For example, it supports file-based disk imaging to make high-volume deployments quicker, more efficient, and more cost effective . The Windows 7 operating system also provides more robust deployment tools through the Windows Automated Installation Kit 2 .0 (Windows AIK 2 .0), including Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) . This chapter helps you get started with the Windows 7 deployment platform . It in- troduces these tools, describing how they relate to each other and providing you with a basic understanding of why and when to use each tool . The remaining chapters in Part II, “Deployment,” describe in detail the tools introduced in this chapter . The Windows Auto- mated Installation Kit User’s Guide in the Windows AIK 2 .0 also details each tool described in this chapter . Tools Introduction Compared to Windows XP, Windows 7 introduces numerous changes to the technology you use for deployment . Additionally, Windows 7 improves and consolidates many of the tools you used for Windows Vista deployment . The Windows AIK 2 .0 includes most of 85 these tools . Others are built into the operating system . The Windows AIK 2 .0 fully documents all of the tools this chapter describes, including command-line options for using them, how they work on a detailed level, and so on . NOTE The Windows AIK 2.0 is not included in the Windows 7 media. (By comparison, Windows XP has a file called Deploy.cab that includes its deployment tools.) Instead, the Windows AIK 2.0 is a free download from the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads. The following features are new for Windows 7 deployment: n Windows System Image Manager Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) is a tool for creating distribution shares and editing answer files (Unattend .xml) . It exposes all configurable settings in Windows 7; you use it to save customizations in Unattend .xml . The Windows AIK 2 .0 includes the Windows SIM . n Windows Setup Setup for Windows 7 installs the Windows image ( wim). file and uses the new Unattend .xml answer file to automate installation . Unattend .xml replaces the set of answer files used in earlier versions of Windows (Unattend txt,. Sysprep .inf, and so on) . Because image-based setup (IBS) is faster, you can use it in high-volume deployments and for automating image maintenance . Microsoft made numerous improvements to Windows Setup (now called Setup .exe instead of Winnt .exe or Winnt32 .exe), such as a completely graphical user interface, use of a single answer file (Unattend .xml) for configuration, and support for configuration passes (phases) . n Sysprep The System Preparation (Sysprep) tool prepares an installation of Windows 7 for imaging, auditing, and deployment . You use imaging to capture a customized Windows 7 image that you can deploy throughout your organization . You use audit mode to add additional device drivers and applications to a Windows 7 installation and test the integrity of the installation before handing off the computer to the end user . You can also use Sysprep to prepare an image for deployment . When the end user starts Windows 7, Windows Welcome starts . Unlike earlier versions of Windows, Windows 7 includes Sysprep natively—you no longer have to download the current version . n Windows Preinstallation Environment Windows Preinstallation Environment 3 .0 (Windows PE 3 .0) provides operating system features for installing, troubleshooting, and recovering Windows 7 . Windows PE 3 .0 is the latest release of Windows PE based on Windows 7 . With Windows PE, you can start a computer from a network or remov- able media . Windows PE provides the network and other resources necessary to install and troubleshoot Windows 7 . Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT 2010) all use Windows PE to start computers . The Windows AIK 2 .0 includes Windows PE 3 .0 . 86 CHAPter 3 Deployment Platform n Deployment Image Servicing and Management Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a new command-line tool that you can use to service a Windows 7 image or prepare a Windows PE image . DISM consolidates the functionality of the Package Manager (Pkgmgr .exe), PEImg, and Intlcfg tools from Windows Vista . You can use DISM to service packages, device drivers, Windows 7 features, and inter- national settings in Windows 7 images . Additionally, DISM provides rich enumeration features that you can use to determine the contents of Windows 7 images . n ImageX ImageX is a command-line tool that you can use to capture, modify, and ap- ply file-based images for deployment . Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services, System Center Configuration Manager 2007, and MDT 2010 all use ImageX to capture, edit, and deploy Windows 7 images . Windows 7 improves ImageX over Windows Vista by enabling it to mount multiple images simultaneously and support interim saves (you must still service each mounted image individually by using DISM) . Additionally, the Windows 7 version of ImageX has a new architecture for mounting and servicing images that is more robust than in Windows Vista . The Windows AIK 2 .0 includes ImageX . You can also mount images in Windows PE, and Windows 7 includes the device driver inbox . n Windows Imaging Microsoft delivers Windows 7 on product media as a highly compressed Windows Imaging ( wim). file . You can install Windows 7 directly from the Windows 7 media or customize the image for deployment . Windows 7 images are file based, allowing you to edit them nondestructively . You can also store multiple operat- ing system images in a single wim. file . n DiskPart Using DiskPart, you can mount a virtual hard disk ( vhd). file offline and service it just like a Windows image file . n User State Migration Tool You can use the User State Migration Tool 4 .0 (USMT 4 .0) to migrate user settings from the previous operating system to Windows 7 . Preserving user settings helps ensure that users can get back to work quickly after deployment . USMT 4 .0 provides new features that improve its flexibility and performance over USMT 3 .0 . Hard-link migration improves performance in refresh scenarios, offline mi- gration enables you to capture user state from within Windows PE, and the document finder reduces the need for you to create custom migration Extensible Markup Lan- guage (XML) files when capturing all user documents . The Windows AIK 2 .0 includes USMT 4 .0 . Windows 7 Deployment Terminology The following terms are unique to Windows 7 deployment and MDT 2010 . Understanding this terminology will help you better understand the deployment content in this book and the resources it refers to: n Answer file An XML file that scripts the setup experience and installation settings for Windows 7 . The answer file for Windows Setup is usually Unattend .xml or Windows 7 Deployment Terminology CHAPter 3 87 Autounattend .xml . You can use Windows SIM to create and modify this answer file . MDT 2010 builds answer files automatically, which you can customize if necessary . n Catalog file A binary file that contains the state of all the settings and packages in a Windows 7 image . When you use Windows SIM to create a catalog file, it enumer- ates the Windows 7 image for a list of all settings in that image as well as the current list of features and their current states . Because the contents of a Windows 7 image can change over time, it is important that you re-create the catalog file whenever you update an image . n Feature A part of the Windows 7 operating system that specifies the files, resources, and settings for a specific Windows 7 feature or part of a Windows 7 feature . Some features include unattended installation settings, which you can customize by using Windows SIM . n Configuration pass A phase of Windows 7 installation . Windows Setup installs and configures different parts of the operating system in different configuration passes . You can apply Windows 7 unattended installation settings in one or more configuration passes . For more information about configuration passes, see the Windows Automated Installation Kit User’s Guide in the Windows AIK 2 .0 . n Configuration set A file and folder structure that contains files that control the preinstallation process and define customizations for the Windows 7 installation . n Destination computer The computer on which you install Windows 7 during deployment . You can either run Windows Setup on the destination computer or copy a master installation onto a destination computer . The term target computer is also commonly used to refer to this . n Deployment share A folder that contains the source files for Windows products that you install . It may also contain additional device drivers and application files .

