    - HiJackThis will not run? Permissions? I posted the following in the Windows XP General group, and did not have much luck getting an answer to the problem. Please do not flame me for posting in this group as well. I am trying to run HiJackThis on a Windows XP SP2 Home Edition system, but a dialog box pops up saying that the user does not have the permissions to run the software. The user profile is for an administrator. I then booted into Safe Mode, looked at the Security tab, and the user DOES have all permissions checked. I have not run into this problem running HiJackThis on any other systems. I also copied and then ran that same copy of HiJackThis on another Windows XP system today (HE SP1a) and had no problems running it. Any ideas? -- T.C. t__cruise@[NoSpam]hotmail.com Remove [NoSpam] to reply Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77797

    - kerberos time skew I have a domain that i have inherited, the security logs are full of failures due to kerberos time skew. i think i have been able to reset the secure channel between the 2 domain controllers, i have also set up the pdc as the time server for the rest of the domain. some of the patched computers have synced with the time server as far as time and as far as being trusted members of the domain but many have not. also alot of userenv code 1000 errors on the broken clients. whats the easiest way to fix this? i have seen this before ( not here) and found the only way to fix was to unjoin and rejoin the domain but for nearly 100 clients that would not be fun.

    - Trojan Using Sony DRM Rootkit Spotted "The Register reports on the first trojan using Sony's DRM rootkit. A newly discovered variant of the Breplibot trojan makes use of the way Sony's rootkit masks files whose filenames begin with '$sys$'. This means that any files renamed this way by the trojan are effectively invisible to the average user. The malware is distributed via an email supposedly from a reputable business magazing requesting that the businessperson verify his/her attached 'picture' to be used for an upcoming issue. Once the payload is executed, the trojan then installs an IRC backdoor on affected Windows systems." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/10/sony_drm_trojan/ Imhotep Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ?

    - Preventing rootkits from getting installed on servers I have been looking into some issues that i have heard about from someone running a windows 2003 server network. It seems that rootkits get installed as quickly as they get removed. currently, they do not have an external firewall but they are going to get one. Right now, i would like some advice to stop the installation of these rootkits. The servers are up to date with patches and antivirus. they keep getting turned into torrent servers. any advice would be appreciated. as soon as the whatever thing that the hackers install gets taken off the server, it comes back again usually within an hour. It would appear that this is happening to all servers. Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77775

    - NT4 Workstation accessing 2000 DC I've recently migrated an NT4 domain into our larger 2000 AD Domain. For a while all workstations (NT4, 2000Pro, XP Pro) could log on and access the file shares correctly. However, I have now upgraded the system(C:) and fileshare(F:) disks on the DC to dynamic and created mirror sets. All XP, 2000 PCs still work normally. However, the small number of NT4 Workstations now cannot see the shares on the Server, due to "servername is not accessible" - "Access is denied" messages. They do still log on to the domain OK using valid domain user accounts. I've even removed the computer object from AD, re-added it (allowing Pre Windows 200 computers) , kicked the PC off the domain and re-added it. It joins the domain fine. The only change I'm aware of has been that the server disks were upgraded to dynamic. My understanding of this is that NT wouldn't be able to access these drives locally (i.e. if directly connected to them via the SCSI adapter) but would be able to access the shares over the network. Can anybody confirm this? I've tried adding an entry to the lmhosts file: <IP address> <ServerName> #PRE #DOM:<netbios domain-name> This made no difference. I'd appreciate any possible solutions.

