After running Spamtrainer lots of false positives

I ran Spamtrainer Friday and today I'm getting calls that a lot of customers are having their emails rejected. I tried to send a few test emails from my Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts and they both got failure notices:
XX.XX.XXX.XX does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied
I have the server setup to redirect junkmails to a junkmail account I have setup. It should not be rejecting the email, even if it is considered junk.
I didn't make any changes to the server other than running Spamtrainer on Friday, so that's why I think it might have something to do with it.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Doing some searching I found my solution by looking at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1236&start=0
Somehow the 'mydomain' setting changed to 'local' in the main.cf file. I just changed 'local' to our actual domain, restarted the mail services, and everything is working right now.
I just wish I knew how/why it changed to 'local'... /shrug

Lots of false positives on outbound SPAM filtering

Starting around 5:30AM this morning a lot of our outbound e-mail began testing as positively identified SPAM. In our environment I have positively identified outbound SPAM setup to go to a quarantine.
In looking at the e-mails they are legitimate e-mails.
My first attempt was to lower the positively identified SPAM threshold from 75 to 50, had no effect.
My second attempt was to exclude our internal domains so that e-mail hitting our IronPort appliances for internal recipients would be allowed through, positively identified SPAM or not.
EDIT: Reviewing some of the e-mails, some are a simple e-mail with text only and a single .pdf attachment. Tested as positively identified SPAM. Some have multiple hyper links but are to legitimate URLs.
My questions:
What changed this morning that is causing all of these false positives?
What can I do differently to not let this occur again?
Thanks...

Really appreciate the replies...
Bob, SBRS is disabled on my outbound mail and it also comes from private/internal IP addresses, does show "not enabled" in message tracking...
After my post this morning our appliances (two C660s) were still false positiving a lot of outbound mail that was for external recipients (my filter was excluding internal domains).. but after 1:00PM central or so they started declining and since 3:00PM there hasn't been a single one.. Could be the volume of e-mail is starting to go down a little but I'm guessing there was a CASE rules update...
Now I just need to decide if I'm going to set the SPAM threshold back to what it was or just leave it alone.. We have had a problem with internal users getting their mail accounts compromised and send out a lot of phishing e-mails that I have been trying to block.

Pvc2300: false positive with motion detection

Hello!
I bought 3 pvc 2300 cameras. I tried motion detection with camera's software and with "Active webcam" software and I received a lot of false positive mails.
1. with camera's software, I set event with motion detection & sent mail, but I receive a lot of mail when there isn't motion (I saw registrations and images)
2. with Active WebCam software I use Linksys cameras and Panasonic Cameras. With Panasonic cameras all is ok. With Linksys cameras, about every hours there is a black frame, so I receive a mail from motion detection. Black frame arrive about every hours, after 60 minutes from last black frame. That is very strange!
I changed sensitivity, check frequency, number of frame at second, but I have same problem.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Mary

I have 2 Panasonic cameras too and I need one software to manage all cameras.
sensitivity: on active webcam software, I changed sensitivity of motion detection
frequency check: on active webcam software, I changed from check motion every 0,1 second to every 5 seconds
number of frame: on Linksys software I changed Max Frame Rate from 15 fps to 6 fps.

Comparing documents and false positives

Hello,
I often have to send a proof of a book to a printer. The proof is a PDF. When they return a soft proof--another PDF that they will use to print--I need to quickly compare the two to make sure that there have been no changes in the text.
The Compare Documents feature certainly beats a side-by-side eyeball scan. But I often get a lot of false positives, words are flagged that actually have not changed.
It appears that my PDF, exported from InDesign has some hidden discretionary hyphens. In ID these are used to make sure a word breaks at the end of the line at the correct syllable. They are invisible when printed. In a PDF these are not necessary because the text ain't gonna reflow, right?
But when I compare the soft proof to the original PDF, words with discretionary hyphens are flagged. Somehow the printer has stripped the discretionary hyphens. That's fine but what must I do to get rid of them in my PDF?
Below is an example. The PDF shown is the one from the printer. The comment box shows the difference from the original PDF, though there is in fact no difference on the page.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Tom

