RE: Perhaps OT: Frustration level rising with IIS/ASP

[Ken Schaefer]

Does IUSR_ have execute permissions to cmd.exe?

Running Process Monitor is probably a good idea. You'd probably need to run 
this on the IIS box to see what it's being denied to.

If it's a problem accessing a UNC share, you can probably look in the Security 
event log of the remote machine to see what user account is being denied 
access. If it's a problem actually invoking a command prompt or instantiating 
some other object, then you'd need Process Monitor on the IIS box.

Cheers
Ken

RE: Preventing user from changing login name

[Louis, Joe]

I'm not sure if you can prevent him from changing it, but iirc, you can have it 
already in the logon field by adding it to the winlogon key in the registry. 
Try adding his logon to defaultusername. Then all he'd have to do is enter the 
password.

Windows 2003 Active Directory domain.

RE: Help: PDF viewing slow over WAN via RDP/TS

[Gene Giannamore]

The decision was made to use acrobat standard. There was some problems with 
foxit reader 2.1, and it was booted. However when foxit reader 2.1 was 
installed, it was a faster viewer. This is a single server environment, so it's 
a little difficult to test foxit reader on this server.

Simple file sharing must be enabled to give you the "make this folder

RE: Preventing user from changing login name

[Gene Giannamore]

Use the welcome screen, and remove the all other profiles? Only works if he 
never figures out how to bypass. Maybe MS' steadystate?

Hi all!

I would like to prevent one of my users from changing his assigned Windows 
login name. All I want him to do is enter the password only in order to log on 
to our domain. Is this possible? The OS is Windows XP Pro and we have an 
Windows 2003 Active Directory domain.

TIA

RE: ClarkConnect

[Gene Giannamore]

Had a similar thing happen to a prior customer of mine. Hotel reservation 
system was blocking their customer (an Inn). Apparently an infected computer 
was spamming the hotel reservation system email address, and the hosting 
company blocked the domain because of some kind of mismatch with the email 
address and FQDN. They never explained it really, took a week before they 
resolve it, because the reservations were not working right and some sales 
person was worried about loosing a customer.

just viewing and scrolling. It's inconvenient to email the file to yourself
or transferring to the local laptop, just to view. I am hoping I can get the
go ahead for the steelhead or other products for small office and laptops,
if there is a noticeable improvement of the RDP/TS speed.

Have not had much success finding a solution to the problem of
viewing/scrolling PDF files (especially scanned), from the 2003 terminal
server, when connected across a WAN link (as fast as 1mbps). No problems
when local. It affects all user profiles remotely.

Has anyone tried solutions like Riverbed's Steelhead or Cisco's WAAS? Did it

Good call.

Haven't done that. I think I'll need to do it on the IIS machine.

Thanks.

Yeah, I am kind of curious as well.  Do you have dual power supplies?
Can you still boot?  Iirc, the 1850 do have dual power supplies.

I was under the impression that the server is down and won't power up,
but I'm not sure by how you have this worded. Can you please clarify
this? Some have replied that you should install OpenManage, but if the
server is down, that is not an option. Don't suppose you have another
1850 in house that you could swap the power supply with to verify if
it's the culprit? If the server is down, and you have no support and no
spare parts, you have very limited options.

Hi Folks, 

 

I have an out-of-warranty Dell PowerEdge 1850.  I *think* the power
supply has failed. I had to down the system for 30 minutes or so, then
attempted to power it on.   I cannot be certain since, oddly, there are
no error lights or anything.  All I get is a blue blinking status light,
which is "general error" according to Dell's voluminous docs.  No beeps,
buzzes, whistles, etc.  There is no disk activity, but the rear fans
come one as soon as the power cables are engaged.  

 

I don't mind replacing the power supply, but I want to somehow verify.
Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

We have a page on our intranet server that is doing some very funky things.

Namely, it mostly, but not always, gives out this error message:

 Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

 Permission denied

 /intranet/webquery/SearchResultObsoleteParts.asp, line 119


That line of code is

 objShell.Run strPSExec,0,true

Which is just a reference to this line:

 strPSExec = "\\inetserver\Queries\psexec.exe -w
e:\directory1\directory2 \\avante -u mycompany\_udtpuller -p
ThePassword cscript GetUDTData.vbs COMP_ALERT " & strPartNum & " -r "
& strDataSetNum


We're using an older version of psexec, just to avoid issues with
dismissing the EULA. The page used to work at one point, but now it's
not working well at all - something changed in December, AFAICT, but
nobody's fessing up, nor can I find anything different.


After googling and a bit of thinking, I followed the directions in
this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197964/ - which seemed
to clear it up for about 20 minutes, but now it's not working again,
and I am not able to figure out why.

Anyone have thoughts on what I should be looking at/for?

There's also the old standby of pulling everything off the motherboard (drive 
controllers, RAM, CPU, etc) and powering it up with just PS and motherboard. 
Add one device, rinse and repeat until you get a change in beeps or light 
blinks. I've had machines start working just by taking them apart and 
reinstalling the parts. I've seen RAID drives come back online, machines able 
to power up that previously did nothing, etc.

