Re: Stupid User Tricks
I wouldn't recommend that, personally. Educate the users not to use the Recycle Bin as a storage area, by all means, but it does give them the option to restore deleted files without bothering the helpdesk. However, as most of my users all have networked drives, they don't get the option to use the Recycle Bin anyway. But VSS covers that - however they need education in that too, as in not to restore entire drives back to an earlier time.

RE: Windows 2003 Terminal Services NLB
Right now here is what I got. A Windows 2008 R2 DC as the Terminal Server Licensing Server ( 100 Per-Device CALS). 2 Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Servers, which will become the TS APP servers for this application. I am assuming all I should need to add via Roles is the Remote Desktop Session Host to each Server and then have the vendor do the install of their application, then test RDPing to the box and running the application. ( it's going to be the only application running on the box, so basically in Windows 2003 R2 we set it up on the Terminal Services Connections ( tscc.msc) to load the default application ( The vendors) and login with a single account. I am taking that since my Licensing server is on another Windows 2008 R2 DC, that I don't need to install the Remote Desktop Licensing on these machines. I figure it will prompt me during the Remote Desktop Session Host install for the Licensing Server. The only question is should I install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker? It's just a 2 TS application, and most of the PC's on the floors that are going to utilize it, have 2 RDP icons to the systems as it is now. I would figure if we could get it to 1 RDP ICON going to the Connection Broker, and that machine takes care of the sending the end user to either TS1 or TS2 then that would be the load balancing that we are looking for, and it could probably run on either TS1 or TS2, but if it should be running in its own TS server or non ( TS APP) server as a best practice let me know. Love to hear the feedback ( It's amazing some days how much I have forgotten about M$ architecture, but keep getting dragged back into designs and builds, and torn away from the security architecture I am supposed to be working on.) All that and I did remove the (2) instances of Accordingly from this email before it was sent, and that was all without a CUP of coffee yet. Again, as always thanks for the feedback in advance.

To evade signature-based IPS/IDS, the URLs are generated randomly to be highly dynamic based on the the current time. ( It is tries to evade being seen by IPS/IDS which isn't a good thing, its targeted in its attack and its developers are smart enough to employ techniques that evade normal IDS/IPS implementations) And its CNC channel is over HTTP therefore without deeper inspection of the http traffic this CNC traffic could defintely be going outbound to the bot-herder, or keeper of the botnet without any other inspection and totally be allowed, which is even scarier. And this is all possible because of drive-by exploits targeting the latest in browser flaws ( IE 0 days). Defintely something that could be lurking in a lot of corporate networks, and with the lack of egress filtering and deeper inspection of outbound packets from the Internal Trust Networks, means a lot of machines could be owned and send corporate data out the pipe without the business never even picking up on it.

Intermittant IIS logon issues.
App on a 2003 IIS server that uses the IIS integrated authentication. The app does not do the authentication, the IIS website does. Authentication is back to 2008 R2 DC's. And I think that is the issue, this seems to have just started when I updated the DC's from 2008 to 2008 R2. It is very odd, some users can hit it with integrated authentication and others cannot. For a couple of days at a time those that cannot sometimes can. When the users fail I can see it in the security log, that the user is being checked against the local server account list...rather than the domain. If the user hits the popup with domain/user at that point it authenticates them just fine. Authentication methods on the website appear correct, and have not been changed since the app was setup. Anonymous is allowed and the IUSR account is valid and synced up correctly. Then only Integrated Windows Auth is checked. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

However, the cost of fulfilling a discovery request by retaining files you shouldn't be keeping any longer is probably greater than the cost of allocating employees. As with all things, YMMV.

Re: document sprawl
Ten years ago we operated all file shares from a single 100 GB drive array, but used only about 30% of that. (Almost exact!) Now we have three file servers and a total of about 9 TB available and are using about 3 TB of actual user data, although some shares are replicated via DFS Replication so that's a guess without even looking. (so you and I are running neck and neck here!) Of course we also had only one web server, now we have four. Same with SQL Servers, used to be one and now that is five. They just sprout like weeds!

