I'm not the one making this decision. I just got off the phone with someone else who also doesn't get to make this decision. Basically the idea is this. We are at a university. The problem is that many times students are faculty, faculty are students, staff are students, and so on, you get...

I can't use user policy in the OU because user accounts will not be placed into OU's, only computer accounts. the reasons for this are because many users could fall into more than one OU and it becomes restrictive to place them into one. The other reason is the UNIX LDAP will not mirror...

that would apply the policy to everyone in the domain, i only need to apply it to the members of an OU. of course, it would not hurt to apply it to everyone, except that then all those users would be griping. I don't have the authority to decide to force this change for everyone.

My situation does not allow for users to be placed in an OU, but only computers. However, I really need to be able to require password lockouts on screensavers. Since these are usually enforced via user policy I have a problem. I'm wondering if anyone knows another way to force the password...

I set up a filter requiring all IP traffic between my machine (MachineA) and another IP address (MachineB) to be secured. I have chosen to use a verisign certificate for authentication. MachineB has only been set up to use Kerberos. If machineA should not allow any unsecured traffic and is...

Can anyone shed any light on how the IPSec filters play into setting up IPSec. I would only like to require IPsec for communications with specified other machines. I can see where to add filters and where to take action based on filters but the actions don't seem to be tied directly to a...

Thanks, it worked. How did you know which library? is there a way to tell based on the errors, other than just knowing, that Wsock32.lib is the one that contains those unresolved symbols?

I don't know if anybody has any experience compiling netcat or cryptcat on vis studio c++. I obtained the windows source files from http://farm9.com/content/Free_Tools/Cryptcat then I created a project in vis studio and added all of the c++ files that came in the download to that project...

Is there a resource that tell me what logon types there are and what they mean? this is an example entry from NT4 security log: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: dkw023000 Domain: CAMPUS Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: KSecDD Authentication Package...

I have implemented logging logon failures on my NT 4 domain. However, bad logon failures from a win2k machine aren't showing up. I think its because 2k caches domain passwords to verify against, so the pdc does't ever get asked the bad password. Does anybody have any ideas of whats going on...

i rebooted my server last night and today the dns server seems to not be working. the server's ip address on the provate network is 192.168.1.2. i have made sure the dns service is running and also restarted it with still no success. when i do nslookup on a machine with that dns server...
