Accounts Being Created With My Email
I've just recieved about three emails saying that I have created three separate Skype accounts. I have not created these accounts, and it seems to be the work of spammers. Can they be deleted and prevent any forms of my email address from being able to create accounts?
I have recieved emails that say that michaelsquitieri1, michaelsquitieri12, and michaelsquitieri121 were all created from one email address.
you can contact customer service ([email protected]) tp report this incident and to request to unlink your email address from those unauthorized accounts.

Accounts being created with administrative group rights
Hello,
The server is a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise fully patched used for Shared Hosting purposes. It runs Hsphere control panel. I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening.
1) There are users being created with Administrative group rights. Below is the EventViewer log for the user creation:
User Account Created:
New Account Name: username
New Domain: PCNAME
New Account ID: PCNAME\username
Caller User Name: PCNAME$
Caller Domain: DOMAINNAME
Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Privileges -
Attributes:
Sam Account Name: username
Display Name: <value not set>
User Principal Name: -
Home Directory: <value not set>
Home Drive: <value not set>
Script Path: <value not set>
Profile Path: <value not set>
User Workstations: <value not set>
Password Last Set: <never>
Account Expires: <never>
Primary Group ID: 513
AllowedToDelegateTo: -
Old UAC Value: 0x2DAB2B0
New UAC Value: 0x2DAB2B0
User Account Control: -
User Parameters: <value not set>
Sid History: -
Logon Hours: <value changed, but not displayed>
There exists entries as well where the primary group ID is changed to the Administrative group, but I am omitting such.
2) I tried to identify what Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7) means. I found out from here:
http://blog.joeware.net/2013/01/14/2667/ that I can use LogonSessions.exe to identify it.
Output from LogonSessions.exe is pasted below (snippet):

3) I also learned from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330/en-us that Sid: S-1-5-18 means:
SID: S-1-5-18
Name: Local System
Description: A service account that is used by the operating system
That is all great info, but I am not sure I can put together what I have learned to attempt and get closer towards identifying how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
I am a Linux person mostly, but I am comfortable following a properly explained thread regarding windows 2003 R2 Enterprise issues.
The server is fully patched and it is running Lumension security product. What's more, Norman Malware tracker, tdskiller.exe (Kaspersky) and McAfee rootkitremover.exe have been run without any apparent Malware/Virus infection
Hope someone with advanced admin skills can advise.
Thank youHi,
You mentioned that, “I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening”, would you please tell us that why did you think the event represent a hacking behavior?
In a Shared Server Hosting environment, the underlying hosting control panel tool (Hsphere in this case) should be creating only virtual FTP users with a specific group. So no users with Administrative group should be ever created. If this happens,
it constitutes a breach of server security=positive hacking attempt.
>how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
In addition, would you please be more specific about this question? Did you find the event message on a domain joined machine?
I want to be able to understand in full how/what process is allowing users to be created with Admin rights. In other words, I want to know what IP was used to issue the command, if ASP.net was used (abused in this case), or anything else related to
it so that we can patch this particular hole.

How I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
Any ideas how I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
i updated it when we need to migrate and all emails are active and being used.
i need to update an email address. we use this for my personal company and need to keep the email in
the same format so it matches the others in the company. i dont see it anywhere in my account now.
i am using a .mac format. thanks.In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys... -
ı have 2 account one gamecenter with single emaill and password.it is like a identical twins of different.how can ı make it single?
Are you referring to 2 iTunes accounts/Apple ID's? If so you can't, all purchases are tied to each Apple ID so if you need to say reload an app or update, it would be with that account.

After creating an iCloud email will I still recieve emails from my old email account account on my devices?
If the old email account is a non-iCloud email account, then yes. You will continue to receive email from your old account as long as it is still set up in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.
However, if the old email account is an iCloud email account, you will have to add it back on your devices in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then sign in with your old iCloud account IC, in order to continue to receive it on your devices. If you do this, the old email will be fetch only, not push. -
XMP files not being created with DNGs...
I'm used to using Bridge with ACR to process Nikon NEFs. But a recent camera update has me experimenting with converting the D3's NEFs to DNG files and editing them with CS2 and Bridge 1.04 which works better on my system. I've also experimented with CS3 and Bridge 2.1.1.9 with the same DNG files.
In both cases XMP files are not being created when working with DNG files. I have enabled "Save image settings in : Sidecar ".xmp" files" turned ON. But they do not seem to be generated and I assume the ACR adjustments are being embedded in the DNG file. Meanwhile doing edits on NEF files continues to create .xmp files as expected.
I find .xmp files to be very useful and I'm wondering why they're missing with DNG files? Are they hiding somewhere other than in the same folder that the images reside in?
Thanks.
Russell> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

No accounts being created - 10.5.4 install
I recently tried an erase and reinstall of 10.5 server on a mac pro that I have acting as a stand alone server. The first time I installed I had no issues, just borked the config of DNS and I finally got some time to redo the install completely.
Well the install process went ahead with no issues, I choose the advance setup, filled in all the required network and admin information (but skipped the registration parts), and the server rebooted leaving me at the login prompt. Everything looks good.
I had trouble logging in - mainly I couldn't at all. I thought I was going crazy and miss-spelled the admin name (long and short) when creating the account. I rebooted from the install disc and went to the change password utility to check the name of the account and to reset the password. As it turns out the account was not available in the utility (it wasn't in the dropdown list, only root was there) so I fired up terminal to discover that no accounts were created by the setup process. The rest of the OS appears to be there and fine, but nothing in /Users.
I tried running dscl from the terminal app on the install disc, but it's not there!
*Any suggestions? Has anyone experience this before?* I tried searching for a couple hours and couldn't find an similar situations. I am currently running the install again and will choose standard instead of the advanced setup option (the VERY first install that I borked the settings on was done as standard and it worked fine...)
Thanks!As expected Standard worked fine. Not sure what's up with the advance setup not actually setting anything up though.

