I've got my body tuned so it knows it's not expecting much sleep in the 
conference weeks. I even took the morning shifts in the Ask-the-Expert Area to 
make sure that I have to get up and will not miss more of the conference than 
necessary. And we were always the last one leaving the public areas of the 
hotels.

 

Hope that Vegas is a more fun place - in Orlando they were shutting everything 
down at 1am, in Barcelona at least the Hilton did the same.

Las Vegas (at least on the main strip) is a 24x7 town - the casinos
intentionally crank down the air-conditioning, display no clocks, and
keep the lights going full blare so that you have no way of knowing
what time it is - all the better to keep you there gambling longer.  A
common occurence  is to walk out of a casino thinking that it's around
11pm, only to find that it's more like 4am.  It even happens to me,
and I usually have a pretty good internal clock.  :-)

What interests me about that is the changes to the VS and how it decides 
What to do with the from field based on anti-spoofing and anti-spamming 
technology additions. Are these all the same windows account that is 
attached to the different mailboxes? Or did you create mulitple active 
security principals and you're specifying each account in that IMAP settings? 


One thing that has prevented people from using this method is that Outlook 
is known to have issues when using SMTP and MAPI providers. As such, I 
don't recommend that path even if it's currently working for you. 
Sometimes, it's an issue waiting to happen at others it doesn't surface. 
That's a bit too risky for something based on science in my mind.

While in LV a couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to visit the 
absolutely spectacular Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area 
(http://www.desertusa.com/redrock/).  It's about 20 miles NW of LV.  If you're 
looking for a diversion, this is a great one!  And keep an eye open for the 
wild donkeys that live in the valley.  The LV shows are also amazing.  While 
they can be somewhat pricey, be aware that there are a couple of stores (e.g., 
Tix4Tonight) that sell half-price tickets for the current day for many of the 
shows.

Las Vegas (at least on the main strip) is a 24x7 town - the casinos
intentionally crank down the air-conditioning, display no clocks, and
keep the lights going full blare so that you have no way of knowing
what time it is - all the better to keep you there gambling longer.  A
common occurence  is to walk out of a casino thinking that it's around
11pm, only to find that it's more like 4am.  It even happens to me,

Re: [ActiveDir] Way OT: DC Server monitoring tools

Hmm.. Plenty of good ideas, but I have to admit if you find MOM difficult and don't want to spend the time, most of the solutions talked about will have similar issues. I admit MOM interface is terrible for what you sound like you want to do. Then again, can it be simpler (the answer's yes, but that's another discussion.)

The benefit of MOM is that it comes out of the box configured with plenty of thresholds already configured from the vendor that made your directory service. If you go looking for another product, ensure that the product you look at does the same. If they don't you'll spend oodles of time configuring and tweaking the product. In fact, I've seen implementations that finish tweaking just in time for the next upgrade cycle ;)

Al makes a good point Enterprise
Management is not typically an open-the-box, fire-and-forget solution. In fact
I havent seen a single product out there that comes close  at least not one
that I havent been terribly disappointed with. WUG (Whats Up Gold) used to
be pretty close (talking 6 years ago). But once you get the concepts, and
figure out what you want to monitor, it gets much easier. If you had all Cisco
Catalyst 4000 routers and 7000 routers and HP servers with all the same config,
and all running W2K3R2 with the same config (brands are for example), itd be
much simpler. But I doubt anyone has a homogenous system, so we get 400 EM
products all trying to be all things to all people, because as soon as one of those
vendors drops support for something, the support phones start ringing asking
for it back. Hmmm. I think thats the story of Windows as well, come to think
of it (what do you mean, no 8.3 filename support?! J)

Hmm.. Plenty of good ideas, but I have to admit if you find MOM
difficult and don't want to spend the time, most of the solutions talked about
will have similar issues. I admit MOM interface is terrible for what you
sound like you want to do. Then again, can it be simpler (the answer's
yes, but that's another discussion.) 











