    - Disabling Shutdown and Restart Is there a way to disable shutdown but keep restart for the general user population through GP. Administrators will need the ability to shutdown while they are logged on to users computers. The computers will also have to have shutdown disabled at the login prompt but not restart. We have several tasks running throughout the night and some people just don't listen when told to leave their computers on. Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74213

    - Firewalls I'm sure this has been asked before... I have Windows xpsp2 (has a firewall), MS broadband router for a home network(has a hardware firewall), Norton IS2005 (has a firewall) and, finally, my service provider has given us free security package which also has a firewall. The obvious question is should they all be on? Should they all be off but one? Do I benefit from having them all on or does it affect performance? Which one should be on? The router firewall seems to be the logical one to keep on but then I keep getting alerts from xp that I don't have a firewall on. Norton keeps telling me that I have another firewall on and do I want to turn it off? Help! Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74211

    - Setting up WPA in Windows 2000 Hi, This is my first Wi-Fi network. I am using a Belkin Pre-N router and Pre-N notebook (PCMCIA) card. I am trying to setup WPA encryption under Windows 2000 Pro. All documentation I have seen shows Windows XP. Can WPA work under Windows 2000? Also, are there drawbacks to WPA over WEP? Someone here posted that netcams don't work with WPA. Thanks for the help.

    - How to view wireless clients in Win2000 network? Hi, how do I view a wireless client in a Win2000 domain network? Currently, I'm testing out accessing our network using a RADIUS server (Microsoft IAS Server) using PEAP-MSCHAPV2.

    - EFS / CRL / Laptops ? We have a W2K3 Enterprise (domain-joined) Certification Authority which issues a diverse group of certificates â?? smartcard logon, code signing, client auth, etc. Because of these functions, it publishes its CRL every twelve hours, and in a location visible only from inside the enterprise. If we issue EFS certificates from this server, for use on laptops, what will happen when they are off the network? If the user is on an airplane on a two day journey â?? or otherwise unconnected past the expiration of the current CRL â?? will the EFS certs work ok, or will they eventually not be usable for encryption? If that's the case, would the laptop self-generate a cert instead? -- Lynn Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74187

    - PKI S/MIME issue Has anyone seen an issue where an email should be encrypted, but for some reason is not? I have captured several e-mails in my system that have headers that would suggest encryption was intended. When I take a look further into the email, it is obviously not encrypted. The header that would suggest encryption is: Content-type: application/pkcs7-mime;smime-type=enveloped-data;name=smime.p7m Any help appreciated. Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74186

    - Determining security on an NT server I need to find a way of analysing an NT server to see where there rights and security groups are and what permissions they have been given. The data on the server I am looking at is going to be migrated onto another server but I need to determine what security is in place in order to migrate that security across to the new server. Is there a quick way to do this? maybe with a shareware tool or Microsofts own resource kit? Thanks for your help Mal Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74171

    - Upon Logon, IE Trusted Sites trying to automatically be added -- help. I am certain that many users have already posted requesting help with this. However, as I have just setup my newsgroups reader, I am failing to find help with this during any of the searches I have tried. With that in mind here goes... I am running Windows XP Pro (Svc. Pack 2) and was attacked several weeks ago by something that reset my home page to about.blank. Very annoying. I researched on the Internet and found some wonderful advice which lead me to the offending files and registry entries -- all of which I removed successfully! Yeah! Except there is this one lingering issue -- Trusted Sites attempting to auto-add themselves to my IE Trusted Sites list. Now, the only reason I am aware of this is because I am currently running what is most likely quite an outdated MS AntiSpyware software (probably the beta version still). Every time I logon, I get several "green" messages from this software informing me of allowed items (of which I am not concerned), but at the end I am always getting an alert ("blue" alert) informing me of some site trying to be added to the Trusted Sites list in IE. Each time, it is a different site (e.g. just now solongas.com tried to be added automatically). Now, each time this alert pops up, I choose to block it and everything seems fine. However, it is very annoying to have to do this extra step after logging on every single time. Is there a procedure I can perform to detect the root cause of this auto-adding functionality and remove it? I suspect there are some rouge registry entries and/or some bad files in my filesystem which, once deleted, will no longer attempt to add any sites to my IE Trusted Sites list automatically. I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. Many thanks. Jared Schrag Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74162

    - How to get post SP2 WinXP security updates to get burned in a CD? Hi, Saturday I installed WinXP on a PC. I connected to the net to get security updates and immediately the LSASS service got hacked and made restart the PC. I was less than 5 min connected!. Some time ago I posted a message asking how to download all the security patches for Win98 in order to burn them in a CD and apply to a non connected PC. I was suggested to go to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp . That worked fine. But now I want to do the same for a WinXP SP2 system (I mean, download all critical security updates post SP2) but the results I receive are all .NET related updates. What is wrong? How can I get all security patches to burn in a CD? Thanks in advance Sammy Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74125

