View the account service - permissions in vCenter

The security guy asked me to check if the service account for view can have anything least Administrator permissions at the root of the hierarchy of vCenter.

Has anyone tried reducing the rights of the service successfully account?

We will be dedicated hosts (in a dedicated cluster) for VDI so it's just a case of:

1 give the account admin permissions at the folder level inventory (models and virtual computers view) where the VMs will go

2 give the administrative account permissions to the VDI cluster level

?

We do not use composer, which simplifies things a bit.

I'm going to give it a try today, I'd be interested if someone else has done something similar.

Thank you

Chris

  • In the folder of the account administrator permissions

    When checking permissions to the accounts I noticed the hidden administrator account seems to be available in my computer/programs/users. But when I try to open this account, I get a [click to continue for permanent access to this folder]. If this happens verses called to use a password for the account or if you do not allow this type of authorization?

    He also seems to be a recent date, this folder has been created so that I'm not sure that what counts is in fact.

    OK, things are a little clearer. In your initial post that you wrote

    I noticed that the hidden administrator account appears to be available in my computer/programs/users

    What you mean actually was:

    I noticed that the profile folder for the hidden administrator account seems to exist according to C:\Users.

    The answer to your question is simple: this profile folder was created when someone logged in as the administrator account. He remained there until you manually remove the account or the profile folder. It is not security risks either.

  • XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

    The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
    I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
    Thank you

    According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

    The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

    As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

  • The Windows fax service cannot start because there is no such thing as a privilege in the fax service account.

    I'm trying to set up Windows Fax and Scan to store faxes "received" in a folder encrypted (EFS). (I use Windows Vista Business).

    The fax service will not start if it set to log on as a "local system account", but faxes are stored with the certificate of local system and inaccessible to other users.

    To work around this problem, I tried to configure the Fax Service to log on under a specific user account. However, after that and try to re - start the Service I get.

    Error: 1297 as a service privilege is needed to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration.

    One of the services that begins with the "local system account" does not automatically start with a normal user account and if you get the message.  Most of the services are designed to start with the local system account and not a special user account (actually, not on my system using a specific user account for services).  I think that part is OK and you must return it to the local system account (so eliminate the error message and remove that as a problem to solve).

    I think the question may also be a permissions problem in the user access to the fax.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If that is indeed a problem of certificates (and it seems there is a but looks like he takes care of himself with the Wizard), then we must make the certificate available to all users of the system (from where it is now stored) - and I think I saw how to do this in secpol.msc.  Here is some information I found on EFS secpol.msc in the public key policies (you can get it by entering this in the area of research and the antering and then a double click on the program icon that appears) where you would put in place.

    The Encrypting File System (EFS) is an encryption technology of base file used to store the encrypted files on NTFS file system volumes. Encrypted files cannot be used unless the user has access to the keys needed to decrypt the information.

    Encryption is transparent to the user that encrypted the file. This means that you don't have to manually decrypt the encrypted file before that you can use. You can open and edit the file as you normally would. Once you encrypt a file or folder, you work with the encrypted file, or a folder like you do with any other file or folder.

    The use of EFS is similar to using permissions on files and folders. Both methods can be used to restrict access to the data. However, an attacker who gets physical access unauthorized to your encrypted files or folders will be prevented from reading. If the intruder tries to open or copy your encrypted file or folder, he or she receives an access denied message. Permissions on files and folders do not protect against unauthorized physical attacks.

    You encrypt or decrypt a folder or file by setting the property of encryption for files and folders, as you define another attribute such as read-only, compressed, or hidden. If you encrypt a folder, all files and subfolders created in the encrypted folder are automatically encrypted. It is recommended that you encrypt at the folder level.

    You can also encrypt or decrypt a file or folder using the Cipher command.

    When you work with encrypted files and folders, keep in mind the following information:

    • Only the files and folders on NTFS volumes can be encrypted. However, you can use Web distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV), which also works with NTFS, to transfer files in encrypted form.
    • Files or compressed files can also be encrypted. If the user marks a file or folder for encryption, that file or folder will be uncompressed.
    • Encrypted files are decrypted if you copy or move the file to a volume that is not an NTFS volume.
    • Moving files unencrypted in an encrypted folder will automatically cause these files to be encrypted in the new folder. However, the reverse will not automatically decrypt files. The files must be explicitly decrypted.
    • Files marked with the system attribute cannot be encrypted, nor can files in the system root directory structure.
    • Encrypt a file or a folder does not protect against the removal or the list of files or directories. Anyone with the appropriate permissions can delete or list encrypted folders or files. For this reason, the use of EFS in combination with NTFS permissions is recommended.
    • You can encrypt or decrypt files and files located on a remote computer that has been enabled for remote encryption, but, in this version of Windows, the data that is transmitted over the network by this process is not encrypted. Other protocols, such as Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) or Internet Protocol security (IPsec) must be used to encrypt data while they are transmitted over the network. (You can also use WebDAV, as described in the first bullet, to pass the file in encrypted form.)