I like Acrobat's text comparisons, which have saved me from bad goofs several times -- mostly stray key-strokes, but once I caught an InDesign footnote numbering snafu. However, the false positives have always been annoying even without flagging every single discretionary hyphen.
I imagine you have tried the image method for comparisons, a modern version of the old trick of putting printouts of the old and new versions of a page on a light table to find differences.
I don't recall seeing comments of the type "undefined", but does re-sorting comments by type at least isolate these so you can step through the rest? I'm no scripter, but can a javascript mark or eliminate comments containing hyphens?
More drastic, would it be worth trying to eliminate the discretionary hyphens? For instance, you could apply Harb's "Freeze Composition" in InDesign, and then search-and-replace all discretionary hyphens. (Read the comments on the In-Tools site, as well as those in the InDesignSecrets blog it links to because you might want to modify the way it handles hyphens.)
Good luck!

False positive KB2478662 after Server Cleanup Wizard

This morning WSUS gave me false positives for several clients. I've seen FPs before, but I've never discovered what causes them. In fact, I'm finding it hard to even ask a useful question.
On Friday I ran the WSUS Cleanup Wizard. On Monday I found that our Server 2008 R2 box and all but two of our Windows 7 boxes report as needing .NET update KB2478662 - a long-superseded update from 2011.
I ran "wmic qfe list" to learn that neither KB2478662 nor its two superseding patches (KB2633873 and KB2539635) were installed on any of the unhappy clients. However, KB2972100 supersedes KB2633873 and KB2539635 (but not the earlier KB2478662),
and is installed on all the clients involved. KB2972100 is not listed as superseding KB2478662, the earliest in the chain, so it appears this sort of leapfrogging supersession may not be detected well by WSUS.
However: KB2972100 was installed two months ago, and KB2478662 didn't show before Friday; according to the Microsoft Catalog, none of the update packages has been updated recently; and I'm not finding reports from other admins of the ghost of KB2478662 emerging
from the shadows. I can only assume that running the Cleanup Wizard Friday somehow left WSUS in a state where this false positive could result.
Like I said, I can't decide what question to ask. Am I likely correct in blaming the Cleanup Wizard? If so, is there some way of cleaning up after the wizard? Or of preventing this sort of false positive in the first place? Or is there
some other common cause for this sort of FP?
I seem to get two or three of these FPs a year, and I always end up researching the chain of superseding updates, manually scanning clients until I'm sure the latest update is really in place - and then I decline the false positive. But I'd love to know
a better way to handle these, or to avoid them.

