 - Event ID 560 We are required to audit success and failures on all printers. Now we receive failure event id 560 errors everytime someone prints to the printers. We do not receive any success events and all the prints get printed. We are running Server 2003 sp2. Is there a reason why we are getting failure events even though the prints are coming out successfully? TIA dwojt Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98904

 - Virtual Private Networking in Windows XP Pro. and in Windows 98 SE <long post and you were warned -- grin and bear it if you will> I wanted to add this post because when the APS network was hacked in 2007 and then my home computer was hacked it was really disturbing but now in reflecting back on the experience it was profoundly interesting as well. The hacker(s)? stole all my personnel information and my identity and it was my own stupidity that thought that I was so clever and I have now realized that pride goes before the fall. Anyway, Windows 98 Second Edition got hit with an error but apparently because of the internal safety of the operating system via the lack of services resulting in a smaller surface area as well as the machine not having the potential vulnerabilities of RPC (please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call for further information) and the NT source codes lack of a maintenance operating system like DOS (please see http://cquirke.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!C7DAB1E724AB8C23!336.entry ) for further details about what Windows Vista is lacking and also see a book I read about Windows History where early Microsoft Systems Engineers joked about NT being the Not There operating system because it lacked the internal safety structure of the underlying maintenance operating system compared to 9x operating system which was grounded on the strength of DOS. It could be also a lack of skill on the hacker(s)? part as well but please see the secunia website and search Windows 98 Second Edition and also search Windows XP Professional and you will be surprised to find which operating system has more current vulnerabilities. I am not including extras in my argument like Internet Explorer which I feel was sadly tied to the operating system back in 1998 and causes many of the problems users face today. I currently mainly use Mozilla Firefox because of the 256 bit cipher strength it uses even in Windows 98 Second Edition if the site has that high a cipher strength which apparently is sadly only available today with Microsoft Operating System "Windows Vista" and perhaps other Microsoft operating systems that are later than Windows XP Professional. This example is sadly being copied by Apple with its tying of Itunes with Quicktime and Itunes breaking if you remove Quicktime because of vulnerabilities. Apple is currently guilty of other bad software practices like pushing its weak Safari browser on users of Windows Computers as well as having software stealthily installed without a user consent. I noticed this on my computer with Bonjour being installed and I thought "okay what is this" and discovered with the help of Google that it is part of Apple software. This operating system is currently Windows XP Professional which I use as well as Windows 98 Second Edition in a dual boot on one machine as well as an oem copy of Windows Vista Home Premium in 32 bit on a Toshiba laptop/notebook computer. You can all laugh if you like but I have used computers since about 1984 when I first played King's Quest 1 by Sierra On Line on a 5.25 inch floppy drive on the IBM PCjr which my dad, Ivan still owns and it still works and is currently in storage and used every few years when I long for the good and easy workings of a computer that had BASIC which you loaded via a BASIC cartridge and from there I enjoyed simply programming and made my screen flash different colors and play different sounds with the help of my dad and a large book about BASIC. Anyway, I now realize it was my own fault and stupidity for connecting to a network that was as weak as the APS Network and the person or people broke through the network in the summer while I was away working at another job. The thing is that I brought that school's network from being crap to being fully functional within one school year and then within 3 months while I was away, some hacker(s)? took all the trouble that I had gone through with the help of the network administrator and flushed all that work done the tubes because of weak protocols set by the school as well as letting too many computers have administrative accounts as well as not listening to me about saving some Windows 98 Second Edition computers as well as my own which the school provided me but then stupidly decided we need to phase out all the older Windows 98 computers and I warned them but why would they want to listen to a single user when they thought they knew it all. Anyway, thanks for letting me explain and discuss and also to warn users to fully read up on material before using VPN with your home pc and if you are not required then it is just better to be safe and not accept that risk into your home pc. I was not required but too naive and too stupid because I did not realize that I was putting my computer at risk by asking for this permission from Ken the Director of Technology. I did get the permission but it was my thoughtlessness, excitement of learning new things that made me blaze a trail ahead without fully stopping, thinking and counting the consequences. Anyway, the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 which was fully patched was hacked and information was stolen and deleted and copied before I was fully aware of the attack. This shows us how since the external security of Windows XP Professional failed, then the internal safety of Windows 98 Second Edition prevailed and it only suffered from Rundll errors instead of the PC being fully compromised. I still have the data from the Windows 98 Second Edition PC if anyone in the newsgroup cares to analyze the data. The XP Professional side has been fully formatted and a clean install performed so all data there is just plain gone. Thanks for listening and I welcome all the positive and constructive comments that I know will be forthcoming. If you just want to be negative then don't be surprised, if I just ignore your post and/or post back some smart alec response. Please see for securing your older Windows 98 and NT computers from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/msim_win98 Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98865

 - Bandwidth consumption I have a small network 2xXP machines, 1xVista and 1xSmall Business Server 2003. It may be conicidence but recently (in the last 3 weeks) two things occuried on my network. My old DDNS service DirectUpdate stop working after a security fix was applied, so I replaced it with another. Two I upgraded one computer to Vista And about a week after noticed I was chewing bandwidth around 1GB of bandwidth a day. I have run TCPView on the one PC and on the Small Busines server. Which is acting as a router to the external world (connected using a IBurst router on an extrernal LAN, not running ISA, just the default Firewall in SBS2003) I have tried checking for spyware, and run all the updates but I cannot find where I am bleeding bandwidth (and I only get 3GB a month).

