SFTP Client as a Service?

February 5, 2014, 7:03 am

Hi,

Running two different servers, Windows 2003 and 2008R2, but have the same requirement on both.  We use a hosted document management service and we are trying to streamline the process of scanning and transmitting documents.  The hosting company has provided us with a secure FTP program, which is setup to monitor a folder on the network and then automatically FTP any files placed in that folder to their systems for filing.

This works fine except it requires I remain logged into the server for it to work.  As soon as I log out it shutsdown the FTP client.

So I'm looking for a secure FTP client that can be run as a service so I don't have to be logged in for it to automatically transmit files.  Any suggestions?  Or, is there a better approach which I haven't thought of?

We did try setting up a scheduled task but it didn't work either.

Thanks in advance,

Linn

Hello Members,

Is there a way to find out if a service is deleted?

I don't think its difficult, may be i a missing the right audit settings.

Any help in this regards would be great.

PS.Installing a new service is 'audited' perfectly and the usual start/stop and StartMode changes.

Thanks for your time.

Exchange takes 1 to 5 seconds to send an email

Hello there.

We had a newsletter sending from our Ms Exchange 2010 server. We had a script that sent 80 emails every 2 minutes. A month ago, without any change to the server or to the script, the emails could not be sent. Through the monitoring tools, we saw that the server takes 1 to 5 seconds to send an email each time. Is this a normal behaviour or is this something that must concern us? How can i search for a solution and how can i learn what happened all of a sudden that caused the issue? 

Thank you in advanced,

Kind regards,

Virtual Server SMTP in IIS 6 on Windows Server 2012 R2 does not detect my installed certificate

November 23, 2016, 5:04 am

I correctly bought a SSL certificate for my domain www.omniservice2.it from Aruba Business on my server with Windows Server 2012 R2. The certificate was issued by RapidSSL SHA256 CA.

I correctly installed the certificate in IIS 8 on every site and web application and in fact each of them is correctly reachable from https.

Now, I need to set up the same for my SMTP server in IIS 6. The SMTP works fine with Basic Authentication but obviously I want the credentials to be encrypted. So, I activated the flag "Requires TLS Encryption" in Tab Access under its properties.

Moreover, in the root console I did the following to check that the certificate was installed inside the Personal directory:

File --> Add/Remove snap-in --> Select Certificates --> Computer account --> Local computer --> OK Under Console Root I see Certificates (Local Computer) --> Personal --> Certificate into which there is correctly the RapidSSL SHA256 CA I bought with the correct expiration date.

The problem is that in section "Secure Communication" I still read "TLS is not available without a certificate" Where also am I supposed to install that certificate so that IIS 6 detects it?

I have read many threads here about this problem but I cannot get rid of it!

Hello.

I use Windows Server 2008 R2 and when I apply a quota on specific folders then it can't show me a correct size. For example, I have 1TB free space but it show me I just have 2GB free space. I search in Internet and some people write good articles about it. For example, Remove quota and add it again and after it my problem solved but I want to know can I use other way for solve it? I mean is that never remove Quota and apply it again.

Windows Server - offline (i.e. no Internet Access for Security reasons) - How can I ensure server gets latest Trusted Root CAs with the new Microsoft Trusted Root Certificate Program

November 23, 2016, 10:32 am
$

I recently dealt with an issue that ended up being caused by a missing root certificate in the root certificate store on one of my servers. There was a delay introduced as the server tried to poll externally (to the akami CDN in fact) that was getting dropped as it presumably was trying to download the missing root certificate. This caused delays (15 seconds) for certain calls.

I was under the impression that the root certificate store was updated via Windows updates and there was no need to have Internet access to allow the automatic updating of this store (WUS server could control this say).


Looking into recent changes it appears this may not be the case anymore, for example:
- https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc751157.aspx


>"Starting with the release of Windows Vista, root certificates are updated on Windows automatically. When a user visits a secure Web site (by using HTTPS SSL), reads a secure email (S/MIME), or downloads an ActiveX control that is signed (code signing) and encounters a new root certificate, the Windows certificate chain verification software checks the appropriate Microsoft Update location for the root certificate. If it finds it, it downloads it to the system. To the user, the experience is seamless. The user does not see any security dialog boxes or warnings. The download happens automatically, behind the scenes."


