Disabling the Windows Firewall

This document describes three methods for turning off the Windows Firewall. The first method is for any user with administrative privileges on an individual machine not remotely or collectively managed in any way. The other two methods are for use only by IT administrators on managed systems.
Note that you still need some kind of firewall protection, so don't disable the Windows Firewall unless you have the Symantec Firewall from BevoWare or other appropriate firewall software installed.

Disabling the Firewall Using the Control Panel

This method is for any user with administrative access to unmanaged systems such as: home, RESNET, and campus unmanaged system, and self-managed.

1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select Windows Firewall.
2. Select Off, then click Ok.

Disabling the Firewall Using Local Policy

This method is for IT administrators with administrative access to unmanaged systems or locally managed systems where the machine is not part of a Windows 2000 or higher domain.

1. From the Start menu, select Run, then enter gpedit.msc.
2. Expand the Computer Configuration folder, then the Administrative Templates folder.
3. Expand the Network folder, then the Network Connections folder, then the Windows Firewall folder.
4. Select the Standard Profile folder.
5. Double-click the Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections option.
6. Select Disabled, then click OK.
7. Select the Domain Profile folder.
8. Double-click the Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections option.
9. Select Disabled, then click OK.
10. Close the Group Policy dialog box.

Disabling the Firewall Using Group Policy

This method is for IT administrators with administrative access to UT-managed machines that are part of a Windows 2000 or 2003 Active Directory domain.

1. Create a new Group Policy object, and give the object a descriptive name (for example, ITS-Turn off Windows Firewall).
2. Select the newly created group policy.
3. Right-click on the newly created policy and select Edit.
4. Expand the Computer Configuration folder, then the Administrative Templates folder.
5. Expand the Network folder, then the Network Connections folder, then the Windows Firewall folder.
6. Select the Standard Profile folder.
7. Double-click the Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections option.
8. Select Disabled, then click OK.
9. Select the Domain Profile folder.
10. Double-click the Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections option.
11. Select Disabled, then click OK.
12. Close the Group Policy dialog box.
13. In the Security Filter section, click Add.
14. Search for the objects that this group policy will be applied to, then click OK.
15. Close the Group Policy editor.

Oleansoft Hidden Camera 250x1

Monitor and record everything your employees do!

How to know that your employees do «right» things?
What if they are looking for adult pictures or chatting with numerous friends instead of preparing urgent documents or writing an important code?
What if they sometimes send confidential materials to your competitors?
Or, what if some novices can't use internal software in a proper way?
Would you like to control all computers remotely?
Would you like to see your office or rooms via web cameras?
Would you like to hear that your employees say?
Would you like to send messages to single employee or group of employees?

The solution is: Oleansoft Hidden Camera 250x1

More than 700 companies from 35 countries use the Hidden Camera 250x1 software now!

All you need is to install the «manager» part on your computer and the «employee» part on each computer you want to monitor. After this, you will be able to control all the computer screens and office through webcams in real time and off-line modes. The program can capture either entire desktops or only active applications (up to 250 employees per each manager station !!!). You can record voice via microphones and then play any mp3 audio file anytime.

Screenshots are captured smartly in case of any screen changes, and excluding screensavers. All screenshots / snapshots are saved and you can view («play») them at any time. For example, at the end of a working day or when any productivity problems occur.

The off-line work time counter allows to see all statistic information about work time of any employee.

Hidden Camera has «split screen» mode, when you can view all monitored computers simultaneously. Besides, it works inside almost any modern network, even through proxy. There is a very good feature which provides extremely fast installation of the program from the command line.

Remote control

You view the remote computer's screen on your own monitor, all your mouse movements and keyboard signals are transferred directly to the remote computer. You work on the remote computer just as if it were right there in front of you. You have complete, unlimited control of the remote computer so you can launch applications, work on documents, transfer files, even shut it down. Of course, that is provided you are the system administrator or have been granted these permissions by the system administrator.

Command Line Hack for: "Terminal Server Has Exceeded the Maximum Number of Allowed Connections"

If you’ve worked on a network with Windows servers, you’ve encountered this error message at least 37,000 times:
“The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections. The system can not log you on. The system has reached its licensed logon limit. Please try again later.”
This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks it is active.
The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. (If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions)

To use the command line hacks, you might need to run them from another server if your local operating system doesn’t include the commands. You will also need to make sure that you are logged onto that server with an administrative account. The easiest way to do that is just map a drive (you don’t have to use a drive letter unless you choose to)

net use /user:[username] \\servername\share

Here’s a command line hack that you can use to figure out what sessions are connected to the server. Note that you could substitute the IP address for the server name.

query session /server:servername

Sample output:

Now we know that the session ID of the offending session is 2. We can use that in the next step, which is using the reset command to log off that user.

reset session [ID] /server:servername

Sample:

This command won’t display any output, but when we run the query command again, we should see that the session has now been disconnected:

