Domain Policy Changes and Mac OS

I had a question posed to me that I did not know the exact answer for. We are about to deploy an XServe and a fleet of Macs within our organization in about 2 months.
What I wanted to know is, if the System Admin decided to launch a domain policy change i.e. lockout all IM ports/protocols would this also apply to Macs that reside on the domain? Our environment is a Windows XP environment and all of our Macs are Intel based if that helps.

Locking out ports/protocols would usually be done on a router/firewall
and would affect everyone regardless of operating system.

Cross domain policy file and BitmapData

Hey guys and gals, I'm having an issue with a Security error
when trying to access photos from an external site. I have a client
who is at siteA.com, who wants to load in photos from siteB.com,
siteC.com, and probably 100 other sites. He has permission to do so
from the other sites, but doesn't want to go through all the
trouble of asking each site to post a cross-domain policy file.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it is, if
you want to simply load an image into a Loader object within a swf,
you're ok, but if you want to access the BitmapData, you will then
get a security error? My snippet of code that I believe is causing
the security error is
public function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
var image:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.loader.content);
image.smoothing = true;
imageContainer.addChild(e.target.loader);
As you can tell, the reason why I want to access the Bitmap
itself is to apply smoothing. That is my main concern, I want to be
able to apply smooth transitions to these pictures that are loaded
in from external sites. My main goal is to load images externally,
then apply smooth transitions, so if you know of a way to get
around the security violations, that would be great. The only
work-around we have for this is to write a script that will load
all the images from the external sites onto the local server, as
this will be less work than getting the cross-domain policy file on
each server (if that's what it takes). Thanks in advance for
anybody who can shed some light on the subject.

If I understand you correctly, a 'helper' swf would be on the
site where the images are held, much like a cross-domain policy
file? I don't understand how that would be much different than
getting the external sites to add a cross-domain policy file on
their server. It sounds easier to just throw the cross-domain
policy file on the external site's server with '*' for the path of
allowed directories to load images from. I'm pretty new to the
cross-domain security issue, so I'm not sure. I don't understand
why it's a security risk to access the pixels of an image either...
anybody know about that? Just trying to figure out where to go from
here on this project. Thanks for the reply GWD, still looking for
some more feedback.

ISE policy, DACLs and VLAN changes together

So I have been having a hard time finding consistency in a policy that both changes the VLAN and applies a DACL. Originally, I found out that remarks were causing it to mess up. But I can't find any consistency. I can use the vanilla 'oermit all' DACL in ISE, along with a VLAN change, and it just doesn't work. My AuthZ is very simple...If you are wired_MAB and your endpoint is in a particular group, then apply a policy that changes the VLAN and applies a DACL. This seems like it's at the root of what ISE is supposed to do, but it seems so buggy. Weird thing is, that if I do the VLAN change by itself, it works. But when I add the DACL neither work. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is?

So it worked this time. The machine has been sitting in sleep mode for a while now. This is so inconsistent. Could it have something to do with me using the same machine to test a few different policies? I'm just switching the machine's MAC between different groups in order to test different policies. Thats really when it stops working.
- Do you have a pre-auth acl configured already on the port ? Yes, one that says permit any any
- Is the port running open mode ? Yes
- What does the "show auth sess int x/x" tell you once the ise has sent the authorization result to the switch ?

Audit/Log GPO changes and Logging of new addition of Domain Controllers in the Event Log

Hi all,
We am trying to log the following items in the event log for Windows 2012. This applies to a domain controller.
1) Audit any changes made to the Group Policy
2) Log the addition of new domain controllers added to the system.
We need the windows event log to record the above events for security purposes. Can anyone advise if this is doable? If yes what are the steps.
Thank you

Hi,
>>1) Audit any changes made to the Group Policy
We can enable audit for directory service object access and configure specific SACL for group policy files to do this.
Regarding how to step-to-step guide for auditing changes of group policy, the following two blogs can be referred to for more information.
Monitoring Group Policy Changes with Windows Auditing
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericfitz/archive/2005/08/04/447951.aspx
Auditing Group Policy changes
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/canberrapfe/archive/2012/05/02/auditing-group-policy-changes.aspx
>>2) Log the addition of new domain controllers added to the system.
Based on my knowledge, when a server is successfully promoted to be domain controller, event ID 29223 will be logged in the System log.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.
Is an Event ID for a completed Domain Controller promotion logged on the PDC?

