Depends on the client.  For clients where I have been able to put a "nobody 
runs as an admin user" policy in place I let them go longer.  For clients where 
for business reasons (unusual software, mostly, but sometime inertia) everybody 
is a local admin I'm aggressive about patching.  I still let it go a day or two 
usually.  Needless to say it's more expensive to support those types of 
clients.

Not cost effective IMHO.  In small businesses almost every computer is 
different, different hardware, different software.

Like any insurance policy, AV and patching is a crap-shoot.  Most of the time 
you win.  The few times you lose, in a small business the cost is *_usually_* 
less than the accumulated cost of all the proactive work you would have had to 
do.  In a large business where many people run identical or nearly-identical 
machines the cost of losing the crap-shoot is so high in terms of lost (wo)man-
hours that you don't bet that way.

Re: Copier Hard Drives and sensitive data?

It might, or might not function. Tell the leasing company it needs a
new hard drive.

Whether it violates the agreement depends on the agreement, but I
would say that you should have an agreement that allows it.

RE: xp media

[Mike Hoffman]

Try contacting Gateway and ask to speak to a manager. Part of the OEM agreement 
that they sign makes them responsible for a recovery solution. At some point 
they will have sold off all their old disks to a 3rd party company, so a 
manager should be able to assist you.

If you have a valid license key on the machine then you could try a generic OEM 
CD. Have you looked on the drive to see if there is an install folder on it?

Re: Officially Unemployed

[Matthew W. Ross]

I am very sorry to hear about your unemployment situation, Sherry. Being let go 
from a company after such a long time must be extremely unnerving.

Consolidation of positions I can understand... but "new Cisco network 
equipment" was given as a reason for your being let go? Seriously?

If you purchase a CD with a license key, then just use the license key

Re: xp media

[andy]

As Microsoft said a while ago, let China pirate our software, we will 
figure out how to get them eventually.

Well, the time is now.
I know that our old XP volume license cd's do not work with the 
present license codes on the new computers, well the old ones that 
came installed with XP.  Vista is a different story.
Some XP SP2 license codes do not work with XP cds.
Our volume XP license codes do not work with OEM XP SP2 cds.
It seems that XP OEM license codes work with all OEM cds.

add to the variations, home and professional.

Of course the variations are many, and all are not covered here, but 
with the latest XP released software, it is best to use the cd that 
came with the system.  If the system is older that 4-5 years, I would 
guess that any non-SP XP cd should work.

We have had people take their laptops to china for a sabbatical and 
it did not work because of the geography.  Come to think if it, MS 
had a glitch in their software license input that caused the 
validation software on our systems say it was illegal.  One numbers 
or letters was missing in the license headquarters.

Then again, I found a site online, a few years ago, that indicated 
that a big univeristy had 1,000,000+ or so installed systems in china 
under a volume license key.

Check you local computer flea market, they are usually selling old 
OEM cds for about $10.00 or so.

RE: Hyper-V AVHD mers seqence question.

[David Lum]

Not intentional - I only manually created one of 'em. Weird thing looking at 
the files there was actually one AVHD that pointed to a 1-day later AVHD, and 
rolling it back as indicated (I was on the phone with Microsoft at the time) by 
inspecting the disk properties worked as I have an OS that boots/starts fine - 
the problem is it's the C: drive on the SBS server and it's at the state of 
2/19/2010. I have one other snapshot of C: was created by Cyper-V dated 
Saturday morning, so if I could successfully merge that I wouldn't be risking 
JRNL_WRAP and other errors.

I have all sorts of VHD copies at this point so I have nothing to lose but time 
to try it out - I won't touch the workable OS image.

So here's a question, Hyper-V specific but might apply to VMWare. If you have a 
base VHD, have snapshot 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, can you expect success if you merge  3 
to 2, 2 to 1, 1 to base, and THEN merged 4 into the base VHD?   Merge sequence 
is supposed to be newest to oldest, but what happens if you started at 3 
instead of 4 and then once 3, 2  and 1were merged THEN you added snapshot 4?

