    - Windows Firewall/Norton IS removal I uninstalled Norton IS 2005 with their removal tool from the Symantec site. It seemed to do a good job and all was well.However, my "Windows Security Center" still says "NortonInternet Security is currenlty ON." I've deleted all the residueSymantec/Norton folders left on my drive by the removal tool and haveremoved almost all of the Norton/Symantec registry items. Any help, please? Thanks!

    - Masses of 529 Errors! I have often seen these errors in the security log at the rate of up to hundreds in a 24 hour period, but in the last 24 hours I had 107,710 of them. Is this something I should be worrying about? Obviously the fact that I know about it means that who/whatever is doing this is unsuccessful. Below is pasted one of the events: Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529 Date: 11/05/2007 Time: 10:20:37 PM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: <my sbs server> Description: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: anonymous Domain: Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: Advapi Authentication Package: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 Workstation Name: <my sbs server> User Name: <my sbs server> Caller Domain: <my domain> Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7) Caller Process ID: 1216 Transited Services: - Source Network Address: - Source Port: - Advice most welcome, please.

    - Network Connection Constantly Sending and Recieving Hi, I have a client machine that is constantly transmitting and recieving bytes. In the past day and a half it has sent 32 billion bytes and recieved 23 billion bytes. I have run Symantec Antivirus full scan with no results. I have run the lates Microsoft Malicious Software removal tool with no results. I ran Windows Defender with no results. I did a netstat on the machine and it has an open port to all of our client machines on our LAN. For some of the machines 2 or 3 ports. I am going to run a couple of rootkit detectors as well. Can I close the ports on the one client machine manually? If so how? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93062

    - Migrating from single enterprise root CA to different root CA Hi all, due to extended cooperation with other companies we now have to set up a shared PKI with our business partners. Currently, we have got a single enterprise root CA for our Active Directory (single domain) in place. It has been running for about two years now and there is quite a number of certificates issued (>1000). The challenge we are facing now is migrating from our local root CA to the shared public root CA without the current certificates becoming invalid. Public root CA (offline) is already in place. The responsible administration team will provide an intermediate CA for our company, and we would like to keep that one offline, too, and set up an issuing enterprise CA for our AD. I thougt about that some time and determined that there is no need to keep the current enterprise root CA running once all certificates have been replaced by new ones. Because of that I would like to avoid cross-certification and migrate in the following way: - Publish new public root CA and intermediate CA to AD - Set up issuing CA as enterprise subordinate - re-issue certificates when suitable I have now encountered some points which are not clear to me: - Is this a valid migration path from a technical perspective? - Is it possible to publish multiple root CAs to AD? - Will the issued certificates stay valid with the new PKI in place until they are replaced? - How can I achieve that new certificates from our customized V2 templates are issued by the new issuing CA instead of our old enterprise root CA? Thanks in advance for your help! Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93059

    - DoS? First post here. I've attached a snippet from my Kiwi Syslog from a customer's server. Take a look at the times any you'll see I'm getting bombarded with SMTP -- over 40 in half a minute, but sometimes as many as fifteen a second -- from IP addresses in the 72.34.1xx.xxx range. I've Googled some of them at random and the only connection is that they are all from the same ISP in Texas. I first noticed the problem when the Exchange server crashed. I blocked the ISP entire block at the router, but obviously this volume of traffic is still affecting things. Does anyone have an idea where to start with this? Any help will be much appreciated.

    - MSSecure.XML file will EXPIRE after October 9, 2007 On October 9, 2007, the MSSecure.XML file used by MBSA 1.2.1 will no longer be updated. After this date, no new security updates will be added to the MSSecure.XML file used by MBSA 1.2.1 and no new versions of the Enterprise Scan Tool will be released for standalone use. Customers who require a free standalone security update and VA assessment tool are strongly encouraged to upgrade to MBSA 2.0.1 or the MBSA 2.1 beta. Based on Microsoft Update technologies, MBSA 2.0.1 and MBSA 2.1 beta provide consistent results across all Microsoft update technologies (SMS, WSUS Server and Microsoft Update) and provide the most comprehensive security update detection available from Microsoft. Aside from Microsoft SMS 2.0 / 2003 and MBSA 1.2.1, non-Microsoft products, scripts or tools based on the Microsoft MSSecure.XML file are not supported and should have already moved to updated or newer technologies that do not rely on the MSSecure.XML file.

    - Restricting interactive login only to terminal services Hello, I want to set up my win 2003 server (with Terminal Server (TS) role) so that all users (non-admin, or speciafied exceptions) have the right to log in interactively only via TS, but not via console login. This restriction should not be domain-wide, but only on the TS/DC itself. Knowing the flexibility of Windows I am sure this can be done. I am totally comfortable with messing with something like scripting or wmi filtering if there's no "user-friendly" way of achieving this. Thank you. Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93042

    - Running .exe Hello all, I am having an issue running .exe on my 2003 server. They will run under the administrator all the time and one other profile but no more. It gives me : Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I 'm logging on with domain administrator accounts and they all have full control of the folder and everything in them. I have three servers that will let one admin run it and not the other and vice-versa on the others. Has anyone seen this. I thought it was sp.2 issue, then a sp.1, but it does not seem to be. If anyone has any clue I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, David Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93028

    - Is complete access in a win 2003 domain a possibility? I am an IT administrator of a very small company and was wondering if it was possible to create a security group to add my username to that has access to anything and everything. Just being a member of the administrators group still seems to have denies for certain permissions. And if I create a security group and set grants for everything in adsiedit it then allows for some permissions that the administrators group is denied but then denies other permissions. Being 1 of the 2 people that administrate this company I figured it would be easier for us to have access to everything rather than delegating specific permissions to each person.

