RE: web and email hosting

2012-06-21 Thread Jimmy Tran
They currently have Verio and they suck.  Lots of spam is coming
through.  There really isn't a budget at the moment but I think $5 per
user per month is reasonable?  There will be about 10 users that will
need mailboxes.  The website goes down constantly so we will be moving
that over as well.

 

Is that enough detail?

Subject line pretty much says it. We have 600 employees and an IT staff of 
50-ish (including developers) and I swear all 50 can join systems to the 
domain. Certainly 10 of them can and that seems like a lot.

P.S.: A smart lawyer once told me there are two things everyone should
know about the law:

(1) The law doesn't have to be fair
(2) The law doesn't have to make sense

  Always keep those two facts in mind, or you may be unpleasantly surprised.

  Very few, if any of us here are lawyers, so this is prolly the wrong
forum.  But since many of us (myself certainly) enjoy playing armchair
lawyer:

  Generally: If one is acting as the agent of another entity, that
other entity is often held liable for the agent's actions.  If, while
acting on behalf of Conglomco, I cheat some orphans out of their
gruel, Conglomco gets some/all of the blame.  How much depends on the
circumstances, the specific laws, and likely jurisdictional variation.

  For this case in particular: If Conglomco expects me to answer the
phone and operate a motor vehicle at the same time, Conglomco better
be prepared to be held liable for that expectation.

  Note that just because Conglomco incurs some liability, that doesn't
mean I incur no liability.  E.g., in the US, if Conglomco has me pour
toxic waste into the river, Conglomco can get in trouble, but I,
personally can also get in trouble.  Environmental statutes apply to
both.

  Again, law can very wildly between jurisdictions, so just because
the law here says something, that doesn't mean the law there works the
same way.

If Joe Salesman is driving his personal vehicle on company business and gets

(irrelevant if a phone is involved). If Joe is driving a company vehicle there 
is no question the company is at fault.

Yes, that is how it works. Don't have to like it, don't have to agree with it,

Absolutely not. As long as the engine is running and the transmission is in

"Do you believe you company should be liable for injuries while driving and

And while I don't know how many attended this webinar (might have been 20,

Put into the worst case, if I you are using some device while driving for my

attention to driving? If that's the case as a business owner I reserve the 
right to disable forward motion of the vehicle any time you want to use said 
corporate device.

Is there some scenario I am overlooking where it's not the drivers' primary job 
to be in control of their vehicle?

RE: How many in your company can join systems to domain

2012-06-21 Thread Free, Bob
To each his own but you can do that just fine with ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota 
set to zero.  The value of ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota is actually rather 
irrelevant with properly delegated permissions.

We have a LOT of OUs with tens of thousands of computer objects and zero in the 
default container without all the extras you describe below. There are also 
plenty of admins who can join the domain in the proper location based on 
discrete delegations. Moving and disabling and chastising after the fact seems 
like a lot of extra work to me.

 If they can't do it wrong because you control it with the delegations  and 
they get "I'm sorry Dave but I can't let you do that" they can't very well 
"forget" and do it wrong resulting in the need for intervention :-)

Much of this is going away in our environment with process improvement and 
automated deployments but it has worked fine for > 10 years.

To: NT System Admin Issues
Subject: RE: How many in your company can join systems to domain

I have done this

Because my requirement *IS* to allow a certain number of delegated regional 
admins (who are NOT Domain Admin members) to join computers, I have not reduced 
the ms-ds-machineaccountquota, as that is too blunt a tool, and can't 
distinguish between ordinary users and my delegated admins... - In fact I have 
*increased* the quota so that those regional administrators can continue to 
function...

However, I *HAVE*...
-  created a brand new top level OU called "Computers to be moved". 
- ACLd that OU to only allow my intended admins to create child objects. 
- Changed the default container for new computer objects in AD to this new OU.

Now, any computer that joins the domain does not get created in the default 
computers container, but in my new OU.

I have issued a very prescriptive process to those regional admins that 
instructs them in no uncertain terms that when joining computers to our domain 
they must pre-create the computer account in their specific OU before joining 
the machine. Obviously, most of the time they forget to do this (don't we all?) 
and just do it the regular way, such that the computer account does end up in 
that "computers to be moved" OU... - (which is also fine, just so long as they 
then remember to immediately go into ADUC & move the object to the correct OU, 
which they've also been instructed to do), So by way of "encouraging" them to 
change their habits, I run the following powershell script as a scheduled task 
every 1 hour, on the hour, which disables any machine accounts that happen to 
be there! - it could just as easily delete those computer accounts... :-) - 
Feel free to take this script and do with it as you will... - but I'd 
appreciate getting back any improvements!

  Article has little real info and is factually incorrect on important
aspects.  Press release from Fujitsu is somewhat better:

http://www.fujitsu.com/global/news/pr/archives/month/2012/20120618-01.html

  Fujitsu didn't use pairing-based crypto to break something else,
they *attacked PBC* using new methods.  I'm not familiar with PBC so I
don't know if it is actually being used as a "next generation"
solution as Fujitsu asserts, or if it was more like a research
project.  They also don't appear to publish any details on how the
attack worked.  Some attacks are more easily mitigated then others, so
this could mean anything from "PBC is completely useless" to "don't do
this stupid thing to begin with, and you'll be fine".

  Crypto is an especially difficult subject for the tech press to
report on, as it's fiendishly complicated by design, and bad analysis
tends to be just as incomprehensible as good analysis.

RE: How many in your company can join systems to domain

2012-06-21 Thread Paul Gordon
I have done this

Because my requirement *IS* to allow a certain number of delegated regional 
admins (who are NOT Domain Admin members) to join computers, I have not reduced 
the ms-ds-machineaccountquota, as that is too blunt a tool, and can't 
distinguish between ordinary users and my delegated admins... - In fact I have 
*increased* the quota so that those regional administrators can continue to 
function...

However, I *HAVE*...
-  created a brand new top level OU called "Computers to be moved". 
- ACLd that OU to only allow my intended admins to create child objects. 
- Changed the default container for new computer objects in AD to this new OU.

Now, any computer that joins the domain does not get created in the default 
computers container, but in my new OU.

I have issued a very prescriptive process to those regional admins that 
instructs them in no uncertain terms that when joining computers to our domain 
they must pre-create the computer account in their specific OU before joining 
the machine. Obviously, most of the time they forget to do this (don't we all?) 
and just do it the regular way, such that the computer account does end up in 
that "computers to be moved" OU... - (which is also fine, just so long as they 
then remember to immediately go into ADUC & move the object to the correct OU, 
which they've also been instructed to do), So by way of "encouraging" them to 
change their habits, I run the following powershell script as a scheduled task 
every 1 hour, on the hour, which disables any machine accounts that happen to 
be there! - it could just as easily delete those computer accounts... :-) - 
Feel free to take this script and do with it as you will... - but I'd 
appreciate getting back any improvements!
