As far as America goes, there is the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 that 
protects consumers from that garbage. What the manufacturer can do is ask you 
to remove the third party memory if they discover that memory is the cause of 
the problem. They cannot refuse service on any machine under warranty.

I have been told by our usual hardware vendor that if I use Crucial RAM to 
upgrade several HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers that I will void my warranty with 
HP.  He states that we can only use HP branded RAM.  There is a £300 difference 
between the HP branded RAM they quoted us and the price we could get from 
Crucial. 

 

I just spoke with Crucial and they state that this is not true.  Anyone else 
ever come across this issue?

If you have Software Assurance you get Cold Standby Server rights, but
this is not really a seamless failover.

 

Now if you are virtualizing then you could do a proper test without
needing to get an additional license, but this is for a machine which is
usually powered off.

Not 100% sure about that, but a second install of the same license for a

RE: PKI Infrastructure / GPO Auto Enroll over Firewall fails.

2008-12-02 Thread Ken Schaefer

Hi,

 I assume the RPC server is that of the root CA server, which is the
 Enterprise level server on the other side of the firewall.  It's not going
 to reply.  _SHOULD_ the workstation gain everything it needs from the Domain
 Controller rather than any CA Server???

No. An AD-intergrated CA publishes a service point into Active Directory which 
allows clients to locate it. However the actual certificates are issued by the 
CA itself. As you have a firewall issue, you could creating an offline CA, and 
making your existing CA a subordinate CA and moving it to the client side of 
the firewall.

Cheers

 Subject: RE: PKI Infrastructure / GPO Auto Enroll over Firewall fails.
 
 What I'm trying to do:  We are attempting to use certificates for SCCM.  In
 the future we would like to extend the certificate structure for IPSEC
 authentication and we are considering the use of certificates for file
 encryption.
 
 We are utilizing the Enterprise level Windows Server in order to take
 advantage of the Certificate Templates.
 
 The Enterprise Server is generating the root CA and the SCCM certificates
 outlined in the 'step by step' sccm documentation and publishing those to
 AD.
 
 The problem comes in when the workstation attempts to AutoEnroll the
 certificates.   Via network trace I can see that the workstation is
 requesting something from the Enterprise Server, which is behind a firewall.
 The firewall blocks the traffic and the Auto Enrollment fails.
 
 Since the firewall was the problem, I thought that MAYBE another CA on the
 same side of the firewall might be in order.  So, back to my original
 question; do I need a CA Server on the same side of the firewall as the
 workstations?  I only have two servers on the same network as the
 workstations, both are domain controllers.  Or MAYBE the problem is
 elsewhere?
 
 The actual error I get is Event ID 13; Automatic certificate enrollment for
 local system failed to enroll for one Computer certificate (0x800706ba). The
 RPC server is unavailable.  When I attempt to gain the certificate manually
 I get the same error.
 
 I assume the RPC server is that of the root CA server, which is the
 Enterprise level server on the other side of the firewall.  It's not going
 to reply.  _SHOULD_ the workstation gain everything it needs from the Domain
 Controller rather than any CA Server???

 Yes, an intermediate CA is the same thing as a subordinate CA. I think
 subordinate CA is the correct terminology. Sorry about that.
 
 From your description, it's not clear to me what you are trying to do. Why
 do you have 2 CAs? For my experience, the reason why you have two is so that
 the root CA can be kept off line for added security. The root CA is used to
 generate the certificate for the subordinate CA, and isn't used again except
 for CRL updates and to renew the cert on the subordinate CA. The subordinate
 CA is the one that is used day to day in issuing certificates.
 
 From you description below, you say that you have an enterprise CA server
 publishing to AD. Is that your root CA? What does the subordinate CA do? You
 don't need windows enterprise to issue certificates - you only need it if
 you want to make changes to the templates of the certs that are issued.

  Our root CA is off line. I only fire it up every couple of months to
  keep it
  patched and update the CRL's. You will need an intermediate CA online

  use

DHCP client release

2008-12-02 Thread Jeff Bunting

Hi all, just rejoined the list after a bit of a hiatus; hope someone
knows the answer to this.

I was reading about a Microsoft DHCP option to release the IP address
on shutdown.   According to what I read, this should cause the client
to send a DHCPRELEASE request to the server prior to shutdown.  What I
am curious to know is if the client actually releases the address or
just tells the server it is released?  All of the Technet articles I
found dealt with the server side of things and didn't state
emphatically what is happening on the client side.

Thanks,
Jeff

RE: Memory Upgrade question

2008-12-02 Thread Steve Burkett

I believe he is mistaken.