2-way Trust Relationship between Windows and Mac Domain

Hi guys I hope someone can help me.
Just a quick explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have an Xserve running OSX 10.5.8 server, which is the OD Master. On that server I’m running Kerio mail server. I have a Microsoft 2003 server running AD.
The problem is I need to run BlackBerry Enterprise on the Windows server as the BlackBerry need active directory to work.
Since I have both system already running, I do not want to destroy my open directory just to get the BlackBerry working.
So what I have tried to do is create a 2-way Trust Relationship between the 2 domains, so the BlackBerry server will talk to the Kerio mail server.
The trust relationship appears to create fine from the Windows server side, but I’m not able to retrieve LDAP information from the open directory server.
The creation from the OSX server starts fine automated but then I had to finish it manually.
Has anyone else here created a 2-way trust relationship between Windows and Mac’s before? Any help on how you did it would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked on when the computer last checked in and changed the computer account password with the domain? When a computer changes it's password, Active Directory will store only the current password and it does not expire. The workstation
will store both the current password and the previous password. This for cases when you may restore Active Directory to a point before the computer password change.
To handle this, the workstation will try it's current password, then it's previous.
If you're restoring the workstation to a previous point in time, you may be rolling the stored passwords back too far for Active Directory to accept. I would only imagine this to be the case a handful of times if you're going back 1-2 days.
Are you experiencing 100% failure?

Reboot domain controller changes audit policy on Default Domain Controller Policy

This has been happening for a long time no matter whether my DCs were running Windows Server 2003 or, as they are now, are running Windows Server 2012 R2. It happens on DCs in one particular site, but the policy change it causes is domain-wide.
I have 2 DCs at that site, every time one of them is rebooted, the following policy is turned off, from Success and Failure to No auditing:
Default Domain Controllers Policy - Computer Configuration - Policies - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies/Audit Policy.
I have monitoring application relying on this policy being turned on, and if it's off, it's being reported. The monitoring application knows the change, but it doesn't know how the change was made.
All my DCs are running Windows Server 2012 R2, DFL 2008 R2.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
>>I have 2 DCs at that site, every time one of them is rebooted, the following policy is turned off, from Success and Failure to No auditing:
Did we try to run command gpresult/h report.html with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check how the policy setting was applied after rebooting? Besides, we can also try to run command
auditpol /get / category:* from an elevated command prompt to check what audit settings are applied.

Yahoo domain and .Mac

I have a question similar to one discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1313370&tstart=135
I have added a CNAME record and www.mydomain.com now forwards smoothly to the content I've put up on .Mac.
However, mydomain.com does not. Yahoo only has an A record for the domain without www and it requires an IP address. Doing a DNS lookup on web.mac.com produces 17.250.248.34, however http://17.250.248.34 in a browser is much different from http://web.mac.com. Would that work??
I thought of trying to put a Yahoo front page for mydomain.com with a Javascript redirect to www.mydomain.com, but sadly they don't allow Javascript (or even HTML markup for that matter).
It also seems that the search engines visit the URL without the www, so this is seriously messed up.
Thanks for any ideas!

Help? Yahoo says to set up an A record, leave Source blank (_____.houseofbeing.com) and enter an IP address as Destination. I entered the IP address for web.mac.com: 17.250.248.34.
Yahoo gave an error message:
Warning: Some Advanced DNS configurations can disrupt your service. Please carefully plan your configuration. For more information, refer to our Advanced DNS Help pages.
The record that you requested cannot be set up because it would otherwise interfere with DNS records Yahoo! has created to support your service. Please choose a different source hostname.
Add an A or CNAME Record
Enter a hostname in the "Source" field. To create an A Record, enter an IP address in the "Destination" field. To create a CNAME, enter a hostname as a destination instead.
Note: Any changes you submit will take 30 minutes to take effect.
Source: _______.houseofbeing.com
Hint: Enter "info" to create the hostname info.houseofbeing.com. To create an A Record for your root domain name, leave the Source field blank.
Destination: 17.250.248.34
Hint: For an A Record, enter an IP address, like 17.12.22.11. For a CNAME record, enter another hostname, like info.other-domain.com

Domain Group Policy changes causes clients to be unable to connect to WSUS for Windows Updates

