Blocking NT Authentication Attempts
I'm using server 2008 standard as a web host. I'm occassionally seeing
a number of failed outside attempts to login to the server w/ false
credentials (hammering). Is there any way to prevent this? Is there a
port I can block to keep people from attempted authentication
(windows)? Maybe a good way to say "after 3 bad auth attempts,
temporarily block IP"?
- Thanks in advance!...

Hello everybody!
We'd like to deploy a VPN with EAP-TLS authentication. Unfortunately,
some of our system are not member in the AD-domain. Now - maybe a stupid

Deployment via MMC doesn't work and the web-based enrollment doesn't
show the opportunity to get a computer certificate either.
The OS on those system in XP S...

We have a very large file server. The entire directory structure has NTFS

accounts no longer exist / cannot be resolved to active directory accounts.
Can anyone tell me if this causes any performance issues with users trying