 

HP's blurb from the DL380 G5's  Supplemental Information to Warranty Statement:

(http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00383139lang=encc=ustaskId=prodSeriesId=1121516prodTypeId=15351)

 

*   It is possible to void the warranty on an HP product. Any failure 
caused by an unsupported or third-party component will not be covered by 
warranty. Opening a sealed component or sealed product will void the warranty. 
Examples of sealed components or sealed products include drives, monitors, and 
many handheld products. Opening the case will not void the warranty on products 
that are designed to be opened and upgraded, such as desktop or tower computers 
or servers.

So the way I read that, Crucial memory is fine to be used in HP servers as long 
as you don't ring them up trying to get a replacement for your failed 
motherboard which has mysterious scorch marks encircling the memory sockets.

I have been told by our usual hardware vendor that if I use Crucial RAM to

Crucial. 

 

I just spoke with Crucial and they state that this is not true.  Anyone else

in these environments.  Any easy and/or free way to notify users not

2008/12/1 Alex Carroll [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am having issues here.  This has been going on for a while and is just
a rather large annoyance but I am starting to wonder if something more
isn't going on.  An account (a domain admin) is getting locked out of
our DC (SBS 2003).  It starts with a bunch of bad password attempts and
then locks his account out after it reaches the maximum bad password
limit.  This seems to happen every hour and a half or so (between 1-2
hours).

 

Here is the 529 from our DC:

Not a big deal right?  Until I finally broke down and looked at the

 What I'm trying to do:  We are attempting to use certificates for SCCM.
 In
 the future we would like to extend the certificate structure for IPSEC
 authentication and we are considering the use of certificates for file
 encryption.

 We are utilizing the Enterprise level Windows Server in order to take
 advantage of the Certificate Templates.

 The Enterprise Server is generating the root CA and the SCCM
 certificates
 outlined in the 'step by step' sccm documentation and publishing those
 to
 AD.

 The problem comes in when the workstation attempts to AutoEnroll the
 certificates.   Via network trace I can see that the workstation is
 requesting something from the Enterprise Server, which is behind a
 firewall.
 The firewall blocks the traffic and the Auto Enrollment fails.

 Since the firewall was the problem, I thought that MAYBE another CA on
 the
 same side of the firewall might be in order.  So, back to my original
 question; do I need a CA Server on the same side of the firewall as the
 workstations?  I only have two servers on the same network as the
 workstations, both are domain controllers.  Or MAYBE the problem is
 elsewhere?

 The actual error I get is Event ID 13; Automatic certificate
 enrollment for
 local system failed to enroll for one Computer certificate
 (0x800706ba). The
 RPC server is unavailable.  When I attempt to gain the certificate
 manually
 I get the same error.

 I assume the RPC server is that of the root CA server, which is the
 Enterprise level server on the other side of the firewall.  It's not
 going
 to reply.  _SHOULD_ the workstation gain everything it needs from the
 Domain
 Controller rather than any CA Server???

 Yes, an intermediate CA is the same thing as a subordinate CA. I think
 subordinate CA is the correct terminology. Sorry about that.

 From your description, it's not clear to me what you are trying to do.
 Why
 do you have 2 CAs? For my experience, the reason why you have two is so
 that
 the root CA can be kept off line for added security. The root CA is
 used to
 generate the certificate for the subordinate CA, and isn't used again
 except
 for CRL updates and to renew the cert on the subordinate CA. The
 subordinate
 CA is the one that is used day to day in issuing certificates.

 From you description below, you say that you have an enterprise CA
 server
 publishing to AD. Is that your root CA? What does the subordinate CA
 do? You
 don't need windows enterprise to issue certificates - you only need it
 if
 you want to make changes to the templates of the certs that are issued.

  Our root CA is off line. I only fire it up every couple of months to
  keep it patched and update the CRL's. You will need an intermediate
 CA
  online somewhere to issue certificates. The problem is that, if you
  want to use certificate templates and modify the defaults, you need

 Sony has a few nice looking systems, but I still can't forgive them for the

 anything SONY after they refused to apologize and accept responsibility for
 their negligent actions

Does anybody have any experience using GFI's Languard for vulnerability

vulnerabilities to common applications.  Currently I am using a Security
Company's scanner and it is convenient, and easy to report on, but it is
quite expensive and I'd like to know what I'd get for the $690 to GFI as

Good afternoon,

I've run into an issue at work related to our web site that I can't  
figure out.  Our site was developed in house using Flash by another  
individual who can't explain the issue, either.


When you go to www.forestpost.com, everything works fine.  If you  
click on of the links on the left, you'll see a carousel featuring our  
staff.  This data is XML driven.  If you go to forestpost.com, the XML  
never loads, so you don't see the carousels.  While we look at a long  
term solution, I'm trying to find a quick fix.


Can I do anything through DNS?  Some way to force all traffic destined  
for forestpost.com to redirect to www.forestpost.com?

