    - Can a password be required to print? I work at a Juvenile Probation Department where we are loking to introduce to the youth a computer lab and library system. One of the concerns that has arose is a concern related to them printing. We are looking to be able to manage what they print and how much they print. One option is to have the printers only accessable by certain computers or users on the network. However, this is a hassle because it would require staff to have to log the youth off of the computer, then them log on either at that computer or on a different computer (depending on the set-up), then finally go through the network and find the youth's document(s) and print it/them. Instead, we would like a way to simply require a password to print. TO give a visual: When a youth has something to print, they will first press the print button, then raise their hand. Thereafter, a staff would come and approve or disapprove of the print job. In the case of approval, a password would be entered. THere is a software out there that does this, UNiPrint by Pharos Systems. However, it is expensive. $5000 for the asic software, then $150 per printer license for each printer on the network that will be configured with this system. Are there any other software programs out there that can do this. Can you do this with Microsft and I just don't know it? -Zakhary Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82554

    - pfx certificate chain problem Hi I have .spc and .pvk files from Thawte for our digital certificate and I'm currently working on making an application that will install a ClickOnce deployment of one of our products on a client's server. I used pvk2pfx.exe to create a pfx file to use for signing with mage.exe. Everything works fine except when using mage.exe I update the providerUrl, so that it will load from the server the client wants to run from, this works fine. But when i do "mage.exe -Sign MyProgram.application -CertFile myCert.pfx -Password ******" it works perfectly fine on my system, but when I run it on any other system it gives me: "Internal error, please try again. An internal certificate chaining error has occurred." The tree goes from our certifcate to: Thawte Code Signing CA... and the root is... Thawte Premium Server CA... The thing is both these parents of our certificate are in the other machines certificate store... so I don't understand why its giving me this error, its not exactly like Thawte aren't trusted on machines... I've tried this on Win 2000 SP4 and Win XP SP2 machines... any ideas? I tried importing the certificate into my store then exporting it again as pfx and not include all certificates in the path... but this still doesn't work. thanks for any help Kris Wragg Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82543

    - msn messenger hacked I dont think there is a solution to this but thought i may as well try. I spoke to a friend today who mentioned something about a conversation we'd had a couple of nights ago on msn messenger..... however i wasnt on. Now i know whoever hacked into my account obviously knew me as they talked about fairly personal things so it isnt a major security issue however i would just like to know who it was. My password wasnt changed and it was definately logged in on another computer. I know its a long shot but is there any chance i can find out who it was?! thanks.

    - Possible to track user's file system usage? Hello, We have a top level employoee who has given his 2 week notice. The president of the company came to me becuase he is worried that this employee will 'steal' information over the next two weeks. Now likely if he were going to do that, he already would have before putting in his notice. It is important to the company that he trains his replacement over the next two weeks, so they'd rather not terminate him immediatley. So my question is, is there a way (or 3rd party product) in Windows 2000\2003 to capture\audit what files a user copies from network drives to his local computer? Thanks!

I tried local security settings - user access rights but i cant find a way to provide backup operators to have access to change journal. If change journal is simply like a file then why backup operators do not have access to it. Also is there a way to allow backup operators to have access to change journal in windows.

    - Services.exe strange behaviour I had a virus infection on my Windows XP Pro SP2 installation a month ago. I have successfully removed the infection, but I have noticed some strange behaviour on my system ever since. Upon startup, maybe 25% of the time, services.exe will die, causing my system to shutdown after a 1 minute timeout. Also, if my wireless network connection is enabled, services.exe will enumerate every single file on my hard drive, in alphabetical, depth first order. This can take upwards of 1 hour, and is only noticable because I was using sysinternals filemon utility to trace another problem. About every 30 minutes, the services.exe will hit 100% CPU usage for about 15-30 seconds. Interestingly, if I am connected to a network with the wired network adapter, or if I am not connected to any network, services.exe does not enumerate the files or takeu up the CPU time. There are no suspect ports open on my machine. I have verified that the services.exe file is the same (with a file compare) as the one provided with SP2, and that the services.exe that is running is indeed running out of the c:\windows\system32 directory and not some rogue directory. I have only minimal services running on this machine. The only two running services listed to run under the services.exe are Event Log and Universal Plug and Play. It seems to me that this is not appropriate behaviour. My question, then, is: should I expect this behaviour from services.exe? How can I troubleshoot further to determine if this is a problem or not? Thanks, Sam Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82489

