    - Making Active X Safe or Signed I used QuickTime to make a small movie on my Web site. It came up on one computer using Win 2000 as unsafe. The Active X settings seem to be the same as on a second computer with OS Win 2000. I would think that QuickTime or any other common player or plugin would be safe and signed. How does one make such a slide presentation safe and signed??? AND Why are the settings for Active X in Internet Explorer 6 on Win 2000 different on one computer using the same OS than on another using Win 2000 OS??? When I go to Windows Updates the troubled computer does not need updates. How can I update Internet Explorer 6 to fix whatever is the problem? Is there a way? Thank you.

    - FileSpy Hi All, I have come across a piece of software called FileSpy which is running on my PC. I have done a bit of digging and this is a piece of software which is used to log and view when a file was accessed (and much more info but that is the general idea). What I can't find out is if it is a problem? I can't tell from the information I have read whether it is / isn't. Does anybody have any knowledge of this item? Is this file something which I have been tricked into installing but provides access to external users or is it something which is used by other applications Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68988

    - Hotmail Sign Out Problem When I try to sign out of Hotmail, I can see that IE is trying to pull up the standard MSN logout page, but very quickly, IE stops processing the page, indicates that it is done, but I end up with a blank page. I have all updates from Microsoft except XP SP2, which I uninstall after experiencing problems with browsing. I have a fast ADSL connection, so I know it's not the speed. I'm also current on running anti-virus and anti-spyware searches. It doesn't appear that my pop-up blocker is the issue either. I'm concerned that I'm not completely logging out of Hotmail and I'm not comfortable just closing out the browser since I fear there might be a bigger issue. Any idea?

    - what firewalls to use? i am trying to read and research the best way to setup the firewalls you need for your computer. Do certain firewalls conflict with each other where its better to run one than the other. In my house we use a d-Link router, now can than be considered a hardware firewall. On my computer I run Windows Xp home edition with the service pack 2. that has the security center and firewall does this replace the internet connection firewall. Is the serivce pack sufficent enough and give you the best protection. I also have on my computer Norton System works 2005 premier si there anything on there that will conflict with the firewalls where I should disable one thing and enable another. I would like it so the protection from things getting into my computer is ias ggod as things on my computer being able to leak out for people to see them. i am just trying to learn the best possible way to protect everything if that is possible. I hope you can help me with some knwledge thanks jake Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68965

    - Can't use cached credentials on non-domain member workstations I have users whose machines are not memebers of the domain, and I want them to be able to access resouces (Exch 2003, web folders, ftp folders, etc...) using cached credential from their workstation logins.

    - changing Administrator password I'm running an NT4 based domain. I'd like to change the built-in Administrator account password. My boss tried changing it before I worked here, and he says everything stopped working and he had to call a guy to come change it back. That was kind of vague to me, but I know at least Exchange stopped working, as well as a Visual Foxpro based database application that users access via a file share. I know I need to take appropriate steps for changing the Service Account in Exchange, and I'll deal with BackupExec as well. I did a query on the services on both servers, and it appears that everything else is using the LocalSystem account. Is there anything else I should check for, to be certain that there are no more dependencies on the Administrator account? Thanks, Dave Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68958

    - OpenSSH on Windows Server 2003 Hi, all. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this topic, but I'm having a problem with an OpenSSH for Windows 3.8.1p1-1 installation on Windows Server 2003. I installed the software a couple of times before in various environments. I had some diffficulties while trying to install it in high security environments (that suffered some hardening procedures), but in time learned how to set it up correctly. All of those platforms were Windows 2000 Server. Now I'm trying to make it run on 2k3. I'm pretty sure that I've set all NTFS permissions correctly, meaning RW allowed on working folders and RX allowed on programme folders for specifically allowed SSH users (at least those proved to be sufficient). But when trying to connect to that SFTP server using some known SFTP clients (like FileZilla or PSFTP), it doesn't let me get there. I've enabled DEBUG logging level and can clearly see in Application Log that it recognizes the user and authenticates it (at least to itself, meaning it confirmes the password), but suddenly says that the login attempt failed. I'm very much puzzled. I had similar problems on 2k and solved them by editing Local Security Policy where I added those SSH users to "Access this computer from the network" and "Allow log on locally". So I've added the same policy entries to this server, but with no improvements. Anyone? Many thanks in advance. Bye. Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68953

