A certificate was explicitly revoked by its issuer

0

Hi Guys,

I have a file client.msi. The properties > Digital signature Tab says that the certificate is explicitly revoked by its issuer.

Seems the file is not trusted on one single machine whereas on other machines, it says the certificate is ok.

What went wrong and why the certificate is revoked?

Can somebody shed some light on this as its much appreciated?





Decommissioning an Old Certification Authority with out taking it down

Hi,

I want to bring New Root CA and Subordinate Enterprise issuing CA in AD domain without shutting down the old CA infrastructure.   As per my research there is no technical limitation from Microsoft to have two Root CA in AD forest or Domain.  My goal is to bring new Enterprise CA online and revoke certificates on old Enterprise CA one by one.  AIA and CRL is LDAP so on old server. Also I would like to have different CA Name and host name on New Root CA and Enterprise issuing CA.  Following steps  will not work for me. Please google search not able to post the link. "Decommissioning an Old Certification Authority without affecting Previously Issued Certificates and then Switching Operations to a New One" by Amerk [MSFT] Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Unable to block a URL in ATP Safe Links if it contains an exclamation mark

Hi, we were recently at the wrong end of a phishing attack campaign that contained a link which included an exclamation mark. The link pointed to a shared file hosted on OneDrive (1drv.ms/<blah>) with the external shared file then containing a link to another external site which hosted a fake Office365 login page. The problem was with the link to OneDrive that was in the original phishing email that contained a '!'. When I tried to add this link to the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Safe Links organisational block list I received an error "Invalid URL format" when I clicked save. After some quick tests I found that ATP doesn't accept the URL to be blocked if it contains an exclamation, even through an exclamation is deemed to be valid URL character.

This needs to be updated as admins are currently unable to use ATP Safe Links to block any URL containing an exclamation.

Thanks

A lot of file/folder auditing events on folders, without any auditing settings enabled

$

In our environment, we have enabled domain-wide file and folder auditing, but have selected only a few folders on needed servers (file servers etc.).

However a few of our servers are logging a lot of file events (4656,4658,4663) on folders without any security auditing enabled on the folders.. Currently ~2 million events are logged since yesterday (non-fileserver)

This is a 2012R2 server in a 2012R2 level Forest/domain - DC's are running server 2016



Anyone else have this problem ?

Changing the account used by WinRm (Windows Remote Management)

$

I am in the process of setting up Windows Event Forwarding, the push method. An IRS policy states I can only allow access to the security log via the administrators group.

WinRm is a big part of Windows Event Forwarding, and uses the Network Service account by default. I also cannot add the Network Service account to the local Administrators group, per security policy.

I have created a service account to comply with both security policies, but I have two questions:

1. Does changing the account WinRM uses, create issues elsewhere? Such as services failing to start or dependencies lost for other services.

2. What is the best way to change the account for the WinRM service accross the whole domain? (startup script?)

Thanks,

How to sort IPSec deny IP filter lists

$

0
I've been using windows server 2003's ipsec ip filter lists to block attacks against my servers.  I have utilties that scan the server log files and then use "ipsec static add filter filterlist=...blah-blah-blah"  to block the attackers before they have had chances to do much.  This has worked great over the years but now I'm trying to go back and clean up some of these lists(which are 3-4 thousand entries long). 

The easiest way is to go down a line of ip addresses and if I've gotten enough unique addresses in a net block and they aren't an area that might be a potential customer to block the whole subnet.  I've brought up mmc and loaded in the ipsec monitor and from there I'm able to sort under quick mode and quickly see my problem ranges.  Adding the subnet is easy but going back and deleting out the 25-30 individual addresses is next to impossible since from what I can tell, editing an ip filter list doesn't allow you to sort any of the columns, it just appears in the order they where added.  Ever try and find 30 items in a list of 4,000 with no type of sort or find feature?

How does someone maintain a large list of ip filters? (Please no replies of "don't" or "use x product rather than ipsec")

Updated support for Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

Hi

I have Windows 2008R2 installed and there is a need to increase the size of a DH modulus from the current default to 2048.

There is a Microsoft security advisory with instruction how to do this, 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2016/3174644?redirectedfrom=MSDN

but I'm not sure if is will work (if it is applicable) in Windows 2008R2.

I found appropriate KB

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3174644/microsoft-security-advisory-updated-support-for-diffie-hellman-key-exc

but it is not applicable for Win 2008R2.

Maybe someone could help me to find a clue?

Domain Controller KDC Cert Template

$

Hello,

I have a question about ADCS.  I have a cert template that is used to provide DC's a cert that includes Kerberos.  Auto enrollment is configured and working normally, although the DC's require a manual issue to get the cert.  I had to make a change to the template, upping the lifetime of the cert.  Now I want to have one DC get the new cert, as a test that I didn't break something I suppose.  I am looking how to do that.  I know you can select reenroll all certificate holders.  But as I understand that would make it effective for all cert holders.  I would like to force one DC to request a new cert, so I can issue and make sure it gets a new cert based off the cert template changes.  I tried certutil -pulse but I don't think that did anything.  Any suggestions?

Issues configuring NDES

Hi - I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm missing on this NDES install.

I am getting the following error when installing NDES in an environment. Here is the relevant information on the environment:

CAs are installed in the root forest domain

NDES server is installed in the same forest in a child domain (supported according to the technet article "Configure infrastructure to support SCEP with Intune"

Account logged into the machine is an enterprise administrator

The service account is a member of the local administrator group on the NDES server, and has rights to manage CA on the CA.

The error received is:

I'm trying to remove an old enterprise CA using this article

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/889250/how-to-decommission-a-windows-enterprise-certification-authority-and-r

but...

Step 1 is revoke all certificates but the console only loads like 400 at a time.  There are over 50000 and this is not an appropriate way to handle this.  I need either a command to revoke all certificates or a way to load much more into the console view to select all and revoke as described.

Please help!

CEP/CES Certificate templates not available

$

Hello everyone!
I am working in my test environment. I built a tier 2 CA with an Off-line CA, Enterprise CA, and a Web Server the last two on the same VM.
All the domain machines got certificates from Enterprise CA without any issues.
Now I am trying to use EAP-TLS with a non-domain computer using CES/CEP I install the roles on the same Enterprise CA server and use username password for the service. I tried CES service on a Windows 10 machine in a workgroup, and I can get all the certificates available from CA. The issues come when I try to get certificates for a non-Windows device outside the domain. I am working with a Chromebook the response I got from Chromebook is "No enrollment uris available to enroll to." which means no templates available to request a certificate.

There is any way to troubleshoot CES/CEP? Does anyone know if I am missing something?
I appreciate all your help, thanks in advance.

HTTP Methods Security Vulnerabilities

I have posed this question on another Windows Forum with no replies.  I suspect it is the wrong place.  I hope this is the place.

We have recently been informed by our parent company that their Rapid7 Scanner has detected HTTP Options Method and HTTP Delete Method enabled on several of our Windows 2012 servers.  The problem is that none of the servers have IIS installed. 

How do I solve these vulnerabilities without IIS Mgr?
