I'd use a user account on the client's that's got a mostly read-only user home directory. (Unlike Windows, Unix will generally work even if the user's home directory isn't owned or writable by them.) I think the only things that the user would *need* to be able to write to would be /tmp/ and the browser cache directory (typically something like $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/default/cache/). I'd suggest having them use USB flash drives if they want to be able to write or save files. If you have to provide a writable directory, just grant write to $HOME/Desktop or something like that. And warn them their work won't be saved between sessions. I'd configure conservative browser settings, and then lock them against changes. With Firefox, this is done by changing the user_pref() or pref() directive to lock_pref(). Possibly use a kiosk mode configuration. I'd mount the home and /tmp partitions with the noexec option, so if the user did manage to download a program, the system would refuse to execute it. It should be possible to tell the auto-mounter to add noexec to any USB drives as well. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.co. http://www.sunbeltsoftware.co./ .. -- Gavin Wilby, Twitter: http://twitter.com/gavin_wilby GSXR Blog: http://www.stoof.co.uk http://www.stoof.co.uk/ No virus found in this incoming message.

Okay, I'll bite... :) It's been a long week; this will be refreshing... :) I like Firefox better. It's faster and more flexible. Firefox tends to work they way I want. I can make it do what I want more easily. There are more useful extensions for Firefox Firefox works on all my computers, not just XP and Vista. Yes, we still have Win 2000 in production at work. I've got Linux at home and on my laptop. Firefox runs everywhere.. Extensions to MSIE, like IE7Pro, let IE catch up to Firefox in many ways, but Firefox has been doing more of what I want out of the box for years and years, when MSFT was still leaving us languishing with MSIE 6. Why should I go through the pain and effort of switching back now? The development community responds better and faster than Microsoft. See above. In practice, I think Firefox is more secure than MSIE. Web developers wanting to target MSIE are encouraged to use ActiveX, and downloading native machine code over the Internet into a browser is horrible idea and always was. NoScript blocks even JavaScript-based attacks. Permit Cookies lets me manage cookie permission easily. The fact that some sites *still* don't work right with anything but MSIE 6, and the fact that Microsoft *still( makes it unreasonably hard to run multiple versions of their browser, means that I can't even really try seriously newer releases. With Firefox, I can simply install to a different directory. It takes all of five seconds. I have zero issues using IE7 ... Zero.. EXCEPT ... That word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means. :) as far at the memory issue.. e I just reboot and in 1.5 minutes ... Another thing I like about Firefox is that, since it hasn't been shoved into the OS core in an attempt to stifle competition (see Findings of Fact, US v. MSFT, 5 Nov 1999), I can easily shutdown, kill, and/or upgrade the browser without having to reboot my *entire computer*. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

All (IE7, FF, Chrome, and Opera) will give an error box stating that the security settings forbid downloading from that site (even your own internal web servers).

RE: backup question... and Symantec CPS
I do FULL backups each night if I can.

RE: Would this be good for IT, or what? (UNCLASSIFIED)
I first heard about dave ramsey after watching Maxed out: Our Credit.. the documentary made in 2005 that talked about what happened to us in 2008.. years before it happened.. I don't know why the govt, banks, people in general didn't listen. but well. I do know why.. but still ehehehe. Its amazing to watch that movie and be shocked by what they knew THEN and what is happening NOW. I used my own ideas about my financial situation and applied it to my wife's finances (we keep them separated), and to my sister who is a financial mess. They are both like woah.. I can do that.. Im sitting here like where the heck were you growing up when they taught you 1+1 = 2 ? Believe me all, im NOT tryin to sound arrogant and I agree with ALL OF YOU..

Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, Security _ From: Jim Majorowicz [mailto:jmajorow...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 11:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Exchange Puzzle I've got a client (SBS 2003 SP2) that has a fairly large DB for the Private store. I had set the DB Size Limit in GB to 64 GB, but yesterday at 5 AM it spontaneously reverted back to 16GB after failing a defrag and of course dismounted the store. When I checked to make sure it was working properly after changing the setting back I couldn't help but notice some discrepancies in the numbers. The 9690 event that took the DB offline shows the size at 48 GB. At 8 am, when the 1216 and 9685 events that report the failure to mount (done before coffee or even a check of the event logs), the size reported was 53 GB. The 1216 Event after I fixed the DB Size Limit in the registry, still said 53 GB. To really confuse me, the Usage Report (Which is what I use to monitor the size of the store in the first place) shows the total of all mailbox sizes to be 38,623.8 MB, which is about 37.5 GB... In the effort of full disclosure, this server is bane of my existence. It eats SCSI drives for lunch on an almost quarterly basis. It has had a critical failure in the past year that forced me to restore from backup. I've been hesitant to ESEUTIL this store because of the trouble I had getting the damn thing back online after the restore. Still, I'm a little worried. I don't have anything in either the APP or SYS logs that show what the heck happened at 5 AM to change the DB Size Limit, and I'm a little hesitant to blow off a 16 GB gap in reported size differences as simple whitespace.

