This Week’s Tip:
Make sure your agents are paying attention to detail and provide top quality service all the time. It’s the little things that make the difference such as sounding happy to take a call, being polite, letting the customer hang up first, asking if there is anything else they can do for the customer. It’s also making sure they log calls properly and provides you and your management team with accurate and timely feedback.

    SearchFinancialSecurity.com: The Future of Information Security

    No Comments »

    Ever wonder what Information Security will look like 10 years from now? Will it evolve or be radically different from today? Information Security as we know it may not exist; it may simply be embedded into everything. Or Web services may upend traditional enterprise security.

    The editors of SearchFinancialSecurity.com compiled an e-guide addressing these specific questions. They asked some of the best and brightest minds in the business what they see ahead and the answers were far ranging: everything from attacks masked heavily with encryption to zombification of corporate networks. Some predict radical changes while others foresee more of the same.

    Security luminary and CTO, BT Counterpane, Bruce Schneier; Former White House Cyper-Security Advisor, Howard Schmidt; Vice President, CSO, Sun MicroSystems Whitfield Diffie; and creater of SNORT, Martin Roech, all with their own predictions, all compiled here to help you prepare your organization for what’s to come. Activate your membership today and take a peak at what the future may hold.

    Citrix SpeedScreen Progressive Display Delivers PACS Images
    You may have already seen the Tolly Group’s report on how SpeedScreen Progressive Display enables delivery of PACS images to healthcare workers over a variety of network types. But for me it is even more exciting to hear from customers actually experiencing this technology in the field. Recently I learned of a hospital network using XenApp 4.5 (formerly known as Presentation Server) to delivery radiography images from their Agfa IMPAX 6.2 image and information management system.

    How Do I Know If Citrix “RAVE” Is Working?
    Recently I published a video blog post about RAVE (Remote Audio & Video Extensions), the technology behind SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration. RAVE supports high quality playback of media streams that can be decoded by a media player that uses DirectShow or DirectX Media Objects (DMO). A question came in from the field asking how a customer can determine whether SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration is functioning. So here are some handy tips for verifying whether RAVE is working or not. In addition, you’ll find a helpful troubleshooting article in our Knowledge Center.

Project Delaware will be the first major release to support Windows Server 2008 and we have been working on this release for almost 2 years. It has been a great journey and we know its importance.

    Server / Application / Desktop Virtualization Resources


    AU REVOIR LAYER 4 (IPS): VMsafe and Cannes
    Last month I blogged that 2008 would become The Year of Virtsec; last week at Cannes VMware announced their VMsafe initiative; this week the blogs and press are buzzing with what may indeed be the IT industry’s equivalent of the Beatles first appearance on Ed Sullivan. The turnout, the enthusiasm and the security leadership articulated by VMware has set the stage for a substantial shift in data center security.

    VMworld Europe 2008 – Virtual and Physical Management
    This is the 4th VMworld conference that I’m attending representing Microsoft. And it’s the first time I’ve heard/seen acknowledgment from VMware that if virtualization isn’t everywhere (which it’s not) then management of the non-VM layer is important.

    VMworld Europe 2008 – Stay Safe Today
    Day 2 began with Dr. Mendel Rosenblum’s keynote, which Alessandro outlined here. And the security pat-down to get through the door foreshadowed the latter portion of Mendel’s keynote, which focused on a new security initiative by VMware. Called VMsafe, this initiative allows security software vendors (like McAfee – maybe even Microsoft Forefront one day) to write their anti-malware and other security software to ESX Server hypervisor API.

    VMware VMotion and VLAN Security
    Xensploit, as it’s called, is the recently demonstrated exploit that allows virtual machines (VMs) that are “in flight” during a live migration (XenMotion in Citrix XenServer, VMotion in VMware ESX Server) to be manipulated. If you haven’t yet read the PDF that describes Xensploit, I highly encourage that you take a look at it. It’s very enlightening as to exactly what can be done to an in-flight VM.

