Re: Quickbooks getting slower and slower

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

I have reservations that the .NET version would effect performance - it
would either break or fix an issue.  In my experience, Quickbooks
performance is usually effected by network performance/configuration
settings (typically on the server) - as per the reasons that others have
already sited.  I would recommend systematically going through all
configs/service settings to make certain that they are optimal for your
environment.  OS filesystem settings should be involved.

Next, I would take a look at the database itself: Size, objects, etc.  You
may have reached a performance threshold in the database.

Question:  Did the performance issues start to occur after a server update?

 Well, we have standalone clients, so its not the server.
 On a couple of machines I worked on reinstalling .NET 1, 1.1,2,3,3.5
 seemed to fix a quickbooks problem.
 On others I have noticed that Quickbooks sometimes updated or installed
 some .NET software.
 On others I noticed that there are .NET updates that have not installed,
 but quickbooks runs ok.
 So I am not sure it is .NET, but suspecting it *might* have something to
 do with some of the slowness and popups we are seeing on some computers.

 So I am thinking that Quickbooks has some .NET code in it.  Maybe, but,
 not a lot of time has been spent on Quickbooks.

 Just looking for verification, so I threw it out there.

 What particular reason are you suspecting .NET to be the problem?

 Found out that Intuit remotely moved Quickbooks from the server (wish I had
 known this earlier, lol) to a user's PC in hopes of fixing the problem.
 That's the Database Service wasn't running on the server.  However, it
 wasn't performing any better on the user's workstation either.  Doing the
 same tasks in a different Quickbooks file such as the sample file, results
 in things working as fast as expected.  Only when using the company file do
 things get slow...  So now we're waiting on a response from Intuit's
 datamanagement team.  Fun.

 Thanks for the tips.

 The database service definitely needs to be running.  Even though they
 tout they have an enterprise version it really isn't a true database
 server. So stuff still works but really slow when the database service
 isn't running.

  The enterprise version is not true client server (thats why you still
  need to have a share with wide open permissions to the company files) so
  make sure networking is solid.
 
  I had one case where the database service didn't start on the server
 and
  the users complained about slowness.
 
  How big is the company file?

 Greetings from New Joisey,

  When I get home tomorrow, I will be beta testing a new type of security
 software.  I have been asked to test physical Win7 x64.  I have been saving
 spam comments from my website and a few spam emails (I don't get that many
 from O365).  Is there a website somewhere that has a list of known
 malicious sites so I can hit them and see what this new security software
 does?  The vendor wants me to really hammer this software with site
 drive-bys, spam links, malicious URLs, etc.

  My test PC will be isolated and every other PC on my network will be
 powered off and cable removed from switch (just to be super safe).

  Thanks

 Ok, I have a strange one.  This is a 64 bit 2008 server with SP2.  It is
 complaining about the C drive being full.  The C drive is 98.5 GB in disk

  When I use windirstat to look at the drive and see where the space hog is,
 it shows only 23 GB of files on the drive.

 Shadow copies shows as disabled and there are no previous versions listed

Hey Guys.
   
I'm looking for a hardened ethernet switch. In particular, I'm
 looking
  for
something that...
   
A) Can handle a high temperature range. It's going to be inside a
 small
building without heat or AC, and it can get both very hot and cold
 out
   here.
B) Can be mounted in a 19 inch wall enclosure (we're thinking this
 one:

C) Has fiber uplinks or GBIC slots (There is an existing 1000baseSX
 to
  the
building)
D) And doesn't cost too much. Under a grand would be nice, but I'll
  settle
for under $2k.
   
Thus far, I have looked at Moxa and EtherWAN. Thanks for any
 suggestions
or recommendations.

Re: Recommended hardened ethernet switch?

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

To keep your searching simple, I would lean more toward rugged,
which typically relates to physical durability.  Hardened is usually a
term related to security-related accessibility.

 And I've found some. They're just all in the $3k+ range. At that cost, I
 can use a cheap HP switch and replace it if/when it fails.

 I'll keep looking. Thanks.

 Please fix.

