Re: Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

[Steven Peck]

Why would they be creating random shares?

We have a DFS root and shares we create now, but even before DFS, every
share has a _r and _m (read and modify) group
created.  Support Center and Security groups here add/remove people to or
from those groups to grant / remove access.  We do NOT grant shares below
shares.  The Description field of the share and the groups are populated
with an 'owner' and backup name from the business group.  When access or
audit questions arise, query them.

Now, there are 'non-standard' shares/groups out there.  We arbitrarily fix
them to standard when we find them.

No access to the servers needed.

RE: Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

[Ziots, Edward]

The only folks with full control on the folders, is the local
administrators, the local administrators are highly restricted to about
four people in this new arrangement, therefore the helpdesk folks
wouldn't even have full control on the underlying NTFS structure because
even then they could basically delete or destroy the existing file
structure accordingly, which is what we don't want. 

 

Again when I use the MMC snapin Shared Folders and point it to the
Windows 2008 R2 server in question, as a Power user, I can't see the
folders on the server ( Because power users don't have access to the
root shares C$, D$, etc etc) therefore they can create the directory
structure, before they create the share which creates a problem for
them. I can grant them RDP access to the server as Power users and they
can create the share from there accordingly, with the Shared Folders
Snap-in without an issue. 

 

If they are administrators, they can do it remotely and on the server,
but again, due to all the problems and misconfiguration in the past, and
issues we have had to clean up, might as well take the reigns back,
limit the access and manage it accordingly, so its done right and
audited accordingly. 

 

Hopefully that clears stuff up.

I apply ntfs permissions through windows shares.  My daily user account

RE: Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

[Ziots, Edward]

I am not sure, I can tell you if I login to the server as a Power user,
I can create the share, and permissions accordingly as needed. If I try
this via shared folders snapin remotely, I can't see the drives
accordingly, nor create a folder, etc etc, as a power user of the
system. Compmgmt.as msc snapin same deal. 

 

Actually Creator Owner has, Full Control on the directory that is
created, but I will see if that translates to having access at the
share/NTFS when I create it and grant them the appropriate rights as
compared to them creating it, via power user rights.

RE: Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

[Ziots, Edward]

Share permissions and file permissions, they usually access both through
Shared folders snapin, but I just ripped Admin rights away from them in
Windows 2008 R2 systems accordingly, and they can't do it that way
anymore which means retraining, they claim on their part. Its been all a
mess for a while and its time to just fix the issue, and do ABE or
manage the permissions ourselves, so as to keep to the standards.

I would manage the permissions myself. If you don't want them to be
admins, you shouldn't be making them power users either.

 

Power Users are Admins who have not made themselves admins yet

Subject: Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

 

I am trying as a method of locking down my Win2k8 and below servers is
removing administrative rights wherever I can to the minimal level, I
have setup my helpdesk folks to be Power users on one of my Windows 2008
R2 boxes, and if they login local to the box, they can create a
directory and share local on the server, using MMC etc etc, ( I tested
as a domain user as a power user) but if I run the MMC Shared folders
snapin as the Power User from my XP System ( I made the account full
admin on the workstation) when I try and take a look at the drives, via
the snapin it doesn't allow it when it's a Power user on the server,  I
know if I was to make the group or the test user a local administrator (
which I don't want to do, because the keep screwing up permissions right
and left) then they will see the drives and create folder etc etc
accordingly. 

 

Any ideas, How I can get this working with Power User only rights
accordingly?  Maybe using additional share on the root of the drives to
get them access accordingly? Either that or take care of all the
permissions myself.

[Jonathan Link]

Reread the initial email.

If someone from the server group creates the share, and the helpdesk group
has full control on the NTFS permissions they can change permissions from
the share, no?

Windows 7 and unidentified networks

[Tom Miller]

Folks,
 
We are using XenDesktop here for Windows 7.  We have the PC images one two 
neworks:  one is private and one is our internal network.  The issue I am 
seeing is that Windows 7 keeps calling these networks "unidentified" and won't 
let me connect to any of the resources.
 
What's the solution for this?  I need to have these networks trusted and my 
users not constantly peppered by Windows 7 questions from the Action/Network 
center.  Possible to control via GPO?
 
 
Thanks!

