Windows Update error 0x80244019 on Windows 2003 server
Can't seem to get one of my Windows 2003 servers to get beyond an error
0x80244019. I run Windows Update and get to the v6 page with the Express and
Custom buttons but after clicking the Custom button, it throws this error.
I've cleaned all the temp files and history but still cannot get beyond this.
any ideas?

Is it safe to delete this from Registry?
I am having trouble with my anti-spyware not being able to remove something
called "Apropos" and which has something to do with "ads". I do see a file
with the name "Apropos Media" (1.0.0.1) in my Programs list and also in my
Registry. Do any of you know if it is safe to delete this from the Registry
and/or Programs? If I should do both deletions, which should I do first?
Allso an "Uninstall" file in the Programs Apropos folder.
Any help would be appreciated as I have never tried modifying my Registry
(fearing a "crash"), or removing a program which my Windows might need. I am
too old to be knowledgeable in this area, so any explanations in
non-technical terms would really help me.
BTW, I am running Windows 98SE.
Thanks.....

Confidentiality of email
We are a social service agency which does work for various funders. One of
our funders now wants us to transmit our client data to them via email. I'm
worried about the confidentiality issues...how real are my concerns? I
always understood that email is NOT secure. We have a firewall,
virus/spyware aps, etc., and the funder who wants this info is a county
agency, but I'm still not convinced. We don't have an internal email
system...we have a number of email address through our ISP (DSL). Should I
refuse to send the data that way, or document their request and put the
responsibility on them? We still feel an obligation to our clients to keep
their information secure. Any advice would be appreciated! Tag: Increased scanning on port 445 (MS SMB) Tag: 72916

CDP location
I have a enterprise root and a enterprise subordinate certificate
authorities. Users obtain a cert from the subordinate. I also have ISA
2004, Exchange 2003 (w SP1).
My internal server name is server1.domain.com
I want to have external users look for the crl at secure.domain.com
I have published it in ISA 2004 to do that. I then removed the
server1.domain.com http link from the subordinate extensions and put a http
link to secure.domain.com in its place.
Now external exchange organizations with outlook 2003 cannot verify the CRL.
When they view the cert from their machine they can see the CDP, if they
copy and paste it to a browser, it opens the crl. Why isn't it automatically
working like it did when i left the default location and published it as is
through isa?

Monitor (read) network traffice BEFORE it's encrypted?
Hi folks,
Is there any way to monitor my network traffic before it's encrypted via
group policy with IP/Sec? At our organization, we need to encrypt all traffic
to satisfy auditors, but we would still like to be able to be able to read
the traffic via Ethereal, Etherpeek, etc. if we choose to. I'm wondering if
some NIC's may allow this (Intel S series, etc.) before the traffic is
encrypted? Also, is there any way as Administrators to be "alerted" if, and
when, someone on the wire IS monitoring the traffic??? Suggestions?

Disallow change password from some computers
Is there a way to disallow password changes from certain machines without
completely removing a users ability to change their own password? Even just
hiding/disabling the "Change Password" button on the Windows Security screen
(CTRL-ALT-DEL) would probably suffice.
Here's where I'm coming from: we have a large number of users in satellite
offices and working out of their homes. They all have laptops that they use
for 75% of their work but they're still regularly required to access our
Terminal Servers for various reasons. We force users to change password
regularly. Every now and then though one of the remote users will change the
password VIA the terminal server - which updates it on the corporate LAN but
leaves their laptop out of synch. Invariably they then end up locking
themselves out. Tag: Increased scanning on port 445 (MS SMB) Tag: 72858
UrlAllowList does not work for UNC paths on Windows 2000 Pro
I have followed the instructions found in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054 under 'method 1 Modify the
ItssRestrictions registry entry to enable a specific Web application' and it
seems to work for Windows XP when the CHM file lives on a network resource
being accessed by either a Mapped Drive or UNC path. It also seems to work
for Windows 2000 only if the CHM is accessed using a mapped drive. It does
not work for Windows 2000 if the CHM file is accessed using a UNC path.
The only way I can access a CHM from a network resource using a UNC path on
Windows 2000 is by using 'Method 2 Modify the ItssRestrictions registry entry
to enable a specific security zone'.
I would prefer to use method 1 for Windows 2000 since it's more secure, does
anyone know if this is possibile.

Windows 2000 server hacked
I have a Windows 2000 server that was hacked. The OS partition is on a 4
gig drive. The OS and profiles take up about 1.5 gig. When I look at the
drive properties, it says I only have 80 mb free. That means someone is
storing almost 3 gig of stuff on my omputer. I have used every tool and
command line I can to find the data, but nothing will read the directory
structure. All attempts come back displaying just the data that was
original to the system. The hackers must have done something to the system
to hide" their data from anything that reads NTFS. I also cannot empty my
recycle bin. It tells me that one of the folders is not empty. When I look
at that folder nothing is in it.
Does anyone have an idea on how to access this data so I can find it and
delete it from my system. As of now, I am looking at the format/reload
method, but I would rather not do that.
Thanks in advance.