 Hey Guys.

 I'm looking for a hardened ethernet switch. In particular, I'm looking for
 something that...

 A) Can handle a high temperature range. It's going to be inside a small
 building without heat or AC, and it can get both very hot and cold out here.
 B) Can be mounted in a 19 inch wall enclosure (we're thinking this one:
 http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=5047)
 C) Has fiber uplinks or GBIC slots (There is an existing 1000baseSX to the
 building)
 D) And doesn't cost too much. Under a grand would be nice, but I'll settle
 for under $2k.

 Thus far, I have looked at Moxa and EtherWAN. Thanks for any suggestions
 or recommendations.

  Not nearly so much, unless it's near a body of water.
 
  Eastern WA is usually pretty dry - it's considered a part of the Sonoran
  desert (which extends all the way to Eastern British Columbia).
 
  I'd expect humidity maybe as much as 75% once in a while, but there will
  definitely be days in both Summer and Winter where the humidity will be
  very low - probably less than 10%.
 
  Depending on microclimates, temps range from well below freezing (but
  probably not as low as 0F) in the Winter to a max of about 110F or so
 for a
  few days in the Summer.

Re: UAC and local admin rights

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

There are many niche/industry apps out there that require admin rights.
 While I personally believe that any app should be able to be configured
via security on the file system and the registry to not require admin privs
- it can be a hassle to support broad-spectrum, and there are software
vendors that will not support such modified environments.

I dont agree with or advocate the practices - but I've certainly
encountered the issues.

 wireless Guest network. I want this network to be completely separate
 from the school network, including what internet ISP they are going to use.

 I know I could do this by using 2 separate content filters. I'm interested
 to see if there is a solution that can do it with a single device. I want
 to be able to manage/search the content filter on both networks.

 So in the end, I'm looking for something like this:

 ISP1 ---  --- Guest Network

 + Filter +

 ISP2 ---  --- School Network

Re: Content Filter for Dual Networks

I am not knowledged in Lightspeed System's Total Traffic Control and have
no idea what its content filtering capabilities are, or your actual needs,
so I cannot make a comparison.

 We have the option of moving to Lightspeed's new appliance (We are
 currently running TTC on a windows server), which would be an $6000-$7000
 investment. The salesman says he thinks it can do what I want it to do, but
 what a salesman says, I can't currently verify.

 For due-diligence, I'm looking for other solutions to compare. I was
 hoping to hear from the list if there were others who were doing something
 simular to my proposed Dual Network setup.

  Please define what you are looking for in a content filter, and your
 price
  range.  There are many devices that support multiple WAN ports that
 provide
  different levels of content filtering at different price ranges.

 Looking to replace an FM/CD player in my kitchen. Wife and kids primarily
 listen to the FM radio and sometimes CDs. But the CD's are all ripped to my
 computer and are on our iPhones as well. So. feature set I'm looking for in
 order of preference:

 FM Radio
 Wi-Fi
 Ability to stream from PC
 Internet Radio
 iPhone dock

 Based on that set of features, I've found the following devices:

 Anyone have experience with any of them?

 I’ve been requested to get this info at each machine’s login. This would
 be for hundreds of networks, none under my control, but would be helpful
 for the setup of a product we sell. Client systems are MacOS,
 WinXP/Vista/Win7:

1. Workstation name (and any other identifying information)
2. Operating System
3. Default browser and version
4. Version of Adobe Flash
5. Screen Resolution setting
6. Bandwidth or response time

 Most of this looks straightforward, but 5 and 6 I am not sure how to
 handle in a scripted manner. Ideally we (NWEA) has a .ZIP file our clients
 could unpack and deploy via GPO/login script. I’ve been talked to come up
 with a script template and documentation our customers could use. Also
 ideally the output would be into a single .CSV so our customer’s AD guys
 would look at a page and quickly find suboptimal systems.

 Even if could only be Windows machines that would be helpful. Anyone?

