    - Locking down top level folder permissions We run Windows 2003 on our file servers. We are continually having a problem where top level folders on our shared drive are being accidently moved. I am looking for an easy way to lock down the top level folders with NTFS permissions. When I set the permissions on the top level folders, the permission are inherited by all subfolders and files, which we don't want. What is the easiest way to lockdown the top level folders, but not the subfolders and files. Tag: Stolen Password Tag: 81135

    - Can Malware Trash Disk? I am putting together a backup strategy and looking at the possible threats. It once used to be said that a virus could trash a HD, damage the mbr, etc. In which case I would need to reformat. However, I have not heard of a virus doing this for some years. Do I not now need to be concerned about this threat? thanks Davy Tag: Stolen Password Tag: 81131

    - Proxy server vs. DNS Forwarders If websurfing behind a proxy server affords a degree of Internet anonymity because the proxy goes out on behalf of the client and returns Inet resources to the client (and cahces them), is the same degree of anonymity provided by simply having a DNS server use forwarders to resolve all resources external to your inet domain(s)?

    - Second User Setup ? Hello, I am using winXP SP2 Pro. There are 2 users on this computer, "Me" and "Myself". Me has admin.rights,and Myself is a limited user. Myself should only be able to surf,download a picture, run security,and clean up. I have noticed that I can get all the way down to the "system32" folder,which I heard is not the best thing for a limited user. I am not familiar with configuring any users, and just used what was provided to make a new user, and do not mess with the administry part if I can help it. So if someone could point me to some layman tutorials on "how to" it would be appreciated very much.. What I am trying to accomplish here ,or at least deter is, anyone,getting to know me and/or my machine, through the internet, since I am the only one on this computer,nothing can harm me from this side..

    - Tracking unauthorized access to my computer I am a Systems Analyst with full Admin privileges. I'm having a serious problem, someone has been connecting to my computer and controlling my email, accessing files/folder, etc. I'm certain that it is someone who also has Admin privileges but there are six people with these rights and I don't know who it is. I've spoken to my Boss about the situation but without specific proof talking about it has done nothing. I'm just wondering if there is a way to trace and log who is actually logging onto my computer remotely or if there is any software that I can install or scripts that I can run in the background that would identify the individual/individuals that are doing this? Even if there is something that I could use that would record the actions as they are happening would be helpful. I desparately need some kind of concrete evidence. It's gotten to the point where the amount of times someone is connecting to my machine is unbearable and very harassing. If anyone can help me with this please respond ASAP. Thanks.

    - Internal Server Security Hi all hope I'm in the right group. Our company is working with an outside firm to provide web hosting for us that requires real time data from an internal server. Their software sits on any machine and listens to to a predetermined port that we have forwarded [from the firewall]. We have conteplated setting this port forwarding directly to our internal server. We have also contemplated setting up another machine with their software and then mapping a drive to our internal server for the data their software needs. Given the fact that the secondary machine would have a drive mapped to our internal server is it any more secure than just forwarding the traffice to the server. Any clarification would be appreciated. TIA Tag: Stolen Password Tag: 81074

    - Help please - Can not use/export private key after domain change I have a self signed certificate in Windows XP (private/pulic key pair). Recently my company changed my login domain (keeping the same password and Profile directory). But after that I can not use my certificate (private key). Looking at the password manager, it shows the certificate, also when I view it, it says that I have private key corresponding to the certificate. But when I try to export it greys out the option for private key export saying "The associated provate key can not be found. Only the certificate can be exported." I guess the reason might be that the key was encrypted based on password + domain name. Just my guess, based on my limited understanding from what I found on the net: "Windows XP protects you against such attacks. Windows XP encrypts the private key with a derivative of your password. If the password is changed and you don't provide the old password, access to the public key will be permanently blocked, and you or a thief can no longer decrypt files with this key." Is the only way to recover the key to ask for switching back to the old domain ? Please advise, I would really be very greatful for any help to recover my key. Thanks a lot, Sandeep Tag: Stolen Password Tag: 81046

    - Excluding archive files from virus scan I have around 5GB of disk space on my Windows 2000 laptop occupied by archives bundled up using the "tar" facility, and compressed with gzip. This is really slowing down a complete system scan. McAfee's antivirus lets the user specify what files to exclude from scanning. Is there much risk associated with doing this? What is the likelihood of some malware adding itself to a file within one of the archive files (each archive file is several hundred megabytes)? Most of the archive is data, though there are some unix shell scripts and possibly some binary executables. I unpack items from those archive files as needed (about once every 2-3 days).

    - How do you get certificates to work I'm trying to get the SSL working on our web page so users can use it change their domain password. I reviewed MS KB228821 (how to generate certificate request file) and KB228836 (Installing new certificate for use in SSL/TLS). My platform: Windows 2003 Server SP2, IIS 6.0 Here are the steps I followed: 1. Genreated request file - text format. 2. Read the file in on my CA then issued the the certificate. 3. Exported the issued certificate as a DER 509 type with file ext .cer 4. Ran IIS 6 manager and imported the certificate into my web page. When I try to run the aexp.asp script, that allows users to change their password, it complains that SSL is not running.. What am I doing wrong and how can I make this work? Thanks...

    - what the hell is KB7218151.LOG? Hi guys, I found that every process running in my winxp system contains a strange module with the name "KB7218151.LOG". the file is located under "c:\windows" folder, instead of being a plain text file as the name suggested, it's actually an executable module (start with the "MZ" header). after some further investigation, i found that it's is loaded by the following registry entry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] "AppInit_DLLs"="KB7218151.LOG" that's why every process in the system is injected with this dll module. I dont think it's a patch released by MS as MS wouldnt use these kind of misleading filename to hide their actual intention. i have searched through the internet but cannot find anything about this "KB7218151.LOG". is there any guru here know what it is? i will mail the "KB7218151.LOG" file to you if you need to examine it.

I have tried to replicate this users details in a new a/c on the new server but this still won't allow access to the folder. 1. Is there any way for me (the administrator) to take ownership outside of the security settings in Windows Explorer. 2. If not, how do I get the old NT4 server to become a BDC of the new domain so I can log on there with the old users credentials, browse to the file an change it's ownership. I have added the old server to the DNS of the new and can browse it from the new but not the other way.

    - NTFS Permissions Hello, I am trying to prevent network users from deleting folders and files on a network drive. I have decided to apply read/write but not modify rules to network users in order to prevent them deleting important folders etc however there is a problem with MS Office. When a document is opened or edited Word will always create a temp file, this temp file is then left on the drive because it was created but could not be deleted because the user is unable to delete. This in my mind is quite a serious problem as I do not want the network drive to become full of these .tmp files which are not necessary and take up resources. Is there a way to prevent the .tmp files being created in the first place, or a way in which to allow them to be removed once the user has closed the program. -- Thanks, Cep.

That may be difficult.
Can you change the password?
If possible, do so IMMEDIATELY.
Use a strong password that is impossible for someone else to guess.
Do NOT give the password to anyone for ANY reason.

Contact whoever controls the account for more details.
