  It works okay for what it is.  It's a low-budget solution.  If the
website is critical to business, I wouldn't recommend it.  If the end
customer doesn't react well to "we found the problem but it's outside
of our control", avoid it.  If it's just an informational site and not
a big deal, it's appropriate.

  It won't work for some small segment of your users.  Exactly how
small varies.  It's often an insignificant segment, but occasionally
is not.  AOL used to ignore DNS TLL all the time, but I hear they've
gotten better (just in time to go out of business).

  How well it works is impacted by all sorts of things -- DNS
propagation delays, DNS caching, stale lookups, nameservers which
ignore your TTL, phase of the moon, etc.  Diagnosing individual causes
is basically impossible, and even when you find a cause you generally
can't do anything about it.

  One problem is that many browsers (most?) only resolve a name once
and then keep that IP address in memory until you exit the browser.
This isn't a function of DNS but application design.

  Doom and gloom aside, dynamic DNS works very well in the general
case.  You just have to be willing to accept its limitations.

  I know Google Analytics will let you assign multiple users (Google
Accounts) to a website, with at least rudimentary access control (edit

They are assigned according to how you configure the Terminal Server,
per-seat or per-user

I go by how the business needs are. Going by your numbers you have 150
employees that used computers. How many computers do you have for the
employees to use? How many do not need TS access?

 

If they have 50 users that need access from 75 different computers then
User CALs are used. The people can use any computer that is open. More
users require more licenses.

 

If they have 50 computers and these computers are access by 75 people
then device CALs are used. This scenario allows more users without an
increase of TS licenses.

 

You can have both types of licenses on the same server. I do not
remember how they are assigned other than when they are entered in the
licensing server. 

 

Hope that makes sense.

RE: cheap inventory tracking

[Sam Cayze]

Not sure of anything prebuilt...  But you could probably just use Excel.

 

But if you end up designing your own system, this is a good, scriptable
barcode generator: 

http://www.barcodetools.com/console-app/console-app/barcode-console-appl
ications.html

 

Populate Excel with codes, print the barcodes.  At the end of the event,
scan them back in.  Do your analysis.  Just point your curser in the
cell, and a handheld Bluetooth scanner will 'type' the barcode into the
cell.  There are even a few Excel plug-ins that will generate barcodes.

If I had purchased user licenses, and if I understand what I have read, even

 To amplify what Bob is saying:

 Every client using your server must have a CAL.  CALs are *not*
assigned to servers, they're assigned to clients.

 The client that gets the CAL assigned to it can be a warm body
("user") or a piece of equipment ("device").  But one of those two
must have a CAL assigned it.

 If you have one Terminal Server, with 100 users (each with their own
PC), you need 100 CALs.  Even if you only have *one* person logging on
at a time, you still need 100 CALs.

dyndns for webservers

[Adam Greene]

Hi,

I have a customer who runs a public-facing webserver on his network and 
wants to have Internet provider redundancy, without getting a /24 and 
doing BGP. We can set him up so that if his primary connection fails, he 
will go out through his backup link, but his public IP addresses will 
change when it fails over, in that scenario.


We are considering suggesting dynamic DNS to associate his webserver 
domain name with the changing IP addresses.


Is anyone doing this, and have you found it to be a reliable solution?

Thanks,
adam

We don't do no home at work. That is of course as opposed to work at home...

Yes, we've run into the issues with Linux using RDP for our TS server.

We don't have any Vista, either, so hadn't run into that.

I'm leaning more towards thin clients and virtual desktops all the
time. Solves *so* many problems, even beyond licensing.

RE: TS Licensing

[Free, Bob]

That's because XP had a built-in license, AKA desktop equivalency, for W2K and 
2003 up to April 24, 2003. In addition to the creation of User CAL and External 
Connector options, W2K3 Terminal Server removed Windows desktop equivalency - 
the provision by which the latest version of the Windows desktop OS could be 
used to substitute for a Terminal Server CAL. We had to count how many copies 
we had purchased prior to that date and were given CALs for them. My W2k3 
license server has like 4 kinds of licenses on it.

Bottom line for 2003, if the server is in per user, it checks for the existence 
of a Licensing Service and that's it. At that point they (per-user) are not 
truly accounted for.

I think you meant to say "As long as you have 2000 Pro or XP Pro, no
separate TS license needed".

