Hi Tom,

I do not fully understand what you
mean.

> When MS says that Print Operators, Account
Operators,or Backup Operators are protected by the PDCE checking the ACL on the
AdminSDHolder object, I never see 
> those groups in the
ACE.
Wrong - MS does not say that the Operators are
protected by the PDCE checking any ACL. The PDCE runs the process which ensures
that the adminCount Attribut of members of those groups (+ others and accounts
you havent mentioned) is 0, then it resets the Security-Descriptor to be
the same as the AdminSdHolder-Process.

You've never seen ACEs for AOs? Did you check a user,
group, computer, inetorgperson or OU? Account Operators have the right to create
child/delete child on OUs for Users, Groups, Computers, INetOrgPersons, and they
also have Full Control on those Objects.

> Where are they
listed?
Security Tab
> How are they
protected?
See above
> What ACL
is the PDCE checking to determine what perms should be present for those
groups?No ACL, it's checking the groups, and
resets the rights of their members. The adminCount Attribute is 
helper.

In the thread before my blog about this was mentioned,
I think it clarifies some stuff:

AdminSDHolder

This may sound like a stupid question, but here goes-

When MS says that Print Operators, Account Operators,or Backup Operators
are protected by the PDCE checking the ACL on the AdminSDHolder object, I
never see those groups in the ACE.
Where are they listed?
How are they protected?
What ACL is the PDCE checking to determine what perms should be present
for those groups?

Thanks and sorry again if this seems really stupid or
basic.

The SDPROP thread monitors groups/users that are considered
"sensitive" and if the SD of one of those objects is not the same as what is on
the adminSDHolder object, that SD is applied to the object. They are not
specified in the ACL on the adminSDHolder object because they shouldn't have
permissions over those sensitive objects.

The SD of the adminSDHolder object is the
nTSecurityDescriptor attribute of that object. It is in the System container of
the domain in question.

The securityDescriptor of the adminSdHolder is copied to be
the same as the securityDescriptor of the Object in Question. Just look at the
Security-Tab of both, they are the same. If you change to one of a protected
Object (adminCount 0) it will be reset to be the same within one
hour.

AdminSdHolder is a object which has IMHO no specific use,
just to hold a securityDescriptor to use as template.

You can remove ( but not add )

You can remove any of the following:


Account Operators
Server Operators
Print Operators
Backup Operators

A few minor additions to other posts in this

The list of objects protected by SDPROP is hard coded
AFAIK. The SD applied to adminsdholder is then copied to those objects and (by
default), all other ACEs are removed and inheritance is disabled
too.

We discussed changing the list of objects protected in
previous threads and concluded that this was not possible. I, for one, would

Hi Neil,

as mentioned in my blog entry you are able to change if it
applies to the operator-groups (and which).

The whole nTSecurityDescriptor is copied, since there is
inheritance disabled on the adminSdHolder-Object inheritance is disabled by
default on those protected objects as well. If you enable inheritance on the
adminSdHolder the objects will inherit permissions.

But that is

perl -e "print \"very
\"x1000,\"\n\""

dangerous.

If you happen to drop one of these objects in an OU that
has some inherited permissions defined such as user:FC to some folks
with lesser powers then it is all over.  

But yes, it is a Security Descriptor level mod which
includes the ACLs (both DACL and SACL), inheritence setting (aka
protected), owner, primary group, etc.


Neal: Would you like to alter the list because you would
like to add your own custom groups/users to get controlled like that or do you
just want to just change what is protected at all?

AdminSDHolder

Hi Neil,

as mentioned in my blog entry you are able to change if it
applies to the operator-groups (and which).

The whole nTSecurityDescriptor is copied, since there is
inheritance disabled on the adminSdHolder-Object inheritance is disabled by
default on those protected objects as well. If you enable inheritance on the
adminSdHolder the objects will inherit permissions.

A few minor additions to other posts in this
thread:

The list of objects protected by SDPROP is hard coded
AFAIK. The SD applied to adminsdholder is then copied to those objects and (by
default), all other ACEs are removed and inheritance is disabled
too.

We discussed changing the list of objects protected in
previous threads and concluded that this was not possible. I, for one, would
like the flexibility to alter the list.

AdminSDHolder

This may sound like a stupid question, but here goes-

When MS says that Print Operators, Account Operators,or Backup Operators
are protected by the PDCE checking the ACL on the AdminSDHolder object, I
never see those groups in the ACE.
Where are they listed?
How are they protected?
What ACL is the PDCE checking to determine what perms should be present
for those groups?

Thanks and sorry again if this seems really stupid or basic.

OK thanks, I have made a note. I will bring it up when I am
with someone who could make a difference with it. I have also made a note in the
folder that has suggestions for future joeware and/or Deviant Software
tools/solutions.

But that is

perl -e "print \"very
\"x1000,\"\n\""

dangerous.

If you happen to drop one of these objects in an OU that
has some inherited permissions defined such as user:FC to some folks
with lesser powers then it is all over.  

But yes, it is a Security Descriptor level mod which
includes the ACLs (both DACL and SACL), inheritence setting (aka
protected), owner, primary group, etc.
