Entourage series is one of my favorite shows, well actually it is my favorite show. Entourage dvd inspired me to become an actor, and I'm serious I am actually going to the New York Film Academy next year and looking for talent agents just like Ari Gold. Entourage is great and it shows exactally how an actor lives in L.A or in any other part of the show, not to mention the guest stars, they are amazing! The plot and setting of Entourage is great! I really love it and I'm not sugar coating it. When I watched the first episode it lured me in, and made me watch the second, third, fourth, and so on and so forth. I finished Entourage season 1-6 on dvd in 3 days... I am addicted to it, it is great. Now I am waiting for Entourage season 7~

Tim, you might give my "Windows Logons Revealed" and "Cracking Open Kerberos" talks a look, as Pieter has suggested.
But in brief:

Kerberos tries to let DCs be fairly stateless. Its main job is to give a user a "ticket" to a service, like a file server, print server, etc. That ticket AUTHENTICATES the user to the service, as you've said... authorization is up to the service.

So in brief, if I want to start my day and get to file server \\FS1, I

1) Sit at my machine, press ctrl-alt-del and try to log on.
2) That info goes to a DC, which validates it. If I get it right, the DC sends me back a "ticket granting ticket" (TGT) that I can use to go back to the DC and ask for other things. It times out in 10 hours.
3) With the TGT, I go back to the DC and ask for a SERVICE TICKET to my workstation. The DC's already forgotten me, so I must flash the TGT to remind it that I'm still jake with it for a few hours.
4) The DC generates a service ticket to my workstation service.
5) I hand that to the workstation service on my PC, and I'm logged onto my machine.
6) I then want to get to \\FS1's file server service. Again I flash the TGT to the DC, it remembers me again and gives me a service ticket to \\FS1's file server service.
7) Armed with the ticket, I get access to \\FS1.

Does that help?]]> Adm folder access with UAC enabled Mark Minasi http://web2.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=35071&REPLY_ID=171802 Windows Server 2008 R2 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 10:29:35 -0500 http://web2.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35071 Quote:

I covered this in my IPv6 talk, but then I cover a LOT in that talk.<g>

RFC 4007 arose out of a side effect of RFC 3041, the big "privacy revolution" RFC from 2001.

Imagine a server with two NICs, each connected to a subnet. Each of those NICs gets an FE80 (link-local) address, randomly generated. No worries with those guys.

Now assume that there is just one other computer on each subnet -- call them Client1 and Client2. (Client1 is on subnet 1 and client 2 is on subnet 2.) Each gets to pick a link-local address. The only rule about FE80 addresses is that they must be unique ON THEIR SUBNET ONLY... no one cares if you get duplicates on different subnets.

So we roll the dice and

Server 1 NIC 1: FE80::4
Server 2 NIC 2: FE80::7
Client 1: FE80::2
Client 2: FE80::2

Huh? Client1 and Client2 are well within their rights, as THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT SUBNETS.

Now suppose I'm sitting at the two-NIC server and type

ping client1

So the name resolution software in the server says "hmmm, client1 has an address of FE80::2," and passes "ping FE80::2" to the IPv6 ICMPv6... and we got ourselves a problem.

RFC 4007 says to (1) number your links (Nics) and (2) "fully qualify" (my phrase) FE80 references by adding the NIC. So, if the server sees subnet #1 as "link 7" and subnet #2 as "link 5", then

client1's address = FE80::2%7
client2's address = FE80::2%5

No, I want for the data source to be the SharePoint List.

With every sharepoint list, there comes a default really ugly looking "NewItem.aspx" and "EditItem.aspx" with all the fields in one vertical column that looks pretty horrid.

All I am really doing is just more of these types of data entry screens, modifying the line items of the list. In this particular case, we're talking about never really having more than 15 records at a time, so it will be easy for people to flip thru the data to get to a record they want, and click the form they want.