 - Survey Software - Can Help You To Manage and Conducting Your Research is critical to civilization. It is the quest for truth, understanding and developing new ideas. Several research methods exist, of which surveys play an integral part. Surveys are required to gather data on an array of fields such as market research, politics, healthcare, education, employee satisfaction, tourism and so on. Just a few years back, this was the toughest part of the whole process. One needed to carefully draft a questionnaire, search people, contact them personally through post, telephone or in person, and collect data. All that vast amount of data collected would then be coded and analyzed, costing time, money and effort. Survey Software is the one-stop solution for all research woes. It comes as one of the biggest boons for all research purposes. It is a timesaving, economical, efficient, effortless, accurate and far- reaching means of data collection. The ease of creating a survey with survey software lies in the step-by-step automated process, with many options available. The basic features of survey software include designing surveys, having a question library to choose questions from, entering data, analyzing responses using statistical methods, creating graphs and tables, and other general features like spell check and editing. Once prepared, the survey can be conducted through emails or the phone, published in print or online, and sent to an unlimited number of people, all with just a click of a mouse. A large number of vendors supply survey software online. Many of them provide free trials for a month, and a money back guarantee. Technical support and training is also provided in most cases. Most of these packs can be supported by home PCs. To purchase this software, one needs to understand and compare all features in detail according to the intended usage. Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98839

 - Win2k3 Certificates not accepted as Trusted Authority Hello, I'm running Win2K3 R2 and Exchange 2003 and installed Certification Authority to process certs for OWA. When a user clicks to trust/install the certificate during an OWA session the cert is never saved to the Trusted Root Certificate Authority section of their browser and they are prompted the next time they log on to trust /install the cert. Manually copying the .cer file and adding it to the local computer (even directly to the Trusted Root Certificate Authority container) has no affect.

 - Network Service security question Hi, If I create a web service to run on a Windows 2003 server under the Network Service account, will it have access to other server services elsewhere on my domain? The scenario is that I have created a web service to query a specified database. Different departments need the same functionality the service supplies but need to query different databases. the solution employed was to copy the service to their own local server and put data access information in the associated config file. That way they get the data they want to see and I don't have to duplicate code. The issue that has now been raised is that as the departments are all on the same domain and all the services are running as Network Service then they could possibly connect to a different server and access the resources (other services) there. I think i've read somewhere that the Network Service account is a local account, so does this mean that it can only access resources locally even though it has network permissions? Any thoughts? <M> Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98823

 - Zuten Trojan and Minidump File. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP3 CA Anti-Virus Plus CA Anti-Spyware 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------- A scan with CA Anti-Spyware 2008 found a Zuten Trojan. CA Anti-Spyware was set to delete spyware and cookies automatically once quarantined. Log shows: Quarantined Zuten Trojan was in Folder: C:\windows\minidump and 3 cookies were also found Quarantine is empty, I can only assume that the 3 cookies and the Zuten Trojan were deleted. .The c:\windows\minidump file can not be found. I can only assume that the file was deleted by the CA Anti-Spyware with the Zuten Trojan. At that point I ran Ad-Aware 2008, Super Antispyware and Windows Defender. I also ran a complete Windows Live One Care and nothing was found. My computer appears to be running normally. Should I be taking any further action? If I am in the wrong place, please point me in the right direction. Serge Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98814

 - Does Microsoft Need a New Source Code for the Future? I want to start a new topic on this because the Biometrics debate has gotten too long. I will now post Chris Quirke, MVPs reply to me about my thinking the 9x (98 Second Edition) should be part of the internal Defense Network of this source code. Chris Quirke, MVP says: I think we have the same ideas, but weigh things differently and reach different conclusions - you see the 9x code base itself as being something to be preserved at all costs, where I see the factors that make the 9x code base safer in certain respects as something that should inform other code base development. An interesting point from the article I linked for you, was the difference between deeply re-architecting an existing code base, and starting a new code base from scratch. I'd have though such deep design change to be as disruptive as re-coding from scratch, but apparently this is not the case. If that's so, then it may be practical to re-architect the NT code base as a true stand-alone OS, which keeps networking out of the center as an discardable subsystem should unexpected risks demand that response. I put it this way; exposed code surfaces are like points of wear in a car. You don't merge piston rings into pistons (or brake shoes into axles) so that when these parts get worn, they are easy to replace. Same thing with code surfaces; you may have to suddenly amputate or replace them, so don't embed them in the core of how the OS works. For example, an OS should be able to wipe its own butt without RPC, and/or not expose RPC to network surfaces (especially the Internet). It shouldn't rely on RPC to do internal things, weld this into Internet exposure, and then rely on a firewall as a band aid over this clickless, remotable risk surface. Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98729

 - Windows 2000 subordinate CA ---> 2003 I have a Windows 2000 subordinate CA in my domain that I want to upgrade to 2003. I would like to create a VMware virtual Windows 2003 virtual server and make it my CA because the physical hardware is old. Is this possible without upgrading the 2000 server to 2003? If it's not possible and I have to upgrade the exisiting server to 2003 along with certificate services, what steps do I take to make sure I have proper backups of my CA that are required if the upgrade does not go well for some reason?