    - Embed-tag referring to dynamic rendered SVG content is blocked in IE6 Hi all, I have a problem regarding the embed tag using IE6 with most recent security patches running on a Windows XP. The following scenario lets me loose hours figuring out the reason, why it doesn't work :-( : I have a simple ASPX-page containing an EMBED-tag, which refers to another page, which dynamically creates SVG code. <html> <embed src="svgContent.aspx" id=svg width="888" height="1050" type="image/svg+xml" /> </html> This worked fine until a few weeks ago. Until then, IE 6 just shows an empty page. No errors, no nothing, only a white readonly frame with no content. Checking the html-protocol it seems, IE just doesn't adress the "svgContent.aspx" at all. It's not even trying to load the page. On an older machine, this works perfectly. So I guess, it must be a security issue. But scanning the web I found nothing that could give me a hint and what I could do making it work again. Also, if I link the src attribute to static content, eg. helloworl.svg, everything works perfectly. It seams, IE6 (or IIS6) realizes, that there is dynamic content and does not allow redirecting it to the SVG-ActiveX Control. The svgContent.aspx looks something like this: <script language="c#" runat="server"> protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { string svgSource = Server.MapPath(@"svgsimple1.svg"); Response.ClearContent(); Response.ContentType = "image/svg+xml?"; System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(svgSource); string content = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); Response.Write(content); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); } </script> Of course, this sample makes not much sense, since I just load a static svg-file. In the real application, the code is fully dynamically composed and written into the Response object. These are the configurations: Client: - IE6 running on Windows XP SP2 - most recent security patches - Adobe SVG Viewer 3.03 installed Server: Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 Anybody has an idea, how to solve this problem? Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance Daniel Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82488

    - Open file - security warning....How do I disable it? I would like to disable this feature for all users. Here is the context 1. We are in the process of migrating to windows server 2003. We have our data directories setup so that each client server accesses DFS shares instead of directly talking to the servers that hold the client data. The basic file system looks something like this: \\domain\dfs\dfs_folder1 \\domain\dfs\dfs_folder2 \\domain\dfs\dfs_folder3 \\domain\dfs\dfs_folder4 \\domain\dfs\dfs_folder5 etc......... When I click on certain .exe's or .bat's I notice that a dialog box comes up for any user: open file - security warning. I have already gone through the posts on this subject and I am able to remove the warning if I go into gpedit.msc and then to the "User configuration\attachment manager", I can specify a file type, ie. all .exe's or all .bat's which doesn't help me because this appears to say to ignore ANY .exe which is dangerous. I need the protection. I want to be able to specify a list of permitted programs and have the computer not ask me about them similar to creating an exception in the windows XP firewall menus. The reason I think it is not working is because gpedit.msc seems not to recognize the UNC names of my DFS structure. "\\domain\dfs\share". I would love to be able to add a wild card so it understands to treat the entire domain as intranet or local and then remove security inside the network. 2. Next, I need to be able to make this a system wide adjustment without going in the individual profies and making the changes all across the network. I have also added the domain and all the servers to the trusteds and local internet/intranet sites. Any viable solution I find is a USER specific fix. I need to be able to run this GLOBALLY meaning for everyone on the network including the system admins. This would be great if either a .reg file existed or a script that I could use in order to manualy add the exceptions, or disable the IEES altogether. If we can keep it active great, but if it not then it is certainly not the first priority. 1. My question is how can I set a group policy rule to allow programs originating from inside the network wihtout this prompt Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82477

