Someone asked a question about a specific detail in a Microsoft product,and about whether something was permitted in the End User License. Unless one had the paper copy of the EULA,you might not be able to find it. However,Microsoft have a EULA Tool to help you find them easily. Just go to this page –http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx

The Microsoft Online Portal is a wealth of information,but now easy to navigate. Here is a direct link to the help page where you can find information on how to set up Outlook,setting up your iPhone for Office 365 and many other articles. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637580.aspx The Getting Started page is a very good place to start! I use various Geotrust products. There is an online checker tool that verifies the certificate that is inststalled on the website here –https://knowledge.geotrust.com/support/knowledge-base/index?page=content&id=SO9557&actp=LIST Did you know that Microsoft have a page that lists out the end user license agreements for almost all of their products? Check this out here -http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx With a bigger push towards Cloud based services,I have decided to put down a quick reference on how to configure the iPhone to work with Microsoft’s Onlince Services (BPOS). The starting place is to read Microsoft’s Help and How to section –http://www.microsoft.com/online/help/en-us/helphowto/914df3cf-0135-46a7-a975-fd767b6d9a96.htm
A good friend Robert Pearman (SBS MVP) from the UK recently published this useful resource –http://titlerequired.com/2011/05/01/usb-multiboot-toolkit/ In a nutshell,the utility will allow you to create a bootable USB with a number of ISOs on the stick. Excellent for having a portable AntiMalware/AntiVirus utility or for running various other tools. While looking up some PowerShell scripts,I came across a neat command to recursively look through a folder and report on security and permissions for objects in the folder and subfolders. Get-ChildItem C:\Scripts -recurse | ForEach-Object{Get-Acl $_.FullName} | Export-CSV C:\filename.csvIn Windows Server 2003,PowerShell is not automatically installed. You can also use a simple command –CACLS –to perform the same function. cacls [TopFolder] /t >C:\filename.txt This will dump the security information for TopFolder and all subfolders into the filename.txt file. Some great resources for PowerShell scripting can be found from these links.
Here’s a great tool for checking DNS server records. Squishywishywoo –http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/ There are still occasions where old Line of Business applications are still in use that cannot/will not/absolutely will never work on newer operating systems. On these PCs,time zone updates for daylight savings are also not updated,and can cause some grief. To manually create new timezones on these older operating systems,you can use Microsoft’s Time Zone Editor. The Windows NT,2000,XP,2003 can be downloaded here –http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/TZEDIT.exe If you are living in a time warp called Windows 95,98,or ME,you can download the program from the old Microsoft FTP server - ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/technet/samples/ps/Win98/Reskit/CONFIG/ Once downloaded,run tzedit.exe and it will install itself to C:\Program Files\TZEdit. Browse to that location and run the tzedit.exe program.
Creating a new timezone is as simple as clicking on the New button and putting in the details.
I was just reminded of the 10 Immutable Laws of Security (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722487.aspx) Law #1:If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer,it’s not your computer anymore Continue reading IT Security revisited | |||||