Hyper-V does not have to save a snapshot on OS power down - you can change
the shutdown option to shut down the client OS, assuming HV integration
services are installed.   And you want your SBS to use a shutdown script
that stops Exchange services or the shutdown takes a very long time.

It worked, almost. The servers did power off, but while the Hyper-V host
(2008 non-R2) started fine, the SBS 2003 VM did not. talking to Microsoft
snapshots of SBS servers are not supported (I had exactly one). Also
apparently hyper-V will take a snapshot if the host OS is told to power down

I was able to install "UPSMon Plus v2.743" 32-bit software that came with a
UPS on Hyper-V 2008 R2... it doesn't support Windows 2008 x64, but it works.

Or you may be able to get the host to see the UPS as a "battery" and do a
system shutdown due to battery power depleted.

Problem with shutdown scripts and psservice or psexec, they don't run in the
proper context and require a username/password for the target OS.

Meanwhile, for best results, the guest SBS should be the one shutting down
its Exchange services, using a shutdown script established within the guest
SBS.  All that needs is "net stop" commands.

And then let HV integration services do the shutdown of the guest OS, using
the choice you make in the VM's settings to shut down the guest OS.

I also learned the hard way to make separate backups of all VHD's before

RE: One of those days....(Hyper-V love)

[David Lum]

Part of the problem is I can't get the SBS VM to recognize the UPS - and the 
UPS software doesn't suppoer Win2K8. Got any ideas? in the meantine I have the 
UPS hooked to a WinXP box and the XP box triggers the actions.

I did step through the script and cofirm it did shut down each service before 
letting the entire script fly.

It's always something...

Problem with shutdown scripts and psservice or psexec, they don't run in the
proper context and require a username/password for the target OS.

Meanwhile, for best results, the guest SBS should be the one shutting down
its Exchange services, using a shutdown script established within the guest
SBS.  All that needs is "net stop" commands.

And then let HV integration services do the shutdown of the guest OS, using
the choice you make in the VM's settings to shut down the guest OS.

I also learned the hard way to make separate backups of all VHD's before
starting anything risky.

Actually that was part of my script - shut down Exchange services first - a

I'm not sure what I did wrong (if aything), because even if the timing was
tight I have it configured to have the host shut down the guest VM
gracefully. I've learned a lot about manaully merging AVHD's into VHD's.
Sucks that it takes so dan long, and creating copies before merging just
adds more time.

When the Host came up, looking at Hyper-V console it had the guest mode as
"reconnecting", but after 15 minutes I rebooted the host OS as it appeared
to be hung, but now I'm wondering if it was doing some merge -which it
shouldn't have because I have the guest set to start at host startup, so I
say only 50% my fault.

Not sure how to bill the client, but I'll certainly be eating much of this
bill (except the $515 Microsoft off-hours call...).

Hyper-V does not have to save a snapshot on OS power down - you can change
the shutdown option to shut down the client OS, assuming HV integration
services are installed.   And you want your SBS to use a shutdown script
that stops Exchange services or the shutdown takes a very long time.

Hyper-V AVHD mers seqence question.

[David Lum]

So here's a question, Hyper-V specific but might apply to VMWare. If you have a 
base VHD, have snapshot 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, can you expect success if you merge  3 
to 2, 2 to 1, 1 to base, and THEN merged 4 into the base VHD?   Merge sequence 
is supposed to be newest to oldest, but what happens if you started at 3 
instead of 4 and then once 3, 2  and 1were merged THEN you added snapshot 4?

comes with it.

If you can scare up any "real" OEM CD (from friends or family), it *may*
just work as long as the edition (Home/Pro/MCE) is the same.  There are
cases where generic CDs won't work, as I found with an old Toshiba laptop
several years ago (wouldn't activate and MS won't approve the activation
over the phone).

I have a laptop of a friend and its needs to have Windows XP Home 
reinstalled from scratch. They do not have the restore CDs and the restore 
partition doesnt have the required files. I called Gateway to buy restore 
CDs but they only have them for PCs no older than 3 years. Anyone know if 
it's possible to buy an XP home edition media CD and use the license key 
that came from Gateway that's on the laptop with it?

