Received a call yesterday that the users can no longer start a manual virus scan on their workstations. Clicking the Active Scan or Full Scan options on the Scan for Threats dialog produced nothing. No scan, no error, nothing.
All clients are running Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 MR4 and the policies on the SEP server have not been changed. Virus definitions are coming down fine, admin scans are running, it’s just the users can’t start a scan manually.
What caused it?
I’ve had this camera up and running about a year ago. Since then, it’s been powered off and not used. Today I decided to connect it back up and could not get the wireless working. So I did a factory reset by holding the reset button in for 10 seconds and also upgraded the firmware to 1.08. But even after doing that I still couldn’t get the wireless working.
Decided to take a look at Google Desktop and see what it takes to actually create a gadget. Turns out it’s nothing more than Javascript and XML along with the Google API, so I thought I’d start small and just create a gadget that would simply grab the alert status graphic over at http://isc.sans.org.
Looking for a way to allow your users to start and stop specific services? Or maybe a way to prevent a Power User from stopping specific services? In this article I’ll show you how to accomplish both using a Group Policy.
This first thing that you’ll want to do is make sure the service that you want to control is installed on your administrative workstation. If it’s not, then you won’t see the service listed in the GPO.
