Comment on Forefront and DFS don’t play nice by Mark H

I spent the better part of 4 days trying to resolve very similar issues. We just upgraded to FEP 2010 and pushed out the newer clients. Anyone who accessed their user directory and edited Word or Excel docs would get disconnected from the DFS location and files would become corrupt. I tried many exclusions and combinations of settings until I stumbled upon the “Use Behavior Monitoring” checkbox. When I cleared this, the problem completely vanished. The TechNet writeup is lacking at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff823842.aspx and I only found that because I discovered the issue first.

Instead of your solution, though I got inspired, I just set service to “Automatic (Delayed Start)” and NOT “Automatic” as it is default.

That helped much the event id 7022

Comment on SANS GSEC – thoughts and studying for the 401 exam by John

Hi Chris

I am going to be doing the 401 course in Sydney in a couple of weeks, and I was just wondering how much course material we will receive, as i was just going to take along a small backpack, ie the sort they give out at TechEd, plus a laptop bag.

But in th email I received from SANS they advise to bring along a small roller bag, but the only type I have is a mid-sized one used when travelling.

Thanks

John

HAHAHA I will take all free food and beverages!!

I am sure by the end of my 2 day ordeal I will be curled up in the corner of Rob Lee’s class rocking back and forth, a pat on the head is probably the best outcome I can hope for.

In terms of the GSE, I can’t wait! I am really excited!!

Thanks for all the help and encouragement on the lead up Chris .. I’m bound to let you down Actually, this reminds me of the OSCP days, I was a mess at the end fo that exam, and will probably be the same at the end of this one! Expect random phone calls at all hours fo the night!

Hi,

I’ve passed the OSCP exam recently, and I really want to thank you for your greatest OSCP exam encouragement post you have here. I read lots of exam reviews before I took the exam, but no one talked about the way you did. Its 100% unique

Thanks again Chris, and wish you good luck on your InfoSec career.
