    - Microsoft Certification Authority Hi All, Just curious about something in the Microsoft Certification authority; I have a number of issued certificates that are expired or are nearing expiration, is it possible to renew the issued certificates (and how do i go about doing this? Any good articles/walkthroughs?). What I want to avoid is having to reissue the certificates to each of the clients. Is this possible? or will I have to generate new certificates and distribute them to my end users again? TIA J Brown Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84552

    - systemprocess locks port 21 Hi, everyone, I have to following problem: After starting the remotedesktopserver on an win2000-system the port 21 ist locked by process System:8 (found with tcpview.) The IIS runs on that machine, but the FTP-component is not installed. There is no suspicious process (other then windows) running, there is no traffic on port 21 and a telnet-login on port 21 is not possible. Any idea? Thanks in progress. Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84535

    - Security feature in Microsoft's new Windows (Vista) could drive users nuts "SEATTLE - An annoying surprise awaits 2 million consumers expected to enthusiastically step forward in the next few weeks to help Microsoft test its new Windows Vista PC operating system. Volunteers will test Vista Beta 2, a near-final version of the much-hyped upgrade of Windows. The testing is the last step leading up to Vista's broad consumer release, scheduled for January. Beta 2 testers can expect to encounter an obtrusive security feature, called User Account Control (UAC). Designed to prevent intruders from performing harmful tasks, the feature grays out the computer screen, then prods you to confirm that you really want to do certain functions. In early test versions, the queries crop up so often that they interrupt routine tasks, such as changing the time clock or deleting shortcuts. And UAC sometimes triggers an endless loop of dialogue boxes that can be curtailed only by rebooting, says Paul Thurrott, news editor of Windows IT Pro magazine." http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-05-15-vista-security_x.htm?csp=34 -- Imhotep Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84526

    - SBS FTP service getting slammed. We have a low IT budget. I am using FTP to backup remote computers. Someone discovered my FTP service was opened and has been hitting me with 10's of thousands break-in attempts. Usually trying the administrator user. They will probably not figure out the user name, because I have changed the admin username, but it is almost everyday. Yesterday they tried the username of "Julian" Go figure. The police here won't do anything. Neither will my ISP. Any ideas? Thanks! Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84512

    - File permissions screwed up Hello all, I copied a data structure from folder on my server to another, using the xcopy /t command. Example "xcopy /t c:\data c:\share". Now it seems that whenever I try to assign permissions to those folders (c:\share), it tells me "access is denied". I'm trying to assign 3 different user groups access to the folder. 2 user groups need Full Access, the last group is read-only. As long as I'm the administrator on the server, I can create a file within the folder. Once I go to the workstation, no joy. Even if I sign on as Administrator, I can't create a file on that directory. It's like it killed all network access to the folder. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

    - Remote Windows User List Disclosure Vulnerability Hi everybody, We use a tool that audit our servers in order to avoid vulnerabilities.I=B4ve a DC w2003 with the following vulnerability: Remote Windows User List Disclosure Vulnerability. That means that a null session connection to the IPC$ share was successful and NetBIOS access can be obtained with any authenticated account on that host. Therefore unauthorized users can steal the remote user list. This kind of attack is commonly exploited by users with weak passwords, such as the GUEST account. Microsoft has published this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;246261 The values for w2000 and w2003 are different. I=B4ve read that in w2003 in order to restrict anonymous you can only use 0 for disable and 1 for enable it. Meanwhile, in windows 2000 you have one more possible value, 2. Anyway, I=B4ve try to set it to 1 or 2 without success. I=B4ve also disabled the posibility of enumerate sam accounts and shares trought the domain controller security policy. After restarting the server I obtain again the vulnerability in that server. Any idea about this issue? Your help would be much appreciated, Regards.

    - Use of CCleaner - I was recommended the use of CCleaner as a fine way to clean my computer. This is clearly a thorough tool - in fact so throrough that my bank account portal has erased all links to my other banks accounts. (I have a prgram supplied by my Credit card co which allows me to link to all my other bank accounts (i.e. retails the passwords etc.)). Which option on CCleaner do I disapply to allow my computer to retain these deatils on my PC? I don't really want to insert multiple details every time I wish to view my finances. Can anyone assist please? Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84481

    - netstat showing too many connections LISTENING When I run "netstat -a" on my server, it shows lots of open connections (like EM_SVR1.co_name.com:0) in the LISTENING state. These connections seem to stay open, and keeps increasing over time, and the application soon fails because it cannot get any more ports! After a couple of days, I have pages and pages of this listing. Just typing netstat or using gui tools such as tcpview does not show all these connections. I need to figure out how to make sure these connections eventually go away, and the application does not fail. The PID of these connections show that it is my application that owns/initiated the connections. Any help or pointers is greatly appreciated.