Sherry,

I truly wish I knew of an opening in DFW.  I would recommend you in a
heartbeat.  Like others have said, unwind for a week or so and jump back in
the pool.  This happened to me and I got a much better position about 2 mos
later.  That was ... let me count... 13 yrs ago...  Keep a stiff upper lip /
you can do it / GO SHERRY!

Sorry to hear the news Sherry.

I will 2nd Carl's comments about Monster's resume service.  I used them 8
years ago.  I received much better responses to the Monster written one!
Including for my current position - which ironically I had applied for
earlier with my self written resume.  They also write very nice cover
letters.

Best of luch Sherry.

Ok. Reboot complete. The scan *did* find what it called a "Trojan dropper"
and removed it, and when I rebooted, I was able to remove the SWF file and
the rest of the folders under "content.ie5" so all's well now. :-)

RE: Officially Unemployed

[Erik Goldoff]

Wow, as one that’s been through something similar, I’m sorry because I know
how bad a day it must be.

My advice is to take a week to relax, do nothing and then circle back to
your job hunting after you’ve had time to refresh and decompress.

Well, I was informed this morning that because of consolidation of some
positions and the new Cisco network equipment that was being brought in, my
position was being eliminated.  So, as of 9ish this morning I'm officially
unemployed.  Severance package will end on October 1 this year.  So anyone

Thanks I've tried "runas" and it won't let me delete the files. Running
"wholockme" on at least one of the files results in " does not

Apparently you can get a wiper from Symantec if you open a case with them.  
They won't post it openly.

Endpoint Removal Tool | Symantec Connect

The standard way to get CleanWipe is to raise a call with support.  All 
support engineers should know about it (if they search our internal KB 
they will find it).  I cannot see us posting CleanWipe to the public site 
any time soon due its sheer effectiveness at removing our product.  If 
people need a copy, then please log a call (you can do this online using 
mysupport.symantec.com) - if you haven't had a reply after 24 hours please 
post your case reference here and one of us will follow up.

Please note that we would only recommend using CleanWipe as the final 
solution for removal of our product, the proper uninstallation routines 
should always be tried first.

RE: Malwarebytes enterprise + Viper enterprise same pc / network

[Jeff Cain]

Justino,

I would avoid running active protection with multiple security 
applications. While I have not tested it myself, there is always a chance of 
system instability due to conflicting actions taken by each app on a single 
file or process. I would recommend using VIPRE's AP (as it handles older 
threats as well as the newest) and Malwarebytes for routine scanning to 
compliment your VIPRE scans.

One of those days....(Hyper-V love)

[David Lum]

Yesterday I went to a client to do some DR testig - namely to make sure when 
the UPS lost AC power that a script would run and gracfully power off the 
servers. 

It worked, almost. The servers did power off, but while the Hyper-V host (2008 
non-R2) started fine, the SBS 2003 VM did not. talking to Microsoft snapshots 
of SBS servers are not supported (I had exactly one). Also apparently hyper-V 
will take a snapshot if the host OS is told to power down - or something, as 
there was a snaphot of the 3 logical drives taken at the time the VM was 
attempting to start.

24 hours laster I'm probably 3-4 hours from knowing if all this merging even 
works

[Andrew S. Baker]

*>>**Hard question I am sure, but it’s a risk that has to be either accepted
or rejected.*

Actually, it's a relatively easy question.

Every environment has a current state that is presumed to be "known good" or
"known bad".  (It is possible to be bad, but unknown, but if you don't know,
you will treat it as "known good")

Introducting items into a known good environment automatically increases
risk, and so some consideration should be given to mitigating that risk,
whther that involves testing or letting others go first and checking the
results.

If, however, there is a published exploit that you become aware of, then
your environment has entered "known bad" state.   This means that the risk
of problems achievable by adding the patch or fix has diminished relative to
the risk of doing nothing.

Even then, testing is possible, and may be very desirable -- albeit with
greater urgency.

