    - Security patches(839645, 841872)having issues when ran in a batch Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a fix for the issue I am having? My issue is when security patches(839645, 841872) are applied while using them in a batch file it comes up with this error(The drive is not ready for use: its door may be open. Please check drive E: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed.) This only becomes an issue when the workstation has a Zip drive installed, but if you run the patches individually they run as advertised. I know this sounds confusing, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this before or could help me out. Thank you Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57375

    - critical update 839643 On about 7 June 04, Microsoft started offering CRITICAL UPDATE KB 839643. Everytime I try to install it, I get a setup error, " Setup cannot continue because one or more pre-requisites ... failed. Well, long story short, Microsoft has a KB 870560 which explains this very error and the RESOLUTION is go download the same update and try to reinstall it again !! And you'll get the same error again and again. If you go to MS04-016 and carefully follow the instructions, Microsoft again Fixes this error by having to download the update again !!! This is an INFINITE LOOP ! NON - SENSE !!! Can't they just talk in plain English ?? Why do we get this error applying a CRITICAL UPDATE ???? Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57369

    - SpyBot 1.3 Automation Issues I am trying to automate Spybot 1.3 to run automatically but cannot get the commandline parameters to do what they state they do. I basically schedule the spybotsd.exe /autoupdate /autocheck /autoclose /autofix /autosilent /nocancel but I can't get it to automatically close. I schedule the job as "Local administrator" and it runs but when it is finished it keeps coming up with a confirmation box and I need to hit OK. If I run the same scheduled task logged into the Domain as another user none of the dialogs pop up as they do when I am logged in as Local Administrator and the most frustrating thing is that the process just runs forever and never ends! (The domain user I login as has been added to the local admin group). What I'm basically trying to accomplish is to create an image on a pc that I'm going to roll out to 40 different domain users with spybot already configured to run, update, and close automatically without the user having to ever interact with it. Is anyone having the same problem as me or more importantly can anyone offer a suggestion as to why this isn't working correctly. Thanks a lot in advance. Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57318

    - Recent Security Updates Has anyone had a problem with services not starting after the installation of the latest security updates of July 14th 2004. I have resolved the issue on my local machine but still have a server with issues. I have not found any articles from MS stating advers effects to the updates. My local SQL Server sevice(Using NT Authentication) failed to start after the update and reboot. My SQL Server box that uses SQL Authentication was fine. I had to reset the password for the login account on the MS SQLSERVICES Service in the services panel and then it was OK. Would like to know what this effected and why so when we do corporate wide updates we can be ready with a fix. or even better yet MS fixes it first.

    - Administrator Read Only Is there a way to give a user all the priviliges to look at anything an Administrator can see, but prevent him from making any changes. In my case, we're hiring a security guy whose job will be to look for security flaws, but not to change anything. Among other things, he'll need to run MBSA on the domain, see group policies and event logs, and audit file and folder permissions. Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57303

    - CreateProcessAsUser (error A required privilege is not held by the client) Hello, I want to do something similar but I have problems with CreateProcessAsUser function. It always returns me 1314 error code (A required privilege is not held by the client). What I really want to is give more privileges to current process. I'll explain. I'm developing a service setup and it needs to call net start and other things. It should be able to install the service under no administrator users, so I use, first of all, LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser to convert current process to privileged process. This part goes well and let me extract files in Program Files folder and write on LocalMachine registry entry. I tried to use ShellExecute to call "net start service_name" but it didn't go well. I read that impersonate token is not inherit by new processes, so ShellExecute took unprivileged token on its creation. I think that the solution is CreateProcessAsUser to call "net start service_name" but when I execute it, the result is 1314 error code (A required privilege is not held by the client), as I said. I'm very glad if anyone can help me. This is the part of code that I use to do everything: bool ActionsUserAuth(bool bControlActived) { bool bUserAuth = false; TCHAR szUsername[MAXSTRINGLEN]; TCHAR szDomain[MAXSTRINGLEN]; TCHAR szPassword[MAXSTRINGLEN]; HANDLE hToken; HANDLE hAdminUser; //bool bExit = false; //int iTry = 0; ClsTokenPrivileges TokenInfo; bExit = false; bControlActived = true; if (bControlActived) { bUserAuth = (IsCurrentUserLocalAdministrator() == TRUE); bUserAuth = false; if ((bUserAuth) && (bDebugMode)) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: administrator privileges")); else Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: non administrator privileges")); memset(szUsername, 0, sizeof(szUsername)); memset(szDomain, 0, sizeof(szDomain)); memset(szPassword, 0, sizeof(szPassword)); //while ((!bUserAuth) && (iTry < 3)) //{ if (!DlgUserAuth(szUsername, szDomain, szPassword)) { bExit = true; if (bDebugMode) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: User authentication dialog failed")); return false; } if (!RevertToSelf()) { if (bDebugMode) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: Revert To Self")); return false; } // Get the current process token handle... if( !OpenProcessToken( GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken )) return false; if (!SetPrivilege(hToken, SE_TCB_NAME, true)) return false; if (LogonUser(szUsername, szDomain, szPassword, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hAdminUser)) bUserAuth = true; else bUserAuth = false; /* if (!bUserAuth) { if (!bSilentMode) { MessageBox(NULL, Diccionary->Get(TEXT("IDS_USERAUTH_ERROR")), Diccionary->Get(TEXT("IDS_GEN_CAPTIONERROR")), MB_OK); } } else*/ if (bUserAuth) { if (!ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hAdminUser)) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Inpersonate Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); ///////////////////////////////////////////////// if (DuplicateTokenEx(hAdminUser, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED, 0, SecurityImpersonation, TokenPrimary, &hAdminPriv) == 0) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("duplicate token Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } TCHAR szRes[MAXSTRINGLEN]; STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); //my_strcpy(szRes, TEXT("C:\\Archivos de programa\\Inquiero Installable ISD\\prova.exe")); my_strcpy(szRes, TEXT("\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\prova\\Escritorio\\prova.exe\"")); TokenInfo.DisplayInformation(TEXT("C:\\token.info")); if (!CreateProcessAsUser(hAdminPriv, NULL, szRes, NULL, NULL, TRUE, IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi)) { TCHAR szError[MAXSTRINGLEN]; wsprintf(szError, TEXT("%d"), GetLastError()); MessageBox(NULL, szError, TEXT(""), MB_OK); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////// CloseHandle(hAdminUser); } // iTry++; //} if (!bUserAuth) return false; } return true; } Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57292

