Re: Exmerge

[Gavin Wilby]

Now I know that besadmin works out of the box, and nearly all my sites
have BB Pro on them Ill just use then in future.
My main problem in the past was exactly as you say, that the inherited denys
on the store kept preventing what I was trying to do. I rather use a
seperate account than muck about with the default permissions on the mail
store if im honest.

Thanks for all the replies, for what must seem to be a dumb question ;)

 Heh, the use of the BES account is merely working as it has Send/Receive
 rights for the accounts in question.



 The answer to the mystery is:



 Mailbox Merge Wizard (ExMerge).doc Page 9 of 88:

 Important   Make sure that you log on with an account, such as Backup
 Operators, that has Receive As and Send As permissions on all the Exchange
 mailboxes.

 Hi Guys,



 I have a few Outlook accounts to import in the morning, its not many and I
 can quite easily do it *in* Outlook, but one thing that I have never
 mastered properly is Exmerge in 2003 server.



 I always log in as admin and therefor dont have the right access (the send
 as and recive as that you need) to the mailboxes that I need, and then the
 Exmerge always fails.



 Is there a definitive guide anywhere of how to set an account up so itll
 import the mail smoothly? I have the PST files already so I only need to
 bang them in. Its never been a big deal so I have never looked into it
 properly - so now I have the oppotunity id like to take it.



 Cheers,



 Gavin.

  CNET is pretty good and resonably independent / objective.
 
  This is their current list of antispyware products (many include AV)
  http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3688_7-6812013-1.html?tag=feat.1
 
  CounterSpy is their number one choice.  Defender is second, 'cuz it's
  free. However, Defender does not do very well in shoot-outs.
 
  But for an enterprise app, the most important thing is RESOURCES, (apart
  from catch rates obviously) Check which consumer products are taking how
  much. We are now working on the enterprise side of these products:
  http://www.vipreenterprise.com/Why-VIPRE-Enterprise/VIPRE-Stats.htm
 
  I would very much like you to try VIPRE enterprise and let the list know
  how this went:
  http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/
 
  Here is someone who did!
 
  Everything seems to be working great.  Installation was a breeze and as
  your marketing claims, I can't even notice it's running.
 
 
  We originally had Norton AV (years ago) and switched because of the
  incredible lag it created when installed. Then we switched to Computer
  Associates (CA) eTrust. Even that was too much for my manufacturing
  floor machines, and as those machines don't have access to the internet,
  I actually removed all AV from them.  Another thing I disliked about
  eTrust - the interface is done in Java and hardly ever worked right.
 
 
  Now that some of my manufacturing floor users have started needing
  internet email access, I've been itching to put AV back on, and VIPRE
  seems to be working great. I haven't gotten a single complaint yet that
  any of those systems are acting slow. I use to occasionally put our
  previous AV software on a few machines just to make sure no virus was
  running ramptant out there, and I'd immediately get feedback that
  certain machines were acting really slow.
 
 
  Anyways, great job on the new system!  Easy to install, easy to deploy,
  great interface, and almost no system performance hit. Plus a very
  reasonable price too! Thanks!  -- Ron

Pull Printing Solutions

[Gary]

I have been looking at pull printing solutions namely SafeCom to enable pull 
printing using pin
numbers from HP printers. Although the product is pretty good the cost 
associated with this is
deemed too high for the project and I have been tasked with finding a cheap 
alternative.

I have used some HP drivers that have job storage options (printer 
compatibility neccessary)
but I haven't found a way to make the job storage with pin mandatory for users.

An ADM is available to make the job storage mandatory but the pin would have to 
be set by sys
admin and one pin would cover a group of users instead of one per user (unless 
alot of policies
are set!) this would be an okay solution but I can't get it to work and there 
is no
domuentation available on the HP site for the adm (apparently it will be 
available in the
future, which doesn't help me!)