Re: OT what is the lesson for IT deparments and AV vendors after MCAFEE issue " update"

[Andrew S. Baker]

Two points, Angus

1 -- the Microsoft BSOD update was really a "your machine had a rootkit and
now it's not playing nice with the update".  So, that's not Microsoft's
fault, and it points to an underlying deficiency with rootkit detection.

2 -- Situations where routine testing doesn't easily find the problem are
manageable, as that means that the conditions aren't necessarily common and
might take special circumstances to uncover.   This is very different from
the recent McAfee issue, which could have been tested and identified VERY
easily.

RE: Officially Unemployed

Sorry to hear about that Sherry.  I have been unemployed for 3 months now
and the ego letdown is not easy.  But I have been offered two positions for
Citrix related work in the DFW area and turned both of them down.  Just
don't want to relocate at this time.  I was told the DFW area is booming now
with IT work.  You will land on your feet in no time.

Apparently you can get a wiper from Symantec if you open a case with them.  
They won't post it openly.

The standard way to get CleanWipe is to raise a call with support.  All 
support engineers should know about it (if they search our internal KB 
they will find it).  I cannot see us posting CleanWipe to the public site 
any time soon due its sheer effectiveness at removing our product.  If 
people need a copy, then please log a call (you can do this online using 
mysupport.symantec.com) - if you haven't had a reply after 24 hours please 
post your case reference here and one of us will follow up.

Please note that we would only recommend using CleanWipe as the final 
solution for removal of our product, the proper uninstallation routines 
should always be tried first.

Re: Wireless access point

I have had very good luck with Proxim APs.  They are easy to configure and
have been rock solid in several small deployments.  You can usually find
them on eBay for around $125+-.  Whether or not used gear is appropriate for
your application is another question, but I have them installed at home and

case.

I just bought a handful of AP-4000s from Business Systems Connection, which

Malwarebytes is not an AV.  It targets malware specifically, so yes.  I always 
scan with AV, and Malwarebytes when I have issues.

If you add the VNC service to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network

it should run in safe mode (with networking).

Sorry to hear that, Sherry.  At least, the severance is pretty good. I know a

I'm trying to clean up a user's PC and trying to clean out the "temporary

Re: OT what is the lesson for IT deparments and AV vendors after MCAFEE issue " update"

[justino garcia]

*McAfee has offered to pay for the PC
repairs
of
consumers affected by last week's faulty antivirus update. The problematic
patch falsely identified the SVCHOST.EXE Windows file as a virus, causing
PCs running Windows XP SP3 to crash or enter endless reboot cycles. In a
blog post addressed to "Home or Home Office Consumers", the company offered
to reimburse PC repair expenses, though there was a notable caveat. "If you
have already incurred costs to repair your PC as a result of this issue,
we're committed to reimbursing reasonable expenses," the company said.

RE: OT what is the lesson for IT deparments and AV vendors after MCAFEE issue " update"

[Ziots, Edward]

I agree, 

 

With your situation that probably is a better situation of the "wait and
see" but what happens when the 0day that is being exploited and the
patch comes out of cycle, do you still subscribe to the "wait and see"
and allow the drive by attacks to continue? Hard question I am sure, but
it's a risk that has to be either accepted or rejected. 

 

Also if you are supporting multiple small clients any way to do testing
in the office on VM's before having clients updated accordingly? I like
VM's in undoable mode, for this especially, either that or do snap-shots
before patching and roll-back as needed.

Might be cost-effective for you, if you have enough machines.  But if
you support multiple small-business clients, all of whom have different
AV products chosen before you started supporting them, this is NOT an
option for me.  I have to let the AV products update automatically.

 

Fortunately, the fact that my clients have multiple AV vendors also
means only one or two will be down at the same time due to a bad AV
update*, so I can clean them up and get them back only without having to

Unfortunately, they are all running Windows.  This means if there is a

Perhaps, but most IT departments aren't in a position to actually create 
revenue for their organization. My secondary concern is this is a matter of 
giving redundant technology to users with no determined ROI - other than an 
"I'm cool and hip" factor.

My primary concern though, is regarding AAA issues as this "device" becomes 
more empowered in the environment.

