I have an AD user whose account was disabled for a few months but is now back.<br />
<br />
I have enabled him and he can log on etc and do stuff BUT when I try to add him to have permission to a folder his user name doesn't show up.<br />
<br />
If I try to add him to permissions on a folder on any of our domain controllers he shows up not not on the file server, which until recently WAS a DC but it isnt now.<br />
<br />
.. what could be the problem??<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
