    Hmm, I haven't used Apache under NT/Win2k, but I would assume it runs as a service, yes? If so, and it runs as LocalSystem, simply create a seperate user and edit the service properties to run Apache as that user. Then duplicate, and tell ADO to use trusted.

    Use the OLE DB Provider for SQL server, otherwise no trusted connections are available.

    If you use connection strings (best way, DSNs involve a registry hit when read) it should look like

    Very good questions, actually :). I haven't done ASP in a long, long time, but I recall that there is a mechanism built in that allows you to retrieve login information from a file that isn't publicly available. There's probably other neat hacks to get the info from the registry, too.

    Don't do either. Set a specific password for the user IIS runs as (IUSR_, and IWAM_ if you use out of process), and tell IIS to use those account details. Then duplicate the user name and password on the SQL box, and use Trusted authentication only. No passwords stored anywhere, except the SAM database

    A password prompt at install is not something only Microsoft has decided to not bother with. I recall MySQL not forcing me to set one either. Although it tells me too, it doesn't force it.

    SQL 2k does force you to click a checkbox if you want to leave sa's password blank, and SQL 7 has a nice explanation of why it's bad.

    Simple solution - development boxes go into their own OU, and thus programmers have full admin rights to the development servers, and their own workstations but nothing else.

    However no-one gets rights to uninstall anti-virus software.

    If you really want to be strict, and, as the topic seems to insinuate, that you're writing registry entries, well frankly, the software that you're writing should be using a particular registry tree, which developers can be given access to, usually HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\your company name and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT if you're writing COM objects.

    If you're writting Windows drivers, well then, you need full rights.

    The developers whined when it was implemented until asked to prove how it stopped them working/developing. It didn't. They shut up. They tried the same argument on the SQL DBA saying they all needed SA access, when all SQL requests should go trhough the DBA on their teams.

    Frankly, once you have a standardised development build, exactly what software do you need to install and uninstall every day?

    Well as I'm working on stuff based around the MS DRM platform right now (look just shut up ok?), I was interested to see if it would work. From the comments here it looks like no-one tried it yet.

    Guess what. It doesn't work. At all. I generated a whole bunch of protected files, with varying license rules, and it couldn't work with any of them.

    I've dealt with both Intertrust, Microsoft and Real for DRM solutions for clients.

    Real's protection code is floating around on the net somewhere.

    MS stuff is easy to implement, but using Version 7 licenses, which are more secure, means ruling out playback on the Mac. Also due to weirdness in Mozilla's DOM support, license predelivery (pushing a license from a web page, not when the file is played) doesn't work. Works under IE, and Netscape 4.

    Microsoft warrants that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT will perform substantially in
    accordance with the accompanying materials for a period of ninety (90) days from

    implied warranty or condition, BUT ONLY AS TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE
    PERIOD OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY (NINETY DAYS). AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED
    AFTER THE NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND.

    warranty or condition lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.


    Any supplements or updates to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, including without
    limitation, any (if any) service packs or hot fixes provided to you after the
    expiration of the ninety (90) day Limited Warranty period are not covered by any

    law, even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. The terms of Section 11
    below ("Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other
    Damages") are also incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Some
    states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
    consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
    you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others
    which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

    charge, except that you are responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g.
    cost of shipping the Software Product to Microsoft). This Limited Warranty is
    void if failure of the Software Product has resulted from accident, abuse,
    misapplication, abnormal use or a virus. Any replacement Software Product will
    be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30)
    days, whichever is longer. Outside the United States or Canada, neither these
    remedies nor any product support services offered by Microsoft are available
    without proof of purchase from an authorized international source. To exercise

    les frais d'envoi du Produit à Microsoft). La présente garantie limitée est
    nulle si la défectuosité du Produit est causée par un accident, un usage
    abusif, une mauvaise application, un usage anormal ou un virus. Tout Produit de

    The only real solution is a new protocol which requires you to login with a password in order to send mail. That's going to be hard to force the entire Internet to implement.

    New? What's wrong with SMTP Auth? That's hardly new. Also you're a little inaccurate. Blocking relaying via IP address only stops users outside the network SENDING email via your servers. You can still pick email up.
