    - Users cannot connect from external domain. - We have users from an external Domain (DomainB) that can no longer connect to a file share on a server in our Domain (DomainA). - Both Domains have outgoing external trusts setup to each other, which have both been validated and are working OK. - DomainB users logon to their own domain, then connect though a drive mapping, and enter their DomainB credentials and connect to Server1\fileshare in our DomainA. - Server1 at this point gets two identical Security Event Log Audit Failure events for each attempt as follow â?? - Sourceâ??Security, Category-logon/logoff, EventID-537, user-NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM - Logon Failure: Reason: An error occurred during logon User Name: DomainBUser1 Domain: vtx-alt Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: DomainBWorkstation1 Status code: 0xC000005E Substatus code: 0x0 Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID: - Caller Process ID: - Transited Services: - Source Network Address: 172.2x.4x.1xx Source Port: 0 - The DomainB\group that has permissions to the share on Server1 can still be seen on the folders with the correct rights assigned, BUT if an attempt is made to add the same DomainB\group to another folder on Server1, whilst DomainB can be seen in the Locations box, it cannot resolve the group and cannot be added. - The above has been tested for other file servers in various VLans in DomainA, and none can resolve or add the DomainB\group. - 2 Domain Controllers from the same VLan as Server1, however, can resolve and add DomainB users & groups OK. And when a user from DomainB maps a drive and connects to a test share to which the DomainB\group has permissions to on these Domain Controllers, they can do so with their DomainB credentials, and all works as expected. - The two DCâ??s are in the same VLan as Server1, and they have the same DNS etc settings, - I believe these two DCâ??s hold the trust for DomainA to DomainB - Network team have confirmed that there are no Firewalls in place between DomainA & DomainB, and all servers on the Vlan that Server1 and the two DCâ??s are on are treated in exactly the same way. - There are no failed logon attempts on the DCâ??s from DomainB. Hope that all makes sense, and any help hugely appreciated! Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95917

    - Hacked!!! Question on port 137 I've recently had my linksys befsx41 router hacked. I've installed a packet sniffer and am watching the logs. Im noticing a random UDP Packet being sent out port 137 from my XP pro box. Its going to a few addresses in asia. Should I be overly concerned with this? It happens in safe mode which strikes me as odd. No viruses, trojans etc found. Thanks in advance, Ralph Gustavsen Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95910

    - Create certificate with makecert for LDAPS on a DC ? Hi, I would like to use LDAPS on my DC. I have already read this article : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/321051 ... but I am not able to create my self-signed certificate with certreq as I dont have any CA in my domain to submit the "request.req" file. So I tried to create my own certificate with makecert by using this command : "makecert -r -pe -n "CN=FQDN_OF_DC.domain.local" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2036 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12" The certificate is created in Personal\Certificates (under Computer) but when I watch the certificate status, I have a warning saying : "This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.". When I try to connect (locally)to my LDAPS using ldp.exe , I have an error "Error <0x51>: Fail to connect to FQDN_OF_DC.domain.local." Do you think I have this problem because of the fact the certificate that I have created has not been delivered by a Trusted root CA store ? Is there a way to bypass this limitation by creating a self signed certificate for my DC that will let me try to use LDAPS ? Thank you :) P.S: Sorry for my english ;-) -- bigstyle MVP Windows Server - Directory Services MCSE 2000/2003 Security Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95909