ZoneAlarm Configuration Help
ZA free version 5.5.094.000 (latest/current) on XP Home and W98SE
Under Firewall Zones there is an entry for the Adapter Subnet that is
apparently present by default 192.168.1.102. Also apparently by default it
is set to the internet zone. If I understand correctly I was supposed to
enter a range of IPs for my local workgroup 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.150 and
set it to trusted; I did that. These IPs are assinged by DHCP from my
Belkin wireless router which I set to assign starting at 192.168.1.100.
Also I set the Belkin to have the IP/gateway address 192.168.1.77.
Why is 192.168.1.102 for the local Adapter set to internet; it's a 3c905?
It is possible to change it to trusted. Which is right?
Currently 192.168.1.102 is both set to internet zone by the Adapter Subnet
line and by the range line for the local workgroup which is set to trusted.
What is the zone for 192.168.1.102 internet or trusted? Does the order a
line appears in the zone list make any difference?
So do I need to add a ZA zone entry 192.168.1.77 and set it to the internet
zone? Tag: Increased scanning on port 445 (MS SMB) Tag: 72851

Security problems using XP SP2
I've got a service running as Local System account that calls
CreateProcessWithLogonW to run a script as a certain administrator account.
Like so:
STARTUPINFOW si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
CreateProcessWithLogonW(
L"admin", // username
NULL, // domain
L"admin", // password
0, // logon flags
NULL, // No application name (use command line)
&command[0], // command line
0, // No creation flags.
NULL, // Use parent's environment block.
NULL, // Use parent's starting directory.
&si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure.
&pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure.
)
This worked fine until Service Pack 2 was installed, now the call fails with
'Access is denied'. However, if i change the service to run as the same
'admin' account used in the Create.. call there is no problem. I'd rather
not have to do this.
Anyone else had similar problems and know of a better (proper) solution??

How can you send 'malware' over port 443 to mywebserver ?
Often I hear people saying that one of the benefits of an application layer
firewall (let's say ISA 2004) is that SSL traffic can be unencrypted,
scanned and then re-encrypted and sent to the respective webserver.
My question is this:
What's the mechanism that could allow somebody to send, let's say a virus or
a malware over port 443 that could hurt my OWA server, for example ? Since
people is retrieving data from such web server (that is now protected by
ISA), I don't understand well the process that you could use to submit data
over this SSL tunnel and hit the webserver that way. Tag: Increased scanning on port 445 (MS SMB) Tag: 72793
Check if specific updates are installed
Hello,
Does some know some specific tool that can I check if 2 critical updates are
installed on my workstations? How can I get this information from my OS?
For example: I have to check if the patch MS05-0XX are installed in all my
workstations (about 200 computers), I have the hostname of these computers.
The idea is create some .bat file that can get each hostname and it do the
checkup, it will generate a file that I can be able to import in MS Excel to
generate the report.
The OS installed on my computers are WIN2K and WINXP.
Obs.: I don't have the SMS; MBSA check all patchs, I just want to check if 1
or 2 are installed.
Thanks in advanced,

You may have to take steps to work around a problem caused by the line

already registered for Passport, but soon the software started asking me
this, and asking me that. Finally, it asked me for my name, absolutely the
last thing a program ever asks in a computer context. I mean, what is my
name? Thomas Jones? Thomas L Jones? Thomas L. Jones? Dr. Thomas Jones, etc.,
etc.
Then I was forced to change browsers. If the webcasts are Internet Explorer
only, please say so at the top level.
And get this: The videos are seemingly that d--- broadband only content,

hour, I gave up, cussing.

Firewall and Group Policy
Hello:
I currently have disabled MS firewall on LAN connections and enabled on
Wireless and Dialup not allowing file and print sharing or remote
desktop/assistance. For my users it is more important to keep them secure
when not on our LAN which has a nice hardware firewall to protect them.
I have been toying with the idea of enabling the firewall on XP machines and
maybe 2003 servers through Group Policy allowing the exceptions necessary for
me to remotely administer the services, update virus software, install
patches, etc. My concern is Windows firewall does not allow exception for
each individual connection, seems it is a one for all configuration.
If you have Group Policy firewall connections will they also be applied when
the user is not physically connected to the domain? Even if they sign onto
domain using cached credentials?
Needless to say it is more important to protect my laptops over unsupervised
wireless and dialup connections than on our protected LAN. It would be a
nice improvement to MS firewall to allow different exceptions for each
connection.
Thanks, Cindy Tag: Increased scanning on port 445 (MS SMB) Tag: 72752
