    - Access Control to Drives My HD has two partitions: C: (operating system and programs) and D: (data). The Operating System is Windows 2000 Pro. While checking the PROPERTIES --> SECURITY settings, I found that: For Drive C, User â??EVERYONEâ?? has â??FULL ACCESS CONTROLâ??. For Drive D, there are three users with â??FULL ACCESS CONTROLâ??: Administrator, UserA (that me), S-1-5-21-121â?¦(long string) Since there is no network, both drives are set to â??Donâ??t shareâ??. Questions: 1. What is the proper security setting for Drive C and Drive D? 2. What is the third mysterious user that has control of Drive D? Should I remove it? 3. Should I change the security setting if I install an external hard drive for back-up? Thank you for your help. Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 76071

    - Very weird ping problem I have a few networks here. EXT FW&WAP -> SBS2003 w/ ISA2004 -> Internal LAN -> LAN GW&WAP -> Internal LAN DSL -> 192.168.1.x -> 192.168.16.x SBS is 192.168.1.200 LAN GW&WAP is 192.168.1.2 EXT FW&WAP is 192.168.1.1 SBS Internal is 192.168.16.4 LAN GW&WAP is 192.168.16.1 LAN/DHCP (on SBS) Default Gateway is 192.168.16.1 SBS Defautl GW in on Ext NIC and is 192.168.1.1 No GW defined on SBS internal NIC Problem.... Everytime I try to ping or tracert from my SBS Server to the internet my External Network Interface goes offline and reports "unplugged" and I get a "Hardware Error" in my CMD windows. A few minutes later the interface re-initializes and goes online. This server publishes content to the internet frequently every day, and serves as a Web, FTP, SMTP and other services server, all day long. Nothing else causes this, it only happens if I try to Ping or Tracert. Any ideas? It's a home server, that is very much not critical, and merely there for my ability to learn about things and keep in touch with other avenues of the industry while not managing my corporate network at the office. In addition to that, everything else works. It is serving web/ftp/smtp requests all day long, without error. So... it is my preference not to just "fix" a problem by removing hardware and registry settings for something like this that is of rare concern to me. I'd rather try to identify with the support of others, cause clearly I have reached my threshold here, the root cause of the situation to which I am experiencing. I would be honored if anyone would be kind enough to humor my idealism in this situation, and would furthermore be thrilled to actually identify something, whether resolution/root cause is ever found or not.

    - How to prevent stealing password Hi.I have free mail accounts in Hotmail and in Yahoo. They both offer security logging so the informations sent would be encrypted. Most public PCs are infected with spyware and viruses and I wonder if I access my mail account (in Hotmail for example) from an infected public PC , will some hacker be able to access my mail later because the keyloggers has saved my password.I have heard that if the info is encrypted ,like in Yahoo and in Hotmail,no spyware ,keylogger or hacker,noone would be able to see(save) my password. Is that true? :) Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 76043

    - Force reboot in WSUS We've used SUS for quite some time now to distribute updates. I am in the process of moving to WSUS and for the most part things seem to be working well. One nice feature is the ability to see if a user has taken on the patches. I know for a fact that currently many users blow past the install and/or reboot prompts that they receive when SUS is trying to do its thing. Ultimately I believe that we end up with machines that are not properly patched. In WSUS it's nice to be able to get a report on the status of those machines, but is there a way to force that PC to reboot remotely so that all the patches are properly done?

    - Internal Audit question I am an IT auditor for an internal audit department. Our company uses Active Directory with Winows 2000 and 2003 servers and XP Pro workstations. Currently our IT support personnel have admin access to servers and workstations. My question is: Is there a way to allow the IT support personnel to do their job while restricting access to user data? The IT support people need to apply upgrades, install software, etc. We want to allow them to do this but restrict their access to user data in the Docs & Settings folder on the workstations, user directories on the servers, etc. Currently the IT support people have admin rights on the workstations. Can they do their job as a Limited user with proper permissions? I know this is a long post but i would appreciate any help. Thanks. -- wweldin -- wweldin Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 76022