    - lookupaccountname and workgroups hello, i asked this question in win32.programming.networks but got the advice to try here, so here we go... my basic problem is, when im calling LookupAccountName on a process running as localsystem when not member of a domain (i.e., the machine is in a workgroup) it returns 1332: no mapping between account names and security ids was done. i have been experimenting a bit using a small program similar to this pseudo-c++: string username GetUserNameEx (NameSamCompatible, username, username.length) print (username) string domainname // the sid things here are out parameters not relevant for my example if (LookupAccountName (NULL, username, sidbuf, sidbuf.length, domainname, domainname.length, sidthing)) { print (domainname) } else { print (geterror ()) } when running as user on a machine on a domain i get: username: mydomain\jdoe domainname: mydomain running as localsystem on a domain i get: username: mydomain\mycomputer$ domain: mydomain but, running as user on a machine in a workgroup i get: username: mycomputer\jdoe domain: mycomputer and finally, running as localsystem when in a workgroup i get: username: workgroup\mycomputer$ domainname fails with 1332 as noted above an interesting side note is that the domain part of the username differs in the last two examples... after some trial and error i discovered that if i removed the domain part and the trailing $ from the username the call to lookupaccountname succeeds, but returns the same domainname as username (e.g., mycomputer in the example above). do i have to make a condition like if (in_workgroup && localsystem) { ... } or have i got something else wrong here? regards, lars Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95907

    - SAMR OpenUser fails with C0000022 Hi everybody! A customer of ours operates an AD with one domain and a couple of subdomains spread over few dozens AD-Servers across their intranet. On one of the member servers (W2003) in their HQ there is an application that authenticates users from several sub domains against the respective AD-Servers (W2000). For users from some of the subdomains, the authentication works, for at least three of the subdomains the authentication fails. I do not have source code access for this application but I captured the network traffic and it seems like the SamrOpenUser request gets a c0000022 (STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) response from the subdomain controllers. We checked the ACL on the "user" object in the AD - it had sufficient access rights for a read access set. Also, a object access audit on the AD "user" object showed no failure. What other settings can cause a STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED response for the SamrOpenUser request? Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95900

    - Error: 0x00000046 - when requesting certificates Hey, We have an internal PKI utilising an offlint root and policy server, and an AD integrated enterprise issuing server. We've distributed our root certificate via a GPO to all workstations/servers in AD. We have a number of certifcate templates for SSL certs. We permission these with Role groups to define who can request and modify the certs. We have one problematic box, when requesting a certificate via servername\certsrv we get a permission denied error: "An error occurred while creating the certificate request. Please verify that your CSP supports any settings you have made and that your input is valid. Suggested cause: You do not have write permission to save the file to the path Error: 0x00000046 - Permission Denied" The request is for a generic SSL certificate so that a secure channel can be used to communicate between 2 boxes. The certificate request never reaches the enterprise issuing server (no record of failed request). The error message indicates a permission issue, but the way we permission the templates is such that you wont see the cert via the web interface if your not a member of the group which can request this certificate type. The user requesting the certificate is a member of builtin\administrators of the box requesting the certificate. Anyone have any suggestions? Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95854

    - Is there a file access reporting program available On some other OS's there have been (usually optional) programs available to perform what amounts to a security audit of the filesystem (specifically individual file access) on a per user basis; they can provide a complete listing of all files on the system that user 'X' can access, and what that access is, or generate a blanket report of all files that meet certain access specifications (like world read access). Is there any equivalent to that capability for Windows Server 2003 or newer? We really don't want to roll our own but I haven't been able to come up with a google search that isn't overloaded with other security issues. Thanks. Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95831

    - 802.1x wired computers I am implementing 802.1x for WIRED computers. I have a CA which issues machine certificates to all domain computers. I am able to see the machine certificate via mmc. I have IAS installed on my DC and configured the remote policy as ethernet and wiredusers. Now the problem. Some of my computers get "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you to the network" others work just fine. Not sure where to look. It is a particular model here but when I reimage the computer it works fine. I've tried deleting the certificate and having the CA issue a new one. No go. Added and removed from the domain. No go. Any ideas on where to look? I don't have the time to reimage all the computer with problems. Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95825

    - Change 2003/XP network-connections behavior back to previous mode Probably the answer will be NO, but just thought I'd ask anyway... On NT servers we backup using a service which mirrors the files to a share. Issue is that Microsoft have now implemented a change in the way drive-mappings work, such that a drive mapping or UNC share is now ONLY accessible inside the the user-session which created it. This make it impossible to backup to a network share UNLESS the backup-program itself runs on the desktop instead of as a service. Running the service under the same credentials as the desktop session doesn't seem to work, either, it's as if that just creates two 'clone' users with independent settings instead of running the service in the same session. Is there any way of restoring the previous behavior, which IMHO is the 'right' behaviour, whereas the new arrangement creates all kinds of problems, especially for services which need to access the LAN. The only other solution is to take the password-security off the share - and that is really a ludicrous situation to be in, having to ditch security for the sake of this ill-advised change.

