    - Automatic updates vs. Windows Update website I have my W2K set to download Automatic Updates. However, if I go to the Windows Update website and scan for necessary updates, it usually lists at least one "critical update" to be downloaded. Aren't these done through the automatic upadate feature? Am I supposed to manually download those shown on the website as well? What good is the automatic update feature if it misses some critical updates? Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65523

    - Microsoft Security Bulletin vs Workarounds I would like to know if applying a Microsoft Security Bulletin workaround is sufficient enough. Some of these bulletins to not always seem to apply and the workaround seems to be the best answer, but is it? For example, the MS 04-041 Microsoft Security Bulletin workaround reads that the workaround "helps reduce attacks"....and? It does not go on to provide further information as to what is or not reduced. All assistance is appreciated. Thank you -brian- Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65522

    - Share Permissions and Security Groups I have the follwoing setup and I wanted to know if this is correct. Global Domain Share Share SubFolder Group local Perms NTFS NTFS PrjGrp1 Dept Dept-FC Dept-RX PrjGrp1-Modify The PrjGrp1 group is a global group of user accounts for an OU. The Dept group is Domain local for the OU which has a member of PrjGrp1. A Share call Sales has share permissions for the Domain Local group Dept as Full control. I know I can put the group Everyone but this adds an extra layer of security to the whole setup. The Sales Share NTFS permissions has the same domain local group but here it is given only Read, Execute and list folder permissions. A subfolder within the Sales Share - Project1 has NTFS permissions set to Modify for PrjGrp1 global group. This means that if Fred is in Global groups PrjGrp1 and PrjGrp3 (each referencing a subfolder in the Sales share ie Project 1 and Project 3), he will not gain access to the subfolder Project2 within Sales and the NTFS share permissions will not allow him to fiddle within the Share folder itself. For one domain setup are my group assignments correct? Should I make the Dept group a Global Group instead of a Domain local or should I be looking at a different setup?

    - DCOM security I am having problems creating a DCOM component under Windows XP SP2. I am creating the component locally to eliminate any remote access issues. When I set the identity to "The interactive user" I can create the component okay so I know that its registered okay and all its dependencies are present. When I set the identity to the logged on user but specified explicitly under "This user" I get VB error "ActiveX component can't create object". What is the difference between "interactive user" and specifying the same user under "This user"? I have tried adding "Everyone" with full control under each security section to no avail. I have checked for any DCOM restrictions in "Local Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options" but none are set. Where else should I look? O my own computer there are only six policies in "Local Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options" - four "Accounts", a "Network access" and a "Network security". On the problem computer there are sixty-four. What has added these additional policies? Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65509

    - Open Source Project Secure DHCP Provisioning System, Anyone Know o I was wondering if anyone knows of a commercial application or preferably an open source project that operates similar to the way users gain access to a broadband hotel internet connection. General description listed below: A network level application that manages access to your network. It prevents rogue computers from connecting to your network and gaining access to network resources. By restricting what computers can obtain a valid network IP Address, a network administrator has a low maintenance tool for managing access. A new user plugging into a SecureDHCP network will be assigned a "Special", non-routable IP address that will only allow them access to the SecureDHCP web site. This customizable web site can require a new user to, for example, fill out a form identifying themselves, acknowledge the reading of an "Acceptable Use Policy" document or download and install current virus software. The system will then replace their "Special" IP address with a valid network address that provides full access. Hardware addresses as well as user data are saved in a database for reporting and troubleshooting purposes. Anyone know of an open source project that seeks to meet this kind of need? Any information would be appreciated. -- Sincerely, J.M.Aloye Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65502

When I click on the "Take a Lesson" button the window pops up, starts to load, and then the word "Done" appears in the taskbar and a small white box with a little red x in it shows up in the upper left-hand corner.

