I have a file on my Debian Stretch server that has the following security attribute: -rw-r--r--, owned by root.
If I login as root directly (su -), I can edit and save it. But if I try to do sudo nano filename to open it with my admin user login, when I try to save it it gives me a permission denied error (and wants me to save it as a new file, instead of overwriting the current one).
Why would this be?
We're using the offical Debian Stretch AMI.
Doing some investigation, it's clear that some hardening and optimizations have been done specific to the AMI for AWS/EC2 use.
How can I find out the specifics of what's been included/excluded in this AMI? (Is there a clear channel to communicate this question w/ the Debian team, or is the information is out there? If this was simply a community AMI I wouldn't expect much, but since it's from Debian, I'd hope some documentation is floating around).
Note: I'd like to avoid scripting our own AMI for now. And clearly some time, effort, and hardening has been put into this Debian AMI, and it'd be great to know what all went into it.
I'm attempting to update a production server that hasn't had a Windows Update installed in almost 3 years.
When I attempt to download any update, even if I select just one, the download hangs at 0% consistently. The first time I downloaded the updates (97 updates), it hung at 46% for 12+hrs.
I stopped the download, restarted the computer, restarted the Windows update, and ever since then, it hangs at 0%.
The event log is indicating that the installer, TrustedInstaller.exe, is crashing everytime I try to re-download the updates.

Note: The other day, it let me know that I would need to download an update to the installer before installing Window's updates (humourous).
I ran this, and I'm not sure if it was successful or not, but I would assume so, since I was able to start downloading the updates up to 46%.
At this point I'm wondering if I should just install SP1 directly on the server. I assume it's a roll-up of all the major updates since, but I could be wrong.
I'm running a Windows 2012 64bit Server R2, computer name server-01, and I want to map a network drive to a path located on the same server. (This is needed for SharePoint 2013 development.)
However, I get the typical Windows cannot access [url] Network Error prompt. (Diagnosing it yields no details).
I can map the drive to a client computer (outside of the server) using the server's public URL, i.e. http://publicurl/_catalogs/masterpage . Also, the account that I am using is an administrator account. It can also be noted that the server-01 is a web server (IIS), and a domain controller. (It's a development server, not production). I guess I could make it that I connect to the drive from the public URL, but I'm still curious why this isn't working.
Edit: I cannot map a network drive remotely. I thought I could, but I can't; sorry for the mislead information.
One of my clients is experiencing internet delays and outages within their small network. They've verified with their cable company that the issue is not related to any cable company outages. The concern has been raised that either there's too much network activity for their one server to handle, or their website might be getting attacked. Due to this, we'd like to start logging their main server's network activity.
This server has the following responsibilities:
Goal: Ideally, I'd like to log network bandwidth used by the processes, as I feel this would give a good handle on what services/software is eating too much bandwidth. I started looking at the native Windows Performance Monitor tool, but I can't figure out how to log the data to a file, and I'm wondering if there's a better [free] logging tool that will give details about how much bandwidth a given process is using.
Questions:
How do I log the activity seen from the Perfomance Monitor Tool (if possible)
Is there a better logging tool that will log how much bandwidth a given process is using?
I'm running batch processes via a batch file and I want SQL server to log the reslt when I execute my DBCC SHRINKFILE command from my batch file. Is there anyway to do this?
Example: - Run.bat
rem Shrink transaction log and log the result
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\osql.exe" -E -Q "Use [Database] DBCC SHRINKFILE(Database_log, 50)"
Is it possible to use wild cards in a URL to retrieve multiple objects located on a server, or a listing of multiple objects located on a server.
For example:
www.mywebsite.com/images/october/*.jpg
Or is there anything similar that would produce the result that I'm looking for.
I'm looking at a hosting company that I plan on going with, but they use IIS 6 with ASP.NET 4. I plan on running a ASP.NET 4 MVC web application that uses SQL Server (which the hosting company has).
Can I run MVC applications on IIS 6?
Are there any downsides of an ASP.NET MVC Application living on an IIS 6 server?
