    - AzMan with 2000 mixed DC We are deploying an application which uses AzMan, with the store in AD, and have just discovered that it won't work with the production DC which is Windows 2000 in "mixed" mode. For AzMan to work it has to be a Windows 2003 "native" mode which is not possible as there are Unix machines in the domain. We need to preserve the windows authentication capabilities in AzMan, against users and groups in the existing (windows 2000 mixed) domain. Would a separate Win2003 domain with trust relationship to the primary domain be a solution? If so would users need to be replicated to the Win2003 DC? Can anyone suggest other alternatives?

The following article explains this and gives suggestions on a resolution. However the article talks about topics missing not the content pages not displaying. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054 When I copy the file from the network drive to the local desktop the chm file opens fine and displays correctly.

    - Impersonating accounts Hi, I am logged into Windows as User A and running a service under Local System account. This service is trying to find a certificate that is in the user store (not the local machine store). To search for the certificate, I assume I have to impersonate the user (User A) programmatically. The impersonation functions are returning successfully and I am able to find the certificate. However, the problem is that although the impersonation functions are working, they do not load the registry hive for User A. So if I am logged in to Windows as User B (or even logged out), the certificate searching fails. How can I programmatically load the registry hive for a specific user? Thanks, Mat.

    - Tracking Hi, I was at the Infotech security show in London today, where I saw a HUGE variety of anti-hacker, anti-virus, anti-phishing etc etc ad infinitum, programs. These program vendors told how these products could detect intrusion and stop it. Detect patterns of use and stop advers patterns. Stop viruses and trojans and spyware etc etc. But imagine that you are a corporate who relies on trade worldwide in a sector where all information regarding deals and clients needs to be kept absolutely secret from competitors. Now imagine that you have some-how been hacked and such information has been breached. Also imagine, that you have a pretty good idea that you know that a competitor is behind it. I did not see one piece of software(maybe my eyes are not that good), that offered a means to track, trace and provide evidence with relation to a breach. Many showed how, if breached the system could be quickly secured, but hey.... isn't that rather beside the point?? Haven't you already lost your livelihood?? Is there any product out there that can detect, secure and then trace a hack etc so that at least you can take some kind of legal action against these people?? Surely, if a system is hacked with the purpose of obtaining information then that information has to go back to the hacker, otherwise, what use is it?? (or to be published thus rendering the info useless). If this is the case then surely there is a way of detecting where and who..... Or am I over simplifying things here..?? Corporate hacks in todays competitive corporate environment are only going to get worse and more prevalent, .... Is there anything out there................. Terry Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70986

    - There is a serious problem within Server 2003 SP1. There is a serious problem within Server 2003 SP1. I have updated my Server 2003 EE to SP1 and soon after (about 3 days) I noticed some strange networking problems. Now the server has a multi homed network configuration where it has two gateways. One point's to the internal network here in the office LAN the other rests on the DMZ so that I can forward traffic to that server for http / https and SMTP.

    - 2003 AD networks security question Dear Colleagues: With Windows NT networks (and I believe 2000 as well), I was unable to set up a stronger password policy for certain groups.

    - MS05-019 Windows XP SP1 issues with raw sockets (nmap problems) and MTU I understand Microsoft is working on updates of this security patch per KB 898060 (as well as for WS2003 SP1). I have several questions: - will the MS05-019 bulletin be updated with these issues (still listed as 1.0 as of 2005-04-26 08:33 PST)? - is Microsoft planning on reissuing a new binary fix for MS05-019 after KB 898060 has undergone the necessary regression testing? - is a new binary fix planned to be released out of cycle, or do we have to wait until May 10 2005? - are raw sockets enabled in the XP SP1 version of KB 898060? - could advanced users request an alternate patch version that enables raw sockets under XP SP2? Disabling raw sockets is a serious issue for nmap users, and Microsoft's suggestion to use Windows Server 2003 is not practical for many users (RAM requirements for VPC is my biggest problem).

    - COTS application suggestions for auditing Hello, I have a requirement to pretty thoroughly audit some W2K machines. Among other things, the users want to track all permission changes, failed access attempts, policy changes, yada yada yada. Enabling auditing for all these types of events across the entire PC has significantly affected performance. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions regarding any COTS applications which could meet the user's expectations and relive Windows of the burden of tracking all this junk. I'm not looking for an IDS application per se... I want something to keep track of the file system and some local security items, not tracking hacking attempts. For example, in the NT 4.0 days there was a program called Kane Security Monitor which I've seen on an old NT 4 machine... but the original developers have been bought out by Intrusion, Inc. (http://www.intrusion.com/). On NT4, Kane does a wonderful job of keeping track of user accounts that change file/folder permissions and security policy changes. However Intrusion has for all intents and purposes discontinued Kane Security Monitor as it doesn't work on Active Directory machines and Intrusion is not throwing any company resources at making what was once known as KSM work on W2K or greater. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70929