so I don't have a years-long database of approved updates.
That remains to be seen. It only takes one hour of overambitious update approvals to generate five years of content on a WSUS server. :-)
KB2478662 has never appeared before
KB2478662 is an update contained in MS11-039 and has existed since June, 2011. If your WSUS server is only a couple of months old, I'm pretty confident in stating that KB2478662 was part of your original synchronization. KB247862 (MS11-039) is not a superseded
update.
It's much more likely that you just did not notice it before.. but it's always been there.
(as I noted, KB2972100 was broadly installed in October) and has never had any approvals at all.
I can't speak to the question of approvals, but if it was broadly installed, then I'd guess that happened before you deployed this WSUS server and those updates were installed as a result of Automatic Updates. Given that it was released on Oct 14th,
that makes perfect sense.
I've never had the opportunity to decline it, because it's never appeared as "needed".
Those two statements are totally noncongruent. You don't decline an update because it is or is not needed, or was or was not ever reported as needed, you decline an update because it will **NEVER** be needed again at all.
None of the four updates I mention came out since I installed WSUS.
Correct, but not really relevant.
KB2478662 (MS11-039, Jun 2011) - already explained. NOT superseded, except for ITANIUM systems, which was superseded by MS11-069.
KB2539635 (MS11-069, Aug 2011) - SUPERSEDED by KB2633873 (MS12-016, Feb 2012), KB2604115 (MS12-035, May 2012), KB2729452 (MS12-074, Nov 2012), KB2742599 (MS13-004, Jan 2013), and KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014).
KB2633873 (MS12-016, Feb 2012) - SUPERSEDED by KB2604115 (MS12-035, May 2012), KB2729452 (MS12-074, Nov 2012), KB2742599 (MS13-004, Jan 2013), and KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014).
KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014) - The *CURRENT* update.
So since they all came out before you installed WSUS that means that ALL of them were ON your server the day you installed it, and TWO of them were relevant from Day One. The other two should have been immediately declined if KB2972100 was reported as 100%
NotApplicable.
If WSUS thinks KB2478662 is superseded, I have no idea why the Cleanup Wizard hasn't already handled it.
There's no "think" about it. Either the update is superseded, or it is not, and whether it's superseded and what supersedes it and what it supersedes is displayed in the Update Details in the WSUS console. One need only read the screen to get the
facts. In this case KB2478662 is NOT superseded (unless you have an Itanium server), and nothing "thinks" that it is (except you).
As for why the Server Cleanup Wizard hasn't dealt with it, one need only understand what the Server Cleanup Wizard DOES do with superseded updates. Superseded updates are declined *IF* (and only IF):
The update is superseded and has not been approved for at least 30 days.
The update is superseded and not needed by any client systems or downstream servers.
The update is superseded and the superseding update is APPROVED.
So... the ITANIUM instance of KB2478662 will not be handled by the Server Cleanup Wizard, because you have likely not approved any ITANIUM updates that supersede it. And the other instances of KB2478662 will not be handled by the Server Cleanup Wizard because
they are not superseded.
So, back to your original message.
KB2478662 WILL be "Needed" on any system where it is NOT installed, because this update is NOT superseded. Your original premise that this update is superseded is the root of all confusion.
Furthermore, neither KB2633873 nor KB2539635 superseded that package, but they are superseded by a newer update (KB2972100) which predates the existence of your WSUS server, so the presence of KB2972100 and the absence of BK2633873 and KB2539635 is 100%
normal and expected.
You were correct in noting that KB2972100 does not supersede KB2478662, but that's the point at which your logic broke down and asking yourself how 'D' supersedes 'C' and 'B', and 'C' and 'B' supersede 'A', but 'D' does not supersede 'A' might have led to
a re-evaluation of your conclusions.
Ergo... there are *NO* false positives. What is reported is FACTUAL.
HINT: (I've written this over a hundred times in the past five years).... The question you should be asking in such situations is NOT "What's wrong with the update?", but rather "What's wrong with the client?" or "What's wrong with
my analysis?" The WUA evaluates applicability based on a defined set of rules, and reports the update status to the WSUS server based on the evaluation of those rules. If the update is more than a week old.. I absolutely PROMISE you that there is *NOTHING*
wrong with the detection logic in that update and you need to focus your investigation on things other than the updates.
As for how to handle superseded updates and update approvals, you may find some benefit from this article:

Tip : if patch 8708893 leaves lots of invalid objects after running pi.sq

after running post_install.sql you get lots of invalid objects
this has happened because the patch did not unzip properly [ occurred for me on Linux RH5 X86-64 ] .. it was unzipped by Grid Control itself in via a patch stage.
to fix : if you look at the files.sql in the patch directory you will see an execute of several.sql files.... just execute them manually and the errors will go away.
Chris.

Thanks Chris, good to know. I unfortunately went through the process of rolling back before finding your post.
I then reapplied the patch and it worked perfectly, so I never got to try your solution, but thought I'd post mine here with yours because google has it indexed already :)

Cellular signal becomes false positive

Everything works fine, except after a while the cellular signal becomes a false positive. By this I mean the upper left corner continue to read "Verizon 4G LTE" with a few bars, but there's actually no signal. All apps that require the Internet doesn't work. It's an easy fix though — in Settings, the Cellular Data has to be turned off, then turned back on. And by "after a while" I mean when it falls into sleep mode after a FaceTime session, then awoken. Not sure exactly how long afterwards. Not sure if it's consistently after one nap or longer. Not sure if running other apps would do the same thing.
Question is:
Is this normal?
I can imagine the upside is that you don't waste data in a prepaid data plan like when background apps continue to run.
The dreadful downside, however, is that any incoming FaceTime call cannot get through.
If this is NOT normal, is it a common glitch/bug/quirk? And how to fix it?

