Thanks for all the info chaps. I think that with some changes to the email policies and a bit of reporting, as well as some time spent looking at WRM (they are currently running Office 2003 so won't be any use till they upgrade) then I think we will easily satisfy the requirements of local law.

do i have a virus?
Hi, Two days ago our printers disappeared from our windows xp machine. After trying to add them again, we got an error that we couldn't run because printer spooler is not running. When I went to start the printer spooler, I got an error saying that it couldn't be run (error 1804). After googling a bit, some people said that we could have viruses on the machine. We have symantec installed, and after scanning we got some viruses that were quarantined. We tried to uninstall Symantec and install McAfee but now we get an error saying that the windows installer cannot be run. Microsoft recommends reregister the windows installer (which we have done) and if it doesn't work, rename dlls and the windows installer and install it again. Since I don't trust very much this reinstall of the windows installer as a solution, anyone can give me any hint of what might be happening or we should check beforehand? Thanks in advance Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Re: do i have a virus?
Having spent days fiddling with a machine to fix a problem that I knew was going to require a format and re-install, I second the recommendation that you just scrub it and re-install. If it has any personal information on it, including credit cards or bank info, all the more reason to do it. Check out diescum if you wish to continue to fool with the machine, but you are very likely to be just fooling yourself that you can fix it.

RE: do i have a virus?
What has happened, as you've already reported, there were several Trojans on the computer. Your symptoms aren't consistent with trouble reported from installing Windows updates. They are consistent with being infected. No matter how many antivirus programs you run, there's a chance you'll still be infected by something not detected. Follow the advice already given, boot an installation CD and format the system partition. That will help avoid the problem spreading to other computers. And make sure all other computers are up to date for Windows Updates and 3rd party software updates (run the Secunia online inspector).

RE: OpenOffice
We did try it in the past and I was very disappointed in document conversion. Much of the Formatting was Mangled on both Word and Excel documents. Some Documents that were sent to us from outside sources were not readable at all with Openoffice. Our office uses some Linked spreadsheets and we never did get that issue resolved.Again it has been a couple of years since I tried it but that is what I found then. We also had issues with it and our power users. You know the ones that have 20+ spreadsheets open at once and then start opening multiple word documents. Not to say we do not still have issues with Office doing the same thing, just less of them. -Original Message- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 11:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: OpenOffice I have no problem finding stacks of positive information about OpenOffice; I'm not interested in more of that.

Re: OT: OpenOffice
We just a new person that I could ask but I know he hates Open Office. I believe he referenced to me as Broken Office. I am not sure why but I could ask for details. I believe it had something to do with conversions not working right and having to put add-on software on the machine that made some things work but messed up other things.

RE: OpenOffice
I've been less than impressed with OO as well. I am currently using it because I'm too cheap to spring for Office for my personal use. It's horribly slow to open for me, and though things look ok on the screen, it prints poorly 90% of the time to various prints. When it prints, the spacing is messed up. My last sentence, for instance, might print like this: W hen itpri nts, th espa cing I smes sed up. For my purposes, it's good enough. I wouldn't use it for anything I was going to print out and distribute. -Original Message- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 12:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OpenOffice We did try it in the past and I was very disappointed in document conversion.

Re: OT: OpenOffice
Third-party plugins. A free office suite is worthless if it can't interoperate with other applications you have in your environment. 99.9% of all applications that integrate with an office suite won't work with anything but a recent MS Office. Clipart. In the schools I've where attempted to deploy OpenOffice I had to pull it out in short order due to the lack of available clip art. Centralised configuration mechanisms aren't built-in. If you need to force a particular setting (say, use MS Office file formats by default) and the third-party stuff isn't an option (see below) you're SOL. That's a biggie in my book. Granted, there's third-party stuff for that (http://openofficetechnology.com/), but that's yet another program to pay for and maintain.