If you have a home-user Windows OS (Win9x, XP Home, Vista Home, Win7
Home), you need TS CALs.

If you have a non-Windows OS (Mac OS X or *NIX through any of the really
sucky open source RDP clients), you need TS CALs.

If you have a business-oriented Windows OS newer than XP, you need TS
CALs. I distinctly remember that our Vista Business machines consumed a
TS CAL when we were still using a Windows 2000 TS.

Lovely. I knew there was a reason why we haven't switched away from
our Win2k TS server to something newer. With that, as long as you have
XP or newer, no separate TS license needed.

RE: my c: drive shows as a network drive

[jesse-r...@wi.rr.com]

Looks like this is related to terminal services on the 2003 box.  When
logging in at the console, the drive mappings appear as they should be. 
I'm guessing disabling com port mapping may fix this.  I'm just not sure
how it goes this way... ?

Subject: my c: drive shows as a network drive


I didn't build this server, I just noticed this the other day... 

This server has (1) physical disk with 2 partitions according to Disk
Management in Windows 2003.  The C: drive is 12GB (named "Enterprise"), and
D: is 20GB (named "Data").

Yet, when I open My Computer (Details view).  I see...  Under "hard disk
drives" my "Data (D:)" drive as Local Disk in the 'type' column...  and
under "network drives" I see "com1 on 'TSclient' (C:)" with Disconnected
Network Drive in the 'type' column.

Again, I just started looking at this started and I didn't build it. Anyone
ever seen anything like this?

Server performs as expected... it's just throwing me off as to what is
going on.

Last I heard, a guestimate of 10,028 accounts were listed between user names
ararat...@hoymail.com and blando2...@hotmail.com, and that was taken from a
shortlist posted to pastebin.com.

I also heard that there is a ~30,000 list of Yahoo and AOL usernames and

One caveat to keep in mind is you need to be current on your SA to be
able to change from device to user CALs (or vice versa).

Re: Distributed File System

[Sean Martin]

I haven't played with 2008 DFS yet, so bear with me.

It looks like you've setup
\\%servername%\sharesas your DFS
Folder Target (share). The path to that would be
\\domain\shares . In your original post, you stated
that the folder target (shares) does not have any NTFS permissions. I
believe that may be where your problem lies. The user would need to be able
to traverse the directory to access the resources within it.

1) Yes. I believe using Everyone:Full Control is the accepted practice, and
using NTFS to assign granular rights.
2) Yes, the folder target needs to be shared.

The user should be able to access
\\houston\shares\projects\cdonce
the NTFS permissions are setup correctly.

I have successfully (after hours of being bounced around on the phone)

my c: drive shows as a network drive

[jesse-r...@wi.rr.com]

I didn't build this server, I just noticed this the other day... 

This server has (1) physical disk with 2 partitions according to Disk
Management in Windows 2003.  The C: drive is 12GB (named "Enterprise"), and
D: is 20GB (named "Data").

Yet, when I open My Computer (Details view).  I see...  Under "hard disk
drives" my "Data (D:)" drive as Local Disk in the 'type' column...  and
under "network drives" I see "com1 on 'TSclient' (C:)" with Disconnected
Network Drive in the 'type' column.

Again, I just started looking at this started and I didn't build it. Anyone
ever seen anything like this?

Server performs as expected... it's just throwing me off as to what is
going on.

Re: TS Licensing

[Jeff Brown]

Thank you.  Very well put.  BUT, if what I'm reading is correct, with device
cal's when your number is issued, you are done, no more connections are
allowed until one is freed up.  I own 70 device cals.  I have less than 70
users logging in, but many of them log in from 2 or 3 different machines and
we run out because of that.
If I had purchased user licenses, and if I understand what I have read, even
when/if my licenses were exceeded my users would not be denied access to the
terminal server.  It was an unfortunate choice for us.  We intend to be
compliant with our licenses ALL THE TIME, so we aren't just looking for a
way to cheat MS.  If I had purchased per user licenses I would not have a
problem.  I have fewer than 70 users accessing the TS servers I am
absolutely sure.

  To amplify what Bob is saying:

  Every client using your server must have a CAL.  CALs are *not*
assigned to servers, they're assigned to clients.

  The client that gets the CAL assigned to it can be a warm body
("user") or a piece of equipment ("device").  But one of those two
must have a CAL assigned it.

