    - Enforcing TS licensing? Ten users vs five TS CALs? I've read the licensing document that describes per-user and per-device CALs in TS2003. These remind me of the old per-server and per-seat client licenses introduced in NT 3.5. The trouble I can see is, I expect no more than five users to connect to a TS at a time. Per-device mode issues a license to a device (computer) that expires after X days, but that suggests that this license can't be reclaimed during this period - if I have five people connected (and I restrict the number of inbound connections to five) and I'm using per-device TSCALs, all of these are used up even if one person disconnects to make room for another person. Or have I misinterpreted that? Per-user licensing is even sillier - if I have ten users but five per-user TSCALs, then those things get issued to users with no way to reclaim a license for another user - not even an expiry date. Sure, it doesn't bother decreasing the license count so I can have ten users share five per-user TSCALs. It might not be legal, but if I'm restricting the number of inbound connections already, there's no way to have more than five people on at the same time anyway. So, for this scenario, which is the best licensing model? I'm already enforcing the licensed usage by restricting the number of inbound connections. This reminds me of a bug in the old license logging service for NT 3.5 and Remote Access Service. In per-server mode, non-Windows clients disconnecting wouldn't decrement the per-server usage count, eventually running out of licenses. The workaround was to change it to per-seat and ignore the license service event log entries. Eventually MS began recommending stopping and disabling the license logging service. -- PGP key (0x0AFA039E): <http://www.pan-am.ca/consulting@pan-am.ca.asc> What's a PGP Key?

    - Cannot view files and folder in explorer I am in need of some help. Recently in the last week, I am unable to view files or folders on my C: drive on my windows 2003 server. These files are there, because all of my websites are running ok, but I get a blank right pane in explorer when I click the C drive. I am able to create a file on my c: drive but as soon as I create it, it disappears from the explorer view. If I go to the command prompt, it puts me in my user folder and I am able to list files using the DIR command but if I try to look outside of that folder no files will show up My question is why would this behavior occur and how can I fix it? Has anyone heard of this happening before for no apparent reason? Any help would be very much appreciated.

    - O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com I posted this question to the AumHa forum, but I have a feeling that this site is probably more appropriate. I ran Hijack This and put the results through an on-line log analyzer (http://hijackthis.de/index.php) and it said that the entry "O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com" was NASTY AND SHOULD BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY.

    - Save me from my stupidity After being given "Hardening Windows Systems" for Christmas I decided to play about with the local policy settings on my networked W2k Pro machine.

    - SonicWALL/cable Internet/dynamic IP configuration help needed Hi... I have a small home/office network with 4 PCs running XP Home. Until today, I used DSL and my ISP used static IP addresses. I have a SonicWALL/10 firewall/router connected to the DSL modem, and a switch connected to the SonicWALL. The PCs are connected to the switch via Cat5 cable. Using the static IP addresses, it all works fine. Today, I had Comcast high speed Internet service installed. The tech attached one of my PCs to the new cable modem and it works fine. I have been struggling all day trying to configure the SonicWALL to connect all the PCs to the Internet using dynamic IP addresses. I set the SonicWALL to use NAT with DHCP Client. I can see that the SonicWALL is getting IP and DNS addresses from Comcast -- these numbers show up on the SonicWALL setup screen. I have enabled DHCP in the SonicWALL, and I've set the PCs TCP/IP setting to automatically obtain IP addresses. After making all the changes, I restart the SonicWALL and the cable modem. I am not able to connect to the Internet. I have talked to Comcast several times and they aren't familiar enough with the SonicWALL to help. My SonicWALL is old and SonicWALL won't talk to me because my service agreement expired a long time ago. They want $75 for a one-time tech support call. I have the feeling that I have one small incorrect setting in the SonicWALL interface that's keeping this from working. It seems the SonicWALL setup is a bit more complicated than other routers because the Comcast tech on the phone said a Linksys, Netgear or D-Link router is pretty much plug and play. I hate to have buy one of those since I have the SonicWALL. Can anyone help? I am pulling my hair out.... what's left of it. Many thanks. John Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65606

    - Program deleting itself after Execution Hello. I work at an Corporation down here in Puerto Rico in the IT department, we have come across a very strange and serious problem, that i would appreciate any and all insight or solutions in. Over the past few weeks I had noticed that for some reason or another a particular application(EXTRA!emu program) was(my assumption atm) being desasociated from the OS therefore not being able to run files associated to that program. A simple reinstall would fix the problem, so at that particular moment we didnt give it much attention however I was concerend about it but had other more pressing issues to deal with. Last week one of our main Apps(PremierII) for a department that is launched from a webpage in our intranet stoped working , and after a couple of ours with the apps techsupport we couldnt find a solution. Yesterday however I was assigned to try and fix this applications problem, and came across something very suspicious. The application is accessed by all the Users from one of our servers(it resides there). When i went to the server to look at the files of the application I was able to see that there was still one user using it and i was unable to check some of the files associated with it and try to see if they were corrupted. So i called up to the Dept. and asked for the user to log off from this application which he had been connected to for over 5 days, When he does disconnect I see the applications .exe file disapear from the Folder view aswell as all the .ocx files that it uses. This explained to me why other ppl couldnt access the application(and why no one could figure out what exactly was going on since the OS still showed the app and its file being there). So after a reinstall of the APP everything went back to normal. So once I saw this right in front of me It came clear to me that the application that I belived wsa being disasociated from the OS in the past few weeks, actually suffered from the same problem this current application had. Anyways I am trying to find any information ppl may have on anything of this kind happening to them, or something I may try to stop this from happening. In our Corporation we run Trend Micro Officescan and all our machines are up to date on the definitions. I have yet to see Officescan find a virus on the server, or any of the terminals(Extra! app) that were afected by this problem the weeks prior to the big incident(PremierII). Any help will trully be appreciated. Thank you Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65552