RE: document sprawl
At one client (55 users) I simply have a ROBOCOPY job that moves files not modified in 5 years to an archive read-only location (cheap 1TB NAS)- that way they can move 'em back to another location modify if necessary, or just took at them. They don't get backed up offsite (cloud) either. These files have their own drive letter (O: for Old!) but otherwise retain the same folder structure, and if they find they need some files for archival purposes and backed up they go into excluded-from-archive-action folders on the production drive(s). Crude, but works well and the customer is satisfied with the results as it was communicated to them what was happening, and why (mainly to not pay the storage for the cloud backup). 1TB RAID1 NAS drives are cheap enough for small clients to justify. Alternative #2 is RAID1 eSATA attached to some box, also inexpensive. There are certainly more eloquent tools and methods, but this is a very inexpensive down-and-dirty fix.

App on a 2003 IIS server that uses the IIS integrated authentication. The app does not do the authentication, the IIS website does. Authentication is back to 2008 R2 DC's. And I think that is the issue, this seems to have just started when I updated the DC's from 2008 to 2008 R2. It is very odd, some users can hit it with integrated authentication and others cannot. For a couple of days at a time those that cannot sometimes can. When the users fail I can see it in the security log, that the user is being checked against the local server account list...rather than the domain. If the user hits the popup with domain/user at that point it authenticates them just fine. Authentication methods on the website appear correct, and have not been changed since the app was setup. Anonymous is allowed and the IUSR account is valid and synced up correctly. Then only Integrated Windows Auth is checked. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.

Standard SSL vs. UCC

RE: Blogging software
Jeffrey is facing the same issue with a W2K Server that runs his Brother MFC. The full package drivers (scanner, particularly, as he has a workaround for the network fax capability) only support W2K and XP, and Jeffrey tried everything he can think of to make the drivers work with Windows Server 2003 - in place upgrades, packaging the registry and file changes on W2K and replaying the updates on WS2K3, even using the tweaknt and ntswitch utilities to try and trick the installer into letting him install on a WS2K3 system that mimics Windows XP.

One of the fellows who is publically out front of the MSRC team a lot in blogs, webcasts, the press and such used to be our TAM(Christopher Budd). Your description nails him to a T. One of the things that impresses me most about the brightest folks I have met over the years at MS is their genuine humility. He was a fantastic TAM and always striving for improvement.

Also something that the presenter talked about a lot, is communication, ( Of course his quit worrying and call everyone was quite hilarious, until you actually realize on some of these vulnerabilities ( Especially the ATL Templates) you basically have to notify and call EVERYONE...

I'm actually surprised no one else has commented. I say it all the time, perspective is an interesting thing. The article and the video really puts into perspective the behemoth of a task that Microsoft has in researching, writing, testing, and rolling out patches and updates for all of their applications and operating systems over the course of their 10 year security support lifecycle. I particularly chuckled over Dustin's comment, What were you doing in 2000? How many of you were in college? Using dial-up? In high school? It is REALLY easy for those of us in the trenches to criticize Microsoft for doing a bad job of x, y, and z, but most of us really have very little real idea of what is involved (or we don't take the time to think about it because we're stuck in our own little world with our own problems). Releasing an update that will force the reboot of 600+ MILLION PCs across the globe is just mind boggling.

