TS user profile deleting after logoff

2008-09-29 Thread Erik Goldoff
OK back to same weird client site ...
 
have ONE user that logs onto terminal server, and gets new/blank desktop
profile.  Regardless of what she saves/sets, her 'documents and settings'
folder gets deleted when she logs out.  Not that she's lost rights to the
DS folder, as her data/changes are there for as long as she's logged
in...This doesn't happen to any other users.  (total of about 40 or so
users)
 
Anyone run across this before ?

wwwroot shared?! Concern?

2008-09-29 Thread Sam Cayze
During a scan/audit, I found a webserver in which my developer turned on
sharing for the wwwroot folder.
 
I remember reading that this was a big no-no, since permissions on that
folder should never be modified...  However, I can't find anything to
back up that claim right now.
 
Any arguments I can use to for justification to not allow this?
 
Tia,

Sam

Anyone know a more reliable way to purge all network printers in a vb script?

Setting up notifications for Dell Server failures

2008-09-29 Thread Jim Majorowicz
We have a customer with a Dell PowerEdge 1800 tower that has had a bad habit
of failing a particular SCSI drive.  This server has managed to kill 4
drives in slot 0:1 and one drive each in 0:2 and 0:4.  Dell has been great
with the warranty replacements, even went as far as to replace the entire
subsystem, but it didn't solve the problem.

 

I got Dell to agree to sell me an additional drive at cost to add to the
array as a spare.  (One of the failures included two drives over the
weekend, prompting a real emergency when the server went offline.) 

 

What I need help with is after I install and configure the array spare how
to notify myself or my office that a drive has failed?  Always before, we've
relied on the customer to notify us when buzzer alarm noise sounds.  It is
my understanding that after the spare is installed, the buzzer won't sound
until a second drive fails and there is no spare to take up the slack.

 

I need to be able to know when a drive fails so I can start the warranty
process with Dell hopefully before a second drive fails.

Haven't heard of it before but I can spot problems without using it.  I also
know the stove is hot without touching it.

They are not doing brick level backups (they specifically disclaim any
ability to do individual mailbox restores, which is what BLBs facilitate).
They're doing file backups, plain and simple.  Anything that relies on an
open file manager is not backing up Exchange the way Microsoft intended.

Could you restore one of their backups to a RSG?  I doubt it.

Get a backup product that is Exchange-aware.

Two Enterprise Root CA's

2008-09-29 Thread Devin Meade
We have two Enterprise Root CA's and need to remove one.  The one I want to
remove has only three computer certificates issued via an auto enrollment
Group Policy, for VPN.

After some googling, I see that I might be able to start the Cert Util on
the bad CA, navigate to Certification Templates, then delete all of them.
This should force the machines to renew them on the other root CA server.

I ran certutil per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/29 to find that I
have two of these.
Per http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-security/934673.htm and
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.security/browse_thread/thread/af6cb6614c34f88f/5414636b3d971257?hl=enlnk=stq=delete+%22enterprise+root+ca%22#5414636b3d971257
I
can delete all templates and let them expire.
This seems very heavy handed.  Is this a safe way to proceed?  This is an
Enterprise Root CA for a 2003 Active Directory.

I only have three certs to replace, I wonder if I can just revoke them
one-by-one while I have the laptops in my possession, stop the cert service
on the bad CA, then let the GPO issue a new computer cert on the good CA.
Then after the three certs are reissued, uninstall Cert Services from the
bad server (decomission it via http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250).

Subject: Setting up notifications for Dell Server failures

We have a customer with a Dell PowerEdge 1800 tower that has had a bad
habit of failing a particular SCSI drive.  This server has managed to
kill 4 drives in slot 0:1 and one drive each in 0:2 and 0:4.  Dell has
been great with the warranty replacements, even went as far as to
replace the entire subsystem, but it didn't solve the problem.

 

I got Dell to agree to sell me an additional drive at cost to add to the
array as a spare.  (One of the failures included two drives over the
weekend, prompting a real emergency when the server went offline.) 

 

What I need help with is after I install and configure the array spare
how to notify myself or my office that a drive has failed?  Always
before, we've relied on the customer to notify us when buzzer alarm
noise sounds.  It is my understanding that after the spare is installed,
the buzzer won't sound until a second drive fails and there is no spare
to take up the slack.