The reason I want to use the SharePoint Lists is that some of the fields will be controlled at the top-most level of the site. I go to just one place in order to edit the list of our departments, locations, and Job Titles. When we have a major change such as closing down three sites as we did last month, I can just edit the master list at the top level, and now this little employee "database" will be updated, along with every other document and form in use in the organization that stored in SharePoint.

When I have this little project done, maybe I'll do a little camtasia vid on how it's working for us. I'm absolutely positive that I'm re-inventing the wheel and there was an easier way, but it just meansn that "next time" should go faster!

While Megan makes a good arguement for her theory I have to poke several holes in it.

For a start, I can't call you a middleman, you'd take offence.
Your theory on the birds and fishes is also flawed. You have forgotten the Moles. We are still finding out that they dig deep holes. The reasons whales jump out of the ocean is because the Moles drop in for tea. Moles make a terrible mess hence the whales run real quick. Its difficult to stop that amount of mass especially when said Moles start chasing looking for donations to the Elephant welfare fund.
The Elephant welfare fund is irrelevent, but seeing as I mentioned it I'll continue. The Moles have to pay for theFunerals of the Elephants as they, the Moles are the biggest cause of death in native city dwelling Elephants. If the Moles don't donate, the elephants throw them into space. Hang on does than mean they are high as well!

Probably the reason you have issues with believing this is due to how good the Moles are at killing native city dwelling Elephants. When was the last time you saw one? In Ireland we are blessed, Bog doesn't make for good mole holes, it caves in too easy.

We have lots of consultants, outside contract engineers, and curious hacker student types who I don't want gleaning any information from our scripts. (for instance, names of groups that grant special access, or directories where we might store configuration files or launch EXE's, etc).

Currently I've been using Kix which allows you to tokenize your scripts into a quasi-encrypted/tokenized format such that somebody cant go browsing your netlogon share and figure out what your startup, logon, and maintenance scripts are doing.

As I prepare to start phasing out kix with Powershell, I'm just trying to replace some of the functionality that Kix had. One of those things is compilation/tokenization. Has anybody successfully implemented any method to hide/encrypt their scripts? I'm not looking for world-class encryption here...just something to keep our more bored power users from poking around. Note...NTFS permissions really isn't an option as a good half of these scripts need to be read-only by users.

You know it's funny. I guess I did MED-V before the term was coined.

In a development shop, you have to test code in different operating systems.
We often had a room at a large client project where I would have about 10 machines where there were test boxes from the desktop OS where the new code was uploaded too and User acceptance testing boxes for the software testers.

I think you can guess the rest, but when I got VMWARE, I created these machines and just had the developers and Software testers work on the virtuals. Snapshots and copies and the test machines could be run from the desktops.

Standardize the build of the machines, and your pretty much done.

Could it run on a dedicated workstation or a low use workstation? I have 5 users that might be interested and they are not sending 5 faxes a minute.

Me too. Same problem. Reinstalled the DNS server, but still afraid it is the DNS server that is the problem.
It should be ok to install the DNS server after the AD DS?

I can successfully ping

Server

I can see the folders on both 'Server' and 'Server.domain.com', however, when I try to go into subfolders, the subfolders on 'Server.domain.com' does not show, while the subfolders on 'Server' shows...

Thank you for the confirmation. I found the incorrect explanation of GC, which says:
The global catalog contains a copy of important attributes from throughout the forest. The local presence of the global
catalog will allow users to log in (either from local or remote domains) and access resources assigned using universal
groups. However, users would not be able to change passwords for accounts in remote domains, because updating a password
would require contacting that domain's domain controller directly.

For the issue that you are describing you would want to have a DC from each domain in the other location.

Well, technically SharePoint can serve the purpose you're trying to accomplish, but it's going to take a lot of setup to get there.

"Crawling Network Shares" - SharePoint 2007 can indeed crawl network shares in order to present information the end-user. In our implementation, 95% of our inforamtion is still stored on a file server, but I have the SP server add \\servername\foldername to is crawl schedule so that when users visit the search box in SharePoint, they will get results from either http://intranet.companyname.net OR from \\servername\foldername. The file never gets stored in sharepoint, but the user is presented with a pretty little hyperlink that makes it easy for him\her to open up the file.