Still being Deluged with unrelated emails
After asking how to get my Sony PRS-T1 recognized by ADE. I am still being Deluged by emails unrelated to my question I did receive a sugestion to modify my preferences, which I did. I turned off responce by email, am still getting email which is clauging up my InBox. How do I make this STOP?????
Tried that... Also tried sending to the original email, since I had just changed it to something recognizable a short time before. Currently failing with the email authorization on or off. Here's the latest message:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Command rejected (state 18).
Thanks for helping... :-) -
Auto Save folder not being created with new project
Just recently I've noticed that when I start a new project there is no auto save folder being created. I have all preferences the same (auto save every 10 min with a max of 50 and save next to project files). I have no idea why this started or what I can do to fix it.
So it seems to be working now. I went back through other projects that have been open for some time and the most recent auto save file I could find for any of them was from Oct. 8th. So auto save hasn't been working at all. What I did was go into preferences and change the interval a little and the frequency from where I had had it since intial set up. That seemed to have told it to turn it back on for some reason. It's really weird. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, but people may want to check there folders just in case the same issue is happening. I didn't realize it until today and it's been happening for a couple of weeks apparently.

Spam is being sent with my email address on it!
I get a few spam messages re drugs every day. What concerns me is that they may be using my email address to send these messages to others. How do I stop them from posting messages with my email address on them? How do I deal with this? Any hints?
Once a spammer has your email address that is pretty much end of it. Nothing you can do other make a main account email address for only important things and use the other free email address until they get spammed like this and delete them. then start a new email.
Another option is to use Gmail and use it as a spam filter in a way. Use Gmail to read and send emails, but make it forward only the emails you want to you verizon email address.
Stay clear from Env3 and Env Touch. They are sub-par due to many software problems that need addressed. The consumer is the guinea pig in this lab experiment they want to call a 'cellphone'...... -
TLB STO's created in ECC via cif are being created with Intercompany Markup
STO's created using TLB in APO when cif'd over to ECC6 get created with an Intercompany Markup. When created manually in ECC6 using ME21N the markup is not part of the pricing and is correct. Has anyone had this same situation?
Abhishek,
ECC Route is is part of ECC Transportation and Delivery scheduling,
( http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/EN/dd/5607e7545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm )
and is not directly linked to SCM means of transport in standard SCM. The analogue to Route in SCM is found in shipment scheduling in SCM. If you wish to link route to alternative Means of Transport, you will need to use an enhancement.
If you elect to use the more standard 'shipment scheduling' functionality to schedule your STOs instead of an enhancement, you do not need to implement the entire TLB or TPVS, you can pretty much implement just the shipment scheduling functionality.

Duplicate text files being created with ~ appended
Whenever I edit a text file with TextEditor and save it, a duplicate file is created with a ~ appended to the end of the name.
Example:
After editing and saving my_file.txt my_file~.txt is also created.
The result is I get two files with exactly the same contents.
my_file.txt
my_file~.txt
I would really like to stop it from doing this. It clutters up everything. It has done this since I first installed the OS. My file system format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Any suggestions?I looked through the preferences for TextEditor. I had "Delete the automatic backup file unchecked". I think checking this option will fix the problem.

Sales Order Outbound IDOC - Restricting Items being created with a Segment
Hi,
I have a requirement to restrict segments being created for Items (Child) in Sales Order Outbound IDOC based on conditions in the Items (Parent & Child). Can you please suggest me a suitable solution?
Basic Type: ORDERS05, Message Type: ORDRSP. What is the IDOC Function Module to be used to create Outbound IDOC for Sales Order?
Appreciate Your Help.
Thanks,
Kannan
Edited by: Kannan SA on Jan 3, 2008 3:03 PMHi,
if the segments are mandatory then you can't trigger the idoc without those segments.
Otherwise, you can read the segment and clear all the data in it, the segment will not be attached to the outbound idoc.
Where to do it? Search the CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '002' for the outbound idoc for example IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOICE for Invocing.

Unknown Skype ID created with my Email account
I forgot my password. In the password recovery page i entered my email address, received a mail from skypre and followed the link given in the email. On the page that appeared after clicking on the link, i was informed that there are two Skype id's linked to my email address and for which one i needed to recover password. I have never created another id and i do not remember receving or verifying any email from Skype regarding the second Skype id. How do i get rid of the other ID?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi, Faizullah1944, and welcome to the Community,
You can take control of the rogue account by changing its password - why people set up accounts using other peoples' e-mail addresses never ceases to surprise me. Then, you can contact Skype Customer Service to request the account be removed/deleted. More details here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of website problems when attempting to reach their customer service unit and is working to resolve these issues. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Elaine
