iphonogasm

sweet as its been about an hour now and still nothing :(

Just a quick thought and question I have generated this CSR for my certificate, however i didnt specify who it was going to ie. cheepssls.com Is this like DNS proporgation where its global? Thanks!

I thought this would be the case, how do i edit domain policies Sorry for basic question, but im guessing its no longer in gpedit.msc :) Thanks!

Thanks, also, can users not on the domain still access shares? also when trying to add a user, i keep getting a password policy error, using capitals, letters and numbers? Thanks!

CSR created, just waiting for verification now ;)

Thanks, just purchased and here where im stuck on the site activating it. Note: If an SSL certificate is being issued for an IDN (Internationalized Domain Name), a "common name" field of a CSR must be a punycode of the domain (also known as ASCII compatible encoding, or ACE) e.g. xn--aussergewhnliches-7zb.com. Including common name in native characters will result in an error. www.domain.com vs. domain.com: For RapidSSL certificate when the SSL certificate is bought for www.example.com, it secures both www.example.com & example.com. If RapidSSL is purchased for example.com it secures only example.com. Please make sure you use correct common name in your CSR. I entered my domain www.megahosting.co.nz and it gives me a error too short! I get this error Error Unable to parse CSR. Error from service provider. More Info:Error Details: -1001: Unable to decode CSR data. Key size may be too large. Thanks!

Thanks for this help guys! This will be useful. Im getting 1 in about 2 hours for 2 years. Should i go with namecheap then? 1 more thing, how to insert? Just IIS management, Server Certificates then Import? cause it asks for the Certificate "file" maybe they issue a download of the certificate when purchased? Thanks!

Thanks that clears that up!! I have a few other small issues after installing and configuring AD - i am unable to remotely RDP into the server now from a seperate public ip. I am getting an authentication problem and is saying that the username/password is incorrect. However i can access it from the local network with the same credentials. - When connected to the Domain, i can RDP into the server on the local network but ONLY using computer name. It no longer works with IP (192.168.2.200) and appears to be the oppisite when not connected to the domain - and lastly, after creating and configuring AD, my Administrator accound has changed. Different desktop, different settings etc. i had saved downloads paused in an app and need to resume them but when i log in to the app they are gone, i have 3x Administrator accounts in the Users folder Thanks

Thanks for your reply, Judging by reviews, the look very good. So i might just go ahead and get myself a SSL certificate and then i have SSL for my website and MAIL. :) Thanks!

i got it working. Removed the RD web access role, deleted all websites related to it restarted, reinstalled the role and still was no website. Confused, so i created a new site. Firstly, it doesnt create a "new" site, it add the directorys as "Applications" to the existing Default Site. Which leads me to a quick off topic question, what determines a site to be the "Default Site" ? In this case it was my MegaHosting site and had created the Applications/VirtualDirectoys RPC, RDWeb etc. Before i knew all this, i was creating the website RDWebApp, and pointing it to C:/Windows. Thus leading to issues because the folder name in Web is actually "RDWeb" Renamed the website to RDWeb (probably more the path), converted the RDWeb Directory to an application all is go. A bit confusing.... But yea,any ideas what determines a website to be the Default Website, and anyway to change this?? Thanks for all your help as usual !! :)

There is no properties... [ATTACH]188.IPB[/ATTACH]

sure here you go:) [ATTACH]187.IPB[/ATTACH] Thanks!

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a SSL certificate, for my website, mailserver and to familiarise myself with using and deploying SSL I have a few questions - i have found a company offering SSL certificates for just $5/yr. whats the benefits/downfall of getting a cheap certificate. Obviously using mainly for myself and learning i dont want spend 200+ - Can i use a single SSL certificate for Mail, HTTP etc, or are these all specific to the service i want to apply ssl? Thanks

There appear to be no application assigned!