Sony must have improved their support over the past few years.  The last
time I had a Vaio in a work environment was about 6 years ago, and when
something broke on it, it was an all day thing trying to get into a live
support person for help.  Back then, the Vaio just wasn't a work

2008-12-02 Thread Kennedy, Jim


I am only addressing the specific question below, I did not have much luck 
trying to hit your site. You already are doing that through DNS, both point to 
the same IP address.

So now make sure the web server is set to answer to the requests for that 
header.

Don't know if that is your problem, but that is the basics on getting 
forestpost.com and www.forestpost.com to hit the same website. Same DNS (you 
have that) and the web server itself answering both header requests.

Re: Userenv 1006, 1030 Domain issues

2008-12-02 Thread johonn2 _

Alex,

I would go back to CRAB03SVR-2 and try to find the process that is running
about every 90 minutes. Could it be a GPO refresh and the computer password
is out of sync? Did richc setup any processes to check CRAB03SVR or any
other networked computer that they would need to authenticate to CRAB03SVR
to connect to that they are running from CRAB03SVR-2. Take your next pass
guess at the time you think the alert will happen again and setup some
monitoring. You can use filemon, netstat –o. I would guess there will
be some network connection to CRAB03SVR from CRAB03SVR-2. netstat –o will
show the process ID which you can then use to see the process in task
manager. This of course can be cumbersome if there are a lot of network
connections to begin with from CRAB03SVR-2. Once you run the monitor and if
you think you caught a change or a new process running check the logs and
see if an event was generated and bingo you have the process.

Some thoughts, a log parser, file sync/replication. Anything that is
automated from CRAB03SVR-2.

If not you can try these

  That's HTTP, not DNS.  It can be done using most web servers.  I
don't know how to do it in IIS 7.0 (which you're apparently using),
but I bet Google would tell you.

  But that would really just be working around a bug.  I'd suggest
fixing the bug.  I'm guessing you've got a request (Flash or
JavaScript) that's triggering a cross-domain security check somehow.
Most web client technologies try to limit web pages to requests within
their domain (so that visiting http://www.example.com/exploit.js won't
mean giving up your eBay login cookies).  The specifics I have no idea
on.

I have a director, who would like to manage their unit's distribution

up so that you can give someone rights to do this, but I can't seem to
think straight enough to remember where I saw it.  Is it through
Outlook, as an admin, or is it on the backend somewhere?

 

Also, the director that I'm speaking of is not a technical person.  Is

Sony must have improved their support over the past few years.  The last
time I had a Vaio in a work environment was about 6 years ago, and when
something broke on it, it was an all day thing trying to get into a live
support person for help.  Back then, the Vaio just wasn't a work
PC...fine for home use, but not for office use.  Always good news when a
company fixes issues, though.

RE: Looking for light laptop

You've got to forget their consumer line. That stuff was impossible to
get parts and support for, and definitely not worth managing in a
business environment. They have had a business lineup with standardized
hardware architecture for over 2 years. They currently have the lightest
full-power notebook on the market, the TT series. We are talking an
11.1 notebook with DVDRW or Bluray, 256GB SSD, and 9 hours of battery
life (as long as you're not burning) and it comes in at 2.9lbs. You will
definitely pay for that technology though. Their workhorse BZ series you
can compare to the HP 6930's and most are in the $700-1200 range.

 I was reading about a Microsoft DHCP option to release the IP address
 on shutdown.

  Yup, we use this, just to make things a little easier for roaming
users.  Keeps the lease database cleaner, too.

 What I am curious to know is if the client actually releases the address or
 just tells the server it is released?

  There's no way in the protocol for a DHCP server to acknowledge a
DHCPRELEASE message.  So the client has to assume the message worked
(spray-and-pray), and considers the interface to have no lease and
no address (until/unless renewed).

  If the client is sending DHCPRELEASE and then keeping the lease,
that would be a DHCP protocol violation.

  It should be easy enough to test.  Before booting the troublesome
laptop, plug it into a hub without any upstream link (so the laptop
sees a link, but can't reach a DHCP server).  Boot the laptop, and see
if it still thinks it has a DHCP lease.  For added bonus points, watch
with a network sniffer.

  Are you sure the user is doing a full shut down?  I've sometimes
seen Windows not notice a change in link state.  In other words,
computer is left running (or standby/suspend), unplugged from one
network and plugged into another, and Windows never realizes the
Ethernet cable was unplugged.  Not much you can do about that.

  In the ISC DHCP server, there's an option that marks a DHCP scope as
authoritative or not.  If it's authoritative, the DHCP server will
send DHCPNAK to a client trying to get an address from a different
network.  If it is not authoritative, the DHCP server will just not
answer.  I dunno if MSFT DHCP has a similar option.  If it does, might
help.

