Hi, in my organization there are two server (domain controller and mail server running mdaemon) and other 50 client computer.

I plan to add one more server which is running ISA server as a firewall server. Once I have successfully deploy ISA server I plan to configure the following setting on the domain controller:

1. Install and configure domain controller as DHCP server.

2. Configure DNS on domain controller as AD integrated zone and configure DNS farwarder on DC. Each client will use IP of DC as their primary DNS server.

With the above two purpose, I need everybody to suggest or advice me about any security that might occure of I configure the above two point on DC?

Thank in advance!!!

Some antivirus programs generate such messages, so you will have to scan and clean your system(s) as well.

First you do these stuff :--->

1. Disable System Restore .
2. Update the virus definitions.
3. Run a full system scan.
4. Delete any values added to the registry.

Best alternative for windows file sharing??

Hi all,

we had a new system which acts as a backup server for all the members in our lab. Its a windows XP x64 system with bunch of shared folders for each member in the lab and it also acts as an FTP server for our lab, Maltab license server and also as Kaspersky admin server. Using SyncBack_NI, we are able to backup our systems regularly and all is fine for a while. All the client systems are windows XP x86 systems and setting up network share of their shared folder, they all are able to backup their systems fine for a couple of days, then the problems starts with windows network sharing, sometimes out of the blue it says access denied and then you need to disconnect and do some nbtstat refreshing and delete all the mountpoints for network shares and then redo all the steps for adding network shares, even then sometimes it still says access denied and sometimes it works for a while and to be honest we are quite tired of using windows network sharing.

So, now we are seriously looking for an alternative for this and get rid of this XP network sharing problems. Except network share access probems on client systems everything else works fine. Currently all the backup files are stored without any compression (as raw files) and users can access their files from backup system normally as they do from their local system. Any ideas/tips please???

thanks,

PKNT

Save the following to a .reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters]
"autodisconnect"=dword:00000000

Then run it.

It will make the time that XP maintains mountpoints for shares be 0....Get what you need and disconnect. It should help a lot.

the value is F by default (15)

Hello all ,
I installed microsoft office 2003 on server machine and I want to share
office 2003 for network users . I notwant to install office 2003 on all the network machine . how can I do this . please describe if possible .

Thanks for this .

You can use Terminal Server to "share office 2003". However, Terminal Server licencing is a beast. I remember that you'd need one licence for the server and one for every user who is going to be using Office.

Also, you need a powerful machine in order to deal with several users at once. Office is not exactly easy on the resources.

I would always go with the local installation. You can automate the installation process, so why not go that way? And you only need one licence per user.

Cheers,
Sebastian

There is any other solution except Terminal server.
I searched on Google for this , there I found two method for sharing installed software one is "Terminal Server" and another is "Creating DFS root" .
I don't know about "Creating DFS root", is it easy method then Terminal server or
Terminal server is the best way for sharing installed software .

Thank U Very much for Your reply .

Hi,

I have written code in asp.net to start a application on remote machine. It is working fine. But on remote machine the process is executing in background. How to bring it to foreground ?

You can't. You cannot start a user-interactive process on a remote machine, for what I think are obvious reasons.

*cough* Not entirely true *cough*.

It requires some really arcane logic with the service control manager, and a certain measure of permissions on the target machine, but it can be done. I have a 'remote installer' for a headless machine on one of our products. It copies the install package to the destination machine and then executes it remotely by installing a service that creates an interactive session and runs the install package.

* cough * it can also be done with PSEXEC, but in either case, 9 out of 10 reaons people come up with to justify doing something like this are crap. It's just too easily abused and I don't/won't support it.

Ipsec can be installed on the server and you can really lock down a server this way. http://serverintellect.com/support/windowsserversecurity/ipsec-blockip.aspx[^]

You can also create windows firewall exceptions and lockdown the box that way.

http://www.serverintellect.com/support/windowsserversecurity/windows-firewall-exception.aspx[^]

Very simple, free software already including in windows server. You just need to spend the time and lockdown your box how you need it.