  If you have one Terminal Server, with 100 users (each with their own
PC), you need 100 CALs.  Even if you only have *one* person logging on
at a time, you still need 100 CALs.

Re: SANS Diary: Time to change your hotmail/gmail/yahoo password

Last update I saw was ~20,000 accounts posted online.  And I think you are
correct on the latter.  That seems to be how this story is being pieced
together.

Re: Distributed File System

[Terri Esham]

First, I'm happy to hear you are recovering and really appreciate your
willingness to assist.

When I setup the directories they were initially shared, however, I
replicated them to a new server and, of course, the shared permissions
did not replicate.

Went I went through the DFS wizard, I did create the AD share.

What help I need. 

1.  In order for a user to get access over the network to a shared
folder using DFS, do you have to have the share permissions set?
2.  Is there anyway not to use share permissions to grant access over
the network if it is a DFS share or do you still have to set share
permissions to everyone full and control rights through the NTFS settings?

How would I setup the following DFS shares:

Domain:  Houston
AD Share:  Shares
DFS Folder name:  Projects with a target folder called Joint Use

The Joint User directory has the following subfolders:  AB, CD, ED, EF
.  The subfolders in Joint Use do have share permissions set, but they
do have NTFS permissions set.

Does the Joint User folder have to be shared with everyone full rights? 
Do the subfolders in Joint Use, AB, CD, ED, etc., have to have share
permissions set or is the NTFS permissions enough?

Where would a user who has NTFS permissions to the CD folder under joint
use point there network place to?  \\houston\shares\projects\CD?

Thank you so much.

 




On DFS server:
namespace is test1
ad share is called shares
folder is called projects with target to  joint use

In the target "joint use" there are folders called:  AB, CD, ED, GF -
These folders do not share share permissions set, but they do have

RE: SANS Diary: Time to change your hotmail/gmail/yahoo password

[Carl Houseman]

Last question: Yes, that is the logical conclusion and the only one that
explains how 3 services are affected at once which is not the result of a
security breach at those services.

  So, in other words, if you've given someone else your password, they
probabbly have it?

  How is it this is breaking for all those accounts, all at once, on
multiple services?  Did someone collect credentials via phishing
across several services and over several months, and then post them
all, all at once?

  I suspect the information seen so far is incomplete or inaccurate.

  I meant, "How was this news breaking all at once".  :)

  The report is several thousand accounts, across three major
services, and the news is breaking all at once.  Phishing is effective
but slow, and happens pretty much continuously.  There's more here
than what we know.

  That said, what we don't know could be something as simple as some
attacker just published their list of accumulated stolen credentials
for several services.

Have you tried a Google search for KB958830 or Windows6.1_KB958830-x86.msu? 
Haven't tried the links but seems to be torrents etc. available.

Passwords have certainly been compromised, but I dont think any breaking was
involved.  As far as I can tell from various posts in the white and black
areas, this was all 3rd-party phishing, and no server breaches occured.

  So you changed the IP address and it started working?

  What if you change it back -- does the trouble come back?

  If the trouble comes back, you've almost certainly got something
else on your network using the same IP address.  You probabbly want to
fix that anyway.

  If the trouble stays away, my guess would be something got screwed
up in the embedded controller in the printer, and changing the IP
address reset things to clear the trouble.

Stephen,

 

I downloaded the file from there, but it tells me that it is not
applicable to my system!

 

Don, 

 

   x64!  I would appreciate it! And since my zip scanner is aggressive,
would you rename the file extension to something like .txt? ;)

 

Much appreciated!

RE: TS Licensing

TS Licensing is not a stateful system, a license is either used or it isn't. 
There is no notion of concurrent licensing like Citrix

Ah, this makes a bit more sense.

One way to handle this, I think, is to set timeouts for sessions. I'd
set it for a 4-hour or 8-hour timeout, so that if they are logged in
and idle for longer than that their session gets logged out.

If my understanding is correct, that will only help if you are using "user"
cal's.  I would strongly recommend going that route.

Stephen,

 

I downloaded the file from there, but it tells me that it is not

Don, 

 

   x64!  I would appreciate it! And since my zip scanner is aggressive,
would you rename the file extension to something like .txt? ;)

 

Much appreciated!

