I figured it out, this is what I did (and what I thought I did the first time.):
Create a forward DNS zone for the domain you are blocking.
Create just a CNAME for your server.
OPTIONAL: Create an IIS entry to say some sort of blocked page message.
The only way to speed up a Macintosh computer is at 9.8 m/sec/sec.

No, it's not. Your internal DNS should not care about any addresses that it's not an authority for. You're turning your DNS server into a poor firewall that's difficult to maintain.
The "right way" is a firewall that can respond to blocking sites by both IP address or domain and other methods such as content ratings, keywords, ...

 I am unsure if this is the correct forum, and I am not much of a scripter.
I am trying to script changing the XP LPT port number from LPT1 to LPT3. I have been able to do this in a vbscript by changing the port details in the PNP0401 registry component. This is not a fail safe solution as some systems such as VM's use PNP0400 instead.
I have another script where I am trying to use WMI components to change the device but I am having no luck.
The script is either to run as a Windows Startup script or to be included as part of a MSI installtion.
Does anyone have any information on how best to control system devices, typically changes you can make manually in the Device Manager. I can't find any information on the internet.
Cheers

Why do you need to do this?
The registry entries are really more up to what the PNP detection system put in place when it ran and detected the ports. Personally I would not mess around with them.
Maybe if we know why you need this we could point out a better way.

Sorry I should have mentioned that.
We have an old DOS program, Hiport (yes still exist in a big way in a finance company) that typical reports have to print to LPT1. We have removed admin rights from users (bad legacy environment we are trying to clean up) and they can no longer assign LPT1 to a net use printer. If I change physical Parallel port to LPT3 then users are able to assign network printers to LPT1. I could disable the parallel port all together but of course there are users with local printers.

Darren

ASP.NET is a server-sider technology. Does your Linux Host have the ability to server up ASP.NET pages? Probably not...

When creating an Active Directory domain it is critical that all workstations and member servers have DNS configured to point to, and only to, DNS servers that contain the domain's DNS zone. I'd take a guess that you've got the correct settings in your DHCP server configuration, that the XP workstations are set to use DHCP and therefore are getting the correct DNS settings, but that you've set static IP addresses for your members servers and have not configured DNS correctly.
You should install the support tools from the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM on the member servers that you can't connect to the domain, and run dcdiag with the /s switch to confirm that you've got connectivity to a domain controller and that it's functioning correctly, and netdiag to confirm that other networking facilities are working correctly.

How about your windows xp computer? Is it join domain successful or not? If you could join it successful, try to check your windows xp setting and find the reason why you can't join your windows 2003 to a domain controller. As I suggest, try to check your DNS setting on your domain controller and your client.

Hi, what is the difference between Local Security Policy and Group Policy in windows XP?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe the two snap-ins affect the same settings, but that the settings from Group Policy will override any settings made locally. Only if all of the Group Policy Objects have '(not set)' as the value for a setting will the local setting take effect.

Mike Dimmick wrote: I believe the two snap-ins affect the same settings
Yes, I already check the group policies and local security setting one by one. I found that the local security setting is part of group policies in the section of Computer configuration -> windows setting -> Security settings.
Mike Dimmick wrote: but that the settings from Group Policy will override any settings made locally. Only if all of the Group Policy Objects
May be I need to test it first. Because I found that, when I configure the setting of auditing policies in local security setting, the setting in group policies also change too.
Thank you for your comment

Hi, I have some problem with assign a logon script in windows xp. Please read read my below activities and suggest me if you found any error:
1. My computer name is Net1. I log on as a local administrator account.
2. I create a user account name User1 with blank password.
3. Create a folder name Welcome and create some file in it. Then make a Make a network share with "Welcome" as a share name and define permission for Everyone group in Share tab to Full control and Everyone group in security tab to read, read and execute and list folder content.
4. Log off Administrator account and logon with User1 account.
5. Log off User1 account and logon as Administrator account again. (I do this because i want user1 has it own profile).
6. In Administrative mode, I create a folder name Logon Script in the root drive C: and share it and put LS as a share name. I define the permission for both Share tab and security tab as step 3.
7. I create a batch file name MappedNetworkDrive.bat and the content of the file is mapped the network drive for welcome folder. The content of the file is:
net use y: \\net1\welcome
8. I assign the logon script to User1 in computer management and put the below path in Logon script text box: LS\MappedNetworkDrive.bat
9. I try to log off administrator account and log on as User1 account but i couldn't see the mapped network drive appear in windows explorer. I try to log off and logon many time but the network drive didn't map for me. But when I still in User1 mode and double click on the batch file directly, the drive is mapped successful but I don't want to to do. I want to mapped it automatically.
Does anyone see any problem with my above activities?

Try changing the share with the batch file to netlogon and change the user properties script options to MappedNetworkDrive.bat and see what happens. orherwise recate a new entery in the registery and get that to call the batch file under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Hi all:
I know for MSI installation package you can choose to install in default mode(Without UI)
MsiSetInternalUI(INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE, NULL);
and also register a callback
MsiSetExternalUI (MSIProgressHandler, /*all the installation msg you interested in*/...
to get MSI installation progress message with some info.
But now I have an exe installation package, and I've tried this package with '/q' command line, It did installed in background without any UI, but how can I get installation progress info like I did in MSI in this scenario?
|
|
|
|
|
That will depend very much on whether the supplied EXE was coded to allow you to do so. It probably wasn't, so you'll be out of luck.

Hi, I found this configuration tool online. I currently use it, it creates infrastructure reports pretty quickly, and I didn't know if anyone else has used it. I have the free version right now, and am wondering whether or not I should upgrade.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
