[cifs-protocol] SRX090922600157 : [MS-ADTS] 7.1.1.1 Naming Contexts Domain Admins Permissions

[Bill Wesse]

Good afternoon Nadya!

I have provided below a set of links for information that pertains to Active Directory permissions. There does not appear to be a specific guide for what the default permissions on a given Active Directory object, other than the Schema documents available at the following link. Please let me know if you have any specific questions concerning these that I have not already answered.

If you have no further questions, I will consider your question resolved.

http://blogs.msdn.com/openspecification/archive/2009/06/26/using-the-windows-server-protocols-documentation-set-to-better-understand-the-active-directory-schema.aspx

For example, there are 232 defaultSecurityDescriptor (SDDL formatted) attributes in MS-AD_Schema_2K8_R2_Consolidated.txt (which is in the Schemas.zip attachment to the blog entry).

Good day Nadya (please let me know if I am using your name correctly)!

I have created case SRX090922600157, in order to track our work concerning your questions (shown below). Hopefully, we have not missed anything you are enquiring after.

1. Why are the domain admins also provided full permissions if not needed for replication?
2. Is this for the administrative purposes only?

7.1.1.1.2 Config NC Root
7.1.1.1.3 Schema NC Root
7.1.1.1.4 Domain NC Root
In order for D2 to replicate the NC, D2 must be granted the following rights on the NC root...
