    - MS05-025 for NT4 with IE6 SP1 Anyone know if there is a patch for IE6-SP1 in NT4 other than IE6.0sp1-KB883939-SMS-Deploy-KB899950-x86-ENU.EXE? This patch apparently runs properly however MBSA keeps alerting to the fact that the patch is missing... Can I conclude that in fact there is no way of patching NT4 in order to address MS05-025? Any help into this matter would be appreciated. Thanks JCO Tag: licensing Tag: 72826

    - Security problems using XP SP2 I've got a service running as Local System account that calls CreateProcessWithLogonW to run a script as a certain administrator account. Like so: STARTUPINFOW si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); CreateProcessWithLogonW( L"admin", // username NULL, // domain L"admin", // password 0, // logon flags NULL, // No application name (use command line) &command[0], // command line 0, // No creation flags. NULL, // Use parent's environment block. NULL, // Use parent's starting directory. &si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure. &pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure. ) This worked fine until Service Pack 2 was installed, now the call fails with 'Access is denied'. However, if i change the service to run as the same 'admin' account used in the Create.. call there is no problem. I'd rather not have to do this. Anyone else had similar problems and know of a better (proper) solution?? Thanks in advance Paul Tag: licensing Tag: 72821

    - Wallpaper Changed And Disabled Hi. This is my first time writing in here because I have never had anything this severe happen to me before. To begin I do have and always have had running Microsoft AntiSpyware and AVG AntiVirus. So it suprised me how this problem occured. Here's how it begins. I leave my computer on over night with active internet connection downloading the Battlefield 2 demo :) I wake up next morning to check the game out only to find my wallpaper has been changed to "System Stopped" and some annoying antispyware program that keeps popping up called "SpySherriff" that I never downloaded before in my life. The really mest up part is that when I try to change my wallpaper back to normal going under Display Properties and Desktop everything is all grayed out and I can't change or click anything. I ran virus checks and spyware checks with my programs. But found nothing! If you guys have any help to offer please please please let me know. Thanks. Tag: licensing Tag: 72797

    - How can you send 'malware' over port 443 to mywebserver ? Often I hear people saying that one of the benefits of an application layer firewall (let's say ISA 2004) is that SSL traffic can be unencrypted, scanned and then re-encrypted and sent to the respective webserver. My question is this: What's the mechanism that could allow somebody to send, let's say a virus or a malware over port 443 that could hurt my OWA server, for example ? Since people is retrieving data from such web server (that is now protected by ISA), I don't understand well the process that you could use to submit data over this SSL tunnel and hit the webserver that way.

    - Check if specific updates are installed Hello, Does some know some specific tool that can I check if 2 critical updates are installed on my workstations? How can I get this information from my OS? For example: I have to check if the patch MS05-0XX are installed in all my workstations (about 200 computers), I have the hostname of these computers. The idea is create some .bat file that can get each hostname and it do the checkup, it will generate a file that I can be able to import in MS Excel to generate the report. The OS installed on my computers are WIN2K and WINXP. Obs.: I don't have the SMS; MBSA check all patchs, I just want to check if 1 or 2 are installed.

    - On-demand video won't work for me From: Thomas L. Jones, Ph.D., Computer Science The subject of this complaint is an on-demand video located at: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/securityexperts.mspx#TechNet%20Webcasts You may have to take steps to work around a problem caused by the line break. I must say, it is difficult indeed to "demand" this video. I was already registered for Passport, but soon the software started asking me this, and asking me that. Finally, it asked me for my name, absolutely the last thing a program ever asks in a computer context. I mean, what is my name? Thomas Jones? Thomas L Jones? Thomas L. Jones? Dr. Thomas Jones, etc., etc. Then I was forced to change browsers. If the webcasts are Internet Explorer only, please say so at the top level. And get this: The videos are seemingly that d--- broadband only content, UNLABELED broadband only content. Finally, having tried for more than an hour, I gave up, cussing. Thomas L.

