Secret Service and identity theft

Margaret Rouse — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:32:47 +0000

I was researching the TJX data breach (since I was a victim) and found myself being directed to the Secret Service Web site. What’s up with that?

windows password question

Minxcomp1 — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:09:16 +0000

I recently purchased a computer from a “going out of business” sale for my fathers business and when I try to logon to Windows I get the logon screen with domain. I have a valid username and password but obviously i am not connected to a domain. I need to bypass this if possible. The safe mode trick that I see all over did not work. Please help as our business is suffering!!!

Selecting an area within security to start

Secmax — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 16:06:15 +0000

Hi,
I’m studying for an MSc in Information Security from Royal Holloway University of London, I have a B.Engg. degree in computers and a PG Diploma in Networking and Communication as well as the CCSA and CCNA. I’m also studying for the CISSP.

Now, with all these qualifications, could you please tell me which would be the best position for me to apply for in order to get a start, and if I try that position what would my options be when I gain some experience.

Thank you!!

Remote users with VPN client slow access times

Dimchik — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 12:23:55 +0000

I have couple of remote users with VPN clients. From time to time when they are not connected to main site they report that it takes long time to open documents on local machines. Their laptops are attached to domain; I enable logon cache in for 50 logons, via policy. Am I missing anything else? It seems like their laptops trying to find dc that?s why it takes long times. Any suggestions or help.

Procedures for a new area.

Millan — Wed, 23 May 2007 22:13:31 +0000

We are a company where we have expirience on network remote administration and now we have open a new area, The area of security. Now I need to start to make new procedures like when a new customer come to us and ask if we can handle the security for his network… I need to know if some one can recommend some standard like ISO, COBIT or something like this in order to make new procedures, questionnaires and all those things.

Thanks a Lot!

Critical Error in Security Log

FlyNavy — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 07:08:33 +0000

All,
I mamange a Windows 2003 Small Business Server Network with 9 clients. The server provides all network services. We use Logon/logoff, shared storage, and print server functions. We do not use exchange except for the server reporting tool. We do use about 4 instances of SQL. All clients are Windows XP Professional patched to current standards.
I continually get an error in the security log about a Service ticket request failed. Event ID is 673. It gives the IP of the machine, the ticket options as 0×2, and the failure code as 0×20. The number of failures can range from 3 to 8 in a day for the machines in question.
After some research, it looks like a ticket expiration problem. However, I only get this error on 3 of the 9 machines constantly. All machines are used every day. Most access a network resource every day. The other machines may generate this error once or twice a month. I am concerned that there is a configuration problem with the 3 machines.
I have followed several basic troubleshooting recommendations from Microsoft KB and a few other sources. Nothing helps or describes to me the difference between the 3 machines and the rest.
Any recommendations for either fixing or understanding the difference in the error reports? Thanks for the help.

Moving into the InfoSec role

Kushalp — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 13:36:26 +0000

I work at a company that currently does not have a position dedicated to information security. I come from a background in networking with a good portion of my focus on firewalls and other security related technologies.

I am interested in positioning myself into the role of InfoSec Admin at my compnay and was hoping that i could get some advice on how to sell the position to a reluctant management team. I know where most of our security issues currently are, but I need a more general description of the role and its value in order to justify dedicating a good percentage of my time to it.

Any advice and help would be appreciated.

User rights,

Gforsythe — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:46:21 +0000

Key applications/services: Active Directory, Domain controller, Terminal Services, Dentrix.

2 Servers running Win server 2003 standard.

Network Setup, server3 hosts database/application called Dentrix. Server4 hosts the client for Dentrix and is a terminal server so that remote users can access program. This client needs to be run as (minimum) poweruser when run on a “normal” desktop/server, easy. However, I have server4 running as a BDC. The only way I have been able to get the client software to run properly is to make those remote users administrators in AD, (AAAHHH)!!

I cannot make server3 a DC per the vendor, conflicts will arise. These are the only two servers at this site, my primary DC is at HQ (connectivity via PTP T1), my only other choice is to demote server4 and have no BDC, if I cannot find an alternative.

How do I emulate a poweruser for a user logging into a terminal server that is also a domain controller?