RE: Windows 2003 Terminal Services NLB
---I am taking that since my Licensing server is on another Windows 2008 R2 DC, that I don't need to install the Remote Desktop Licensing on these machines. Correct. My Session Host (aka TS APP) servers only have the Session Host role installed (SH server 1 is also my license server so it does have the licensing role installed). If you have the resources yes I'd throw the broker in, it talks to the SH servers and makes each incoming login request go to the least-busy SH server. Dave From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:ezi...@lifespan.org] Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 5:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 2003 Terminal Services NLB Right now here is what I got. A Windows 2008 R2 DC as the Terminal Server Licensing Server ( 100 Per-Device CALS). 2 Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Servers, which will become the TS APP servers for this application. I am assuming all I should need to add via Roles is the Remote Desktop Session Host to each Server and then have the vendor do the install of their application, then test RDPing to the box and running the application. ( it's going to be the only application running on the box, so basically in Windows 2003 R2 we set it up on the Terminal Services Connections ( tscc.msc) to load the default application ( The vendors) and login with a single account. I am taking that since my Licensing server is on another Windows 2008 R2 DC, that I don't need to install the Remote Desktop Licensing on these machines. I figure it will prompt me during the Remote Desktop Session Host install for the Licensing Server. The only question is should I install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker? It's just a 2 TS application, and most of the PC's on the floors that are going to utilize it, have 2 RDP icons to the systems as it is now. I would figure if we could get it to 1 RDP ICON going to the Connection Broker, and that machine takes care of the sending the end user to either TS1 or TS2 then that would be the load balancing that we are looking for, and it could probably run on either TS1 or TS2, but if it should be running in its own TS server or non ( TS APP) server as a best practice let me know. Love to hear the feedback ( It's amazing some days how much I have forgotten about M$ architecture, but keep getting dragged back into designs and builds, and torn away from the security architecture I am supposed to be working on.)

My R2 license server is on a Session Host system and when I ran the license tool on the other RDSH's they found it. I have MS apps + Adobe reader on my RDS Session Host systems and from what I read .MSI's don't even require you to change into install mode, although I recommend it for doing other configs since install mode basically sets the Default User settings. Setting up one or two RDS systems is easy. The broker dude adds complexity and web access can do funny things like show multiple icons for one app if you manage to get really twisted...not that I did that myself or anything... :). If you end up using a gateway and broker pay attention to what systems need to be in what security groups on other systems.

Any help here would be appreciated if anyone can point me in the right
direction. My Google-fu is failing me, and so is my USB removal-fu. I've run
into something similar before with a USB printer, but I don't remember the full
fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.
Here goes.
I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal laptop
using nlite. Confession - I don't remember ALL of my tweaks within nlite,
however everything except this one thing seems to be working perfectly fine.
Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing numerous
other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS updates, my wife
plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation specifically warns against.
I've done this on other XP machines and the camera was recognized just fine, at
least for the purpose of pulling images off, which is really all we needed
anyway...
Only this time it didn't work.
In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over Canon Digital Camera
under Other Devices (not under Imaging Devices, where it appears on another
XP laptop that I've never installed the drivers on). I called Canon, and their
tech support basically said it was a problem with my computer and was not their
problem (but, to their credit, they did try to help me, unsuccessfully).
I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6...} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110...}

Also something that the presenter talked about a lot, is communication, ( Of course his quit worrying and call everyone was quite hilarious, until you actually realize on some of these vulnerabilities ( Especially the ATL Templates) you basically have to notify and call EVERYONE...

I'm actually surprised no one else has commented. I say it all the time, perspective is an interesting thing. The article and the video really puts into perspective the behemoth of a task that Microsoft has in researching, writing, testing, and rolling out patches and updates for all of their applications and operating systems over the course of their 10 year security support lifecycle. I particularly chuckled over Dustin's comment, What were you doing in 2000? How many of you were in college? Using dial-up? In high school? It is REALLY easy for those of us in the trenches to criticize Microsoft for doing a bad job of x, y, and z, but most of us really have very little real idea of what is involved (or we don't take the time to think about it because we're stuck in our own little world with our own problems). Releasing an update that will force the reboot of 600+ MILLION PCs across the globe is just mind boggling.

RE: integra telecom support in Seattle Portland
I've dealt with them in various incarnations since they were Oregon Telecom, and have no complaints. We've got POTS in 3 sites and 3 PTP T-1 lines from them. When there's a problem, it's almost always with the Qwest hardware the services arrive on, and they've been very good at lighting fires under Qwest service/support to get things back up and running. A few years ago, I was having some problems with the T-1s and Qwest swore that the problem was our router. The Integra techs sent us a router to use as a known good device for testing purposes, at no charge, allowing us to prove that it wasn't us. I did have an issue with some PTP T-1 provisioning, but my networking ignorance was a significant factor in that (they gave me what I asked for; I didn't know I was asking for the wrong thing, and neither did they).

