RE: Self-Service Account Unlock
I’d love to hear from the InfoSec peeps on this too – I currently have the
lockout set at 30 minutes. I’m seriously considering dropping it down to 5.

500+ users here and am a big fan of account lockout durations of less than 5
minutes. Our annual security assessment advisor didn't like that very much, for
reasons i'm still attempting to figure out. I've read several pieces of
documentation suggesting keeping the lockout duration to even about 1 minute
would be secure, but I'm far from an info sec expert. I'm eager to hear from
the folks on this list who disagree with the lockout duration being set to
anything higher than 5 minutes (for arguments sake).

So, I have some questions regarding this:
What is the rush on the part of the end user to have this done? They can't
wait 5 or 10 minutes for the unlock to happen automagically?
How often do account lockouts happen that this is something worth spending
time and money on a solution?
Frankly, with my user base of about 250 staff, I consider it unusual to get
as many as three requests in a month for account unlocks.

I’ve been looking through the multitude of options, but they all seem
to be web-portal-based. Is there one that puts the Unlock option on
the Logon Screen?
My point is – what’s the use of a web-portal version when they can’t
log on to their machine? A kiosk-type user account doesn’t seem the
safest route to go.

(It will look blank but if you use a microscope you will find the small print.) Last job purchased 2 of the same model at the same time. This was at the time that Vista was released. Printer/copier/scanner in one building was down more than up. Postscript was a $2k additional purchase and since we had two of the same model we had to purchase for both ($4k addition). (This was NOT reveled to us until we asked about it a month post purchase.) The building with the machine down most of the time was the one that needed the capacity the printer was rated for but only for 2 months out of the year otherwise it was used at maybe 1% of capacity. The other building used the printer at maybe 20% capacity and it basically stayed up unless someone got a wild hair and put in paper made from recycled paper, then it would go down within 3 reams of paper. It would also go down if we pushed to or over the capacity due to the other printer being down. Scanning was to either an SMB share or internal FTP server. I could never get the internal FTP server to delete anything unless I went to the machine and did it from the control panel. The SMB share had to be full and no security! Since the stuff being copied and scanned was covered under NDA's that was not going to happen and the internal FTP would not take/use any security either. The software they offered up to deal with the scanning issue required full admin access to the disk and to run. I dumped it without even trying to deal with that. The drivers were for Windows 2000. It took maybe 6 months post purchase before they finally released the XP drivers but they really seemed to me to be beta with the first time they offered them up when you attempted to load them plainly saying they were Windows 2000 drivers. About the time Windows 7 was released they finally had drivers for Vista that did not crash the system. Their sales people may forget to mention that the machine is EOL and if you don't ask they don't tell. We got bit by that one. Turned out the machines had been sitting in a warehouse for months. Up side was these were both color machines and did a great job of printing or copying in color. The shading was not adjustable within the printer (well maybe if we had gotten the Postscript addition it might have been) but we had other ways to adjust the shading to do what was needed. BTW the Postscript piece was a physical add on to the machine and once attached needed a service call to detach and would not migrate to another machine unless the service tech reset something inside the device.

the subnets so there must be something within the ESXi host that is only
allowing IP's on the local subnet to communicate with it. Any idea on how I can
get the Vsphere client on the remote networ to be able to connect?

Did you reboot between the uninstall the reinstall? It's possible

Is there a cleanup tool for the latest version of Vipre that will

Hi Folks,
For you Vipre users, any of you having issues over the last few days
with Vipre not catching viruses? We've had at least a dozen PCs we had
to re-image over the last week. The vipre console indicates the agent
is shut down, and it won't start.
This wasn't a problem for us until we went to agent 5.0.4464, and as
usual, a bunch of PC were left without protection because the install
removed the old product, never installed the new product. Just
wondering if this version is problematic.

Another option on the phone front, for many Android users is to have an

stating that they do not include CIQ on their phones.

This CarrierIQ thing brings up a thought. With a smartphones and other
current technology it is now entirely possible to have your every action
recorded. Who you talk to, what you way, what you and they look like,
where you are and how long you've been there and where you went next and
how fast did you travel to get there.
1984 is here, and most people couldn't care less because the benefits
of the technology outweigh any privacy concerns.
The only way to partially opt out is to not have a smartphone and
drive an older car, because even then when you walk into stores and make
purchases you are still being watched by cameras/banks. Using cash would
get you a little more stealth

Track every log on, and immediately log the details to a system they don't
have access to. (If you only log locally, they can modify the log records.)
Possibly less intensive is to not simply give them the password.
Instead, give them a record of the password under opaque seal.
Periodically audit the seal to make sure it hasn't been broken.
If they need some access normally: Create a separate account, with separate
credentials. Grant that account the least privilege they need to do their job.

