How I can disable Firefox from browsing Local drives of servers for remote desktop users in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1??

Hi ..
Recently I came across a security hazard in firefox. it displays C and D rives content when "C:\" or "D:\" is typed in browser address bar. is there any workaround for restricting domain users to restrict this on firefox 12 ??
Thanks

Hiya,
It could sound like that one indeed. There are a few options to go for, however it should be fairly easy to find out :)
Create a test GPO and apply to a limited amount of users. GPUpdate and verify that the GPO has been applied using rsop.msc
Then open the application to test and see if it has the desired effect. You might need to change more than one setting, depending on the application and desired behavior.

  • How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

    How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
    I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
    change user /install
    change user /execute
    change user /query
    “The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
    that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
    article).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,

  • Can't browse anything in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

    Hi,
    Need your help and expertise. Suddenly, i can't browse anything in my Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with IIS7. I tried already three(3) different browsers (IE8, Firefox & Chrome). Before, i can browse (using IE8 & Firefox) both private (LAN) and public
    (Internet) websites be it via ip address or domain name without any issues whatsoever. In fact, i can't even access the local http website (status in IIS7 is Started) my server is hosting.
    The only problem occured just yesterday in my server was drive C: got disk full but i was still able to access via RDP the server and free up disk space of 80GB. I tried already to clear the browsser history,
    disable the add-ons of IE8 and turn-off the firewall. I have NOT tried to reset  IE8 settings, disable  third-party
    program or service and startup in msconfig as it require reboot of the server. I'm apprehensive
    to do things i mentioned i have not tried since the server is up and running for 919 days and 17hours. It is why i tried other browsers that i even installed Chrome just to test and troubleshoot the browsing problem.
    Thanks

  • How to install bo xi 3.1 on windows server 2008 r2 sp1 (virtual machine )

    HI GUYS --
    operating system: I am trying to install Business Objects into a virtual  computer which has a windows server 2008 R2 SP1 operating system. I installed version BO XI 3.1 and I also installed Service pack 3 and Service pack 4. I installed liveoffice usual way. Whenever I try to design  xcelsius and dashboard, I got some errors. In order to fix these errors, I followed SAP notes step by step. However, It didnt help me at all. I also tried to install by looking at install guide and supported platform documents, but I get an error each time of doing that. I can write each error over here. I also opened a link over here. Check out the link please to see the errors how to display webi docs. in liveoffice?
    My main question is this.
    Are there anybody who works operating system windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and this installed into the virtual machine? If so, Is it worked by doing which installations exactly?
    Note; Business Objects tools work very well (infoview, cmc, web intelligencei and the others work  without problems at QAAWS BO XI 3.1, but they have been given cluster error at BO XI 3.1 SP3) . In addition, port server settings have been installed based on the installion guide. If you give me any information other than whatever I said, I appreciate that. I also point out something. If I dont get any message which I attached a sample when I try to operate life office. In this situation I cant see either my documets or web documents in infoview)

    Hi SYaGCi,
    Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
    "Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. The SP3 patch only release of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise does not provide support for these two new platforms."
    Kind regards,

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
    added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
    When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
    other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
    Regards,
    Jeff
     

    Hi,
    You can
    insert Windows Server 2012 R2 DVD into the DVD-ROM and click onRun
    Setup.exe. You can refer to the link below:

  • Post upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if i lack some steps.
    We have an existing server having Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 as OS, DC, and DNS. I had to upgrade it based on global standards so I upgraded it into Windows Server 2012 R2.
    What I did was an online upgrade, insert the DVD installation disc and it asked for a adprep for forest and domain.
    I did both forest and domain adprep and installation continued. After reboot, it showed up errors on my local server. Please see image below:
    and when i clicked each roles under Manageability, it shows me
    Is there something I need to do to fix these red marks?
    Regards,
    Jeff

    These are the logs i've seen inside Custom Views>Server Roles>AD DS, DNS Server, and Administrative Events respectively.

  • How I can disable the all USB storage drives

    Hi,
    I want to remove some extension with the help of them I can disable anyone to connect USB drives to my Mac
    and if when I want I can use on my own
    quick help appreciated

    Hi,
    From what I have read the extension that handles the USB is
    /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
    It is owned by root so you will need to use that permission when manipulating it.

  • How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

    I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
    1. Samsung SCX-4521f
    2. Samsung SCX-4300
    There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
    The drivers installed are as follows:
    SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7    3.04.96:03    Print Driver    11 Dec, 2009    12.37    MULTI LANGUAGE)
    SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
    After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
    On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
    The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
    The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
    Neither will print a test page.
    Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
    The error persists and nothing will print.
    When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
    "Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
    Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
    As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
    Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
    Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
    With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
    However, I can't see any specific error messages.
    How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
    Please can anyone advise further?

    The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
    Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
    Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
    Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
    Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
    I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
    The first job I see goes like this:
    Information: Rendering job 41.
    Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
    Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
    sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
    Information:Printing job 41.
    Information:Spooling job 41.
    This job actually printed.
    Other jobs printed fine with no error.
    There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
    Any ideas what to try now?
    Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

  • How do I remote control a user in remote desktop services in Windows Server 2012?

