• Script for vSwitch change security settings

  Going to start working on this script, but if someone knows, is one year, I'd be interested.  Trying to create a script that changes the vSwitch 'Change of address' security settings and "forged passes" to "Reject" to all on the host's vSwitches.  I would like the script to turn to a CSV with a list of ESX servers, so that the script should authenticate directly on the ESX Server.  Thank you.

  Yes, you need a header row in the CSV file

  Move invites him outside of the loop, something like this

  $rootpassword = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt "Enter the root password"
  
  Import-Csv "C:\esxnames.csv" -UseCulture | %{
      Connect-Viserver $_.Name -user root -password $rootpassword 
  
      $esx = Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Filter @{"Name"=$_.Name}
      $NetworkSystem = Get-View $esx.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
      foreach ($sw in $NetworkSystem.Networkconfig.Vswitch){
          $swspec = $sw.spec
          $swspec.policy.security.AllowPromiscuous=$false        $swspec.policy.security.ForgedTransmits=$false        $swspec.policy.security.MacChanges=$false        $NetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch($sw.name,$swspec)
      }
  
      Disconnect-VIServer -Server $_.Name -Confirm:$false}
  

• vSwitch and Portgroup security settings

  I'm looking for a way to query the security settings ("Promiscuous" Mode, forged passes and changes of MAC) the vSwitches and exchanges. MY PS skills are limited. I can get about this until now especially of patching together various scripts that I found. However at this point, I provide a vSwitch and even when I am able to get this information I don't know what to do after that.

  {Foreach ($VMHost in Get-VMHost)

  Foreach ($vSwitch to ($VMHost |)) Get - VirtualSwitch)) {}

  $hostMoRef = get-VMHost $VMhost | % {Get-view $_.} ID}

  $hostNetwork = $hostMoRef.configManager.networkSystem

  $hostNetworkMoRef = get-views $hostNetwork

  $hostNetworkMoRef.NetworkInfo

  }

  }

  PowerCLI 4.1, you can use the property, Extensiondata get to the managed object.

  To display the list of all your vSwitches and their exchanges, security settings, you can do something like this

  foreach ($VMHost in Get-VMHost){
       foreach($vSwitch in $VMHost.ExtensionData.Config.Network.Vswitch){
            Write-Host $vSwitch.Name
            Write-Host "`tPromiscuous mode:" $vSwitch.Spec.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous
            Write-Host "`tForged transmits:" $vSwitch.Spec.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits
            Write-Host "`tMAC Changes:" $vSwitch.Spec.Policy.Security.MacChanges
            foreach($portgroup in ($VMHost.ExtensionData.Config.Network.Portgroup | where {$_.Vswitch -eq $vSwitch.Key})){
                 Write-Host "`n`t" $portgroup.Spec.Name
                 Write-Host "`t`tPromiscuous mode:" $portgroup.Spec.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous
                 Write-Host "`t`tForged transmits:" $portgroup.Spec.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits
                 Write-Host "`t`tMAC Changes:" $portgroup.Spec.Policy.Security.MacChanges
            }
       }
  }
  

  Note that the a security framework for a portgroup will be empty (= not) when he uses the corresponding inherited vSwitch parameter.

• Security settings do not allow execution of script code in the report.xsl stylesheet

  Hello world

  I can't open a file of XML in Excel 2007 results - even if I added the stylesheet for trusted locations and deleted all the protections.

  Here's what happens:

  1. open the XML results file how I am propmpted for select the report.xsl stylesheet TestStand

  

  2. then gives error: Scripts in this XML document and/or references to other documents are disabled.

  

  3. by clicking OK gives more specific information - namely the security settings don't allow execution of code within this stylesheet script:

  

  But I did the following:

  -The path to the sheethas style was added to the "trusted locations".

  -ActiveX settings are completely enabled for all controls without restrictions

  -Macros settings are enabled for all macros

  -Is trust access to the VBA project object model

  -All data connections are allowed

  How can I activate the execution of script code in the style sheet for the file XML can load?