You can't begin measuring velocity until it is positive unless you have already been measuring velocity.
The solution is to always do the measurement. Evaluate it with a >0. In the true condition, then do whatever it is you want to do.

Alex Arndt

It looks like you posted the wrong event log so I have no way to tell if this is a false positive.
(I'm assuming your referring to signature 3334-0)
If you are using the 4.x version of this signature there may be potential for a false positive, since we do not tie the regex to a uuid. If you are running 5.x I do not think its possible for this signature to false positive. To add fidelity we used 5.xs engine meta and created a signature to ensure a hit on this signature as well as one for the msrpc bind requests uuid. There is no way to improve the signature in 4.x without creating a risk for false negatives (if you dont mind the risk just increase the allocation hint). That being said, the 4.x version of this signature does look for very specific things:
3334-0 looks for an msrpc bind request using SMB_COM_Transaction utilizing the PIPE resource with an allocation hint >=1700, function 38 (base-10 for all these values), opcode 25 (base 10), set count of 2, and a word count of 16.

TCP Hijack/TCP Segment Overwrite false positives?

Hello all,
I was just curious if anyone else has had many false positives with 3 signatures in particular: TCP Hijack (3250.0 - High), TCP Hijack Simplex Mode (3251.0 - High), and TCP Segment Overwrite (1300.0 - High). The reason I think they are false positives is because they occur everyday, and I've also seem them caused by internal network traffic that crosses an IPS sensor (that is, making the potentially dangerous assumption that the internal devices can be trusted). We usually see between a dozen and 3 dozen a day depending on the signature, and we have 8 IPS total deployed internally and on the perimeters.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? If so, do you have any suggestions on how to decrease the number of false positives for these alerts?
Thanks,
Ryan

I get TCP Hijack and TCP Segment Overwrite all the time. I opened a TAC case about it because it was getting out of hand, and the engineer said that TCP Hijack would be very very hard to execute and if it is getting fired a lot odds are it is a false positive.
This was his response:
5769 - Malformed HTTP Request
This signature basically just looks for traffic destined to one of your web ports (defined by the WEBPORTS variable) and containing a valid HTTP request (i.e., GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, CONNECT) but followed by malformed (i.e., not proper http protocol syntax) URI information. This type of malformed HTTP request can be used for a variety of exploits. Microsoft has malformed HTTP request vulnerabilities, another attack known as "http request smuggling" can be launched using malformed HTTP requests at a Squid web proxy, which may cause the web proxy and an upstream HTTP agent to disagree on the boundary between HTTP requests on a persistent connection. These are a couple of examples.
If you open this signature in IDM and go to "Edit", you can see the regex it looks for within the http payload. Basically, it looks for a valid HTTP request followed by the hex code regex [\x20][\x21-\x7e]+[\x20]?[\x0d\x0a]. A properly formed HTTP request should not contain this hex code.
It's possible that normal traffic could cause this, but unlikely. If you have further concerns about this signature firing, please capture the trigger packet context either by changing the signature action to 'produce verbose alert' or 'log attacker packet' for analysis. If you need assistance in analyzing these alerts, please contact TAC and open a case on this issue.
3250 or 3251 - TCP Hijack and TCP Hijack Simplex Mode
This signature detects attempts to insert packets into a TCP stream by an attacker in an effort to take over this session. However, if you're using inline ips mode, TCP Hijack attacks are impossible. Also, this type of attack is very rare and not easy to do, and is often a false positive. Types of things that can be used by network sniffers to detect that a TCP hijack may be happening is looking for repeated ARP updates, frames sent between client and server with different MAC addresses, or tcp ack storms.
For these two hijack signatures, per MySDN information:
"This signature fires upon detecting out of order ack packets. The most common network event that may trigger this signature is an idle telnet session. The TCP Hijack attack is a low-probability, high level-of-effort event."
Thus, very likely to be false positives and unlikely to be a legitimate attack given the difficulties involved in doing this. However, it's worth checking out the source / destination of the attacks. Again though, if you are running inline mode, these attacks are impossible and you can ignore these signatures.
About the TCP Segment Overwrite, mine is always fired for port 20 traffic from some sort of web cache server. Is that the same for you?