The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections

When a user tries to connect to a machine using Remote Desktop connection, they might come across this error message.
“The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections“

This is because Windows Server only allows two connections through RDP, and you’ve either got two people already logged on to that machine, or you’ve got disconnected sessions that still thinks they are active. If a user simply closes the remote desktop window when they’re finished, that user will still remain logged on, unless there is a time out configured in Terminal Services Configuration as follows

Terminal Services Configuration

If the Session time out is not configured, or the logged on users are not available, you wont be able to logon to the machine. To overcome this limitation, follow the steps as below.
open a command prompt or type in the RUN prompt
mstsc /v:[00.00.00.00/SERVERNAME] /f -console
eg: mstsc /v:192.168.1.10 /f -console
mstsc /v:ADSURF /f -console
This will connect to the physical console session on the server (also known as “session zero”). You will then be prompted with the login box and provide the administrator details. Then you will be connected to the Console Session on the server. Now you can reset the disconnected user sessions from Terminal Services Manager. Please note that if you get disconnected from this console session, you will  have to go physically to the machine.
More info on mstsc at Technet
UPDATE:
If you have Windows Vista with SP1 or Server 2008, use the following syntax:
mstsc /admin
If you use the old switch “/console”, it will just ignore that and proceed connecting. In Windows Server 2008, the /console switch doesn’t exist anymore because “session 0″ is a non-interactive session that is reserved for services. Difference between admin and console swtich are here.
Another workaround:
You can also query the sessions on the remote machine as an administrator of that machine. Open a command prompt as a domain administrator that the remote machine is set to or map a drive of that remote machine.
Then in the command prompt, type as below:
query session /server:servername
Replace servername with the remote machine name or IP address.

Now we have the information of all the users/sessions that are active/disconnected on the remote machine. We can now reset one of the session with the following command.
reset session [ID] /server:servername
Replace [ID] with the number from the prevoius output and servername with the remote machine name or IP address. This will reset the session and now you can login using Remote Desktop connection.

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

如果你的電腦沒裝光碟機、或者你用的筆記型電腦是沒內建光碟機的機種，可卻想重灌系統成Windows 7的話，該怎樣才能讓電腦透過USB隨身碟來安裝Windows 7系統呢？
幾個月前微軟推出了一個名為「Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool」 的小工具，可以幫我們將Windows 7系統的光碟ISO檔燒錄到DVD光碟或轉製成USB可開機隨身碟，讓我們可以從微軟網站下載Win7 ISO檔後能自行選用光碟機或USB隨身碟來安裝系統。對於沒內建光碟機的小筆電來說，也多了個重灌電腦的解決方法，重點是透過速度較快的USB隨身碟或 記憶卡來安裝Windows 7的話，速度比一般光碟機快很多唷！

以下的軟體可將Windows 7作業系統燒錄成DVD開機光碟或做成USB開機隨身碟、記憶卡，如果你要做成USB開機隨身碟的話，請準備至少3GB以上容量的隨身碟。另外，如果要用 USB隨身碟來開機、安裝作業系統的話，電腦的主機板必須是比較新的規格才會有USB外接設備的開機選項，請先確定BIOS裡面或開機選單裡面有USB設 備可選，太舊的電腦可能就不支援USB外接設備開機功能，只能用光碟機開機囉。
雖然這軟體相當簡單好用，不過之前卻傳出微軟的這個小工具可能取用某GPL授權的程式原始碼而被檢舉，目前微軟已經將該軟體的下載點與網頁都撤掉了，說是等調查完成後才會再釋出，不過我們還是可以從其他網友保留的程式下載來用用。

使用方法：

第1步  首先，我們必須將Windows 7安裝光碟製作成一個.iso格式的光碟映像檔，如果你是從微軟網站下載來的iso檔的話可以直接用，如果是買來的光碟則可利用下面的軟體來將光碟內容做成ISO檔：



第2步  接著將Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool軟體下載回來並安裝好之後，開啟軟體主程式，先按「Browse」按鈕選取你製作好的ISO檔，再按一下「Next」。

 
第3步  此時，我們可以選擇要做成USB開機隨身碟或DVD安裝光碟，請按一下「USB device」按鈕，選擇將Windows 7安裝光碟的內容轉移到USB隨身碟中。

 
第4步  接著，會出現一個視窗讓我們點選USB隨身碟或記憶卡的位置，選好之後再按一下「Begin copying」按鈕，開始複製檔案。

 
第5步  接著就是等....。

 
第6步  完成後，我們就可以用USB隨身碟來開機、安裝Windows 7囉！製作好Windows 7系統安裝USB碟之後，如果你要重灌電腦的話，可以先讓電腦重開機再用下面方法調整BIOS設定值，或從開機時的啟動選單點選USB外接裝置來安裝系統。

如何設定BIOS開機順序，讓電腦用「光碟片」或「USB隨身碟」開機？
