Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
Chaps, The update that was sent out last night, has that caused any issues elsewhere? We've had a spate of calls from users about problems today, several servers which were set to auto-update for various reasons have had varying levels of failure. It's mentally busy here for a Friday, and the one thing they have in common is that all the machine rebooted for an update last night. Is it just us ?

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
Unfortunately, servers have problems when they reboot sometimes. I doubt that it is the patch itself. I've not seen issues at any of my clients... Regards, Michael B.

Re: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
I find a lot of potential problems don't manifest themselves until the next restart. FWIW I have patched about 50 servers today and I haven't had any failures yet. I have snapshots of each one should something bad happen however, but so far, everything looks cool... 2008/10/24 Oliver Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fancy detailing the Sh*t ? So far we have various from workstation users reporting that IE crashes at the drop of a hat (a large number of those, running XP mainly, but also vista. We have a server with IIS issues, another which rebooted this morning and then had errors about the raid driver, before loosing its hard disks (o s*t etc). Another whos DHCP service now fails to start on each restart of the box. Again, could all be unrelated, but its just odd that each machine rebooted at 3am for the update. -Original Message- From: John A.

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
Well so far we have IE7 deciding to stop as and when it feels like it, normally when the user has more than one tab open, almost all are XP clients with SP3 on it apart from one which isn't and is on SP2 - no problems on that one for some unknown reason. Not seen any DHCP or IIS issues, though a 2K8 server here decided to have a lie down at around 3ish this morning, but that could be entirely unrelated, one sharepoint install has fallen over and wont get up for love nor money (we tried both) John Aaron Shaw-Miller MBCS KtGC OBE IT Consultant, Infrastructure Exchange Specialist Member of the Microsoft IT Advisory Council Mobile: 07896 740 712 Home Office:01952 400511 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.servtec.co.uk Remember, inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.. idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` ; test -z $idea echo sorry, init 6 in progress || sh ./clooless -Original Message- From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 October 2008 12:03 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
We are going to push this patch to ~40,000 boxes this weekend alone. Hopefully all goes well :-) From what we are seeing in UAT, no major issues. Certainly nothing with IIS (and I'm not seeing that in the IIS forums). DHCP - no issues either. I suspect those are unrelated issues that were waiting to manifest, and did so via a reboot.

Re: Blackberry Bold Administration
So, speaking of VMing your BES, who has Virtualizeded their physical
BES? One of our clients has their BES running on an ancient 2000 server
with over 100 devices. I was thinking that instead of doing a knife
edge cutover, I could just virtualize the server. None of our clients
currently run any corp network stuff in VM, so this would be new.
Easier than knife edge cutover? Is the downtime minimal? Setup easy?

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
Mine, the subject clarified that it was an 'Emergency Update'. Because of the severity of this update we are going to force this update onto your computers differently than we normally do. You will get it very quickly the next time you start your computer, and unfortunately it requires that your computer restart. It is going to restart it for you automatically. It will warn you with a pop up box and will give you a 5 minute warning. It would be best if you just saved your items at that time and restarted it yourself. We recognize that this will be somewhat disruptive and we do not like to do it this way. We would prefer it to be as always; as you finish and shut down your computer. But this update very much warrants this type of quick action. The wrong virus on one machine could spread very quickly all by itself from computer to computer and across the entire district. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Sonic o/s 5.0
Anyone toss me some tip as to what Im missing? I have a Sonicwall 4500, with just a wan/lan port in use. There is an outbound firewall policy for allow all from any to any, there is about 100 nat policies (20 public IP's) , the inbound nat policies seem to work but none of the lan boxes can seem to get any internet access. Whats weird was last night I configured a new server for them, went online got sp2, got all their .net framework required, then I setup the nat policies for inbound 3389/80/443 and now the server cannot even ping out, or see any website, almost like once you define inbound nat policies none of the outbound work. I tried making an outbound policy for the particular server any/any and that didn't work, I also tried removing all the forwarded nat policies like it was previously and that didn't work. Any ideas appreciated. I cant find any deny rule anywhere, I should be able to just ping out, this is on 6 servers so its not a particular server problem that I can see.