Login Stats "false-positive"?

This deals with login stats... (I've not done any coding yet - just trying to hypothesize first... but will use CF queries)
I'm sure there's a way to do this but can't quite figure it. I know it's easy enough to do a database row count or add the 'number fields' in a
database column for a total, but - how to do this without getting a "false positive" as per below?
Goal: To find the name of the school with the lowest number of Teacher logins.
The LoginCounter database field is set up as a 'number field' and adds an increment of 1 each time a teacher logs in to the site. (for my counter code
to work, this field starts with a default of 1). I have a SchoolName field in the TeacherID row, associating a Teacher with a school and, currently
there are 5 schools... I don't have to do any kind of table join - all fields are in one table.
No problem with pulling a total on the total number of logins of ALL teachers in ALL schools or All teachers in THIS school and then comparing this
number between the different schools.
But I can see more than one "false positive" per the following:
Say, there are 20 TeacherID in School_01 and 40 TeacherID in School_02. And say, totaling the LoginCounter column shows a total of 30 teacher logins
for School_01 and 50 teacher logins for School_02. By just adding up the total LoginCounter per school would show that School_01 has the lowest number
of teacher logins.
However, you have to take into consideration that some teachers may have only logged in once (or rather, none)... as well as considering that, say, 15
teachers out of 20 teachers in School_01 may have logged in a total of 30 times... when, at School_02, one teacher may have logged in 35 times along
with 5 of his colleagues logging in once apiece. In this scenario School_01 still has the lowest total of loggins but School_02 actually has the poorer
score of total teacher logins.
How would I average the number of teachers per school with the total number of schools with the number of logins per teacher to
obtain an accurate count of actual teacher logins? An "over-zealous" teacher, logging in way more numerous times than other teachers would throw the
final figure off...
Is it even possible to obtain an accurate comparison the way I have the database fields set up? I guess (the way I have it set up) I can only consider the LoginCounter fields that have only a "1" (the number of teachers who have never logged in) and get an average to compare between schools. But if all the teachers in a school have logged in numerous times, I'll have to find some kind of "representative number" based on some kind of average between the number of teachers in a school and (the part I can't figure) some kind of average of each teacher's login total.
In retrospect, after re-reading this before posting... I guess I have only two things here: (1) The total number of logins per school (disregarding an
'over-zealous' teacher and, (2) a count on teachers who have never logged in, compared between schools. I just don't know if I can get an accurate
count for "Lowest Number of Logins School" if all teachers in a school have logged in numerous times... Is there a way to get some kind of average, or rather some 'representative number' based on the number of teachers per school and each one's login total? Or, maybe each teacher's LoginCount doesn't even come into play here... (I know this sounds a bit confusing.)