 - Windows Explorer may expose FTP passwords in plaintext If you use Windows Explorer to open an FTP site that requires a password, Explorer may display the password in clear text in the future through the autocomplete feature in Explorer's Address bar. I've tried this on one XP SP3 machine and the password DOES appear, but on another XP SP3 machine only the username appears. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Windows Explorer and if necessary enable the display of the Address bar 2. In the Address bar, enter the URI of an FTP server that does not permit anonymous access and on which you have an account, e.g. ftp://host.domain.com/myfolder 3. Windows Explorer will prompt you for a username and password, and then will display the folder contents 4. Close Windows Explorer, then open Windows Explorer again. 5. In the Address bar, type ftp: At this point autocomplete should kick in and display the URI with at least your username and maybe the password displayed in clear text, e.g. ftp://username:password@host.domain.com/somefolder The version with the username and password don't appear in the Address bar's MRU dropdown, but just in prompts popped up by autocomplete. The password does not seem to appear in plaintext in the Registry. As I said, have one machine that reliably shows the password, and another that doesn't. Does anyone else find that the password is displayed? (No need to discuss the insecurity of FTP itself--that's not the issue here. This is about the potential for exposing previously used passwords on the desktop) Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98534

 - Use of Kerberos unreliable, can I force it? Hi! I had to learn that it is easily possible for clients in our network to work without Kerberos (tickets). Mostly because they boot their computer without a network connection. Those users have no Kerberos tickets (of course) but they don=92t get Kerberos tickets even after connection to our network (bug or feature?). There are also some other scenarios in which Windows relinquishes Kerberos. The problem is that we have some web applications that require a Kerberos ticket. My question: How can I switch on Kerberos as soon as they connect to the network? Or how can I force Kerberos authentication in a web application (SharePoint). Integrated Windows Authentication means NTLM or Kerberos=85 Tips would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Noel Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98476

 - SCEP implementation We have developed our Microsoft Server 2003 R2 PKI to issue certificates to Windows devices and to Cisco routers. The current configuration is a single Standalone Root CA which has been used to authenticate an Enterprise Subordinate CA and a Standalone Subordinate CA with SCEP. The Standalone root CA has then been taken off-line. Our Windows devices are issued certificates from the Enterprise Subordinate CA and our Cisco routers are issued certificates from the Standalone CA with SCEP. We have a backup site configured with Enterprise Subordinates and Standalone subordinates also. We are looking at consolidating this deployment by removing the standalone CA with SCEP and installing SCEP on our Enterprise Subordinate CA? This will result in all windows devices and Cisco devices being issued certificates from the one Enterprise subordinate CA. My question is: Are there any known problems, security, maintenance or operational issues with this approach? Tag: event id 577 Tag: 98469

 - Renew Subordinate CA certificate I have an Enterprise CA root server and a subordinate CA server in my domain (single domain). Both of these servers are running on Windows 2003 Enterprise edition. I was able to obtain a subordinate CA certificate when i originally set it up (this original sub CA certificate will expire on 2/2009). Now i would like to renew my subordinate CA's so the expiration date will be further out (e.g. to year 2012) so all client certificates issued by this subordinate CA will have a longer expiration date. According to this MS article, i should be able to renew it by right clicking on the sub CA server and select renew. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/4fbf053c-c0ae-4fad-a29d-1d17f04cd5fc1033.mspx?mfr=true After the renewal request, the subordinate CA didn't get a renewed certificate. The root CA server on the other hand did show that the new certificate has been issued. But the subordinate server just didn't get it no matter how many times i restarted the server. I need help!!

 - Folder permissions and take ownership Hi, I have a need to put an Active Directory group into the Administrators group on a number of machines for various reasons which cannot be stopped. The problem is there is an application on these machines that I do no want them to be able to access and the aaplication has no ability to request crednetials etc. It's just a dumb application. I considered using FOlder permissions to lock out the local administrator group from the folder. This stopped them from running the application until I when in as one of the users and simple took ownership of the folder and gave myself access. Then I tried adding a deny take ownership of the folder to the local admin group. Again it just allowed me to take ownership assuming becuase local admins can do that regardless of the deny rule I just created.

Probably some user right previously granted to Administrators group
has been removed and the admins have logged in after that happened.
The extended information in the event log might assist in finding out
what privs are now not being granted, which in turn might help getting
at what changed.