    - Automatic Security Update I have MS Office Prof & XP. Windows recently auto dl'ed an update. I tried to install it and rec a msg that tells me that some required files are on the original Office CD and that I should put that CD in the machine. That is part of the prob, I am on the road and do not have the software with me. The other part of the prob is that I need to use Excel and when I try to start it the auto installation of the security update starts instead and we go through the same process which effectively blocks Excel from running. My question is how do I block or delete this particular auto update? Thank you. roger1938 Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82466

    - Several encryption schemes suddenly missing in Excel 2003 From one day to the next one I suddenly can't open a password-protected Excel file anymore. After investigating this issue I found out that the Excel file uses the encryption scheme "RC4, Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0". However for some strange reason this encryption scheme isn't available any more in my Excel 2003. From all the encprytion schemes listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294414/en-us my Excel 2003 suddenly only knows these anymore: - XOR encrpytion - Office 97/2000-compatible - RC4, Microsoft Base DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider - RC4, Microsoft DH SChannel Cryptographic Provider - RC4, Microsoft Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider Another user on this laptop however has the full list of encryption schemes available and can open the password-protected Excel file. Now how do I get back the other encryption schemes? Thanks in advance, Boris Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82464

    - How can I decrypt a Microsoft Word document for which I have the key? Hi all, I'm rather a novice when it comes to security concerns in the Microsoft realm, so please bear with me. Here's my situation: A friend has an old Microsoft Word (97+, I am guessing) document for which she has set an "open document password." That is, the file is password-protected and encrypted. She has forgotten the password for the file and now needs to open it, but can't without cracking the security protection she has already placed on it. I have never before even attempted anything like this, but figuring it a good opportunity to learn something I took it upon myself to see if I could help. My research uncovered a plethora of Windows-based tools (applications) which promise to recover the password if I buy the full version of the program, but since this task is largely for my own edification it would be utterly pointless just to pay for a program. Nevertheless, I tried to the demo versions of plenty of these programs. One proved fruitful: it has managed to recover the encryption key used on the document. So now I have learned several things about the Word document. Firstly, the password is more than five characters long. Secondly, that it is likely a "modern" version of Microsoft Word. Thirdly, and I am assuming most helpful, I know the precise encryption key. Knowing these things, especialy the encryption key, how can I now decrypt the document and read its contents? Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction. Regards, -Meitar Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82460

    - Alfacleaner - Removal questions Hi, we are running Windows XP and use McAffee Suite. Last week, AlfaCleaner appeared on our computer. I had no idea what it was or where it came from. I noticed it only because I was getting warnings saying it was trying to connect to the internet. I tried to remove the program by clicking on the "uninstall" option. However, after 3 attempts at this, each one resulting in a "fatal error" which shut down the computer, I opted to do a system restore back to a date before the appearance of the AlfaCleaner. This removed the program from my desktop and list of programs. My concern is that I did some research on AlfaCleaner today and learned it is malware and has teh ability to reactivate itself even after removal. I'm not a computer whiz and concerned this will happen to us. I found 11 pages worth of instructions on bleepingcomputer.com outlining how to remove the Alfacleaner and am wondering if that's what I need to do. This evening I dowloaded Windows Defender. It scanned and only came up with one suspicious file (not AlfaCleaner) that I had it remove. My question is...was the system restore I did sufficient to remove AlfaCleaner or could it still be out there lurking on my computer. I would appreciate any help or guidance you could offer.

If I press the F5 key it will bring me to the page where I can choose: -Safe Mode -Reboot from network -Reboot from last known working Windows (however it's worded) -Boot from Windows -(& a few other choices) but no matter which choice I choose it all still does the same thing. It tries to load Windows then cuts of & reboots, tries to start Windows then cuts off and reboots over and over and over. In other words, I can not get into the Safe Mode or anything. This morning the laptop was working properly. This afternoon the laptop was malfunctioned-----or infected. I am wondering if I possibly have the following virus (w32/IRCbot.worm) but then I have no earthly clue what is actually going on. Can anyone help me out on what to do to get this laptop back to where Windows without having to reinstall Windows XP to where I loose all of it's contents.

I chat in a room in yahoo chat but I am having problems with some bad people that all they do is swearing on the mic all the time and booting everyone trying to use the mic or to talk to them to stop.The problem that I can not block them because they use special software that protect them from being blocked. If there is any solution or anything I can do to boot them from that room, please provide me with. Looking forward to getting an answer to my issue. Simo from Colorado.