 Anyone out there having a problem with their NetFlix app on a Samsung TV
 or Blu-Ray player this week? Seems very coincidental that it started right
 after the European DST date of 3/25/2012. First noticed it on 3/26/2012
 with my UN46C6400. Everything works great up until the loading screen.
 Status bar never moves, and then about 30 seconds later you get a message
 “We're having trouble playing this title right now.  Please try again later
 or select a different title. Internet connection is fine and other apps
 work (VuDu, Amazon ). Tested NetFlix on my Sony Blu-Ray player and no
 issues. Did all the typical troubleshooting steps, reset TV, de-activated
 the device and re-activated. No luck. Then I went and tried my BD-D6500.
 Now on this device, nothing seems to happen on the status bar page for
 about 90 seconds then it starts to load and everything is fine. Never used
 to be like that, usually started loading immediately. I’m thinking this
 might be a timeout issue, that the TV has a much lower timeout than the
 blu-ray player, but no way to prove that. So far support from NetFlix and
 Samsung haven’t been any help.

 Subject:RE: NetFlix app on Samsung devices
  --



 I stream Netflix to my TV from my Xoom across the HDMI port, and that is
 working fine.  Not that that helps you much, just that it is working on
 other arrangements.

 Any firmware updates for the Samsung you missed?

 Subject:* OT: NetFlix app on Samsung devices

 Anyone out there having a problem with their NetFlix app on a Samsung TV
 or Blu-Ray player this week? Seems very coincidental that it started right
 after the European DST date of 3/25/2012. First noticed it on 3/26/2012
 with my UN46C6400. Everything works great up until the loading screen.
 Status bar never moves, and then about 30 seconds later you get a message
 “We're having trouble playing this title right now.  Please try again later
 or select a different title. Internet connection is fine and other apps
 work (VuDu, Amazon ). Tested NetFlix on my Sony Blu-Ray player and no
 issues. Did all the typical troubleshooting steps, reset TV, de-activated
 the device and re-activated. No luck. Then I went and tried my BD-D6500.
 Now on this device, nothing seems to happen on the status bar page for
 about 90 seconds then it starts to load and everything is fine. Never used
 to be like that, usually started loading immediately. I’m thinking this
 might be a timeout issue, that the TV has a much lower timeout than the
 blu-ray player, but no way to prove that. So far support from NetFlix and
 Samsung haven’t been any help.

Hi, Mack,

What's happening?  We need to talk about your email signature...  Yeah. Did

 It's not like insider threats have plummeted to 0.

 The fact is that most organizations do not need to call for external
 infosec resources for insider threats.

 The Verizon security team dealt with ~855 cases worldwide.  That's a
 good sample side for obtaining data about specific attacks, but it's not 
 so
 large that its fully representative of the entire attack landscape.

 The discussion here was about passwords, which I hope you'd remember
 considering you started it.  Thus, within the context of the thread 
 itself,
 the focus is on the usefulness and viability of strong passwords whether 
 in
 the standard format, or as a passphrase.

 This other stuff you added is not really germane to the discussion,
 unless your goal is simply to hijack your own thread.

 That's an implementation problem.



 If I choose a passphrase of Mary had a little lamb then of course
 that will be relatively weak as passphrases go.  That that is not an

 Lots of things are undermined by poor choices.   Completely random
 20 character passwords with a unicode character set are undermined by
 having them posted on sticky notes.

   I'd rather have fast list response and associated griping than the
 current situation.

 My cynical mind?  GFI doesn't want to maintain the lists, or at least
 not do it for free.  Sunbelt built a lot of goodwill by hosting the list
 and getting free advertising out of it.  Since GFI has taken over, I see
 very little marketing to the lists, so I can't help but wonder if the lists
 are just being squeeze out.  That's me.  I'm a cynical guy.

 Note, it's not unreasonable for GFI to not want to continue hosting the
 list.  They don't owe us anything.  However, the reverse is true.  And a
 lot of goodwill will end up getting trashed if the list response time isn't
 fixed, and it continues to hobble along like this for a while.  I'm saying,
 in response to Richard's post, that I am willing to pay a little money for
 continued access to this community.  I don't mind the OT posts, and a
 moderator can always step in and say, cool it, whether it is free or

 There's no security whatsoever on the accounts of members of these lists.