    - How encryption keys should be distributed? Several software applications needs to encrypt and decrypt data, requiring either a single key in symmetrical encryption algorithms or public/private keys in asymmetrical algorithms, but how these keys should be distributed? Embed the key(s) within the application executable is a very vulnerable approach, since an attacker may trace API calls, or run the application under a debugger and simply halt the program when the keys has been reconstructed. And what about the risk to distribute the key in every exeucutable copy embedded within, if some attacker gets this key it can make it public, and every user of this application may use it to break its own installation. Can anyone give me any suggestion? Or point me in the correct direction to avoid these problems? Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93025

    - What SIDS need permisions to start my service? Here is the short version. I have an application which has a service component. It is a requirement that the service component be running only when the application is running, so AutoStart is not an option. I want to grant the following permissions on my service READ_CONTROL | SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG | SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS | SERVICE_ENUMERATE_DEPENDENTS | SERVICE_START | SERVICE_STOP | SERVICE_PAUSE_CONTINUE | SERVICE_INTERROGATE to all users on the local machine. Currently I am granting this access to Everyone, Users, and Guest. This approach definitely gives permisions to the accounts i need.. but is this a securty risk (I am only concerned about security risks involving remote attacks, not ones that originate from the local machine). Should i be granting access to just "Guest and Users" or maybe "Guests and Authenticated Users"? Also note, the machines may or may not be on a domain.. the target os is 2k,xp,vista(32/64). This may be deployed on a large number of laptops (and i mean laaarrrggge). Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Tag: Security Setting Tag: 93020

    - Service and profile settings Hi to all! We have a service at our company which our developers had developed. As part of the work of the service, it connects to mapped folder at another computer to read some files from there. We need to configure the service to run as custom application user, which is a user from our domain with sufficient permissions. We can't set in code of the service to connect to UNC address, instead we have to map the UNC address to network drive and afterwards to connect. Now the problem is that I don't know how to "say" to the service to load user's profile when the service starts. For instance, when I run something with "run as" utility, I can specify /profile option, and I just don't know what to do in order to specify something similar to the service. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Simon Zeltser. Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92991

    - Logon Message Error When I turn on my computer I get an error with a yellor triange that says "The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case." I have been able to continue by hitting "enter" but this has prevented me from doing many things administratively. I tried to fix this with a CompRule back in April of 2006 (I could give you a case # if it would help)but it lasted a month until I turned my computer off and rebooted and it started all over again. I don't know what I did, I am virtually afraid to do anything to my computer and it seems when I do I seem to mess it up pretty well. I have Widows XPSP2, NortonSecurity&AntiVirus. One husband and one 14 year old and they think I'm the one who is the best to fix the problems when something goes wrong - I'm the mom-this is way over what I want to do or understand and I am way over frustrated with it always giving me error messages and not letting me logon and telling me this isn't my computer, it has been in this same spot for five years This problem has been the same for over a year but a friend said that maybe it is why I can't do things like download the Adobe Flash Player and some other files that my son sends me that I can't see on my email. I don't know but I would really like some help with this so that I can use my computer properly. If anyone can help let me know. Thank you in advance.

    - is this Hexi-, Deci- or IS4v adresses http://0000000000330.211 I have received several email messages (showing free (gmail) return addresses). I got no response from the OL group. They have an odd looking http address in the body of the email. I do not click on such things, But I actually do not know what this kind of link is, or what it might do. There are a couple of variations, such as this: <A href="http://0000000000330.211.0x0000000009E. 000000000000000000174"> or <a href="http:// 0x00000000000D8.00000000000323.0x000000000000000000000009E. 124"> or <a href="http://0000000000330.211.0x0000000009E. 000000000000000000174"> It looks like a loopback, a physical memory address, or some port, an executable. Or is this Hexi-, Deci- X n base IP address. I am not sure where else to post this type of question.

