One W2K Server (sp4) in mixed mode running (DHCP, DNS, WINS, IAS and Microsoft CA). 2. One W2K Server (sp4) running RRAS and Microsoft ISA server 2000 (sp2). 3. Linksys WAP54G wireless AP (access point). 4. All servers and wireless AP connected to a 10/100 switch. My laptop running W2K Pro (sp4) cannot connect to the domain.

Also a username, pw and domain window popped up but each time I entered the information, these two windows kept popping up. Can someone pls help me out here? TIA.

    - Script to set folder security I recently moved the home folders for 900 students to a new 2003 server and when I did I messed up all the folder security settings. The folders name is based on the users login name. Is there a way to run a script that would read the folders name and then set the folders security to give that user full permission, and give a number of other security groups permission at the same time?

    - Microsoft AntiSpyware - Developer info - How to make installation of non-intrusive ActiveX DLL more user friendly? Greetings all. I was wondering is any developer information is available for microsoft antispyware product. We are a software vendor, who's developing a by-no-means non-intrusive, non-spyware ActiveX control meant to be run inside IE. Our users which have MSAS installed, are getting an "unknown activeX, block-allow?" question once installed although we digitally sign both the installation package and the DLL file itself. Maybe it's possible to get enlisted in the MSAS database? Or anything else? There's very little information regarding this issue on MS website...

    - Windows 2003 Server SP1 Removes the MS03-039 Patch Using Windows 2003 SP1 and after running an ISS scan shows that patch MS03-039 needs to be applied. When I tried to apply the MS03-039 patch (Windows 2003 version) it will not install and a message box popped up stating there was already a newer version of the file because a service pack was applied. Did a fresh install of Windows 2003 Server and appled the MS03-039 successfully and ran Windows Update and completed all updates with the exception of SP1. Using the KB824146 scanning tool, it showed the patch was still applied. After applying SP1, the scanning tool showed MS03-039 patch was NOT installed and required investigating.

    - 2003 Enterprise CA, MSCEP - 0 length cert message on cisco 837 rou Hello Everyone, I'm trying to use MSCEP on a 2003 Enterprise CA to request a certificate for Cisco 837 router. When I run the cisco command "crypto ca authenticate TRS-AD-CA" the router comes back with a message "% Error in receiving Certificate Authority certificate: status = , cert length = 0" which indicates that my 2003 CA is not sending anything back for the request. I can successfully request a certifcate from this router when I connect to a 2000 Standalone CA but my new 2003 Enterprise CA is not working correctly. I initially had problems with the 2003 Cert Server installation as IIS was already installed on the server before DCPROMO was run however I followed the Microsoft Knowledge base article (332097) and corrected the security permisions. When I install MSCEP I can see that the CA issues an "Exchange Certificate" and "CEP certificate" but there is still something wrong when trying to get the router to request a cert. I think the CA is okay as I can request other Certs from a web browser etc. and I see my AD Domain servers have automatically requested and received certificates however my MSCEP is failing. Does anyone have any ideas where to look to resolve this problem as I can't find any similar problems on the internet. Thanks in advance, Peter Arians.

The information I have username password domain name computer name I am trying to find a windows native/managed api, which would let me do that. I did find some api which would let me Join the computer to the domain and unjoin from the domain. I am sure these api, internally, are using some low level functions/api to authenticate the credentials first before attempting to join the system to the domain. Your answers are highly appreciated.

    - Cannot change filename I have two very strange folder problems. To start off, I am the Domain Admin and have all rights. My domain is Windows 2003. I have created a folder in my document directory under my home home directory (H:\Docs) and it is called New Folder. I would like to rename it, but the system will not let me. I get the access denied. System is full or write protected message. Looking at the properties, it is Read Only, which I cannot clear, I am the owner. Administrator cannot modify it either. If I log directly on my Data Server (the location of the home directories) as me, I cannot even open the Docs directory. On the same subject but a differnt server, there is a directory that was created to temporarily store data as we moved data around. Now that directory cannot be deleted or renamed. The folder is called hi01 but when you try and delete it, the error message is Cannot delete My New DW Site. Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name. I am out of guesses and any help is appreciated. Steve Tag: New Instant Messaging Viruses - Avoid Files & URLs (FYI) Tag: 71024

    - 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?

    - 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.

    - Security update dated 2/13/2002? I have been receiving notices and installing critical updates on a regular basis for years, but I am now receiving notification of a security update dated February 13, 2002 MSXML 4.0. I'm not sure if I should download and install this update or not. Does anyone know why I am suddenly receiving notification of a security update which is more than three years old?

    - 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.................
