Looking For An Affordable, but 'MilSpec' Vulnerability Scanner?

Sunbelt's Network Security Inspector is based on the vulnerability
database that is used by many three-letter U.S. Govt agencies. This
is a top-of-the line scanner, with a great interface and clear
instructions how to solve the problems. Best thing is that it is
licensed per Admin, and not by IP. That means it's AFFORDABLE,
and you get high quality security scans. You should really check
out SNSI. See below how many new holes are being scanned for, and
then check out the price per admin. This scanner is a steal:

Sunbelt's Island In Second Life I have been busy creating a 'Sunbelt Island' in Second Life for the last couple of months. It's done now, and to prevent traffic jams, you will get individual invites over the next few weeks. That way you can check out Sunbelt's virtual buildings to start with, and get yourself familiar with Second Life. The main building in Second Life is a close copy of our original in Tampa Bay, Florida. We are going to have regular events in Second Life, like lectures, product training, parties and other ideas -you- might come up with. It's also a place where you can hang out with other 'Sunbelters' in the gathering area and talk about anything you want. I see it as an -addition- to our existing forums, not a replacement. You will hear more about Second Life later! You can go to our website, click on 'About' and you can find a page that describes Sunbelt in SL. Webcast: Preview Of CounterSpy Enterprise V2.0 Alex Eckelberry and Greg Kras will be giving a preview of our new CounterSpy Enterprise 2.0 next Tuesday. The new features are too many to mention, but one thing stands out: it includes our new VIPRE malware engine! If you want to take a look, please join us: A First Look at CounterSpy Enterprise 2.0 When: Tuesday, April 3, 2007 2:00 PM (EDT) To join the day of the event please visit: http://www.wservernews.com/070402-CSE-Webcast Meeting ID: 92SSQC Attendee Meeting Key: XRmw9Z Audio: Toll free: +1 (800) 416-4956 Toll: +1 (978) 964-0050 Participant code: 104764 Quote Of The Week* "Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning." -- Benjamin Franklin

Vista Very Slow To Copy Files Slashdot Post: "Bruce Schneier has said that trying to make digital files uncopyable is like trying to make water not wet. With Vista, Microsoft seems to have done a pretty good job of making premium content files not copyable. Now a few readers have tipped us to a new wrinkle: Vista also makes it very, very slow to copy, rename, or delete ordinary files. Here is a Microsoft TechNet thread on the problem. The Reg reports that Microsoft has a hotfix for what sounds like a subset of the more general problem complained about on TechNet; but they will only give it to customers who ask nicely. And a hotfix is fussier to install than a proper patch. http://www.wservernews.com/070402-Vista-Slow http://www.wservernews.com/070402-KB In Vista, Drive Mappings Not Preserved Across Admin & User Apps Admins will often create a drive mapping to a deeply-nested directory in current use through the SUBST command. In Vista, when the user tries to elevate privileges on a process and then access the material in the folder through the share, they can't. It's not a bug. In this tip learn why. http://www.wservernews.com/070402-Drive-Mappings Tip: Paravirtualization Explained In this tip, SearchServerVirtualization.com contributor Ronald McCarty explains exactly how paravirtualization stacks up against full virtualization, complete with advice on when to use it and product considerations.

(registration required) http://www.wservernews.com/070402-Disaster-Recovery-Plan Revived DSI Initiative Promises To Unify Systems Management IT managers at the Microsoft Management Summit say they are encouraged by the company's pledge to finally move beyond tools that manage only Windows platforms. Microsoft said it is revitalizing its dormant Dynamic Systems Initiative in an effort to lay the groundwork for a more unified systems management terrain that IT managers will find easier to navigate. http://www.wservernews.com/070402-DSI-Initiative Podcast: Windows Vista - Inside UAC User Account Control (UAC) is one of Windows Vista's new security features. In this podcast, security expert Serdar Yegulalp shares his experiences -- the good ones and the bad -- working with UAC. http://www.wservernews.com/070402-UAC What to expect in Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 Slated for release sometime in the second half of 2007, Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 promises to expand on Exchange 2007's Outlook Web Access capabilities, extend the Exchange Management Console and improve Standby Continuous Replication.