    - XPHE-AOL 9.0 Recently fixed an acquaintance's home PC. She had XP SP1 HE, and AOL 9.0 installed. Multiple users, and her grandkids renamed the administrators logon username. She had no AV, and the firewall was McAfee's freeware version. Panda's online AV scanner found over 250 infected files, and a memory running trojan. AOL's popup blocker was failing to block many popups. McAfee's firewall popup blocker was ineffective in the AOL environment. The only WWW browser environment that seemed to be popup blocker effective was in IE standalone, not in AOL itself. Wiped HDs only partition, XP partition, and started anew with two NTFS partitions. One for the OS, and one for user data. Installed XP, XP SP2 CD, Panda Titanium AV, and AOL 9.0, in that order. The SP2 firewall was implemented AV defintions were updated, and MS updates were installed. Was disappointed in the Adminstrator's user control in the XP HE environment. Recommneded XP Pro. The source of the viruses and trojans were obviously from the internet. In light of AOL's popblocker being poor, full of holes and basically ineffective, I sincerely doubt the parental surfing control of users in AOL being viable. Is there an aftermarket product that can do the same in the AOL environment and is effective? Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70925

    - Considerations for Longhorn Account Security? Most Windows 2000/XP users run as a full administrator, as we are aware. Part of the problem is that this is default Windows behavior. The booklet that you can find with 2000 or XP tells the user that he/she should not use an administrator account for day-to-day tasks, outlines how to create a new account and change the group, and also outlines the different group types. But hardly anyone reads that bit of useful information, so that would be in part the user's fault. The other part being Microsoft's and it's being buried in there. Think about it: those accounts allow unlimited access. Your average customer is a curious cat. When these two come together, what happends? His curiosity kills him (or deletes all his data, his Windows folder, his programs, etc..). This is how I feel, and hope it will reach the Longhorn developers (please forward if you have connections!): During setup, FOR ALL FLAVORS of the OS, you need to have the user enter a password for the Administrator account. I think it was a mistake to leave it out of XP Home Edition. You need input protection so that the user cannot enter a blank password. From there, you need to inform the customer on basic security principals (such as not running executables from unknown sources) and you need to inform the user right there (in setup) on the types of accounts, and the recommended one being either a Power User or User. I can't promise it'll stop all viruses or spyware, but it will put one heck of a dent in their operations. Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70923

Besides, there is a fifth region which is called "your computer" added in the IE security settings( I have never seen the regions in the IE settings.) It seems that the problem is kind of related to the vulnerablity of IE (Please refer to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS00-055.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-012.mspx and http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-0022) It is quite odd that my computer is installed with the latest version of IE 6 as well as its patches (SP2+updates). I used a software called safe xp (http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm). Could the problem be caused by it? How can I prevent the active X from downloading? Please help me!

    - APPLICATION EVENT WARNING Hello fellow members. I am in need of your invaluable help once again. My computer is running Windows XP Home Edition. My computer is a stand alone home desktop computer, NOT connected to any network. Occasionally there is an event warning logged in the Application Log of the Event Viewer, found under the Administrative Tools in the Start Menu. This is the information given for the Event Warning: Source: WinMgmt Category: None Type: Warning Event ID: 63 User: "user name" Description: A provider, OffProv11, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\MSAPPS11, to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are always two Event messages logged at the same time every time. I have Microsoft Office 2003 Student and Teachers Edition installed. I assume that the provider, OffProv11, is from Office 2003. MY QUESTIONS: What is this error? What is causing this error? What is the "WMI namespace"? How can I stop this error from happening again? Is this a serious secruity threat? Can someone please help me correct these errors. I am NOT a computer expert so for me to understand your generous help and advice, please do not use technical computer language and acronymes. I am very grateful for any help and advice you generous people out there are willing to give me!!! :-) :-) THANK YOU, Techno Phobe. Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70872

    - CA in Win 2K3 and Radius Authentication Hi All, I need to authenticate wireless clients through RADIUS which I have setup on a Win2K (with SP4). I guess I need to setup a CA for this purpose. Our domain (in native mode) is running wit 2 DCs (one win2K and the other Win 2K3). I have installed RADIUS on the Win2K DC. When I install an Enterprse CA on Win2K server, does that all comunications with the Win2K3 server require certificates as well? All want is ONLY to autehnticate the wireless clients.

    - Giving Limited Users a Little More Authority/Permission? Microsoft Gurus: I have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer Version 6. I created a limited user called "Bill" (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> User Accounts). Unfortunately, it is too limited. I would like for "Bill" to be able to: 1. change his IE6 home page to a local file, e.g., file://C:/index.htm, 2. change his IE6 security settings (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Security section) to "allow active content to run in files on My Computer". He can go through the motions of doing both, receives no error messages, but his changes do not take. How can I start with a limited user and selectively add one permission/authority at a time? Thanks. Tag: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Tag: 70815

This doesn't just monitor system32 but your entire system if any process
wants to startup the first time you need to give it the ok.

Which OS? Since you're cross-posting to an XP newsgroup
I will assume that.

Take a look at the cacls command line utility?