    - How to have system service to access network I have a VB app that i runs from a LocalSystem service with CreateProcessAsUser: The app gets the token of the service so it runs under LocalSystem too. When i call in my app that as said run from the Localsystem service to: WNetAddConnection2, i get error 1312 (ERROR_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION) In my opinion since a LocalSystem service does not have access to network. Can i make the app that run from the LocalSystem service to access Network so that WNetAddConnection2 will work? I run it on XP pro and Vista - same problem. (The app and The service must keep running under LocalSystem - i do not want to change that) Thanks! Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92961

    - Infection via Website There's a website I know of... as soon as you visit it, your anti- virus (AVG in my case) starts setting off warnings. The site is clearly trying to install spyware/viruses (apparently it is well known for doing this). As someone studying to become an MCSE I am curious in the specifics of how the site is trying to infect computers. IE: is it using java to do this? Active x? applets? scripts? I know it manages to get a few files onto my harddrive (the files being on my harddrive are what actually triggers the AVG warnings). How does it activate those files and get them running in memory/startup? Can Active X/Java/etc/etc make changes to your registry? Do you fully need to turn off these IE settings to be truly safe? etc etc... If anyone could give me some very basic info, or point me to some good (brief & to the point) links, it would be much appeciated. Thanks in advance Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92953

    - DRA certificate on smartcard - vista I configured a gpo to allow efs exclusively with smartcards on a vista box in a windows 2003 domain with a single domain running win2k3 sp1. The DRA is also using an EFS recovery certificate that is on a smartcard. I use the same box both for the user encrypting the file and the DRA trying to recover/restore the file. When I try recovering the file with the DRA designated user I'm prompted to insert a smartcard but when I inset the DRA smartcard I get a error message stating that the "wrong card is inserted." When I insert the user's card everything works fine. Checking the file encryption properties lists the designated DRA certificate as the recovery certificate (certificate thumbprint) as detailed in the appropriate admx file Any Ideas? -- Yariv Bashan MSecurity Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92952

    - Wireless Security (WZC) Dear all, Anyone knows if there are any updates to the way WZC works. This post dated 2005, and i tested some of them but it does stands. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg1102.mspx "How Wireless Auto Configuration Works For the initial scan of available networks, Wireless Auto Configuration performs the following process: 1. Wireless Auto Configuration attempts to connect to the preferred networks that appear in the list of available networks in the preferred networks preference order, if the preferred networks are configured to automatically connect (the Connect when this network is within range checkbox is selected on the Connection tab for the properties of the preferred wireless network). 2. If there are no successful connections, Wireless Auto Configuration attempts to connect to the preferred networks that do not appear in the list of available networks, in the preferred networks preference order. This is done so that a Windows wireless client can connect to a hidden wireless network, one that is either not broadcasting its SSID or broadcasting an SSID of NULL. Configuring hidden wireless networks is used as a security measure to prevent malicious users from detecting and attempting a connection to a wireless network. However, the SSID is included in other types of wireless connection management frames and is easily discoverable by either capturing wireless management frames or using tools available on the Internet. 3. If there are no successful connections and there is an ad hoc network in the list of preferred networks that is available, Wireless Auto Configuration tries to connect to it. 4. If there are no successful connections and there is an ad hoc network in the list of preferred networks that is not available, Wireless Auto Configuration configures the wireless network adapter to act as the first node in the ad hoc network. 5. If there are no successful connections to preferred networks and there are no ad hoc networks in the list of preferred networks, Wireless Auto Configuration checks the Automatically connect to non-preferred networks setting. 6. If Automatically connect to non-preferred networks is enabled, Wireless Auto Configuration attempts to connect to the available networks the order in which the wireless adapter sensed them. 7. If all connection attempts to non-preferred networks fail or if Automatically connect to non-preferred networks is disabled, Wireless Auto Configuration creates a random wireless network name and places the wireless network adapter in infrastructure mode. After this, the wireless adapter is not connected to any wireless network but continues to scan for preferred wireless networks every 60 seconds. This behavior prevents the Windows wireless client from accidentally connecting to a wireless network that does not appear in the list of preferred networks. You are then prompted with the "One or more wireless networks are available" message in the notification area." Your help is appreciated Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92907

    - SMB Shares Dangerous? Appologies for the x-posting but I posted this at microsoft.public.win2000.security and got no response so hoping for a better response here. :) -- A number of our employees access our windows servers using either mapped drives or UNC paths with vpn. I am somewhat concerned that accessing our servers this way may pose a security risk as a number of viruses proliferate through network shares. The shares are password protected so users do have to authenticate to access them but as far as I know once they have authenticated, their credentials are cached for a period of time. Also with mapped drives in particular I believe login information is saved permanently. I'm wondering what others thoughts are on this matter and if anyone can point me to any articles that confirm or deny the risk (or lack there of) for using mapped drives and/or UNC paths. Finally if there is a risk, are there other alternatives? Thanks Brad Tag: Security Setting Tag: 92883

    - Execute File Auditing on a File Share Greetings! I have a situation in which I would like to audit the execute file object access type on files within a file share as opposed to a directory on the local server. I have enabled the 'Audit Object Access' policy on both the host and client machines and have set the Audit permissions on the directory. I am able to view the audit permissions from either the host or client successfully. However, when accessing files within the directory the audit events do not show up in the Event Viewer for either the host or client. Is it even possible to audit file access events over file shares?

Hi,

I'm getting the following error message when I trried to compile my c
program in using MS Visual C++ .Net IDE.

"The user's security settings prevent the process from being created."

"These settings are required for building"

I guess there must be security setting that must be done in Windows XP
Pro (in which I'm running). I tried many ways, but nothing seems to be
helping.