The benefit of MOM is that it comes out of the box configured with
plenty of thresholds already configured from the vendor that made your
directory service. If you go looking for another product, ensure that the
product you look at does the same. If they don't you'll spend oodles of
time configuring and tweaking the product. In fact, I've seen implementations
that finish tweaking just in time for the next upgrade cycle ;)

Hi all 

Just looking for some advice on server monitoring
tools, and for DC monitoring as well as exchange monitoring 

I'm currently using Argent but found it much of a
hassle to setup and the predefined rules out of the box is very standard and is
much more expensive than others as well. 

Tried installing MOM but the gui isnt easy (havent
have time to play around much)... 

Any suggestions or experience on good monitoring
products - preferred agentless.. 



Thank you and have a splendid day!

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange - Send As




Only the primary SMTP should be listed as who it is from... 
Secondaries should just be used for receipt last time I checked in E2K3... Even 
for replies.

in fact the account this is coming from has SMTP 
proxyaddresses of 

proxyAddresses: smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]proxyAddresses: 
smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]proxyAddresses: 
SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


from a time I was testing a secondary smtp, I can receive 
fine on that address but nothing is ever stamped with it when I send 
out.

For some odd reason, many (but not all) of Mark's messages 
come through my outlook (POP3/SMTP from Exchange) blank. But if I look at the 
message in OWA it looks fine. Very odd.

It would be a nice feature if it can be controlled.

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange - Send As

That's what interests me, because E2K3 is *known* to change the from to the primary address when it passes through the SMTP stack. The configuration described intrigues me because of that. 

Might have to setup a 2K3 server to find out what's changed.

This may sound whacky, but did you type the command in manually, or
did you copy/paste all or part from here or the joeware site?  I've
had adfind/admod get cranky on me when I do a copy/paste, but then
work perfectly when I type in the exact same thing manually.

That's what interests me, because E2K3 is *known* to change the from to the 
primary address when it passes through the SMTP stack.  The configuration 
described intrigues me because of that. 

Might have to setup a 2K3 server to find out what's changed.

in fact the account this is coming from has SMTP proxyaddresses of 

proxyAddresses: smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
proxyAddresses: smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
proxyAddresses: SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

from a time I was testing a secondary smtp, I can receive fine on that address 
but nothing is ever stamped with it when I send out.

additions.  Are these all the same windows account that is attached to the 
different mailboxes?  Or did you create mulitple active security principals and

One thing that has prevented people from using this method is that Outlook is

   There is a simple drop down in a new message labeled ACCOUNTS (assuming

and this is fool proof for us(and we are not all the sharpest). Simply

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange - Send As

That would be a different expectation though. If you have two mailboxes, and you have send as rights for both, then you would be able to well, send as that address. You have that right. 

However, if you authenticate as user1 and user1 has a primary address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a secondary address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] then if you try to send as 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange will (this is the contention here) translate that message to show a from address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] which would be an anti-spoofing measure IMHO. 


If you have two accounts and choose to send as a different one, that's normal and expected behavior that it would show up as sent.

The specs requirements listed seem to be overkill to me. 
Also, you can work around that by approving the updates in groups, or applying

The integration with GPO and the fact you can set it up and

effort.

Oh.. let's see.. patches Adobe and Flash and many of the other third

interface that WSUS as it only shows patches you need and lists them 
with the year-patch number that I know not the KB number I don't.


Besides.. as a SBSer who patches everything including the kitchen sink 
service, Shavlik was there for me three years ago when I needed a 
patching program and WSUS was still SUS and on the drawing board and not 
supported on SBS boxes.

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Patch Management

2006-01-06 Thread Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP]

Sorry one other thing.. when I want to have instant gratification and 
control... I patch ..right then and force a reboot of all 
workstations/servers, etc.  There's no waiting for them to check in, or 
scripting a faster checkin [horrors] to get a faster patch deployment.  
Also it had SBS specific patches way before WSUS did.