    EFS policy settings

    You can use Group Policy to configure a number of EFS settings.

    Allow or disallow the EFS

    You can choose to allow or prohibit the use of EFS altogether. If you do not configure the policy settings for EFS, it is OK.

    The EFS options

    If you choose to allow EFS, you can also select a number of options, such as whether to automatically encrypt the Documents folder of the user, to require a smart card for use with EFS, to cache keys created based on a smart card, to enable the encryption of the Windows page file, or to notify users to make the backup copies of their encryption keys.

    EFS certificate

    EFS encryption is based on the pairs of keys associated with certificates. In most managed environments, the certificates are issued by a certification authority (CA) running in the field. Users can automatically be issued a certificate from the CA without manual intervention. EFS settings include a drop-down models of certificates that are available in the field list so that you can specify which certificate template to use for autoenrollment.

    Note
     

    The list includes all the models of certificates, present in the field. An administrator must configure the CA so that certificates can be issued. Some displayed certificates are not available.

    In cases where a certificate cannot be issued by a certification authority, EFS can use a self-signed certificate created on the local computer (there is a section in secpol.msc to create a certificate). You can choose to disable this functionality and specify a default key length.

    while trying to connect to internet, I get the message "connection status: unknown the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process" that you start happens out of the blue. When I run the diagnostic and repair tool it says that Windows cannot resolve the problem, contact admin or your ISP. I know that my internet service works very well. I am currently on an e-machine running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and it connects without problems. My problem is that my most recent top of office (gateway also on Windows Vista Home Premium) receives connection problems. IM connected to the internet (DSL) with the ethernet cable from the Yukon. All the lights are green on the wireless gateway, so I know that the service is very good. Strange thing I noticed, when I go to network status and share and view Gateway desktop computer shows the "Yukon Ethernet controller" as the connection while the e-machine device says Im using "Intel (R) PRO/100VE Network Connection" Im using the same cable (Yukon) and put in place for both computers, so I was wondering what that was all too.

  • I'm unable to start the service for the name of the account to Network Service on Windows Server 2008.

    Original title: name of the account network Service can be resolved correctly on windows French

    I have a service, I want to run under the network service on windows French account. Computer is not in the field, but in the working group.

    Service is installed via install and uses the WinAPI functions to get the name of a valid account of localized, which is the AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK.

    The problem is that service fails with errors in the following event viewer:

    (1) service depends on the Net Logon service which failed to start because of the following error:
    The operation was successful.

    (2) this computer is configured as a member of a workgroup, and not as a member of a domain. It is not necessary to perform the service access network in this configuration.

    However, if I go to the properties of this Service, Log On tab and button Browse... to address the NETWORK SERVICE account, it sticks "Network Service" value in field and function successfully starts. Note that it may not resolve the display name 'AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK'.

    Another thing is that when I put the computer in the domain that manages all the service suddenly starting with 'AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK' account but the system does not transform it in "Network Service" on English windows.

    So is this a bug on a French OS? Is there a solution? How can I get programmatically "converted" version of the account name ('AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK'-> 'Network Service')?

  • Permissions in vCenter AD during the upgrade with SSO

    I have an existing vCenter 4.1 with many existing permissions based on AD users and groups, which is member of a domain that trusts the domain where users and groups reside. As a result, SSO Setup does not add the trusted domain as a Source of identity during installation, only the domain of the server vCenter himself. Nobody knows what will happen to the existing permissions in vCenter during an upgrade? If not, is it possible to connect SSO before vCenter is updated and add the AD domain approved as a source of identity?

    Thank you

    John

    What I've been through, if users/groups defined in 4.1 installation are not in the defined identity sources, they will be deleted (the installation program creates a file deleted_vc_users with a list of these users that you can then view them later) from the database.

    After installing SSO, install the Web Client and use it to manually add your domain (s) and then go back and install the other components.

  • How to view all the accounts e-mail with Thunderbird instead of one?

    When I run Thunderbird, I give myself of one of my email inbox. I currently have two together at the top with Thunderbird. I think that something I did caused Thunderbird show only one. Normally, I'm greeted by a sidebar that allows me to see all of my email accounts and switch between them. Who has disappeared. I tried all sorts of things, and I can't figure out how to get the sidebar back. I know that I have two emails put in place because I continue to receive new messages. The problem is that if there are no new messages, I have no way to view the other my Inbox. Any suggestions?

    After messing around for a bit longer, I found "Restart with disabled modules" in the title of the help, and I thought I'd try that. I got an option that allowed me to restore default toolbars, that still does not solve the problem, but I have now managed to drag the sidebar reappear in when I flew over where it should be. Problem solved, thanks!