I've seen the random explorer crash once in a while, but this is really specific.

Re: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
We patched over a thousand servers and several thousand desktops/laptops last night. Yay for out of band late night enterprise patching. The only issue so far has been client based connectivity issue with Outlook to Exchange and this was specific to some of our laptops. They have McAfee HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention) enabled and it seems Outlook used to initiate connections on a specific port before now does so randomly. As a result they had to change the policy to to accommodate a broader range of ports to the Exchange servers. It makes sense as the patch is RPC related.

Now we have to validate yet another patch and ask yet again for more downtime from the business on servers and workstations etc etc to get required patches on the machines to protect against the latest threat. What compounds it this month that there is already 11 patches to be tested, validated and deployed and vetted for issues afterwards, one of these patches is exploitable and could definitely lead to a worm (SMB flaw) now you add this remote exploitable, wormable patch, quiet possibly with public exploit code in the wild and active exploits, the risk factor goes up through the dam roof.

Cisco ASA 5500
FYI. October 23, SearchSecurity - (International) Cisco warns of security appliance flaws. Cisco Systems Inc. warned of multiple flaws in its ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances and PIX Security Appliances that could be used by an attacker to bypass security controls and gain access to critical systems. The appliances are used to provide a variety of network security features to address Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) security, VPN connections for remote employees and firewall services. Cisco's advisory warned of a Windows NT domain authentication bypass vulnerability, IPv6 denial of service flaw and crypto accelerator memory leak vulnerability. Cisco said its ASA and PIX devices could be susceptible to VPN authentication bypass since they support Microsoft Windows server operating systems, which are vulnerable to a Windows NT Domain authentication flaw. Appliances configured for IPSec or SSL-based remote access VPN may be vulnerable, Cisco said. The IPv6 denial-of-service flaw could cause an IPv6 packet to force ASA and PIX devices to reload. Cisco said devices running software versions from 7.2(4)9 or 7.2(4)10 that have IPv6 enabled are vulnerable to this issue. ASA appliances are vulnerable to a crypto accelerator memory leak vulnerability.

I stopped using the beta due to some performance issues that I attributed to all the debug code that was in there. I've stuck with 1.x versions until now because the were more lightweight, but am considering updating it.

IIS5 Metabase editing
Chaps, If you've read my recent posts, I'm trying to recreate the exchange 2003 virtual directories on an IIS5 based windows 2000 server. I can't find an IIS5 metabase editor anywhere, and the IIS6 resource kit wont install. Does anyone know how I can go about editing the metabase, or even recreate the exchange 2003 virtual dirs in ii5 ? Help !

You should be able to download metaedit still at Microsoft. I believe it was part of both the II5 and IIS6 resource kits. I think that if anyone knew the answer to your question, they would've answered. Few people installed Exchange 2003 on Windows 2000. I never did, out of the many many installations I did.

October 23, SearchSecurity - (International) Cisco warns of security appliance flaws. Cisco Systems Inc. warned of multiple flaws in its ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances and PIX Security Appliances that could be used by an attacker to bypass security controls and gain access to critical systems. The appliances are used to provide a variety of network security features to address Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) security, VPN connections for remote employees and firewall services. Cisco's advisory warned of a Windows NT domain authentication bypass vulnerability, IPv6 denial of service flaw and crypto accelerator memory leak vulnerability. Cisco said its ASA and PIX devices could be susceptible to VPN authentication bypass since they support Microsoft Windows server operating systems, which are vulnerable to a Windows NT Domain authentication flaw. Appliances configured for IPSec or SSL-based remote access VPN may be vulnerable, Cisco said. The IPv6 denial-of-service flaw could cause an IPv6 packet to force ASA and PIX devices to reload. Cisco said devices running software versions from 7.2(4)9 or 7.2(4)10 that have IPv6 enabled are vulnerable to this issue. ASA appliances are vulnerable to a crypto accelerator memory leak vulnerability.

I am looking for a way to get a list of all subwebs and authors to those webs. The web server is Windows Server 2003 running IIS 6.

Ah, yes, I remember him recommending that once on this list... Thanks! Interesting that they have the exact same shopping cart design, ssl naming convention, etc as go daddy.
