Sorry for the off topic.  I am trying to find a way to define a specific exe as a virus.  Does anyone know how to do this with Trend OfficeScan?

Seems like this should be possible.

I have a user loading a game from a thumb drive.  I want to define it as a virus to keep it off the computer and kill it from their thumb drive.

any ideas are greatly appreciated.

[THIN] Re: MSI of Ica client

You could do it one of several ways…..

1. Command line:  msiexec /i “path to msi” /q INSTALLDIR=D:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client
2. Command line:  msiexec /i  “path to msi” /q ROOTDRIVE=D:\
3. Open the msi with ORCA and edit the public property

Hi,

 

I have tried creating a tailored MSI of the client and everything works great apart form the install location.

 

I want to point it to the D:\Program Files it still install on the C:\Program Files... even though it was changed during the transform process.

 

Also is their any known issues with the 10.1 client not picking up the pass through authentication in Vista.

[THIN] Re: Off topic: Make custom virus def

Hmm, that does make it more of a challenge doesn't it ;). When you say there are no DC's under your control, does that mean you don't have windows level administrative access to the machine in question?

I can't say much for Trend AV options, but the other ideas I have for trying to tackle this one...

Trust-no-Exe = http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/trust-no-exe/trust-no-exe.htm (pretty sure Jim K. linked this to the list a while back)

Or, another option on the software policy restrictions idea, would be using PSexec - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx, to remotely run and configure gpedit.msc on the workstation, and setup software restriction policies that way.

But of course if you don't have administrative rights to the machine in question, both of these options are not gonna get you too far. . .

Good luck,

Lan

I'm putting this out there everywhere I have a presence in hopes that Adobe
will get off it's butt and fix this problem. If you install Adobe 9 acrobat
reader on Windows Vista on a domain and use roaming profiles for users, be
it mandatory or not, Acrobat Reader crashes and will not run. It gives
errors in modules annots.api and also msvc80.dll.

As soon as you give the user admin priveleges the program will run. I've
tried turning off UAC, still broke, I've tried running adobe reader in
compatibility mode, still broke, I've tried running adobe as administrator
settings still broke. I've tried changing access on adobe folders to give
users full control, still broke. Giving a user administrator priveleges is
NOT an acceptable solution.

I am not the only one having this issue there are posts all over the
internet including the below samples IN the adobe forums.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5db5d

To sign up see

Paul Thurrot describes live mesh in this way "Under the Live Mesh paradigm, users create a "mesh" of interconnected devices, including PCs, Macs, various mobile devices, and a Web-based desktop. (In the current prerelease version, only PCs and the Web desktop are enabled.) You can synchronize folders (and their contents) between all of these devices, providing you with anytime-anywhere access to your data. Live Mesh also provides PC remote control functionality, so you can use your PC when away from home, for example, over the Internet."

I have been testing the service for several months.  If you install Silverlight on your system you can back up all of your pictures to the Mesh "cloud" and view them as a slide show for example. As well as upload your music and play it off line with the silverlight plugin.  Mesh lets you open Microsoft Office files directly from your online folders.

[THIN] License Management Console reports showing different numbers for products..

I’m reviewing concurrent license usage for a customer.

 

They’ve got 100 concurrent Edgesight for Presentation Server licenses, and 100 Presentation server Enterprise licenses

 

I’d expect the numbers to be the same – given  that every user logging on accesses the same servers pointing to the same license servers.

 

Yet, the Edgesight licenses show a higher concurrency rate than the presentation server licenses – in some instances the difference will be more than 20.

 

Any ideas why that should be?

Subject: [THIN] Watch out with ADOBE ACROBAT READER 9 and Vista user roaming profiles

I'm putting this out there everywhere I have a presence in hopes that Adobe will get off it's butt and fix this problem. If you install Adobe 9 acrobat reader on Windows Vista on a domain and use roaming profiles for users, be it mandatory or not, Acrobat Reader crashes and will not run. It gives errors in modules annots.api and also msvc80.dll.

As soon as you give the user admin priveleges the program will run. I've tried turning off UAC, still broke, I've tried running adobe reader in compatibility mode, still broke, I've tried running adobe as administrator settings still broke. I've tried changing access on adobe folders to give users full control, still broke. Giving a user administrator priveleges is NOT an acceptable solution.

I am not the only one having this issue there are posts all over the internet including the below samples IN the adobe forums.

