Windows SteadyState 2.5 for Genuine Windows Users

What is Windows Steady State? The scenario: you are an administrator for an Internet Cafe or an Internet Bar. Computers are used by many people, to avoid virus and untrusted user can change your files. Maybe you know a software named Deep Freeze to resolve these problems. Also, Microsoft has a software that have the same functions, it is Windows Steady State. When Windows Steady State installed and turned on in your computer, you can restore previous state by restarting computer. H'm, is it great software? And specially it is fully free to genuine Windows XP and Windows Vista user. Unfortunately, Windows Steady State doesn't support Windows 7, I hope the next version will be. Before Windows Steady State can be installed, you are required to validate that your computer is running genuine Microsoft Windows. Windows SteadyState includes the following features to help you manage your shared computers:

  • Getting Started – Provides the initial steps to help you during your first time use of Windows SteadyState.
  • Windows Disk Protection – Help protect the Windows partition, which contains the Windows operating system and other programs, from being modified without administrator approval.Windows SteadyState allows you to set Windows Disk Protection to remove all changes upon restart, to remove changes at a certain date and time, or to not remove changes at all. If you choose to use Windows Disk Protection to remove changes, any changes made by shared users when they are logged on to the computer are removed when the computer is restarted
  • User Restrictions and Settings – The user restrictions and settings can help to enhance and simplify the user experience. Restrict user access to programs, settings, Start menu items, and options in Windows. You can also lock shared user accounts to prevent changes from being retained from one session to the next.
  • User Account Manager – Create and delete user accounts. You can use Windows SteadyState to create user accounts on alternative drives that will retain user data and settings even when Windows Disk Protection is turned on. You can also import and export user settings from one computer to another—saving valuable time and resources.
  • Computer Restrictions – Control security settings, privacy settings, and more, such as preventing users from creating and storing folders in drive C and from opening Microsoft Office documents from Internet Explorer®.
  • Schedule Software Updates – Update your shared computer with the latest software and security updates when it is convenient for you and your shared users.

Using Windows 7 up to 120 days with full functionality

Similar Windows Vista, Windows 7 allow Windows 7 user extend 30 days trial with full functionality up to 3 times or 120 days.

Microsoft provides 3 times of available ‘rearm’ count, as part of tool for system administrator to reset and restore activation state of Windows 7 to factory state during initial OOB (out of box) grace period. So, by using the ‘rearm’ hack, user can reset and extend the activation grace period (aka evaluation trial period) for up to 3 times, effectively running Windows 7 without product key without activation for up to 120 days, or 4 months. The trick is, the rearm hack must be done only when the 30 days trial period or activation grace period is about to expire.

‘Rearm’ trick on Windows 7 is done using the similar commands and steps with Windows Vista. Follow these steps to reset and extend activation grace period from 30 days to 120 days in Windows 7:

1. Install Windows 7 without any product activation key.
2. After installation is completed, use the Windows 7 for 30 days and wait for the remaining days left to activate Windows counting down to 0, or almost zero.
3. When the activation grace period (or evaluation trial period) is almost expired or ended, log on to Windows 7 desktop, and open a Command Prompt window (i.e. type Cmd in Start Search and hit Enter).
4. Type any of the following commands into the command prompt, and then hit Enter:

sysprep /generalize

slmgr.vbs –rearm

rundll32 slc.dll,SLReArmWindows

slmgr /rearm
5. Reboot Windows 7 to enjoy another 30 days of free usage without worrying about activation nor even need to crack Windows 7.
6. When the activation grace period countdown timer almost running down to 0 again, repeat the ‘rearm’ trick to enjoy another 30 days of Windows 7 for free. User can run the rearm command for maximum of 3 times.

As rearm only works for 3 times, make sure the command is only been run when the 30 days countdown of evaluation period is almost expired.

Create and Attack a Virtual Hard Disk in Windows 7

In Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, you can create and attack a virtual hard disk to the computer as physical hard disk. It is true, today i will show you how to do it.