However, that scenario is for Internal, already on the network anyway, type of configuration. The user or client would need to authenticate to \\servername\sharename in the same way they would have if they put the path into a browser or explorer window. SharePoint is not handling any authentication, just serving up a handy link.

So in order to make your SharePoint server act as a file portal for your clients, you'd be talking about moving all the data from your file share into SharePoint, which is itself a somewhat daunting task. Then you have to expose the SharePoint server to the external world so that your clients can access it remotely.

For connecting SP out to the WWW, there's a bit of design work that goes into this, making sure that you have it hardened. A common design is to have the SQL backend hosting all the data, then two "web front end" servers, one being an internal one that all your internal clients use, and the other being placed in your DMZ, hardened to the internet, and much more restricted, and yet hitting that same SQL data, so that data exposed to the outside world is always current.


And I'll throw in the little disclaimer that I've only been working with SP for 2 years and in a pretty small shop. Most of what I write here is from what I've read, not real world experience. So others are more than welcome to correct me ....]]> Image a drive similar to ghost pfoty http://web2.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=35007&REPLY_ID=171545 Deployment: Windows and apps Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:59:58 -0500 http://web2.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35007 Quote:

I guess I don't understand why I can't use distribution groups....sigh, more learning curves! :


Quick answer: that's the way it is.

More detailed answer has to do with SIDs and attributes of a distribution group as opposed to a security group. Distribution groups don't have SIDs (apparently).

You have a couple options:

1) Create a separate security group for this purpose.

2) Convert the distribution group into a security group.

In Exchange 2007 (and presumably 2010) you can mail-enable security groups - EDIT - and thus continue to use it as a destination for emails (or its recipients).

Since you only are assigning 2-3 people, I'd just create a security group for that role.]]> Send on Behalf of an other Domain ...

Currently we already have a domain A which is using certificate based authentication between us – Domain A is also hosted by Postini and it works fine, never set up a connector for this on our Exchange 2007 Server. Of course Exchange 2007 is using a certificate and all I have is a connector setup to Postini.

But Domain Z is not hosted with Postini.

Eddie,

Just returned from my third trip to New Orleans. Family lives just outside the city about 40 minutes.

Anyways, most tours will be outside the city limits. If you rent a car, be sure to map your trip first or be sure the trip includes transportation to and from your destination. Taxis are very expensive and there is no real train or trolley system. Except for a trolley in the city itself.

Be sure the swamp tour includes some feeding of gators. We feed some 12 footers. AMAZING. They are such remarkable creatures.

If you're into history, I'd highly recommend some type of plantation tour. Oak Alley is a famous tour because it's in all the movies but by far the most complete plantation is Evergreen. It still has all it's slave cabins, sugar mills, support buildings etc etc. But they only run two tours a day.

If you want tips on places to eat, feel free to email me offline. There are tons of tourist trap restaurants that will be more than happy to charge 19.99 for four little pieces of fried catfish. There are tons of places to go, you just need to know where.

The real question, since SBS4, is, why they set 10.0.0.0/whatever as default subnet for a network that is very unlikely to grow beyond 100 nodes.

I have a Windows 2003 server with SP2 installed; recently when I applied hotfix KB969947 to that server and reboot it ; It prompt me to chkdsk and after that I get the same message over thousands of file:
"replacing invalid security id with default security id for file nnnn".
It has been running for more than 5 hours with over 100K of files!
This is a very critical server and we cant re-image the OS
I read somewhere it says Microsoft fixed this in SP2 ; but I have exactly SP2 installed in my server !
And some articles also suggest me to leave it run until completion

My questions is:
1) how to estimate the period for completion of this?
2) When the whole things is completed; does it meants will reset the permission on ALL folders/files in this server? IF yes; what security logon will they reset it to? Administrator?

Any advise will much be appreciated :)