Subject: OT: Canon Rebel XTi not recognized by XP Pro
Any help here would be appreciated if anyone can point me in the right
direction. My Google-fu is failing me, and so is my USB removal-fu. I've run
into something similar before with a USB printer, but I don't remember the full
fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.
Here goes.
I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal laptop
using nlite. Confession - I don't remember ALL of my tweaks within nlite,
however everything except this one thing seems to be working perfectly fine.
Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing numerous
other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS updates, my wife
plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation specifically warns against.
I've done this on other XP machines and the camera was recognized just fine, at
least for the purpose of pulling images off, which is really all we needed
anyway...
Only this time it didn't work.
In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over Canon Digital
Camera...#157; under Other Devices...#157; (not under Imaging
Devices...#157;, where it appears on another XP laptop that I've never
installed the drivers on). I called Canon, and their tech support basically
said it was a problem with my computer and was not their problem (but, to their
credit, they did try to help me, unsuccessfully).
I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6...} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110...}
. several reboots and a couple of repeat attempts later, still no dice.
Anyone got an idea of where I can go that I've missed?

Are all your USB root hub's installed correctly?
It should as you mention just show up as a storage device without any Cannon

Find the motherboard/device driver kit for you desktop and install that.

Any help here would be appreciated if anyone can point me in the right
direction. My Google-fu is failing me, and so is my USB removal-fu. I've run
into something similar before with a USB printer, but I don't remember the full
fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.
Here goes.
I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal laptop
using nlite. Confession - I don't remember ALL of my tweaks within nlite,
however everything except this one thing seems to be working perfectly fine.
Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing numerous
other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS updates, my wife
plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation specifically warns against.
I've done this on other XP machines and the camera was recognized just fine, at
least for the purpose of pulling images off, which is really all we needed
anyway...
Only this time it didn't work.
In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over Canon Digital Camera
under Other Devices (not under Imaging Devices, where it appears on another
XP laptop that I've never installed the drivers on). I called Canon, and their
tech support basically said it was a problem with my computer and was not their
problem (but, to their credit, they did try to help me, unsuccessfully).
I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6...} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110...}
. several reboots and a couple of repeat attempts later, still no dice.
Anyone got an idea of where I can go that I've missed?

into something similar before with a USB printer, but I dont remember the
full fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.
Here goes.
I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal laptop
using nlite. Confession - I dont remember ALL of my tweaks within nlite,
however everything except this one thing seems to be working perfectly fine.
Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing numerous
other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS updates, my
wife plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation specifically warns
against. Ive done this on other XP machines and the camera was recognized
just fine, at least for the purpose of pulling images off, which is really
all we needed anyway
Only this time it didnt work.
In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over Canon Digital Camera
under Other Devices (not under Imaging Devices, where it appears on
another XP laptop that Ive never installed the drivers on). I called Canon,
and their tech support basically said it was a problem with my computer and
was not their problem (but, to their credit, they did try to help me,
unsuccessfully).
I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6
} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110
}
. several reboots and a couple of repeat attempts later, still no dice.
Anyone got an idea of where I can go that Ive missed?

Have you tried Nirsoft's USBDeview? From the website:
USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices that currently
connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you previously
used.
For each USB device, exteneded information is displayed: Device
name/description, device type, serial number (for mass storage devices), the
date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, and more...
USBDeview also allows you to uninstall USB devices that you previously used,
disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your computer, as
well as to disable and enable USB devices.

Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

(In device manager, View -- Show Hidden Devices)
Look at all the dimmed USB and other devices, if any. Uninstall any devices
that appear to be related to the camera.
You could also try deleting everything under the USB node; sometimes that
resolves issues, even if the problem is with a specific device. If you use
a USB mouse or keyboard, though, doing that will disable the mouse or
keyboard until you reboot the system.