Has anyone got this working, or does anyone have any suggestions for any other 
solutions?
Preferably free :)

Thanks,
Gary

Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment 2007
Published: January 16, 2007

Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007 is the best-practice set of
comprehensive guidance and tools from Microsoft to optimally deploy
Windows Vista and the 2007 Office system.

 This looks like a system for initial deployment, but not an imager that
 would

 above doesn't say anything about support for XP or older systems, or any
 other
 installed software.  If that's true, it's pretty useless IMHO unless you
 only
 use Office 2007 on your Windows Vista box.

  As much of a PITA as it is to rebuild after infection, it really is the
 only
  way to ensure you still aren't compromised :(

 Agree, but if you can't PROVE your system is compromised you can't justify
 the
 high cost of a complete manual rebuild.  If it's a simple
 re-image-and-restore
 then you can justify it as a cheap precautionary measure.

Bummer... can't download this anymore - 

Note from Developer: 

The bottom line is that the company I worked for has asked me to remove the
tool from the web. I will not be developing the tool anymore and can not
support it. I have asked about the future of the tool and there is a good
chance that it will be re-branded under my former employer logo and will be
released to public (not sure whether as shareware or something you pay for).
The moment I have more details I will make sure to post an update about
CoreConfigurator whereabouts.

RE: GPO Based Software Deployment Targeting

[Benjamin Zachary - Lists]

For the record, I hate these companies that open new 'windows' of embedded
Acrobat stuff, where none of the other pdf readers seem to work. I see this
in financial and housing sites and it pains me to put Adobe Reader on their
pc, when the other readers are so much lighter and easier except for the IE
integration.

Yep-we have tons of software deployed via gpo set up using groups other than
authenticated users, all in the same policies.  The easiest way is to
create a group in AD and add the computers you want to have the application
to that group.  If you already have some installations you want to keep, you
need to replicate your AD and restart the pc so that their access tokens get
updated with the new group info (so the software doesn't uninstall on you
where you want to keep it).  Then, filter that deployed app by removing
authenticated users and add your group of computers.

 

The only place we use deny permissions is where we have conflicting
applications, but it also works well.  For example, we don't want Acrobat
Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.  So, we create groups for
both and then in addition to adding the allow for the group that needs it,
we deny the other one.  That way if a computer ends up in both groups by
mistake, they get no software rather than a messed up installation of both.

Is it wise/doable to edit the perms associated with an application instance
for one of many deployed apps in a GPO?

 

I want to prevent one app from being deployed on a few wkst's but don't want
to make another GPO.

 

Would that work to deny that package for say Special Group of computers?

BB and Car Finder

[Stefan Jafs]

I downloaded car Finder from mobile.blackberry.com

It installed correctly, however it 's giving me a java error: Uncaught
exception java.lang.IlligealArgumentException.

 

During install It's warning you that if you are on a BES you need to
check Applications Permission for Location ( GPS) and Interprocess
Communication are set to Allow. That could be my problem, however I
can't seem to find any of those setting on my BES 4.1 server, any ideas?

Upgrading on a GPO

[RichardMcClary]

OK, I took the instructions literally, and they don't work...

Our new machines got Firefox 2.x pushed out to them by GPO.  I found an 
MSI for Firefox 3.0.1 and set up a GPO for this.  In the settings, I told 
it that it upgraded another GPO package and pointed to the one which 
installed FF 2.

Firefox 3 is not being pushed out...

Should perhaps I just have whacked the Firefox 2 GPO and simply pushed out 
the Firefox 3 without bothering with the Upgrade?  Should I have set 
things for Upgrade AND deleted the FF 2 GPO?

Thanks!

 chance that it will be re-branded under my former employer logo and will be
 released to public (not sure whether as shareware or something you pay for).
 The moment I have more details I will make sure to post an update about

Google is your friend

Download Server Core CoreConfigurator. The developer removed the download 
temporarily. As long as nobody complains you can download it at 4sysops.

 Subject: Platinum For Windows...

