    - Local Service, winreg, remote registry Regarding the problem of having to add Local Service to have read permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg in what specific situations does the problem occur? Is the problem only caused by upgrades from Win2K to WinXP? Specifically which upgrades will lead to this problem? With solutions, are there any Microsoft updates, hotfixes, service packs? Or must administrators add the permissions manually? Can Microsoft release a Knowledgebase Article on this issue, listing all the cases that the problem can occur, and the corresponding solution to each case? Thank you.

Latley we've been having alot of problems with worms, viurses, spyware .... over the network. So i am looking into how to make our network more secured. We already have Norton antivirus and ZoneAlarm pro installed on all the pcs. These are The steps that i am looking into do (possibly) to do so. Please tell me your openion and any guides onn these steps. 1- Installing a AD 2- Installing a server based firewall between the internet ann internal network. Im thinking of ISA if its up to the job. 3- Having a netweork based Antivirus. I was thinking of Norton Antivirus cop.. BUt as i read on your article norton is not a very good chooice. I am looking for some thing i could easily centrlize and automate and download update onto server so i dont have to goto every computer. 4- Making WS to run some applications automatically when they boot,from server so i dont have to install it on every WS (i still dont know how to do this, any help? applications such as firewall, spyremovers and other possible needed software. p.s. any sites that have usful info about this subject?

    - Oodles of 529 Logon Failures every 2:00 AM Hello, My Windows 2000 domain is getting an error every night at 2AM because it can't lock out the Administrator account. Yes, exactly; "why is it being told to lock out in the first place?" I don't think we're under attack because it is every night at the same time and because I have found some information which may shed some light on it. It seems that at 2:00 AM some process happens that all of the local administrator accounts on the servers get a failed login to their local machine. The domain registers these logon failures I suppose because the machine itself is a member of the domain. The really weird thing is that the "logon type" shows as type 3, network. How can a local account have a network logon to its own machine? More wierdness, wherever the local admin account of the server has been changed, _that_ name shows up with the failed 529. The domain name is _always_ the name of the local server, the AD domain is not referenced even once in all 200 of the 529's. Something... is causing these failed local admin logins to happen every night at 2AM on servers. I think that's why the domain admin account is receiving a call to get locked out is; because the domain is confusing the local admin accounts with the domain admin account, and thinking that _it_ is the culprit. The first thing we're going to do is rename the domain admin account (yes I know I should have done this a long time ago, but there are services, scheduled tasks, etc. running under that name that I have to track down and remediate before I change it). The next thing I will do is I will check with our server team about nightly processes/tasks that may be occurring at 2AM, but I wonder if there is something in the undulations of AD itself that is triggering this, such as a master browser election. If anyone can shed any light or has experienced something similar, I am open to any advice you could give. Thanks a bunch!! Tag: userinit.exe application failure Tag: 60178

    - vulnerability in OL2000-03 http://secunia.com/advisories/12041 Someone in Russia is trying to take advantage of this. I received an HTML email with header forged to appear to be from a known source. No malicious attachments. The HTML included this element: <object data="http://www.%76%69kord.com/default.htm"> Unobfuscated, the URL is www.vikord.com/default.htm, a Russian domain. The web page tries to run an active-x control. IF I had forwarded the message to the forged recipient to show them their address was being spoofed and IF I were using MS-WORD as email editor, the active-x control would purportedly have run without warning and my system would probably be infected with something. Is MS working to fix this issue? Does anyone know how to find out what a malevolent web page is trying do without getting whacked? Since the orginating IP of the email is in the USA, I suspect it is a trojan purveyor. nf Tag: userinit.exe application failure Tag: 60177

    - W32\Agent.As Virus I have this virus...and I have ran nortons as well as my telus anti-virus scan and both have found some and have deleted them but both are unable to disinfect or delete this one. It tells me to manually delete this file but when I try to do so it says that it is write protected or in use and wont let me. Is there anyway of changing the settings on this file so i can delete ? I am on windows xp. The complete address to this virus is....C:\Windows\system32\ntgz exe. but from what i understand this virus sends out new files that are corrupted and my scan does find these and deletes them... but I think it all starts with this one file.

    - HELP SP2 issues, i think I've installed SP2 and now I get an error message when attemping live update with Norton antivirus. This is the error message LU1803:Live update failed while getting your updates. Live update had an internal error while getting your updates. Your Symantec programs were not updated. You should try getting updates at a later time. If live updates fails again with this error, you should reinstall live updates. Should live updates be reinstalled, or is there a setting that just needs to be changed due to the loading of SP2? I've tried getting in touch with Symantec, but that is next to impossible. Thanks!! Judy If I need to reinstall, Do I have to uninstall the whole Norton antivirus/internet security program and then reinstall? Thank you for your help.

    - vpn problems I use Cisco vpn to connect to a secure site. Using XP this worked fine for several months. I have Sygate personal firewall installed as well. Yesterday I installed the XP SP2 and everytime I now try to use the vpn connection (on entering name/password) the screen goes black and the computer re-boots. In re- booting there is automatically a "disc check for consistency" and a number of *.pf files (what are these?) are "not valid". The message indicates that these are "fixed" by copying old files!! One of these is called vpngui.pf, which seems sort of relevant. Any suggestiomns would be appreciated. I have tried turning off the Windows XP firewall (which appeaerd with the XP SP2) but this makes no difference to the propblem. Peter. Tag: userinit.exe application failure Tag: 60107

    - Map network dive- resource error When I try to map a network drive to my notebook, I get the error "[Network name] not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource." I am able to map the drive to another computer on my network so I assume the server is configured properly. (It's not configured as a server, I just use it that way - it's a peer to peer network) The notebook communicates through an internet gateway with no problems. When I look under My Network Places (In Windows Explorer) it shows the network by name but no computers, printers, or folders. If I click on the network name, I get the error as cited above. The only user on any machine is me so I have (I think) total administrator authority. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    - Firefox vs IE (restricted sites) I'm contemplating the switch from IE to Firefox. I like Firefox's pop-up blocking, low memory usage compared to IE, etc. One thing that is stopping me is the fact that Firefox doesn't have something like a Restricted Sites zone like IE does. I like the Restricted Sites zone in IE because it's a long list of sites I've compiled so that these sites will not be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets, scripting, unwanted pop-ups, auto-installing of unwanted programs like spyware, etc. I'm apprehensive to use Firefox because of this, although I know I can disable certain things in Firefox (like Java, and ActiveX isn't even supported). Am I being too paranoid here or is there something Firefox gives in return for the loss of my cherished list of restricted sites? Tag: userinit.exe application failure Tag: 60093

    - Pop-up Stopper Free Edition Sounds I have Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition (by Panicware). So far, so good, it's working! I only have one problem: when logged in as a user, the sounds that you can choose from (Properties>Pop-up notification) aren't there. However, if I'm logged in as Administrator, the sounds are there. I have gone in to check permissions and it seems I shoul be able to have the sounds under my user account (it shows as "read" in the Properties of the Panicware folder so I don't know why it's not allowing me to use sounds unless I'm logged in as Administrator).

    - 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?

    - 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...

    - 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. -- Mike Chan Technical Product Manager (MBSA) Security Business Unit Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. -- Tag: userinit.exe application failure Tag: 60007