    - Firewall and Group Policy Hello: I currently have disabled MS firewall on LAN connections and enabled on Wireless and Dialup not allowing file and print sharing or remote desktop/assistance. For my users it is more important to keep them secure when not on our LAN which has a nice hardware firewall to protect them. I have been toying with the idea of enabling the firewall on XP machines and maybe 2003 servers through Group Policy allowing the exceptions necessary for me to remotely administer the services, update virus software, install patches, etc. My concern is Windows firewall does not allow exception for each individual connection, seems it is a one for all configuration. If you have Group Policy firewall connections will they also be applied when the user is not physically connected to the domain? Even if they sign onto domain using cached credentials? Needless to say it is more important to protect my laptops over unsupervised wireless and dialup connections than on our protected LAN. It would be a nice improvement to MS firewall to allow different exceptions for each connection. Thanks, Cindy Tag: licensing Tag: 72752

    - webserver + file&print sharing enabled In my organization we have a Win2003+IIS6.0 server with a website available on the Internet. Such webserver resides in the internal network. File & Print Sharing for MS Networks is enabled on this box. We have internal users that access this server via UNC path and update the website there by dumping content to the \\myserver\share-iis. Question is this, if I use a reverse proxy (ISA 2004) to publish such website that resides on this Win2003 server, do you consider it is alright leaving this box as is ? I mean, leave it with access via NetBIOS (F&P sharing) enabled so that people can use from the internal network ? Or it would be considerably more secure work setting up a staging server and leave this box only as a webserver ? Then put a tool on the Webserver that could upload content from the 'staging' server ? The point is here is this, do you think the fact I am publishing this via ISA 2004 (or any similar product) makes this secure enough to keep File & Print sharing turned on ? Tag: licensing Tag: 72699

    - "Reverse" proxy available. Any need to put web servers in DMZ ? This is the discussion here: I have ISA 2004 setup as a workgroup in the DMZ successfully publishing my OWA 2003. I have a web server (win2003, IIS6.0) that pulls data from a SQL 2000 db. Such web server is currently in the "internal" network. Web server requires no authentication. In my view it makes more sense keep such web server as is in the internal network and publish it via "ISA" to take advantages of HTTP filters and other things ISA offers. Instead, do you see any advantage security wise of moving such webserver to the DMZ instead ? That will require a whole in the firewall to allow traffic to the SQL db which resides in the internal network. If you can help, advise on pros and cons of placing such web server in the DMZ instead of keeping ISA->Web server(Internal). Tag: licensing Tag: 72688

    - Dicussion on where RADIUS server should be All network diagrams I've seen so far indicates that a RADIUS server (Windows IAS, ACS, or whatever) should be placed in the 'internal' network and establish communications with DC's there. Then if an external user attempts to connect via VPN (DMZ), then I would allow only the ports necessary from the VPN concentrator to the RADIUS server and pre-authenticate users at that point. I have a security guy fellow here that tells me that the RADIUS server should be placed in the "DMZ" instead. Does this make sense at all ? Tag: licensing Tag: 72681

    - Win32 security limitations: why? Hi, Trying to spawn a process from an impersonated client from within IIS-ASP I came across some (in my opinion) weird behaviour. 1) CreateProcess and ShellExecute both create the new process using the current process-token, yielding in a process running under the IWAM_xxx account. This happens even if the client was an anonymous user! I just don't understand this behaviour. Other operating systems I know will spawn the process from the *current* security context, so under the imporsonated client. Doing it on the MS-way enables anonymous users to create process with a higher security level. Thats a major security risk! Or not? Can someone put some light on it, or point me to more detailed information about why MS implemented security the way thay did? 2) Its even impossible with CreateProcessAsUser() to create the process under the imporsonated account because the SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege must be held (and by default nobody does...) 3) I also needed to load the user hive, so I tried LoadUserProfile(). Also this API needed a privilege: the SeRestorePrivilege. Since the imporsonated user is a "normal" user, it didn't held this privilege, so the account couldn't load its own profile! Why is that? I understand that loading another user's profile is a security risk, but loading your own profile is definitly not. I would like to understand more about the why's. Please help. Thanks a lot.

