Limit IMAP access to specified IP range

Hi,
I want to enable IMAP on my Exchange 2010 server, but to restrict the access to that service so that only users from within my domain could use it, and not from outside the organization. Can this be done? Cause I see that I can only restrict the IP address
of the NIC that listens to it.
Thanks!
Lena.

Hi Lena,
If the suggestion from ExchangeITPro is helpful, would you like to mark the reply as an answer?
Have a nice day : )
Thanks

How can I block IMAP access to allow only 1 external IP and all LAN IP's

I have a PostFix/Dovecot Standard OSX server setup and functioning perfectly, but I need to make a pretty major tweak.
Here is some background : I have 1 network connection that connects to the LAN and provides connection to the email server over the local LAN. I also have a satellite office that has access to the email server offsite over the internet on a different network connection.
What I want to do is limit IMAP access to the server so they cannot access the email server from home, smartphone, or any other device. I only want them to be able to access their email from work.
So I have a long list of local IP's 192.168.56/23 and one External IP 1xx.x.x.x I want to make sure has access to send and receive mail.
I have been researching this and it looks like the config has to take place in dovecot since that is the imap server, but I am a novice at dovecot. I would love to just turn off the imap port from the firewall but that would block the satellite office and they would be unable to connect
Anybody out there able to lead me in the right direction?

I'd go out on a limb here and suggest that your best solution lies in setting up a VPN between the main and satellite offices. That way the remote office can share whatever resources you like in the main office without fear of opening services to unwanted users.
Failing that, your next best option is some kind of policy/access control at your firewall/router. This may range anywhere from trivial to next-to-impossible depending on the make/model of your firewall/router.
If your firewall/router can't do it then you could run a software firewall on your server, with access controls for the IPs you want to allow/block, but it's a poor option IMHO.
Unfortunately there's no support for this kind of thing in dovecot itself, which is why you need to look further up the network for solutions.
It's also worth mentioning that restricting dovecot access will do nothing for who can connect to your server to send mail. Dovecot is only concerned with end-user access to their mailboxes (e.g. IMAP) and has no bearing on who can submit messages to the server. For that you need to understand Postfix's configuration and access controls, but it's highly unlikely you want to restrict incoming SMTP to specific addresses only since that would prevent other domains' mail servers from sending you mail.

Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

Hi, guys
I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
or
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

How to limit the access of a transaction

please provide hw to create an authorization object... like hw to limit the access of a particular userdefined trasaction to a particular user

hi
good
Element of the authorization concept.
Authorization objects allow you to define complex authorizations.
An authorization object groups together up to 10 authorization fields in an AND relationship in order to check whether a user is allowed to perform a certain action.
To pass an authorization test for an object, the user must satisfy the authorization check for each field in the object.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/671285439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
Basic form->
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT object
ID name1 FIELD f1
ID name2 FIELD f2
ID name10 FIELD f10.
Example
Check whether the user is authorized for a particular plant. In this case, the following authorization object applies:
Table OBJ : Definition of authorization object
M_EINF_WRK
ACTVT
WERKS
Here, M_EINF_WRK is the object name, whilst ACTVT and WERKS are authorization fields. For example, a user with the authorizations
M_EINF_WRK_BERECH1
ACTVT 01-03
WERKS 0001-0003 .
can display and change plants within the Purchasing and Materials Management areas.
Such a user would thus pass the checks
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
    ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0002'
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
    ID 'WERKS' DUMMY
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01':
but would fail the check
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
    ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0005'
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '04'.
To suppress unnecessary authorization checks or to carry out checks before the user has entered all the values, use DUMMY - as in this example. You can confirm the authorization later with another AUTHORITY-CHECK .

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

Any suggestions please?

I would like to limit the access to my Macbook Pro to 15 minutes a day for my kids.

Hello
I would like to limit the access to my computer for my daughter to 15 minutes a day. It seems that parental control cannot have anything lower than 30 minutes.
Any idea how we can bring that down to 15 min?
Thanks

Oh, and get out the whip while you're at it!
Just kidding - I've no children so I don't use parental controls - but 15 minutes? That's just cruel!

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.

NOTE: My access is through terminal services.
I received a new server to load my IBM Rational products. I was able to load ClearQuest, Req Pro and ClearCase with no problems. Because this machine is being used as a web interface for the products, I needed to also load Crystal Reports XI along with the embedded report server. Well, I got everything installed but the embedded reports server.
On my attempt to double click on the file that would extract and install the addins needed I received the error message:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
After some testing I see that if I select any executable associated with installing an application, I get this error.
I've been searching all over the internet for a solution to this proble. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to fix it?