DST2007, Microsoft and Dollars This is a letter that was sent to me by Bill Prehl, Dir of IT at K12 Systems. A very interesting observation about the recent Daylight Savings Time issue. "Hi Stu, I'm finally recovering from the mini-Y2K. The school district I work for has been running an NT4/Exch5X domain since 1998. The plan was to address the upgrade with a cautious approach. Essentially the district is a Netware shop and probably should look at Groupwise and there were plans to look at the options. But, DST2007 and Microsoft's authoritative hammer made the decision for us in less than 5 days. After calling Microsoft to see if they would sell us a patch for Exch55 it took two calls to confirm they would not sell it to us. Meaning, they had it but they would not release it unless we were currently in a customer support agreement (which we were not). Mind you, we had been purchasing client licenses as more and more users were put into the email system. The first call reported that the cost would be $4000.00 for the patch. Hurrah!! We thought we were in the clear of doing a full-blown upgrade. Nope, made a confirmation call to get the ordering information and was told to upgrade. Exch2k7 was not an option - too new and required 64-bit hardware. But, we could still get Exch2k3. As a school district we spent about $12,000 on hardware and software (including AV and backup software). That cost didn't include the insane hours I worked to upgrade the domain to AD2k3 then do a swing migration of Exch55 to Exch2k3 AND THEN do the DST patching and calendar updates. I truly had about 1 week to prepare for the upgrade plus we had to expedite a new server from HP. Today, I still shake my head in amazement that something huge didn't bring down this house of cards during the upgrade. Over 800 accounts/mailboxes had to be preserved but I have to admit that it is mostly a simple Exchange environment: No public folder use, one site, one server, already had user's with quota limits so no huge mailboxes, and no other use of the domain - email system only. But still, the instructions Microsoft provided were very good. It took 36+ working hours to the entire migration to the point where we could let the users back on. I truly can say I haven't done that kind of mental gymnastics in a long time in such a short period. It was like cramming for a test but this one I had to ace the first time. And that leaves me with the last piece to this DST crisis. After it was all said and done, we only had 20 out of 800+ that had ANY recurring appointments in their calendar! In addition, every user is required to use the OWA unless they are staff (Principal or Secretary) who use Outlook. So, moving them without any training time from Exch55 OWA to Exch2k3 OWA - yeah, stop laughing. I'd say it was 80% of the people were happy to see a better interface but the other 20% was louder. So, that's my DST2007 story. My true belief is Microsoft knew about this from 2005. I agree with people who said that there should not have been a cost for the patch for Exchange 2000 (I talked to several IT guys who were supporting Exch2k and had to pay $4000 for the patch) that Exchange 2000 WAS in mainstream support in 2005 when the legislation was passed. Microsoft conveniently waited until Jan 30, 2007 to release the HOW TO information on doing the updates to the OSes and other products. Notice Vista and Exch2k7 did not require any patching? I'm sure that was programmed in early on in the development - not in August of 2006. A lot of people are blaming the US Government for making this crisis. I'm blaming the software companies who are writing clumsy software. Microsoft was the only vendor we had any issues with. Novell and Sun had their patches done and released in 2006. It's so obvious Microsoft put the screws to those who didn't stay current. Novell event released a patch that went back to Netware 4.1 - for free! I hope you enjoyed the story. Have a great weekend. Communications Server 2007 Goes Public With grateful acknowledgments to Paul Robichaux, Exchange Editor at WindowsITPro. On March 26, Microsoft announced the release of the public beta of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, the latest version of Microsoft's real-time communications platform. Communications Server 2007 includes great improvements in the presence and IM features over what Live Communications Server 2005 offered, plus some major new chunks of functionality that help make Communications Server 2007 a key part of Microsoft's unified communications strategy. The business value of real-time communications is obvious to anyone who's even casually used commercial IM systems. However, Communications Server 2007 is much more than basic text IM. Live Communications Server 2005 offered text IM along with voice and video conferencing, but Communications Server 2007, in conjunction with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, can do a lot more. Let's start with IM because that's a common business requirement. Not only can you do two-person and multiparty text IM, but you can also log your conversations to a Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 folder. You can take notes during a conversation and send them directly to Microsoft Office OneNote 2007; this is a terrific feature because it lets you preserve the context of the conversation and keep searchable, indexed notes (complete with audio, digital ink, and all the other data types that OneNote 2007 supports). Communications Server 2007 supports single and multiparty voice and video, too, provided you have compatible audio and video hardware on your laptops.

Webcast: The Big Picture in Disaster Recovery

WEBCAST Tying Together Virtualization, Replication and WAN Acceleration for Better Business Continuity. Date: April 25th, 2007.
Time: 11:00am EST - 12:00pm EST

Speakers:
Bob Roudebush, Director of Solutions Engineering, Double-Take Software Jeff Aaron, Director of Product Marketing, Silver Peak Systems, Inc. Parag Patel, Senior Director of Storage Ecosystem Alliances, VMware.

Most enterprises have well defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) as part of their business continuity plans. However, it is often quite difficult to meet these objectives. For example, while 83% of enterprises have a goal of complete backup/replication in less than 5 hours, only 40% are actually achieving this goal. These problems are only getting worse due to an enormous increase in the volume of data that is being protected and an increase in geographic distances between data centers as enterprises look to protect themselves from catastrophic disasters, such as a hurricane or terrorist attack.

Enterprises are barraged by different technologies that help solve their disaster recovery challenges, such as virtualization, data replication, and WAN acceleration. Because these technologies span a variety of IT segments (i.e. servers, storage, and network infrastructure), they might appear to be disjoint on the surface. However, they are quite complimentary to one another, and can easily be combined to create an effective end-to-end disaster recovery solution.

In this discussion, industry experts from VMware, Double-Take Software, and Silver Peak discuss how to "put the pieces together" for an effective disaster recovery plan. They discuss new trends in data protection technology that span all areas of IT, citing specific examples of how real-world customers have put combined DR solutions into practice for improved business continuity.