RE: Exchange Puzzle
Eseutil never removes data from the store.. if you run it with a /d or /g, it doesn't remove emails, or calendar data, or mailboxes for example Then again, if you run it and lose data, the database was in poor shape anyway and that needed to be done to insure you didn't have another crash later. You could always restore to a RSG, and exmerge any missing data out of there to a PST and exmerge it back into the live database if need be. Eseutil is your friend, never be afraid to use it with the proper switches. Always do a /g first and if its consistant, do a /d to defrag it. A defrag will never hurt the database.

RE: Exchange Puzzle
Depends on a couple factors.. how much RAM you have.. is it RAID 5, RAID10, RAID1, .. no RAID? any other IOs going on that box at the time.. A\V turned off? I turn off my A\V at the time, make sure I have as much RAM opened up to me as I can, turning off IIS, etc.., and usually we don't have the money to run it on a RAID10 system, so I have to run it on a RAID 5 set.. however, if you have room on a RAID1 set, you COULD move it to a RAID1 volume I supposed since RAID1 has faster writes than a RAID5, but slower reads due to the lesser amount of spindles.. give a little , take a little.. OH.. 10,000 RPM drives , or 15,000 RPM drives.. another HUGE factor in how long that will take.

RE: Measuring Scsi speed
We used to use a script to generate a huge junk file and back that up to tape and measure speed with whatever backup software we were using and determine speed with that. One big file fills the buffer, etc and shows faster speeds that a bunch of little smaller files do. A bunch of smaller files will cause the shoe shining effect. SO, what Im suggesting is that if you can, or have, one big file you can use, like 10 GB .. use that as a file to back up to test speeds to tape. You can also look at IOMeter. That may help.

RE: Going back to XP?
My reasons for wanting to go back to XP are these: 1) Bloated installations. Even though disks are cheap, and that's a relative statement. I do not want every single file on the Vista DVDs copied to my system by default and then loaded into the OS when I tell Vista install this feature. I know it sounds Linux minded, but why have those 'dead' files just sitting there doing nothing? Its just as easy to pull the DVD out , plop it and load what YOU want, when YOU want. 2) I HATE the imaged install process MS pushes on everyone with Vista. I, for one, NEVER install my clients to the default systemroot. I stopped doing this years ago because I got tired of keeping up with c:\windows, c:\winnt35, c:\winn351, c:\winn351, c:\winnt, and then back to c:\windows again. Whats the next step, and why do I have to be FORCED to use c:\windows AGAIN? I know 'real' virus writers and 'real' hackers if you will, know the right variables to use, but if you look at my own security logs on my servers and clients, the little script kiddies are still going after c:\windows, and when that's not there, they hit d:\windows , e:\windows c:\root, d:\root, etc. Allowing a system admin to alter the system root upon installation , in my opinion, is a small, but critical success in keeping small, and sometimes horrible attacks off your systems and out of your enterprise. 3) WHY is it I could run XP on a machine that ran Windows 2000 pro without issue, but a machine I purchased NEW for XP cannot run Vista? They made it so difficult to upgrade that companies like mine would HAVE to purchase a whole new hardware base for just this OS, when in the past, you would just buy the OS because your hardware was still good. I could make my hardware last longer, and that's a GOOD investment in the hardware, while bringing in new SOFTWARE that should still run perfectly on it. Its my same complaint with Exchange 2007 ONLY coming in 64 bit. I know why, I get it, but again, you're FORCING companies to invest in more hardware when they really did not NEED to do so. I am hoping that at least points 1 and 2 are overcome by Windows 7 because I am skipping over Windows ME, I mean errr Windows Vista and hoping for the beast , I mean Best in Windows 7. Cheers!

