Adprep encountered an LDAP error.
Error code: 0xc. Server extended error code: 0x20ae, Server error message: 000020AE: SvcErr: DSID-03210384, problem 5010 (UNAVAIL_EXTENSION), data 8610
My domain scenario is that I have main domain controller on Windows Server 2008 R2 (DC1) and a backup domain controller on Windows Server 2008 (DC2), I am upgrading my company’s domain controller to server 2012 and for this i installed windows server 2012 on one of my machine in a Hyper-V role and wanted to make it as another backup domain controller before making further up gradation. But it was failing on pre-requisite checks with the error  mentioned above. Actually this Error was caused because of my silly mistake, but thought to share for silly guys like me, lol…
And the mistake was my backup domain controller (the server with Windows 2008) was turned off. Started the backup domain controller with the main domain controller and after that pre-requisite check was run successfully.

How to import Putty Saved Connections to mRemoteNG

Just started using mRemoteNG and its being very cool to connect to different remote connection with different protocols e.g Window Remote Desktop, VNC to Linux, SSH, HTTP connection etc. from a single application. As new user I configured some remote desktop connection which was quite easy to figure out. But when I wanted to add SSH connections, it came in my mind to import all of the saved connections in the putty. But I couldn't figure it out how can it be done, though it was quite easy and here are the steps. Open your mRemoteNG Create a folder if you want segregation of multiple networks Create a new connection Enter the IP address of remote server under connection in Config pane Under the config pane, select protocol " SSH version 2 ".  Once you select protocol to SSH version 2 you are given option to import putty sessions, as shown in the snap below. In the above snap, I have imported CSR-AWS session from my saved sessions in Putty.

Authoritative DNS Servers Delegation and Internal DNS Explained

DNS (Domain Name System) plays a critical role in how users and systems find resources on the internet or within internal networks. Whether it's managing an internal domain in an enterprise or delegating parts of a domain for traffic distribution, DNS setups vary widely depending on needs. In this blog post, we’ll break down the different types of DNS setups, including authoritative DNS servers, DNS delegation, and how internal DNS functions within organizations. 1. Authoritative DNS Server An Authoritative DNS server is the final source of truth for a specific domain. When someone queries a domain (e.g., example.com ), the authoritative DNS server for that domain holds the DNS records (A records, CNAME, MX, etc.) and responds with the corresponding IP address. Key Points: Who can host it? Authoritative DNS servers are often hosted by domain registrars (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) or cloud DNS providers (e.g., AWS Route 53, Cloudflare). However, organizations can also host their ...

SSL VPN vs IPSec VPN: Understanding the Key Differences

When it comes to securing communication over the internet, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a cornerstone of modern networking. Two popular types of VPNs are SSL VPN and IPSec VPN . While both serve to encrypt and secure data, they differ significantly in terms of technology, use cases, and implementation. This blog post will help you understand these differences and choose the right solution for your needs. What is SSL VPN? An SSL VPN uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS) , to create a secure connection. It operates at the Application Layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model and is designed to provide secure access to specific resources over the internet. Key Features of SSL VPN: Ease of Use: Accessible via a standard web browser without the need for dedicated client software. Granular Access Control: Allows users to access specific applications or resources rather than the entire network. Port Usage: Uses TCP port 443, which is rarely...