Are root certificate updates provided by Windows Updates or is there now a requirement to allow all servers Internet Access to Microsoft to download certificates automatically?


What is the current best practice to ensure server root certificate stores are up to date for servers with no direct outgoing Internet access?


There also appears to be a setting that prevents these external lookups being made - I imagine this is advisable to enable for offline servers - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749331(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_Controlling - to avoid unnecessary delays etc.?

No Network Connection After Reboot - Need to Disable, Enable NIC to Regain Connectivity

November 24, 2016, 4:47 am

Hi all,

got a dell server at a data centre which recently had a new RAID card installed on it. The datacentre techs didn't do a great job and the server is now complaining that the RAID firmware is out of date. Not a major issue....however, ever since they installed the card we've been finding that every time we reboot the server, the network connection is dead (can't ping anything else on the network, get to the default gateway etc). The quick fix is to disable the NIC (Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit) and then enable it. Once this is done everything springs back into life.

We've got a batch file in place to automate this disable/enable but this isn't a fix, more of a stop-gap. What we want to nail down is why the NIC needs to be disabled/enabled before it starts working. Has anyone got any suggestions on how we can trouble shoot this issue? We've been picking through event viewer but it's not much help. I'm struggling to see how installing a RAID card and the related sofwtare could be interferring with the NIC at bootup but it seems odd that it started happening immediately after.

Any suggestions on possible causes or good places to start investigatin would be much appreciated!

Thanks

KMS Client activation - the count reported by your KMS is insufficient

November 11, 2016, 2:42 am
$

Hello,

I'm having problems with activation of Windows 10 Enterprise. I have one KMS Host and 5 Clients. When trying to activate a client, I get the following error:

I configured the KMS host as follows:
- I opened up an elevated command prompt
- I installed the KMS key by running the command: slmgr /ipk <key>
- I activated windows by running: slmgr /ato
- I opened port 1688 in Windows Firewall (I enabled the two existing rules)
- I restarted the Software Licensing Service with: net stop sppsvc && net start sppsvc
- Windows was successfully activated

The, on the rest of the computers I configured the Clients like this:
- I uninstalled the existing KMS key with: slmgr - upk (see the end of this message for details)
- I installed the KMS Client Setup Key: slmgr -ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
- Then I manually assigned a KMS host to the KMS Client: slmgr /skms 192.168.1.25:1688
- Finally, I tried activating the Client with slmgr /ato which returns the error seen above.

Running slmgr /dli on the host gives me the following

Current count is 5, which is correct (I set up 5 computers/hosts). As soon as I configured a new KMS client, the current count increased, which is good. Total requests received also increases every time I try activating a client, which means that the host is receiving the activation requests.

I read somewhere that you're supposed to have at least 5 computers/clients in order for KMS to work. I have 5 clients but they still can't be activated. The error 'count reported by your KMS is insufficient' appears on all 5 clients.

If it's of any importance: I installed a fresh retail version of Windows 10 Enterprise on all computers (the host and 5 clients). All computers are in a domain, but I haven't made any DNS configurations. Auto-discovery is disabled on clients (it disables automatically when you manually assign a KMS host).

One more thing: at first, all the computers were basically activated as hosts. Because I didn't know how the KMS works, I installed the KMS host key on all the computers. All of them activated without problem. Then, when I tried to activate the 7th computer, I couldn't do it anymore. Further investigation gave me information about a max of 6 KMS hosts. That's when I went into detailed research on how to set-up KMS clients. Only one KMS host exists now. On the other 5 computers I uninstalled the KMS host product key and installed the client key. Still - activation not successful on the clients.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Office 2013 KMS run on Server 2012 R2.

Currently the Server itself is a KMS client. So I want to convert it to KMS server for Windows activation and seize the OLD KMS (OS).

When check Add Roles, VAS shown as installed, probably because Office KMS package was run.

Now, for making the server a KMS (OS) host should I just replace GVLK key by KMS server key or I need to uninstall VAS and then Install it back with activation and rerun Office KMS package? By the way I need to replace Office 2013 KMS key.

I asked it in a previous post, but typing now I feel that may be to reinstall VAS in appropriate order will be a better idea.

Please advise...

Thanks.