    - Updates slow down Windows XP & download speeds Hello all: I am having the same issues with Mac OSX. I have high speed cable and contantly acheive speeds of 260k per second download speeds on an unpatched XP pro machine. On my other machine, I installed all of the updates. As with OSX, windows I have found has taken a massive performance hit as a result of all of the security updates applied. On the same cable these speeds dwindle down to only 50-60k per second. I cannot find any threads or support pertaining to this issue. It appears that performance on these platforms is being sacraficed for security. Any ideas...? Thanx.

    - What is a valid digital certificate for a file? Hi. When I checked the digital certificate for file "EXCEL.EXE", I saw "Valid from 3/29/01 to 5/29/02". Today is 7/14/2004. If it is a certificate on Apache server, it will say "This certificate has expired." But Windows told me "This certificate is OK." How can it be possible to be OK? After I renamed the file "EXCEL.EXE" to "EXCEL123.EXE", it still says "This certificate is OK." The certificate protects software from alteration after publication. If the filename is changed, is that an alteration? If I signed a DLL with a certificate and renamed it, the DLL file's certificate will be OK, but there is no way to use it as before. Please let me know the true meaning of digital certificate. Thank you, Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57276

    - DOS Exploit Using Spybot Search and Destroy, I have repeatedly encountered what is labeled a Data Source Object Exploit. The fix temporarily removes the DOS Exploit, but it returns, despite my attempts to manually remove it in the Registry at: HKEY USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\Zones. There are four Zones in mine. The 1004 value highlights and I have removed all four several times without success. Based on information provided by Spybot S & D, I understand that a security hole in Internet Explorer is allowing websites to execute code without my permission. Today, I had to remove a trojan horse: Download/Ware. I do not know if there is a connection. I do know, however, that I have had to remove considerably more adware and spyware since I discovered the problem with the DOS Exploit. On article I read suggested renaming the 1004's to 1003's. I am wondering if the zones may safely be deleted in there entirety? Is there a fix, other than going to a different browser? My system information follows.

Today, Wednesday, June 14, 2004, I downloaded the new security updates that I get via IE Browser updates. After I finished with the updates, and rebooted, I happened to look inside my McaFee Firewall listings for "Manage programs you access on the Internet", and I noticed this: Microsoft Help Center Hosting Server [5.1.26000.0 Blocked I never did it, and I removed the this whole listing.

    - bridge.dll HELP! I was was cleaning up a pc for a friend and got everthing in order, except when Adaware removed some things, it did not totally get rid of bridge.dll. I also ran a scan with Spybot, it removed a bunch of stuff too, but not the bridge.dll. The pc is a Sony Viao running XP.When you log on as one of the users, you get a rundll error message stating that it can't find bridge.dll. I did find one web site through a Google search advertising a bridge.dll removal tool. When you access the web site you download the the product and you could do a free scan, but then you would have to pay to use the cleaning tool. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you for your help!! Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57208

    - Bank Frauds There is a new scam out there now. Be very careful when your bank emails you purporting to be you bank's security office and asking you to verify information regarding your account. They look very real but you are playing into their hands by responding in any way. No bank will ask you for your private information in response to their request. You can call your bank at the number shown on your statement if you want to check. Don't do anything on line in response to their request. -- Regards, Werner quincey.nyc@nospam.verizon.net Remove "Nospam" when e-mailing --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - DCOM error message "Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server using DefaultLaunchPermssion." I got this error message in the event viewer when I tried to open up a RoboHelp help window inside my application. The story is that I integrate the RoboHelp Context Sensitive Help API to our shop's Visual Studio C# .net application. All users become 'anonymous' after they login in our application. When the user clicks on the 'help' buttom, the DCOM error message showed up in the event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Kathy Tag: CRITICAL UPDATES RE-APPEAR Tag: 57180

    - Trusted Root CA question Let's say I have certs being Issued by 'TheCompany'. Then I have said 'thecompany' in my list of Trusted Root CAs. Regardless of who it was issued to, as long as it was issued by 'thecompany' it will not popup the security warning because I trust the root correct?