    Hello,
    we currently operate in a 2008 R2 environment with the majority of clients connecting to our terminal servers.  We use the remote control feature in terminal services manager to connect to a users session when a user phones our helpdesk with
    a question / issue.
    Just today I've installed 2012 server on a hyper-v virtual machine to have a play with it.  I've installed the Remote Desktop Services and noticed this remote control feature is gone.  I can still log off or send a message to a user, but I can
    no longer remote control their session.
    I've seen one or two other posts stating this feature has been removed completely.
    So, a couple of questions:
    1. How on earth do I "shadow" or connect to a users session now?
    2. If I have to go third party to get this functionality back, what's the best software on the market for this and does it support remote connecting of users who have their RDP session span multiple monitors? (2008 R2 doesn't)
    3. Will Microsoft ever bring this feature back? as at this stage I doubt we would move to 2012.  This is the one feature that is crucial to the day-to-day running of our helpdesk.
    Cheers.

    A large percentage of our IT support business is through remote management. Most of our large enterprise customers are Terminal Server environment (now called Remote Desktop - why does Microsoft have to change EVERYTHING - how would they feel if I changed
    the colour of the sky from blue to red just because I could?).
    Last week, after much expense to the customer (and realising that there WOULD be some cosmetic headaches to contend with Server Management) we installed a new "Remote Desktop Server" for them and shifting them from 2003 - a big leap so we discovered.
    During deployment it came as a HORRIFIC surprise that we could not remote control user's sessions!
    Yes, we ARE to blame for not fully realising the cock-up Microsoft has made for us. We should have fully researched every detail of what changes they made and what they have robbed us of.
    Firstly, the removal of the ability to fully manage user's sessions came as a HUGE blow!
    The remaining multiple issues that followed (including the hugely cumbersome and SLOW way of accessing user's sessions and the false information that the console was reporting users logged in when they had already logged out) suddenly resulted in us decommissioning
    the new 2012 installation in favour of a 2008 R2 installation.
    Some may ask; Why not use "Third Party" apps to counteract the issue? Firstly; why spend MORE and why use a third party app that "is as" cumbersome to use just because of a freaking feature that Microsoft deemed a "security risk" - for G.D sake!
    We have now been directed by management to convince customers that a move to 2012 is NOT recommended - good choice boss, I love you!
    The question is; will Microsoft re-implement this feature and fix Server Management performance/accessibility in a future release before 2008 R2 is no longer available? Probably not - it looks like their stubbornness to forge ahead with their craze mind-set
    of transforming their products into something that is now annoying millions (including their bloody push towards everything-cloud which NONE of our customers want anything to do with).
    Microsoft! Get us back on to your side and take a step back, take a deep breath and listen to consumers!

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically filling in the spaces for my username and password on one of my password protected websites?

    Firefox is automatically entering my username and password on my Sacramento State University secure password site. I am trying to get that function stopped. I do not want my username and password automatically entered in the spaces provided for log in. I want to manually enter that information myself each time I log in to that particular secure password protected site.
    So far...I can not find a way to do that. All I find is a way to change my password. I do not wish to change my password. I just do not want it automatically entered for me.

    Thanks guys...I did as you suggested and it worked! Thanks!
    However...just want you all to know...a computer illiterate like myself had trouble finding which function on the menu bar to click on to find the options and security settings to "unclick." Eventually...I found the correct window.
    Thanks again...your advice worked!

  • How do I move firefox from one hard drive to another with all of its preferences with it ( bookmarks, Facebooks, Menu bar, ect. )?

    I put in a bigger hard drive and want to move fire fox to the new drive. Both drives are now in the computer. The computer is a Mac Pro (early one ).

    Thanks for the responses for far, I really appriciate it.
    Ok, I have two question for two response I received:
    To infocatchjp:
    1. I didn't find any connector for "ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim".
    2. Rescue and recovey is a windows tool or built in IBM tool.
    3. Would it tranfer the program as well and also the hidden partition for the laptop.
    To stbigham:
    I went to the website for the given software and checked out its feature. My only question is would the software transfer the existing and hidden partition when it is moved to the new HD.
    thank you both for your support. Hope to hear from you soon.

  • How to disable the annoying security warning for all users in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi,
    The employees from the administration complain all the time about the different types of security warning that they get when trying to run some applications which are used frequently.
    Since the number of the users is too big it is unfeasible to go through all the users and disable the User Access Control at their account settings.
    Is it possible to achieve this through given account policy settings. I want to perform the changes on the server so it applies to *all* (or maybe those of Administration department) users.
    One useful information here can be the following: we use 2 different severs, the application which cause the errors are in the terminal server, and the users are in the main server. Where should I perform the changes?
    Best,
    D

    Hiya,
    It could sound like that one indeed. There are a few options to go for, however it should be fairly easy to find out :)
