    - Serial/Thumbprint of Certificate attached to CA? Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to find out the Serial # and/or thumbprint of the certificate that is associated with a Certification Authority. The problem is we have multiple certificates with the same name, and since there is a problem with the certificate I get an "access denied" when I attempt to access it through the CA properties. I have tried to back up the CA but always get an error, perhaps associated with the "acess denied" to the certificate itself. If anyone could adivse on this I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

    - Spyware doctor. Is it free? I installed 1 month ago spyware doctor ver. 3.2.1.359 on one pc; supposedly, free. Well, i want to install it at my home pc too. But, at a few known sites, like tucows, download.com and majorgeeks, this program is says shareware for $29.95. I remember reading something about this on the other pc. but, my work pc still has this program installed and its not a registered version nor a dime has been paid for it. Can I safetly download it at home. And assume that I wont get charged later on? is it a trial with a time limit?? If something says it needs or if I want to register it, does that mean $$$$$ time??

    - hotbar trying to install Hi- I have been using the ms antispy program at home for about 2 months now. when I log on to my user account, all is ok. But lately, when my daughter logs into her user account, after a few seconds, the red box from Microsoft antispy program says that this threat wants to install; and if I want to remove it. I click yes. it says it removes it. I scan right away, and the next time we turn off/on the pc and go into her acc't, this warning comes back. scans done= ad-ware, spybot S & D, spyware doctor, Ewido, MS antispy. Did them in safe mode. Only thing found, this last time, was with MS-antispy; and it was some searchbar threat and a tracking cookie. I went to Majorgeeks and dloaded a program specifically for this threat and it come up clean. will try it again as well as any others suggested here. hope you can help.

    - How can you compromise a SQL Server via Front-End Server ? Imagine this: I have a Sharepoint Front-End web server in the "Forest-Perimeter" network (some call it DMZ). Imagine the SQL server such Sharepoint server uses continues to be housed in the "Internal" network. Therefore I would need to open a hole in the ISA firewall to allow communication between the Sharepoint Front-End<----> SQL Server (internal) network. Can you tell me the mechanism and likelyhood of getting such SQL server compromised via this Front-End web server ? I know you can hit a SQL server pretty hard if you can explore SQL server injections, but let's assume you use store procedures to avoid SQL server injections. Tag: Rest password emails Tag: 75978

    - FTP Server HELP!!! An unknown user used a program to try to script through about 8 different usernames, and like 300 passwords each in attempts to hack my FTP Server on my SBS 2003 Premium Server. Dilema, I hadn't ever created a "just in case" backup admin account. I try to never use admin privledges on the server, and with the negative implications of following the recommendations to rename Administrator, I have hesitated to do so, however after 300 failed login attempts, the Administrator account was locked out. Now I've recovered my access to my system, but I have some "obscurity" goals I'd like to try. I have found the following and implemented it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826270 Now I would like my FTP SVC to at the least broadcast external.domain.com rather than server.domain.local on the "Connected to:" line.

    - accounts in two groups - Administrators and Power Users - who wins Does one group take precedence over the other. I had a situation where the user's accoutn was in both groups but when trying to install software, it appeared as if he did not have enough privileges. One of my technicians signed in as administrator and was able to install the software without a problem. When he signed in as the user who was in both Power Users and Admins, he said the install did not work. So the general question is how does Windows decide how to apply group membership roles.

    - Forest/Domain in the "DMZ" to accomodate web, front-end servers Imagine I have an IT guru in my organization and (political forces behind him) that don't let me put ANY front-end server in the internal network. I mean, I have Exchange 2003 OWA and Sharepoint servers that, to this date, have been published via ISA 2004 and in my view that was provided adequate security. Now imagine that I must put all servers that reside in the "internal" network in the "DMZ". Do you think it makes sense if I setup a "Domain-DMZ" and put all such front-end servers there and allow a one-way trust relantioship where my existing "domain-dmz" trusts the "corporate domain" ? Then I would put the Sharepoint Servers (front-end) and Exchange (front-end) and such DMZ-DOMAIN ? Do you really believe this would be a good security implementation for a mid size organization ?

    - Vendor support security Hi all, Can anyone tell me or point me to a document to back me up on dos and don'ts when allowing vendor support connections. Does anyone have a policy that I can go by on this? We have setup a vpn (pptp) connection using pcanywhere, allow webex, and have a dialup modem using pcanywhere connections. The vendor still has a problem with me using group policy security and windows xp security. All my users do NOT have administrators rights to their workstation. The vendor insists that that is needed in order for him to connection with webex and fix a problem. The software is installed on an SQL server where he has a vpn connection and can connect with webex to have full control of the software. The only thing installed on the workstation is the SQL client which I installed and can maintain. Just would like to see other network/security administrators' policies on this.

    - Bypass Traverse Checking not working I am having trouble getting Bypass Traverse checking working on my Windows 2003 EE server in a Windows 2003 domain. I have set Bypass Traverse Checking to Authenticated Users via Group Policy. However I have a service account that can not delete a file in the C:\Temp folder. The service account has Modify permissions to the C:\Temp folder and no permissions to C:\ Theoretically it should traverse C:\ and be able to find C:\Temp If I give the Service account the NTFS permission of "Travers Folder \ Execute File" the service account can then delete the file in the C:\Temp folder. I do not understand this as Bypass Travers Checking should give the same results. The following TechNet article states "Traverse folder takes effect only when the group or user is not granted the Bypass traverse checking user right in the Group Policy snap-in". http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/e4be109f-5547-4df8-90f0-4d885dc302e7.mspx Any idea on why Bypass Travers Checking does to appear to be applied?