Thanks for the responses, folks...
All of you are right about the LoginCounter not having to have a default of "1". I had forgotten that, when a participating school is set up, all teachers are set up with a unique "generic-basic unique login" name and password -- just to be able to login on "Training Day". They can change their name and password once they are in their admin section. Teachers who aren't there on "Training Day" are sent an email with instructions on logging in for the first time and changing their name and password. I guess what I'm saying is that, when a participating school 'comes on board', all the participating teachers are added to the database before they even start using the teacher admin section. Maybe it doesn't matter -- I just didn't want an empty or null value when each row is set up...
The login code is as follows, running on the 'validation page' upon login submit.
<cfif session.status IS "valid">
<cfoutput QUERY="getuser">
<cfif #LastLoginDate# NEQ #TodaysDateTime#>
    <cfset #newcount# = LoginCounter + 1>
    <cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#">
    UPDATE teacher_logon
SET
LastLoginDate=#TodaysDateTime#,
LoginCounter=#newcount#
WHERE AdminID = #AminID#
</cfquery>
<cflocation url="Teacher/index.cfm?TeacherID=#AdminID#" addtoken="Yes">
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
So... "0" + "1" = "1" ... I just wasn't sure, when I wrote the code, if this field could be left blank ("blank" + "1")... so, when the individual's row is first entered I put a default "1" here -- since, for training purposes they are already set up to go into the admin section with a pre-created name and password. I figured I could always subtract "1" from the individual's LoginCounter field for accuracy.
I think 12Roberts login ratio is probably what I'm looking for -- Login Ratio: A = total number of teachers and Z = teachers who have never logged in...... Login Ratio = A-Z. (In my existing case a field value of "1" would equal a teacher who has never logged in and a field value of "2" would be a teacher who has logged in once.) I know, I know -- Why don't I just make it complicated or something, LOL.)
I think I was over-blowing my question and 12Robots simple Login Ration is what I was looking. Thanks, 12Robots and, thanks to all for the input. I'm going to mark this post as 'solved' since, the way I have this set up, this ratio is about all I can do with a "lowest login school count".
Thanks again, folks...

System crashing after running a few applications/games after extended use

So, I know that everyone is going to say that temperature might be an issue, but I believe it might be due to a defect/software error because my CPU/GPU is very well cooled, and this only started very recently... I have taken all measures to get a new case,
more fans, clean out entire GPU and dusted everything very immaculately but it still seems to crash... I have no idea on how to see how/why my system crashed though.. there is no blue screen just a black screen.
Can anyone help me?

Here it is
EM
This one DMP is called a BCC124 and is hardware related. Since it references AuthenticAMD I would run the CPU stress test first.
You also really need to update to SP-1 as there are many bug fixes in it.
Stop 0x124 is a hardware error
If you are overclocking try resetting your processor to standard settings and see
if that helps.
If you continue to get BSODs here are some more things you may want to consider.
This is usually heat related, defective hardware, memory or even processor though
it is"possible" that it is driver related (rare).
Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try
Synopsis:
A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.
Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress.
Generic "Stop 0x124" Troubleshooting Strategy:
1) Ensure that none of the hardware components are overclocked. Hardware that is driven beyond its design specifications - by overclocking - can malfunction in unpredictable
ways.
2) Ensure that the machine is adequately cooled.
If there is any doubt, open up the side of the PC case (be mindful of any relevant warranty conditions!) and point a mains fan squarely at the motherboard. That will rule out most (lack of) cooling issues.
3) Update all hardware-related drivers: video, sound, RAID (if any), NIC... anything that interacts with a piece of hardware.
It is good practice to run the latest drivers anyway.
4) Update the motherboard BIOS according to the manufacturer's instructions and clear the CMOS.
Their website should provide detailed instructions as to the brand and model-specific procedure.
5) Rarely, bugs in the OS may cause "false positive" 0x124 events where the hardware wasn't complaining but Windows thought otherwise (because of the bug).
At the time of writing, Windows 7 is not known to suffer from any such defects, but it is nevertheless important to always keep Windows itself updated.
6) Attempt to (stress) test those hardware components which can be put through their paces artificially.
The most obvious examples are the RAM and HDD(s).
For the RAM, use the 3rd-party memtest86 utility to run many hours worth of testing. (6-8 passes to stress the ram out)
For hard drives, check whether CHKDSK /R finds any problems on the drive(s), notably "bad sectors".
Unreliable RAM, in particular, is deadly as far as software is concerned, and anything other than a 100% clear memory test result is cause for concern. Unfortunately, even a 100% clear result from the diagnostics utilities does not guarantee that the RAM is
free from defects - only that none were encountered during the test passes.
7) As the last of the non-invasive troubleshooting steps, perform a "vanilla" reinstallation of Windows: just the OS itself without any additional applications,
games, utilities, updates, or new drivers - NOTHING AT ALL that is not sourced from the Windows 7 disc.
Should that fail to mitigate the 0x124 problem, jump to the next steps.
If you run the "vanilla" installation long enough to convince yourself that not a single 0x124 crash has occurred, start installing updates and applications slowly, always pausing between successive additions long enough to get a feel for whether
the machine is still free from 0x124 crashes.
Should the crashing resume, obviously the very last software addition(s) may be somehow linked to the root cause.
If stop 0x124 errors persist despite the steps above, and the hardware is under warranty, consider returning it and requesting a replacement which does not suffer periodic MCE events.
Be aware that attempting the subsequent hardware troubleshooting steps may, in some cases, void your warranty:
8) Clean and carefully remove any dust from the inside of the machine.
Reseat all connectors and memory modules.
Use a can of compressed air to clean out the RAM DIMM sockets as much as possible.
9) If all else fails, start removing items of hardware one-by-one in the hope that the culprit is something non-essential which can be removed.
Obviously, this type of testing is a lot easier if you've got access to equivalent components in order to perform swaps.
Should you find yourself in the situation of having performed all of the steps
above without a resolution of the symptom, unfortunately the most likely reason is because the error message is literally correct - something is fundamentally wrong with the machine's hardware.

