My background is Novell, so if comparisons could be made to it...
I have inherited an Active Directory installation and have a few questions.
It appears that dynamic users are created on the local workstations when people authenticate to AD.
Is this the default behavior? I am having problems with local file system rights with these automagically created users. I can make the problem go away if I install XP on FAT32 drives (no file system security).
Here is what is happening:
Install XP Pro with current patches on NTFS drive
Install Oracle 10g runtimes and test connectivity
Install oracle enabled application, uses tnsnames.ora to resolve, application works
Authenticate to AD
Application fails claiming Oracle files not installed
Attempt to change file system security, not enough rights
Authenticate to local workstation as admin user, AD users not available to add rights to
Problem goes away with fat32.
