    - Client Certificates Pardon my ignorance in the area of Certifiate Services. In the questions I may have made incorrect statements. I would greately appreciate if you could correct me. I am generating client certificates using win2k3 Certificate Services. After creating the certificate, I export it using public/private key pair into .pfx. file. I then import it to client machine personal store. In the personal node there are now 2 certificates. I am assuming it is a public client certificate and public CA certificate. Where does the private key get stored? If it is stored in some hidden place, how can I check what private keys have been imported to date? How can I delete them? Is the private key the same for all certificate for that CA? or is there different private key for each certificate for that CA? Thanks in advance Tag: email notes Tag: 44527

    - Someone using my MSN ID and email ? I cannot say for sure, but I usually get a good 30-40 emails per day with about 5-8 being Spam, the others are alot of Microsoft newsletters and other computer newsletters and then about 5 real emails. This number very rarely varies more then just a few. On a couple of times logging in over the last few weeks, I have gotten maybe 5 emails altogether and have had friends say they email me, but I never received the email. This has never been a problem on MSN except years ago when a "friend" found my login info and was diverting mail. I just changed the password again, (last time that helped for about 10 days) and so far....at least for the last few days I am back to receiving my normal emails. However over the last week (before I changed the password again) there was a very large drop in the emails that I received. Is there anyway to get basically a "log on file" from MSN that would show what IP's people used to logon to my account ? This would at least limit the people that might have access to the email. Not sure if this is something for Microsoft Privacy or Security or what. The general customer service just give me thee pre-canned message to change your password often. The last password I used was a long one (about 18 characters) and I do not know any other way around this. Any ideas out there as this is something I really do not like very much !

    - System Back Date I am pretty new to the pc world. I bought my pc in Feb last year, and up until August, it was working fine. Then the problems started. and have multiplied 1000 times. Q.... If I back date the system to July, would this get rid of all my problems? And would I lose any programmes i have since installed? What data would remain and what would be lost?

This is how it looks on Spybot: Look2Me: ClassID HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{DDFFA75A-E81D- 4454-89FC-B9FD0631E76} In SpywareBlaster, I click Tools ; CustomBlocking ; AddItem. I then have to fill in 1)Name for New Item. 2)Enter the new Item's CLSID. From the 'Look2Me' example above, what do I type in for these 2 requests? Thank you Tag: email notes Tag: 44510

    - Auto login question I have a Media Center PC set up on a home network with other XP Pro PCs. In terms of sharing files and printers, I have found that I need to create accounts with the identical names/passwords on each computer. I have also found that using a blank password on both sides of connection doesn't seem to allow sharing to work very well. So, on my Media Center PC I need to create a password for the primary account in order to be able to access the printer on another one of my PCs. However, I do *not* want to have to type in a password every time I turn on the TV a.k.a my Media Center PC. So is there a way to have an account with a password but still get an automatic login? Or perhaps there is a way to make the Windows networking or security not be so picky about blank passwords? -- Keith Tag: email notes Tag: 44507

    - BillGates v. GeneralMotors For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon". In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: (and I just love this part) 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light. 7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. Please share this with your friends who love, but sometimes hate their computer! Tag: email notes Tag: 44451

    - Win2k3 Web Edition, where is the protection? <rant I'm really irritated at Microsoft for not caring about security. Didn't Nimda, CodeRed, Blaster, etc. tell them anything yet How on earth can they not ship a simple statefull packet firewall with the 'Web Edition' version, like they do with WinXP and the other 2k3 server editions </rant Which brings me to the following question. Since IPSec is now the only other way for me to secure the box, how on earth does one define an IP range instead of single IPs. I want to limit access to TCP port 3389 for Remote Desktop to a dynamic IP range that my ISP carries. I got no trouble setting this up with IPsec, but the GUI doesn't allow for an IP range, only one IP at a time, and I refuse to create 5 * 255 entries to cover the dynamic spread of IPs my cable modem might end up with.

