    Fix Active Directory broken security inheritance problem

    Ran into a situation at a client location where in Active Directory, the security permissions applied to an OU were not getting inherited permissions on to the objects. Basically, security inheritance was broken.This causes a problem when the administrative accounts or groups needing to modify an attribute on the AD object throw errors, or are unable to edit the AD object.

    To find out which objects were not getting the inherited permissions run the following :

    I ran it on the entire domain to identity potential problem accounts. 🙂

    To fix the issue:

  • All of Windows Cipher Suites

    All of Windows Cipher Suites

    Working on a security project and I needed a reference guide as to what cipher suites are supported on what OS.

    So I have documented a list of the default cipher suites and their preferred order for every Windows Server version. These were gathered from fully patched operating systems.

    [su_note note_color=”#efacad”]These are the server defaults for reference only. I do not recommend using the default cipher suites or the order listed.[/su_note]

  • Windows: Hide Internet Explorer 11 address bar & navigation bar

    Windows: Hide Internet Explorer 11 address bar & navigation bar

    Applies to:

    Windows Server 2008R2, Windows Server 2012R2, Windows 10

    There are two ways this can be accomplished depending on your needs for the controlled environment.

    GPO:

    I would like to first clarify that there is not a single GPO to just hide TABS in IE11. There is however a way you can enforce IE in Full View Mode which by default will remove the TABS and Address bar via a GPO.

    The GPO  you can use to enforce the Full-Screen view is available on both Computer and User configuration policy. Below is the gpo location path in group policy editor console.

    • GPO NAME: Enforce full-screen mode
    • LOCATION: Computer or User configuration – Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer
    • KEY LOCATION: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions

    SCREENSHOT: GPO CONSOLE

    2352.GPO-LOCATION

    WINDOWS REGISTRY:

    This will cause the IE address bar to not show. I disabled the Navigation bars too so it gives a clean window experience.

    SCREENSHOT: REGISTRY LOCATION WITH VALUES

    1172.GPO-REGISTRY-LOCATION

    Download the Registry file.

    The GPO and keys will cause the browser to open in full view with no address bar or tabs

    7536.FULL-VIEW-AFTER-GPO

  • DNS broken after Windows Update KB3145126

    I noticed the DNS broke on my servers after Windows Update.

    The problem was KB3145126. Read more about it here.

    After a quick removal and reboot, DNS was operational again.

    To remove/uninstall KB3145126, open powershell and run the following:

    wusa.exe /uninstall /KB:3145126

    Hope this helps.