 Go ahead, go log in as anybody that you want to, change their password,

 lists if you want.

 Do you need ANY OTHER REASON to move the list?

   I'd rather have fast list response and associated griping than the
 current situation.

 My cynical mind?  GFI doesn't want to maintain the lists, or at least
 not do it for free.  Sunbelt built a lot of goodwill by hosting the list
 and getting free advertising out of it.  Since GFI has taken over, I see
 very little marketing to the lists, so I can't help but wonder if the 
 lists
 are just being squeeze out.  That's me.  I'm a cynical guy.

 Note, it's not unreasonable for GFI to not want to continue hosting
 the list.  They don't owe us anything.  However, the reverse is true.  And
 a lot of goodwill will end up getting trashed if the list response time
 isn't fixed, and it continues to hobble along like this for a while.  I'm
 saying, in response to Richard's post, that I am willing to pay a little
 money for continued access to this community.  I don't mind the OT posts,
 and a moderator can always step in and say, cool it, whether it is free
 or subscriber sponsored

 I dislike getting a lmgtfy.com response.
 5. I've accidentally hijacked other people's topics. Oops.

 Thus, I try to only ask the important questions. I don't usually have
 the time to watch my lists all day, so a detailed conversation isn't always
 possible. I really do like asking the list for opinions on things, mainly
 so I can see what the wisdom of the crowd takes on various issues or

 By Dan Goodin
 Ars Technica
 March 14, 2012

 Passwords that contain multiple words aren't as resistant as some
 researchers expected to certain types of cracking attacks, mainly
 because users frequently pick phrases that occur regularly in everyday
 speech, a recently published paper concludes.

 Security managers have long regarded passphrases as an
 easy-to-remember way to pack dozens of characters into the string that
 must be entered to access online accounts or to unlock private
 encryption keys. The more characters, the thinking goes, the harder it
 is for attackers to guess or otherwise crack the code, since there are
 orders of magnitude more possible combinations.

 But a pair of computer scientists from Cambridge University has found
 that a significant percentage of passphrases used in a real-world
 scenario were easy to guess. Using a dictionary containing 20,656
 phrases of movie titles, sports team names, and other proper nouns,
 they were able to find about 8,000 passphrases chosen by users of
 Amazon's now-defunct PayPhrase system. That's an estimated 1.13
 percent of the available accounts. The promise of passphrases'
 increased entropy, it seems, was undone by many users' tendency to
 pick phrases that are staples of the everyday lexicon.

 Our results suggest that users aren't able to choose phrases made of
 completely random words, but are influenced by the probability of a
 phrase occurring in natural language, researchers Joseph Bonneau and
 Ekaterina Shutova wrote in the paper (PDF), which is titled
 Linguistic properties of multi-word passphrases. Examining the
 surprisingly weak distribution of phrases in natural language, we can
 conclude that even 4-word phrases probably provide less than 30 bits
 of security which is insufficient against offline attack, the paper
 says.

 The LISTSERV can't keep up with the traffic.

 There's no security whatsoever on the accounts of members of these lists.

 Go ahead, go log in as anybody that you want to, change their password,
 their name, and their Email address.  Heck, sign them up for other mailing
 lists if you want.

 Do you need ANY OTHER REASON to move the list?

 BTW, you're welcome for pointing that out to everybody.

   I'd rather have fast list response and associated griping than the
 current situation.

 My cynical mind?  GFI doesn't want to maintain the lists, or at least
 not do it for free.  Sunbelt built a lot of goodwill by hosting the list
 and getting free advertising out of it.  Since GFI has taken over, I see
 very little marketing to the lists, so I can't help but wonder if the lists
 are just being squeeze out.  That's me.  I'm a cynical guy.