Simple: Draw boundaries and stick to them - that's EXACTLY what I did. The 
place I just dropped? My wife's employer (and she's the office manager), I 
basically told them the same thing I said here - "I have tried but it's just 
not going to jive with my current business model and capabilities". I would 
rather sever the tie ahead of time instead of underperform and give the

Not to hijack this thread - but I will - I just dropped the only client with a 
peer-to-peer network because the difference in managing 6 systems with no 
server is enough that I do not find it time-effective to figure out the "peer 
to peer" equivalents because none of my other clients nor %DAYJOB% require that 
skill. Have a server? Give me a call. Peer-to-peer? Call a skilled home user or 
some college dude.

I remember the first time I tried to clean a virus from XP Home OS - had never 
used that OS as I'd always seen the Pro versions "hey, how can I get to

which are really caused by name resolution problems."

 He mentioned he can ping the other computers by name, which suggests
it probabbly isn't a name resolution issue.

 Also, AFAIK, you can't run a WINS server on Windows unless you have
one of the "Server" flavors of Windows, and he doesn't.  If he had a
Windows Server it would automatically get preferential treatment in
browser elections, so he prolly wouldn't be dealing with browser wars
in the first place.

 (Linux/Samba can also act as a WINS server.   You also get explict
control over all the NetBIOS name resolution and browse and election
parameters, which can come in handy.)

Re: I hate peer-to peer so much... (was RE: Cant Browse workgroup)

[Jonathan Link]

Couple of points.
The world is always smaller than you percieve it to be.
Rants on an essentially public list are not a good idea.  I have googled
myself and seen posts I've made to this list appear elsewhere.
Favors to management may not be known by all members of management.  Misuse
of company resources is typically seen as a serious offense.  My guess is
this MoM has some financial interest at some level.

Trying to limit my helpdesk to Power User rights,

[Ziots, Edward]

I am trying as a method of locking down my Win2k8 and below servers is
removing administrative rights wherever I can to the minimal level, I
have setup my helpdesk folks to be Power users on one of my Windows 2008
R2 boxes, and if they login local to the box, they can create a
directory and share local on the server, using MMC etc etc, ( I tested
as a domain user as a power user) but if I run the MMC Shared folders
snapin as the Power User from my XP System ( I made the account full
admin on the workstation) when I try and take a look at the drives, via
the snapin it doesn't allow it when it's a Power user on the server,  I
know if I was to make the group or the test user a local administrator (
which I don't want to do, because the keep screwing up permissions right
and left) then they will see the drives and create folder etc etc
accordingly. 

 

Any ideas, How I can get this working with Power User only rights
accordingly?  Maybe using additional share on the root of the drives to
get them access accordingly? Either that or take care of all the
permissions myself.

Not to hijack this thread - but I will - I just dropped the only client with a 
peer-to-peer network because the difference in managing 6 systems with no 
server is enough that I do not find it time-effective to figure out the "peer 
to peer" equivalents because none of my other clients nor %DAYJOB% require that 
skill. Have a server? Give me a call. Peer-to-peer? Call a skilled home user or 
some college dude.

I remember the first time I tried to clean a virus from XP Home OS - had never

RE: Citrix XenAppPrep

[Ken Cornetet]

I use the cloning tool from citrixtools.net

Here's the steps that I do:

Create template by shutting down an app server and cloning to template. The 
only thing I do special at this point is to delete the SMS (Config Manager) 
certifificates. Not applicable unless you use Config Manager.

Deploy template using a customization configuration.

Power up new virtual and let customization do its thing (sysprep).

Log in after reboot. At this point there is no network connectivity. Run the 
Citrix.net cloning tool and tell it to not automatically start services, and 
tell it to prepare for normal cloning.

Verify that the cloning tool fixed the DSN files in C:\program 
files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture (it usually does) and that it 
changes the MAC address in the C:\program files\Citrix\System32\ctxsta.config 
file (it usually doesn't)

Join virtual to domain, do patching, etc.

Run Citrix.net cloning tool and tell it to start the services.

Reboot. New server should show up in AMC.

Of course the solution needs to be free as well  :)

Hi,

 

We're implementing that here. I'll get a list of SPNs you need.

