    - More before-the-fact advice for 2K and XP? I'm consulting for several firms who are using Win2K and XP Pro as limited users, which so far is keeping the current crop of viruses and other garbage off the machines. Hardware firewalls do the rest. I believe future exploits will be deliberately designed to run as a limited user. That means a trojan, or virus or what-have-you will work only while a specific user's logged on to the machine. But it will still run. It wouldn't need to take advantage of raw sockets, UPnP or other "supposedly dangerous" technologies to do its dirty work. So the question I ask is, how to prevent unauthorized software from running even as the limited user? Here are the things I've ruled out so far: * Signed programs are difficult to maintain. A lot of sites use old apps that can work as a limited user, but aren't digitally signed. And nothing stops a disreputable company with a code certificate from writing a bad program that happens to be signed. * "Outbound firewalls" are an annoyance to the average user, because they warn you about every single little applet that wants network access. That includes the Windows Firewall when you enable outbound connection monitoring. Besides, it's one more thing that runs in the background using up CPU time that a useful app can use instead. And they don't stop bad programs that use file system APIs instead of network APIs to spread. * I would love to see "ZIP file type restrictions" in the Compressed Folders shell extension for Windows XP. Like the attachment restrictions built into Outlook 2002 and later, I could disallow opening certain file types from within ZIP and other archive files. There's no such functionality yet, so I've had to block ZIPs as "level 1" and allow "level 2" access only to people I've trained in handling ZIP archives safely. This sucks because even a trained user can make mistakes. * I already change the security ACLs for the root of Drive C to read-only for limited users, and apply special ACLs to the "RECYCLER" folder so limited users can still create and use Recycle Bins. I borrowed the same ACL for "Shared Documents" to accomplish this. The only folders that need to be on the root of Drive C are "Documents and Settings," "Program Files," "Windows," and "RECYCLER." And these folders (except for RECYCLER) have default ACLs that are perfect for before-the-fact security. I also create a separate volume exclusively for the paging file and make that unreadable to limited users entirely. Which comes to my latest idea which I have no clue how to implement: Deny (or remove) Execute permissions by default to Documents and Settings for limited users. I don't know how to implement this because I don't know where the default ACL for a user's profile is stored. Whatever it is, it's normally "Full Control" for the user. There's also the matter of setting up the same or similar ACL for whatever the user's Home directory is (on an Active Directory network) or their Profile directory (also on AD). Even if there were an ACL template I could change, I'd have to change it in three places: for the user's local profile, the user's roving profile (if any) and the user's home directory (if any). If this were possible, it would eliminate last remaining problem I can figure out: How to keep limited users from running unauthorized programs for good. A privilege elevation exploit won't work if it can't run in the first place. -- PGP key (0x0AFA039E): <http://www.pan-am.ca/consulting@pan-am.ca.asc> What's a PGP Key?

    - Will file permissions need to be changed? Curently i'm creating a new domain for a small company and migrating users and resources over from their old domain and I have a question about file permissions. First off, the environment is all WIndows 2003 DC's and file servers. I used ADMT v2 to migrate users and groups over and I did migrate SID's and passwords. Now during testing, users can login to the new domain but don't have permission to their roaming profiles or shared folders that reside on servers still on the old domain. From my understanding, migrating the SID's would allow users access to resources on the old domain. I do have a two way trust between the domains and can validate them with no issues. Should I go ahead and bring the servers into the new domain? And if so, would I need to reset permissions on their folders and profiles? And if you're going to say "Use the domain renaming tool". The company has a lot of major issues with their current AD DB and I believe it would be more stable if we just started from scratch. Thank you for your time and help!

    - File permissions I have a very old software package that is to be used on 30 lab machines. This is an old authorware 2.1 presentation. When the package is run it creates a directory APW_DATA in the c:\windows directory. not only does this directory have to be there the user running the application must have read and write permissions to this directory. Becuase users only get read permissions by default I have to manually change the permissions on this folder for users to be able to use the software. I want to know if there is a way that I can automate this process. What I have in mind is writing a script that will 1) add a shortcut to the start menu 2) create the APW_DATA folder with read write permissions for all users. I have been unable to figure out how to create or copy APW_DATA with the correct permissions. Is this possable and how can I do it. Thanks in advance.

    - DHCP issues Subnet IP to computer on another domain For the past year our firewall has been managed by a third party, our ISP. About 2 weeks ago, I looked at the DHCP clients that were being issued IP addresses and noticed for a computer that is not on our domain and was in fact on another domain. I deleted it and the next day found that the lease had been renewed. Over the weekend I disconnected the third party firewall and installed an ISA 2004 Server and deleted the computer from the the scope. It has again renewed it's lease. We have several users that use RDP to access our terminal server and we have an Exchange 2003 server with POP3.

    - Best Practice for User Accounts Afternoon all, I'm having a debate with a friend regarding best practices for old user accounts. He's insisting that old user accounts should be deleted ASAP and that there is MS documentation to that effect. If anyone knows of this documentation, could you please point it out to me? In my opinion, the user account should be just disabled and not deleted. If the account is deleted then all audit trails will be deleted also, and if the the data is required to be retained for any number of years, it will also be lost. Sure the account cna be re-enabled, but if someone has access to do that, then they also have access to recreate an account also.