    - Share Permissions, acting different between Vista and XP Hi there, I am trying to create folder with permissions, My normal routine when setting up a new share is to. 1)Share the folder, Then access the share permissions, Then add the authenticated users group and grant that group full control. Then Iâ??ll remove the everyone group. 2)Then access the NTFS permissions and grant â??xzyâ?? groups the different levels of access; read/list, full control, whatever. Accessing the share from Vista and XP no problems. Now the issue Iâ??m having is, Iâ??m trying to be more â??granularâ?? with the Share permissions and not use the everyone or authenticated user groups for the share permission and want to use â??xyzâ?? groups for share and NTFS permissions. The step I take are as follows. 1)Share the folder, Then access the share permissions, Then add the â??xyzâ?? users group and grant that group full control. Then Iâ??ll remove the everyone group, â??xyzâ?? group is the only group at the share level. 2)Then access the NTFS permissions and grant â??xzyâ?? groups the different levels of access; read/list, full control, whatever. Accessing the share from my XP pc I have no problems, BUT when I try accessing the share from my vista pc Iâ??m getting a deny, you donâ??t have permission. I hope I made sense. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks in advance Here's a simplified version of my setup (running on Windows 2003 Server): root_folder "root_folder" is shared, with full control given to Everyone. Security permissions on the folder itself are full control for Administrators, Creator/Owner, and Users (folder, subfolders, and files). Both "completed" and "working" are set to inherit from "root_folder". In addition, "completed" has an extra permission, set to deny everything except read access to Users. What I find is that, this deny permission also applies to the Administrator account, which is in no way a member of the Users group. I want to be able to move any folder from "working" into "completed" (regardless of who the folder owner/creator is), and by doing so, automatically make the folder read-only to members of the Users group. From what I know about NTFS permissions, this basically forces me to use explicit Deny permissions. If I simply remove the Users group from the permission entries of "completed", then any folder created by a member of the Users group will still be under full control of that user, even after being moved to "completed". I also do not want to re-apply all child permissions every time I move a folder into "completed". I hope I made sense. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks in advance.

    - Automatic Updates security concern Hi, Is there any way of setting the AU repository so it never uses https (tcp 443) and only uses http (tcp 80)? Or, it uses only admin allowed update servers? This might be a bit strange, but on a highly security strict LAN with content filtering proxy (as in this case), this imposes a security risk since https doesn't permit content parsing. Meaning that tcp 443 rules *must* be set at the routers/firewalls and so, default configured http clients (browsers on out-of-the box installs for instance) end up rendering content that they weren't suposed to.

    - spam email sender field Some Rolex Replica spam emails sent to me have my email address showing in email-received-list SENDER field. Many more, in the SENDER field, show my email address with a small variation such as an added number or an added letter or a few different letters. Some of these emails are identified in my email-received-list as having attachments. I never open the email to prevent activating a virus or spy action it might contain. I receive a lot of these and most go directly to my spam folder. Does anyone know about such emails? If so, please explain this technique and possible problems they cause if opened. Thank you.