    Moving Past the Virtualization Hype
    It’s only natural, I suppose. When wireless networking started to become popular, it was decried as insecure and everyone was warned against using it. When mobile computing started to take off, it was proclaimed a terrible security risk, and organizations were warned against it. And now it’s happening with server virtualization. Of course, since VMware is the lead player in this realm, they are the ones with the target on their back.

    VMware’s VMsafe: The Good, the Bad, the Bubbly…
    Back in August before VMworld 2007, I wrote about the notion that given Cisco’s investment in VMware, we’d soon see the ability for third parties to substitute their own virtual switches for VMware’s. Further, I discussed the news that VMware began to circulate regarding their release of an API originally called Vsafe that promised to allow third party security and networking applications to interact with functions exposed by the Hypervisor.

    VMWare’s VMSafe: Security Industry Defibrilator….Making Dying Muscle Twitch Again
    As I mentioned in a prior posting, VMware’s VMsafe has the potential to inject life back into the atrophied and withering heart muslce of the security industry and raise the prognosis from DOA to the potential for a vital economic revenue stream once more.

    Desktop Virtualization (VDI) Announcements at VMworld Europe 2008
    Back in 2006, I speculated that one day VMware would allow hosted virtual desktops to be “checked out” and used offline. Lo and behold, one of the announcements that has come out of VMworld Europe 2008 is just that very thing (quoting from VMware’s web site):

    Should Storage Virtualization Always Be Part Of A Virtual Processing Environment?
    John Joseph, VP of Marketing of Dell EqualLogic Storage, and I had a short, but interesting dicussion about the place virtual storage should have in a well designed virtualized environment. If one is attempting to abstract functions away from the underlying physical platform, it simply makes sense to do the same for functions such as storage.

    Desktop Virtualization Nears Inflection Point
    We surveyed 50 CIOs from IT departments of Fortune 1000 or equivalent companies regarding their future expectations for their PC infrastructure. The results of our survey and our channel checks reinforce our thesis that desktop virtualization is now becoming a critical component of many companies’ desktop replacement strategies. Specifically, the average utilization of traditional desktops are expected to decline from 87.8% currently to 74.3% in five years, while survey respondents indicated that virtual desktops would grow from 1.6% of deployments to 8.5% in five years.

    Six Keys To Virtualization Project Success
    With server virtualization being all the rage, it can be very tempting to jump into it with a “build it and they will come” mentality. This could be risky, since recent surveys have indicated that a sizable number of adopters aren’t able to determine if their projects were successful.

    Controlling Virtualization Sprawl
    Server virtualization has brought many benefits to businesses during the past few years. Organizations have been able to lower the number of physical servers and ultimately reduce hardware and maintenance costs. With virtual servers, IT departments have been able to respond to the technical needs of their organizations more quickly and deploy a system at only a fraction of the time that it would take to deploy a physical device. Without a doubt, server virtualization has exceeded the expectations of many organizations, consistently delivering a healthy ROI.

    Is VMware Killing the Storage Industry?
    That seems to be the message still coming out of Virtual Iron. I thought Ed Walsh’s conversation about this had died off a long time ago. Apparently I was mistaken since it came up at a customer again yesterday. Ed is the CEO and President of Virtual Iron. He gave a talk at Storage Decisions late last year that appeared on YouTube. He also recorded a rather humorous “cocktail hour” talk and posted it to YouTube as well. Both say basically the same thing – VMware is killing the storage industry. I really have a hard time believing that.

    A Printer Virtualization Layer for All Virtualized Solutions
    Companies with virtualization strategies can utilize resources more efficiently, simplify the system administration, and make applications or desktops centrally available for PCs or thin clients. Virtualization becomes problematic with printing: All printer drivers in use must be made available to every desktop and must be updated. A remedy to this is the printer virtualization layer developed by ThinPrint, which the company will present at CeBIT.

    Will VMware Really Become The Next Netscape?
    The answer is simple, if VMware is not careful they absolutely will become the next Netscape. That being said, the more I think about this question, the more I can think of ways for VMware to thwart the Microsoft and friends attack. VMware needs to “go to the mattresses” they need to fight back and VMware has the capabilities and so far they seem to have the will and determination to do so.