Periodically audit the seal to make sure it hasn't been broken.
If they need some access normally: Create a separate account, with separate
credentials. Grant that account the least privilege they need to do their
job.

RE: New SAN - How to remove old from SQL Cluster?
It appears that I've successfully moved all but one service - SQL Server Analysis Services. I've updated the properties for SSAS as well as all registry entries to point to the new drives, but every time I fail that old drive, SSAS fails to start.

RE: New SAN - How to remove old from SQL Cluster?
Sorry – I’ll clarify.
Server 2008 R2 Cluster
New SAN – Disk Resources are online with Cluster – Data has been migrated. (New
Disk Resources have different Drive Letters)
SQL Server has been updated for creation of new DBs on new SAN (Data Log file
storage)
In Cluster Manager, Dependencies have been changed to no longer refer to old
SAN Disk Resources
If I delete those disk resources (remove from cluster, in addition to moving to
Available Storage), SQL Server will fail
If I bring those disk resources back (but dependencies are not modified), SQL
Server starts and stays running
Let me know if there is more information needed.

RE: OT Doid 3 and Droid Bionic question
I definitely recommend the Bionic over the 3 - check the ROM Developers'
comments at http://www.rootzwiki.com. Battery life is incredible for a
3g phone, much less a 4g phone. The developers have root (attained
before it hit the streets), are working on ClockworkMod Recovery, and
custom ROM's are already being developed.

My boss has offered me the choice of a Droid 3 or a Droid Bionic phone.
The Droid 3 I have seen, for just a few minutes, and I really like the
full keyboard. The Droid Bionic I have not seen. The Droid Bionic has
the 4G advantage. However, I really don't use my phone for surfing, but
do text and email often from my phone. On the Droid 3 keyboard, I could
really fly. Other touch screens I have struggled with.
Can anyone who has used these phones please comment on how they liked
them? The online reviews have been helpful, but I would value your real
life opinions more.
Thanks

For such an attack that caused $300k damage, it seems that this only
affected a relatively small org. Small orgs tend not to have the
enormous amount of risk management and process (ITIL or otherwise) that
large organisations have.
Large orgs also have their problems, but something as routine as
employee termination does tend to have a standard procedure that does
get followed (well, maybe they can still access the carpark).
We have a small mountain of documentation to cover thousands of
procedures - but there are probably still gaps.

call them because I uh...have a Hyper-V host that's a domain member and
it was requiring connection to a DC to start a guest VM, and the guest
VM was the DC it needed to talk to!
Invoking some DR steps I got back in business, but still...do you need
to have some kind of support contract to have them available 24x7?

RE: VLAN N00b
Adtran routers will do this, too. I’m in the midst of creating my “guest”
wireless VLAN. The nice thing about the HP M110 access points is that you can
create two communities – on separate VLANs. One for your users and one for
your guests.

I have zero experience with Sonicwall, but being a Juniper user for years, this
is something you can accomodate should you have a spare interface on your
Juniper FW. You assign it a zone to it, if you like, or simply make in an
untrusted port and route out to and from it, assign DHCP and policies.

Does the Sonicwall have the concept of “Zones” and can it act as a DHCP server

Using a Juniper as an example, you configure an interface as a Zone (called,

interface.

Subject: VLAN N00b
So…I bought a wireless AP and it looks like I get to delve into learning a
little VLANing.
Environment:
DNS,DHCP server (2003 SBS server, Domain controller)
Second DC (2003 R2 Server)
SonicWall Firewall
Dell PowerConnect 3448
17 Domain PC’s
HP M110 Wireless AP with non-domain PC’s using this to get to the Internet.
Desired result for WLAN clients:
· Able to get to the Internet, but not be able to see any domain
systems.
· DNS configured to non-domain server (SonicWall would be OK)
I can VLAN with the PowerConnect and make it so that AP can only get to the
firewall, but my issue then is how will any clients get assigned an IP address.
I can configure the Sonicwall to hand out IP’s but then I lose control of IP’s
(reservations, etc) from the SBS system.
It looks like I should divorce DHCP from the SBS server and put it on the 2nd
DC and allow the AP to see the one DC and the Sonicwall.
Here’s a document I found helpful:
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/howto_config_private_vlans.pdf
From that, the SBS server and all domain PC’s would be in Community 10
The AP would be in Community 11
The firewall and 2nd DC (now doing DHCP) would be promiscuous. Is that too big
of a risk? The HP110 can do RADIUS and I did install that capability on the 2nd
DC but I don’t really know what I’m doing here.
This would get me close to my desired result. Can RADIUS be used to
conditionally hand out IP addresses? What would be nice is the ability to have
it so VLAN1 (Community 10 in the diagram) gets some IP settings, VLAN2
(Community 11) gets others – namely a different DNS server.
All thoughts and comments welcome.

