    - patch info for advapi32.dll in win2k sp4 I am installing cspdk in window 2000 sp4. I signed the sample csp. However, when I run testcsp.exe, I got "Calling CryptAcquireContext - CryptAcquireConext returned error 80090006 (NTE Bad signature)Failed" error. I know the problem is due to incorrect patch version of advapi32.dll. I got a advapi32.dll version of 5.0.2195.6876, Can someone provide me the patch info for this version of the advapi32.dll? I know there are many postings regarding this information. But I can't find the patch info via searching "advapi32" in this forum. Your help is much appreciated.

    - DHCP and VLANs I'm currently in college and we are setting up a network to experiment with. I was wondering if there was a way to set DHCP on our server so that it either corrosponds with a port number on the switch or the VLAN number. So I have the 10.3.x.x /16 network and I want to make all the clients on VLAN 2 to use 10.3.2.x scope, clients on VLAN 3 to use 10.3.3.x scope and so on. I have all my scopes setup and now I'm to the point where I either have to go in and figure out how to set the switch up to handle this or set up Server 2003 to handle this. The problem is I'm not real sure on how to accomplish this. I'm going to graduate this spring and I've had Cisco classes 1-6 and a Microsoft Server 2003 class. Sadly my Server 2003 class had a teacher that really didn't know much other then the basic set up users, the AD, and basic DHCP, DNS. I've read some other posts that people are trying to do similar things but it's just not the same. I'm sure I have the resources to accomplish this I just need a push in the right direction. I'm want to do it like this way so that when we setup ACLs and put up the firewall, that it will be easier to monitor and restrict access. Also if anyone out there has just some basic tips on security (I'm in the middle of my security class now and haven't learned all that much) I'd appreciate it. Thank you for your time!!!!

    - Multiple Accounts Being Locked Out - HELP Please!! I am running a Windows NT 4.0 Domain with a PDC and BDC. We have about 800 users. What I noticed today is that each account is being alphabetically locked out because there are a lot of unsuccessful logon attempts (approx. 100 attempts per account). I noticed that the attacks were coming from 3 PCs. I removed the PCs from the network and checked to verify that the eventlogs on the PDC/BDC had stopped locking out accounts. About 30 minutes later, the problem started again from a different PC. The PCs I had removed were checked for spyware and viruses. One had the Bat.Noshare.v virus, the other was clean. The 4th PC that started causing the problem was also checked for viruses and spyware. It was also updated with critical patches, yet the problem persists. Please help!! I can't determine what is causing this and therefore, I can't find a fix for it. Sincerely, Jerry (At My Witts End) Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66920

    - Which regulation governs data backup retention ? I work for a 5,000 public institution and I would like to confirm whether there are regulations that dictates data backup should be performed on tapes and stored off-site ? How often back-up should be performed ? The discussion here is that a co-worker would like to adopt disk-to-disk backups in the data center (what I agree) and perform only backups on remote locations connected via fiber for DR purposes. My point is that backing up to remote locations don't cover threats against cyberattack or virus outbreaks. I mean, in my view in addition to a data backup in disk, there are still reasons to perform a data backup in a portable medium such as tape to assure that such data is clean and out of range of virus or cyber-attack events. In addition, if it is determined that a data backup to tape is necessary, such co-worker would like to perform a tape backup only once a month. Does Sarb-Oxley handles such data backup requirementss ? Please advise. Let me know what you think. Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66918

    - Security hole in file sharing (bug?) I don't know if this has already been reported. I have a Windows XP SP2 computer, fully up-to-date with patches, which connects to the Internet through a dial-up connection. In the network settings for the dial-up connection, I have disabled the "client for Microsoft networks" and "file and print sharing" components, and I've also disabled NetBIOS on the TCP/IP settings. With this configuration, I was quite sure my shares wouldn't have been exposed to Internet users... but I found, instead, that they are. Altough disabled, the file sharing services are fully accessible, and I was able to connect to them and also use them (by supplying my username/password). What's happening here? Are not the connection-specific settings valid anymore? This seems to me quite a serious bug! Massimo P.S. I know I can activate the built-in firewall, or stop the server service, or fully remove the file sharing network component, and so on... but I want to know why I'm settings things right and they're behaving wrong!

