·         Passwords for each account are copied.

·         User name and description properties are copied to the target

·         Terminal server settings and properties are copied to the target server for each account that is populated on the source server

·         All user rights are migrated to the target server.

Local Goups

Migrate Local Server Accounts to Domain Accounts

ADUM Server Edition, using the ServerMigration App, will convert local server user accounts and local groups to domain accounts and maintain resource security without user impact or downtime..

This process will recreate the source account in the target domain and in any selected OU.
User properties are copied to the converted domain accounts including passwords.
Local groups can be converted into domain local groups then populated with the new migrated domain user accounts.

Once the accounts are created, the source server is reACLed for files, folders and shares using an append process, whereby both the local accounts and domain accounts have the same access to resources. This is done because of the different SIDs between local and domain accounts.

The last step,  once satisfied, know as the cleanup process, is to remove the local accounts from the server and the resources.

ADUM also includes third party free tools to automatically repermission SQL databases with the new accounts

Because ADUM Server Edition includes 1 hour of support, once purchased a ManageRED Migration Expert can get the client started with the the process of converting local accounts to domain accounts.

ServerMigrator is the ONLY software to perform this task on the market today.

ADUM Licensing Issues with Copy-Paste

Recently when customers copy their license key for ADUM Enterprise, Server or Small Business Edition from the email sent to them after their purchase, an issue arises that leaves the ADUM software in Evaluation Mode.

This issue is caused by copying a trailing space after the license key as shown below. The trailing space can not be seen until the license key is highlighted.

To resolve this issue, highlight the license key and remove (delete) the trailing space and click on the License button. ADUM will now be in licensed mode for which ever version that was purchased.

Microsoft Special Permissions

An Administrator’s Nightmare or Easy Shortcuts.

Microsoft introduced special permission after the release of Windows 2000.  It is a representable view of applying permissions to files and folders by allowing permission to be granted to named groups in various permission levels.

At an individual level or in a small network special permissions do not create known issues; however, in large organization the use of special permissions create auditing and accountability issues as well as security management issues.

The special permissions applied in certain areas and not a standard. This permission applies to a group or a person as the owner of a folder, folder tree and files. Being an owner of a folder does not grant the person or group rights to the folder or files. It requires a proxy. In this case the proxy is a named Windows builtin SID called Creator/Owner and the permission is granted to it.

If an audit was to be performed, the actual permission as to who has permission to what would  be become a nightmare to perform because the audit trail would use the permission of creator\owner. And because multiple users or groups can be creator/owners there would be no security accountability.

In a migration scenario regardless of tool set being used (QUEST, Microsoft, ADUM) it would be impossible to maintain a co-existence between 2 domains during migration because there can only be ONE owner. Therefore any folder being accessed by special permissions can only be accessed by one account from one domain at a time. In a large migration that involves migration in incremental stages the special permissions scenario would not grant rights to folders and files from multiple domains.

The Solution

ManageRED with ADUM 8.00 or higher, has developed a non-intrusive method of providing coexistence from multiple domains whereby the special permission limitation has been removed. All accounts either explicit or through ownership are granted the same permissions to files and folders without destroying the original permission.

This process is now incorporated into the latest update to deal with the random use of special permissions throughout a network without user intervention or down time during the reACLing process.