 Note, it's not unreasonable for GFI to not want to continue hosting the
 list.  They don't owe us anything.  However, the reverse is true.  And a
 lot of goodwill will end up getting trashed if the list response time isn't
 fixed, and it continues to hobble along like this for a while.  I'm saying,
 in response to Richard's post, that I am willing to pay a little money for
 continued access to this community.  I don't mind the OT posts, and a
 moderator can always step in and say, cool it, whether it is free or
 subscriber sponsored

Re: Windows File Archive

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

On the otherhand, a bitch-slap can be a healthy and needed aspect of
Apprenticeship.  It makes people think - about thinking for themselves and
to make greater considerations of the details involved with
whatever their question may be - before they ask an incomplete question, or
try to move forward with an incomplete thought again.

This list, while very friendly, has been more tolerating than recently than
in the past of such things.  Not necessarily a bad thing, but also
something notably annoying to many more experienced professionals.  And
there is the rub; this is a bitch-slap, not an act of unprofessional -
because this is not a professional forum.  This forum is highly social, and
a bitch-slap is a social adjustment.

 The disk stuff indicates the disk is not fast enough to keep up with
 demand. You can solve that with more spindles or faster spindles.

 Page Pool utilization will be resolved by x64 (or even x86 on 2008).
 That's indicative of crappy drivers, large tokens, and/or people doing

 Well, the kernel mode, paged pool, and interrupt time are items that will
 be specifically reduced with an x64 OS.

 The I/O situation is indicative of disk queuing which is hypervisor
 related. Dunno how you optimize that in VMware, there are a number of
 potentials in Hyper-V.

 It *is* a busy box, and migrating the iSCSI LUNs to a 64bit server is
 something I've definitely considered. I have a Dell R310 with 16gb RAM that
 I could use, but it's already got 9 active VMs, although they're not heavy
 hitters. AFAICT, probably the highest-use machines on the ESXi 4.1 box are
 the secondary DC (no FSMO roles, but does do DNS and
 WINS) and the issuing CA box.

 It's currently a VM on what I believe to be an underpowered ESX 3.5 box -
 I think it's possible that it's simply starved for resources on that ESX
 box.

 I'm sure there's something out there like perfmon for VMware that I can
 use to capture performance over time - I'd like to measure and analyze the
 performance of the ESX 3.5 box while the backups are happening against the
 file server.

 I'm also considering moving the Win2k3 file server VM to the ESX box and
 seeing if the situation improves.

  In order to support an iPad binge by some VIP PHBs, I had to get
 into the business of supporting iTunes on our corporate PCs.  We've
 supposedly got things down to a science, where a batch file does the
 install and/or update, installing only the components we want,
 disabling unwanted features.  If updates are cached locally, it's in
 Local Settings or some other temporary location that we're not
 backing up anyway.

  I can share the batch file, if anyone is interested.

  We've still got the backup bloat of iDevice backups, though.  iTunes
 apparently stores backups of the iDevices into the user's roaming
 profiles.  From the size of the folders, it includes all software, and
 maybe even media (music/video), all with opaque ID names, in a
 big-ball-of-mud directory tree.  So it's not possible to, say, exclude
 (easily reinstallable) apps while preserving the user's iDevice data.

 1.  Their update process can break easily, more often on 64bit.  I'm not
 saying it common, but its easy.  And its not easy to fix.  IME it
 frequently requires a manual wipe of some kind.

 2.  They cache all of their installation files.  Just like what Adobe
 Reader and related products do, they save/store install files of every
 single downloaded upgrade that they process (firmware as well).  As well
 as multiple backups of devices that are attached/synched, and other crap.
  If you are space-strapped, and have finite backup/sync windows - your
 processes can be seriously impacted.

 I've seen backups impacted by 10GB of older/cached upgrades of Apple
 products per user.  It just keeps growing over time until you manually
 delete it.  I've been a bit of a backup whore recently, so this in turn has
 made me a disk-space analyst as well.   I am extremely annoyed with Apple,
 Adobe, and Quickbooks especially.  Some of it can be easily compensated for
 with scripts.  Some of it, not so easily scripted without non-builtin tools.

  Yah, they got away from that idea quickly, fortunately.  I think
 they realized it was really annoying to the viewer.  The show
 certainly ain't perfect.