  • Introduction to Windows 7
    [Not for Circulation] Introduction to Windows 7 This document provides a basic overview of the new and enhanced features of Windows 7 as well as instructions for how to request an upgrade. Windows 7 at UIS Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. Beginning in the fall of 2010, UIS will upgrade all classroom and lab PCs to Windows 7. Any new PC that is ordered will automatically come installed with Windows 7. To request an upgrade, contact the Technology Support Center (TSC) at 217/206-6000 or [email protected]. The TSC will evaluate your machine to see if it’s capable of running Windows 7. (Your computer needs a dual core processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.) Please note that University licensing does NOT cover distribution of Windows 7 for personally owned computers. However, it is available for a discounted price via the WebStore at http://webstore.illinois.edu. What to Consider Before Upgrading There is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7. Therefore, the TSC will take your computer, save your files, and install Windows 7 on a clean hard drive. Please budget a couple days for this process. In some cases, you may have older devices that will not work with Windows 7. While many vendors are providing and will continue to provide drivers for their hardware, in some cases, printers, scanners, and other devices that are more than 5 years old may have issues running on Windows 7. To check the compatibility of your devices with Windows 7, visit the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

  • Microsoft DNS
    1 a. Domain Name Service (DNS) encompassing Microsoft DNS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Microsoft DNS is the name given to the implementation of domain name system services provided in Microsoft Windows operating systems. Contents [hide] 1 Overview 2 DNS lookup client o 2.1 The effects of running the DNS Client service o 2.2 Differences from other systems 3 Dynamic DNS Update client 4 DNS server o 4.1 Common issues 5 See also 6 References 7 External links [edit] Overview The Domain Name System support in Microsoft Windows NT, and thus its derivatives Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, comprises two clients and a server. Every Microsoft Windows machine has a DNS lookup client, to perform ordinary DNS lookups. Some machines have a Dynamic DNS client, to perform Dynamic DNS Update transactions, registering the machines' names and IP addresses. Some machines run a DNS server, to publish DNS data, to service DNS lookup requests from DNS lookup clients, and to service DNS update requests from DNS update clients. The server software is only supplied with the server versions of Windows. [edit] DNS lookup client Applications perform DNS lookups with the aid of a DLL. They call library functions in the DLL, which in turn handle all communications with DNS servers (over UDP or TCP) and return the final results of the lookup back to the applications. 2 Microsoft's DNS client also has optional support for local caching, in the form of a DNS Client service (also known as DNSCACHE). Before they attempt to directly communicate with DNS servers, the library routines first attempt to make a local IPC connection to the DNS Client service on the machine.

  • ATTACKING RDP How to Eavesdrop on Poorly Secured RDP Connections
    IT SECURITY KNOW-HOW Adrian Vollmer ATTACKING RDP How to Eavesdrop on Poorly Secured RDP Connections March 2017 © SySS GmbH, March 2017 Wohlboldstraße 8, 72072 Tübingen, Germany +49 (0)7071 - 40 78 56-0 [email protected] www.syss.de Vollmer | Attacking RDP 1 Introduction The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used by system administrators everyday to log onto remote Windows machines. Perhaps most commonly, it is used to perform administrative tasks on critical servers such as the domain controller with highly privileged accounts, whose credentials are transmitted via RDP. It is thus vital to use a secure RDP configuration. We at SySS regularly observe that due to misconfigurations, system administrators in an Active Directory environment are routinely presented with (and ignore) certificate warnings like this: Figure 1: An SSL certificate warning If warnings like these are a common occurrence in your environment, you will not be able to recognize a real man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack. This article was written to raise awareness of how important it is to take certificate warnings seriously and how to securely configure your Windows landscape. The intended audience is system administrators, penetration testers and security enthusiasts. While not necessary, it is recommended that you have a firm understanding of the following subjects: – Public key cryptography as well as symmetric cryptography (RSA and RC4) – SSL – x509 certificates – TCP 2 Vollmer | Attacking RDP – Python – Hexadecimal numbers and binary code We will demonstrate how a MitM can sniff your credentials if you aren’t careful. None of this is particularly new – it even has been done before, for example by Cain [2].