    - Terminal services oddity I am currently working on a server that is 10 feet from where I sit. I'm using my laptop to connect and configure via Terminal services. Because the server is in a default mode of locking after so many minutes of non use, the server locked me out. Obviously this is of little consequence if I have the password - I do, I am the one who set the password. However, the server is not recognizing the password that I set???!??! When I get up and walk to the server and physically enter the password on the server directly (not through Terminal services) I am allowed access. The server recognizes the password I set. But when I go back to my laptop and terminal server connection, I find the serve denies my access and sites incorrect password as the reason. Cap locks is not on - there is no apparent reason for this, can someone please offer advice- I'm clueless. Thanks Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74111

    - Windows does not recognize my password unless I reboot. If say I hit the Windows key + L to lock the computer. Sometimes when I go to log back on it says ive typed the wrong password and wont let me log on. If I reboot the computer then type in my password it lets me log on just fine. Mind you this not being able to log on when I enter password does not happen all the time., but I am noticing it more often now.

    - subordinate ent CAs don't publish certs to AD after Win 2k3 SP1 Hi, my system consists in a single windows 2003 domain. Iâ??ve got an enterprise root CA installed on a Domain Controller and a subordinate enterprise CA on another server, which issues only secure email purpose certificates. These two servers runs both Win 2003 enterprise ed. Before having the SP1 installed on both servers, everything goes well: subordinate CA issued certificates and publish them to AD with autoenrollment process. After having SP1 installed on both servers, users cannot autoenrolls certificates and, if enrollment is done manually, i.e. by web server, subordinate ca issues the certificates but DOES NOT publish it on AD. On event viewer I always see the warning (source: certsvc; event id: 80) Certificate Services could not publish a Certificate for request 9 to the following location on server testup.prova.upg: CN=user_test,CN=Users,DC=prova,DC=upg. Insufficient access rights to perform the operation. 0x80072098 (WIN32: 8344). ldap: 0x32: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150A45, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0 Note that if the same kind of certificate is requested to the domain controller's CA (the root CA), this will be published to AD! any ideas? I've already checked that: 1) Both server with root CA and subordinate CA are members of Cert Publishers Group, and this group has got permissions to read and write the userCertificate attribute on users. 2) The brand new security group added by SP1 installation in the AD structure CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS contains both Domain Users and Domain Computer groups. I've added also the Domain Controllers group, but nothing changed. PLEASE help me, Iâ??m really in a mess!!! Thanks in advance!!! Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74074

    - PKY gurus: why it is not necessary to install a cert under "Public http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/9/0/690d2ee7-a4e0-4c0a-80d4-1e30ebcac1de/isa_2004_ee_configuration_guide.doc An important question: In order to make my ISA 2004 EE array members communicate with ISA Configuration Storage Server, I follow the procedures below and I import the ISA Configuration Storage Server into the "Array member" Trust Root Certification Authorities Computer Certificate Store. Can you explain why I don't need to put the cert under "Certificates (Local Computer)/Personal" store as well ? Installing CA Certificates in Each Array Member's Trusted Root Certification Authorities Computer Certificate Store For the firewalls in the enterprise array to trust the server certificate installed on the Configuration Storage server for authentication, the certification authority (CA) certificate of the enterprise CA must be installed on each array member. You can use the enterprise CA's Web enrollment site to obtain the CA certificate. Perform the following steps on each of the computers that will participate in the enterprise array (array-1 and array-2 on your sample network): 1. Open Internet Explorer, and then enter http://10.0.0.4/certsrv (where 10.0.0.4 is the IP address of the enterprise CA) in the Address bar and press ENTER. 2. Enter a valid user name and password in the Connect to dialog box and click OK. 3. Click Add in the Internet Explorer dialog box to add the site to the list of trusted sites. 4. Click Add in the Trusted Sites dialog box to add the site to the list of trusted sites. Click Close. 5. On the Welcome page of the Web enrollment site, click the Download a CA certificate, certificate chain, or CRL link at the bottom of the page. 6. On the Download a CA Certificate, Certificate Chain, or CRL page, click the Download CA certificate link. 7. Click Save in the File Download dialog box. 8. Click Save in the Save As dialog box to save the CA certificate to the desktop. 9. Click Close in the Download Complete dialog box. Now you need to import the CA certificate into the array member's Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store: 1. Click Start, and then click the Run command. In the Run dialog box, enter mmc in the Open text box and click OK. 2. Click the File menu in Console 1 and then click the Add/Remove Snap-in command. 3. Click Add in the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box. 4. Select the Certificates snap-in from the Snap-in list in the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box. Click Add. 5. On the Certificates snap-in page, select the Computer account option and click Next. 6. On the Select Computer page, select the Local computer option and click Finish. 7. Click Close in the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box. 8. Click OK in the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box. 9. In the left pane of the console, expand the Certificates (Local Computer) node, and then expand the Trusted Root Certification Authorities node. 10. Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities\Certificates node, point to All Tasks, and click Import. 11. Click Next on the Welcome to the Certificate Import Wizard page. 12. On the File to Import page, click the Browse button to locate the CA certificate you downloaded from the Web enrollment site. When the certnew.cer file appears in the File name text box, click Next. 13. On the Certificate Store page, accept the default settings and click Next. 14. Click Finish on the Completing the Certificate Import Wizard page. 15. Click OK in the Certificate Import Wizard dialog box informing you that the import was successful. Repeat the procedure on the second member of the array (array-2) so that the CA certificate of the enterprise CA is placed in the second array member's Trusted Root Certification Authorities computer certificate store.