    - WinXPSP2 IE 7 Security Zones - security concern I recently noticed that in my Trusted Sites zone, there is an entry, "HTTP://", with no further domain identifier. I did not make this entry and when I attempt to remove it, I get a system error beep and the entry is then greyed out. I checked a number of other WinXPSP2 machines in my network, all subject to the same GPOs, and none of them have this entry. (NOTE:The subject machine is a dual-boot with Vista Ultimate; the problem is absent from that instance of IE 7 and from another instance of XPSP2 I have running under VPC 2004 SP1, all on the same machine). As a test, I uninstalled IE 7. When the machine was rolled back to IE 6, the entry was still there but I could delete it - or so it appeared. Upon reopening IE after the apparent delete, the HTTP:// entry had reappeared. Is this some kind of security attack? (possibly trying to wildcard all websites as though they were trusted?). Because the roll back to IE 6 did not solve the problem, I reinstalled IE 7 and the entry persists, with the same behaviour as before. I ran a full system AV scan with up-to-the-minute AVG and no threats were found. Nevertheless, how can I remedy this problem? -- V2 Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95803

    - When will MSRC adopt CVSS v2? It appears that there are multiple forces driving the adoption of CVSS over proprietary, opaque vulnerability rating systems (cf. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/rating.mspx): 1. NIST/FIRST recently updated CVSS to version 2.0 (http:// www.first.org/cvss), demonstrating that this is a viable, healthy system worthy of significant enhancements. 2. There are increasing signs that major vendors are adopting CVSS (e.g. NIST, DHS, IBM, Qualys, Cisco, Amazon - http://www.first.org/cvss/eadopters.html). These are not the kinds of players to which Microsoft is typically hostile or reticent to join in industry-wide security efforts. MSRC has been using the CVE standard vulnerability identifiers for quite a while, and I notice that the CVE articles call out CVSS ratings as a primary metric (so there's an implicit compatibility and alignment with the MSRC's direction). Many of the factors that historically went into the proprietary MSRC rating system are similar if not identical to the factors included in CVSS v2. As well, I see that CVSS allows for "environmental factors" that are specific to each organization, so I'd imagine that any objection that "this doesn't fit our needs" should have been addressed there. So the ultimate question is this: when does MSRC plan to make the switch to CVSS v2 in their bulletins? It seems to me that this is a question not of IF, but HOW LONG it'll take Microsoft to muster up the strength and energy to tear themselves away from a 5+-year-old proprietary assessment system, and join with the rest of the industry leaders in giving their customers consistency for enterprise IT planning. :) Cheers, Mike Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95797

    - Access denied on share, how to reset to default security settings? I get an Access Denied error from any PC in my workgroup trying to access a share on one XPSP2 pro system. This XP system was removed from a secure domain. Windows Firewall claims some settings are controlled by group policy. How can I reset the security settings to the workgroup defaults so my file share works properly? This is driving me nuts. - Leland Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95796

We need to remove all versions of the software from our campus because of software conflicts and errors that users keep receiving. We need to implement this removal through SMS and have been unable to find a removal tool that removes all versions of Defender or all versions of Anti-Spyware. Are there any removal tools that work?

I see that I can set the scope for an IP or a list of IPs. How can I set it for a couple of ranges of IPs? (Reason: Our hosted web server allows connection with RDP. I've already changed it to a non-standard port and have made the exception for this in the Windows Firewall. Want to only allow RDP connections from our offices -- which are on dynamic IPs.)

    - Smart Card Logon and 802.1x Authentication I've read some content that indicated that a Smart Card Logon certificate could not be used for 802.1x Authentication with the 802.1X Windows Client. Is this restriction still true or is this outdated information ? This is a tough restriction for something like a PIV Card, which as one (of four) certificates dedicated to authentication purposes. The authentication certificate works well for Smart Card Logon and in some environments would need to be used for 802.1x authentication for wireless as well. That restriction basically kills everything if you have alot of wireless going on. Tag: Root CA on a VM Tag: 95770

Hello,

I wonder if it a good idea. I want to install my root CA on a Virtual
Machine, and burn virtual hard drive into a DVD. It's more handy for
me than use a dedicated hardware.

What do you think about this way ?

Yes, it would work.
Would I do it, no...
Too easy to have someone walk out the door with a DVD.
