I just received an email on one of The Tech's mailing lists about how email from The Tech's mail server are being rejected by the Barracuda Spam Filters.

While I don't necessarily think requiring people to fill out a quick form is the best way to fight spam, its certainly not completely unreasonable to ask them to do it once in a while. Extra kudos if they can use some sort of certificate, signature, etc to bypass it. However, what follows is one of the most perverted uses of technology and diabolically brilliant business plans I have ever witnessed. Lets assume you'd like to avoid being caught by this spam filter in the future. Barracuda allows you to register with EmailReg.org , an 'organization' which maintains a list of domains and the IP address of their associated mail server. To sweeten the pot, they allow anyone to query their database for free in order verify the authenticity of an email. Many of you are scratching your heads, so let me provide an example. Lets say that you run Google.com. You register with EmailReg.org and tell them, 'Any email that comes from google.com will have to come from one of our SMTP servers. Their IP addresses are 1.2.3.4 and 9.8.7.6'. This means that an email which claims to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] that didn't come from those IP address probably isn't actually from someone who works at Google and can probably be marked as spam. (Note that identity verification is a big part of spam protection, since spammers often pretend to be someone else, in an attempt to hide how much mail they're sending.) What a great idea right? Spam protection that works and is transparent to users? Until you realize that they charge $20 to register your domain. Per year. Effectively, this means that you have to pay $20 per year to send email to people on domains that use this service to verify email authenticity. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if EmailReg was the definitive source for this information, or if they had some new and brilliant technology, or if there weren't any other good solutions. Instead, EmailReg is nobody, their product is a whitelist (albeit with two parameters – domain and IP), and there are a hundred other, perfectly viable anti-spam techniques. Somehow, they've managed to get a major corporation (Baracuda) on board and they're now gouging people to send e-mail – something which is supposed to be free. I salute the businessman who came up with this idea and the salesman who got Barracuda on board. Beyond that, I'm furious. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: Barracuda and EmailReg.Org
It does more than that. Passing an SPF test will not stop your message from being blocked by a Bays filter for example. SPF is just one test. What the 'Cuda whitelist will do is just that, whitelist you past all the other tests, assuming the admin that runs the Cuda as the Barracuda Reputation Service turned on and set to whitelist. I certainly don't. My definition of a whitelist is different that Barracuda's. For example Cuda has Constant Contact whitelisted through this service. I only whitelist trusted senders that never send spam. Constant Contact is certainly anti-spam but their customers sometimes fool them and a spam run or two sneaks through. So Constant Contact is not someone that never sends spam, thus they shouldn't be whitelisted imho. I can't wait until March when my service contract is up with them and I can replace this PoS. And be forewarned if you have a Cuda and use the reputation service to block with. They are doing intentional collateral damage. It is Unannounced and you are unable to look it up on their lookup form. Not good, not good at all. -Original Message- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 2:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Barracuda and EmailReg.Org So this is DNSBL that does the same thing as SPF - but you have to pay for it.

How to tell where a user is logged in?
I've got a sys admin who's leaving his super user account logged in over night. I would like to find out WHERE he's doing this before I talk to him.

So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?
You're all the admins who actually buy the stuff that people like Sunbelt (and many, many others make). How are you seeing the recession impact your buying decisions? Are you being told to hold off until later? Is it business as usual? Or is it a bloodletting? Are you still buying cheap stuff but not buying expensive stuff? Etc., etc. Maybe I'm opening the Pandora's Box here, but I think we need to all look at the situation realistically.

RE: Unknown account created and added to local admins group
James is correct, Also I would look to implement a restricted Groups GPO which will rip any accounts you don't want in the local administrators, Power Users and any other Local or Global Groups that are sensitive in nature. You should see the eventlogs light up each time the GPO is applied if someone or something has put an extra user in your local administrators group. Now for the 64M dollar question, Do you know if you are currently having a penetration test or security testing on your farm going on that your bosses didn't tell you was going on. I have ran into that once before, but Id side on the cautious side and check your other systems and see if something larger isn't in store. Z Edward E.

RE: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?
Ask me again after the 4th of November. We are a public school, we have a levy renewal up for vote on that date. It is not an increase, just a renewal of an existing levy. If it passes we have already made the cuts to cover inflation so we are good. If it fails it will be a nightmare here. I will remain employed but many will lose their jobs and I certainly won't be spending any money.