    - Take Ownership of Multiple files at once Hello- We just installed a new server and on the old server we had a directory of photos that only two users had access to, myself (admin) and our lab tech. These permissions were assigned via NTFS. Now that I have put the drive in the new server it is not allowing me to do anything with the files as no one on this local computer has any security permissions for it. I can manually take ownership of folders and files with the admin rights I have on the server but there are over 450 photos in there and it would seem rediculous to have to do them individually. I have gone into the security/advanced tab of the parent folder and trield clicking the check box to "Replace permissions entries on all child objercts with entries shown here that apply to child objects" but it wont let me because there are no rights to the photos so it says access is denied. Is there any way I can take ownership of all of those files all at once in order to reassign proper permissions? I tried the obvious of selecting them all and going to the security tab but that is not available for muliple selected objects it states. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    - Exchange/Cisco VPN client failing I have a WinXP Pro w/Outlook 2003 laptop trying to connect through a Cisco VPN 4.0.5 to the Exchange server. This connection is initiated via a D-link wireless access point. I seem to be having trouble resolving DNS, getting through the firewall, or authenticating to the Exchange server. Outlook gets stuck in "trying to connect". It only seems to be problematic from this one location, so perhaps it's a firewall port I'm missing...although I've followed all D-link instructions for enabling this Cisco client at http://support.dlink.com/SupportFAQ/default.asp?model=DI%2D624 Closest I've come to solving this is using the following KB article tells me that MS04-11 update may create this problem, but I can't uninstall it as it appears to have come with SP2 or another roll-up.

If I use a password made up of ordinary characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) with no specials then how many characters do I need to use to make AES 256 uncrackable by a brute force attack?

    - Enabling the administrator to have access to redirected folders I'm having trouble with Article ID: 288991 "Enabling the administrator to have access to redirected folders" The directions work just fine for users that have never had their folders redirected, but the process generally fails for users that have had their folders previously redirected. For existing redirected folders, I change the GPO to send the folders back to the users local profile (and Remote User Profile). I then take ownership (as an Administrator) of the old redirected folder and delete it at the %username% folder. I then change the users GPO back to folder redirection and the folders do move as I would expect. The problem however still remains in that I as an Administrator still can't access the redirected folders. On a rare occasion, this process does work for prior redirected folders but I still have several users that it does not work on. When it does work, it usually requires a few days between sending the folders back to the local and then redirecting them back to the redirected folder. I've tried gpudate on the server and workstation and even shut everything down several times, but I still have the same problem. Any ideas what might be wrong? I have Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard & XP Pro clients. -- Thanks, Bob -- Bob Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84323

    - Microsoft patches Windows, Exchange flaws... "Microsoft released fixes on Tuesday for two sets of flaws in its Windows operating system and another two vulnerabilities in the software giant's Exchange mail server, security issues which could allow a worm to propagate between vulnerable systems, security experts warned. A critically-ranked patch addresses two flaws in Windows that affect the Macromedia Flash player from Adobe, a plugin that ships with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 browser, and could allow remote code execution, the software giant said in its bulletin. The other patch, which is rated moderate for severity, fixes two flaws in the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) that could be used to cause a denial-of-service, the software giant stated." http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/207?ref=rss Imhotep Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84293

    - McAfee Firewall and network Hi. Configuration: wall socket from cable company, from wall socket to modem a connection by cable. From modem cable to router, in the same room. Receiving computer with wireless adapter is in different room. No other PC's or networked devices are connected. I was advised by McAfee that I should choose for the firewall for the option: "trust home network". (ok, not perfect translation, because the software is in Dutch). But if I do that, will that not make me less safe ? I should also add that the router has a built-in firewall, but an imperfect one. Not port everything is stealthed (as recommended on www.grc.com, Zonealarm firewall is recommended on that site for it's unique stealth capabilities (as opposed to just keep a port open or closed)). But I can't use Zonealarm because it affects my wireless connection in a bad way and because basically the hardware and/or software of my ISP doesn't like Zonealarm. I'd also like to add that I use WPA-PSK for communication between my router and my PC. Also, I have given the router a non-standard login and and complicated passport. But my main question is: should I have the McAfee firewall trust the "home network" or am I better off not doing that. An explanation why would help :) Thanks. Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84292

    - AD accounts and wireless, VPN, Cisco ACS I have students and staff AD accounts. Students should be allowed to access wireless (Cisco LEAP). Staff accounts should be allowed to access VPN and wireless. Both Student and Staff Active Directory accounts have the option "Dial-in" tab set to "Allow". Problem: Since that option "Allow" is enabled, students could install and launch VPN client and get connected thru VPN. I don't want that. Question: What would be the best way to create a policy to allow the access to wireless, not VPN ?

