Auditing user accounts in Windows Server 2008 R2

Imagen
Windows Group Policy  is a powerful collection of configuration elements, and it can roll nicely into security configurations required for organizations of various types. One Group Policy configuration that may be useful is the User Account Management Audit Policy. This policy allows user account audits for events, including object being changed, created, deleted, renamed, enabled, and disabled, password changes, permissions assignment changes, and other actions. You can get to this setting by going to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Advanced Audit Policy Configuration | Account Management | User Account Management. The policy is shown in  Figure A .  Figure A Once you enable this configuration, relevant events are passed into the Windows Security log for user account objects. Let's go through a quick example with this audit configuration in place. On a test server, I did two events that will cause an audit event: I enabled the guest account, and then I...

Configuring Site to Site IPSec VPN Tunnel Between Cisco Routers

Imagen
Thanks to: Site-to-Site IPSec VPN Tunnels are used to allow the secure transmission of data, voice and video between two sites (e.g offices or branches). The VPN tunnel is created over the Internet public network and encrypted using a number of advanced encryption algorithms to provide confidentiality of the data transmitted between the two sites. This article will show how to setup and configure two Cisco routers to create a permanent secure site-to-site VPN tunnel over the Internet, using the IP Security (IPSec) protocol . In this article we assume both Cisco routers have a static public IP address. Readers interested in configuring support for dynamic public IP address endpoint routers can refer to our Configuring Site to Site IPSec VPN with Dynamic IP Endpoint Cisco Routers article. IPSec VPN tunnels can also be configured using GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) Tunnels with IPsec. GRE tunnels greatly simply the configuration and administration of VPN tunnels and are covered ...

Cisco ASA 5510 Firewall : Basic Configuration Tutorial

We assume that our ISP has assigned us a static public IP address (e.g 200.200.200.1 as an example) and that our internal network range is 192.168.1.0/24. We will use Port Address Translation (PAT) to translate our internal IP addresses to the public address of the outside interface. The difference of the 5505 model from the bigger ASA models is that it has an 8-port 10/100 switch which acts as Layer 2 only. That is, you can not configure the physical ports as Layer 3 ports, rather you have to create interface Vlans and assign the Layer 2 interfaces in each VLAN. By default, interface Ethernet0/0 is assigned to VLAN 2 and it's the outside interface (the one which connects to the Internet), and the other 7 interfaces (Ethernet0/1 to 0/7) are assigned by default to VLAN 1 and are used for connecting to the internal network. Let's see the basic configuration setup of the most important steps that you need to configure. Step1: Configure the internal interface vlan --...

Elastix T1 outgoing call not ringing

Imagen
That would make me think that you have the r option on the "Asterisk outbound dial command option" (PBX -> General Settings),  By using r on Dial, you are forcing the sending of AST_CONTROL_RINGING, and therefore 180 Ringing, even though no out of band ringing indication has arrived. This will cause the actual SIP phone to generate ring back tone. What I'm suggesting is that using Progress will force the use of early media on the caller's side, which will, hopefully allow it to hear the actual ring back tone arriving from the public network.  

Migrating SharePoint database instance to another server

Imagen
Before attempting to move the databases associated with your SharePoint instance, make sure you backup your farm before continuing. For example, the following PowerShell script performs a full backup of the farm: Backup-SPFarm -Directory c:\backuppath -BackupMethod Full Depending on the size of the databases, this may take some time to complete. One thing to check before starting the move is that the version of SQL is identical for both the source and target servers. Once your happy that SharePoint has been backed up, the first thing to do is stop all SharePoint and Internet Information Services (IIS) services on the server that is running the Central Administration Web site. Do this by opening the Services snap-in from the Microsoft Management Console. Services Snap-In The following SharePoint services should be stopped: SharePoint 2010 Administration SharePoint 2010 Timer SharePoint 2010 Tracing SharePoint 2010 User Code Host SharePoint 2010 VSS Writer SharePoint 20...