STEP 1: You must know that Virtual Hard Disk create only on a boot partition, in many case boot partition is C: driver. I create a virtual hard disk in my computer that installed Windows 7, also you can create it in Windows Recovery mode when you choose boot from Windows 7 DVD. The difference between two methods is when you boot from Windows 7 DVD, you must press Shift + F10
or boot into the Command Prompt from the Start Recovery Options screen (see screenshot below)

STEP 2: You type Diskpart in command prompt and press Enter.

To create a VHD file, you have two options. First, create a fixed VHD file that allocate the entire maximum size that you set for the VHD file (command below allocate 20GB for the VHD file):

create vdisk file=C:\Windows7.vhd maximum=20480
Second, create a Expandable VHD file that store only as large as the amount of data that is saved in the VHD file. by execute the following command:
create vdisk file=C:\Windows7.vhd maximum=20480 type=expandable
STEP 3: To attack a VHD file to your computer, you must select this vdisk and attack it by execute these commands:
select vdisk file=C:\Windows7.vhd
attack vdisk
STEP4: Verify
Now, you can insert a Windows media, maybe Windows 7 DVD to install it, you have a new disk. It is the VHD file that you have created.

Finally, you can download this video to more detail (this video is created by Keith Combs): Download here.

Disable Cut, Paste, Copy, Delete, Renaming Files and Folders with Prevent

You probably worry about your important personal data that could be accidentally deleted or renamed when your computer is being used by your kids or some third parties. If you are looking for any solution which can prevent data from being messed up or lost due to delete or rename action, then Prevent will be able to help you on this.

Prevent is a freeware and it is designed to disable cut, paste, copy, delete and rename functionality in your computer. As mentioned earlier, the main objective is to prevent anybody from deleting, renaming or messing around your data. Once you have run the installer, it will create a Prevent folder under system Program Files folder which contains Prevent.exe, Pre_1.exe, Pre_2.exe, Read Me First.txt, Uninstall.ini and Uninstall.exe. To run the program, you need execute Prevent.exe and it will display a window for you to define a hotkey. This hotkey is used to stop Prevent process and click Activate button once you have defined the hotkey. As soon as this program is activated, it will run at background silently and functions like cut, paste, delete and rename will be disabled regardless if they are initiated from keyboard button (Ctrl C, Ctrl X, Ctrl V, Delete), from right click context menu or under Edit menu. On top of this, it also takes the consideration to prevent data loss caused by terminating program without saving. As such, End Process button at Task Manager is disabled as well so that it doesn’t allow you to right click on process name and click on end process. To restore the setting, just use the hotkey you have defined earlier to stop the process.

Prevent ver 1.0 is absolutely free to download and it works well on Windows 2000/2003/2008/XP/Vista/7.

Basic Switch Configuration


In semester 3 of the CCNA course. You will learn about Switching. I have learned chapter 2 in this semester and today i post this lab "Basic Switch Configuration" that i learned in my CM-Group. Lab is show in figure below.








As you can see in the figure: IP address, network segment, 2 VLAN on 2 Switch. Here is requirement:
1. Configure IP address for 2 interfaces on ROUTER with IP address in the figure.
2. Configure basic secure on 2 Switch: enable Telnet, Console port, password Switch, turn off domain lookup.
3. Configure interface Vlan1 on 2 Switch.
4. Configure Port-Security
- On Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3 of Switch S1: enable port-security, configure sticky mode with maximum 2 mac-address, violation is shutdown.
- On Fa0/4, Fa0/5, Fa0/6 of Switch S2: enable port-security, configure port-security map mac-address of each PC that attached into S2, violation is restric.
5. After verify everything which configured. You must copy running-config to startup-config and copy running-config to TFTP server.
Here is my instruction to configre port-security:
In S1:
Go to interface Fa0/1, other interfaces is similar:

S1#switchport mode access //allow access to this port
S1#switchport port-security //enable port-security
S1#switchport port-security maximum 2 //set maximum of 2 mac-address
S1#switchport port-security mac-address sticky //enable port-security with sticky mode
S1#switchport port-security violation shutdown //shutdown this port if have a third mac-address is pluged

In S2:
Go to interface Fa0/4, other interfaces is similar:
S2#switchport mode access
S2#switchport port-security
S2#switchport port-security mac-address type MAC Address of PC04
S2#switchport port-security violation restric

To verify port-security uses this command in EXE mode: show port-security interface fa0/1

Any comments are welcome!