The end users for the most part do not have the computer literacy to create a problem like this intentionally. There is an anti-virus application supplied by the company that has been on the system since day 1 without causing problems that some anti-virus programs can do. Is there something that I may be overlooking in W2k that will automatically lockout accounts? Or possibly someone that may have experienced a similiar problem? Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74015

    - Disks filling up - how to track it I have a spanned disk on a 2003 Server. Beginning the middle of last month the disk had 90 GB of free space and now has 20 GB. How can I track where all this data is coming from? Specifically the user or their PC, where the data originates. Virus scans run nightly and no viruses have been found. Thanks in advance Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 74012

    - Virus Detection Message I received a popup from McAfee Virus Scan that a virus had been detected and cleaned. I clicked on "continue what I was doing" and ran a full scan of my system as suggested. But I continue to get the same popup and message. How do I stop it from reappearing?

    - Security Administrator title What role a typical "security administrator" would play ? Is this considered a position less complex than "Security Speciliast" or "Network Security Engineer", or perhaps such "security administrator" is just a title used interchanbly ?

    - Allowing specific local ActiveX to be run without warning Is it possible to tell IE to run one specific ActiveX dll stored locally without warning the user each time with the message: "To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...". ? Tag: TsInternetUser issues Tag: 73983

    - SP2 blocking ActiveX and Origin of HTML file We have developped an ActiveX that we run from HTML pages. Usually, when running the page, we get a warning from IE, asking for "permission" from the user before running the ActiveX: "To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...". But in some cases, we noticed IE does not ask for permission - it just runs the ActiveX without warning. We have a case where 2 HTML files with identical content have a different behavior: one asking for permission before running the ActiveX, the other not. The only difference we could find between the 2 HTML files is that one has a special "flag" (in the properties), that says that "the file comes from another computer, and might be blocked to help protect this computer" . Strangely, the file that does not ask for permission is the one that says that "it comes from another computer and might be blocked". To us, it seems to do the opposite of what it should be doing - if a file comes from another computer, you should be blocking its content. Is that normal behavior?

    - How to disable security warning in W2k3 SP1? Hello, I am running a Windows 2003 Server with SP1. I have a custom application written in .NET that runs unattended. The application dynamically generates Windows Batch files (*.bat) on a local folder and executes them. Before one of the generated files is executed, SP1 brings up a dialog box titled "Open File - Security Warning" asking "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?". This obvisouly halts execution of my application until I either select "Run" or "Cancel". What can I do to inform Windows that it is ok to run these batch files? I cannot have any dialog boxes popup as this runs unattended. I would appreciate it if some can help me out here. Thanks!

I am having events logged in Event Viewer and I am trying to figure this one
out.

Event Viewer shows -

Event Type: Error
Event Source: SAM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12294
Date: 7/25/2005
Time: 5:31:41 PM
Computer: MAIL1
Description:
The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of ã? due to a resource
error, such as a hard disk write failure (the specific error code is in the
error data) . Accounts are locked after a certain number of bad passwords are
provided so please consider resetting the password of the account mentioned
above.
Data:
0000: a5 02 00 c0 Â¥..Ã?

C:\WINNT\Debug\PASSWD.LOG shows -

07/27 01:49:52 Attempting password change server/domain HERITAGE for user
TsInternetUser
07/27 01:49:55 SamChangePasswordUser2 on machine \\GFFS1 for user
TsInternetUser returned 0xc000006a

And these errors and events happen every 24 hours. I know Windows changes
this password automatically every day to prevent hacking, but it appears to
have forgotten the password.

BTW - Users are able to use Citrix and I am able to use termianl services.
I just want to keep my event viewer clean.