    - Something is changing my firewall settings! Hello, I posted this already in microsoft.public.windows.networking.firewall but haven't heard anything, thought maybe this group would be appropriate -- this seems like a big deal, security-wise(?): I unchecked the "file and printer sharing" exception in XP SP2's firewall. (This exception is enabled by default) Somehow it re-checks itself! I can't tell when it happens but eventually (not necessarily just a reboot) it gets checked. A similar issue was posted in this item: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.networking.firewall/msg/7b293705ef8a35d2 But there didn't seem to be any resolution. How can this happen? How can i tell what is re-checking this? Thanks! Ed postscript: I loaded up the Regmon utility, and filtered on "FirewallPolicy". I caught the change occuring when I accessed shared files on my PC from a second PC on my *un-firewalled* LAN -- i have a second wireless LAN which is the one I want to protect.

    - Share Permissions and Security Groups I have the follwoing setup and I wanted to know if this is correct. Global Domain Share Share SubFolder Group local Perms NTFS NTFS PrjGrp1 Dept Dept-FC Dept-RX PrjGrp1-Modify The PrjGrp1 group is a global group of user accounts for an OU. The Dept group is Domain local for the OU which has a member of PrjGrp1. A Share call Sales has share permissions for the Domain Local group Dept as Full control. I know I can put the group Everyone but this adds an extra layer of security to the whole setup. The Sales Share NTFS permissions has the same domain local group but here it is given only Read, Execute and list folder permissions. A subfolder within the Sales Share - Project1 has NTFS permissions set to Modify for PrjGrp1 global group. This means that if Fred is in Global groups PrjGrp1 and PrjGrp3 (each referencing a subfolder in the Sales share ie Project 1 and Project 3), he will not gain access to the subfolder Project2 within Sales and the NTFS share permissions will not allow him to fiddle within the Share folder itself. For one domain setup are my group assignments correct? Should I make the Dept group a Global Group instead of a Domain local or should I be looking at a different setup?

    - Open Source Project Secure DHCP Provisioning System, Anyone Know o I was wondering if anyone knows of a commercial application or preferably an open source project that operates similar to the way users gain access to a broadband hotel internet connection. General description listed below: A network level application that manages access to your network. It prevents rogue computers from connecting to your network and gaining access to network resources. By restricting what computers can obtain a valid network IP Address, a network administrator has a low maintenance tool for managing access. A new user plugging into a SecureDHCP network will be assigned a "Special", non-routable IP address that will only allow them access to the SecureDHCP web site. This customizable web site can require a new user to, for example, fill out a form identifying themselves, acknowledge the reading of an "Acceptable Use Policy" document or download and install current virus software. The system will then replace their "Special" IP address with a valid network address that provides full access. Hardware addresses as well as user data are saved in a database for reporting and troubleshooting purposes. Anyone know of an open source project that seeks to meet this kind of need? Any information would be appreciated. -- Sincerely, J.M.Aloye Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65502

I have XP SP1 - is the new problem just for SP2? Robert C. Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65488

    - Access to other drives in the Workgroup I have one 'wired' computer (my desktop) and one 'wireless' computer (my laptop) all connected together thru a linksys router/access point. I've made both computer's "My Docs" shareable... but when I go to the workgroup the only thing I have 'access' to is the shared folders. When I try to access "my docs" on the other computer, I get and Access Denied error. I know I'm missing something...just don't know what it is. Thanks in advance for your help. mike Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65473

    - Norton Firewall "MSSQL_Null_Packet_DoS" I'm using an application to manipulate data in SQL server database on a remote computer. Sometimes when I use this application I'm getting this message on my Norton Personal Firewall and the application terminates: 'Attempted Intrusion "MSSQL_Null_Packet_DoS" from your machine against [IP] was detected and blocked.' The program was written by a new small company and I can't change the code. If I'm running this program on a computer without firewall, it works fine. My question is how I can allow this kind of communication for this application only in my Norton Personal Firewall without disabling the firewall. Tag: Networked anti-virus protection Tag: 65470

I have a home network connecting 3 PC's using a Microsoft wireless base
station with one PC running the base, another using a USB wireless adaptor
and another connected directly from the wireless base station via an ethernet
cable. The PC with the base station has Panda Titanium anti-virus softare
installed. My question is will either of the other 2 PC's be virus protected
because the base station PC has anti-virus protection installed, or do I need
to install protection on each PC?

Yes, get anti virus for all your systems also spyware protection for all of
them.
Here is what I recomend for each computer on a LAN that connects to the
Internet.
1) Firewall. If one computer gets a vruis or worm may protect other systems
on th LAN
2) Virus software on ALL systems on LAN no exceptions
3) Spyware protection on ALL systems in LAN again no exceptions.
4) Spam software
5) This is my own personal shoice. I use norton for virus, webroot and
spybot search&distory for spyware, Zone alarm for firewall for Spam?? I have
no personal choice in that. I do use thrunderbird for email and firefox for
broswer. Hope this helps some