 Anyone familiar with Platinum for Windows ver. 5.2?  Any version for that
 matter.  I think the last time I worked with Platinum it was like version
 3.x.  I seem to remember a tool I used to make easy backups of the
 databases, but that was Microsoft SQL based on NT 4.0.  This version uses
 Pervasive, and I can't find anything in the documentation on backup and
 restore procedures.  I find instructions on how to do a repair, but not a
 backup.

 Of course there isn't a support contract in place anymore.  The product is
 like 4 years old.  I could call Sage, but they'll want $225 just to tell me
 something that I think should be in the paper documentation. ..

RE: [OT] Friday moan

[RichardMcClary]

Add my moan...

A company is trouble-shooting a software problem we've reported.  They've 
asked us to run a test on a clean system first having only their software 
(as well as MS .NOT 3), then adding routine software until things break.

Having only one spare machine, I am now attempting to install Windows XP 
on this box and am on my third out-of-storage hard drive, second CD-ROM 
drive, third install media CD, second video display card...  You're just 
not supposed to get blue screen crashes during an install to a new 
partition!  (Meanwhile, getting ready to go pirate RAM from other machines 
for the next blue screen...)

Don't single out any stratum 1 hosts - much safer to use something
like pool.ntp.org - actually, using the country specific subdomain is
even better, if your country is listed. I use us.pool.ntp.org, for
instance. These round-robin the various clocks, so if one goes bad or

+1 for pool.ntp.org...  Cant beat the round-robin nature of it.

Unless you are an ISP, you shouldn't be using Stratum 1 servers
anyway.  Its easy to do, but it ain't propah.

Issue with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2007

[KC Carter]

Is there a fix for an issue with Outlook 2003 not being able to arrange
messages by subject and show in groups, once a mailbox has been moved
from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007?   I did not see this issues
addressed in the SP1 roll out.  Should I expect some issues while still
using Outlook 2003?

Re: Vista Antivirus 2008 malware removal

I'll second that.

I've recently added Malwarebytes to my arsenal, they are pretty good at 
removing these rouge anti virus packages.  These malware packages get there 
hooks in your system bd.

  Don't know if the Vista version is the same or not, but I just cleaned up XP 
Antivirus 2008 on a machine.  Nasty piece of crap to eradicate, though.

   

  Had to stop some weird file from auto-starting, manually delete a folder of 
the same name from C:\Program Files\ and used Malwarebytes to remove the 
Registry entries.  Then manually combed through the Registry and found a couple 
remains.

  Hey guys;

  I was called in to look over another tech's customer who had a system where 
they had (mostly) removed the Vista Antivirus 2008 fake AV malware.   The 
only issue still remaining was what we thought at first was a simple browser 
redirection issue - visting a huge number of security-related sites resulted in 
a 404.

  Well, it wasn't a BHO, and it wasn't a redirect, and it's not a HOSTS file.  
It's something screwed in the TCP/IP stack.  NSLOOKUP returns the proper DNS 
result for a site, but when you send any traffic to it at all - ping, let's say 
- it's redirected to localhost.  

  Anyone seen this before and fixed it by means other than burning down the 
system, which is what I'm going to recommend otherwise?

Re: Vista Antivirus 2008 malware removal

[James Kerr]

I think, though I am not sure, that the users are getting this crap through 
email. I even got one that was supposedly an MSNBC news alert that lead me to a 
site that was already down. No PC has been infected as of yet. I ran 
malwarebytes on a couple and they are clean.

Don't know if the Vista version is the same or not, but I just cleaned up 
XP Antivirus 2008 on a machine.  Nasty piece of crap to eradicate, though.

 

Had to stop some weird file from auto-starting, manually delete a folder of 
the same name from C:\Program Files\ and used Malwarebytes to remove the 
Registry entries.  Then manually combed through the Registry and found a couple 
remains.

Hey guys;

I was called in to look over another tech's customer who had a system where 
they had (mostly) removed the Vista Antivirus 2008 fake AV malware.   The 
only issue still remaining was what we thought at first was a simple browser 
redirection issue - visting a huge number of security-related sites resulted in 
a 404.