    - New MSSecure.XML Version 2005.06.14.0 Now Available MSSECURE.XML Data Version 2005.06.14.0 (for use by MBSA 1.2 and SMS SUS Feature Pack) was last modified today, June 14, 2005, and is now available for all supported languages (English, French, German and Japanese). Today's release contains 10 new bulletins, 7 of which are fully supported by MBSA. There are also 3 re-releases for previously released bulletins listed below: June Re-releases 1) MS02-035 (SQL Tool re-release) - there are no vulnerable files to identify, so there is no automated detection for this item. This will appear in MBSA as an MBSA Note Message as it did with the original release (see MS02-035 and KB306460 for details) 2) MS05-004 (ASP .Net re-release) - not supported by MBSA, but supported by February edition of the EST Tool. 3) MS05-019 (TCP re-release)- this patch replaces the original MS05-019 release. Only the patch in today's release is sufficient to resolve this vulnerability; neither the original patch nor the subsequent hot-fix are sufficient to resolve this issue. New June Bulletins 4) MS05-025 (IE Cumulative) - Supersedes MS05-020 for all matching instances (W2003 SP1 is not superseded). 5) MS05-026 (HTML Help) - Supersedes MS05-001, MS04-023 and MS03-044 in all cases; does NOT replace MS02-055 even though files appear similar due to an ACL change that is not present in future updates. 6) MS05-027 (SRV.SYS) - Supersedes MS03-024 for all instances; supersedes MS02-070 for WinXP SP1 instance only. 7) MS05-028 (Web Client) 8) MS05-029 (Exchange 5.5) - Support for all Exchange 5.5 SP4 instances except when Exchange OWA is configured as a standalone IIS application that links to an Exchange installation on another server. For this case, EST must be used (see below) 9) MS05-030 (Outlook Express) - not supported by MBSA. Supported by June EST tool (see below). 10) MS05-031 (MS Interactive Training) - not supported by MBSA. Supported by June EST tool (see below). 11) MS05-032 (MSAgent) 12) MS05-033 (Telnet) - Windows Telnet instances detected by MBSA. Services for UNIX instances of Telnet require June EST tool (see below) 13) MS05-034 (ISA Server 2000) - not supported by MBSA. Supported by June EST tool (see below). ---------------------------- There are a number of technical issues with today's release that may be valuable to enterprise administrators: MSXML 3.0 SP5 and SP7: For customers with MSXML 3.0 SP7 (present on Windows Server 2003 SP1 or installed with SQL Server 2000 SP4) or MSXML 3.0 SP5 - both are now considered acceptable versions for the 'latest service pack' warning in MBSA. This resolves a previous warning that reported "MSXML 3.0 SP7 is installed, SP5 is the latest available service pack for this product." MS05-012 (OLE) and KB894391: MBSA would report a 'greater than expected' warning if the post MS05-012 hot-fix was applied. This has been fixed. MS05-009 (WMP9) and KB892313: MBSA would report a 'greater than expected' warning if the post MS05-009 hot-fix was applied. This has been fixed. ---------------------------- What is the Enterprise Update Scanning Tool (EST)? As part of an ongoing commitment to provide detection tools for complex updates for bulletin-class issues that are not supported by MBSA, a stand-alone tool may be provided for certain bulletins. Microsoft will evaluate the detection and deployment complexity of each bulletin, and provide detection support based on the specifics of each release.

    - AD GetObject fails in ASP page when using smartcard logon Hi, I am having problems accessing Active Directory from VBscript in an ASP web application when it is configured for smartcards using Directory Service certificate mapping. The system scenario is as follows. Server 1 - W2K3 Server as Domain Controller with Active Directory Server 2 - W2K3 Server running IIS 6.0 and Exchange 2K3 Server Client 1 - W2K3 Server as client with CAC smartcard and IE 6 IIS is configured for Directory Service mapping, SSL, "Enable client certificate mapping" and Accept Client certificate. The client uses a CAC smartcard to logon and invokes a Web application on Server 2 via IE 6. Web app on Server 2 loads ASP page using VBScript to call GetObject("LDAP://CN=client1,CN=Users,DC=SERVER1,DC=COM") on User object to retrieve user attributes. GetObject fails with Err.Number = -2147016672 (0x80072020 - ERROR_DS_OPERATIONS_ERROR) In IIS Mgr properties for web app Virtual Directory, select Security/Edit and uncheck "Enable client certificate mapping". Now the user is prompted for username and password and GetObject succeeds. Does anybody have any ideas? PS I am told that if IIS cert mapping is used instead of DS mapping, it works OK. Thanks, MikeC Tag: licensing Tag: 72627

    - June Patches - where are they? it's 8am PST and nothing So, it's June 14th - where are the patches? Does MS release them at a certain time - like 10am PST or something? I'm very very eager to get them today, but I don't feel like sitting here at my browser clicking links and refreshing every 10 min in some hope they released them. Would be nice if there was a specific TIME to go along w/the specific day. Tag: licensing Tag: 72624