    - Question on makecert, signcode, chktrust I'm new to certificates but I've tried the prescribed steps without success. With a simple .Net exe I've done this to use a test certificate: - makecert -sk "ABC" -n "CN=ABC CORP" abc.cer - signcode using UI to specify - abc.exe - Custom signing - select-from-file the abc.cer file - Private key in a CSP, specifying ABC - sha1 hash algorithm - specify "Abc Corp" as description, www.abccorp.com as the URL - setreg 1 true It says it all worked, and my abc.exe is bigger than it was. But when I then do ChkTrust abc.exe the message box it brings up says it's untrusted. Back in signcode there's a place to View Certificate. It says "Cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority". . If I look at the Certification Path is shows "Root Agency" as parent of "Abc Corp". "Abc Corp" says certificate OK. Root Agency says "This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.". If I click on Install Certificate.. to run the Cert Import wizard, nothing changes So is there some other simple step I've not heard about to get test certs, or even just signcode/chktrust, to really work? -- Tim Johnson High Point Software, Inc. www.high-point.com (503) 312-8625 Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ?

    - error 5 connecting to Ghost share We've set up a (Win2K3) server that holds Ghost images in a share from which we can pull down images to workstations using the Ghost boot diskette. Problem is we can no longer map a drive using 'net use g: \\server\share', because error 5/access denied comes up, asking for a password that never works. The mapping always used to work. The permissions are sufficient and always worked before. This is totally mystifying -- there's no password on the share, this is a Windows 2K3 domain!

Does anyone know when do yahoo accounts expire... that would be bad if after a disaster, people cannot get in because they did not use their yahoo email for a year :) 2. Any suggestions for non-Yahoo Groups type of sites (pay is fine) that have threaded discussions, based on some authentication (username & pwd) ?

    - Custom Exit Module not appearing in Certificate Services snap-in I'm writing a custom Exit Module for Certificate Services. I've followed the instructions I have found in the Platform SDK, MSDN library and in relevant user groups, but the Exit Module isn't showing up in the Certification Authority's properties dialog in the way it is supposed to. What I've done is this: * Built an Runtime Callable Wrapper for certdxs.dll * Implemented ICertExit2 in a VB.NET class called ExitModule.Exit * Implemented ICertManageModule in a class called ExitModule.ExitManage * Applied ComVisible(True) and ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None) attributes to the assembly * Gave the resulting assembly a strong name so it can be added to the GAC * Created an installer project for the assembly Next I deploy the assembly and dependencies to a Win 2003 test server with Certificate Services installed. Then I register the assembly for COM using regasm.exe and add it to the GAC using gacutil.exe. At this point, I would expect it to appear in the CA property dialog, but it doesn't - not even after stopping and restarting the Certificate Server. I have also tried simplifying it further by only implementing ICertExit, but still without the desired result. Please can anyone identify what is preventing certificate services from recognising the module? -- Paul Taylor <a href=www.dotcomsoftwaresolutions.co.uk>Dotcom Software Solutions</a> Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ?

    - How do I verify System Administrator Privileges in Windows ME I set myself up years ago as the system administrator on my home machine (running Windows Milennium). The other two accounts are my wife's and daughter's accounts. For some reason I do not seem to have system administrator privileges any more. For example, if I click on Tools-> Internet Options in Explorer (v6.0), I get a message saying: "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". I can to into "users" in the control panel to verify that there are no user besides the ones listed above. I have not found any way of verifying that am either setup as an administrator or not (incidentally, Windows XP that I have access to at work seems to have more menus under the "user" icon that allows one further insight). So I am stuck - how do I gain control, so I can, for example install the software that I want. I am running Norton viruschecker on the machine and have run Trendmicro Housecall scan recently. Also, the only thing thie home computer has been linked to was a wireless router where it shared to access to the internet with a laptop in the house (I used the "home (i.e. problem) machine" to install the router etc..., but the network was never setup so that other machines on the wireless network could access the "home machine" - at least that was the intention). Incidentally the wireless router blew up in a lighting storm and I can not go through the installation process of the new router until I solve this problem.