    - Passwords When I log onto a site and have to enter a user name and password, as soon as I start the first letter of the user name the full user name pops up along with the password already there. I must have asked windows to remember my user name and password. I really don't remember. This is a personal account and I would like to be able to change the "remember user name and password" so that anyone that might go to the site on my computer won't be able to just click and be signed on. My question is "How do I delete or remove the user name and password from being remembered by windows and make me manually sign in?" Thank you. Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68945

    - Interesting Spyware report from US FTC Here is an interesting report from the US Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) on Spyware http://www.ftc.gov/os/2005/03/050307spywarerpt.pdf I thought this quote was an eye opener! "According to this panelist, there are 800 million computers in use worldwide, of which 50% do not have even basic protections against virus attacks, despite years of consumer education about viruses. However, the other 50% - or 400 million computer users - have installed anti-virus protection, and industry can build on that base in addressing spyware. Consumer education may be particularly useful with teens, because it is often the teens in a household who are engaging in the online activities that lead to installation of spyware."

    - Dream Pack? Need to get into PC w/PW from fired employee I'm trying to help a former client of mine who is somewhat elderly but still runs a small public accounting firm. He has fired his longtime trusted assistant after, you guessed it, she embezzled funds. She knew much more about computers than him and she was the network (small network) administrator. I think he has most problems under control but she placed a PW on her PC and it has important company files on it (in addition to evidence). I've heard of something called "Dream Pack" that is open source and cheap, and which will allow him to get into the PC and just change the password to whatever he wants and gain access to it. I do not have time to travel to his little office but I really want to help this old guy. He is like a grandfather type guy and I just want to point him in the direction of something that will open that computer and perhaps I can walk him through the steps over the phone. Has anybody heard of this software and can anybody give me any leads on this? I'm an Excel/Access/Word programmer but I don't know operating system or security stuff.

    - Permission Problem/RPC function failure I am having a permission problem with my Windows Server 2003 System. I am attempting to access a HP StorageWorks optical 220mx via QStar software. Qstar has troubleshot the issue to a permission problem. *Please note that I also have problems accessing folders/files on a fat partition of my drive as well and I believe this may be directly related to this same permissions problem. The following is an email explaining their (QStar) findings: Yahoo! Mail - wcdep@yahoo.com Print - Close Window From:"Corey Mayer" <cmayer@qstar.com> To:"'rae frainco'" <wcdep@yahoo.com>, kworkman@qstar.com Subject:RE: White County Sheriff Office Date:Thu, 3 Mar 2005 08:37:25 -0600 Hi Ray, Here is more detail of what is happening. When a user accesses any remote SMB server, Explorer opens srvcvs on share IPC$ and communicates thru srvcvs with NetShareEnum (which is Windows RPC function). If this fails (i.e. remote SMB server replies â??not supportedâ??) Explorer will then call SMB_TRANSACT with function LM_SHARE_ENUM_API, which is a regular request in SMB documentation. The NetShareEnum is Windows specific RPC call and Microsoft has never documented this function, therefore we cannot use this function. So, Explorer will first attempt to use Microsoft RPC function and then if this fails it will use standard SMB function. For your 2 users when they try to connect to QStar the regular Microsoft RPC function fails with â??not supportedâ?? and instead of calling SMB function the user attempts 10 times before giving up on Microsoft RPC function and using SMB function instead. From the debug logs we could see the user that has no issues did not attempt as many times. I am investigating this issue and trying to find a configuration parameter within Windows that will stop the users from attempting 10 times before giving up. If it is as you say "not a QStar issue", than please explain to me why these two personnel never previously had problems accessing the folder/files before it was copied to the jukebox and governed by the QStar system? I am making the assumption that prior to QStar you were using a share on a Windows machine. If so, then the reason is because a Windows server can accept the NetShareEnum connection. Hope this helps explain the situation we are seeing. Thanks Corey ------------------------------------ QStar Technologies, Inc.

