Internet Proxy settings - setting remotly.
Hi Guys, I have implemented a Web Marshall proxy at a small site of mine, Im not always there and so I need a tool that I can install on the server that will allow me to check that the proxy settings for IE have been set correctly. The settings are policied out, but due to the amount of traffic going across the proxy, Im not entirly sure that the settings have taken. So I need a little network tool that will connect to every machine on the LAN (about 30) and tell me what IE uses as a proxy.

Hi guys, Anyone got any recommendations for creating audit reports out of Windows 2003 security event logs?

New Drives for Proliant ML310 G2
I've got a customer that is using SBS 2003 Premium (Fully Patched) on a Proliant ML310 G2 with 80 GB SATA drives that is running out of space. The server is using non-hot plug drives with the onboard SATA controller in a RAID-1. This controller can only support 2 drives in this configuration, so I went to replace these drives with a pair of 250 GB drives and ran into a problem. I used Directory Services Restore Mode, and followed all the procedures in the Microsoft SBS Restore procedure. I even remembered to review the Report for short file name problems. However the damn thing still managed to blue screen on restart: PROCESS1_INITALIZATION_FAILED Stop 0x6B (0xC07A, 0xB, 0x0, 0x0) I figured it was something to do with that damn RAID controller, so I tried repairing the OS (Boot from CD, Install (not Recovery), Repair Existing) and made it worse. I seem to recall that this stupid controller would cause problems like this. What do I need to do to get around this problem?

403.6 - Forbidden
Hi all. I have an SBS 2003 server which a home worker is connecting to via VPN. When they attempt to access http://server/companyweb/default.aspx the 406.3 error is returned stating that the web site has a list of denied IP .Addresses etc I have killed that to allow all IP Addresses, and at the suggestion of one of the google hits I found enabled basic authentication on the site. Even after a reboot the 403.6 still comes up when accessing via the vpn tunnel. I noticed that the defaulo website has the ip address restrictions in place, but then sites like /exchange don't and the exchange site loads for this same user. I was, after a couple fruitless hours of googling for myself, hoping somebody can enlighten me as to what needs tweaking to get this working?

Ah, right ...sorry, obviously it would not be an Address... but rather a CNAME. Thanks However - if I want a SSL (for an online store for example) - I will need a static IP? Yes. If this is a shared hosting account, don't be surprised if you're expected to pay a monthly fee for a dedicated IP address. I'd ignore the advice and just use an A record. If they're moving IP addresses so often that you need to use a CNAME, find another host. One thing you can't do, if you want the non-www name to work for the web site, is use a CNAME: This is _not_ allowed: mydomain.com IN CNAME xyz.someothername.com www.mydomain.com IN CNAME xyz.someothername.com But this is: mydomain.com IN A 111.222.333.444 www.mydomain.com IN CNAME xyz.someothername.com There's not much reason to do this.

RE: changing anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware
You can use the Symantec Clean wipe utility on PCs that removes anything SAV on a PC/server. I wrote a basic script which looks for SAV and does a silent removal then installs VIPRE (our new AV of choice). I have it look for several versions of 10.x and one older version of 9.x that we used several years ago. 9.x cannot be removed silently in that there is a prompt somewhere that must be answered and cannot be suppressed. I just told the script to say OK when that comes up.
