Re: caching server
On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 12:23 AM, Benjamin Zachary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: User based reporting [in Squid] is news to me... Well, Squid itself doesn't do reporting at all. It just does logging; other tools read the logs and generate reports. (Modular designs like that are common in the *nix world.) But if you configure Squid to require proxy authentication, it will log the username with each requested object. Webalizer will generates stats based on the user name logged. All that has been there for... well, quite some time. :) To have Squid require proxy auth, one just adds something like this to the config file: acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access deny !authenticated Somewhat more complicated is configuring Squid to authenticate against Active Directory, instead of using its own user database. That's newer, within the past six years or so, I think. The actual Squid config directive I use comes right from the documentation: auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp That just passes NTLM authentication off to Samba. (Samba is the suite of software which lets a *nix box speak Windows protocols to a Windows box.) I had to configure Samba to be a domain member and join it to the domain. It's well documented, but Samba has so many different capabilities and features that figuring out which scenario applied to our environment took a little study. It basically came down to putting the following directives in my Samba config file: security = ads workgroup = FOODOM realm = inside.example.com and then running the Samba command: net ads join -U Administrator Then I had to start the winbind service (which provides Windows name and authentication services for *nix programs), and adding the Squid process group to the list of accounts which can query winbind directly (needed to let NTLM HTTP pass-through work), with the command: setfacl -m g:squid:rx /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged I expect this all seems rather forigein to people used to the Windows world, but it felt perfectly normal to me; I grew up on MS-DOS and have been using Linix since 1995 or so. I will say this in favor of text-based configuration: It is easier to copy-and-paste commands and config file directives than it is to write out a series of Click this, then that, then the other thing instructions. :) I did read up on the latest version and see it supports radius/ldap lookups which I figure will work with AD. Yah, that would probably work, too. I went the Samba route because it lets the Linux servers function as regular domain members, complete with user authentication for the rest of *nix, too. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

RE: Stop WSUS updates
David, Just to clarify your network traffic on the internal LAN is too high and you think its WSUS? Doesn't WSUS use BITS for all transfers and only makes use of available bandwidth? Plus on a local LAN is this really a problem (assuming at least 100 base hardware)? I would explore a bit more and see if you can track down some specifics. Are multiple machines connecting to the WSUS server and transferring content? Are they connecting and just stalling? Are they connecting at all or just trying like crazy? -troy From: David W.

RE: Stop WSUS updates
Drop to a cmd on your WSUS server. Run Netstat -an And see what it's still connected to/what is connected to it. I've had trouble with our chained WSUS servers still downloading before with just WWW and Update services stopped. IIRC, I think you also have to stop BITS on the server, and some services might restart if they are not set to disabled. -Bonnie From: David W.

RE: Stop WSUS updates
David, so I'm following this thread and the recommendations are straight forward, do you see the following services running on the wsus servers: W3wp (how many instances) Wsusservice On the client do you see the wuauclt spawned from service? I would use pslist -t -s \\servername file:///\\servername to check all spawned services As for the BITS running services, to see the bits, try using the bitsadmin tool to see if there are any jobs still running. If you have the bitsadmin tool use the /cancel job switch. As everyone stated, once the service is down, there should not be any client connections requesting data, look at the logs on the client and the server end to verify there is no communication.

(An unexpected network error occurred. ). Group Policy processing aborted. We were getting this on a bunch of new servers, all running Win2003 R2 64bit. It's also showing up on a number of XP machines. Finally decided to just open a ticket with MS. The problem is apparently a slow link detection, which is of course abundantly obvious from the errors. Per MS, we did the following reghacks: Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System Value name: GroupPolicyMinTransferRate Value type: DWORD Value Data: 0 Registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System Value name: GroupPolicyMinTransferRate Value type: DWORD Value Data: 0 Note: if the System key doesn't exist, please create it under HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows first. From the MS tech support rep: It is possible that certain firewall program (such as Windows Firewall) is installed on all your machines and configured to block the normal ICMP packets. Sometimes it may be also caused by some models of CPU. For example, there is a known bug with AMD Opteron Processor driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16, which allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need. The slow link detection depends on the CPU clock to calculate the speed. However, it may fail when working along with AMD Opteron driver. Recently we have received many reports that this known bug in the AMD CPU driver often causes the group policy detection failure. AMD has provided a new version of driver to solve such similar problems. You can get this point from: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9033,00.html; We've done the reghack, not updated the drivers as yet. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

More DST on XP
So, we have some XP machines that have just been imaged (with RIS, actually WDS in mixed mode) this week that are having time issues. They will come up an hour off, and if you look at the time settings everything looks right, except it says Standard time instead of Daylight time. You can uncheck the automatically adjust... setting, apply, recheck, apply, and the time will fix itself magically. What's interesting is that the DST patch has been rolled into this image (long ago) by our Desktop admin, and so far, other models of computers installed this week from the same image do NOT necessarily have the problem-we've only tested a few so far though. These are Dell Optiplex 740s, and 740s that were imaged prior to this week appear to have updated their time correctly.

