Assigning IP address through policies

OwenAmbrose — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:57:07 +0000

For one of the small businesses I support, I have set up an Rsync backup from their office server to one of the managers home laptops.

I did a couple of trial runs but on the first real run which was over a weekend, the backup failed. I went to retry it but could not connect to the laptop. When I checked the laptop it’s IP address had changed, as it’s on DHCP from the router. I set it to a static IP address and now am able to connect again.

My worry is that if said manager takes the laptop into work and tries to connect it to the domain, the work network is on a different ip range, and even if it was on the same range, the static IP I have assigned to the laptop may conflict with an address on the network.

So I am not too familiar with domain/group policy management and am wondering if there is a way I can force the laptop to pick up a DHCP address when connected to the work domain?

Accept Security Policy at Domain Login

Maryam82 — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:19:17 +0000

We need to set up a message for users to accept when logging in their domain account.

I know an Interactive login can be defined on win2003 to display title and text.

We need to display the message once for users to accept and login and it is logged that the user accepted the policy and if they login again the message will not be displayed again

Can this be implemented with active directory policies or do we need to develop some kind of script

thank you

How to control external vendors from connecting to our internal LAN?

Khoo — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:52:32 +0000

I have a few vendors who are located at other plant. I would like to block their access to our internal network using their own notebook. How can I go about? We are using different IP addresses for all the buildings. As some of the clients are connected to this IP address, it’s not possible for us to use ACL lists in our Layer 3 switches. Do you have any other solutions? Thanks.

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!

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.