    - .net passport password problem I have been using the same password for msn messenger for about 4 years now- yes, I prob should have changed it. A couple of days ago it told me the password was incorrect- the only way this could have happened was if someone else has changed it. I have followed all the recommended ways for changing it back. i.e. https://memberservices.passport.net/ppsecure/MSRV_ResetPW.srf however, I don't know the answer to the secret question. I also do not have an alternative email address or billing information so I can't use either of those methods. Finally I have tried to contact the support team but keep getting an automated reply with the above info and telling me they cannot change my password by email. Has anyone else come across this problem and found a way to solve it? Thanks. Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65490

    - Norton Firewall "MSSQL_Null_Packet_DoS" I'm using an application to manipulate data in SQL server database on a remote computer. Sometimes when I use this application I'm getting this message on my Norton Personal Firewall and the application terminates: 'Attempted Intrusion "MSSQL_Null_Packet_DoS" from your machine against [IP] was detected and blocked.'

Then "New Network Wizard" comes up and says it detected a new network. There is no network on this computer except the internet. I checked the DNS, it does not match the DNS entries in the Connection Properties (DSL). Although the "subnet mask" number is the same. Can anyone explain what's going on? Why did it detect a new network after 2 weeks of using the internet? Why is the DNS different than mine? I am getting no response from the CA support. I would appreciate any help. I am using XP.

    - Is it possible to "disable" Internet Explorer in this case? Is it possible to "disable" Internet Explorer in this case? I run a franchise-like business. I am an independent contractor, and I have three employees. I sell services for a major national company. In order to maintain quality control and security, the company I work for provides the PC's, the software, and the internet access to do our work. We use Windows 2000 OS, Microsoft Office, and Internet Explorer. In order to quality control and security of the PC's, we cannot load or delete any software from the PC's. In fact, there is no Add/ Remove Programs option in the control panel. It's been removed. Here's my problem: I have an employee who simply cannot stay off the internet during work. I have done all the routine actions required by an employer: I have talked to him, provided written company policy, written office policy, given a written reprimand, and talked to him again and again. About a year ago, I even wrote an agreement that if he surfed the internet during work hours, I could deduct $20 per website. He agreed to it and he signed it. But he continues to surf when I am not in the office. I did not have the heart to enforce it. I don't want to withhold his money. I want his full attention to give 100% excellent customer service! That's what my customers deserve! And he is not getting all his work done. I am noticing an increase in errors and his customer service has suffered. He has been with me three years, and is important to my business, so I have not fired him (but I am getting really close). I am seeking a better "win-win" solution. Months ago I contacted our corporate office and asked, "can I please have IE removed from one PC?". They said no. They simply don't want to do it. I don't fully understand why. My guess is that since they are responsible for thousands of PC's in the US (configured just like mine), I think they don't want to be bothered with an individual request to customize a PC. It might create a precedent that could create more work for them, and more headaches. From their perspective, I guess that makes sense. I spoke to my employee last week about the continued problem, and he admitted that he is basically addicted to the internet. (His main passion is cars - not porn or gambling. He just loves cars. And Ebay.). I told that I had inquired about removing IE from his PC. He said he would be in favor of that and that he thought it would be a good idea. Most of his work does not require internet access. And every PC in my office has IE and broadband access, so it's available elsewhere when needed to do his work. And there are other PC's with IE that are readily available for use. Again, yes I could easily fire him. I have volumes of documentation. I have even found one instance where what he was viewing was adult oriented, is NOT family friendly or workplace safe. But he wants me to work with him and I am trying to find a creative solution (yes, I have fired people before. Firing people, IMO, is a last resort and not very creative). Here's where I am seeking help: can you suggest a way that I can go to his PC and disable IE? Remember, I can't add or remove any programs, and I don't own the PC. And, since I don't have the company blessing, I don't want to create any technical problems that would impede any other operation of the PC. I am fairly PC literate. If I can disable IE, I will explain it to him before I do it. Can you give me a suggestion to disable IE? I have run out of ideas. Got any ideas for me? If you think there is a more appropriate forum for this question, pls let me know. (sorry to write so much....just trying to anticipate questions). Thanks.