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

Several errors after running catalog.sql

I did a fresh installation of oracle apps EBS 11.5.10.2 on Linux OEL and was trying to do an import/export and it was not working as expected. So after i looked at Oracle's documentation it said catalog.sql has to be run before using the import/export. So i ran catalog.sql first but i did not run it with SYSDBA but ran it as SYSTEM and i saw several errors like access denied etcv. after i ran the catalog.sql i was not able to login via apps or any other user except SYSTEM and was giving me erros like ORA-04065:not executed,altered or dropped stored procedure "SYS.DBMS_SESSION"
After this to fix the issue i ran @?/rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql and @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp as SYSDBA but both executed a lot of grants etc but are haging at some point and not finishing.
The current state of the database is that im not able to login via any user except SYSTEM and i think i corrupted the db dictionary as everywhere i see they say running catalog.sql on an existing database is a bad idea. Can anyone help?

Hi Dheeraj,
My db version is 9.2.0.5.0 and OS is OEL 5.7.
The doc where it was mentioned to run catalog.sql before using import/export is below:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch01.htm
Please do not follow the steps in this link and instead follow the steps in (9i Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 230627.1]).
Currently when im trying to login using apps or any other user below are errors i get.
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level1
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped stored procedure "SYS.DBMS_SESSION"
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512:at "SYS.OWA_VPD_CTX", line 5
ORA-06512:at "SYS.PORTAL_LOGIN", line 3
ORA-06512:at line 2
Can you pls help me to fix this.The status of the package is invalid and you need to validate it. Connect as sysdba and issue:
SQL> select owner, object_type, status
from dba_objects
where object_name = 'DBMS_SESSION';
SQL> alter package DBMS_SESSION compile body;
SQL> show error
SQL> alter package DBMS_SESSION compile;
SQL> show errorPlease also see:

Org Unit not defaulting in 0001 after running RHINTE 30

Dear SAP Gurus,
We are facing a problem where in Org Units in Infotype 0001 are not getting defaulted after running the RHINTE reports. We have done the integration between OM <--> PA, however after running the RHINTE reports the org unit is shown as 00000000, could anyone please throw some light on this?

Hi Bijoy,
Are you using the department flag functionality? (T77S0 switch PPABT PPABT)
I came across the same issue as you and i found that when department flags were checked for organisational units the Organisational Unit numbers were displayed correctly.
If any positions that report to Organisational units directly or hierarchically have no department flags ticked the Organisational unit number will be displayed as all zeros on the IT0001 record for employees assigned to these positions.

Ash