    - x509 General question about x509. My understanding is that x509 is used to protect data while it is in transit (from one web server to another, etc). Once the web server receives the data , it is decrypted accordingly. x509 is only a transport encryption. You cannot use x509 to encrypt a file and keep it safe on your file system. Is this correct? If this is the case, how is x509 different from SSL? My guess is that x509 provides more security, such as authenticating the sender, etc so you can reject the request (keep unwanted people away from your webservice). Any help is appreciated. Links to good x509 sites are good too. Chris Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82326

    - Rename running process (can't) I posted this on the XP general newsgroup, but I'm not sure that was the right place, this might not be either. On all my computers, with Windows 2000 and up (apparently it should work lower NT versions as well) I can rename an executable that is currently running with either a MoveFile inside the program, or manually in the shell. On one of my machines I can't, and I get a sharing mode (code 32) error. Does anyone know what could influence this functionallity and make it impossible to do this on that particular machine? The machine is close to a fresh install, mostly there's just Windows OneCare on it. I only found one post about not being able to do this, back in 2003, with no real anwser http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.win2000.file_system/browse_thread/thread/d061625492aababe/5613724362886a6d?tvc=2&q=group%3Amicrosoft.*+rename+running+process -- Etienne Boucher Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82323

    - Cannot install any antivirus software I've Windows XP profession system currently without any anti-virus protection. I suspect there is some kind virus after verifying DoS to microsoft, symantec etc. Winlogon.exe is always consuming much of the system resources. When I tried to install Norton antivirus, I got directory access permission denied error. Then I checked Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared it was marked as Read Only, even if I remove read-only flag within seconds it was set back to Read Only (I have admin previllages in this system) Similar errors (directory access permission denied) were met with Kaspersky installation, AVG installation. And I and stuck without having a anti-viurs soultion. Can somebody help me to solve this problem? thanks in advance Raj Nair Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82304

    - Web Certificate Enrollment security problem Have a problem that many others have, but haven't found any solution in KB or another NG Post. There are hints that something has to be ajusted with dcomcfg, but not any hint what has to be changed. - Have an enterprise CA on a Windows 2003 SP1 enterprise edition member server - Have the Certificate Web Enrollment Website installed on another Windows 2003 SP1 member server - Have enabled "trust this computer for delegation" on the computer with the Certificate Enrollment Website according KB 239452 - Rebooted both member servers - Have tried with either Windows and Basic authentication When requesting a certificate, after the Website shortly displays "processing request", the following error appears: Error Your request failed. An error occurred while the server was processing your request. Contact your administrator for further assistance. Request Mode: newreq - New Request Disposition: (never set) Disposition message: (none) Result: Access is denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5) COM Error Info: CCertRequest::Submit Access is denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5) LastStatus: The operation completed successfully. 0x0 (WIN32: 0) Suggested Cause: The Certification Authority Service has not been started.

    - MS06-011 question I was a little surprised when MS06-011 was released today for Windows 2003 when installed with no service pack, even though the security already exists in SP1 for 2003. I would have expected Microsoft to just have people install SP1. Any insights why MS did it this way rather than pushing SP1 --Scott Tag: DNS appliances vs servers Tag: 82295

Currently I am running Win2000 DNS Servers (external, split configuration).

Since I need to upgrade to Win2003 and also replace hardware, I am wondering
whether buying an appliance to offer DNS servers would be a better option.
Let me know if you have any thoughts and recommendations to which appliance
(could be loaded with Win2003 OS) I could pick. Let me know whether there is
any hidden cost of getting an appliance instead of server hardware.

Unless you have an extensive external presence I would suggest
you simply let the external zone be hosted by your domain name
or network access provider (this assumes they are good, redundant,
etc.) and that you just stick with AD integrated zones on the DCs
for internal consumption.

Frankly I cannot find any good reason to chose an "appliance" over Windows
2003 DNS for a reason other than, basically, cost.
