Korgo Virus
We had two days of the LAN being down this week with the Win32.Korgo.I
virus.
It has similar behaviour to the Sasser that we spent a whole day on
'fixing'. We had Microsoft Auto-updates turned of for some reason - MS04-011
patch would have stopped it, but it wasn't on all our machines.
It most likely got in via a laptop that was on the net while outside our
firewall and then brought it in.
We are updating all our laptops to XP and using it's firewall - better that
nothing.
Any suggestions on good laptop policy regarding security - I know that might
seem a silly question, but we have been using NT4 and 2000 on our laptops
with good updated virus protection forever, long before I came here, even
though I knew the lack of a software firewall was a risk and brought the
issue up a few times.

OT- M$ Survey
Just received a very interesting e-mail form M$. It was a survey asking
if I thought a new exam format using simulations would be better than the
current format. My answers followed the general consensus of what we

MCSE
Hello I need an MCSE in my country but the tests do not
say anything of value for me to consider it. I need an
MCSE for opportunity knocks on my being almost daily but
the credentials are losing my mind. I think I need more
information to make a better judgement if you can help
then you are praised highly.

MS - exam combinations...
I'm new to MS certifications, and it looks like my employer will pay
for some of the costs, so I'm researching...anyway, wanted to ask the
more experienced folks a couple of questions.
First, are there restrictions in combining exams for multiple
certifications. For example, say the track I wanted to follow for the
MCDBA included exams 70-228 (core), 70-229(core), 70-215(core), and
70-216(elect.). These four exams also fall under the MCSE track (228
and 229 are electives under MCSE, and 215 & 216 are core). So if I
pass the four exams for the MCDBA, does this mean I can also count all
four of these towards the MCSE (4 out of 7). Or does MS have
restrictions on what can be used for multiple certifications?
Secondly - what method would be best? Take classes? Or get the
books, and go on my own. I know different people learn differently,
etc. I have about 3 years of SQL Server experience (some admin &
design, but mostly development & SQL), and lots of experience with
general windows (not a lot of server or active directory experience,
mainly workstation). Tag: MCSE on windows2000 expire??? Tag: 131671
OT PKI / Certificate services
Ok this is a question for someone who is a US corporate guru. In a public
traded company how do you satisfy the SEC rules regard email and file
security. It sounds like that no one in the IT department for the
organization is even allowed to have recovery agent authority because we
might be able to read or see something that may lead us to purchase or sell
stock. This puts the IT department in a bad situation as we a responsible
for the backup and recovery of all data, however if a VP looses his
certificate we can not recover his data. Does anyone here have experience
with these type of policy decisions? I am looking to find out if a
Certifcate server implementation can satisfy the SEC rules and what tuning
to group policy, recover agents and key backups may need to be done.
Thanks

Can I upgrade Win2k MCSA -> 2k3 MCSE with 2 exams?
Note topic!
I understand that alot of you will just say, "CHECK THE MCP WEBSITE" but its
not so clear on this.
I know I can change my MCSA 2k into MCSA 2k3 with one single exam.
Another exam is required for MCSE 2k3.
Must I be MCSE 2k to write the second exam?
Do I need to write a 2k3 elective or two as well as the upgrade exam?
Just trying to save money
Thanks. :)

Hi All,
I need a script that reports back the name of the Local
Area Connection on a Windows 2000 Server.
To clarify. In properties of "My Network Places" where
the LAN connections are displayed, the default names have
been renamed. So the first connection usually
called "Local Area Connection" has been renamed to "First
Net Connection"
In Windows 2003, the WIN32_NetworkAdapter Class has a
NETConnectionID value that returns the name however I
can't find anything similar in Windows 2000.
Can someone tell me if I'm able to do this?

