diferencias

que diferencia hay entre los usuarios de un dominio y todos los usuarios que aparecen por ejemplo cuando damos permisos??? ahora creo que  comprendo la pregunta :-) estás usando el sistema en español, luego "todos los usuarios" se refiere al grupo especial llamado "everyone" "usuarios del dominio" son todos los usuarios de tu dominio, incluyendo por supuesto administrador e invitado "todos los usuarios (everyone)": incluye todos los usuarios, de tu dominio y de otros dominios en los cuales el tuyo confíe. e inclusive dependiendo del sistema operativo y de cómo se haya actualizado el dominio lo largo del tiempo, podría incluir también "anonymous" como regla general, si quiere dar permisos todos los usuarios de tu dominio, utiliza el primero (usuarios del dominio), es más seguro   guillermo delprato - buenos aires, argentina visite windows server - todos los paso paso mvp [directory services] - mct - mcse - mcsa mcsa

Windows 2008 Server Schemas

does know schemas windows 2008 server supports. windows server 2003 supported h350 schema documented anywhere still support windows server 2008?   thanks 1. bit ambigues question have many answers. place question specific problem in focus? (see rules here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375) 2. internet: resolved: believe have identified source of problem: "rtfm". page 39 of lifesize video communications systems administrator guide: "..lifesize recommends use ldap server configured h.350 compliant schema..." since windows ad not default h.350 compliant, suspect why not getting results. rely on auto-discovery until our ad schema becomes h.350 compliant. 3. perhaps better follow trace of rfc3944 in ad 2k8 regards milos Windows Server  >  Windows Serve
