    SSL ver2

    I understand what you are stating, and I can agree to a certain point. However, being a security professional, my goal is to have the most secure space I can. If I remember correctly, 98 could run IE 6, which I believe was SSL v3 compliant, but I get your point. If they are still running 98...

    SSL ver2

    I have looked at several browsers, and the most common browsers all support SSL v3.

    SSL ver2

    Considering that SSL ver3(and TLS) has superseded ver 2, and most browsers are equipped to handle the updated versions, I would say yes, you should disable SSL ver 2.

    Help choosing college program-which would make me most employable?

    I think the first thing you should consider, is why do you want to get into computers? Which course do you think is the one that you want to get into? Which one do you think is more interesting, and you will follow to the end? Don't think of employers needs, think of yourself. If you are not...

    Looking for some information

    Take a look at this: http://www.giac.org/8570/ Pretty much tells you the direction that the government is headed. Once you achieve your CISSP, maintain it, you should be good to go. Personally, I don't agree with CISSP being the "Grand-daddy", as I am more of a technical guy, hands on, in...

    Confused about CompTIA...

    As always CiscoGuy, good info. A star is on it's way!

    Looking for IDS

    As far as IDS's go, I've dealt with ISS RealSecure/Proventia, Niksun NetDetector, McAfee products, Securify, Sourcefire, and Snort (the free product from Sourcefire). Of them all, Snort by far is the easiest to configure, has a lot more signatures (easy to write them too), and it's free! Just...

    CTT+

    CompTIA has a book on their site: https://store.comptia.org/product.aspx?product=CP_CTT_14333 Not that expensive too. Since you already are a member, it should give you that 14% discount.

    Outlook recreating rules

    This may not be on her computer at all. If it is a rule issue, this could very well be the Exchange server that is having this problems. Almost sounds like the Exchange server is not accepting the changes to the user's email account. This also may point out an Exchange database issue. Are any...

    Network+ or Security+??

    CiscoGuy, I second your feelings on this. Newb2IT, Once caveat that I want to throw in there though is that you can test out of some of the MCSA certification requirements by having Security + or A+ and Net + or Server +. This also applies to MCSE. I had gotten my Network + years ago, then...

    Where to begin?

    Why not think about military service? Not only will you get hands on experience, you can also achieve a degree, get valuable leadership experience, life skills, and generally a kick in the pants to experience things many will not. College is not for everyone. Wasn't for me. Found that out...

    A+ easy or hard?

    Beaner2005, What is the issue with using the word "braindump"? That is exactly what actualtests is. Plain and simple.

    How to track inactive AD users?

    acl03, I thought I was the only one collecting Mark's scripts!

    A+ easy or hard?

    Biff, Considering that "actualtests" is a brain dump, I don't think you'll get much help from these forums. As far as difficulty, A+ is designed as a beginner test. Since it is a beginner test, I suggest getting some books, dealing with the newest objectives. If that doesn't sound like...

    Discretionary Access Control

    Find a 95/98/ME box and try to apply DAC. You can't. FAT/FAT32 does not allow you to do so. However, early versions of Unix (OK, Unix has been around a long time) and Linux all were designed with security in mind, so they have had DAC forever (not to mention RBAC and MAC). IMO, Windows didn't...

    Discretionary Access Control

    That's not a protocol. I would more likely call it a security role/model. There really is no protocol in models/roles. That's a system design, not a protocol. What book are you reading? Personally, I felt the best book I had was Sybex's Security +.

    Troubleshooting strange login script problems

    acl03, I believe you are correct. I've seen/used most of Mark's stuff as well, and this sounds familiar. Started looking over at the VBScript forum, and found some of Mark's FAQs that may assist: faq329-5798

    Prevent AD from applying proxy setting to certain workstations

    As always Mark, great advice!

    Discretionary Access Control

    Not to be rude or anything, but this shouldn't even be a conversation for someone who has 18 months experience, like CompTIA advises for the Security + test. Just hope you understand that this studying for the test will only get tougher. Especially the cryptography portion.

    Discretionary Access Control

    DAC is a security model. Yes, in later "security" minded systems, mapping of drives afforded security models, but Pre-NT systems did not. DAC allows users to assign permissions to files/folders. Whether these files/folders are mapped doesn't matter. Also, in earlier systems, you could map a...