Ok this will be a long post, and for starters I wanted to point something out to everyone - there is two separate discussions going on in this thread. On one side you have a discussion about servers and people using thin clients or Citrix having this error
code and changing Internet Explorer to resolve this conflict. Then on the other side all the stand alone home users with XP and Vista and 7 trying to figure out what is going on with their install that has the exact same error code. Microsoft in their infinite
wisdom has given this error code to relate to multiple different errors hence the confusion.
Now here is my story, with out a resolution yet.
Ok, so I ran into a real nasty trojan virus, that is now resolved and gone. However, when I went into the process of being able to resolve this issue a sticky byproduct was this permissions issue. This is how it happens, I download a video with Firefox or
any browser Opera, IE whatever. Then after I have downloaded it into the proper location I can see it within the downloads list from the browser, should I double click to launch the video with WMV it will fail with that error "Windows cannot access the
specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". However, should I open the directory and then launch from the true download location, rather in the list of the files within the browser download list it
will launch fine. This is the problem I can utilize the programs directly launching them from explorer, however should I try and launch a program from inside another program it will fail to launch.
This is a Vista 64 bit installation, and I am pretty tech savvy individual. What I have tried thus far is to take owner ship of the directory since trusted installer was the owner previously. After I had done that I went into the permissions of the exe and
sought to make sure that the file was open for everyone to be able to modify and have full control - it was. After that I also tried launching the browsers as admin privileges to see if it would still launch. It will not it refuses to allow calls to this directory.
That being said it is also a big problem when I use Corel DVD Moviefactory, because this program is trying to launch other programs from this directory to run. So, I need to figure out why is it that I am not able to have programs make calls to this directory
and try and launch exe files and fail, yet the permissions are fine and I can launch them from directly clicking on the item in a directory?
Further clarification as to what happens:
Firefox downloads to Harvester\downloads
All my pictures, movies, executable, rar/zip, reside in this directory "downloads"
In the browser Firefox there is a "downloads" [contrl+J] list that shows what you have downloaded through the browser
All of these items are able to double click and execute from this list with out having to navigate to the "downloads" directory
When executing a WMV file it will fail and error out with the "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" error.
However, navigating to this directory will allow me to launch all programs with out any problem, the difference is I am launching from the file rather than through a program making a call to the x86 directory to launch the file. If I have an item that doesn't
require a program to launch from the x86 directory it will launch ok through Firefox, ex InfanView, HJsplit, etc.
This is a problem with other programs making calls to external programs residing in the x86 directory like Corel Moviefactory 7. While running it will make the same error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the
appropriate permission to access the item" when trying to make a new DVD, because it utilizes something in that directory an external program.
This happens with Opera as well, don't know about IE I don't use it.
What I have done thus far:
Removed my firewall that was MS native firewall
Removed my anti-virus and malware software - AVG, MalwareBytes, Windows Defender, Windows Security Essentials, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spy cop, and a few others
Went and took ownership of the directory
Tried registry hacks
Altered AVG to exclude the (x86) directory
Re-installed AVG and MalwareBytes to see if I can repair the file
Shared the (x86) directory for everyone and inherited the permissions
Tried CLI restoring of default permissions
Tried to make changes in safe mode still shut down.
This is where I am now....waiting for a scan to end to reboot and check to see if I was able to make any progress.

Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may no

Installed FF 16, 17, 18. Will not open in normal administrator login, nor with "Run as administrator" but will in W7 safe mode. Changed permissions (had to do it in W7 Safe Mode, normal login would not allow (logged in as an administrator) could not delete the Mozilla files in normal login. On rare occasions, with a new install, I could get it to open once, then not again. Searched the reg for any mention of Mozilla or FF and cleaned it. Tried FF safe mode, no luck. Checked permissions after taking ownership and propagating full ownership rights to all FF files, many reboots, no luck. Chrome, IE and SeaMonkey work fine. Using a fairly new install of W7 Professional 64 bit, on a Dell Optiplex 990 i7, 16GB ram. Had the same problem with another user on an identical box. No problem on other computers No other program problems.