WPAD is basically just a standard that says, Look for a proxy config script called http://wpad/wpad.dat and use it if you find it. Then set your roaming users to do proxy auto-detection, and problem solved. So, create a DNS alias (CNAME) called wpad in whatever DNS zone your LAN hands out as the default parent domain name. For example, if your LAN uses corp.example.com, you would want wpad.corp.example.com. Make the target of the CNAME whatever the name of the web server holding your PAC script is. Then, on the web server, create a redirection/alias/whatever named /wpad.dat that points to your PAC script. For example, on my network, http://wpad/wpad.dat; ends up redirecting to http://foogate/proxy.pac;. If you're using IIS, I believe what you do is create a Virtual Directory object called wpad.dat, and set the content to be a Redirection URL, but I don't use IIS much and I'm not near a Win server right now.

RE: Windows Auditing... What do you audit?
I typically set my logs at 32megs on the server for everything. Turn on auditing for logon events, and file access success/failure. I think there was one or two more but that's it for the most part. Trying to sift through logs can be painful at best. If you are looking for particular items at a particular time its not too bad, but the noise level is usually pretty high. If you want general overall knowledge, and maybe some decent reporting over time you definitely will want to get some kind of log viewer app to centralize it and parse the data. _ From: Matthew W.

RE: Windows Auditing... What do you audit?
I second the windows 2003 security guide as giving you a good baseline for security auditing. Here are some other good links: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/5658fae8-985f-48c c-b1bf-bd47dc2109161033.mspx?pf=true http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Windows-Active-Directory-Auditing .html http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/serversecurity/tcg/tc gch03n.mspx As Z said, what you audit for depends on your needs, but these should be some good resources to help you determine what you want to do. On top of that, if you can swing it, I would highly recommend a centralized log management solution, free or otherwise, to collect your event logs into one location. Makes it much easier for analysis and correlation.

What do you audit? Subject: RE: Windows Auditing... What do you audit? Importance: High Depends on what you need to audit, for compliance or otherwise. Usually a good rule of thumb is the following: 1)Account Login ( Success and Failure) ( The downsize is that the noise from the success audits is going to fill the audit log quick if you don't have a way to archive it. ) ( also can use auditusr to only audit certain users reguardless of success auditing being turned on. ( Win2k3 only) 2) Account Management ( success and failure) ( domain accounts and local accounts if you are using them) 3) Audit Directory Service access ( success and failure) 4) Login access (Failure) ( Might want to do both success and failure at server level, again you are going to get a lot of audit entries with success turned on) 5) Audit policy change ( success and failure) 6) Audit Privilege Use ( Failure only) (If you turn on success your audit log with basically fill up and quick) 7) Audit Process tracking ( None) ( Failure if you really want to see information about processes, buty it will fill up quicker if you turn it on and definitely success will overflow it) 8) Audit System Events ( Success and Failure) Also look into Windows 2003 Security Guide they have good guidelines about baseline auditing.

Server build recommendations
Hi Folks, In the coming year we will be moving from file and print on Netware to file and print on Windows 2008 servers. I have several small sites, smaller than 20 persons, and would like advice on if I really need a server for DC and another server for file and print. I know MS best practices recommend separate hardware, but management wants to know why, especially in small sites with low network/computer usage anyway. This is not an issue at our larger sites where DC, file and print will be on different hardware. Comments, suggestions, horror stories welcome.

You can do it. There's nothing to stop you, but printers are flakey. Printer drivers even more so IMHO. Do you really want to run the risk of crashing a DC because of a printer driver?

RE: how to find out which service is locking down a user?
If I understand your question rightly, you want to find out which service is locking out a user account. Unless the services are specific to certain servers and you can cross-reference the lockout events (644) by server, then your job is going to be nigh on impossible. Which is why I run every application/service under a separate user account that denotes which service it is tied to. _ From: Boaz Galil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 March 2008 20:44 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: how to find out which service is locking down a user? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

Re: Migrate treo to iphone
Let's make this clear. There is no direct path to transfer data from a Treo to an iPhone. If you are using IMAP4, Exchange ActiveSync, Blackberry Enterprise Server or Good Messaging against Exchange or a similar, IMAP capable mail server, AND YOUR MAIL IS KEPT ON THE SERVER, then simply connecting the iPhone over IMAP will take care of the mail portion for you. If you are using the Treo as a POP client, you will probably need an intermediary that both the Treo and the iPhone can understand. Outlook _may_ work for this. And, since I'm feeling twitchy just now, you may want to consider some research before you hop onto a new tech wagon. As far as I know, outside of server based connections, there is really no way to directly transfer mail records _easily_ from one mobile device to another.