Re: do i have a virus?
As several others have pointed out, you are going to waste a great deal of time going around in ever diminishing circles. I understand the need to find the cause/source of the malware but set yourself a time limit to clean the system and stick to it. If you don't succeed, wipe the disk. If you do find the infection causing the problem and subsequently understand the infection vector, still wipe the disk. Before you reach your limit, try a different approach. Much malware is loaded using rootkit techniques and is resistant to common anti-virus detection. Try this program; it has saved me many hours of frustration: http://greatis.com/unhackme/download.htm or direct download: http://www.greatissoftware.com/unhackme.zip -Original Message- From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 11:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: do i have a virus?

Two days ago our printers disappeared from our windows xp machine. After trying to add them again, we got an error that we couldn't run because printer spooler is not running. When I went to start the printer spooler, I got an error saying that it couldn't be run (error 1804). After googling a bit, some people said that we could have viruses on the machine. We have symantec installed, and after scanning we got some viruses that were quarantined. We tried to uninstall Symantec and install McAfee but now we get an error saying that the windows installer cannot be run. Microsoft recommends reregister the windows installer (which we have done) and if it doesn't work, rename dlls and the windows installer and install it again. Since I don't trust very much this reinstall of the windows installer as a solution, anyone can give me any hint of what might be happening or we should check beforehand?

Re: OT: OpenOffice
First, make sure you get the latest version. Second, test a couple of your most complex spreadsheets, and also a couple of your largest Word docs, especially with complex formatting. If you can convert those back and forth with no issues, or at with tolerably well (for your organization), and they display and function at the level you need, then go for it. OO.o 3 is now out, and worth a looksee. We install V2.x on many machines here, but the documents those people deal with are usually quite simple. I haven't yet had time to evaluate V3, but expect that some of the issues we encountered with complex formatting, etc., will be resolved - just probably not *all* of them.

We are using Quest Migration Manager. It has a few quirks, but moving users and machines is easy and reliable once set up. We had a few thousand users and workstations to move between domains and that went very smoothly. We are still moving servers as anything that has dependencies can cause havoc when moved. Finding all the FQDNs and references to IP addresses (we are renumbering too!) is a royal pain.

RE: SBS 2008 yet ?
I have a SBS 2008 running fine in a VM with 4gb of RAM. Although the SBS community are stating 8gb should be the minimum. It will not even install unless there is 60gb of hard disk space available. I am also running E2007 at home in much less than 8gb of RAM, although things get a little slow if you are using UM. Both RAM and disk space are cheap. I had to replace two disks in a SAT array last week. UK£45 each for two 500gb drives. Put it in to the free Hyper-V Server then when you can get a better machine or a dedicated system just move it around. It is something I am seriously considering doing when I start my SBS 2008 deployments.

Re: OT: OpenOffice
I would love to see the link for that. It is most definitely NOT in the 2.4.x releases. Keep in mind that deploying it through GPO is trivially easy - the .exe you download from the web site is a self-extracting executable containing a standard MSI. You just need to create an administrative install point first. It's not the software deployment that's the problem, it's the centralized configuration that doesn't exist (except through the third-party add-in I mentioned).

RE: NOD32 - VIPRE
There is nothing wrong with ESET, other than their management and deployment config is horrible, terrible documentation and service is not the most responsive. The product however is good, no bones there at all. Vipre is just as good or better with superior support and a forum that is always on and full of knowledgeable people..not to mention the company (Who hosts this forum)closely monitors it.

RE: NOD32 - VIPRE
IMO only, ESET has really gone downhill in the last year. I too, was a huge ESET fan, however, support tanked, the response times got unbearable (hours turned into days), the new version sucked donkey balls and I was never a fan of the console. For me, VIPRE was a no brainer mainly on price and an additional point of consolidation; i.e., migrating from NOD32 + CSE to VIPRE. NOD32 is a decent product as (someone check me on this) they are the oldest player in this space. The time was just right for me and I was able to sign a three year deal with the Clearwater crew for less than a FREAKIN' RENEWAL of NOD32. ESET was the stuff 18 months ago but I think they got lazy.