    - Mysterious Stranger - Unknown "Program Running" When I start to switch users (WinXP home - Fast User Switching), the logon screen often indicates that the User Account I have exited has One More Program running than I think it should have. I can re-enter the User Account and run Task Manager only to find no applications running. Yet I can close Task Manager, fast switch to the logon and there is the message "1 program running". I'm not sure but I think this started appearing at about the same time as I installed MS AntiSpyware Beta1 and intalled the recent updates. Could a "process" or "service" be falsely identified as a "Program Running"? Any thoughts are appreciated. I tried looking at processes with "services.msc" and found much more than I expected (is all this really necessary?!?!?). I have also become more aware (sleepily so) of scanner reports indicating that 700+ processes have been scanned, etc. My brain hurts... Thanks for help, CT Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66896

    - Future of DUN connection Windows updates? Just read the MSNBC article "Pirated Windows copies to get fewer fixes: Microsoft plans severe restrictions on security updates" from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6868504/ BTW - All my PC's contain valid Windows XP Pro software. What I hope this does NOT mean - that updates must be download and applied ONLY from the computer the updates apply to. In other words, will I be still be able to download updates from my broadband connection at work for my home computer with a slow rural 24Kbps dial-up modem connection? If not, then my home computer is screwed. Updates larger than 2MB, on my DUN, are rarely successfull, so, try to imagine doing a 15+MB update! A solution would be to have an option where Windows Update creates a file of the updates for my HOME PC that I could take to work, download the updates from work, take them home and apply them. All of this could be managed through Windows Update to verify the validity of the OS at each location, i.e. HOME and WORK. Of course, this all applies to Office updates too. Any thoughts people?

    - Unable to open excel sheet in Protected mode from VB 6.0 Hi, I am working on a project in VB6.0 and SQL Server. We use MS Excel for our reports. We also use server side COM+ components. We have a situation where we are not able to open some of the reports in 'protected' mode (i.e, to prevent the users from making changes to the excel report). When we try to open these in protected mode, the application is crashing, giving a Dr. Watson error. When we change the VB code to open the excel reports in 'Unprotected' mode, the applcation works alright. But in this case, the users would be able to change the reports as they like. Why am I not able to open these excel reports in protected mode from my VB6.0 exe? Is there a way, where we can prevent the users from making changes to the excel report, even if we open it in 'unprotected' mode? We tried using the 'Read Only Recommended' option but that allows the users to make changes and save changes as some other file name (although the users are prevented from making changes to the same file) and this cannot be allowed in our application. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ourspt Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66876

    - Custom PASSFILT.DLL and Complexity in GP I have developed my own passfilt.dll file. I copied it to all four of my Win2K3 DC's and added the registry entry under the LSA key Notification Packages. My problem is that I only enabled password complexity on a single group policy (not the default domain policy or default domain controller policy) that I applied to a test OU. I also further limited the policy to a single user for testing in the GPMC. However any user that now tries to change their password has the new password go through the passfilt.dll even though complexity is not enabled on any policy that applies to them. What gives? From what I have read, you have to add the reg value to the Notification Packages key AND enable complexity on a group policy. Why would it apply the password filter to users from whom it is not enabled? Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66855

    - Installing Fonts Hello, I am responsible for about 40 computers on a Windows 2000 Server, which some of them have XP Pro. Do not want users to be able to install software, so I have them set up as a User. Although, I have one user who needs to be able to install fonts as he needs them, but no other software or hardware. With User rights, we get a message "The ERASER.TTF is currently being used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished using the file, and then try again." It doesn't say you don't have permissions to do this. When I give this individual Power User rights, he is able to install fonts with no error message. I don't want to give him Power User rights. If I give him Power User rights, he'll be able to install other software and hardware. Is there a work around to accomplish this? Any suggestions would be helpful.

From time to time, 1 or 2, may be 10 computers suddenly shows this error message "User not allowed to logon at this computer" or something like that, when a normal domain user tries to log on. The same user is able to log into other workstations that are in the same OU. Reboot does not solve the problem. Reset the computer account does not solve the problem. Leave the workstation for a few days does not solve the problem. Disjoin the workstation from domain and rejoin it back solve the problem. Users belong to the local administrators group are able to log onto the computer. I used the domain admin to logon and checked the local security settings. I found nothing wrong. I checked the local groups and found nothing wrong too. When I checked the event log, there were 533 events generated everytime a denied logon was attempted. Other than that there was nothing suspicious. I used "netdom" to verify the security channel and it returned an ok to me. I had turned off the workstation maintenance policy ages ago. That did not help. Any idea? Jeremy Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66789

Tag: Problem with my Hosts File Tag: 66703

I'm using the Hosts file and the RenHosts.bat file (for toggling on and off)
from this site below
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
Since downloading the Hosts file a few days ago I've always had it on but
today I've tried to turn the hosts file off for the first time and if wont
de-activate. Along the top of the prompt screen I get a message saying,
"duplicate file name exists, or the file cannot be found". Can somebody shed
some light as to what this means?