RE: Odd Dell PowerEdge issue

[Christopher Bodnar]

I was under the impression that the server is down and won't power up, but
I'm not sure by how you have this worded. Can you please clarify this?
Some have replied that you should install OpenManage, but if the server is
down, that is not an option. Don't suppose you have another 1850 in house
that you could swap the power supply with to verify if it's the culprit?
If the server is down, and you have no support and no spare parts, you
have very limited options.

Hi Folks, 

 

I have an out-of-warranty Dell PowerEdge 1850.  I *think* the power supply
has failed. I had to down the system for 30 minutes or so, then attempted
to power it on.   I cannot be certain since, oddly, there are no error
lights or anything.  All I get is a blue blinking status light, which is
"general error" according to Dell's voluminous docs.  No beeps, buzzes,
whistles, etc.  There is no disk activity, but the rear fans come one as
soon as the power cables are engaged.  

 

I don't mind replacing the power supply, but I want to somehow verify.
Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

  Find a compatible power supply and attach it to the computer
temporarily.  Or take the PSU out of the dead computer and see if it
will power on a known-good computer.

  It should be, but it isn't.  As far as US and international
copyright law goes, that is as illegal as a "pirated" copy of
Microsoft Windows or Office.  Have a nice day.

  Don't like it?  Write your congressional representatives and tell

Help: PDF viewing slow over WAN via RDP/TS

[Gene Giannamore]

Have not had much success finding a solution to the problem of 
viewing/scrolling PDF files (especially scanned), from the 2003 terminal 
server, when connected across a WAN link (as fast as 1mbps). No problems when 
local. It affects all user profiles remotely.
Has anyone tried solutions like Riverbed's Steelhead or Cisco's WAAS? Did it 
help with RDP? I did run across an article about Cisco's WAAS optimizing ICA.

I think they have a Diag CD on the website too that will also give you
great info.  If you don't already use it, OpenManage is great - but a
pretty beefy install for one-time-use.

RE: Perhaps OT: Frustration level rising with IIS/ASP

[Ken Schaefer]

What OS is important. IUSR account doesn't have permissions to cmd.exe (and a 
bunch of other things) by default in Windows Server 2003

Doesn't explain it was working, and now it's not, but one thing to check.

What about GPOs applying to this server?

What OS?  2003?  

It's a permissions issue with executing commands on the system via the
IUSR_ or IWAM_ accounts.   I forget the steps off the top of my head but
it involved using creating a different user that I elevated the
privleges for in local sec pol and used the account as the anon account
and the app pool.

A lot of VAR's can sell you Cisco certified used equipment.  And it's
verified so you can add it to your smartnet no questions asked, if you
care.  I just picked up an 8k 3750 for under 4k.  Other than my local

find most anything you need.

RE: Used Cisco Equipment?

I have used these folks a few times with good luck. Also consider 'Cisco

Re: Used Cisco Equiment?

[Phil Brutsche]

eBay is a really really crappy place to buy Cisco.

Try "used cisco" in Google. Seriously, try it.

Every one of the companies listed on the first couple search results
pages is 100% legitimate.

We dump all firewall and other configs to a TFTP server so that they can be 
restored. We don't care about the OS so much as being able to quickly put the 
correct configuration back in place. DPM is especially nice when using Exchange

RE: Preventing user from changing login name

[Hart, Robert]

Really you should have the other person change their password or change if for 
them.  If that does not work go to HR and say so and so is using so and so 
username to log in to bypass security blah blah blah

If those option do not work and you really want to only let that person log 
into that computer...  I do not believe you can lock down the username field 
but you can allow or deny users from logging in locally through the local 
security policy. "Allow log on locally" and "Deny log on locally" use them 
wisely.

  As appears to be the theme: +1

  Passwords exist for a reason.  Use them.  Properly.

  I don't know of any way to prevent someone from changing the logon
name.  However, there is a facility to have a Windows computer
automatically logon to a given account.  It does involve storing the
plaintext password for logon in the Windows registry.  The user can
bypass the autologon by holding down the [SHIFT] key when the
startup/logon process reaches that point.  But it may be suitable for
some uses.

RE: Preventing user from changing login name

[James Winzenz]

You are trying to address a behavioral issue with a technological one.
HR is the appropriate venue for this.  Maybe some security awareness
training as well . . .

On a side note, if the other user account that this person is using is
not supposed to log on to that computer, you can also set the login
restrictions for that account to prevent it from logging into the
computer in question.  But the password would still need to be changed .
. .

ClarkConnect

[Cameron Cooper]

The site is www.backgroundchecks.com.  I can access this site from
outside our network without using the https.  But when I try to access
the site, within the network, it goes to a google search.  Then when you
click on then link, it gives you "This page cannot be displayed".  The
site and their IP have been added to a whitelist in the firewall.

I switched from BE to DPM. I really like it, but I have a pretty much
completely Microsoft infrastructure. If you don't it would not be so
great.

Just seeing if there is a backup solution that people have migrated to
from Backup Exec.

What does UltraBac do differently or offer that BE doesn't?

1. Please define "better".

2. Seriously, why are you looking away from a product with which you are

familiar?

3. Our NYC office uses BE.  I was sent a "How to" with a series of
screen shots, etc regarding their use of BE.  That doc has me clinging
even more tightly to UltraBac (which I've been using for perhaps 10+
years)!
