How to Perform Authoritative DC Restore for Windows Server 2008

Active Directory, Identity, Video Tutorials

When a domain contains more than one domain controller, Active Directory replicates directory objects, such as users, groups, organizational units, and computers, to all the domain controllers in that domain. Authoritative restore is a method to recover objects and containers that have been deleted for AD DS. An authoritative restore marks specific data as current and prevents the replication from overwriting that data. The authoritative data is then replicated throughout the domain. The process for performing an authoritative restore of AD is the same as a Non-authoritative restore except for one step. After the restore of AD is complete in DSRM and then, before restarting, you manually run Ntdsutil, and the mark the object that you want to restore as Authoritative.

How to Enable SSL Support for VSFTPD – RHEL 6 – CentOS 6

Red Hat - CentOS - Fedora, Video Tutorials

FTP, or file transfer protocol, was a popular way to transfer files between local and remote computers in the past. Traditional FTP is rather insecure. When you login, your username and password are transmitted in clear text, raising the possibility of your credentials being sniffed. If you still want to use FTP instead of a more secure alternative like SFTP, which uses the SSH protocol to implement file transfers, you can secure it somewhat by configuring FTP to use SSL. You can quite easily configure your vsftpd server to use OpenSSL encryption, so that usernames & password, and even data files, are encrypted during transfer. It takes just a few simple steps. Steps: 1. Check whether the latest mod_ssl installed locate mod_ssl 2. Install the latest mod_ssl via yum yum…

Installing Arch Linux 2013.05.01 + Xfce 4.10 in VMware Workstation 9

Linux, Video Tutorials

What is Arch Linux? Arch Linux is an independently developed general purpose GNU/Linux distribution. Development focuses on simplicity, minimalism.

Although Arch is completely independent, it draws inspiration from the simplicity of other distributions including Slackware, CRUX and BSD. Arch Linux is one of my favorite GNU/Linux distributions, however it is not as easy to install as are other Linux distributions.