Subject: Houston, we have a problem - SAN Disk corruption
Hey guys,
I've run into a problem where my SAN (HP Storageworks 1200r) had two disks die,
affecting three volumes. One of those was the SQL data volume that my SQL
Cluster shares. This is SQL 2008 (SP2) on Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1). In
particular, one MDF file appears to have been damaged. Symptoms are:
· I try to copy the MDF (after detaching from SQL), and it fails with a
Read error at 3.09GB left (it's 5.25G in size).
· I try to use SQL to back the db up and that fails at 60%.
· I was able to move the DB to another folder on the same volume, but
still the above two issues happen.
Dbcc checkdb reports no errors, but I need to get this fixed ASAP. We're
replacing this with a Dell Equallogic shortly (within two weeks).
Let me know if you need any more information.

Subject: Win7 UAC - is your on or off?
Do any of you turn this off? I had our Service Desk Manager look at me
like I had two heads when I told him I don't turn mine off and I asked
yours is off? and he answered It's me, I know when I am doing
something to my system
I swear I read somewhere there is good reason to keep UAC on and just
throttle down the prompts (with Win7 I've left it at default), but I'll
be damned if I can find it at the moment. I thought it was a Minasi or
other level of author.

Wow. The local government here in the UK that I work for, despite being
in the middle of the deepest cuts for two decades, have decided to use
our precious IT resources to.enforce 14-point Arial as the Outlook

they can read our emails. Amazing. I'm pretty sure eye tests and glasses
have been available to all since 1946...yet here we go.
It gets better, though. They have also decided to change every single
publication and communication that comes out of the council to 14-point
Arial, even to the stage where council tax bills will no longer be able
to display the address correctly in the envelope window. Which means
they will have to shell out for special envelopes right across the board
with bigger windows. Great money-saving sense!

The tweet is stupid, but what else do you expect from a stream of consciousness
utterance? Your point, while entirely valid, misses the point. It is up to
us, meaning we need to do more to create secure systems. In this case, Citi
didn't even come close to doing that. To blame LulzSec or the individual who
broke their system, or has been arrested and will probably be scapegoated is
misplacing responsibility. There is plenty of blame to go around here, and if
I had to divide the responsibility for the attack proportionally I would do 90%
at Citi and 10% at Lulzsec. Now, if Citi were operating a secure system, I
would adjust accordingly, but let's not kid ourselves about what Citi did or

I had a couple of unrelated but eye-opening events that caused me to have to send this email. Nothing major, but some poor behavior needed to be rectified. Some of you may have heard about Sony's recent troubles with hackers getting into the PlayStation and Online Entertainment networks. If you haven't been following the story, you may not be aware that other Sony services are also experiencing breaches. I expect Sony to have difficulty for some time. If you have any Sony account ID's (they also own BMG Music) you need to be extra vigilant. It's a good time to point out some things you should be doing or need to know. 1. Don't recycle passwords, use different, complex passwords on every site, at least as complex as the site will allow. Doing this is the #1 item to protect yourself. 2. Use a password management app that allows you to securely manage an ever growing list of passwords. Smart phone users have a large array of choices, many of them free. See your Appstore, marketplace, etc. 3. If a site has access to a credit card #, as the Sony sites do, keep a watchful eye on that card. There have been some reports of fraudulent charges and phishing scams breaking out to get the Security Code from the back of credit cards. 4. If an email comes to you asking for login information, or other personal information, you should contact the company that is supposedly represented by the email, or just ignore it, because it's 99% probable that it is a phishing attempt. a. Do not automatically click on links within the email. Hover over the links, if it takes you to some place that doesn't look correct it probably isn't. b. For example you bank with Chase, emails should be from some...@chase.com or sent on behalf of some...@chase.com. Website links should have chase.com before any page links, example www.chase.com/default.aspx would be a good valid page www is a computer at the chase.com internet domain default.aspx is the name of a specific web page. www.chase.com.differentdomain.info/changepssword.aspx is actually an address not going to a Chase owned website. In this example www.chase.com is actually a specific computer at the internet domain diferentdomain.info. The clue is working from right to left from the slash, separating the website address from the page selection. All internet domains are denoted by the two words, separated by a period immediately to the left of the / character. 5. Wherever possible make sure that a site that you to login is using https:// as the beginning of the address in the address bar. The s denotes secure and the channel between you and the website has been encrypted. If it isn't encrypted anyone else on that WiFi hotspot is able to listen to the traffic and could easily acquire your username and password code. a. Also be wary of sites that have problems with a website security certificate. For example, our sites for external access to email and the vpn do have a problem with our security certificate, because we use a self-signed one for private use. It's ok to do that, in this instance, because it is for private use, not public use. Public use should be using certificates signed by a certificate authority, and wouldn't create the same warnings. As we put more of ourselves online with social networks, Facebook and LinkedIn being the two most prominent, it is important to follow some of these basic security practices. The more information out there, the more carefully crafted phishing attempts we will see. #1 defense is to use complex and different passwords at every site you have login credentials. #2 is to not respond to email purporting to come from a trusted authority asking for personal identifying information. ~ 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 ~ 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

