Issues with Windows Security

Recently one of our networks tech here at work changed
permissions on our development server so that you needed a user
account in order to view any folders/sites from a browser. I can
understand the security reasoning behind this but now my
Dreamweaver database connections won't work. When I try to define
the database and test it I get an HTTP Error Code 401 Unauthorized.
Short of reverting the settings on the server I don't know how to
get Dreamweaver to connect to my Access database again. Does anyone
have any ideas?

Yes - talk to your manager, who will talk to the network tech
manager, and
find out *why* they played with a development server without
consulting one
of the major user groups - the developers. What was their
business case for
holding up your development projects?
Put the problem back on the technical people. If they cannot
(for
political/business/technical reasons) revert the changes,
then tell them to
research and provide a solution that works for you; after
all, *they*
created the problem in the first place!

Failures with windows security requirements and binaries installed

We are in the process of getting our application certified for Windows Server 2012 for Gold certification and running into the following 2 issues:
1. Failure for "Applications must comply with Windows security requirements".
Looks like the MPR tool is trying to scan some .log files and .xml files when the test is running and these are being used/locked by the application at that time. So these are listed under "Checks that didn't complete". attached is a screenshot
of this.
2. Failure for "Were any binaries installed for this Component"
This is the log message for "No binaries were detected as installed". Ours is a Java app and Java binaries are the only executables.

QUESTIONS:
How can we resolve these issues?
Is passing these 2 failures mandatory in order to get certified?
Can we file a waiver for these?
Thanks,

Update: We were not giving the right installation directory and corrected that.
After changing the installation directory, we end up with these 2 failures:
Log message for Binaries installed is below. As mentioned in the message above, ours is a Java application that does not have any binaries installed.
Can we submit a waiver for this?

Compatibilityy issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server.
Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors.
We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems.
If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
>>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
ipconfig /flushdns

I can't connect to iTunes. I think it might be and issue with McAfee Security Center. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

I can't connect to iTunes. I think it might be an issue with McAfee Security Center - not sure. I am getting an error code of -42408. (Don't know what that means...) Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Having the same issue after downloading the lastest version of itunes. Apple is going to lose me as a customer, if this keeps up with their software updates. They never seem to work.
Really, they should want me to be able to access their store. That's money out of their pocket.
Honestly, I don't know why Apple doesn't have a techie monitering their support threads trying to help fix issues.
I don't have McAffee, so that wouldn't be my issue. I guess, I'll keep checking back to see if anyone has figured anything out.
I can't seem to sync my ipad, now either. Ebay is sounding really good.

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!

Qualcomm Mobile Broadband Gobi2000 compatibility issue with Windows 8 and above

I am facing Qualcomm Mobile Broadband Gobi2000 competibility issue with Windows. Previously, after installing windows 8, I faced a problem of random shut down. But, after running registry and malware scan, it's now almost settled . But, my Broadband modem randomly stops working , and Windows Action Centre points it out as "USB Modem Qualcomm Mobile Broadband Gobi2000 is not competible with current version of Windows". It further suggest to contact HP for resolving the issue.

I have called HP-Support and the answer was:

Where is the forum for Windows Update issues with Windows 10 TP 9926

Trying to find a fix to the Windows Update issue with Windows 10 TP 9926 build and can't find the correct forum to post this question?
This will impact receiving the new build upgrades and will impact test strategy for the new supported OS in our desktop application.

Might try them over here.

URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

Hello SAP community,
I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos

Hi all,
I think I found the solution.
The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
Best regards
Carlos

SSLVPN connectivity issue with Windows 7 x64 All browsers.

I think that I have tried everything to get this working but whatever I seem to do I cannot connect to my SSLVPN using Windows 7 x64. The 32bit version is fine. I have installed the Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2005 for both x86 and x64. I have tried clearing the cache in the Browser. I have installed Chrome and Firefox , I even started my laptop using the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' from Advanced Boot options but nothing is working.
Does anyone have anything else to try. This is a bit of a showstopper for us because not do we have this issue with Windows but we have Mac users as well and that is also an issue.
Cisco really needs to fix this issue fast...
Please help.
Thanks
Mark Sheehan

Try using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer. Sometimes one of the two will work.

Networking with Windows Security Issues

Hey guys. I'm new to the Mac world so please consider me Mactarded when you reply. I'm pretty competent with windows and have successfully shared files between my PC and my mac. The issue is this. When I attempt to connect to the shared files on my PC from my mac it asks me for a password. Great! BUT...when I connect to a shared file on my mac from my PC there is no password prompt. This makes me nervous. Is there anyway to get the PC to ask for a password when I attempt to connect to the Mac?

Windows Vista is quite idiotic when it comes to connecting to Mac volumes. XP never had trouble with it, but Vista is set by default to not allow it. The process of getting the setting changed is quite convoluted with Vista Home Premium, which doesn't have the necessary tools for changing the setting.
Here's what worked for me (I wrote it down so I could duplicate it in the future):
Go to the Start menu and go to All Programs -> Accessories -> Run
Type "Regedit.exe" and press return
Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Select Lsa, then choose Edit -> New -> Key
Type "DWORD" (without quotes) as the name in the list
Double-click the text "(Default)" in the right-hand pane
Enter "1" (without quotes) as the value and press OK
Quit Regedit and restart the machine
Log in to the remote Mac using "ip_address\username" as the user name