Domain Controller is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, Group Policy Management version 6.0.0.1. WSUS server is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 32-bit, Update Services version 3.2.7600.226. Client machines are Windows 7, some are 64-bit and some are 32-bit.
Every time we make any changes to any of our Group Policies most of our clients stop getting their Windows Updates from the WSUS server within 2-3 days. This occurs when we add a new policy for a group of users, temporarily disable a policy or edit a policy.
Check of the WindowsUpdate.log on affected client machines shows:
2014-06-25 13:40:44:976 760 1610 PT WARNING: GetAuthorizationCookie failure, error = 0x80072EE2, soap client error = 5, soap error code = 0, HTTP status code = 200

A further check of the log files shows:
2014-06-21 19:36:06:995 156 1b0c Misc WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ee2. Proxy List used: <proxy server name:8080> Bypass List used : <(null)> Auth Schemes used : <>
We do not use a proxy except for Internet connections. We configure IE with a pac file. This is set through Group Policy since we restrict user accounts from being able to set it.
The clients that are connecting to the WSUS server have these entries instead:
2014-06-24 09:12:16:779 992 270 Agent Setting download properties on call A20329BC-3467-4B7E-B9F4-6AC6ACBA23E1: priority=3, interactive=1, owner is system=0, proxy settings=1, proxy session id=2
I have a routine that will fix the problem but it is time-consuming and pulls me away from other things I should be doing:
Run registry files on client machine (WindowsUpdate and AU) This is not always necessary and is already set by Group Policy and the affected clients already have the registry settings. No idea why it is necessary to do but it the steps below don't always
work unless it is.
netstop bits and netstop wuauserv
ipconfig /flushdns
Delete qmgr*.* files from Downloader folder
Delete Software Distribution folder
Run from command prompt:
sc.exe sdset bits D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)
sc.exe sdset wuauserv D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)
netstart bits and netstart wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
Run Windows Updates again from Control Panel
This routine always fixes the problem but I've found that I must do each step to guarantee success.
How or where is the proxy setting being changed for WSUS that we see in the WindowsUpdate logs and how do I prevent this from happening? It is also curious that it happens to most but not all of the client machines. When it does happen it's not always the
same client machines.

You're right - the WSUS server is on the inside and does not need a proxy server. Tried running the netsh winhttp reset proxy command but was still not able to connect to the WSUS server. After running the netsh winhttp reset proxy command received response:
Current WinHTTP proxy setting: Direct access <no proxy server>.
Ran the command at 13:49 and then tried Windows Updates again. Here's snippet from the log file:

After this runs, am able to connect to WSUS server for updates. I mentioned Group Policy changes because this only breaks after the Group Policy changes. It doesn't affect every client machine but most of them. Was wondering how the proxy gets reset from
none to the proxy server for Windows Updates?

The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password
also OS X Mavericks: If you forget your login password

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

Windows 8 and Default Domain Policy modification issue

Hi,
I'm unable to edit the default domain policy from my new Windows 8 desktop. It's the only Win8 in the environment so I'm not able to easily test another one unfortunately. The error I receive is:
Group Policy Error
Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You might not have the appropriate rights.
Details: The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.
I have checked from a Win7 and a 2003 machine and can access and edit the GPO without issue using the same account. The Win8 desktop is a fresh install with the RSAT tools installed, Exchange 2010 tools and a few basic applicaitons (non of which stick
out as having anything to do with AD management).
It only occurs if I click edit on the GPO. I'm able to successfully view the policy and edit the permissions etc. Have rebooted and the machine is current with patches as of now.
thanks
Andy
Cheers Andy

Hi,
According to your description, the issue only occurred when you click to edit the GPO. And only occurred on Windows 8. I would like suggest you to follow below suggestions to narrow down the issue:
1. Check out whether the issue only occurred to Default domain policy object.
2. Test on another new installed Windows 8 client with only RSAT installed.
3. Create another new account and add it to domain admin group to test again.
4. Run dcdiag on DCs to check out whether the replications work fine.
Hope this helps.

Yan Li

I have just downloaded Mac OS X 10.9 and Pages 5. When I open any pre-existing document in the new Pages the format is zoomed to 125%, the headers are out of position, the margins are changes, and inserted images are also relocated. What can I do?

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
Any tips anyone?
Cheers
Philip

Thanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
Thanks again