    - Computer and User Certificates Issues Hello, I have setup a Windows Server 2003 box in a test environment as a RADIUS Server using IAS to familiarise with Wireless Networking Authentication (we are intending to deploy some Windows 2003 systems as RADIUS Servers in the near future). The authentication method that I am hoping to use is EAP-TLS, which I understand requires User and Computer Certificates. Hence, I installed a CA on the Server, and duplicated the User and Computer Certificate Templates, changing only the Expiration Times. Both Templates have Authenticated Users with Read Access, Domain Admins with Full Access. The new User Template has Domain Users with Enroll and AutoEnroll Access and the same for Computer Template except for Domain Computers group. We have configured the Domain Level GPO to grant Automatic Certificate Enrollment. However, when computers in the test environment update Group Policy they all contain the following events: Event Type: Error Event Source: AutoEnrollment Event Category: None Event ID: 13 Date: 22/09/2005 Time: 9:54:16 PM User: N/A Computer: EPT-101 Description: Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to enroll for one LFN Computer certificate (0x80070005). Access is denied. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Event Type: Error Event Source: AutoEnrollment Event Category: None Event ID: 13 Date: 22/09/2005 Time: 10:09:49 PM User: N/A Computer: EPT-201 Description: Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to enroll for one LFN Computer certificate (0x80070005). Access is denied. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Where have I gone wrong? These are XP SP2 clients, I previously tried enabling detailed Enrollment Logging but the additional events provided no extra information.

    - What creates these files? I originally posted this on an Outlook discussion group, but have since realised Security might have been more appropriate, so am copying it here with minor additions. For less than one full day, both NAV and AVG indicated that files that are constantly created in "C:/Documents and settings/<user>/Local settings/Temp" with names "CC*.tmp" (they appear to be named using hexadecimal notation of a byte) have the Netsky.P or .Q worms. Is this NAV/NIS creating these files as a result of using MS Outlook, and why would the files have an old worm? Investigating how these worms work shows that the system does not appear to be infected with these worms. But the "CC*.tmp" files are always being recreated. Any suggestions how to eliminate the problem? For further information, warning messages from AVG and NAV only now appear when I access that folder/files to try to solve the problem. Maybe there's no real problem after all. But if NAV/NIS is creating those files, then why would it be creating them with an apparent security flaw?

    - 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!

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.

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.

    - 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 ?

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?

    - questionable emails received when I open an email that is full of hidden statements, is this something that should be turned over to MSN or high authorities? Did not want to just delete should something be questionable and might lead to something serious. THanks Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 75876

    - Security Flaw: Any website can read your clipboard text Web sites you visit can retrieve data from your clipboard depending on your security settings. Go to this page (www.clipboard.googlemyway.com) and see if anything shows up in the box. If you are using Firefox or Opera you probably won't see anything. However, if you are using Internet Explorer then chances are that whatever you last copied into your clipboard will be displayed. Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 75871

    - Diamond CS And Possible Name Change ??? Heck, I asked for a refund from Diamond over two months ago for their now defunct TDS program and thus far have heard nothing. I checked in on this board and their site about a month and a half ago and heard proclamations that an exciting new site with great new programs was "just around the corner" (where did I hear THAT expression before?!?!?), but alas, here we are 6 weeks later and it looks like all is status-quo. I could not find any new site, nor could I find any new products, nor did I ever find any information from Diamond CS regarding my (numerous) requests for a refund. Maybe they should change the name from Diamond CS to Diamond "BS"--- that seems to be what they specialize in! Tag: "Root" users to My Documents folder Tag: 75868

Hello,

Is it possible in Windows 2003 to "root" users to their My Documents
folder?

Basicly, I want them to start in My Documents when they open Windows
Explorer, and I don't want them to be able to press the folder up
button.

Thanks if you can point me in the right direction.

Roland

You can use group policy to redirect My Documents to the user's home
directory - I presume you're on a domain.
Re folder up button - don't give them permissions to do anything with the
parent folder that holds their home directories.