RE: GFI LANGuard Vs Security Company

2008-12-02 Thread Bill Songstad (WCUL)

I don't mind spending money.  It's the spending more than I need to that
I find fault with.  Our Security auditors provide a vulnerability
scanner built on Nessus, which I think the GFI product is built on as
well, the value add is of course the GUI and updating of the
vulnerability databases.  So I look at my vendor's product and it works
well for $3k/yr.  SNSI apparently does much the same for $2k and GFI
does the same for $700 each without the high annual maintenance.   I
guess I'll have to just try them out and see how I like them.  From the
sales rhetoric, I see very little difference in product features.  But I
do see quite a difference in price.  Time to fire up the VMs...

Does anybody have any experience using GFI's Languard for vulnerability

vulnerabilities to common applications.  Currently I am using a Security
Company's scanner and it is convenient, and easy to report on, but it is
quite expensive and I'd like to know what I'd get for the $690 to GFI as

GFI work?  Is it easy? Accurate?  Anyone have any real-world

Force www vs non-www to avoid duplicate content on Google

Recently, it has been talked a lot about Google and duplicate content as 
well as Google Canonical problems.That is, when you have your site 
accessible both under your_domain.com and www.your_domain.com. To avoid 
such problems you can use the following lines in your .htaccess file to 
force only the www version of your web site:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R=301]

Please, note that the .htaccess should be located in the web site main 
folder.

This will redirect all requests to the non-www version of your site to the 
www version using 301 Permanent redirect which will make the search 
engines to index your site only using the www.your_domain.com URL. In this 
way you will avoid a duplicate content penalty.

  How To Force www (or no-www) In Domain Name | ProgramimiCOM


If you don´t have access to .htaccess, you could also accomplish the same 
thing through php with a simple script at the top of every page that will 
try to find www in the URL and redirect if found. Not the most elegant 
solution, but it does what it needs to do for those who can´t edit 
.htaccess for some reason.   

if(!substr($_SERVER[´HTTP_HOST´], `www´)) //check if www exists in URL
{ header(´Location: http://www.programimi.com/´); //redirect to 
www.programimi.com }

Or for those using wordpress, you could simply install a plugin that does 
all this for you! One example plugin is WWW-Redirect.

Recovering data from a mirrored drive

2008-12-02 Thread Bryan Garmon

I need some help on how to restore some data from a crashed server.

Let me explain. I don't know many of the how and why details here, but
a call came in from a small company I work with. Said company has a
single Windows Small Business Server 2003 - that went into an endless
boot loop. Last Known Good was no good, Safe Mode hung an an ACPI.dll,
Recovery Console hung on examining disk configuration - BartPE
bluescreened - anyway - it was not a good experience. Oh, and did I
mention the customer has no backups of any kind.

So the OS is installed on 80GB drive - best as I can tell no data was
actually stored on this hard drive.  The importanta data was stored on
a mirrored set of 250GB SATA drives connected via a HightPoint
Technologies Inc, RocketRaid 1640 card.

I haven't worked with recovering data off of a Mirrored drive so I'm a
little nervous here - but what I was hoping that what I could do is
unplug one of the 250GB SATA drives from the RAID card, set it as a
slave drive on another system running server 2003, turn on the other
system and then pull the data off the partition. Will this work for me
to recovery the data?

Thanks for any input.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends entirely on the drive controller.

What is 100% guaranteed to work is to take the *entire* *drive* *array*
and hook it up into another machine.

I think that just about every hardware RAID card I've used recently store

I got antsy and called HighPoint Technologies tech support - they said
that for the default config using mirrored drives, taking one of the
drives and connecting it to a 2nd system should be fine. The only time
this would be a problem is if the card was configured with a setting
called disk spin up which if configured, will prevent the drives
from spinning unless they are connected to this specific raid card -
but he said that setting is rarerly used. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed and will give it a shot.

Re: DNS issue?

Believe me, I hear you on the anti-flash stuff.  That was the first  
thing I told them when I started.  We are invisible to search  
engines.  With our work, form always trumps function.  Our designers  
need to have total control over how things look down to specifying  
exactly what font the user sees.


I'm trying to get a hold of our hosting company.  According to their  
website, we should be able to use the IIS Remote Manager, but I'm not  
sure of the connection information.  I think I can set the redirect  
that way.

 Both www.forestpost.com. and forestpost.com. return the same A

 That's HTTP, not DNS.  It can be done using most web servers.  I
don't know how to do it in IIS 7.0 (which you're apparently using),
but I bet Google would tell you.

 But that would really just be working around a bug.  I'd suggest
fixing the bug.  I'm guessing you've got a request (Flash or
JavaScript) that's triggering a cross-domain security check somehow.
Most web client technologies try to limit web pages to requests within
their domain (so that visiting http://www.example.com/exploit.js won't
mean giving up your eBay login cookies).  The specifics I have no idea
on.