I should have been a bit more definitive.
I have uninstalled FF, with the windows uninstaller, by manually cleaning the files and the registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, and by running Revo uninstaller - always rebooting and checking to see if the files are indeed gone. (I have set windows file preferences to see all files, including system files.) I have run 4 AV/malware scanners and found nothing but a few tracking cookies. I download, from Mozilla.org, (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2018.0.exe) a fresh copy of the Firefox Setup 18.0.exe each time and install when logged in as an administrator and choose "Run as Administrator". I get the same result each time I try to open Firefox. Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This happens even when I run the .exe file from the x86 program directory. I have also attempted to run in XPsp3 compatibility mode to no avail,
I make the following assumptions:
The system is not infected
I am doing clean installs
There is no existing trace of FF on the system
I get identical results on one other W7 64 bit Optiplex 990 system with an i7 processor and 16 GB or ram.
I CAN run in windows safe mode with networking.
I have no other software or hardware issues.

How to specify date range in Planning web form?

Hi,
I want to specify a Month range in column of Planning 9.3.1 form.
I thought $forecastmth : Dec would work but it does not.
I even tried Oct:Dec and it does not work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

As of the current version of Planning (11.1.1.3), there is no way to specify a range during the creation of a web input form. You have to add the months you want (in the order you want them) to the form individually. There's no way to add a function that produces a member list, other than the built-in @DESCENDANTS, @LEV0, @CHILDREN, etc functions.
I have seen clients build alternate hierarchies to support this type of requirement, but that's a fairly indirect way to achieve this. Back in the days when we would build VBA planning apps. you could put a range into a substitution variable (eg. "Oct":"Dec"), however I don't think that a Planning web input form will interpret this correctly.

Specifying a range of sheets in a formula

I am new to mac and numbers. I have a new iMac with Maverick. Is there a way to sum the same cell in a range of sheets without having to have add all of them separately? In other words, a way to specify a range of sheets? Or, pehaps specify a named cell and sum all occurances of it on those sheets where it exists? Thanks...

You can do something like this:
Here is an example where the are four Sheets. Each of the first three sheets contains a table titled "Table 1":
1) Sheet 1
2) Sheet 2
3) Sheet 3
4) Summary
Sheet 1:
Sheet 2:
Sheet 3:
Summary:
In the Summary Sheet:
Enter the Sheet names and Table names, and cell to reference in columns A thru C
Then
D2=INDIRECT(A2&"::"&B2&"::"&C2)
this is shorthand for select cell D2, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=INDIRECT(A2&"::"&B2&"::"&C2)
select D2, copy
select column D, then command click cell D1 (to unselect D1), paste

Merge cell without specifying a range?

I am running a Powershell script with an XLSx function where I get output from multiple script and
the output are stored in seprate worksheets. In 2 of my worksheets I have row name for each column, I have managed to remove (blank) the duplicate row value. Now I am looking to merge those cells whose colA rows are blank. I understand that we need to specify
the range for the cells to be merge. Is it possible to merge without specifying a range?

Hi,
Would you like to share us a sample of the file? Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the blank cells with above cells which include the value. And you do not want to assign the range. If it is, please try the following
code:
Sub MergeCells()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim MyRng As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim MergRng As Range
Range("A1").Activate
LRow = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Set MyRng = Range("A1:A" & LRow)
For Each c In MyRng
If c.Value = "" Then
Set MergRng = Range(c, c.Offset(-1, 0))
With MergRng.Cells
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.ShrinkToFit = False
.MergeCells = True
End With
End If
Next c
End Sub

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item" Why?

Whenever i try to access any folder on my computer(Windows 7), it tells me "Windows
cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item",
this happens even for My
Computer and Control Panel. It's driving me nuts! I'll be honest here, I was trying to uninstall Visual
Studio 2013 Communityfrom my computer by going to Programs
and Features but for some reason, it was getting stuck at "Configuring
Your System". After trying it numerous times, I went to the visual studio installation directory, and removed
the installation files from there. I even removed the files from the C:\Program
Data folder, then i went back to Programs
and Features and tried to remove the listing there, but I got a dialog box saying "you
don't have sufficient access to uninstall visual studio" . I googled this problem and found this solution
(http://superuser.com/a/174198)
then i tried using the solution, I used SubinAcl and
changed the registry permissions as mentioned in the solution and ended up like this!
All the access permissions are set correctly (that's what I can make out...)
Please Help!

Hi
Some required information are needed for us to help you.
Hi NabeelOmer,
We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
D:
To reset all permissions, run this command
icacls * /reset /t /c /q
Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.