Quite a while, I suspect. I'd guess that encrypting the phone is going to be a
very difficult proposition, if you want the phone to actually work.
Something like Good's GFE would be useful, but it doesn't cover a lot of what
can be slurped by this device.
About the only thing I can think of (and I'm no expert, so this is a wild
guess) would be an easily removable memory chip that would contain a key, and
without which the phone would be unusable. Then, the user/owner of the phone
would have to have the discipline to keep them separate until needed, which is
something not many are going to want to do.

RE: Strange - Outlook 2010 AutoArchive isn't
After moving things manually (so his mailbox wasn't full), manually running
AutoArchive doesn't move anything.
I displayed the Modified column, and all items had been modified within the
past two weeks or so - inside the window of AA. The only plugin installed is
Send to Bluetooth. He and I share a similar configuration - Windows 7 Pro,
Office 2010, Vipre Antivirus. On my system, Sent has modified dates that are
sometimes a month later. Looking at Inbox - the Modified date only goes back
to 3/22, even though some items go back (Received date) to 1/22. Herein lies
the mystery.
So...what should I look at to try and resolve this? My thinking is it could be
mailbox scanning by Vipre for Exchange, but I thought it wasn't supposed to
change the Modified date.
I appreciate your assistance, folks...

Sean,
What happens if you go to File Mailbox Cleanup... Archive and choose to
archive based on AutoArchive settings?
You should see status updates as Outlook progresses through the folders in

The biggest 'trick' to AutoArchive is that it doesn't care at all when the

Modified date.
Add that column to the folder view and see when these messages were last

Also, check to see if there are any GPOs configured for Outlook 2010 that may

Sorry for the cross-post, I wanted the maximum exposure.
I've got one user on Outlook 2010 (Exchange 2003) where the AutoArchive isn't
running even though it's set to run every 3 days without notification. Are
there events I should look for in the App or System logs on his workstation?

After moving things manually (so his mailbox wasn't full), manually running
AutoArchive doesn't move anything.
I displayed the Modified column, and all items had been modified within the

Send to Bluetooth. He and I share a similar configuration - Windows 7 Pro,
Office 2010, Vipre Antivirus. On my system, Sent has modified dates that are
sometimes a month later. Looking at Inbox - the Modified date only goes back

Hi All
a friend of mine has been given an old laptop running windows XP
she want s to get this on line for her kids so i will beef up the RAM and
install a wireless dongle
however she asked about parental controls for web browsing etc. Not having kids
this is something that i have not looked in to
anybody have any advice and or experience of any offerings?
as the laptop is fairly old it will need to be something with minimal system
requirements. also my friend is not too computer savvy so it needs to be simple
to administer

Somewhat related question: does anyone know if Sprint phones will work

know Verizon doesn't use a SIM card, and I don't think Sprint does
either. Just curious. I was thinking of possibly trying to find a used
Android phone and flashing it with the latest and greatest version of
Android O/S and hooking it to my Verizon account, preferably without
telling 'em it's a smart phone and them requiring me to sign up for a

Subject: OT: Off-Site Printing Options
All -
We have a new client that requires our accountants to use their financial
system exclusively. The system lives on their network and will be accessed via
a website, naturally. Now, the topic of check printing came up and I need to
find a way (service, utility, etc) that can allow for remote printing to the
check printer located at my main office. Establishing a VPN is not an option. I
remember vaguely coming across a remote printing service years ago for
traveling sales folk, and the like, who needed to print documents at their
respective main office or closest branch location for signatory purposes.
I'm hoping the group could provide some recommendations or feedback on what are
my options.
Best Regards,
Harry.

