02/11/2004 01:19 AMWhen a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add
script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script
commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back,
the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program,
or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This
behavior is by design

04/22/2004 01:20 AMAfter applying the Update for Windows Media Player Script Commands
(KB828026), some URL script commands do not fire even though they
would be expected to do so. In addition to the URL script command
issues, this package addresses an issue with the installer that would
cause 100% CPU utilization in certain scenarios.
NTSC-J, PAL, and SECAM TV Tuner Hotfix

NTSC-J, PAL, and SECAM TV Tuner Hotfix
for DirectX 9.0b on Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
(KB825116)
11/04/2003 11:37 PMDirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security
issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security
fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused
several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats
other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly
on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include
loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain
device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge
Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw.
11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow
patching of all language installations supported by the affected
Operating Systems.

04/10/2004 12:43 PMThis white paper explains how to troubleshoot delegation issues that
can arise in Kerberos authentication scenarios. The paper summarizes
required infrastructure and describes Windows authentication
scenarios. The central discussion is organized around four
troubleshooting checklists: one each for Active Directory, client
application, middle tier, and back-end. The appendices detail
diagnostic tools and give examples of how to resolve problems in
typical IIS to SQL delegation scenarios.

Windows Server 2003 Security Guide
01/29/2004 02:48 AMThe Windows Server 2003 Security Guide focuses on providing a set of
easy to understand guidance, tools, and templates to help secure
Windows Server 2003 in many environments. While the product is
extremely secure from the default installation, there are a number of
security options that can be further configured based on specific
requirements. This guidance not only provides recommendations, but
also the background information on the risk that the setting is used
to mitigate as well as the impact to an environment when the option is
configured.

Access OR I'd Rather Suck a Dead Toad
and HELP !!!
10/18/2002 06:19 AMWindows 2000 Server Routing and Remote Access OR I'd Rather Suck a
Dead Toad and HELP !!!
Yesterday I wasted an entire day to get close to 0 results. Sigh.
Here's the deal. One of our clients, a non-profit, who specializes in
placing people with disabilities in jobs asked us recently for some
basic networking help. They needed a VPN set up and their internal
network needed to have a "bastion" network server added. A bastion
network server is a single computer with two network cards through
which all Internet traffic passes. It (generally) provides via dhcp
the addresses for a local subnet like 192.168.x.y and is the sole
outside machine that is exposed on the Internet. [ Good Article on
Bastion Networks ]
Right now their ISP has provided them with external IP addresses for
each of their office computers (and server) and they run ZoneAlarm on
each machine to "protect" them. This is one of the more brain dead
ways to run an office lan with Internet access and just plain scares
the crap out of me. DO NOT DO THIS FOR YOUR OFFICE !!! Their IT guy
is one of their staff and NOT a Linux person who does the IT along
with being a full time case worker. I convinced him that this was
unsafe and we should do it with implementing a basic VPN. He had a
licensed copy of Windows 2000 Server and thus began my descent into
the land of "I'd rather suck a dead toad". I do know that some folks
have had really good luck with using Windows 2000 Server for this type
of purpose. I had no luck. None of the options for Windows 2000
Routing and Remote Access worked -- if I got DHCP working then the lan
worked only locally and client machines couldn't see the Internet. If
I setup the VPN options (as per Microsoft's exact directions) then the
server couldn't see the Internet (and stopped responding to external
Pings). Oh and just as a warning to others -- INSTALL SERVICE PACK 3
FIRST. I lost a lot of time since I didn't realize the machine was
missing service pack 3 and apparently none of this stuff works without
SP3. No I can't confirm this with Microsoft's fix list but after
doing an SP3 upgrade then and only then did the NAT options begin
working.
So here's what I'm looking for:
Can a single computer running Windows 2000 Server do this? Serve both
as a bastion host and as an incoming VPN server? Theoretically it is
possible but practically I'm starting to wonder if their setup tools
allow it.
Exact, step by step directions to do this (if they exist). I've done
I can't tell you how many Google queries and there are directions out
there --- but they all are hinted at in the tables of contents of
different books -- not anything like a good Linux How To document.
Alternatives. If Windows 2000 Server isn't a good way to do this then
I can drop a dedicated Linux box on site but I'll end up picking up
the maintenance burden so low maintenance would be good.
One approach I'm considering is a small Linksys hardware firewall
between their outside Internet connection and their internal lan to
provide the DHCP. These boxes, which are generally used for home
networking, are actually quite reliable and since the office only has
a fractional, shared T1, would be fast enough. Since these are only
in the $70 range now, I can just chuck one in for free as a donation
(we're only talking about 5 or 6 machines in the office plus one
server). At a minimum this is safer than Zone Alarm.
Tip #1: The pain started 1st thing when I got their and neither of the
network cards in the bastion host (well the theoretical bastion host)
could ping. Standard IBM etherjet cards that worked perfectly before
going in this box. Know what fixed them? Just moving the graphics
card over one slot and the moving the two network cards over to where
the graphics card was. Go figure. Plug and Play ? Try Plug and Pray
or as I prefer "Plug and sacrifice a goat".
Tip #2: I did expect some problems so I brought along an extra hub
with me which I setup immediately. This let the "bastion" host and
the IT guy's laptop be isolated from the main network preserving
Internet access for everyone else in the office. This way for the 8+
hours that I had to tinker with the beast known as Windows 2000 Server
Routing and Remote Access at least Internet access was preserved.
Note: They're budget strapped and since we've done one big project for
them this fell into the category of free help for good client
relations.

02/12/2004 05:01 PMNeowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It
would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one
being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source
code to Windows NT. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or
not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the
situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Microsoft are
currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no
official response from them at the time of writing.