Download System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 – Evaluation


Overview

System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 (VMM) is a comprehensive management solution for the virtualized data center. It enables increased physical server utilization, centralized management of virtual machine infrastructure, and rapid provisioning of new virtual machines by the administrator, delegated administrator, and authorized end users.

VMM 2008 R2 can manage all the platforms managed by VMM 2008 and adds support for Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008 R2 includes significant feature improvements to Hyper-V. VMM 2008 R2 leverages these new platform enhancements and extends the feature set of VMM 2008.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Host Management
  • VMM 2008 R2 creates and manages virtual machines running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V hosts. When you add a host that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 that does not have Hyper-V enabled, VMM 2008 R2 automatically enables the Hyper-V role on the host.
  • VMM 2008 R2 supports the following new features of Windows Server 2008 R2:
    • Live migration between Windows Server 2008 R2 clustered hosts. With live migration, you can migrate a virtual machine from one node of a Windows Server 2008 R2 failover cluster to another node in the same cluster without any downtime. Because the virtual machine does not experience any downtime, the move is completely transparent to the users that are connected to the virtual machine.
    • Network optimization detection during virtual machine placement. VMM 2008 R2 supports both Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) and TCP Chimney, which are Windows Server 2008 R2 features that improve network performance for virtual machines.
    • Network adapters that support the VMQ feature are able to create a unique network queue for each virtual network adapter and then connect that queue directly to the virtual machine’s memory. This connection routes packets directly from the hypervisor to the virtual machine, bypassing much of the processing in the virtualization stack.
    • Network adapters that support the TCP Chimney feature are able to offload the processing of network traffic from the networking stack. Both of these features increase network performance and reduce CPU utilization.
    • Hot addition and removal of virtual hard disks (VHDs). In Windows Server 2008 R2, Hyper-V allows users to add and remove VHDs from a virtual machine while it is running.

Feature Bullet Summary:
  • Live migration
  • Clustered Shared Volume (CSV) support that enables multiple Highly Available Virtual Machines (HAVM) per LUN.
  • Hot add of storage
  • Support for VMware vSphere 4 (VMware VI3 feature parity only)
  • SAN Migration into and out of clustered hosts
  • Processor flexibility
  • Network optimization
  • Quick storage migration
  • Maintenance mode for hosts
  • Support for third party cluster file system, Sanbolic Melio FS
  • Support for third party storage class resource, Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows
  • Expanded support for iSCSI SANs
  • Support for VMware port groups for virtual switches
  • Support for Virtual Machine permissions assigned in Hyper-V
  • Dynamic policy based load balancing

System Requirements

  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2008 Datacenter; Windows Server 2008 Enterprise; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Server 2008 Standard
Review Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 system requirements (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=110906) and supported configurations (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=128909).

You see OSIRIS Router appear as DR because i configure begin with OSIRIS Router. To know why you can view previous post
Determining DR and BDR in OSPF Router .To change DR and BDR you can shutdown lo0 interface on OSIRIS Router and return by no shutdown command. Next you execute the command clear ip ospf process on any Router.
You can verify authentication in OSPF by execute the command show ip ospf interface

Determining DR and BDR in OSPF Router

In OSPF Routing protocols, Shortest Path First Algorithm (SPF) is used to determine DR and BDR in OSPF Router. When link-state of a Router on the area change. The Router will be send this change (LSA packet) to multicast address 224.0.0.5 (DR and BDR will receive this information). Then DR in the area will flood this change to multicast address 224.0.0.6 to all other routers (DRother). This will help decrease bandwidth in the area which cause is LSA packet. DR and BDR is determined when Routers exchange Hello Packet. DR and BDR is determined by the following steps:

1. Router that have the heighest priority will become DR and the second is BDR. The following command can configure this parameter in the interface mode:
ip ospf priority
2. In multiaccess environments, all routers is connected together by fastethernet interface. By default, the value of Priority of the Routers is equal. In this case, OSPF Router determine the heighest Router ID of any routers as DR and the second as BDR.
To verify DR and BDR, you can execute the following command in EXEC mode:
show ip ospf neighbor
Note: When DR and BDR is defined, the Router do not automatically change DR and BDR regardless the current DR and BDR have lowest Priority or Router ID of value. You can change manually by execute the command in EXEC mode:
clear ip ospf process
type yes to comfirm
I hope these information are help you clearly understand DR and BDR in OSPF Router. Any question is welcome.