70-290 Study material
Just wanted to get some of your ideas on this test. I have the mspress study
guide and it seems to be leaving a lot out. Wondering what books (sybex,
exam cram,or syngress) you would recommend. Looking at the reviews on amazon
and sites like that, sybex and syngress seem to be pretty good, but I would
like the opion of people that are actualy in the industry not somebody just
trying to pass the test like me. Thanks in advance. Tag: MCSE on windows2000 expire??? Tag: 131377
A bad 70-216 book?
I've been using the sybex study guide, and one of the red exam cram books.
With both these I was doing Ok. I then got the Exam Prep Windows 2000
Network book for this exam and it's all gone wrong!
I'm finding the practice questions very badly written - often the
questions/answers/both are very vague and make assumptions so Im getting a
lot wrong. In addition, it seems to ask a lot of questions on non-network
stuff, like creating a batch file to detect what version of Windows you
have, and how to fix a mouse that stops responding through a switchbox?!
Will the exam cover this kind of stuff - really?!
For instance, one question (shortened version!) said there are 4 file
servers, \\research\projects1, then 2, 3, and 4 as well. Requirement is to
add all 4 to a DFS tree, optional requirements is to permit any authorised
user to access stuff on any of the four servers, also to provide redundancy,
and to use the closest, then next available and so on when accessing them.
The solution they give simply says "Add the DFS Snapin to the MMC, add one
share called \\research\projects to the tree".
Thats it, so I think to myself - well, they added a new share but didn't
link it to the original 4 servers in any way, so I'll say answer d, it
doesn't satisfy any requirement. They say the answer is A, it satisfies all
requirements! Aargh!
so, anyone else tried this book and found it bad, or is it me?!

OT: ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
As we all know, one of the drawbacks about being computer-savvy is that you
end up being tech support for the entire family. Case in point: my wife's
uncle.
A few months ago, he bought a laptop to get online, play some chess, etc. So
far, so good. He, unfortunately, is one of those people who thinks he knows
everything about everything, and computers are no exception. Here are some
of Uncle Karl's Greatest Hits:
1. He wanted to download Volksmusik (think lederhosen and accordions). He
claimed Microsoft had a filesharing program. He was referring to Windows
Media Player.
2. He calls IE "Google" because that's his start page. We asked him to start
his browser and to start IE, and he had no idea what we were talking about.
3. His laptop came with an alleged anti-virus program preinstalled. It was
called "Norman". Not "Norton", "Norman". Needless to say, the virus defs
were never updated. My wife, my stepdaughter and I started getting tons of
virus (Netsky) e-mails, all originating from his ISP. The common thread:
we're all in his OE address book. In addition, he said his computer was
running painfully slow. Putting 2+2 together, I explained he most likely had
a virus. He said -- repeatedly -- "no...that's impossible...I ran a virus
scan and it said there were no viruses" (see my statement about virus defs
in the previous sentence).
He was coming down to Dortmund to visit people (he lives about 2 hours from
here), so I told him to bring it down and let me look at it. (One advantage
of this strategy is that it gets me out of actually having to deal with
him.) He brought the laptop...without the power adapter...with ~58% of
battery life. I installed AVG on the laptop, and within a second of starting
it up, it started finding infected files...more viruses than a Mexican
brothel. After all was said and done, there were over 2800 files infected.
Since I was under time constraints due to the battery situation, I didn't
use the newest defs at that point, but the ones I had weren't THAT old. At
this point the battery died, so I gave it back to him to bring home. I
figured I'd take care of the rest of the work (rescanning with new defs,
installing/running spyware detectors) via Remote Support. We finally got
connected...after 11 attempts at getting him to follow the correct sequence
of instructions. Afterwards, all was well.
4. Last night, he had a problem logging into his ISP's website to check out
his account information (https). He kept getting an error page. Here was
his thought as to why: "I haven't logged into the site for a while. I know
computers have all these fine electronics in them. Maybe they needed to get
used to the website again."
Thank $Deity my wife's German is much better than mine (after all, she IS
German). She gets the pleasure of handling most of Uncle Karl's calls
(especially since I have a bitch of a time trying to understand his
dialect). After last night's episode, my wife suddenly developed the
1000-yard stare that any of us that have ever done hell desk know all so
well. I thought it was hilarious and started laughing, because I've been
there and done that, and because it's HER side of the family and not mine.
We were eating dinner, and I was a bit frightened by the way she was holding
her knife. I gently backed away from the table.
He's taking a Computers for Seniors class at the local Volkshochschule
(think community college/adult learning center). I wonder if any teachers
have committed seppuku.