Though the Large Hadron Collider's infiltration by hackers did not disrupt the historic project, experts warn that its computer systems are vulnerable. Shortly after physicists activated the Collider on Wednesday, hackers identifying themselves as Group 2600 of the Greek Security Team accessed computers connected to the Compact Muon Solenoid detector, one of four key subsystems responsible for monitoring the collisions of protons speeding around the 18-mile track near Geneva, Switzerland. A few scientists had worried that the experiment could inadvertently create a planet-swallowing black hole. Physicists called this impossible, or at least extraordinarily unlikely. But the hack raises a different sort of worst-case scenario: the largest and most complicated science experiment in history, intended to reveal basic information about the composition of matter, derailed by malevolent intruders. The LHC experiments have very complex computer systems for data recording and analysis and even more sensitive systems for experiment control, trigger and data acquisition, said an MIT physicist and Collider collaborator. You could imagine that penetrating the 'real time domain' could have catastrophic consequences.

RE: Redirected Documents issues
They only get backed up if you tell it to make them available offline.. BUT you need to tell it make all subfolders available offline. Force a full sync, and not a quick sync. A quick sync will not get all the files. Turn off the sync on logon or log off. That's the quick sync. After you configure the sync, you right click and choose synchronize.. that's a full sync. On top of that, are you XP Sp2, or SP3? If SP3, there's a post SP3 patch for offline files that Ive found that helps (WindowsXP-KB944898-x86-ENU.exe). Go to your GPO's Computer Config Administrative Templates Network\Offline Files Subfolders Always Available Offline Policy Setting Subfolders always available offline Enabled Ensures all subfolders are available offline when a folder is made available for offline use. Gpupdate /force reboot Also, put in the following reg keys to make sure you have no issues with file types, and enter in your own file types of course Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\Exclus ionErrorSuppressionList] *.mdb=dword: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\Exclu sionErrorSuppressionList] *.mdb=dword: Doing this, I got rid of all my offline file issues, and any redirected files inside My Documents were available offline , or online provided the user did a sync to the corporate server on some type of regular basis.

Setup as a subfolder via the GPO, or just as a subfolder on the file system as it is by default? If its not set in the GPO as you see in the screen shot I sent, it wont redirect and move it over and you'd have the behavior you see.

RE: Redirected Documents issues
Its included in redirection IF you use the default GPO settings. Notice on the GPO screen shot I sent,it CAN be set different, which is why I suggested to check it. I'm not trying to argue with you, just trying to help. from your link My Pictures can be redirected independently of My Documents, or it can be made to follow My Documents (to remain its subfolder whenever My Documents is redirected), as it does by default. The default behavior is recommended unless you have a specific reason (such as server scalability) for separating My Pictures from My Documents. If these folders are separated, a shortcut takes the place of the My Pictures folder in My Documents. -- note Can be redirected independently.. meaning you can redirect it along with the other My Documents, or not.

Depends on the nature of the organization. For larger organizations, or if you have lots of servers, a name based on the site, function and a number tend to be the only way to go, especially with the flat naming system Windows still uses internally. For smaller shops with the right attitude (like my current employer), I tend to go with more interesting names, with a theme. Small shops almost always have all their servers being multi-purpose. Naming everything SRV1, SRV2, and so on tends to be confusing. For example, at my current main gig, we've got TIGER, PUMA, LION, COUGAR, and NTSERVER. (Can you guess which one has the legacy app that just don't die? ;-) ) At my last main gig, we used Simpsons characters. This doesn't scale up to large orgs, though, and if the place has a stuffy attitude it's not appropriate, either. For the latter, I usually just use ORGSVR1 or whatever. RFC-1178 has some advice on this, although it's oriented more towards DNS, where the tree structure makes naming conflicts less of an issue. Currently we use location and function in the name, but what about a server that does more than one thing? Use a more generic name, like SRV or UTIL or whatever. Indeed, if it's at all likely a server will be tasked with multiple things, I always try to go with the more generic name. A server named one thing that's really doing more is misleading. Worse is when the original task then gets moved off, and now you have a server named DC1 that isn't a DC anymore, or something like that. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

Hi Kim, I've been using w2k with Office 2000 and Exchange 5.5 for awhile now, since the beta of win2k and the release of O2k, attachments show up by default. If you're exchange server is less than sp3 for exchange 5.5, update that. Also, MS released an Outlook client for Exchange 5.5 sp3 specifically, check your technet subscription if you have one. I would patch Office 2k up to sr2 if you don't have access to this. Is it possible that on your exchange server someone configured a mailbox limit or attachment size limit that you're not aware of? I know our Exchange server (before sp3) would not always keep the information store defaults on max size limits for all mailboxes. Occasionally, a user would have a different limit than others, even though his/her mailbox was set to use the IS defaults. Also, Norton Antivirus Corporate edition with exchange support enabled will do this on the client side. If this is suspect, uninstall norton and reinstall without exchange support enabled, all virus scanning will still take place, read symantec's details for more, don't know the link off the top of my head.