    - Norton Internet Security A few months ago I upgaded my Norton A/V by installing Internet Security, which has the firewall. A couple of times a medium sized window pops up alerting me to...I'm not sure to what, Norton's booklet doesn't explain it. But it looks like some sort of hacking attempt. The warning had something to do with a specific virus's, trojans, but they had different names. One was Netbus something and the other was some sort of backdoor trojan. But what exactly are these warnings? Are they really hacking attempts? Since I have the firewall, can I assume they couldn't get in? Anyway, I don't download much of anything, I update Norton weekly and in fact scanned for virus's after the last warning. Found nothing. I tried it again in Safe Mode, and it also found nothing (and looked through 60 more files). So I don't think I have these virus's. But I don't understand, do these warnings mean I have the virus's (then why isn't Norton picking them up?) or are the warnings telling me that someone is USING these virus's to try and hack in? These warnings don't happen often, maybe 5 times the last 3 or 4 months. And each time I get them, I disconnect from the internet - I'm on dial-up - and sign on again. I'm just wondering what these warnings are warning me to. Thanks. Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65366

    - Does expired digital certificates causes text to be sent in clear text ?? OWA server's digital certificate expired. Besides the yellow icon that indicates it is expired, does the text is sent unencrypted by any chance ? I don't think it is unencrypted, but a co-worker claims that's what happens with expired certificates... Tag: Step to map a network drive Tag: 65312

    - More before-the-fact advice for 2K and XP? I'm consulting for several firms who are using Win2K and XP Pro as limited users, which so far is keeping the current crop of viruses and other garbage off the machines. Hardware firewalls do the rest. I believe future exploits will be deliberately designed to run as a limited user. That means a trojan, or virus or what-have-you will work only while a specific user's logged on to the machine. But it will still run. It wouldn't need to take advantage of raw sockets, UPnP or other "supposedly dangerous" technologies to do its dirty work. So the question I ask is, how to prevent unauthorized software from running even as the limited user? Here are the things I've ruled out so far: * Signed programs are difficult to maintain. A lot of sites use old apps that can work as a limited user, but aren't digitally signed. And nothing stops a disreputable company with a code certificate from writing a bad program that happens to be signed. * "Outbound firewalls" are an annoyance to the average user, because they warn you about every single little applet that wants network access. That includes the Windows Firewall when you enable outbound connection monitoring. Besides, it's one more thing that runs in the background using up CPU time that a useful app can use instead. And they don't stop bad programs that use file system APIs instead of network APIs to spread. * I would love to see "ZIP file type restrictions" in the Compressed Folders shell extension for Windows XP. Like the attachment restrictions built into Outlook 2002 and later, I could disallow opening certain file types from within ZIP and other archive files. There's no such functionality yet, so I've had to block ZIPs as "level 1" and allow "level 2" access only to people I've trained in handling ZIP archives safely. This sucks because even a trained user can make mistakes. * I already change the security ACLs for the root of Drive C to read-only for limited users, and apply special ACLs to the "RECYCLER" folder so limited users can still create and use Recycle Bins. I borrowed the same ACL for "Shared Documents" to accomplish this. The only folders that need to be on the root of Drive C are "Documents and Settings," "Program Files," "Windows," and "RECYCLER." And these folders (except for RECYCLER) have default ACLs that are perfect for before-the-fact security. I also create a separate volume exclusively for the paging file and make that unreadable to limited users entirely. Which comes to my latest idea which I have no clue how to implement: Deny (or remove) Execute permissions by default to Documents and Settings for limited users. I don't know how to implement this because I don't know where the default ACL for a user's profile is stored. Whatever it is, it's normally "Full Control" for the user. There's also the matter of setting up the same or similar ACL for whatever the user's Home directory is (on an Active Directory network) or their Profile directory (also on AD). Even if there were an ACL template I could change, I'd have to change it in three places: for the user's local profile, the user's roving profile (if any) and the user's home directory (if any). If this were possible, it would eliminate last remaining problem I can figure out: How to keep limited users from running unauthorized programs for good. A privilege elevation exploit won't work if it can't run in the first place. -- PGP key (0x0AFA039E): <http://www.pan-am.ca/consulting@pan-am.ca.asc> What's a PGP Key?

In a command line -

net use x: \\server\share

would be the most basic way.

Have you tried the Windows Help? Seriously there is some great information
in there.

Select "Start" and "Help and Support" and search for "Map Network Drive"

I hope that helps