RE: document sprawl
We think you can automatically send them warnings when they are close to their quotas. You also have leverage to negotiate with them at that point - an extra 10% increase in exchange for deleting old files, and you know what the quota was before, and can tell whether they are fulfilling their end of the agreement.

RE: document sprawl
Just don't shove the rare earth magnets up your nose! :-) I was at a Christian youth conference (DCLA, for anyone familiar) a few years back where they were selling (among many, many other things of varying significance) magnetic flashing LED ear rings about 3/8 in diameter. They looked really cool, until a kid decided to make one into a nose ring. Well, that in and of itself was fine, except for the fact that they then got the bright idea to put one on the other nostril... Needless to say, I'm sure it did not end comfortably, but I do know that it did end in the ER. Jonathan L.

*Subject*: OT: Canon Rebel XTi not recognized by XP Pro
Any help here would be appreciated if anyone can point me in the right
direction. My Google-fu is failing me, and so is my USB removal-fu. I’ve run
into something similar before with a USB printer, but I don’t remember the
full fix, or even if any of that knowledge would carry over.
Here goes.
I formatted and reinstalled a slipstreamed XP with SP3 on my personal
laptop using nlite. Confession - I don’t remember ALL of my tweaks within
nlite, however everything except this one thing seems to be working
perfectly fine.
Before I installed the software for my camera, but after installing
numerous other things, not to mention AV, Open Office, and all the MS
updates, my wife plugged the camera in, which Canon documentation
specifically warns against. I’ve done this on other XP machines and the
camera was recognized just fine, at least for the purpose of pulling images
off, which is really all we needed anyway…
Only this time it didn’t work.
In Dev Manager I get a yellow exclamation mark over “Canon Digital
Camera…#157; under “Other Devices…#157; (not under “Imaging Devices…#157;,
where it appears on another XP laptop that I’ve never installed the drivers
on). I called Canon, and their tech support basically said it was a problem
with my computer and was not their problem (but, to their credit, they did
try to help me, unsuccessfully).
I removed the device from within Device Manager, and poked around in the
registry, removing class keys {6BDD1FC6…} and USB keys {Vid_04a9Pid_3110…}
. several reboots and a couple of repeat attempts later, still no dice.
Anyone got an idea of where I can go that I’ve missed?

RE: document sprawl
They ignore the warnings. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Re: Canon Rebel XTi not recognized by XP Pro
Perhaps a lack of hub or device power? Try plugging in to each available
USB port to see if the behavior changes.

From a command prompt:
Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
Devmgmt.msc
(In device manager, View à Show Hidden Devices)
Look at all the dimmed USB and other devices, if any. Uninstall any
devices that appear to be related to the camera.
You could also try deleting everything under the USB node; sometimes that
resolves issues, even if the problem is with a specific device. If you use
a USB mouse or keyboard, though, doing that will disable the mouse or
keyboard until you reboot the system.

RE: Intermittant IIS logon issues.
Anonymous is allowed? So you are simultaneously denying IUSR account access to the resources? IE is configured to send credentials automatically? Or users are failing to enter Domain\Username? Cheers Ken From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Saturday, 4 December 2010 12:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Intermittant IIS logon issues. App on a 2003 IIS server that uses the IIS integrated authentication. The app does not do the authentication, the IIS website does. Authentication is back to 2008 R2 DC's. And I think that is the issue, this seems to have just started when I updated the DC's from 2008 to 2008 R2. It is very odd, some users can hit it with integrated authentication and others cannot. For a couple of days at a time those that cannot sometimes can. When the users fail I can see it in the security log, that the user is being checked against the local server account list...rather than the domain. If the user hits the popup with domain/user at that point it authenticates them just fine. Authentication methods on the website appear correct, and have not been changed since the app was setup. Anonymous is allowed and the IUSR account is valid and synced up correctly. Then only Integrated Windows Auth is checked. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
