Senario: Company A Company B, there is a secure VPN tunnel between the 2 companies. No trust was in place. A user in company A may need access to a file share at company B. So company B created a user account on B's AD for user in A. User A tries to access the share, it prompts them for credentials, they type in their company B account and all is good. Sometime later a trust is established between AD's at A & B. Now when User in company A tries to access that same share at B it no longer works. They do not get a login. The obvious choice would seem to grant User at A rights thru the trust to this resource. However this would require a ton of work b…

As someone whose email address is posted in thousands of forum posts, newsgroup discussions, and blogs, I get a lot of spam. Of the spam I receive, a significant number of messages represent phishing attacks. Most of these lures aren’t very clever or convincing, but phishing has become a simple numbers game—hosting phishing sites is cheap, and even if only a few users fall for any given phishing attack, attackers will profit by increasing the volume of phishing campaigns. In Internet Explorer 7, we introduced the Phishing Filter, a dynamic security feature designed to warn users when they attempt to visit known-phishing sites, and worked with partners to introduce …

Hello I'm new to this forum but have been struggling with my new pc that has Windows Vista home premium running on it. The machine spec is Intel core 2 quad cpu q6600 @ 2.40 ghz 3 gb ram Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX At first the machine worked great, I use it mainly for gaming and have not really played anything other than Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Company of Heroes and Crysis.

I have a TSweb application that directs users to a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server. This web app supplies the login name to the Terminal Server. In Server 2003 there is no problem. But, now with Server 2008 when the Terminal Server Login dialog comes up I get a button for the user the web page has provided, a button for "Other User" and a Cancel button. How do I change this logon to display the Server 2003 type of dialog with user name, password and Ok and Cancel? I don't really want my users to be displayed an option to login as an "Other User". I ask the Terminal Server newsgroup and they said to try here.