    - Administrative Password - Problem Hi, I have a forest with two Servers running Windows 2000 Server, both of which have AD installed. They system was not setup properly, and there was no second account with administrative right, hence, only the Administrator had the administrative rights. They systems are both running on a raid 5. Sometime back, I had to change the password for Administrator, and I did that using Active Driectory users and Computers console. This wasn't the First Server that I had installed on the network, hence it did not have the Global Catalog (as default). Unfortunately, there was a problem (I don't understand exactly if it was network, or some synchronization problem), and now, I cannot log onto both the servers using neither the hold or the new password. This network was not connected to the internet, and I am sure no one has changed the passwords. Any Ideas what I can do to reset my password? Will appreciate any input, or explanation of what might have gone wrong. Thank you! Tj Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77630

    - HTTP Error 403.13 - Verisign IP Address Hi All Please bear with me as I'm not a network person but this is the problem we have: We have a web server running IIS 6.0 behind a firewall. On this server we have a secure (https://whatever) web site that has a certificate from Verisign, which is valid. Last week we put Verisign=E2=80=99s IP address into the firewall so the web server could check the revoked list on verisign.com - http://SVRIntl-crl.verisign.com/SVRIntl.crl. The web site worked and everything was good =EF=81=8A Now however, the website is not working and bringing up the following error =EF=81=8C: HTTP Error 403.13 - Forbidden: Client certificate has been revoked on the Web server. I have talked to the network lads and they said nothing had changed but when they did some more digging they found that Verisign=E2=80=99s IP Addre= ss had changed at the DNS server. So when the certificate tries to get to the revoked list on verisign.com, it can=E2=80=99t get through the firewall as the IP Address is not listed in the list of IP=E2=80=99s allowed to get through. And the network lads say we can=E2=80=99t authorise domains on the firewall, it has to be IP Addresses and Verisign are a high level domain (or something) and they can change their IP Address whenever they want??? I hope I have explained the situation correctly, like I say I=E2=80=99m not= a network person so I=E2=80=99m learning as much as I can as I go along. So my question is, how do I get my web server to see verisign.com without opening the whole server to the internet, for obvious security reasons, so it can see the revoked list on verisign.com using only IP Addresses? Any and all help would be gratefully received. Tad Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77621

    - Defending ARP Spoofing Hi all, I want to build up a resource containing all possibilities to defend ARP spoofing. As I think ARP spoofing is one of the most powerful, easiest and underestimated attacks I want to know all your tricks, patches, anything that you know/apply to defend ARP spoofing. I know the standard things to do (like static ARP entries and so on), what I want to know from you is something like: -OS x has a patch y which helps preventing ARP spoofing (like antidote) or -OS x in version y has a small built in ARP prevention (like SunOS) or -Firewall/IDS x is able to prevent/detect ARP spoofing Also welcome are new thoughts about ARP spoofing prevention (like S-ARP or Secure Link Layer). Give me all your information, tricks and tips, so I can build up a complete resource. Thanks a lot, Chris Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77599

    - Win2003 firewall and mssql Hi, Yesterday i've activated the SP1 firewall on a win2003 server. On this server i've Mysql and MSSQL running. I've activated all the ports needed Right now everything works except MSSQL On the firewall i've opened port 1433 tcp and udp and the port 1434 udp. The error i get from some scripts when the firewall is on is: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005' [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Obviously on the server network utility I've checked that the actived tcp/ip port is the 1433. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks. Tag: Floppy Disk Drive Access Error caused by HOTFIX ? Tag: 77590

I have many DELL servers that I support running Windows2003 Server Standard
Edition. Recently I started receiving reports of a "Windows was unable to
complete the format" error message when using Windows Explorer to format a
floppy disk in the server disk drive.

Replacing the disk drives did not solve the problem, new diskettes did not
help and the only thing that has changed on these servers lately is MS
security hotfixes. On another internet forum I was told this was caused by a
recent hotfix, Does anyone know of a problem with a hotfix that might cause
problems formatting floppies?

If we format from a CMD prompt, sometimes it works sometimes not. If we
format the same 3.5" HD diskette on an XP workstation, when we try to use the
diskette back on the server, we get a similar message from the disaster
recovery portion of ARCserve.

suggestions?

Don't format floppy disks in servers? ; D

Just kidding. But support calls to Microsoft are free if caused by a
hotfix. Unless someone else here knows specifically which hotfix.