 

You're actually configuring the ability of the file server to
impersonate the end user to the DC. Part of this is to be able to find
out what the user's settings are (e.g. where is their roaming profile,
so that the file server can then go load the EFS cert)

 

Cheers

Ken

Subject: Win2K8 remote-EFS Constrained Delegation

 

EFS of remote shares requires the file server be trusted for delegation
(along with the user being allowed for delegation as well). And you need
to have a PKI in place.

 

Simply delegating the entire fileserver works, but can be a security
issue.

 

Constrained delegation is available in Win2K3 and above to deal with
this, but there is a dearth of info that I can find that indicates what
SPN's would need to specifically be delegated to get this to work.

 

I found one post where the following was suggested:

 

On the file server-

cifs; ldap; protectedstorage (add for each DC)

HOST (add for your cert authority)

 

 

Now, this SEEMS to work for me, but I'm not sure if this is only because
I had previously delegated the entire fileserver and there's a setting
"left over". (I've gpupdate'd my file server and client test machine).

 

I guess I'm somewhat surprised at this recommendation, because even
though I'm performing these delegations on the file-server AD object,
I'm actually specifying services on other machines

 

Thoughts or pointers to where this might be explained more fully?

 

Thanks.

Anyone using the XenAppPrep tool to deploy Citrix XenApp servers from VMWare
4 templates? Does it seem to work OK in this configuration, or is it purely
for use with the Citrix Provisioning Services?

TIA,



JRR

re: Does Windows 2008 R2 Server Core support running applications in Compatibility Mode?

[Christopher Bodnar]

If any one is interested: 

I opened a case for this with MS, to get an official answer. Here is their 
reply:
***
Issue Definition:

Does W2k8 R2 Server Core support running applications in Compatibility mode?

Answer:

Application server is not one of the intended/supported roles. Here is a list 
of roles that windows 2008 R2 core supports. 
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-core-installation.aspx

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact 
me.

***

I'm a little disappointed in this. So it's inferred that it's not a supported 
feature since Application server is not a supported "role"?

RE: Old .Net App Broken

[Michael B. Smith]

Well, you very well may be confusing yourself.

If the app broke when you installed .NET 4, just remove .NET 4. Lots of things 
seem to be breaking after .NET 4 gets installed...

Dunno yet, it works with .Net 2sp2 but anything past that it breaks?
I had hoped recompiling it under 4 would at least enumerate any errors in code 
that were no longer valid as some stuff does change with newer frameworks as 
per an MS doc...

How is recompiling the app going to fix your problem? What actually is broken?

I have an old >net 2.0sp2 'ish era app that finally stopped working. I have the 
source from the original dev.
As I don't know sh!t about programming, looking at the files in vi I guess they 
are VB.NET, I don't have a compiler, shall I just tell the big wigs I need 
Visual Studio Pro (I think that's the cheapest version) and open, then build it 
and touch wood? Someone I know mentioned a compiler I can get free from MS to 
simply build this, true?

Thanks guys:)

  Explain "just crashes".  Error message?

  Have you tried doing a "Repair and compact" on the database?  I
would expect a conversion to do the same, but maybe not.

Any time I've come across this, it usually turned out to be one of the 
following:

1. Corrupt database
2. Security settings in Macro Security
3. User profile issue

Can you restore from the backup and see if that opens?

RE: sending large files

[John Aldrich]

Yeah. FTP isn't really good for us..most of the people who would need it are
not highly computer literate like us. J Give 'em a link they can click on
and they're good. Tell 'em to go to ftp.whatever And they're lost. J

  You just need a surcharge for non-server environments.  Either they
see the light, they quit on you, or they make it worth your while.  :)

MS Access 2003 Issues

[Robert Jackson]

We are having an issue currently where we try to open an Access 2000
database with MS Access 2003 - it just crashes. We've tried converting
said database direct to 2003. Again when we attempt to open, it crashes.
The databases uses forms and embedded VB. The O/S of the server is
Windows 2003 R2 Std Server running Terminal Services.

Anyone come across this before?

Re: I hate peer-to peer so much... (was RE: Cant Browse workgroup)

[Jonathan Link]

I can usually convince a business to get a server.  Usually telling a
business that they will experience more downtime (individually or
collectively) and have increased support costs due to extra time required to
diagnose issues like the one that kicked this discussion off.

Note, you didn't hijack the thread, if you rename it, it's not a hijack.