ttl value when ping...
Hi there,
When I ping, for example www.cjman.com it returns a ttl value of 119. If I
ping www.gallaudet.edu, it returns a value of 50.
I have my Server 2003 set up and the DNS always returns a DNS value of 128.
I've gone and dickered with the TTL in the "A" records for the server, but
nothing can change it.
It is active directory integrated, but I am not sure if that has anything to
do with it.
How can I change the TTL value?

Exchange exercises
I have the MSPress 70-224 book on Exchange 2000.
I installed Exchange 2000 Server on my W2k 2000 Server machine. The
book says that Outlook 2000 is included on the CD, but the CD label
doesn't say this, and I don't see it anywhere in the CD files. So I
installed Outlook 2000 on my workstation from my copy of MS Office
2000 instead. Is it supposed to be on the CD??
I did the first exercise exactly as described, several times, but I
don't know enough about Exchange to be able to figure this out. The
exercise involves sending an email to an invalid address in another
domain, and using offline operation so that I have to poll the server
to send or receive.
I receive no bounced messages. I did send an email to an invalid
recipient in my own domain and got a bounce message immediately
(without having to poll again), but repeated polling doesn't bring up
any bounce message notification for the email sent to an invalid
address in another domain.
Any ideas? Did MS leave out some critical configuration information in
the book necessary for this to happen?

Semi-OT: Lusers
So, I just got a phone call from the AR manager. We got a new printer, and
it's been giving us all sorts of trouble. To set up a mailbox as default
behavior for the printer, the logged-in user must have administrative
priveleges on whatever machine they're logged into. This, my friends, is not
ideal. But, whatever, I didn't buy the stuff, I'm only working with what
I've got. So anyway, I get a call from her. We'll call her, oh "Kristen"
(because I swear, that's *not* her name....). Kristen wants to be set up
with a mailbox, so when she prints, the printer doesn't spit out whatever
mumbo-jumbo she's trying to print today. So I tell her to leave her computer
on instead of turning it off tonight, and I'll do it before I go home. No
big deal. No sooner had I hung up with her than the phone rings again. Yeah,
Kristen again.
"Ken, do you need my password to set up my mailbox?"
"Yeah, I do, but I have a list here. Don't worry about it."
"Oh, alright then. But if you need it, it's on a sticky pad under my
keyboard."
*Chuckle*
"Is that funny? Am I not supposed to do that?"
"Well, no, not really. I mean, it's not that big a problem here, but whereas
you're the manager, you must have sensitive information on your computer,
right? And you probably don't want too many people getting their paws all
over it."
"Well, yeah, I gue-"
"I suggest you memorize your password, instead of looking at it every
morning when you log in. That way, no one can break into your computer."
"Oh, I know my password, I have it memorized. I just keep it under my
keyboard so Janet can use my computer if I'm not here!"
*Chuckles again* "Kristen, Janet can use her username and password when she
logs in to your computer, ya know. The usernames and passwords aren't
specific to each computer."
"Wait, are you saying that everyone has the same username and password? That
doesn't make much sense, and it doesn't seem very secure."
"No. I'm saying that everyone has a unique username and password, but every
user *could*, theoretically, log in at someone else's computer. For
situations like you and Janet."
"Oh. So, when can you set up my mailbox?"
"I...just.....here, tell me what time you're leaving this afternoon and I'll
set it up when you're done for the day."
"OK, I'm leaving in 5 minutes, have a good night!"
*sigh* "You too, Kristen."
Ugh.

My Logic: If you've been denied Read, you certainly can't Read&Execute or