Corey Mayer <cmayer@qstar.com> wrote: Ray, Looks like we found what the problem is. Authentication server responds up to 3 seconds. There are 2 types of SMB requests which can be sent to a SMB server from a SMB client b_ a regular and enhanced. Microsoft SMB server supports both, however QStar supports just the regular request. The reason why QStar only supports the regular request is because the enhanced request uses undocumented Microsoft RPC calls. So what happens is the client first sends enhanced request, QStar responds b_ not supported, then client sends regular request, QStar serves the request. Looking at the logs we found that one client performs this procedure just once, but the other client repeats it 10 times before using regular request and each time it also has to get authentication from the server. The behavior depends on client only. My development team feels that there must be some configuration for client communication properties, probably on the server. Also, my development team felt that 3 second response time from the authentication server was a bit slow the normal speed should be 0.5 seconds. Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68801

    - Obtaining permissions from recursive directories I want to say first that the new Security scripting site is great. Now, I have takent the security script for finding the permissions on folders and set it up as a function that recurses through folders and returns permissions for each folder.

The root of my path returns correctly, but folders under it do not. I have included the function below. Can any one help with why this doesn't work.

    - Microsoft Anti-Spyware Software Auto Scan I want to have Microsoft Anti-Spyware run at night on my Win2K network when everyone is logged off. I tried scheduling the scan in the software but this requires you to be logged in, or may not run because of lack of rights when someone is logged off. I also tried putting it in the task scheduler with no results. Let me know how I can run this scan whenever I want with no one logged in. Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68694

    - Problems with Virtual Server 2005 Installation Hello all, I am trying to run Virtual Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 Server system. I initially had trouble getting the installation program to realize that I was running IIS 6.0 and it kept denying creation of virtual site. I got the latest build and this was bypassed. Now after installation, when I browse to the website, it pops up user credentials. I gave it a local administrative account (and tried many other accounts too) - but it keeps throwing back a HTTP 401 error message. Things I tried already: 1. I checked out the posts that mentioned the Launch permissions to be given to the Virtual Server DCOM object. Did that. In fact, my screen looked a little different that most of those in the posts - not sure why. I don't get a Remote Activation checkbox at all. 2. I tried allowing all unrecognized ISAPI and CGI applications in IIS. Didn't help. 3. I tried changing to Anonymous Access, Basic Authentication, etc. Didn't work. I guess there is some problem with IIS being able to launch .exe (vswebapp.exe is the CGI application that is to be run). Any pointers? -- blog: pandurang.thinkingMS.com Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68690

    - Can I customise standardWindows lockot message? Hi, I would like to customise "Unable to log you on because your account has been locked out, please contact your administrator." to another message. Can I do it? I know that we can setup a message text for users attempt to login in the Domain Security Policy. Is there a similar for a Account Lockout message? Charles Tag: Windows Messenger Problem Tag: 68677

    - Task Manager permissions. Is there a way to allow non-administrators to permission to "Show processes for all users" in task manager? I have some people who can benefit from this information but giving them administrative rights is inappropriate. The platform is Windows Server 2003. Thank you.

I am using Windows Messenger 4.7.3001 and recently typed my password into to
"email address" box on sign in by accient, now when anyone who uses this
computer wants to use it and they click the arrow to show all previous login
names - my password appears. I was wandering if I can clear this list
somehow? Thanks,

Hi Nick
First things first: change your password!

Assuming you have done that try the following:
1) In Control Panel, select User Accounts
2) Click on Change an Account
3) Click on your login account, and then on the left click on Manage my
network passwords
4) You should now be presented with a list of accounts, select your password
and click the Remove button.

NOTE: The interface is different for WinXP Pro when it is in Domain mode
(i.e. it is the Manage Password button on the advanced tab) so you might
have to click about a bit to find it!

Obvious huh? - NOT! ;-)
Let us know if this does the trick, good luck
