SMB2, a complete redesign of the main remote file protocol for Windows - Jose Barreto's Blog. How to change registry values or permissions from a command line or a script. To change a registry value or registry permissions from a command line or from a script, use the Regini.exe utility. The Regini.exe utility is included in the Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit, in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit, and in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. Note The Regini.exe utility for Windows 2000 is no longer supported and is not available for download from Microsoft.
This tool is available on the original Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit CD-ROM only. The syntax for changing registry values or permissions with Regini is: REGINI [-m \\machinename] files Here, the -m \\machinename option is used to modify the registry of a remote machine, and files represents the names of the script files that contain the changes to the registry. The text file or files should contain the registry changes in the following format. \Registry\Hiveroot\Subkeys registry value=data [permissions] The Regini utility works with kernel registry strings.
Active Directory. Hyper-V. Windows Server 2008 R2: Virtualization with Hyper-V: Technical Resources. Active Directory Merger, Acquisition, and Divestiture: Restructuring Limitations. Updated: May 3, 2010 Applies To: Windows SBS 2003, Windows SBS 2008, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 Foundation, Windows Server 2008 R2 When a company acquires another company, business unit, or product line, the purchasing company may also want to acquire corresponding IT assets from the seller.
Specifically, the buyer may want to acquire some or all of the domain controllers that host the user accounts, computer accounts, or security groups that correspond to the business assets that are to be purchased. The only supported methods for the buyer to acquire the IT assets that are stored in the seller's Active Directory forest are as follows: Acquire the only instance of the forest, including all domain controllers and directory data in the seller's entire forest. This support limitation exists because: Migrating Accounts Without Using SID History: Active Directory. If you are not using SID history for resource access because SID filter quarantining is in place between your forests, your migration process involves first migrating all user accounts, but not enabling them in the target domain, to prepopulate the target domain and allow migration of user profiles.
Then you run security translation on all resources that the users access across forests. The next step is to migrate users in batches by migrating first the user profile, then the workstation, then the user account. Finally, you must remigrate the global groups to apply any changes made to the global groups in the source domain, and translate security in remove mode. It is still important to migrate SID history although user accounts will not use SID history for resource access. This ensures that operations such as Offline Files continue to function within the forest. Complete the following steps to migrate user accounts to the target domain:
