    - 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! I have a feeling this is a known problem, but I can't find any info on it. Anyone know what could be the cause ? Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77700

    - suggestions for disaster recovery website - outsourced / hosted? I'm reviewing a DRP (disaster recovery plan). The company wants to use Yahoo groups for their emergency website. I know this might not be the expertise for this MS-centric group, but I figured why not try. :) Basically I wanted to know, 1. 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) ? We don't want something tied in to the domain of the company... since the network may be down in event of a diaster :) THanks Jason Shohet Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77681

    - 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: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77676

    - Spyware hijacking Passport? Hi, I have a problem with passport-related products on a Windows ME computer. Accessing Messenger or logging in to passport causes an avalanche of pop-ups and slows my computer to a crawl. Even though I read an article in an Irish newspaper about this problem several months ago, McAfee still does not detect/fix the problem nor do any free packages like Adaware - and I cannot find any articles online describing the problem or how to fix it. According to the article I read, the problem is caused by clicking on a link suggesting that Messenger needs to be updated. Having used Spybot, Adaware, MacAfee, uninstalled and re-installed MSN messenger... I have run out of ideas. Does anyone know anything about this problem and how it might be solved?

    - 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.

While I find many helpful hints from MS on how to configure users and specific portions, I can't find anything on the basics of setting it up. Ie, do you still create a virtual folder on the web site? If so, where does it point? Do you need to install an add in for the exchange server? Is it there by default? Thanks for the help.

    - 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: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw 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: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77621

    - online threats Hi and thanks for the reply. I only get a few of these spam emails everday so it isnt a big problem deleting them manually. Over the last year I probably got about 100-150 in total. Whats really amazing though is the time/care that must be taken everday when online and the knowledge one must possess inorder to defend him/herself from so many threats. Viruses, spyware, adware, unsolicited spam email in addition to the normal system maintaince such as hardware repair and/or driver and software updates. All this takes MUCH time and knowledge, time they could probably spend playing more games, learning new software, or anything else one can imagine with his/her computer. From the money perspective i spend about 60 euros a year for antivirus and spyware/adware removal software(subscription fees). Its truely amazing i think! Personally, I am only busy in the summer and I consider myself lucky to have so much time to spend with this stuff. What about your average joe who works eight hours a day and comes home tired? I seriously doubt they got the energy or will to learn all this stuff and spend so much time trying to get a healthy system. In other words a lot of people are doomed and this will probably only get worse before it gets better. More intensive policing and tougher laws are necessary and by the way FUK the "freedom of speech" act! Every demented person and unscrupulous corporation is taking advantage of that pathetic law worldwide. Many of the most prosperous companies traded publicly are "knowingly" and "silently" installing their adware that is prepackeged with the freeware(kazaa-prime example). Of course many naive people, I used to be one, thought i could get free software, only to discover the damage to my computer a few minutes later. But you cant do much thanks to the freedom of speach act and that long ten page disclaimer which always removes liability from them. Who takes the time to read a ten page disclaimer and privacy policy? I for sure dont. Probably, the only solution to this bs is that one day most companies and consumers alike will mature enough to know that its in their best interest to play fair. If i bored or offended anyone i apologize but i feel too strong about these issues not to voice them. P.S. I use outlook express and my email is isp based. What options do i have?

    - African Advance fee fraud, euro lotteries, .... I get so much JUNK email everyday I truly wonder why governments dont do something? African Advance fee schemes are the most prevailant and enticing. Allegedly they give you millions of dollars just for transfering their funds into your account. They go into great depth to make it sound legitimate and usually they claim to be "government officials" who need to "quickly" and "confidentially" transfer their funds in return for a 5-10 percent commission. Get real why would they chose me for their partner instead of getting professional assistance and when was it ever that easy to make millions of dollars for doing virtualy nothing? Everybody should ask themselves those two questions! Then the euro lottery deal. I just won a euro email lottery without even knowing about it! And the best part is like the african scheme everyone copies the format(virtually all are identical), confedintiality and urgency are a must. Then the prescription pills that u save a bundle by purchasing online. Since when does such serious medication get exchanged online without any doctors perscriptions? I woulnt even purchase aspirin online let alone prescription pills! Lastly, the BIG software ripoff, where you can purchase top software like adobe, microsoft, norton and other top software at a huge discount. Do companies now about this? I dont think they would be overly joyed having their software pirated in such ways if indeed the deal is legitate and not a total scam! I dont know, i havent tried it.

    - Keep losing file associations On my computer at work, my file associations with several AutoCAD ADT 2006 files keep resetting to the file wrong icons. This is very annoying as I use the icons to easily identify drawings (.dwg) from backup files (.bak), plot files (.plt) and other files. Using: Tools / Folder Options / FileTypes / Advanced / Change Icons I select the file type, browse to the .dll or .exe file where the correct icon is stored and pick the icon. This ressets it correctly, for about half the day. Then the icons reset back to what they're NOT supposed to be. I have found several file icons for AutoCAD have been mis-associated. Is there another way, maybe using something in the registry, to permanantly correct this issue? Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77546

What is this group, and why the full perms to everything? This is apparently the default behavour, or at least that's the way Dell sent me the server. My other 2003 server, which I installed, does not have this group listed in any of its perms. thank you, Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77522

    - IPSec I've been having a problem with my file server, which is using the server request security IPSec policy, being able to browse the domain with network neighborhood. Shortly after disabling the policy, I can browse, and vice versa. I've noticed in my event viewer, these informational messages are appearing. I've always assumed they were just successful IPSec connections, but taking a closer look, they don't appear to be actually creating an IPSec connection since all the parameters are empty. Does this make any sense? IKE security association established.

    - Windows Vista and Rootkits Hi all, I couldn't find a newsgroup specific to Vista listed, so I'm posting here... Can anyone tell me if Vista will include any security features designed to thwart rootkits, or are we still looking at third party software for such malware? The news I've read about the rootkit software on certain Sony music CDs and how it's already been used to get past some online game's cheat controls, etc) caught my eye. I'm aware of the reduced user privs feature...Just hope it works right! Thanks, Sir Tim Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77520

    - Can not uninstall Norton AntiVirus 2006 My computer was shut down while it was in the middle of uninstalling Norton AntiVirus 2006 Trial. Now it will not uninstall through Windows Add/Remove programs. I have been all over the Norton/Symantec website. My computer will not install the SymNRT removal tool. Norton customer service will not help me because they will not provide technical assistance to a trial product. This has now affected my email. Does anyone know what I can do? Thank you for your help. Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77518

    - X.509 Cert Template - Biometric Extensions sI'd like to modify an X.509 cert template to carry a private extension for various biometric hashes, and to supply the hash values in the enrollment request. I know how to create a new Application Policy (Extended Key Usage) easily enough with the Templates MMC, and assign it an OID. But how do I create data fields and capture information from the enrollment request? Thanks in advance for any assistance, -- Lynn Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77501

    - FTP and PGP With the earlier topic on "FTP using PGP", I am a little confuse. My understanding is that you can use PGP to encrypt a file(s) and then you can use regular/non-secure ftp to send it outside. I mean, the ftp connection does not need to be secure because the file itself is already encrypted with PGP and there's no need for a ftp client that support PGP. You can use any ftp client to send any kind of files, PGP or not. Am I correct on this? thanks. Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77500

    - McAfee taskbar Warning Recently I've been getting a taskbar balloon saying my McAfee antivirus may be out of date. It's not. I update it daily & it's working well. The XP security center & McAfee confirm the error. My ISP is Verizon/MSN. MS told me it's an MSN problem. MSN says it's a Verizon problem. Verizon says it's a MSN security glitch. I get McAfee through my ISP. Suggestions? Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77496

    - Encryption Hi, I wish to encrypt all USB storage devices that are being used across our Windows 2003 domain with Windows XP clients, so that only users within our domain can access the data on them. I have been looking into EFS encryption and EFS will only encrypt files and folders and not the entire device, is this correct? Does anyone know of any good alternative solutions apart from EFS, that will encrypt USB devices? Thanks Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77493

    - ActiveX Control To Read Certificate (ASP.Net app) I need to be able to read a certificate from the currently logged on user's PC and then check its validity against our certificate server. At this point in time, I have no idea what or how to do this and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Pierre Tag: Microsoft fixes imperfect picture flaw Tag: 77483

If a picture is worth a thousand words, with the latest Windows
vulnerability, some of those words might be "compromised," "rooted" and
"infected."