[THIN] Delete Local Profiles

Hi

We are removing roaming profiles from our organisation as we don't really need them anymore.  We will use local profiles only on Windows 2003 systems.  I want to setup a scheduled task on each server that deletes all local profiles except Administrator, All Users and Default User.  AD Group Policy only has a setting to delete cached roaming profiles, not local profiles.

I know there are utilities such as delprof and remprof but I dont believe there is an easy way to say delete all except Administrator etc.  Has anyone achieved this or know of an easy way to do this?

Thanks
Angela

[THIN] Microsoft to open Live Mesh Preview to more users

Microsoft announced witin the last week or so that they will be opening up the Live Mesh Tech Preview. You can sign up directly, with no waiting list, if your country/region is the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand.


To sign up see
https://www.mesh.com/Welcome/LearnMore.aspx

Paul Thurrot describes live mesh in this way "Under the Live Mesh paradigm, users create a "mesh" of interconnected devices, including PCs, Macs, various mobile devices, and a Web-based desktop. (In the current prerelease version, only PCs and the Web desktop are enabled.) You can synchronize folders (and their contents) between all of these devices, providing you with anytime-anywhere access to your data. Live Mesh also provides PC remote control functionality, so you can use your PC when away from home, for example, over the Internet."

I have been testing the service for several months.  If you install Silverlight on your system you can back up all of your pictures to the Mesh "cloud" and view them as a slide show for example. As well as upload your music and play it off line with the silverlight plugin.  Mesh lets you open Microsoft Office files directly from your online folders.

Hi Doug,

 

I did this a few years ago for a cutomer having severe disconnection problems which ended up being due to a slightly bent Cisco router.

 

I used dumpel (Windows resource kit) to seive through the eventlogs to get all the logon disconnection/connection data and dump it as a csv file. Then there was a batch file with a for loop that cleaned things up so it ccould be imported into Excel and graphed.

 

The idea was to combine all the logs, sort on data so you could see the distribution of disconnections, on a server, time and user basis. That should let you narrow down on the cause of the problem.

 

This is the stuff I had in my notes:

 

Events extracted from event logs.

 

Security	Security	Logon/logoff	682	Session reconnected
Security	Security	Logon/logoff	683	Session disconnected
System	TermService	None	9007	Autoclient reconnect
System	TermService	None	9006	Autoclient failed (cookie)

 

The following 2 command lines were used to extract these events in comma delimited format from the security and system logs on the farm servers.

For /f %i in ('qfarm /load ^| find /I "tml"') do dumpel –s \\%i –l security –m security –e 682 683 –c >> farm_seclog.txt

For /f %i in ('qfarm /load ^| find /I "tml"') do dumpel –s \\%i –l system –m termservice –e 9007 –c >> farm_syslog.txt

The stuff we extracted were things like:

 

 

Top Ten Affected Users

User	WS Type	IP Address	ICA client build	Disconnects
cdraper	PC	10.1.2.162		90
charris	WT	10.1.4.174	931	100
dmorris *	PC	10.1.2.163	21825	250
gbousgas	PC	10.1.1.162	1050	137
jelder	PC	10.1.1.169	21825	156
kdoyle	PC	10.1.2.168	21825	117
mmckavanagh	PC	10.1.2.163		115
mparry	PC	10.1.1.167		75
scarter	PC	10.1.2.170	21825	235
tpratt	PC	10.1.2.165	21825	125

We also did a disconnections by site and disconnections by server frequency. As stated earlier, it turned out to be a router at head office. To find that took someone doing network packet capture between a server and one of the most heavily affected users.

regards,

Rick

We are in the process of trying to look thru our W2K3 Security logs to identify how many times clients are connecting/dropping/reconnecting again.

It seems like mountains of data and I was just wondering if there is a simple solution to gathering this data.

The sort of thing I would like something like:

UserA
        Date - logon
        Date - logoff (or other such thing, drop/disconnect…)

UserB
        ….

We are going thru this exercise because we have clients who are reporting drops and we want to get a better picture of how bad this is.

Any scripts out there or tools that can do this would be greatly appreciated.

The script looks strangely similar to something I would put together. :o)  At least it’s nice to know people like what I’ve done and adding new applications.

BTW
I did find someone who wrote an install script for Citrix for Adobe 9 here http://www.xenappblog.com/?p=9
However I haven't tested this and don't know if it does work, but thought I would pass it along.