Besides the obvious 'gaining root access', has anyone done this that can list

There are two variables you may want to edit at the top of the script,
otherwise, defaults will be used and folders created with those
defaults. WGET will be automagically prompted for download if it is not
found to already exist within those default variables.
The Ninite packages it downloads can be mixed and matched - combined or
separated. There are lots more to be downloaded from the site as well.
Hopefully I've done this in a format that everyone finds easy to follow
and build on.
Ideas, critiques, and collaborations are always welcome.

On the Exchange 2003 server, I see lots of 680's.

Check for the following:
1. Repeated entries (10 or more in a row) of 675 Failure Audits (likely
to show Client IP address of infected machine AND attempted accts its
locking out) 2. Success Audits of 644 to see what is being locked out 3.
Failure audits of 680 (this may not show/help much)
Infected machines will probably have the following services disabled:
automatic updates service, bits, workstation, etc.
Use the NetWrix account logon tool to determine lockouts (this was a
HUGE help in tracking down the machines)
If you are multiple sites like I was (10 different locations), checking
ALL domain controllers at every sites was a royal pain. NetWrix account
logon tool REALLY helped with this.
You may not have a Conficker issue... but the account lockout symptons
are conficker-like. :(

As someone else stated, look for failure events in the security event
logs on your DCs. I use Eventcombmt from the 2003 resource kit to search
for the following event IDs: 529, 644, 675, 676, 681. It searches all of
your DCs for you and dumps the results into text files. Just search the
text files for that username and see what client IP is generating it.
Not sure if the tools works against 2008 but I would imagine there's an
equivalent.

If they have a mapped resource, the local OS will cache the credentials
but not necessarily update them. It may be that Windows 7 is 'helping'
with the persistent connection. I would check drive and printer
mappings while you are pulling your hair out.
Another possibility is logged in somewhere else with the old

Hey guys,
I was just quoting renewals for a sonicwall firewall for a client. They
use the built-in, licenseable content filtering built into the
firewall. It looks like SW raised the price and it is bumping $1,000
for this feature for a 25 person office. Do you think that money could
be spent elsewhere with another filtering product to get better ROI?
Really, they just think they need to have this in place to block
employees from the seedy places. I would like a solution that helps
avoid malware and I don't think the SW content filtering does a thing to
help avoid malware. Do you have any other suggestions that are in the
same ballpark and are low maintenance/administration time?
Thanks.

Subject: Printers
I have just started with a company and have been challenged to fix some
issues they have been having. Here is one issue...
They have a new server running Win2008 64 bit. They have installed a
bunch of printers using the drivers from the manufacturers but these are
64 bit drivers. They have shared the printers to the general user (all
32 bit users) and no one can print. Is it possible to have printers on
a 64 bit server and share them to the 32 bit user? The guy before me
said he could not get the 32 bit drivers to install on the server and so
here I am.
I just want to make sure it is possible before I spend hours trying to
get it to work.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

HOW TO: Change permissions using SubinACL?
I've found several articles on SubinACL, but can't find how to do the specific thing I want to do. Here's the situation: E:\Users is shared as Users$ Share Permissions are: Everyone - Read Auth. Users - Change Domain Admins - Full Control Folder Permissions are: CREATOR OWNER - Full via Special Permissions SYSTEM - Full Administrators - Full Users - Read Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write Special - Create Files / write data Create folders / append data Under E:\Users are the individual users' folders. I want to ensure that the permissions are set properly to not allow standard users to back up to users$ (they're mapped to Users$\User.Name for their directory), if for some reason they do, they should only be able to see the list of folders, but not dive into the others. What are the recommended permissions in this type of situation, and what is the best method for fixing them? Luckily, there are only about 60 folders under E:\Users.

Look in the power settings. I found this happening if the machine ran it's
power down to near nothing and on restart it showed the Wireless disabled. I

then need to disable the power setting that turns them off.

Subject: Re: Wireless Adapter disabled - requires elevation to enable
Come to think of it disabling a NIC via GPO doesn't seem to make sense, so I
abandon that possibility.
So, are the notebooks all the same model? Do you have any not exhibiting that
behavior? Any of that same model? I'm running about 20 Windows 7 notebooks
and don't have that behavior.
Also, what happens if they login not connected to your wired network? Is the
wireless nic still disabled?

What behavior by design? Disabling wireless adapters upon logon? No.
Requiring admin rights to enable network adapters? Yes.
Possible you have a GPO disabling the wireless nic at startup?

Hello,
I've got several Windows 7 notebooks now, and I'm running into an issue where
the Wireless adapter is disabled upon logon. When the user goes to enable it,
it requires elevation. I'd prefer not turning off UAC completely, but I cannot
find a way to change this behavior - everything I read says that it is by
design. Your assistance in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