    Changing the SQL Server Administrator Login – SQL2000

    No Comments »

    This Microsoft Document resides HERE

    Changing the SQL Server Administrator Login

    When using Windows NT integrated security with SQL Server, the SQL Server login information must be identical to the Windows NT account information. Therefore, if you change the Windows NT password of the domain account that the SQL Server is logged on with, then you also must update the password in the following SQL Server services: MSSQLServer, SQLServerAgent, MSDTC, and the MODTBAD Office Developer DCOM component.

    If you change a password, it must be updated on the server, the developer workstation, and the client computers. If the password is not updated for the SQL Server Agent, Access Workflow Designer cannot start and stop the agent automatically. Access Workflow Designer also uses the agent to manage time-out events for team solutions, so it is critical this service be set up properly.

    Any time you change a password, it should be updated in the following locations:

    Changing the sa Password on the Server

    During installation of the Access Workflow Designer server components, you enter the user name and password of the Windows NT domain. When using Windows NT integrated security, this same account information is used by SQL Services. When you change the Windows NT password for that log on, it also must be changed for SQL Server services. For information about changing the password when using MSDE, see Changing the sa Password on the Client.

    To set up SQL Server services to log on under a different user account

    1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click Services.
    3. Double-click MSSQLServer, SQLServerAgent, or MSDTC. You must update the information for each of these services.
    4. In the Services dialog box, in the Login area, select This account, and then enter or update the account information.
    5. Click OK. Update the other services listed in step 3 as required.
    6. Click Close.

      Important   If Microsoft Full-Text Search is installed on the computer, do not change the MSSQLServer account information in the Services application in Control Panel. Although the Search service is assigned to the local system account, it also tracks the MSSQLServer service account. You must change the MSSQLServer service account in SQL Server Enterprise Manager for the Microsoft Search service to stay synchronized.

    Changing the User ID for MODTBAD

    During installation of the Access Workflow Designer server components, you enter the user name and password of the Windows NT domain account that the Access Workflow Designer executable (MODTBAD.exe) uses to log on to the domain. Generally, this is the same account used by the SQL Server Services. If this is the case, when you change the Windows NT password for that log on, it also must be changed for MODTBAD.exe.

    To change the User ID for MODTBAD

    1. From the Start menu on the server, select Run, and then type DCOMCNFG.
    2. If you have never run DCOMCNFG before and Office is installed on the server, you may see two messages asking if you want to register Msohelp.exe. Click Yes for both messages.
    3. On the Team Solutions tab, select MODTBAD.
    4. Click Properties, and then select the Identity tab.
    5. Under This user, type or browse for the user whose password has changed.
    6. Enter and confirm the new password.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Restart the server.

      Note   The Windows NT domain account used for the MODTBAD identity must have system administrator permissions on the server. However, this account does not have to be the same account used by SQL Server.

    Changing the sa Password on the Client

    You have a variety of options for updating the SQL Server Agent password on the clients. The method you specify depends on the tools available on the client computer.

    If the SQL Server Enterprise Manager is available on the client computer, you can change the sa password directly. For details, follow the procedure in Changing the sa Password on the Server.

    If Access is available on the client computer, update the password using the Security option on the Tools menu in an Access data project.

    If you are using MSDE on the client, there is no user interface for changing the sa password for the SQL Server Agent. You can update the password by accessing the client computer remotely using SQL Server Enterprise Manager on the server.

    To change the sa password on the client using Access

    1. From the Tools menu in your Access data project, select Database Security.
    2. On the Server Logins tab, select sa, and then click Edit.
    3. Change the password, and click OK.

    You can connect to the client computer remotely to use SQL Server Enterprise Manager to modify the client settings as long as you have created a server alias for your client computer. For details, see Using MSDE with Windows 95/98.

    To change the sa password on the client computer without SQL Server Enterprise Manager

    1. In the SQL Server Enterprise Manager, right-click the SQL Server Group, and select New SQL Server Registration. If the registration wizard launches, clear the Always run this wizard option, and click OK.
    2. Type the name of your client computer, or click Browse to display a list of computer names.
    3. Under Connection, select Use SQL Server authentication, enter sa in the Login Name field and the sa password, and click OK.