Re: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?
We are mostly in a purchasing freeze for new projects. Existing projects get to move forward though. I was just told by the owner to try and negotiate all software purchases with the software vendors, his thought being that they have a margin that can be sliced. I doubt Microsoft will listen to my requests of a price reduction though.

Re: Blackberry question
You should go with Pro for now, even if things change down the road and you need more than 30 CALs you can do a trade-up later. The software is the same and just needs a new key to allow for more users. *Beyond 30 users* To expand your deployment beyond 30 users, you can upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server by purchasing a BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Server Trade-up Key.

Well, yes, in the template it is as you say. When you create the user, it becomes \\server\users\weisenberg, or whatever the actual username is.

Users log in, and the login script says 'net use h: /home' which should send them to \\server\users\username, per their AD attribute. However, what happens is that they map to \\server\users instead. It will also happen if you drop to a command prompt and type the same net use line there. You can always manually map to the deeper UNC without issue (so it's not an NTFS ACL issue). It seems to happen more frequently to laptop users than desktop users.

Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) client issue
Hi Folks: For those of you using Citrix: Recently both of my Citrix web interface sites started prompting for user ID and password when the ICA client needs to be updated or installed. Previously the user just selected the download button, the client was pulled from one of the Citrix servers, and the install proceeded. I recenlty applied the MS out-of-band patch, but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. Suggestions?

RE: Blackberry question
Hmm, the product I used was called Rove Mobile Desktop and it was just a stand-alone RDP client for the Blackberry handheld - no server side software was involved. I just looked at the Rove site and it has completely changed. It seems they have bundled everything in to the Mobile Admin package and won't sell the individual pieces any longer, which is not making some customers happy http://www.berryreview.com/2008/09/25/rant-whats-up-with-rove-mobile/ .

Re: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?
We are commercial architecture and enginnering firm. We are pretty diversified. We do a LOT of military and govt jobs at many levels, some educational work. We are hiring left and right. We expanded our facilities a year ago - added about 30 cubicles and they are almost full now. Total around 120 to 130 employees at any time. Next Tuesday may change the govt landscape, about a year out from now, but we have plenty of work in the pipeline. We purchased about 90 high end workstations/laptops in Jan of this year. We upgraded the whole shebang to AutoCAD/Revit 2009 suite which aint cheap. Then we bought a few licenses of microstation v9(?). Then upgraded a bunch of engineering apps for Vista (that was fun). We will prob replace most of our real servers this year (5 PowerEdge's 29xx and 28xx's) and move to Exch 2007 on VMWare ESX if I have my say. I am pretty much able to ask for anything and get it within reason, and to ring my own bell thats because I only ask for things that we can use. Heck last year I asked for double take for our main file server and got it approved in minutes. Never had to use it though. If I want I could show up at 5AM and leave at 10PM.

RE: Bad drive mappings
I usually do this mapping within AD myself, but that's not how it was being done prior to my arrival...

However, why use net use... in a script? OR, does filling in the Home directory space in the user's AD Profile tab essentially make a script (which will not run)? I've never had any problems creating the directory \\server\users\username, sharing it as \\server\username$, and connecting that way... -- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org Eisenberg, Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/29/2008 10:36:28 AM: Has anyone seen this issue? Users log in, and the login script says 'net use h: /home' which should send them to \\server\users\username, per their AD attribute. However, what happens is that they map to \\server\users instead. It will also happen if you drop to a command prompt and type the same net use line there. You can always manually map to the deeper UNC without issue (so it's not an NTFS ACL issue). It seems to happen more frequently to laptop users than desktop users.

RE: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?
I work for a non-profit in New York that is relies heavily on state and federal funding. We provide many services for people with disabilities. We already got hit with a retroactive funding cut of a couple hundred thousand dollars, and from what we can tell with NY forecasting extreme cuts going forward we are going to in a real bind for 2009. For the remainder of this year we are going ahead with purchases that were already budgeted if they are critical but anything that is not critical we are not purchasing. We expect to be in maintenance mode for 2009, buying only what we need to keep functioning. -Original Message- From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions?

RE: Blackberry question
Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of an even smaller version they don't have any more (I think they called it Executive or something, that was free, stripped the MDS Integration and was specific to SBS only). I'm not familiar with RDP clients. None of my customers have that need from their phone.