  Thank you

  Ronnie

  Ronnie-

  Directly from the Article in the Microsoft Knowledge base, please note that do the following changes "may make your computer or your network more vulnerable to attack by malicious software such as viruses." It's always a good idea to make a backup of your registry before editing. This can be done by clicking on file' export.

  In any case, as the article explains, open the registry and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Security. The security file must contain a registry key called XSLSecurityLevel. Mine did not have this registry key and I had to create it (see screenshot below). Double-click the XSLSecurityLevel registry key, type 1 in the data value, and then click OK.

  You should now be able to view the XML from Excel 2007 report. To reset this setting, simply double-click the registry XSLSecurityLevel key, enter 0 in the given value, and then click OK.

  

  I hope this helps!

  Thank you very much for taking the time to read my question and your answer.

I constantly had the message "security settings would allow me to run this file. The information bar, said, "check the internet options for possible conflicks." At the end of the day, I followed several Adobe troubleshooting instructions. I went in confidence and security level sites and I tried to change the setting of medium-high in the Middle, each time the cursor back to medium-high heat. I did several times, then finally managed to download. (I still don't know why, even when the firewall is disabled, I was unable to download previously), I obviously have a lot to learn. It is good to know that there are people out there like yourself, who are willing to help. Thank you.

• BlackBerry App cannot set the security settings to install apps from Amazon

  I have a Blackberry Z10 with the OS 10.2.1. I'm trying to install an app on the app store from Amazon and it gives me this message.

  

  I say keep and it takes me to the screen:

  

  I think that this screen may be assuming that I use an Android phone because there is no 'unknown sources' box in the screen security settings need me to the next.

  

  But I can go in the app Manager and there is a comparable setting for my Blackberry.

  

  However, I already changed this setting to allow applications from other sources.

  

  So what can I do to solve this problem? How can I get the Amazon app store to work on my Blackberry Z10? I bought the phone because I was promised Amazon apps would work. Please help me.

  I fixed this problem myself. I had to track down the origin Amazon appstore app, which has been difficult because Amazon has updated the link so that people are redirected to download Underground when they think they're getting the Appstore. I have nothing against Amazon Underground, but apparently it works well with BB10.

• Page rotation script does not (not allowed error security settings prevent access to this property)

  Hello

  I use a script to rotate each pages in pdf format by clicking on a button. I added a script to rotate the file in the click event of the button turn as a javascript. It works in acrobat, but not in adobe reader. Please see the script

  Start = 0;

  nEnd = this.numPages - 1;

  nRotate = 90;
  Try
  {
  If (this.numPages > 0)
  {
  this.setPageRotations (start, nEnd, nRotate)
  }
  }
  catch (e)
  {
  App.Alert ("processing error:" + e)
  }

  But I get this error in adobe reader not in acrobat. "not authorized error security settings prevent access to this property or method". What is the problem. Please someone tell me.

  OK, so here's what you do:

  -Create a new file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad ++) and paste this code:

  safeExecMenuItem = {app.trustPropagatorFunction (function (code)}

  app.beginPriv ();

  app.execMenuItem (code);

  app.endPriv ();

  });

  mySafeExecMenuItem = {app.trustedFunction (function (code)}

  app.beginPriv ();

  safeExecMenuItem (code);

  app.endPriv ();

  });

  Close the player if it was open and then save this file as "MyScripts.js" and place it in the following directory (this is for Windows):

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts

  If you want it to run as well in format Acrobat place the file also less:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Javascripts

  Now to rotate the page clockwise attach this code to your button (in Acrobat, of course):

  mySafeExecMenuItem ("RotateCW");

  And to turn them counterclockwise, use this code:

  mySafeExecMenuItem ("RotateCCW");

  Open your file in the player and the buttons should turn pages when you click on it...
