    - How do I config URLSCAN to deny HTTP TRACE Did a security audit on my Outlook Web Access server today and one of the high risk vulnerabilities found claimed I should use URLSCAN to deny HTTP TRACE requests. How do I do this? I've downloaded urltrace but I can't make head nor tail of it - seems to be an .ini file needs editing, but what do i put in?? Thanks in advance, Paul.

    - tilde shortcut I have a shortcut that popped up on my desktop. It is microsoft flying windows with a tilde character below it. When I click on properties, I get: type: file 183KB, MS DOS name (tilde), attributes: archive and nothing else. I opened it without apparent harm, and got a large file of code. I deleted it the shortcut, but it came back a couple of days later. I was working with a Word document. Is it associated with M/S Word? I also ran a virus scan on it which was negative.

    - Blue screen I downloaded and installed Norton Internet Security 2004 and ran live update. Upon completion, a box opens that says to reboot to finish the update. Upon reboot, I got an error message that reads: The instruction at "0x0040a2bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click ok to terminate the program. At the time when that error message popped up, my computer also froze. I could not move the mouse or curser to click ok and close anything. Can someone tell me where I can find out what that means and what I need to do to fix it. Thanks Dave -- Dave Tag: Can I disable the GUEST ACCOUNT on Win ME ? Tag: 44747

    - What is "your-wg5n33dutv" I have recently installed a internet security package and it identified a "Invalid Source IP Address" coming from 255.255.255.255 (protocol icmp)and being sent to your- wg5n33dutv (followed by my currently assigned ip address). So I am being pinged. I checked with my ISP and they are not sending it. I ran Ad-Aware and removed all non-windows related spy ware. I have done a google search on this and found several articles refering to your-wg5n33dutv as a location that seems to store results of some form of data gathering. Is this some part of Windows XP or some of their spy software? I am confused how the source IP can be 255.255.255.255? Does anyone have any idea of what this is??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff Tag: Can I disable the GUEST ACCOUNT on Win ME ? Tag: 44738

    - MSN Groups Hacked & Taken Over Two MSN Group Communities were hacked into last Saturday. All admin managers were removed, posts monitored and pages deleted. I have provided complete information to Customer Support and the guy is simply operating both like he legitimately owns them. Nothin has been done to get the guy out of them. The MSN Pets & Animals Channel was actually initiated by MSN in 2001 and in 2002 they asked me to take ownership and run it, which have doen since Feb 2002.There are 7000 members wondering what is going on. Looking for a step above Customer Support and feeling very much like burgars took over my house and the police won't do anything about it. Tag: Can I disable the GUEST ACCOUNT on Win ME ? Tag: 44737

    - Access 2000 Multi User I have Access 2000 running on a network with four stations connected to the server, each station has a copy of the software. When more than one user tries to access the application we receive an error that says she/he doesn't have exculsive rights. And when I look at the directory and file at that time there is a 'lock' icon on the file. I looked at the individual security parameters by station, but don't see anything that looks like it would prevent access by all users in a multi-user enviorement. Could this be at the server security level and the individual stations problem? Thanks Tag: Can I disable the GUEST ACCOUNT on Win ME ? Tag: 44713

    - Internet Explorer Today I received a message from Internet Explorer(I have received these before without a problem) in a blue box which said that an error had been received and that the computer had to be closed down. It then gave two boxes; one said 'send error report' and the other said 'don't send'. I then chose one of the boxes and closed down the machine. I think that the error I made was to close down the machine myself rather than let the software do it! Anyway, I cannot get rid of this box and everytime I turn the computer on and try and try and get on the internet by using Internet Explorer the same message is received. I have pressed the request boxes to both send and don't a report and nothing changes. Will someone please tell me what to do. Many thanks. Tag: Can I disable the GUEST ACCOUNT on Win ME ? Tag: 44707

    - Architecture for multiple servers Hi All, I am about to upgrade our NT 4.0 servers with 2003 servers. I anticipate that I will have either 3 or 4 servers operational. One will be for Exchange, one for Oracle, one for Terminal Server connections, and a fourth for File sharing and storage. I may be able to squeeze the file storage to the Terminal Server, but not sure. Anyway, our current architecture is: public IP to Nortel Contivity box for VPN access public IP to NIC1 in exchange server private IP to NIC2 in exchange server exchange server performing proxy et al to the local network I would like to make this more secure. First, and foremost, I understand that by default 2003 server IIS is MUCH better than 4.0 was. My question is: should I have a hardware firewall put in place, and route the traffic based on ports? Should I have 2 NICs in the new exchange server? I want to do this one right, since I had no say in the original NT system we are currently using. Thanks for any input!

I recently saw at a local used bookstore/software store where they had a pretty up to date copy of MSDN complete with Three Binders of CD's and a smaller binder of DVD's.

The account has been open for several years and I may have, at the onset, established a password, however; since that time I have forgotten it. Why is it that now I am being asked for the password?