It would seem this only affects accounts of those who've fallen
victim to a phishing scheme.  If you haven't entered your
Live/Gmail/Hotmail password on a bogus website, there's no immediate
need to change passwords.

Microsoft has confirmed that thousands of Windows Live

Mainstream media such as the BBC are also carrying the story. Some

UPDATE: Gmail and Yahoo are also affected by the
compromise. Change all passwords on any of these popular webmail sites. 

Some does and don'ts:

*   Do change your passwords on a regular basis

Re: TS Licensing

[Kurt Buff]

Ah, this makes a bit more sense.

One way to handle this, I think, is to set timeouts for sessions. I'd
set it for a 4-hour or 8-hour timeout, so that if they are logged in
and idle for longer than that their session gets logged out.

One more time. I have not had the problem reappear after this and the
end
user can do this themselves.
This works for calendar as well. Just change part 2 to calendar rather
than
address book.

You can try the steps below to see if this resolves the issue.

1)Ask the BlackBerry smartphone user to delete the Desktop [SYNC]
service book from the BlackBerry smartphone, then undelete it by
completing
the following steps: 
a.On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, go to Options >
Advanced Options > Service Book. 
b.Highlight Desktop [SYNC], display the menu and click Delete. 
c.Confirm the delete before exiting the Service Book option. 
d.Navigate back to the Service Book option, display the menu and
click
Undelete. 

Warning: The following procedures will delete either all data, or all
data
and applications on the BlackBerry smartphone. Back up the data prior to
performing the procedure. For instructions, see KB12487.
2)These steps only apply to BlackBerry Device Software 4.5 to 4.7.

To delete the data in the Address Book application over the wireless
network
and reload it from the BlackBerry(r) Enterprise Server, complete the
following
steps:
a.On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Address Book application. 
b.Display the menu and click Options. 
c.Type RSET. 
Note: For BlackBerry smartphones that support SureType(r) technology,
use the
multi-tap input method.

If wireless synchronization of the Address Book application is turned
on,
the following message will appear:
This will erase your Desktop address book, and reload it from your
server.
Continue?
After the data in the Address Book application has been deleted, the
following message will appear:
The Desktop address book has been wiped. It will be repopulated from
your
server.
The Address Book application will be re-populated with Address Book data
from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the following message will be
displayed:
Repopulation of the address book

RE: BES 4.1 syncing

I have had similar problems. (rarely though)
Service: Sprint
It is usually the BB synch service which isn't running (and should be).
Yes - that would seem like nothing would synch, but some still did.
Starting it up (or bouncing the service) has always fixed it for me.

In one case I synced the contacts using desktop manager The other was not my

  For all users on the server?  That's odd.  I've had various cases where a

  I would indeed try removing and re-adding the device -- or more precisely, 
the user.  When BB Manager asks if you want to delete the BlackBerry info, say 
"Yes".  Then re-add the user and reactivate the device.  This is really 
harmless -- no user data should be lost from either server mailbox or handheld. 
 It only discards server metadata and other "behind the scenes" stuff.  (But 
remember, backups are
*always* a good idea.)

  Before you do anything else, check the logs.  Both Windows Event Spewer and 
the BES text logs.  BES logs *gobs* of debug information to the text logs.  
This will often at least point out that there is a problem, even if you don't 
know how to fix it.

Distributed File System

[Terri Esham]

I'm trying to setup a Distributed File System for the first time and am
having a heck of a time getting the permissions setup correctly.  I'm
setting it up on a Windows 2008 DC running in Windows 2008 mode.  I've
created the namespace, the folder under the namespace and a target
folder.  When I setup the namespace, I accepted all the defaults.  The
problem is when I try to access the share by going to
\\domainname\namespacename\namespacefolder, I am prompted for a username
and password even though I have already authenticated to the domain. 

Do I have to grant special permissions to the namespace folder and/or
the target folder.  The target folder's share permissions are everyone
full rights with no NTFS permissions set.  The NTFS permissions are set
on each folder under the target folder directory.  The folders under the
target folder directory do not have any share permissions.Do I have
to grant NTFS permissions of traverse/read, etc., to the target folder
in order to traverse through it to get to the other folders?  Must the
folders under the target folder have share permissions set in addition
to NTFS permissions?

