Recently, I have seen some discussion about the empty forest
recomendation and how that has changed since the WIndows 2000 days.

We are currently experiencing some paged pool memory shortages in our
Exchange environment. The usage was determined that the access token size
is consuming most of the memory. We really like groups - to the extent that
it is causing our memory issues,

Our group strategy is to put users in domain global groups. The DG
groups are put into universal groups. The UGs are assigned permissions.
Sometimes domain local groups are used also. This strategy has been in
place since we designed out Windows 2000 Active Directory environment.

I am wondering if this is still the best method of using groups in a
Windows 20003 domain. Any current links to group management best practices
would be appreciated. I am not looking at management tools - we have too
many of those already. I am looking at how best to assign users to groups.

We have an empty root with four child account domains.

Hi Ernie



Have you read this whitepaper - it's an oldie but a goodie:



Addressing
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=22dd9251-0781-42e6
-9346-89d577a3e74a&DisplayLang=en> Problems Due to Access Token Limitation



The whitepaper talks at some length about the causes of token bloat and
(apart from really obvious things such as SIDHistory) that these boil down
to how groups are used/abused in a given environment. In particular,
problems can arise from:



Large fan-out group structure

Deep nesting group structure



The following article indicates that domain local groups take up more space
inside the token (40 bytes) as opposed to in-domain global groups and
universal groups (8 bytes).



New resolution <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327825> for problems with
Kerberos authentication when users belong to many groups



There's also this one from the MS Exchange team blog, which I suspect is
more directly relevant to your situation.



Large Security <http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2005/12/28/416551.aspx>
Tokens and Kernel Memory Exhaustion



The article suggest three things that might help reduce the token size:



1. Reduce the number of security groups to which each user belongs.
(duh)

2. Host Exchange servers in a different domain than the users who
connect to them.

3. Where possible, convert security groups to distribution groups.

Here is a slightly more detailed calculation for token size.



1200 + 40*((# domain local groups)+(non-local universal groups)+(#SIDHistory entries)) + 8((global groups)+(local universal groups))


As you can see non-local universal groups can also increase the group size by the same amount as you domain local group. So if your universal groups come from your root domain or if you have the majority of your universal groups in a separate child domain from were a large percentage of your user base is the token size can be even larger.
Since you mentioned exchange here is another article that directly relates to Exchange and paged pool memory.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912376

Here is another useful tool for looking at groups tokensz

IMO, the UGLyΏ] or whatever else it is called group strategy never was a
good viable solution in larger orgs even back in NT4 days. It is an attempt
at a half-breed between roles based and resource based and in the end you
either have a bazillion groups that really do nothing or you give out too
many permissions to people who don't need them or both.

My overall favorite strategy even though it is missing an element of
reporting is users go directly into machine local groups where the resources
are located at. Domain level groups are used for domain level resources such
as DFS, or AD perms, or distributed SQL apps or other distributed type
things. I want my groups as close to the resources as I can get them. Using
machine local groups for your resources on the machines gets away from the
token bloat issues and it also slows down the issues of... where the hell
does this group have permissions at? You know it is only on that one machine
so the scope is substantially reduced.

That being said, there is a horrible native issue with reporting back who
has access to what when you use machine level groups. Management is a trifle
more involved as well, as by default you have to connect to the machine in
question to make the modifications. Some people also don't know how to
delegate group management on member machines and think that you have to give
admin rights out to manage member machine groups. I have seen companies
though that have built these things right into their provisioning or group
management tools. I actually have had on a list of about 60 apps that I want
to build a solution for managing these member machine groups through AD. I
spent a couple years about 6-7 years ago working out little aspects of what
I think it should do, just need to spend the time and build it. Just because
the native OS tie-in of member groups to the domain is poor doesn't mean
someone else can't tie it together with an app.

Due to the issues with member local groups, people often fall back to is a
system of resource based domain local groups which is my second favorite
type of deployment where the users go directly into domain local groups and
the domain local groups either go into machine local groups or go straight
onto the ACLs of the objects. I prefer the domain local groups go into
machine local groups though because it makes it easier for migration into
other domains/forests etc.

I rarely if ever recommend any kind of role based system with native groups
because people rarely define or manage the roles properly nor the
permissions that go behind the roles, it is a well this circle kind of fits
in this round hole so lets go with it... Then people get tossed into roles
because they are close to what they need though some percentage of the stuff
the group gives access to isn't needed by the person in question. Its an
80/20 permissioning system and I think security on resources should be
closer to 100% even if it is hard to maintain. If the security on the
resources wasn't important, it would just be set to authenticated users in
the first place.

For Mom and Pop yes it is a recommended best practice, or was. Those are the
bread and butter of the MSFT deployments and what MSFT primarily targers...
But it isn't across the board for everyone. And recall best practices aren't
"this is best for everyone", they are this what we sort of recommend given
our experience for these specific cases. I have similar issues with the 2003
AD Deployment guide for disk layout. Works well to a certain size but then
just doesn't make sense. In fact I once polled 10 MSFT employees in
different areas on if they would deploy the disk guidance in the 2003 AD
Deployment guide. Out of all of them, most of which all did Enterprise class
work, they all scoffed at the idea. One guy gave the best answer of it
depends on the deployment I am looking at and my perf counter tests. Only
one MCS guy (and he was brand new in the job only 3 months and still no real
enterprise experience) said that he would deploy AD verbatim to the
Deployment guide.

Its why I specifically called out "larger orgs". There is very little
guidance from MSFT for larger orgs, the idea is that you call in consultants
who are supposed to know what they are doing and they can work out the best
deployment options for you with your specific environment, concerns, and
issues in mind. Most all of my experience with MSFT the last 12 years has
all been Enterprise, 35000 being about the smallest company I have worked
with for any real amount of time. Back on NT4 I was working in an
environment with almost 250,000 users and can tell you quite strongly UGLy
did not work well.

Agree on the fact a best practice is a recommendation... That's the
definition :-)
But the problem is that it's used as a reference in many cases.
I would like to know, in this particular case, when you could argue to not
use the best practice recommendation and which arguments can be used?
This really interests me as I sometimes work with people doing this stuff,
using MS recommendations all the way etc. believing that "best practice" is
the "rule" i.o. using it as a recommendation...

Thanks for your clear answer (as always)!