Not to hijack this thread - but I will - I just dropped the only client with a 
peer-to-peer network because the difference in managing 6 systems with no 
server is enough that I do not find it time-effective to figure out the "peer 
to peer" equivalents because none of my other clients nor %DAYJOB% require that 
skill. Have a server? Give me a call. Peer-to-peer? Call a skilled home user or 
some college dude.

In this case it was ok since it was a stand alone DC.  Just my home
network with exchange and few pc's.

So I shut down a DC VM yesterday and go to turn it back on and get a
hosed ntoskrnl.exe upon boot.  Great, another learning experience
brought to you by Tuesday, the new Monday.  Restore the VM Backup from
day before and still have the error.  So the virtual disk has been
fragged for a while.  I try booting off install iso and restoring the
file and get errors trying to restore the corrupt file, so the disk is
really in bad shape.  Last ditch effort I attach the virtual disk to
another server and run chkdsk on it.  Viola, It finds a ton of file and
index errors and fixes them.  Detach, power on DC and it boots up with
no problem.  So if I would have done that in the first place it would
have taken me an whole five minutes.  So the moral of the story is don't
assume your backups are good.  Even if you can restore them, if you
haven't booted them then you can't be sure, what a pain.

RE: I've got EMC stumped for the moment and can't access my CIFS shares...

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

Exactly...

As for searching or asking on powerlink...Considering that I was thinking that 
somehow this might end up being a Windoze issue outside of the Celerra, and 
knowing how active this list was, combined with already having Level 1 support 
from EMC on the phone and being classified as "data Unavailable" with a Sev1 
case, I figured I was better off posting on this list instead of Powerlink. ;-)

RE: I've got EMC stumped for the moment and can't access my CIFS shares...

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

Looks like we have it figured out... apparently even though the Celerra states, 
"done" when you stop the CIFS services, it isn't really... you have to *WAIT* a 
little while before starting them again...

*SIGH*

RE: I've got EMC stumped for the moment and can't access my CIFS shares...

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

For server2 it says what it should - it lists our two DCs and their respective 
IP Addresses. For server3, which is presently in standby, it says:

[nasad...@nas_control dump]$ server_cifs server_3
server_3 :
Cifs NOT started
Security mode = NT
Max protocol = NT1
I18N mode = ASCII
Home Directory Shares DISABLED

Enabled interfaces: (All interfaces are enabled)

Disabled interfaces: (No interface disabled)

Re: Old .Net App Broken

[Jonathan Link]

I think I see where the error is.
Apps compiled under a paricular version of the Famework continue to need
that version of the framework.  One of our mainline business apps requires
.Net 1, .Net 2 and .Net 3.5 to function.  You app may not compile under .Net
4 if the libraries it is using don't exist in that framework.  It's a
feature, not a bug, this is the way .Net is supposed to function.

Re: OT: RE: Probablems upgrading Vipre Home

I've got version 4.0. No plans for an upgrade. Performance of this version
has been a vast improvement over previous incarnations. Requires much less
attention and expenditure.

I've got EMC stumped for the moment and can't access my CIFS shares...

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

Hoping perhaps someone on the list has run into this. At the moment I'm about 
to fall asleep in front of my laptop...

Situation...had a NAS checkup post a warning that it couldn't ping a DC with an 
APIPA address named *SMBSERVER. The APIPA address was 169.254.2.238.

Discovered that one of my DCs had a NIC enabled but not connected, and guess 
what? DHCP was enabled on the NIC and it had the address of 169.254.2.238...

So, disabled the NIC, ran a nas_checkup on my NS-20 Celerra, and still had the 
error. I stopped and restarted the CIFS services (per EMC support) and the 
nas_checkup came back clean. (YAY!) Then tried to connect to CIFS and no 
dice... (BOO!)

I've checked every service I can think of to check, even restarted a few. 
Re-enabled the NIC to no avail... I do know that the APIPA address for the 
disabled NIC is still in the registry, but at this point I don't think that 
matters, because the Celerra theroretically doesn't know about it anymore. The 
Celerra can ping both of my DCs just fine, and I can ping my NetBIOS CIFS share 
server names no problem. However when I try to connect to 
\\servername or \\IP-address, I get:


"No network provider accepted the given network path."

Going on 5 hours with no CIFS shares, and this is from both windows 2003 DCs, 
and two different member servers, one Windows 2003 and one Windows 2000.

Anyone got any ideas?
