Both are brand new items. I have a brand-spankin' new HP Pavilion that has a Ralink 802.11n internal wireless card and Vista Home Premium. The system type is 64-bit OS. Drivers for the wireless card were last updated August 2008. Since my previous router did not support 802.11n, I purchased...

If you can get a copy of the CobIT 4.0 I.S. Audit Controls (?actual name escapes me at the moment) document, study that as that document is the basis for the CISA. The same concepts of that document is applied with HIPAA and SOX. You may also want to check out the CISM: Certified Information...

I did not try the regular user rights. Instead the quick fix I did was revert him back to IE6. That seems to have taken care of all his scripting errors. I found one web site yesterday that stated that Microsoft is currently working on this issue and to keep using Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced problems with IE7 and power users? I have one user on the LAN that is having problems viewing web page content. Yet when he opens the same page in Firefox it displays properly. This is effecting other areas that depends on IE, such as Outlook. Any insight (other than...

I view the 2 weeks notice as an attempt not to burn bridges before you leave a place. Its strictly a courtesy and if you don't give 2 weeks then you risk the option of using that employer as a reference.

One of my users is having difficulties emailing to a specific email address in the asian continent. He can receive emails from the customer without any issues, but if he replies or emails the customer directly, the customer in asia never receives the email. Telneting to the ip address on port...

So wait - Dollie do you allow IMs on their machines and the network? We disabled anyone from using instant messenger on our network. I'm just curious because I'm looking for more options. I spent today just messing around with GPO.

Oooo...I like the cache. Yes, this probably has to do with the cache, but they still log into their laptop off the domain using the domain instead of the local computer. I'm just working on creating some form of flexibility between the user and the admin when they are off site and out of state.

I would like to implement a group policy for some of the laptops that connect to our domain. Some of the policies I want to create include preventing installation of software, and preventing them from uninstalling software. However my fear is that when these users go to leave and they are no...

Do you use a firewall? If so, see if you can't block a range of IP addresses. Look up Facebook's range with samspade.org.

Hmmm...thanks for the tips and recommendations everyone. I was searching around and found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307882/en-us Basically how to set up GPO on the local computer. I probably will implement something like this to fine tune that authority balance. I guess I wasn't...

What sort of access do you allow on your laptops? I'm curious mainly because we recently began implementing all user access to laptops to have "Power User" access. If they need administrative privileges to install anything, then they need to be in the office where a member of IT can install...

One of my users is set up as a Power User on his laptop. He is out of state right now, but is trying to check his email via our VPN. Unfortunately the SSL Network Extender gives him an error message saying that he needs to have Administrator privileges. To what and in what I do not know at...

IMO it depends on who you define as a "jerk". There was one article on MSN a while ago that said that its not brains that will get you promoted, its brown nosing. I think this article reflects that idea. If you constantly are stepping up and making yourself known to senior management, then...

Whether or not its illegal varies by state laws. Will it be a credit background check or a criminal background check? If its a credit check, then laws under the FCRA will help any misunderstanding. If its criminal check with the state. Perhaps there was something that happened that caused...
