    - QuickBooks and its users QuickBooks and its users. We have users in the office that require the use of quick books. I have been instructed to install it on workstations etc. What I have come to find is that in order to even run QuickBooks you need to be a power users (this is the lowest membership) or Administrator of the machine you're using. This all being said poses a problem. Typically users of the system aren't granted any rights in the domain other than Domain User. A few exceptions have been made for some of the "SUITS" and "Programmers / Developers" whom need full admin rights over the machine they use. This isn't the case for every user, and I now seem to have to grant more rights to the user over the workstation that they are using. I know. If I was the one reading this I would reply with an answer like: "If you can't trust your users to have elevated rights on your computer(s), then why the hell would you trust them with data inside of QuickBooks. The only answer I can get from the support at QuickBooks is that this is the way the software works due to all the many background process that run pertaining to their software. So. now does any one have a suggestion for me as to how I can protect my workstations and let users use software they need to do their job with? Tag: Set Win XP Firewall rules via login script?

    - Spyware & Registry changes I use Spybot S & D and it gets rid of syware well. I recently formatted my hard drive and all is well, but....Having downloaded S & D (updated version) onto my laptop after formatting HD,it is now identifying spyware it can't remove, all of which is embedded in the Registry. Examples are: ISearchTech.PowerScan entry HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\PowerScan DyFuCA.InternetOptimizer entry HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Avenue Media I can delete them manually from regedit I imagine, but if S & D can't, should I? I am having some irritating but harmless events such as Dial up prompt and a web page (blank when on or off line) called sixty six appearing shortly after I switch on. Can anyone help?

    - Follow up to tracking permission changes thread. I posted earlier about tracking whenever someone changes the permissions of a given object. Here's what I've done so far. I verified in the Local Security Settings that Successful and Failed is set on Local Policies | Audit Policies | Audit Policy Change and Audit Provilege Use. For a given object, in Properties | Security | Advanced | Auditing, I have the Everyone group configured for Full Control and every Successful and Failed check box is checked Yes, I know what I did generates a lot of log entries. I've opened it up because I've never seen a log entry for a permission change work before. So to test I go to c:\temp and verify the above settings are propagated to that folder. Inside c:\temp there is a file called test.txt. I verified the settings have propagated to that file. I then logoff, logon as a different user, and then change permissions, change ownership, modify existing permissions, add and remove groups and users, and then logoff. When I log back on as an administrator to read the security log, there is not one log entry that says anywhere in the description that something associated with c:\temp\test.txt got changed. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!!! Tag: Set Win XP Firewall rules via login script? Tag: 69215

As such they are guests on the VA's network subject to there rules and guidelines. Recently I was informed that they are not allowed to use Multi-Function Printers due to a security risk.

    - How to avoid router broadcast to windows clients? Hi all, Last week we had somebody at our LAN plugging an ADSL router configured with Ip address 192.168.1.1 and RIP v1 , of course the router started to broadcast it's presence ... Most if not all Workstations accepted the broadcast and took 192.168.1.1 as their GW instead of the DHCP supplied one even the one with SP2 FW .. Needless to say that it was a chaos . Is this a normal behaviour ? ( 192.168.1.1 is Not in the subnet of the Lan interface of the PC !) what can I do to avoid that in the future ? Thanks in advance for any ideas / feedbacks.

    - Windows Update vs. SUS This should be an easy one. I currently use SUS for applying updates with the Severity of 'Critical'...this seems to be working fine. However, after SUS has updated the machines (and they have successfully rebooted) and I have verified that the updates have been applied by using the MBSA (identifying the SUS server as the source); if I have the machine go out to the Windows Update site, it is identifying that there are still critical updates that need to be applied. When I look at the technical aspects of one of the "missing" critical updates - the severity is "important" not critical. Example:MS04-041 (885836) The technical site for this update shows that it has a Maximum Severity Rating of "Important".....But, when Windows Update performs a scan for updates - the 885836 is showing as "critical". Can someone clairify this for me please? Tag: Set Win XP Firewall rules via login script? Tag: 69138

    - Anti virus software? I keep hearing on the radio and other places that without anti-virus software (PC-cillin, Norton, or some other) a PC computer connected to the internet will get a virus within a couple minutes. I've been using the internet for several years now with no virus protection and haven't detected any viruses on my Windows 95 system. Is it possible the new viruses today will not run on an old Win 95 setup and I don't have to worry about it, or should I install a firewall and anti-virus software for added protection.

    - smileycentral spyware via 'good luck' email? I recently forwarded a 'funny' email from a relative. When I opened it, I was hit with the MSIE notification I was about to visit a secure website. Since there is no way to say "NO!" to this notification, I forced Outlook to close via Task Manager. I later saved the message as a msg file and inspected the HTML part. It was a 'pass it on and have good luck' message filled with references to smileycentral.com, both to web pages and .gif files. But none of these addresses were HTTPS. The only thing I can figure is that one of the image files was being redirected to a secure site. What would be the purpose of this?

    - connecting to another server Hi, I've recently taken over the network at our business and I'm flying by the seat of my pants on how to do some of the networking tasks and such. We connect remotely to an afp server to upload files for printing. For some reason that I can't determine, the service is not working properly. I recently (within the last month) ran windows update on one of our two servers (both of which are runing windows server 2003 standard edition). Is this affecting a firewall somehow? If so, where are the firewall settings located so at the very least I can turn it off long enough to transfer, then turn it back on? Additionally, if there is a way to list set locations on a safe list, I would like to be able to do that so in the future we do not have this problem If it makes any difference, the computer I'm trying to transfer from is a Mac. Something else I noticed that I'm not sure may or may not affect the operation of our system is that one server shows updates on automatic updates and the other doesn't. Should the two be running on the same service pack updates for the optimum compatibility? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jessica Tag: Set Win XP Firewall rules via login script? Tag: 69059

Use the NetSh command line.

Click Start, then Help and Support, then enter "firewall netsh" in the search
box. The first article returned is titled "Configuring Windows Firewall from
the command line".

Be aware, however, that some configuration steps can only be completed if
the security context is that of an administrator, so also consider startup
scripts or Group Policy to configure the firewall.