I'm a gui galwhat do you expect?

When I want things patched and patched right now...and not within the 
next # number of hours... a push solution is way better than a pull in 
my opinion.

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Patch Management

2006-01-06 Thread Rocky Habeeb

So ...
You reboot on the fly ...
And I'm sure everybody is fine with that ...
And everything is tested ...
And you can promise all your users that none of their 700 apps are going to
crash ...

Just asking, because if that's the promise of Shavlik, then I'll stop
working on trying to get my WSUS system up.

Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Patch Management

2006-01-06 Thread Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP]

After I test on a test network at home, after I apply them to my 'canary 
boxes' and check and make sure everything is fine, after I watch the 
chatter on the patchmangement.org listserve and google on the newsgroups 
for the KB article number to see if everything looks good and check my 
own SBS newsgroup because someone has already installed it during the 
lunch hour or middle of the day


That's 'instant' gratification 'after' a patch testing process and 
change management process.


Once that patch is 'approved' I want it on the boxes as fast as I can.

The tool is irrelevant.  Pick one and get it set up.  I like gui.  And 
WSUS annoys me.


It's the risk analysis and change management process that is the hard part.

I'm a gui guy, because I don't have the scripting skills yet.  So are you

Click, deploy patches now, reboot.  Rescan.  Patching done.  Confirmed.

Yes, the GUI is way easier IMHO.

WSUS takes 24 hours to sync, then for clients to check in, then you have

Re: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 Server

2006-01-06 Thread Kamlesh Parmar

I guess you will have to try the process explorer from www.sysinternals.com
In that you can search for handle of the file, and corresponding process which is holding that handle. Try not to give full name of pdf, just give initial few letters.

I have been to able to kill even the most critical services of windows with that, till now it has never disappointed.

Alsohave you checked the permission on that file.

RE: [ActiveDir] User Password Expiration

2006-01-06 Thread Lee, Wook









How about using some kind of one-time
passcode associated with a PKI-based login? If some
central authority held the passcode generator and only handed out the passcodes
on request, that might get you to the behavior youre looking for. Still,
its not trivial to set up something like that. If you can get it to work
at all, theres still the problem of the single point of failure.

The logon script could do it directly, but
to do so means that the userid has the ability to modify its own pwdLastSet
value and a bright support person will know to simply unexpire the account if
they want. The script would have to contact some service and ask for the
lockdown. This would all be custom code. Probably a web service or something
like that which the script calls out to and says Hi I am logged on
which then tells the service to lock down the account. 



I guess you could look into the limit
logon tools as well to help with this. That tool will allow you to specify that
you can only be logged on one place at once though I haven't used it to figure
out where the holes are. Others on this list have played with it though.



http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/0/fd05def7-68a1-4f71-8546-25c359cc0842/limitlogin.exe



Heck you could probably even tie into that
code somehow when a logon is processed it fires something on the server to call
out to a DC and lock the account.

No. That is not what is happening.



I work for a web hosting that has
thousands bastion host servers that are on a domain. These servers are accessed
multiple times based upon need by the support staff. So that there is no
universal password among all servers (for obvious reasons) we have this system
in place (dynamically assigned passwords for users). The problem is that
a support technician can log into multiple machines at once providing that they
login before their password expires. This is what I want to
prevent. I want for them to use their password once and only once.
I want for their password to expire upon first successful authentication use.



Joe, based off of our statements, would it
be possible to have a logon script communicate to the DC and then update a
property of that user to immediately expire their password? If so, can
you provide some direction?

