...Windows Authentication on Microsoft SQL Server Introduction Microsoft SQL Server offers two types of security authentication: SQL Server authentication and Windows authentication. SQL Server authentication authenticates the user to the database using a database user name and password. Windows authentication is also referred to as "Windows Integrated Security" or a "trusted connection" because it relies on the user being authenticated, or “trusted,” by the operating system. Windows authentication is the authentication mode recommended by Microsoft. Windows authentication takes advantage of Windows user security and account mechanisms. By allowing Microsoft SQL Server to share the user name and password used for Windows, users with a valid Windows account can log into Microsoft SQL Server without supplying a user name and password. In addition to a single login within a Windows domain, Windows authentication provides a more secure mechanism for logging into Microsoft SQL Server. Standard Windows security mechanisms also provide the added advantages of auditing, password aging, minimum password length, and account lockout after multiple invalid login requests. The DataDirect Connect® for JDBC® SQL Server driver is the only JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server that provides two methods for supporting Windows authentication, a Pure Java (Type 4) implementation and a Windows-specific (Type 2) implementation. The Windows-specific implementation requires minimal configuration to enable...

With these practices the view on patch management has evolved as well. Just a few years ago the common mentality regarding patches was to install and forget. Many systems were deployed and left to their own, few were ever updated. With the rise of worms and malicious code such mentality is no longer accepted. With the new threat levels comes a new focus on patch management. In today’s network environment different methods of deploying and managing patches exist. Networks are unique, like fingerprints, most often no two are identical, and for this reason patch management has to be just as unique. Two of the most common methods of patch management are application based and script based.

...information that links a computer's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to its assigned IP address(es). While DHCP provides a powerful mechanism for automatically configuring client IP addresses, until recently DHCP did not notify the DNS service to update the DNS records on the client; specifically, updating the client name to an IP address, and IP address to name mappings maintained by a DNS server. Without a way for DHCP to interact with DNS, the information maintained by DNS for a DHCP client may be incorrect. For example, a client may acquire its IP address from a DHCP server, but the DNS records would not reflect the IP address acquired nor provide a mapping from the new IP address to the computer name (FQDN). In Windows 2000, DHCP servers and clients can register with DNS to provide this update service if the DNS server supports DNS with dynamic updates. The Windows 2000 DNS service supports dynamic updates. A Windows 2000 DHCP server can register with a DNS server and update pointer and address (A) resource records on behalf of its DHCP-enabled clients using the DNS dynamic update protocol. The ability to register both A and PTR type records lets a DHCP server act as a proxy for clients using Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 for the purpose of DNS registration. DHCP servers can differentiate between Windows 2000 and other clients. An additional DHCP option code (option code 81) enables the return of a client's FQDN to the DHCP server. If implemented, the DHCP server...

...Securing Windows XP By Johnise Felder Professor Dawn Smith CMIT 364 Windows XP operating system sets new standards for optimal performance and system reliability. Whether you are a network administrator or just an end-user you can expect to get the most from this system due to its dependable computing and efficient uses. Windows XP operating system was built on Windows NT/2000 technology, which was proven to be more stable than previous operating systems such as 95, 98 or Me (Millennium Edition). Windows XP has a much brighter look and better GUI (graphical user interface) technology. This operating system automatically keeps your PC up to date with the latest security enhancements such as windows firewall that helps to protect your computer from viruses and worms that are spread throughout the Internet. Windows XP also allows quicker access to wireless networks from your laptop and with the built-in Encrypting File System (EFS), found only in Windows XP Professional this provides an additional level of file protection from hackers and data theft by encrypting files with a randomly generated encryption key based cryptographic scheme that encrypts all files in a folder. Users with itinerant profiles can use the same key with trusted remote systems. EFS have some key features that it offers such as, transparent encryption, strong protection of encryption keys, integral data-recovery system and secure temporary and paging files.

Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and PCI Express (PCIe) are the most common expansion busses on today’s motherboards. Audio Modem Riser (AMR) was phased out years ago, and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) has been succeeded by PCIe x16 expansion bus slots, although you will still see some AGP devices in the field. 2. B. Standard PCI has a 32-bit data path, allowing it to send 32 bits of data simultaneously across the bus. USB sends only 1 bit at a time (serially) and does not work with adapter cards. PCIe is much faster than PCI and behaves in a serial fashion. ISA is an older legacy bus architecture that sends data at 16 bits max. 3. A. While on the job site, limit phone calls to emergencies or if your employer calls you about another customer. 4. C. If it is not life threatening, consult the MSDS to determine the proper first aid (if any). 5. C. 1/8” TRS jacks (also known as mini-jacks) are the most common for speaker connections. Parallel ports are normally used for printers or scanners. VGA is a type of video port. The...