How to determine Router ID on Cisco Routers that running OSPF routing

Have threes factors to determine Router ID in OSPF router
1. You can configure manually the Router ID by following command in Router Mode:
router-id A.B.C.D
example: router-id 1.1.1.1
2. If you do not configure manually the Router ID. OSPF Router will determine the Router ID by chosen the heighest IP Address of logical interfaces (loopback interfaces).
3. If haven't any logical interfaces. OSPF Router will chose the heighest IP address of any physical interfaces

Advanced Password Cisco Router Configuration

To secure your router, you need configurable the password on your router. The password must be difficultly to guess. On Cisco Router, you can configure the password for line console, vty (telnet service) and password to access to EXEC mode. In turn, I will show you how to configure the password for three mode as mentioned above.

1. Console port for login local to the Router, the terminator must be attached directly to Router through this console port. To configure password for console port, you must execute the following command in Configuration mode
line console 0
password cisco
login

Password is cisco
2. Line VTY is responsible for enable the Telnet service on the Router. Execute the following command in Configuration mode
line vty 0 4
password cisco
login

To indicate specially the username and password for each user to telnet to the Router, you can configure a username and a password. To do this, execute the follwing command in Configuration Mode:
username thaolv password 0 thaolv
line vty 0 4
login local
exit

After this, you can telnet to this Rotuer by provide your username and password that configured. Here is the username: thaolv and password: thaolv
3. Enabling password for EXEC mode, you must execute the following command in Configuration mode:
enable secret cisco
By default, Password for the EXEC mode is encrypted in MD5 algorithm, Password for the line VTY and the line Console is not encrypted, but you can configure to encrypt these password by following command in Configuration mode:
service password-encryption
Now, your password for the line VTY and the line Console is encrypted in MD7 algorithm. Verify this by execute the following command in EXEC mode:

Flying Without Wings

This song make me happy when i don't know what to do or when i am alone. I always sing this song to make me better. This song really is good song, hearing and feeling thank Westlife


"Flying Without Wings"

[Shane:]
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

[Mark:]
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

[Shane:]
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

[Mark:]
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

[Shane:]
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends

[Mark:]
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

Task 2: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses.
Step 1:
R1(config)#interface Fa0/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.17 255.255.255.240
R1(config-if)#no shut

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
R1(config-if)#interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.252
R1(config-if)#no shut

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down
R1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
R1(config-if)#bandwidth 64
R1(config-if)#interface s0/0/1
R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.5 255.255.255.252
R1(config-if)#no shut

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/1, changed state to down
R1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
R1(config-if)#bandwidth 256
Step 2: Verify IP addressing and interfaces
R1#show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

FastEthernet0/0 172.16.1.17 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES manual administratively down down

Serial0/0/0 192.168.10.1 YES manual down down

Serial0/0/1 192.168.10.5 YES manual down down

Vlan1 unassigned YES manual administratively down down
The status of the S0/0/0 and S0/0/1 are down because it is up when there is a signal impact to it.
Step 3 and 4: You can manual configuring, i don't show here
Task 3: Configure OSPF on the R1 Router
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#network 172.16.1.17 255.255.255.240 area 0

Using SYSPREP.EXE to Change SID in Windows Server 2008 and Vista

I use VMware Workstration to create Virtual machines. Installing operating system for Virtual Machine is boring. I often clone virtual machine. This make virtual machines have same SID that these VMs do not have ability join domain. In previous version of Windows, we can use NewSID tool. This tool can not use in Windows Server 2008 and later. A new tool become candidate is "SYSPREP.EXE" included in Windows Server 2008 that we can use it by type sysprep in RUN dialog, SYSPREP Preparation Tool appear. If you want to create a new SID, remember to CHECK the “Generalize” checkbox

During the following reboot a new SID is automatically generated - and you will have to type in your Product/License Key, provide a new Computer Name, select an Administrator Password etc.
