    - Access 2000 Multi User I have Access 2000 running on a network with four stations connected to the server, each station has a copy of the software. When more than one user tries to access the application we receive an error that says she/he doesn't have exculsive rights. And when I look at the directory and file at that time there is a 'lock' icon on the file. I looked at the individual security parameters by station, but don't see anything that looks like it would prevent access by all users in a multi-user enviorement. Could this be at the server security level and the individual stations problem? Thanks Tag: pop ups Tag: 44713

    - Passfilt.dll on NT Server 4.0 H Just read about the use of passfilt.dll to enforce users to use strong passwords. Does anyone know if we set our DC's to use this dll will it effect the users existing passwords or will it just take effect the next time the users are required to change their passwords??? I don't want to cobble exting logins to the domain! Thanks in advance. Tag: pop ups Tag: 44711

    - Internet Explorer Today I received a message from Internet Explorer(I have received these before without a problem) in a blue box which said that an error had been received and that the computer had to be closed down. It then gave two boxes; one said 'send error report' and the other said 'don't send'. I then chose one of the boxes and closed down the machine. I think that the error I made was to close down the machine myself rather than let the software do it! Anyway, I cannot get rid of this box and everytime I turn the computer on and try and try and get on the internet by using Internet Explorer the same message is received. I have pressed the request boxes to both send and don't a report and nothing changes. Will someone please tell me what to do. Many thanks. Tag: pop ups Tag: 44707

    - Architecture for multiple servers Hi All, I am about to upgrade our NT 4.0 servers with 2003 servers. I anticipate that I will have either 3 or 4 servers operational. One will be for Exchange, one for Oracle, one for Terminal Server connections, and a fourth for File sharing and storage. I may be able to squeeze the file storage to the Terminal Server, but not sure. Anyway, our current architecture is: public IP to Nortel Contivity box for VPN access public IP to NIC1 in exchange server private IP to NIC2 in exchange server exchange server performing proxy et al to the local network I would like to make this more secure. First, and foremost, I understand that by default 2003 server IIS is MUCH better than 4.0 was. My question is: should I have a hardware firewall put in place, and route the traffic based on ports? Should I have 2 NICs in the new exchange server? I want to do this one right, since I had no say in the original NT system we are currently using. Thanks for any input! Jerry Tag: pop ups Tag: 44656

    - Malicious Script HelpCtr.Exe Running WinXP Home I hope someone will bear with me and read this. It sounds complicated I guess, but I have tried to pare it down to just a few words and that just won't work. And if anyone has a better idea than reformatting and reinstalling I would be SO grateful for the advice. Problem began with a sudden drastic decline in dial-up connection speed. Initially blamed my ISP, pretty much cursed them out over a couple of day. (I have since apologized!) After updating VirusScan and SpyBot, which I routinely do anyway, and finding no problems there. I started the modem troubleshooter. Should have begun there. Several pages into the troubleshooter I get a Norton Warning Window that there is a Malicious Script HelpCtr.Exe and recommends that I block it. It does not offer to quarantine it. I delete it. It has no effect. I have script blocking on as a default, but it appears not to have caught this. I do a search on the file name. I come up with 3 exact matches, and one additional match with an extended string following the extension. They are as follows: helpctr.exe in C:\WINDOWD\$NtServicePackUninstall$ Aug/18/2001 helpctr.exe in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles|i386 Aug/29/2002 helpctr.exe in C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\binaries Aug/29/2002 HELPCTR.EXE-0BD5B31B.pf in C:\WINDOWS\prefetch Current date All capitals are exactly as shown in the search result window. The first three files appear to be legitimate. Their age and the properties screen which says Microsoft is the origin lead me to believe they are legitimate. So I assumed the last one, with the long string followed by .pf was the culprit. So I deleted it. No effect. If I disconnect and reconnect, it is at the same low speed, and the trouble shooter finds the script again. Rebooting does the same thing. Went through this several times. Same result (non-result?) (I also deleted ALL of them at one time,I got warnings of possible instability which I ignored, But doing so immediately affected everything! From mouse clicks to keyboard function! So I restored them and rebooted!) Obviously (to me) something unknown is regenerating this file! It is this I must find! Anyone having a clue what is causing this? In the last 2 days some other odd things have occurred which I will not detail here, but it leads me to logically assume that whatever is invading my system has more nasty things to do than just slowing down my internet connection. I did a search on Google/groups and there are literally thousands of entries dealing with problems with HelpCtr.exe, all of them seemingly affecting a different aspect of Windows. Some can't print. some can't network, and on and on. Looked it up on Symantec's page, got three hits, none of which related in any way to my situation. (And Norton, BTW, no longer supports a TWO YEAR OLD version of AntiVirus. And even if you qualify for support they do not offer support to get rid of a problem. Only support is for installation and general use of the program. Have used Norton for 10 years. Never again. End of rant) The basic support from Dell is to Back up data, reformat and re install. I'm at the point that I might be willing to do it BUT here's at least one problem with that: If something is generating this malicious script how am I to determine what is safe to backup and what is not. Just backing it all up does not make any sense to me. I hope I have not lost your interest by going on too long and that all of this makes some sense. Hopefully Grape Crusher Tag: pop ups Tag: 44579

I am generating client certificates using win2k3 Certificate Services. After creating the certificate, I export it using public/private key pair into .pfx. file. I then import it to client machine personal store. In the personal node there are now 2 certificates. I am assuming it is a public client certificate and public CA certificate. Where does the private key get stored? If it is stored in some hidden place, how can I check what private keys have been imported to date? How can I delete them?

    - Someone using my MSN ID and email ? I cannot say for sure, but I usually get a good 30-40 emails per day with about 5-8 being Spam, the others are alot of Microsoft newsletters and other computer newsletters and then about 5 real emails. This number very rarely varies more then just a few. On a couple of times logging in over the last few weeks, I have gotten maybe 5 emails altogether and have had friends say they email me, but I never received the email. This has never been a problem on MSN except years ago when a "friend" found my login info and was diverting mail. I just changed the password again, (last time that helped for about 10 days) and so far....at least for the last few days I am back to receiving my normal emails. However over the last week (before I changed the password again) there was a very large drop in the emails that I received. Is there anyway to get basically a "log on file" from MSN that would show what IP's people used to logon to my account ? This would at least limit the people that might have access to the email. Not sure if this is something for Microsoft Privacy or Security or what. The general customer service just give me thee pre-canned message to change your password often. The last password I used was a long one (about 18 characters) and I do not know any other way around this. Any ideas out there as this is something I really do not like very much !

    - Auto login question I have a Media Center PC set up on a home network with other XP Pro PCs. In terms of sharing files and printers, I have found that I need to create accounts with the identical names/passwords on each computer. I have also found that using a blank password on both sides of connection doesn't seem to allow sharing to work very well. So, on my Media Center PC I need to create a password for the primary account in order to be able to access the printer on another one of my PCs. However, I do *not* want to have to type in a password every time I turn on the TV a.k.a my Media Center PC. So is there a way to have an account with a password but still get an automatic login? Or perhaps there is a way to make the Windows networking or security not be so picky about blank passwords? -- Keith Tag: pop ups Tag: 44507