If the whole goal is to disallow access to
other machines and it has to be enforced, I would not use a domain ID. I would
work with local IDs on the specific machines, these IDs should not be the same
as the IDs on other machines and shouldn't have passwords in sync. That way if
anything breaks that is supposed to go back and lock down access the folks
still don't have access to other machines. They could have access to log into
the local machine again which may be a pain but if they were just on it, I
don't see that as incredibly bad. You can obviously use the same or a similar
mechanism currently in use to lock down the ID after 2 minutes. Another
solution to lock the ID down quickly on the local machine would be to have a
service that just watches an account and once it shows password not expired,
sleep 5 seconds and then change the password and expire it again. Any lockdown
done on a domain ID would not be fully in effect until replication carried that
change to all DCs. It could get messy if DCs in different sites were used.









I guess if you wanted to get really fancy
(read complex and subject to failure and issues) with a domain ID you could
have a logon script for the ID, the logon script sends a request to some
machine with then locks the ID down, then the script keeps querying that machine
and the machine says STOP until it has detected that the ID has been locked
down on all DCs, then the script gets a GO message to continue the logon. If
the GO doesn't come in x seconds/minutes, the logon script tells the user there
has been a problem and logs them back off without ever letting them do
anything.

I checked Google and all I get are links to check the size of one mailbox.

I'm trying to avoid explorer.

I have a lot of exchange servers and i'd just like to get the size of each store in each storage group on each server.

Explorer would kill me and ESM only gives you per mailbox size.

I'm not profficent in CDO.
ExBPA actually gives you the size of every store together in your entire Org without giving you a per server or store stat.

I just thought there was a tool that can do something this basic already available.

Deji, sorry for how basic this question sounds. I wouldn't bug this list(the way i used to)without doing some research first and i honestly couldn't come up with anything.

Two suggestions:

1) Open EMS, navigate to the Mailbox Store under your store 
name. Export the list, import to Excel and add the size column (This 
will also allow you to easily find out who is using too much

2) Navigate your Exchange server and find the folder

Check the application event logs on the exchange servers 
for ESE 220. Text of those should show the size of each store as the backup of 
the store begins. Given a list of your Exchange servers, you could script that

As a by the way if any expats or people in
the know want something typically English bringing over let me know. 

The likes of Red Phone boxes; London Buses
or Beefeaters are not included.  The likes of English mustard, Jam and sweets
are.

Im doing my regular lounge act at
DEC. I dont know if Ill be able to make it to DEC 07 if I have to
pay to play (the DEC that will live in Infamy if they make us pay, haha). Maybe
theyll let me come if I volunteer to help set up or maybe do janitorial
work on the side. I know Stella and Christine are always looking for
volunteers. :-P ;-)

P.S. Haikus and Jingles have been done. Do
we dare do Limericks? The 7 Limericks of Identity Management does
have a certain ring to it. Higgledy-Piggledy? Sonnets would be too high-brow
for this crowd.

Jorge,
you're speaking at DEC. You already get a free pass.

We're not going to make speakers pay for their tickets, at least not until
after 2007. :)

RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange store size

2006-01-06 Thread Robert N. Leali


	
	
		
			
Lazy 
way to do it ... run the Microsoft Exchange Best Practices Analyzer Tool against 
all your servers and stores. When you view the report under detailed view 
under statistics summary, it will give you number of mailboxes and size of the 
store for both public and private mailboxes.

This script should do exactly what you're looking 
for.

I've used some of Glen Scale's other scripts. His is 
a very useful Exchange blog.

I checked Google and all I get are links to check the size of one 
mailbox.

I'm trying to avoid explorer.

I have a lot of exchange servers and i'd just like to get the size of each 
store in each storage group on each server.

Explorer would kill me and ESM only gives you per mailbox size.

I'm not profficent in CDO.
ExBPA actually gives you the size of every store together in your entire 
Org without giving you a per server or store stat.

I just thought there was a tool that can do something this basic already 
available.

Deji, sorry for how basic this question sounds. I wouldn't bug this 
list(the way i used to)without doing some research first and i honestly 
couldn't come up with anything.

My apologies.
Thanks alot
