Install a GoDaddy SSL Certificate on SBS 2008

Install a GoDaddy SSL Certificate on SBS 2008


In the below example I am installing a GoDaddy SSL Certificate on SBS 2008

Step 1 – The trusted certificate wizard

From the SBS console run the “Add a trusted certificate” wizard

When you get to the information window make sure you enter the correct information. The key field is “Issued To” – this is the website address that you will use to connect to your Small Business Server.

In the example above I have entered remote.mycompany.com. I would recommend you setup a DNS record called remote.whateveryourdomainis.com for your SBS server. The method for creating a DNS record will vary according to your ISP if you are unsure how to do this then I would recommend calling your ISP and asking them.

I recommend copying the above request into a text document and saving it.

Step 2 – Buy Certificate with GoDaddy.com

I recommand GoDaddy SSL certificates as once you have bought them they allow for free rekeys and re-issues. Really useful if you make a mistake or have to re-installed for whatever reason.

Click on the above banner to go to the godaddy website and take advantage of this offer.

You want to purchase a standard SSL certificate for a single domain

Once you have bought this certificate on the godaddy website go to “my products” then “ssl certificates” select use credit and then continue as shown below.

You should then have the option to manage the certificate you have just bought as shown below.

This should launch the godaddy SSL management screen shown below. Select request certificate.

On the next screen you paste in the CSR code generated in step 1.

Click next. On the next screen confirm the details and if you are happy click next.

GoDaddy will now review the request – this may take a few hours. Godaddy use a number of methods of checking ownership of a domain. This first method they will try is sending an email to the email address list on the whois record for that domain. If there is no email address on the whois method then godaddy will send you an email explaining what else you need to do to prove ownership of the domain – usually its to create a specific DNS record or add a string to a webpage on your website. Below is an example of the domain verification email sent to the contact address in the whois record.

Once you have completed the domain verification process the certificate is issued.

Step 3 – Download the certificate

In the godaddy SSL certificate manager, click on your certificate and select download

Select the download type as IIS7 and download.

Unzip the file you have downloaded. There will be 2 files – a .p7b and a .crt file.

Step 4 – Install the Certificate

Go back to the SBS certificate wizard and select next. You will get the below screen

Choose “I have a certificate” and select next. On the next screen select the “browse” button and browse the the .crt file you extracted in step 3.

Click next and you have completed the install.

Step 5 – Test

to test this try to logon to your server from outside you company network. e.g. Open a browser and go to https://whateverdnsnameyouregistered

You should get a screen similar to the below and shouldn’t get any certificate warning messages.

Note the padlock. This indicates that there is an SSL certificate installed on this site.

Mikogo: Cross-Platform Desktop Sharing And Web Conferencing Tool

Mikogo is a freeware, cross-platform desktop sharing tool. Starting with the latest version 4 - released a few days ago -, Mikogo is also available for Linux, in addition to the already existing Windows and Mac clients. There is also a web client but it lacks most of the Mikogo features so it can only be used for viewing.

Mikogo can be used for web conferencing, online meetings, presentations or remote support and comes with built-in file transfer and chat features. It doesn't come with native audio conferencing but it does support it through regular phone calls. For more info, see the Mikogo audio conferencing page.

What's really cool about Mikogo is that multiple participants can join a session and you can easily switch who has the control or which desktop is used for the presentation. There's also a a built-in recording tool so you can easily record your sessions.

Just like in TeamViewer, the connection is made based on a conference number so you don't have to know the IP address of any of the participants. This is an important feature because it makes using Mikogo a lot easier and works even if multiple computers share the same public IP.

Also, since security is important, you'll be glad to know that Mikogo uses 256-bit AES encryption for the desktop client and the Mikogo website uses 128-bit SSL encryption.

The Linux version of Mikogo still needs some work: the remote keyboard combinations feature doesn't work yet and the user interface doesn't integrate too well with the desktop. Also, some features are unfortunately only available for Windows, such as the whiteboard or the option to adjust the speed / quality. But this is the first Linux release so hopefully these features will be available in the Linux client soon.

You're probably wondering about the speed: well, it my test (I've only tested it on Linux!), Mikogo was kind of slow, compared to, let's say TeamViewer. But this may be related to my Internet connection so I can't really give a verdict here. But Mikogo comes with a lot of cool features so you should really give it a try - if you do, let us know how it works for you!

Download Mikogo - to use Mikogo on Linux, download the archive, extract it and double click the "mikogo" executable.

Network Folder Not Available in Browse for Folder Window

Alright, I encountered this problem when installing SQL using Web Developer Express edition and I’m going to have some quick solution to the problem using the command interpreter.

There has been some problem in your user-rights, probably not yet configured in the computer you are connecting to, your Windows 7 network automatically use the IP version 6 configuration and IPv4 has wrong 32-bit integer value.

Go to your run Window (Win+R) and launch the command interpreter (cmd.exe)
Once the tool is open (cmd.exe), use the command
net use {drive} \\{computer name or IP address}\{shared folder}
Here’s an example below where the driver letter is y:, the computer name is vistauser-pc and the shared folder is Q.

Now, you can browse the network folder.

If you can’t still see the folder, you can type the path manually as shown above.

Using BCDEDIT to change and modify Windows Boot Entries

Booting is the so called “bootstrapping” that processes and starts the OS (operating system) when the user turns on the computer. A boot sequence is the initial group of operations that the computer operates.

In Windows Server, 7 and Vista the bootloader file contains the necessary information is located in [root directory]\bootmgr. For Windows XP, the file is \ntldr.

Bcdedit is a powerful tool that Windows Vista, 7 and Server 2008 uses to manage the boot entry option value in the Windows boot configuration data store (BCD).

Easiest way to edit the boot loader entry names
Open your Command Interpreter > Win + R > and type “cmd.exe” > and use the following command

bcdedit /set {current} description "any name"

Restart your computer to see the results…

Note: It is important to backup the bcd entries first:

bcdedit /export c:\savebcdentry

To undo the changes:

bcdedit /import c:\savebcdentry

How to delete entry from the list

EMC Navisphere simulator

I am currently revising for an EMC exam and part of the course material involves doing some training on the Navisphere simulator. No problems, except where on earth do you download the simulator software? I searched for ages before finding out that you only get access to it on EMC PowerLink if you are an EMC employee, partner or you have bought the relevant training. I had done the latter but still couldn’t get it downloaded for some reason, that’s when a google search turned up a link to the following page which required no credentials, EMC Education Services product simulators.

Terminal Server Client Simulation

Smclient formally named "Terminal Server Client Simulation", is a tool designed for simple simulation of multiple client connections to a Terminal Server.

Like many testing and simulation tools, however, its usability goes far beyond the original design goal. Smclient enables automated logon/logoff/disconnect, with activity which can be controlled by a decently-sized scripting language. Since it displays the mstsc.exe GUI, you can even start a session and intervene. It has some excellent verbose debugging options, so running it while attempting to connect to a remote system will allow you to do some nice diagnostics.