But most importantly I think: Apple has not solved their Jailbreak dilemma.  
Anyone can potentially exploit this device at any time and run any application 
they want without any checks and balances to determine wether or not that has 
occurred; without a direct physical inspection[1].

I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but I see this device as a glorified 
iTouch, and an IT logistical nightmare.

1.  Jailbreaking is easy.  And as someone who personally does it for the 
advantages of running my iPhone how I feel it should work out of the box (a 
topic for a different thread), I can tell you how easy it is to do, as well as 
how seductive it can be when you know there are things you can do to your 
device that will make it more usable - that Apple wont let you do otherwise. As 
information disseminates, the problem only becomes more prevalent.

It's not FUD.

Copiers have hard drives, which often store things that users copy, or
use as document templates.

Trashing the hard drive before disposing of them is good practice,
especially if they're leased.

RE: OT what is the lesson for IT deparments and AV vendors after MCAFEE issue " update"

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

And that was the point of my post. Angus, thanks for stating it differently.

I agree that trusting AV updates blindly isn't ideal, but many entities simply 
don't have the resources (hardware, people, expertise, etc) to be able to 
deploy the kind of testing that is warranted.

(and FWIW I never suggested that AV would prevent data leakage. My point was 
that it plays a part in prevention, IMHO).

Might be cost-effective for you, if you have enough machines.  But if you 
support multiple small-business clients, all of whom have different AV products 
chosen before you started supporting them, this is NOT an option for me.  I 
have to let the AV products update automatically.

Fortunately, the fact that my clients have multiple AV vendors also means only 
one or two will be down at the same time due to a bad AV update*, so I can 
clean them up and get them back only without having to decide among them.

Unfortunately, they are all running Windows.  This means if there is a bad 
Windows Update event, all my clients would be down at the same time, resulting 
in an impossible support situation.  As a result I disable "Automatic Updates" 
and manually roll out updates a few days after MS does so, allowing for the 
rest of the world to be my test-bed ;-).  Explaining why I do this sometimes is 
a little difficult to clients, but every so often MS rolls out a blue-screen 
update (like they did a few months ago :-) ) and I'm vindicated.

IMHO, YMMV.

* False positives happen to many AV vendors.  Last week VIPRE quarantined (or

unquarantining the PDFs (or restoring them from backup) had to be done on a

worked with the NSA when he was in the Marines. He pretty much owns me every 
time he takes a run at me. He has never gotten a domain admin account but he 
always roots a few servers.

How would you like these buys pounding on YOUR network?

= Included Stuff Follows = NSA's boot camp for 
cyberdefense | Geek Gestalt - CNET News

If you're the kind of person who worries about the security of computer 
networks, you should know that the National Security Agency is worrying 
about it too.

Since Tuesday, the NSA has been conducting its 10th annual Cyber Defense 
Exercise, a competition that pits students from a series of military 
academies against each other--and against the competition's leaders at 
NSA--in a bid to see who has the best cyberdefense skills. The idea? To 
"build and defend computer networks against simulated intrusions by the 
National Security Agency/Central Security Services Red Team."

The competition will last until Friday when that Red team, or "red cell," 
as it's known, will cease its attacks on the students' newly-built 
networks. The goal is to help the students learn about the topic of 
Information Assurance, and how it is used to protect the most vital 
information systems in the United States and Canada. As they work, the 
students must defend their networks and offer up consistent reports on 
what they're doing and on the attacks they're identifying.

Geez, give Erik a break here.  He just said he thinks he might be single
again...
>From my experience, the breakup I had after a wedding came out of left field
and was not a pleasant thing to endure, not that breakups are, but this one
was probably the worst.

 That's priceless actually. Hopefully you got it all worked out though.

 I was in North Carolina to attend a wedding, and forgot my laptop power
 supply.  I logged into gmail from my girlfriend's computer ( it did have
 Norton on it ) and within a minute a hundred or more of these spam messages
 flew out using my account.

 I immediately changed passwords and yanked Norton off her system and
 cleaned it up, installed AVG and malwarebytes.

 again my sincere apologies, and yes, embarassing for me.
