, for example) for the failures.
You can also control how many attempts it takes to lock the account and how long before the account is automatically unlocked (this may be on Vista only, I'm not sure).

hi scott,
When i think of it i really dont need the all passwords only
the incorrect ones!
what you are saying , it will give me the ability to see all the logs of
logging window?
how do i configure the ability audit policy?
thank you.
|

To configure the audit policy, you need to run the "Local Security Policy" management console. This is normally available under the "Administrative Tools" section in Control Panel. It may also be available from the "Administrative Tools" Program Files menu option. If you don't see it there, the actual command line you need to run is: %SystemRoot%\system32\secpol.msc /s
In the tree (on the left side of the window) there should be a node named "Local Policies", expand that and then select the "Audit Policy" node. That should display a list of policies and the associated setting. At a minimum, you probably want to turn on the following policies:
- Audit account logon events
- Audit logon events
If you want to change the account lockout policies, you would expand the node named "Account Policies", and then select the "Account Lockout Policy" node. (This is the one that might not be available to you depending on the OS.)
Keep in mind that you need to do this from the computer that you need to change the policies on...you can't change these remotely from another computer.

scott,
thank you but it ain't helping me.
The event only write :
Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown user name or bad password
I still ain't getting the incorrect password they entered.
It still can be a bug in the application. it happening only
after hibernation.
I cant get the password?
thank you!!!

And you never will. Logging what the user typed is, itself, a security violation. There is nothing that will tell you what the users password is, nor is there anything that will tell you what the user typed. The reason being is that it gives you information about what the password is NOT.
The bottom line is that the user is not giving the proper password for the domain selected. It's that simple.
The reason why noone is going to tell you how to write is keylogger is because it can be easily abused, no matter what it's true purpose is.

You CANNOT get the password. Period.
Think about it. If you can get their password, then someone can get your password.
On the other hand, you can reset their password if you are an administrator.

FYI, if they are part of a Wondiws server 2003 domain you have the same granular control of the user log on process.

I answered this yesterday...
SQL is supported everywhere. SQL Server is another thing. MySQL may be an option. Of course, you can't run VB code in Mac or Linux.