  That said, one thing I like about the show is how the characters are
 deliberately far from perfect.  They're flawed people in crummy
 situations and don't always make good decisions.  It's not a happy
 utopia thing.  That feels a lot more real to me than, say, /Star Trek:
 The Next Generation/, despite the rather more fantastical setting.
 The characters also go through realistic development and change.

  I find the behind-the-scenes and audio commentary really good, if
 you like that sort of thing.  The story behind the production is
 interesting: The Henson company wanted a vehicle to show off their
 effects capabilities.  O'Bannon had a story idea.  SCIFI and the BBC
 wanted a new SF show.  And it ended up being mostly being made in
 Australia by Australians.  Listening to the cast and crew talk about
 how they pulled off some of the stuff is also interesting, especially
 when budget or tech limits come into play.

Re: Wireless bridge between buildings.

If you truly need that kind of bandwidth, run a pipe.

Otherwise, make a true determination of your bandwidth needs, and you may
be able to get away with wireless.

 Hi folks,

 Have about 10 building on a campus. They are currently connected with
 fiber from a main hub. The fibers run through tunnels. The buildings all
 contain clients (and VOIP phones), with no servers. All the servers are in
 main building, and all traffic comes through here.

 ** **

 The tunnels are old, and there is talk of collapsing them. I’m thinking of
 possibly putting up line-of-sight antennas on each building as a way of
 connecting. Distances would be  300 meters.

 ** **

 My question is.   Is there wireless fast enough for this? Right now the
 fiber is running 1 GBs (62.5 Um). I would need to have communications be at
 least this fast, if not faster.

 ** **

 If this is not feasible/possible, there is a possibility of running pipe
 in the current tunnels, and pulling new fiber (50 Um) (which I’m thinking
 of doing anyway, to get faster speed), then these pipes will be buried when
 the tunnels are collapsed. Upgrading this in the future would be tedious.*

 Other ideas are welcome.

 This is the longest of long shots, but knowing how nifty Shazam is for the
 IPhone at identifying songs, I don't suppose (my Googling is drawing a
 blank) there's any kind of software out there that can peruse your mp3
 collection, identify the tunes and correct all the tags for you (artist,
 year, album, etc.)? This is on my PC, no doubt ITunes probably does this by
 reading your mind or something, but that's not an option.

 Going through 40GB of files one by one doesn't appeal, but I've got a
 mysterious feeling that somewhere in my future this is going to happen :-)
 I'm using MP3 Tag Tools which makes it slightly easier, but not vastly.

 TIA for any possible miraculous help,

 I disabled NetBIOS at home for a while (3-4 months), but didn't like the

 I haven't bothered to remove it from %work%. Easy enough to mitigate the

 It doesn't amount to much value, IMO.

 Farscape was an awesome series and I doubt it.  His son was involved
 withthe project as a producer and later bought rights to it.  Jim Henson
 produced Dark Crystal (which I think was underrated)  and his goal was the
 advancement of pupetry.

 Encryption of everything causes significant burdens, many of which can

 You're going to need really good key management, or else the whole
 system will be burdensome and yet easily undermined.

 Just make sure you log data is being saved to a location that has very
 limited access by anyone else, and lock it down.

 Or, price out encryption to the fullest and have your management team
 faint.

 Then, show them this thread and get them to manage their risks in a more

 This is a little embarrassing as I’m sure I’m missing something obvious

 I can tell it to ignore the old files in the source, what I simply cannot
 fathom is how to make it mirror this to the destination so I only ever have
 the last X days worth of files.

I mean only in regards to a couple of the more annoying characters, as

 Farscape was an awesome series and I doubt it.  His son was involved

 produced Dark Crystal (which I think was underrated)  and his goal was the
 advancement of pupetry.

 A few months ago, there was a discussion here about best monitoring tool.
 Longitude, from Heroix and Op5 were recommended, among others.

 However SpiceWorks seems to provide monitoring of all sorts for free.
 There must be some catch. I would appreciate if some of you can share your
 experience with SpiceWorks -- both good and bad. Thanks.