Well, it wasn't a BHO, and it wasn't a redirect, and it's not a HOSTS file. 
 It's something screwed in the TCP/IP stack.  NSLOOKUP returns the proper DNS 
result for a site, but when you send any traffic to it at all - ping, let's say 
- it's redirected to localhost.  

Anyone seen this before and fixed it by means other than burning down the 
system, which is what I'm going to recommend otherwise?

Re: MP3, WMA and other media files

[Phil Brutsche]

Directly *on* the work machines?

No rules specifically against it. Sometimes we prefer it that way.

HOWEVER, we have our My Documents folder redirected to a network share,
and sometimes people put them there, with the following caveats in mind:

If they have a quota, and they're out of quota space, the media files
(MP3s, WMAs, AACs, WMV, etc) are the first to go. Same goes for disk
images (ie ISOs).

If they don't have a quota, and the file server is running out of
storage, the media files are the first to go. Ditto with disk images.

We have explicitly excluded the above mentioned media file types from
our backups. Ditto with disk images. The only exception is *I* have a
share on our file server for ISOs - I back up all my OS and application
install media there.

I'm sure a lot of you find the 2003 R2 and 2008 FSRM (File Server
Resource Manager) REALLY useful ;)

Re: Vista Antivirus 2008 malware removal

[Jonathan Link]

I had a client who was infested with this, I installed Vipre.  Vipre
appeared to have removed it, but must've left enough behind to call home.
We restarted the computer, and I had an odd blue screen, at the time, it
flashed by too quickly but it was similar to the check disk screen, but
stated something to the effect that antivirus software was updating.  I
noticed it too late to yank the network cable, and by the time we logged in,
AV 2008 was back, and was undetectable by Vipre.  I had to resort to a
manual removal with some support from Malware bytes.  This thing is
pernicious.

Don't consider what I am going to say as OT. I noticed that Symantec
,every day, with new definitions detected submit to us tenth or hundreds
of old malware modified definitions. This authorize me to think that
other vendors do the same .
Conclusion: every day you don't know if your product will detect a
malware because may be it is changhed and need modified definitions to
be detected.

updating.  I noticed it too late to yank the network cable, and by the
time we logged in, AV 2008 was back, and was undetectable by Vipre.  I
had to resort to a manual removal with some support from Malware bytes.
This thing is pernicious.

I think, though I am not sure, that the users are getting this crap
through email. I even got one that was supposedly an MSNBC news alert
that lead me to a site that was already down. No PC has been infected as
of yet. I ran malwarebytes on a couple and they are clean.

I'll second that.
 
I've recently added Malwarebytes to my arsenal, they are pretty good at
removing these rouge anti virus packages.  These malware packages get
there hooks in your system bd.

Malwarebytes program seemed to help out the person who call me last
night about this. He said it's off his computer now.

Don't know if the Vista version is the same or not, but I just cleaned
up XP Antivirus 2008 on a machine.  Nasty piece of crap to eradicate,
though.

 

Had to stop some weird file from auto-starting, manually delete a folder
of the same name from C:\Program Files\ and used Malwarebytes to remove
the Registry entries.  Then manually combed through the Registry and
found a couple remains.

Hey guys;

I was called in to look over another tech's customer who had a system
where they had (mostly) removed the Vista Antivirus 2008 fake AV
malware.   The only issue still remaining was what we thought at first
was a simple browser redirection issue - visting a huge number of
security-related sites resulted in a 404.

Well, it wasn't a BHO, and it wasn't a redirect, and it's not a HOSTS
file.  It's something screwed in the TCP/IP stack.  NSLOOKUP returns the
proper DNS result for a site, but when you send any traffic to it at all
- ping, let's say - it's redirected to localhost.  

Anyone seen this before and fixed it by means other than burning down
the system, which is what I'm going to recommend otherwise?