I've had no training in DFS so I'm sure I'm asking some stupid
questions.  However, I really want to set it up right the first time. 
Is there a good book that depicts this or is there a forum you could
point me to?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: BES 4.1 syncing

[Martin Blackstone]

One more time. I have not had the problem reappear after this and the end
user can do this themselves.
This works for calendar as well. Just change part 2 to calendar rather than
address book.

You can try the steps below to see if this resolves the issue.

1)Ask the BlackBerry smartphone user to delete the Desktop [SYNC]
service book from the BlackBerry smartphone, then undelete it by completing
the following steps: 
a.On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, go to Options >
Advanced Options > Service Book. 
b.Highlight Desktop [SYNC], display the menu and click Delete. 
c.Confirm the delete before exiting the Service Book option. 
d.Navigate back to the Service Book option, display the menu and click
Undelete. 

Warning: The following procedures will delete either all data, or all data
and applications on the BlackBerry smartphone. Back up the data prior to
performing the procedure. For instructions, see KB12487.
2)These steps only apply to BlackBerry Device Software 4.5 to 4.7.

To delete the data in the Address Book application over the wireless network
and reload it from the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, complete the following
steps:
a.On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Address Book application. 
b.Display the menu and click Options. 
c.Type RSET. 
Note: For BlackBerry smartphones that support SureType® technology, use the
multi-tap input method.

If wireless synchronization of the Address Book application is turned on,
the following message will appear:
This will erase your Desktop address book, and reload it from your server.
Continue?
After the data in the Address Book application has been deleted, the
following message will appear:
The Desktop address book has been wiped. It will be repopulated from your
server.
The Address Book application will be re-populated with Address Book data
from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the following message will be
displayed:
Repopulation of the address book

Our desktop group has asked me to help them create a USB drive to boot
from in order to install their images. They have one I did for them last
year, and they need to have several more for a roll out.

 

I had a disk crash a month ago and have not reinstalled the software I
used to create one. I am now so frustrated, that I cannot think
straight! Last year, I believe I just used the HP storage disk format
utility, and put an XP disk in the CD drive for the boot files, and it
worked. This year, I have tried several different methods I found online
to no avail.

 

The first question is whether anyone knows a method  that actually
works, and the second is, does anyone know a diskcopy utility that will
duplicate the working USB to the others? The ones I found do not support
USB drives.

Our desktop group has asked me to help them create a USB drive to boot
from in order to install their images. They have one I did for them last
year, and they need to have several more for a roll out.

 

I had a disk crash a month ago and have not reinstalled the software I
used to create one. I am now so frustrated, that I cannot think
straight! Last year, I believe I just used the HP storage disk format
utility, and put an XP disk in the CD drive for the boot files, and it
worked. This year, I have tried several different methods I found online
to no avail.

 

The first question is whether anyone knows a method  that actually
works, and the second is, does anyone know a diskcopy utility that will
duplicate the working USB to the others? The ones I found do not support
USB drives.

Have you tried these step on a Vista or Windows 7 PC
1.diskpart
2.list disk (here you see the number of th usb stick)
3.select disk 3 (number of the usb stick!)
4.clean
5.create partition primary
6.select partition 1
7.active
8.format fs=fat32
9.assign
10.  exit

copy the content of the ISO-image or the CD (BartPE) to the USB-Stick

MagicDisk is 
very useful for mounting ISO-images

Citrix Password Manager

[James Rankin]

HI all

Still having probs getting Citrix Password Manager working...hoping anyone
has any ideas...

I have installed the Password Manager service on a server with IIS,
installed an SSL certificate, and done all the configuration, including the
modifications to Active Directory. I have installed the Password Manager
agent on a new XenApp server, and performed all the necessary user
configuration at that end. However, when I launch a Citrix connection to the
client system, and try to use the "reset password" features before logging
on, I am continually receive the error "you cannot reset your password at
this time because the SSL certificate returned by the server is not trusted
on this computer". Now, I am a complete noob at certificates, but I have
browsed to the web page on the Password Manager service system and installed
the certificate, hoping that this would resolve the issue, but it hasn't.

I found a Citrix forum thread here (
http://forums.citrix.com/message.jspa?messageID=682873) that offers some
hints, but as far as I am aware I have installed the certificate (or is the
root certificate something different? Please let me know if it is!) and I
have made sure that IIS is not using port 443. I still don't seem to be able
to get the darned thing to work at allany help, no matter how small or
tangential, would be gratefully received



Cheers,




JRR