Re: SpiceWorks -- Too good to be true?

True, but I figured it would be helpful for you to see what their official
position is on it - so you can identify the catch you are looking for.
 Anyone's else's opinions will be pros and cons of use.

Its my understanding that this would be an indication of utilizing
snapshots in an very inappropriate fashion - although I still cant fathom
how you could get it *that* big.

 Avira is flagging that OfficeScan is still installed despite having
 followed Trend’s manual uninstall checklist and found nothing.

 I’m trying to find out from Avira what their tool is matching on but
 equally I’d like to try Trend’s uninstall tool (I used to have a copy when
 we used OfficeScan but I no longer have it to hand).

 Thanks,

  As you guys know, after much gnashing on this list I was finally able
  to get SAML working with ADFS. What took too-many hours of banging on
  it can know be done soup-to-nuts (including building a server OS from
  scratch - just to make sure I have the steps right) in two hours.
 
  There were a couple of tripping points if you are new to this kind of
 thing:
  1. Download ADFS 2.0, the ADFS role in 2008 R2 looks different and is
  likely
  1.1 and not 2.0 (Google-Fu gives me conflicting info) 2. During
  configuration, ADFS 2.0 by default assigns self-signed token-signing
  and token- decrypting certificates, so even if you assign an
  appropriate 3rd party certificate for Service Communications in ADFS,
  the other two certificates need to be manually reconfigured. This
  requires you to turn off automatic certificate rollover by using a
  PowerShell script (the PS commands are provided in the error message,
  you'd think they could offer a little add-in would you like this
  change to be made? you just click OK to). Once you run this script
  you can then add the certificates, and then you need to assign them as
  primary. [1][2] 3. In ADFS there is also a step where you assign the
  Federation Service Name, and in our case I used a wildcard cert but
  the service name needs to be an explicit host. Whatever name is
  assigned here (say SingleSignOn.nwea.org) an appropriate DNS entry (in
  my case a
  CName) needs to be assigned so the DNS resolves appropriately.
  4. In this particular case, I had to make sure I did NOT assign an
  encryption certificate for the relying party 5. The secure hash
  algorithm needs to match the vendor (SHA-1 or SHA-256).
 
  Other than that, it is almost straightforward, LOL. I built a 2nd
  machine this morning from scratch - including OS install - to
  operating SSO server in about
  2 hours (had to confirm/refine my build from scratch documentation).

  [1] There may be a way to do this during setup in ADFS, but I didn't
  see it as I was stepping though.
  [2] It was this step that gave us invalid certificate was sent to
 relying party
  errors.

Re: PC that can't Google

Some [possibly] easy no-touch cleanup:

*Reset Hosts File*: *MicrosoftFixit50267*.msi
Reset Internet Explorer Settings: *MicrosoftFixit50195*.msi
Reset TCP/IP: *MicrosoftFixit50199*.msi
Reset Winsock: *MicrosoftFixit50203*.msi

Run them quietly ala:

msiexec /i msi file /quiet /passive /norestart

Restart afterward.

 One of our VPs brought in his company-supplied home PC (Dell Optiplex

 and he couldn't change it back. He also said he couldn't access Google.

 His home page had been taken over by My Web Search. I checked the Vipre
 quarantine and parts of My Web Search had been removed so I could uninstall
 it. I ran a Vipre deep scan and installed the latest version of
 Malwarebytes and ran its deep scan as well. It detected a number of
 registry My Web Search entries.

 Everything seemed to be running smoothly and much quicker after the
 scanning and deleting. My Web Search was gone but the Google problem
 persists. Using either Firefox or IE, you can access any website with out
 problem accept Google.com. At the command prompt, you can ping or tracert
 any website and it will resolve the name to it's IP address, accept
 Google.com. Google.com just times out with the error that the host name
 could not be found. I've checked there is no lmhost file. I've also ran
 ipconfig

 The PC is attached to our work network and through DHCP has picked up our
 standard DNS server to use. Everyone else can get to Google.com.

 What else could be interfering on just the Google.com name?