    - AcquireCredentials problem running inside iis I have a website in IIS which has been configured to run with Windows Authentication and I have <identity impersonate="true" /> in my web.config. I know that my configuration works correctly as when I look at the identity under which the thread is running I can see that it is the user's account. My aim is to generate a security token to authenticate the user against one of our single-sign-on(SSO) servers(written in-house). I am using the SSPI samples (Microsoft Security SSPI Classes) which I downloaded from your website to generate tokens in order to perform an sspi authentication with our SSO server. The problem I have is that when a user logs on although the thread in iis seems to run under the user's account, the SSPI call seems to generate credentials for 'anonymous user'. When I log on from the machine where iis is running (and I am the interactive user), the token is generated with my details. Which is the correct behaviour. When I log on from another machine where I am the interactive user ( and iis is still running on the original machine where I am the interactive user ) the token seems to be generated for 'anonymous user'. Is there a way I can get the call to AcquireCredentials and subsequently to InitializeSecurityContext to yield a token relating to the currently logged on user. This is the signature for acquireCredentials: SECURITY_STATUS sResult = AcquireCredentialsHandle( NULL, // [in] name of principal. NULL = principal of current security context pszPackageName, // [in] name of package fCredentialUse, // [in] flags indicating use. pszLogonID, // [in] pointer to logon identifier. NULL = we're not specifying the id of another logon session NULL, // [in] package-specific data. NULL = default credentials for security package NULL, // [in] pointer to GetKey function. NULL = we're not using a callback to retrieve the credentials NULL, // [in] value to pass to GetKey this->credentialHandle, // [out] credential handle (this must be already allocated) &tsExpiry // [out] lifetime of the returned credentials ); Initially (for the above described symptoms), instead of pszlogonid there was a null being passed in. I have tried to pass in an SID and even the logoin session id (luid) but this causes the function to return -2146893050 which i'm pretty sure is SEC_E_NOT_OWNER. I get this error now, on the iis machine as well as the remote machine. Is there something i am missing here? Can anyone help? Who shot J.R?

    - Password dialog window popping up Beginning yesterday, I've got a dialog window popping up whenever I browse to a new web page. It's happening with both Mozilla Firefox and Nestcape browsers (sorry MS). This window requests username and password for random odd web addresses. As an example, when I browsed to this newsgroup starting with the Microsoft home page, every page I clicked through to get here popped up with the following: 'Please enter username and password for [empty quotation marks] at http://global.msads.net' . Trying to play it safe, I've been closing the windows using alt-F4 rather than clicking on their cancel buttons to avoid the ol' button switcheroo trick. As I said, I've never seen these before yesterday, it's been forever since I've seen a popup window at all. As for my sys config, I'm running XP SP2, Zone Labs ZoneAlarm firewall, AVG free edition anti-virus, Spybot S&D with the IE resident and TeaTimer resident activated, AdAware SE, Spysweeper with all shields activated, CWShredder and HijackThis. I scan my sys regularly with Spysweeper, AdAware, CWShredder and HijackThis, along with the spyware scanner built into Netscape browser. All these apps, along with XP, are current and updated. Scans today with AdAware, Spybot S&D, CWShredder and HijackThis came up empty. Any info or assistance with this shucking fullbit would be immensely appreciated.

    - Uable to save changes to Group Policy I have posted in this in several groups, no responses. Trying again! See previous posts below. Since I posted the last time, I have done a "repair" install of Server 2k3 complete with all updates etc. Recreated the domain, same issue. On a second server, i created a new/different domain, same issue. I have repeatedly tried resetting permissions/ownership/etc, no effect on the problem I am certain this issue is related to the Symantec AV V10.0.2 as I have another new out of the box unit with R2 which has never had SAV installed, no issues there. I am sure this is an early detection of a problem that will be plaguing R2 users as I see it posted through out the newsgroups and have yet to see a resolution. So any suggestions/fixes would be greatly appreciated. I am on my way to formatting and reinstalling on three brand new servers as a result. While I have that luxery in the lab I am sure there are many in a production environment who dont. ORIGINAL POSTS: I have seen numerous posts regarding this issue, no real answers. My scenero: Three new Windows 2003 Servers Standard Edition R2. Lab environment, everything fresh. the only setups done are basic domain and active directory and entering users. Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10.0 installed but disabled. One server is PDC, others are BDC and connected by VPN (again, lab environment with VPN up and running.) All seems to work well. Settings replicate properly, licenses replicate properly. No real issues other than when trying to set GPO, the following error occurs: "group policy snapin was unable to save your changes due to the following error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". I have read post after post and tried all the suggestions given (which were few) but none has helped. I thought perhaps replication between the servers was the issue, but shutting down the BDCs does not effect the situation. If i go to D:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\mydomain.local\Policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}\MACHINE\Microsoft\Windows NT\SecEdit\GptTmpl.inf and edit the file manually, it still does not let me save returning an error saying it cannot create the file followed by the full path. I have reset permissions, ownership, all to no avail. Any responses greatly appreciated! UPDATE: I spoke with Symantec support today, found v10.0.2 of SAV Corp. is not compatible and is problematic when used with Windows server 2003 R2. I removed SAV from all three servers, removed the domain controller roll from all three and recreated the domain on the primary server. I still have the above error when trying to change GPO. In removing the rolls, it seems there are numerous problems created by installing the SAV V10.0.2 BEWARE!! At this point it looks as if I will have to start from scratch, format and reninstall. Any suggestions guys?? I really do not want to go through the process of reloading 3 servers! THANKS~~!! Tag: Backup utility Tag: 84242