    - Problem setting a SecurityDescriptor using ADSI Hello, I have just run into an interesting problem when setting a Security Decriptor on an NTFS file. I get the following error: Run-time error '-2147023589 (8007051b)': Automation Error This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object. I am logged in as the Domain Administrator, and I haven't tried to change the ownership, I've simply added an ACE and tried to save the DACL with the same (untouched) SecurityDescriptor (i.e. objSecurity.SetSecurityDescriptor "D:\SecTest", ADS_PATH_FILE, objSecDesc, ADS_SD_FORMAT_IID ) I was trying to add code to change the owner programmatically, so I went and "manually" set the owner to another (non-admin) account to see if I could pick up the change of ownership in my code, and then discovered that while the owner was set to the non-admin account, I would get this error message whenever I tried to write the SD, even though that account is already the owner, and I'm not trying to change the ownership, just the DACL! I would really appreciate any help you could give me... I obviously can't deploy the component if it blows up when a different owner is set on file... Thanks in Advance! John Harvey ---- Go!

    - Recombining a server certificate and private key This was previously posted to microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.security, but perhaps that group is too specific, as no-one could suggest a solution. It's really a question about handling certificates and private keys. --------------------------------- W2k Server, IIS5 We have a 3-year server certificate for SSL, which we've used for about a year. When our hard drive failed recently, our disaster recovery script worked fine, except that we haven't been able to re-install the certificate with its private key. We backed up the CSR and private key before we ordered the certificate, because we found (when testing with a trial certificate) that, once the certificate is installed (the pending request satisfied), the private key is no longer available for export. (This appears to be confirmed at http://www.ebizid.com/support/faq_iis5.html) . We backed up the certificate as soon as it was received from the CA. But this means we now have a .CRT file from the CA and a separate .PFX file containing the CSR and private key. As I understand it, we need to import from a single .PFX file that contains both the certificate and the key. Can I use OPENSSL (or something else) to create the combined "server certificate and private key" file I need? So far, all I've achieved is to use OPENSSL to extract the private key from the first file. Mike Tag: email notes Tag: 44337

    - what software to monitor user's email and internet usage? I have a situation that needs to be addressed and I'm looking for SBS 2000 compatible server integrated software that will provide detailed user email and web reports. I want to be able to see all websites visited and on what days for every user. I also want to be able to filter email for certain words and capture those messages with detailed reports for every user. No, I'm not big brother. I'm trying to provide a deterrent for employee misconduct by showing them that we can see everything they're doing and that the computers are corporate assets, not personal, private assets. In a construction company, I'm sure you can imagine what I might be dealing with. :>) Thanks, eric Tag: email notes Tag: 44336

    - Recovering from all the spyware I used to have lots of spyware on my computer, it was so bad my computer kept freezing up.....I ended up doing a full recovery and wiping out everything except what I wanted to save. Everyone who cant get rid of all the spyware should try this. I feel like My computer is new again. Make sure you do all the security updates again and update your virus software and also get software to scan for spyware. And also a firewall should be in place. Tag: email notes Tag: 44321

    - Repeated windows update issue I have an issue with windows update on a windows 2000 server. (2 actually out of the 4 we run). Since Jan. 14th, 2004, every time I get on 2 of the servers it says it has downloaded and is ready to install updates, so being the good little admin I look at the details, see that it is Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (KB832483). So since we have it on all 4 I do the update. It completes successfully. I go about my business. Now here's the problem. It took me until today to realize (dumb me) that it has done this up to 10 times on these 2 servers. Once only on the other two servers, but 10 times on the 2 in question. What I would like to know does ANYBODY have any idea what's going on? I called the PCSAFETY line but they told me it is a standard server issue and I should call or submit a post here. So I'm asking for help. HELP!! Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do about it???? Any and all feedback is welcome. (Please be kind). Thanks in advance. Tag: email notes Tag: 44305

Microsoft never sends email attachments.

It's a virus.