What u mean, i cannot see where application pool is pointing for some reason? Its like it cant find the resources! Thanks! this is annoying im despirate! heres the code of default.aspx void goToFolder(string getLangVal) { Response.Redirect(getLangVal + "/Default.aspx" + Request.Url.Query,true); } void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { string langCode = null; System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture; // For each request initialize the culture values with // the user language as specified by the browser. if (Request.UserLanguages != null) { for (int i = 0; i < Request.UserLanguages.Length; i++) { string strLanguage = Request.UserLanguages; // Note that the languages other than the first are in // the format of // ";" (e.g., "en-us;q=0.5") if (strLanguage.IndexOf(';') >= 0) { strLanguage = strLanguage.Substring(0, strLanguage.IndexOf(';')); } try { culture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(strLanguage); // Make sure that the directory is present string physicalPath = Server.MapPath(culture.Name + "/" + "default.aspx"); if ((physicalPath.Length != 0) && (System.IO.File.Exists(physicalPath))) { langCode = culture.Name; break; } } catch (Exception) { // Some cultures are not supported and will cause an // exception to throw. In this case, // we ignore the exception and try the next culture // based on client language preference. // Note that if no culture can be set properly, then // the default culture will be used. } } } if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(langCode)) { // Default to Installed language culture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture; // But first make sure that the directory is present string physicalPath = Server.MapPath(culture.Name + "/" + "default.aspx"); if ((physicalPath.Length != 0) && (System.IO.File.Exists(physicalPath))) { langCode = culture.Name; } else { try { // In some cases we have to use common culture parents to determine where to redirect // We gather up the hierarchies of the ui culture and of installed language cultures // comparing their hierarchies until we find some sort of match physicalPath = Server.MapPath("."); System.IO.DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(physicalPath); System.IO.DirectoryInfo[] cultureDirectories = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*-*"); langCode = ""; while(culture != culture.Parent && culture.Parent != null) { culture = culture.Parent; foreach(System.IO.DirectoryInfo cultureDir in cultureDirectories) { System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cultureDir.Name); while(ci != ci.Parent && ci.Parent != null) { ci = ci.Parent; if(ci.Name == culture.Name) { langCode = cultureDir.Name; break; } } } if(langCode != "") break; } } catch(Exception) { // See above about cultures and exceptions, in this case we fallback to en-us } } // fallback to english if all else fails physicalPath = Server.MapPath(langCode + "/" + "default.aspx"); if ((physicalPath.Length == 0) || !(System.IO.File.Exists(physicalPath))) { langCode = "en-us"; } } goToFolder(langCode); return; } In application settings in IIS i have RDWebAccessConfigPath and DefaultCentralPublishingPort Thanks!

i cannot open an aspx file it downloads it....

I have done this..all folders and files etc exist from what i can tell. I have pages/default.aspx for example

Thanks but im getting the same error without the "/" Thanks! Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /RDWeb/Pages/default.aspx

Im really sorry about this. Have no idea how that happened. ;) I got it working, however i had to create a new domain, so instead of promoting my DC to my existing TLD megahosting.co.nz, i had to make it megahosting.local i understand this is better for security reasons as .local is not routable. Just woundering why it would not add to my existing .co.nz domain (dynamic updates enabled) Maybe you could just quickly explain to me the main points of a Domain. Why have a domain in a network? What does it do/restrict? Thanks again!!

No program as such, im just trying to OPEN the port Does it require something to be listenning on that port before it will open?? I have simply created a entry in windows firewall for inbound rules, public, profile and domain. And chosen option "Port" Entered the port and chosen the protocol TCP. Then check to see if the ports open.... Thanks

Hi,im trying to deploy the Site in IIS for RDWebApp for application sharing. When adding the website in IIS, i am receiving the following errors. I am using the correct binding etc and all Application Pools exist etc. Thanks! Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

So heres the thing, I have created the SRV record. Service = _ldap Protocol= _tcp Port = 3389 Host offering the server = computer name domain = megahosting.co.nz I have a ZONE megahosting.co.nz with A records proporgated for my domain to the internet. Do i need to create a domain for this zone? Im getting the same error There appears to be a firewall entry (automatically added) for this port Thanks again!

Im positive it not openning.. I have just open PORT 50000, public, domain and private. I check it here, ping.eu - port checker megahosting.co.nz port 50000 Thanks man!

Ok yes, but i should still be able to open these ports right? I will try 50000 now.... The reason i ask about blocking port scans is, i just tried a scan on a local hosting company domain and it timed out... as where i can scan my domain... Thanks again! UPDADTE: 50000 still wont open. Restarted and all??

Hi, this is my very first time deploying and configuring AD. I am setting up a Domain Controller at home, for a very small network (testing and knowledge ;) ) I have crated the domain and have a DNS zone for my domain I had the DNS zone prior to setting up the DC, it was just propogating DNS records, A, MX mail etc etc for my domain. So i went ahead and installed the DC role using dcpromo, all seemed to go well, however, i am unable to connect to the DC. I am - on the same network - the DC is my DNS server - I have a static IP - The adapter is setup to update DNS records. - The DC/DNS server is not the DHCP server I am getting the error Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt. The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "megahosting.co.nz": The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.megahosting.co.nz Common causes of this error include the following: - The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses: 192.168.2.200 - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone: megahosting.co.nz co.nz nz . (the root zone) Thanks guys!!
