Add state checker to Windows Networking app to apprise users of missing SIDs
Migrated from: https://tracker.clearos.com/view.php?id=2143
Reported by: Dave Loper
For various reasons, servers may not have a domainSID or localSID. This can occur on server name changes, domain joins and other. A simple check to see if the server has a domainSID and localSID using the following should indicate a failed condition requiring support:
net getdomainsid
net getlocalsid
The following is a result of a failure to produce a domainSID:
[root@server ~]# net getdomainsid
Could not fetch local SID
If this condition shows up on a server configured to be a domain controller or backup domain controller, the following message should appear as a warning in Webconfig:
Failed to lookup local security identifier for this server. If this condition persists for more than 5 minutes, please contact support.
Comment 1:
Why do these missing SIDs even happen? It seems very flaky.
