Active Directory: Copy Distribution List Members to Another Distribution List

Summary: In this example, we will copy all members from one Distribution Group to another Distribution Group.

Copy the contents below and save as copymembers.vbs to C: drive


Const ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP = &H2

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Security Groups, dc=company, dc=com")
Set objOldGroup = GetObject("LDAP://CN=mysourcegroup, ou=security groups, dc=company, dc=com")
Set objNewGroup = GetObject("LDAP://CN=mytargetgroup, ou=security groups, dc=company, dc=com")

On Error Resume Next
For Each objUser in objOldGroup.Member
objNewGroup.Add "LDAP://" & objUser
Next


Open Command prompt:

C:\>cscript copymembers.vbs


The script will copy all members in the "mysourcegroup" Distribution List to your "mytargetgroup" Distribution List.


Note: Some organizations like to use # in front of their Distribution List names so they appear together in the GAL. Because this is a special character it will need to be in double quotes to treat # as a literal.

Example:
("LDAP://""CN=mysourcegroup""

How to restore the sent item mailbox in outlook

You need to download this exe file(MFCMAPI 32 bit executable - March 2010 (6.0.0.18)) from here:

http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/releases/view/41828

Extra then install it.

Look for mailbox

Double click PR_ATTR_HIDDEN and uncheck the "Boolean" box and click OK -> set the value to false. If it's true then your sent item mailbox won't show.


Correct the registry value using the information from the following article from the Knowedge Base online to prevent future issues with any users moved to the impacted Back-End Exchange Server:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;311154 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311154)

To immediately correct the problem for existing users, you can use the following steps using MFCMAPI.EXE:

Launch MFCMAPI and click OK to the first window.
Click Session, click Log On and Display Store Table.
Choose the Outlook profile for the mailbox and click OK, provide credentials if prompted.
Double click the Mailbox - and a new window will open.
Expand the Root Folder .
Expand Top Of Information Store.
Single click to select the impacted folder - for example Contacts.
In the detail window, note the value of the PR_ATTR_HIDDEN property (T or F - T means it is Hidden).
Double click PR_ATTR_HIDDEN and uncheck the "Boolean" box and click OK.
Close all MFCMAPI windows and log off Outlook and restart.

The Contacts (or other) folder will be visible and the shortcuts will now work.

Why can't I join my computer to the domain?

I have a Win2k8 server - server1, got DNS and ADDS installed.
Domain name server.com.

I got another Win2k8 server - server2, can ping server.com but why can't I join it to the domain?

--> check your DNS on server2, make sure it's pointing to the server1's ip not the router's IP!