    - Difference in authentication between using IP address and DNS name Can anyone point me in the right direction to understand this problem. What is the difference between accessing a web-site, POP /smtp email account, or network share using the IP address (10.1.1.1) vs it's DNS name site.domain.com. We have a web site that if you browse to it using 10.1.1.1 it will ask you for a username and password. If you browse to site.domain.com, you get access without being prompted for username. Another problem, In outlook if you put your smtp and pop3 addresses as IP addresses, you get access everytime with no problem (username & password saved). If you use the fully qualified name, it does not let you access. And this is different pc to pc. There is probably a white paper somewhere that explains it all.

    - Running Programs from remote shares I have a windows 2003 active directory that stores factulty files. We also have some very old software (pre 95) that I want to make available via a share on the server. The software is simply a very old authorware presentation with many associated video files. My problem is that I am only able to run these programs from the share from an administrator account. Is it possible to allow users to run these files from the shares without haveing to map a drive to the share??? Thank you in advance.

    - Search The Web I've been informed that this is spyware. I can't get rid of it. I have up-to-date Norton Antivirus, updated SP2 and have run fully updated versions of Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster and CWShredder, but still Search The Web persists. I've used System Restore to go back as far as I can and have then turned it off and rerun the anti-spyware programmes - all to no avail. I really don't know what to try next. Any ideas, please?

    - Incredimail Can't get rid of this. When I try to uninstall, I get a message saying invalid uninstall file. I've been told to install it again and then try uninstalling it, but how would I do that and won't I still be left with the first one installed?? I have updated Norton, SP2 installed and fully updated and I have run Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster and CWShredder, but still can't get rid of Incredimail. Any other suggestions, please?

    - Which Anti Virus ? Hi all, I've been a fan of Norton for the past 6 years but after several system problems with 3 installs of NIS 2005, I'm beginning to lose faith. Anyone recommend a good alternative that is stable and more importantly, does the job ? Anyone have anything good/bad to say about Kaspersky, Sophos or AVG ? TIA. Regards Colin.

    - HELP Can't get online virus scans or AVG to work --I'm working on a Dell 2400 computer that was loaded with malware, spyware, etc. There was no sign of antivirus programs, except I did find a reference to McAfee.com with a couple of files in it (via Windows Explorer), but I didn't see any actual program there. I finally managed to get AdAware on by burning a CD using a different computer then running the CD on this Dell computer. I was able to download Spybot on the Dell.- I was able to download Grisoft's AVG virus program, but the installation kept failing, even when done from a CD. (The CD worked on my own computer, so I know the actual download was good.) I also tried BitDefender ans TrendMicro's programs, but they failed to run online scans. Then I tried to start running virus fixes that I already had on floppies. I started with the Blaster fix; that ran, but then came up with error message (encountered a problem..., Send/don't send to MS). HELP! Any ideas out there?? Should I just go buy Norton and hope the bootup scan works from the CD? Barb Zakrzewski- Barb Zakrzewski Tag: Does expired digital certificates causes text to be sent in clear text ?? Tag: 65145

    - Alternative to ISA Maybe you can help me on this; I have clients that donâ??t want to spend $1200 - $2000 on ISA for firewall protection that are currently using a Linksys router for protection. Problem with this is the client also wants to run OWA (Outlook Web Access) and make several VPN connections at once which Linksys doesnâ??t provide. Iâ??m looking for a midrange device to replace Linksys routers, something around the $300 - $400 range. Something I can make the necessary VPN connections, open close ports, etc. What's the alternative to ISA? Tag: Does expired digital certificates causes text to be sent in clear text ?? Tag: 65137

    - 2003 DC auditing issue I have Windows 2003 test machine , and I test auditing policies . Configuration ======== 2003 Domain Controller , with default installation settings . Symptoms ====== If I configure all audit policies in â??Default Domain Controllers Policyâ?? to â??Not configuredâ?? ( not â??No Auditingâ?? ) â?? as expected - nothing is audited. If I then, configure a single ( no matter which one ) Audit Policy ( say Audit Account Management ) to Audit Success and Audit Failure , as expected - Account Management events are being log , HOWEVER , Event IDs which belong to other Security Categories are ALSO being log in Security Event Viewer. That is â?? I receive logs for Logon/Logoff , Account logon, Privilege Use and so on. Why is this behavior ? I expected to receive only logs sourced by Account Management policy as it was the only set on. I used GPMC Results to make sure no other scoped GPOs have auditing enabled.

OWA server's digital certificate expired.
Besides the yellow icon that indicates it is expired, does the text is sent
unencrypted by any chance ? I don't think it is unencrypted, but a co-worker
claims that's what happens with expired certificates...

That is very easy to test. Send an encrypted e-mail anywhere, save the
received mail to .eml and open with notepad.

If the SSL server certificate has expired you will get a warning and a
yellow icon.
The session will still be encrypted.

However, it is recommended that you renew the server certificate.