 

I need to be able to know when a drive fails so I can start the warranty
process with Dell hopefully before a second drive fails.

They won't do that.  I've tried that with them twice now.  Both times it's
We may do that the next time a drive fails, but replacing this drive solved
the problem, so you're good.

2008-09-29 Thread Marc Maiffret
It is nice to see some conversation around the topic of web security and
specifically SQL injection. I mentioned months ago now this is the most
critical security problem that most IT organizations currently face. Most of
you have already been hit with SQL injection and it is luck of the draw
whether your system is already compromised or not. Most organizations are
still relying simply on perimeter firewalls and host based anti-virus and
neither of these will protect you. I have done over 10 investigations of web
compromises, because of SQL injection, in which most companies had been
compromised for more than 6 months before *accidently* discovering the
compromise.

There are a few options:

* Send developers to secure coding courses and hope they retain the
information and will not make mistakes in the future.

* Buy a *web* specific vulnerability assessment scanner such as:
Retina Web Security Scanner

MORE than traditional VA tools
The DigiTrust Group

WhiteHat Security
http://www.whitehatsec.com/home/index.html

* Buy a WAF Web Application Firewall and find time to manage it yourself
Breach WebDefend
http://www.breach.com/
Imperva
http://www.imperva.com/

* WAF Web App Security Managed Security Services, have someone else manage
the hassle of keeping your site secure from attacks including SQL injection.
Notifications of not just blocked attacks and fine tuned configuration but
also any defects stemming from specific code failures so that your
developers can remediate and learn from the process.
http://www.digitrustgroup.com/managed.html#web

A few things that will NOT protect you from SQL injection:
* Using only traditional vulnerability assessment software
* Performing server configuration hardening
* Telling your admins to simply read SANS or OWASP
* Any of those lame site protected/site scanned by X type certifications,
most are only looking for known web vulns (which traditional vulnerability
assessment software will fine) however they do not find custom coded web sql
injection bugs.

 Hi chaps,
 
 Can anyone recommend a website checking service that will check
 websites on a regular basis for security issues and report back ? One
 of our clients suffered an SQL injection attack this week, and on their
 new rebuilt server they are keen to get some element of reporting as to
 when any possible issues may be presented to visitors, or to be made
 aware as to when flaws are found in the sites. The sites change
 regularly and multiple teams work on any one site so a site that was
 once tight-as-a-nut may, the next week, be made in-secure by the action
 of another team.

Have your organisation, if it's writing custom code, use an established, proven 
data access framework. If you're writing your own, then enforce some 
architectural standards that your developers have to follow.

I haven't seen many SQL injection bugs in, say, the native SqlClient and OleDb 
providers that Microsoft provides - so simply use parametised queries (even if 
you build them dynamically in ASP.NET).

 Notifications of not just blocked attacks and fine tuned configuration but

 A few things that will NOT protect you from SQL injection:
 * Using only traditional vulnerability assessment software
 * Performing server configuration hardening
 * Telling your admins to simply read SANS or OWASP
 * Any of those lame site protected/site scanned by X type certifications,
 most are only looking for known web vulns (which traditional vulnerability
 assessment software will fine) however they do not find custom coded web sql
 injection bugs.

  Subject: Website security checking service
 
  Hi chaps,
 
  Can anyone recommend a website checking service that will check
  websites on a regular basis for security issues and report back ? One
  of our clients suffered an SQL injection attack this week, and on their
  new rebuilt server they are keen to get some element of reporting as to
  when any possible issues may be presented to visitors, or to be made
  aware as to when flaws are found in the sites. The sites change
  regularly and multiple teams work on any one site so a site that was
  once tight-as-a-nut may, the next week, be made in-secure by the action
  of another team.
 
  Olly

I believe the list shorthand for that was OF, and one Jon Harris was
nominated Resident OF.

 I long ago went to permanently deleting messages from the list and if
I get
 too far behind I just delete everything but the last day or so and
start
 from there.

 I think I joined the list in late '98 or early '99 - but I may not
count
 as a regular since I don't spend more than a few minutes a day on
it...

 I probably signed up originally around 2000 or so ... and there are a
lot of
 days I just can't get to look at the list. At the moment, I have
something
 like 15K unread messages in my list folder

 I think I first joined in 98. Micheal E  Kurt were here then, don't
see
 too many other regulars from that time frame.

 I was 39 for the 5th time then :-)
