Enforce stronger password policy for administrator
My Win2K single domain is set to expire passwords every 180 days, 6
characters, password complexity not enabled.
I would like to allow members of the Domain Admins group to input at least 9
character passwords (enable complexity) and change passwords every 90 days.
The change password age is easy to script and force to change as often as I
wish.
I am wondering if there is any tool out there that allows me to enforce
stronger password requirements for selected groups ? (Password policy is
enforced at domain level, and I can't enforce stronger ones at this point). Tag: expat focus Tag: 60051

How can I check for software piracy?
I need to upgrade to Win XP Pro. Recently, I've run across several "Eastern
European Companies" who can sell me this program for around $50. They say
it's original and comes with a "unique registration code" (key code?) that
will enable activation. They say the progams are genuine, fully functional,
not demos or academic versions. But, they say these are OEMs, i.e. no box,
packaging or manual. They also say these products can't be registered with
Microsoft in order to get technical support and rebates. Am I treading on
dangerous waters here? Is this legit? Or can I make one of these programs
work for me? How can I know if these programs are pirated? Anybody out
there have an answer? Here's a url of just one of the companies I found:

Sp2 Firewall, also Homepage
Just checked firewall on cable connection after Sp2 install.
1) Under exceptions, remote assist is checked but I have not
enabled it in System Properties, nor did I enable it in firewall.
Is there some other meaning to this that it needs be on?
2) Under Advanced, Msmsgs is enabled for Tcp & Udp. I
disable Msn Messenger in Windows applications because
I think it may a source of malicious attack. I use Outlook
but without messenger activation.
Again, is there a reason for this being auto set?
Non firewall question: Does ones homepage mean anything
more than what one sees when activating Browser? I find that
msn.com for example is slow to fully load at times, so I tried
www.null.com which does nothing according to source code
and as proof, loads really fast.

How do I make a network user login a Local Administrator?
Attempting an install of software that requires Local
Administrator rights while logging onto the network.
O/S -- PC with Windows XP Professional, a server with
2003 Server, and myriad other servers in a domain...
I thought that when you create a Local Administrator user
on a workstation, with the same username and password as
on the domain, it would authenticate the user in the
domain, while allowing the Local Administrator
privileges. This doesn't appear to be the case.
Every time I log into the domain with the username and
password (which is the same username and password on the
PC (as a Local Administrator) as in the domain (I'm not
sure what rights/privileges are given)), I receive an
error during the install stating that I didn't have
sufficient rights. When I go into Local Users and
Groups, I am unable to change or add anything. If I log
out of the domain and into "this PC", I am able to alter
Local Users and Groups, but then I am not on the network
as an authenticated user...
How do I accomplish making the network user login a Local
Administrator on the PC? Tag: expat focus Tag: 60019

Updated FAQ available for MBSA 1.2.1
I wanted to alert everyone that a new version of the MBSA FAQ is now posted -
thanks to your feedback on the newsgroups!
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsaqa.mspx
New in the FAQ :
Q. What versions of MBSA are supported?
A. PSS only supports the latest version of MBSA which is currently 1.2.1. The
mssecure.xml file that MBSA uses to identify missing security updates is
different for MBSA 1.2+ than for earlier versions. As of April 20th, 2004, the
mssecure.xml file used by earlier versions is no longer being updated.
Therefore, scans performed with MBSA 1.1.1 or earlier versions will be
incomplete. Users running less than MBSA 1.2.1 will see a message notifying them
that 1.2.1 is available.
Q. Do I need to uninstall MBSA 1.2 before installing MBSA 1.2.1?
A. No, MBSA 1.2.1 will automatically uninstall any previous version of MBSA
before installing MBSA 1.2.1
Q. Does MBSA support 64-bit Windows?
A. No.
Q. What is the current version of MBSA? Why do I see conflicting version
numbering in the product?
A. The latest version of MBSA is version 1.2.1 - which is also referred to as
1.2.4013.0 on some screens. The 4013.0 refers to build versioning. The official
version number exists in the "About Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer" link.
If you are running MBSA 1.2 you will see a message that a new version 1.2.4013.0
is available.
Q. What settings are required for a successful remote scan of a Windows XP SP2
machine?
A. This is addressed in the "readme.html" file in the "Help" directory under the
"#firewall" section. If you require remote scanning of Windows XP Service Pack 2
machines, these conditions must be met :
. The Server service, Remote Registry service, and File & Print Sharing services
must be enabled.
. Remote machine scans are performed using TCP ports 139 and 445. In a
multi-domain environment, where a firewall or filtering router separates the two
networks, TCP ports 139 and 445 and UDP ports 137 and 138 must be open in order
for MBSA to connect and authenticate to the remote network being scanned. You
must allow these ports on the remote Windows Firewall.

