Hi, I am having an issue with Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008. I have a Linux server that is a database for my company. The application that we use to access the database is shared through a Samba share. I have no issues accessing this executable on the server itself but when I RDP into the server with a client, the client cannot access this database program. If I create a shorcut using the DNS name as reference the shortcut is broken and cannot find the file. If I create a shortcut using the IP address I can run the program but cannot login to it as it cannot locate it's user direcory. As I said before though I have no issues accessing or even logging i…

Here are some details on the Windows 7 build 7025 that leaked this past weekend. There has been little talk of Windows 7 builds after the leak and public release of the first beta build (7000) earlier this month, but Microsoft has definitely been busy. What many seem to overlook is that build 7000 was compiled on December 12, 2008, at 2:00PM. Since then, there have been many other builds compiled, including 7003, 7004, 7012, 7015, 7016, and 7025. The last one, which leaked over the weekend (though it is much harder to find than 7000), has the following build string number: "7025.0.x86fre.winmain.090120-1850," meaning it was compiled on January 20, 2009, at 6:50PM. That…

The Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate is the last major IE8 testing milestone. It indicates that we believe that IE8 is implementation complete for CSS 2.1. We also believe IE8 RC1 has the most complete implementation of the CSS 2.1 specification in the industry. The only way to know if a browser has correctly implemented a specification is to develop a comprehensive set of tests for the specification. These can be used to determine both the support for a specific part of the spec and the behavior of a specific browser. Web developers can also use these test pages as examples of how to combine various layout properties and elements in their pages and know that thei…

As we planned Internet Explorer 8, our security teams analyzed the common attacks in the wild and the trends that suggest where attackers will be focusing their attention next. Over the course of IE8’s development, we’ve also worked closely with those in the security research community to stay on top of new classes of threats. One of the most subtle and interesting web application security vulnerabilities is called Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) security researcher Jeremiah Grossman calls CSRF “the sleeping giant†of web vulnerabilities. As Jeremiah notes, preventing CSRF attacks is hard because there’s generally no easy fix. The architectural underpinnings of…

Microsoft on Friday announced that it has extended the general public availability of its Windows 7 Beta yet again, with a new final date of Feb. 9 to get it. The deadline doesn't apply to Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and Microsoft TechNet Plus subscribers. For those who partially downloaded the beta, Feb. 11 is the last day to complete that download. Those who don't have product keys will still be able to get them, even after Feb. 11, according to Microsoft's announcement. Without the product key, the beta will work but it then will expire after just 30 days. Microsoft plans to end the Windows 7 Beta on Aug. 1, and a release candidate version is expected…
