Export/Import Active Directory Entries To/From a Domain Controller

-

We can use the ldifde.exe to import and export Active Directory entries to/from a Domain Controller. Ldifde.exe can be found in c:\windows\system32 folder. If you can’t find it then run the add-ons to install that command line tool.

To export the Organizational Units or simply OUs, please execute the following command:

ldifde -f exportOu.ldf -s dcdomnp01 -d "dc=MyDomain,dc=Com" -p subtree -r  "(objectCategory=organizationalUnit)" -l "cn,objectclass,ou"

To export User Accounts please execute the following command:

ldifde -f Exportuser.ldf -s dcdomnp01 -d " dc=MyDomain,dc=Com" -p subtree -r "(&(objectCategory=person) (objectClass=User)(givenname=*))" -l
"cn,givenName,objectclass,samAccountName,company,c,co,employeeNumber,givenName,sn,streetAddress,l, st,postalCode,title,costCenter,department,manager,"

And, to import them into the new domain, please execute the following commands:

ldifde -i -f ExportOU.ldf -s MyToDomain.Com

ldifde -i -f Exportuser.ldf -s MyToDomain.Com

To Add/Remove the AD attributes please change the attribute section on the previously stated commands.

Done….It’s that simple

SharePoint 2013 across multiple servers for a three-tier farm (Traditional Topology)

-

Today, I will demonstrate how to create a three-tiered SharePoint farm using Traditional topology. If you want to go through Streamline topology, you will need couple more servers to diversify the services and service applications. In SharePoint 2013 Installation and Configuration of the Server types are pretty much same. But, you should create the App server first that hosts the Central Administration. Then you can go on creating the servers as many as you want by choosing "Connecting to Existing Farm" during the installation process. The DNS for the sites should point to the NLB or WFE as the sites are being hosted into the WFEs instead of APP servers. The App servers should be configured for SharePoint service applications like Search, BI. Managed Meta Data etc.   1.        Create Necessary SharePoint Accounts 2.        Install SQL Server 2012 with Named Instance for SharePoint: It is recommended ...

Add a Data Source with following info types:   - Name : Should be the Data Source Name   - Type : XML   - Connection String : Should be the SharePoint Web Service for SharePoint List     [Example: http://myintranet/ts/FazlulsWorld/_vti_bin/lists.asmx ]   - Credentials: Windows Authentication or choose appropriate radio button   3.

Preface Data is seemingly controlling us and everything around us in many ways. Big data is more prevalent in our daily life more than what we think. Business Intelligence has become integral part for effective decision making. Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analysis has been playing pivotal role in the digital transformation processes. Current industry trend is to assess data behaviour and build knowledge libraries. Industires are dealing with billions of micro devices that are connected to the control hub and emitting time series data continuously. These devices need to be connected to the central data pipeline and thus predict or prescribe device's health, availability and possible failure points. To connect billions of devices into corporate data pipeline, we need to have Big Data repositories. This is where IoT concept kicks in. Dr. Williams, Director of MIT described a world, where "things" (devices or sensors) are con...