XP SP2 and Active-X and Explorer
Call me stupid ("Hi, Stupid!") but after service pack 2, Explorer pops up
with an objection and dialog whenever I want to run something that uses
Active-X through the brower. (Zoomify, for example). I tried stifling the

NTFS Backups to External Hard Drive
I am running Windows XP Professional SP1. I recently

I am planning to reformat my PC and restore the files from

SpywareWarriors Vs. PrivacyToolsVendor
If you all don't read the Spyware Warrior forums, you are
really missing out on something that you have to see if
only for the entertaining yet surreal look of it (sort of
like a fatal highway crash).
There, a vendor of the allegedly rogue anti-spyware
app "Privacy Tools 2004" posted to defend his product and
ask for opinions on how he can fix the problems with it.
From there, it went downhill fast! The vendor ("Ash1ey")
went on to berate the posters there, actually threatened
to ADD spyware in the app that was supposedly suppose to
scan and remove it, and now threatens legal action! This
is too good to be missed!
This is a look into the mind of one of these people trying
to make a quick buck off unsuspecting consumers. It's a
must read!
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?
p=25034&highlight=#25034
(For those unfamiliar with Spyware Warrior,
http://www.netrn.net/spywareblog/ is a spyware blog and

the great guide to anti-spyware apps you should NOT get!) Tag: expat focus Tag: 59979
servers in russia?
I am not sure if i am posting to the correct newsgroup,
but here goes. When I start my computer and the firewall
is activated, my firewall ("zero-knowledge Freedom")is
programmed to ask me whether to accept or deny access to
my computer from outside servers that are ostensibly
related to various software programs. One of the programs
for which i receive a message is Windows Explorer. What
seems odd to me is that the IP address of the remote
server is alternatively in Russia and berlin germany.
Does Microsoft really host some of its stuff on servers
in Russia and germany. For Russia, the host name is
listed as 62.118.251.84 and the destination IP address
is : v20-u.valuehost.ru
For Berlin, the Host name is 141.45.186.7 and the
destination IP is: dozenten.f1.fhtw-berlin-de
Does this seem odd or am I getting paranoid?

attempting to access my system? Tag: expat focus Tag: 59977

CDs that execute code without asking
Hi,
The other day I took my 35mm film to a photography shop and asked for
a CD of my scanned photos along with negatives and prints.
When I put the CD in my PC, Windows XP immediately executed a FujiFilm
photo-viewing program on the CD without asking me.
I am no expert on security, but doesn't this break all the rules?
When you insert, say, an audio CD, Windows asks you what you want to
do with it. One of the choices is "Do Nothing". Microsoft have gone
to some lengths to educate people not to execute e-mail attachments.
So why is Windows running arbitrary code on a 3rd party CD without my
consent?
Unlike e-mail attachments, I'm reasonably confident it won't have a
virus. But still, running code can do anything. Did software get
installed? Even if the purpose is innocent (say, to make start-up
time faster next time), did it add/change registry settings?
Overwrite DLLs? This risks breaking something else on the PC. What
about spyware? "Bundled" commercial software like this is a high-risk
category for spyware, I'd think.
Anyway, the point is not whether this particular software is safe -
it's that I don't think Windows should have run it without asking me.
I want Windows to tell me the CD is trying to run software, and ask
if I agree. Then I can decide whether I trust the vendor. After all,
I asked for data, not software.
Is there any way to recongifure Windows to prevent it doing this? Is
this behaviour still the default in SP2?
Thanks,
James Tag: expat focus Tag: 59925

Listserv? Spam mailer? Listserv's take you off their list or there are

from their lists. Often they sell your name to others instead of
removing you.