    - CreateEvent fails with ERROR_INVALID_OWNER We're calling the Win32, CreateEvent, and it's failing with ERROR_INVALID_OWNER = "this security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object". Here's the setup. We have a .NET class library (called .CAL) that calls into an unmanaged C-callable DLL (OMDAPI.DLL). The class library is hosted in a Web page. The Web page is running in IIS with anonymous access turned off. The web.config contains these entries: <authentication mode="Windows" /> <identity impersonate="true" userName="" password="" /> Therefore, we're trying to have the Web page impersonate the client browser's user. When OMDAPI.DLL connects to the ASPNET_WP process, during the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, it creates a static CSecurityDescriptor (from ATL). It calls InitializeFromThreadToken() on that CSecurityDescriptor. The DACL is null for this CSecurityDescriptor. The first user connects to the page, which calls into the class library which calls into the DLL. The DLL calls CreateEvent with a unique name and a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure. The event name is generated from the username and some other data. Therefore, for each user, we're generating a different event name. The SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure is filled in with the CSecurityDesriptor (m_pSD) that was created during DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH. The first user's call to CreateEvent succeeds. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is the first time this security descriptor is actually used. The second user that logs in fails with ERROR_INVALID_OWNER. The second user is coming in from a different machine since we're using impersonation, it must be from a different user. It's been seen, sometimes on Windows Server 2003, that the second user gets in OK, but the third user fails. So basically, it fails after at most 3 users. The primary test platform has been Windows 2000. Now, OMDAPI.DLL has been around for a long time (6-7 years) and works fine in stand-alone, multi-threaded Windows applications. It has only started failing now that we're hosting this in a Web page. I've tried giving the ASPNET user account these privileges but they don't work: - administrator privileges - "act as part of the operating system" I haven't verified this, but it seems likely that each user is coming in on a different thread. The first user gets in and grabs ownership of that security descriptor. Then when the second user comes in on the second thread, it fails because it's already owned by the first thread/user. Does that sound reasonable? Some other things: - it's not in our class library because someone else wrote their own class library and called into OMDAPI.DLL and they get the same problem. - We're not trying to recreate the event name because it's different for each user. Any help as to why we're getting this ERROR_INVALID_OWNER would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: Rest password emails Tag: 75852

    - RPC Server Unavailable When Requesting Computer Certificate Hi, I'm trying to set up a machine for use with our VPN. We will be using L2TP & smartcards, so I need to request a computer certificate. Up till now I've been able to configure most computer when people are in the office, connected to the domain, using automatic certificate deployment via group policy. However we have 1 user who is not going to be in the office, but needs VPN access. So I've changed the VPN access to allow PPTP temporarily, and asked him to connect, then I've used remote assistance to terminal service into his machine. From there I've managed to use the web based enrollment to download the CA certificate, and tried to use the certificates MMC snap in to request a computer certificate. However I get the initial screen up, asking which certificate I'd like, common name etc, but when I press finish, the system hangs for about 10 seconds, then errors with "RPC Server is unavailable". At first I thought this might be a firewall issue, as he was running windows firewall, as well as Symantec firewall. So I disabled both, and also the firewall on his 3com router. However after trying again, with a number of reboots, it still errors. I can ping the CA, the domain, and other computers. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can successfully request a computer certificate? Is there another way of doing it? I notice there is no computer certificate option in the web enrollment form, even though the template has been added to the CA. We're using ISA 2004 as the VPN server, and it's allowing all protocols through from VPN > internal, and Internal > VPN. The DC is windows 2003 server, and the client machine is Windows XP pro SP2.

I just don't understand why is not working as it supposed to. I want my XP box to behave like a 9x one.

    - Suspicious processes!!!! hi all, after researching processes running in my task manager i came across this process, wuauclt.exe - This is used by the automatic update tool in Windows ME to check the Windows Update site every so often to see if any updates need to be installed. it also said, The original wuauclt.exe from Microsoft gets placed in the Located at C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuauclt.exe . If you find it anywhere else then you should be suspicious for sure. So i did a file search on my c:\ and found 4 files, here they are, WUAUCLT, in, c:\1386, 137kb, application, date modified 8/29/2002 WUAUCLT.exe-1360D60A, in, c:\WINDOWS\prefetch, 25kb, pf file, date modified 9/15/2005 wuauclt, in, c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, 122kb, application, date modified 5/26/2005 wuauclt, in, c:\WINDOWS\servicepackfiles\i386, 109kb, application, date modified 8/4/2004. could one of these be a virus/trojan? if so, how do i determine which one? I also have 5 svchost.exe using 51,000k between them, this cant be right surely!I have scanned with AVG, spybot s&d and ad-aware (all updated) and found nothing. please help, thank you. lee. xp sp2 Tag: Rest password emails Tag: 75800

I have received at least 10 emails recently from Microsoft Customer Support
saying I have requested via email to reset my hotmail password. Enter this
link to reset, or if you did not request enter this link. I have never once
asked to reset my password, so i always click the 2nd link, but why am I
receiving these?

Because you keep clicking on the link. These are phishing emails (google
the term for details). Microsoft would never send you an email to do
this.