RE: Sharepoint migration/conslidation
Yes, I've been developing one under contract to a client. :-) I'll give you some HUGE hints, that I didn't have when I started: 1] PowerShell is MUCH easier to work in than cmd.exe (ok, I already knew this one) 2] Don't even TRY to do this without SPSiteManager (it's on CodePlex). It does at least 50% of the work for you. 3] Make sure that you setsitelock none before you release a contentdb, and 4] Make sure that you release a contentdb before attaching it to another WSS instance. 5] If prescan fails: Stop. Don't try to force an upgrade until you've fixed the problems. It shouldn't be called prescan, it should be called required-scan. 6] psexec makes this doable from a single server 7] you better know a little T-SQL if you want to automate the process. 8] Microsoft absolutely positively does NOT support any direct modification to either configdb or any contentdb. Now, I don't know your environment, but the one I'm working in right now is a killer. Every individual can only do small pieces of the puzzle, so I've had to break the processes up into teeny-tiny steps requiring different AUTH from different users for each relevant step.

Trying to debug a memory.dmp file
I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days with no luck. Customer has a server that reboots by itself. Sometimes it is several times a day and then it won't do it for a few days letting me think I have fixed the problem. Same error code 8E every time and almost the same hex values also. Server is 2003 Enterprise fully patched running as a Terminal Server. Server has been fine for several years. Nothing in the event logs other than the last reboot was unexpected. Events before the reboot show someone printed something but that entry is usually 5 minutes earlier. I have verified every driver is the latest for this Dell PE1600SC. Ran the Dell diagnostics with no faults found. Downloaded the latest debugging tools (ver. 6.8.0004.0) and the latest symbols from the Microsoft website. The SP2 symbols are installed to D:\Symbols, the 2003 CD files are installed to D:\2003CD. In windbg I tell it the symbols are in D:\Symbols, executable search path is D:\2003CD\I386. No matter what I try I get the same error message: Symbol file could not be found. Defaulted to export symbols for ntkrnlmp.exe. Then under Loading User Symbols it shows PEB is paged out. Under Bugcheck Analysis it tells me that the Kernel symbols are WRONG. Please fix symbols to do analysis. Then there are eight sections that tell me I am not using the correct symbols. In order for the command to work properly the symbol path must be pointing to the .pdb files that have full type information. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong as my searching so far sucks as I haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks.

IIS 6 Redirection
Anyone ever done iis redirection to a share on another server. If the share resides on the iis server itself it works a treat. if the share resides on another server it fails. acls on the shares and ntfs are the same but when i redirect to the other server i get multiple logon prompts and then a 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource. I seem to remember having a similar issue once before and cant remember ever solving it. Anyone have any ideas i would appreciate.

RE: IIS 6 Redirection
I did this years ago with IIS5. It required creating the IUSER account on the file server and getting the IIS password via a VBS file to put in that account, then using pass-through authentication. It was a pita to setup and I can't find the documentation on it anymore. The rub was that IIS changes its passwords on that account every so many days, so sometimes I would have an issue. Even after telling IIS not to manage the password. I'll bet Ken can answer this.

RE: Trying to debug a memory.dmp file
Hi, You can do this in WinDBG Alternatively, if you want to point it to the symbols in your folder then do: SRV*d:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols That way, WinDBG will use local symbols (if they are correct for the actual files used in the dump file), or download the symbols from the MS public symbol server if not. Then do .symfix and .reload to reload the currently used symbols.

RE: IIS 6 Redirection
What do you mean by redirect? Are you just trying to map a virtual directory on the IIS server to a UNC share on another server? If so, this is called UNC Pass Through Authentication http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/webapp/iis/remstorg.mspx and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/9b908f1e-8c17-4cc1-ac61-ffd0df854950.mspx?mfr=true should answer your questions. Or are you trying to actually redirect the user via a HTTP redirect status? If so, then that's not going to work.

backup exec question
Hello everyone, Is there any way to change backup exec 11d job start priority? Let's say if you schedule using the media rotation template they all start at 11 PM. Problem is we can change this is a big selection list which has multiple servers but we need to use separate selection list? My first guess was they start based on time and then if time conflict, alphabetically but no Also is there any way to have multiple backup jobs going to tape at the same time?
