Aaron Anodide's questions

I have a situation where I've developed a website on Windows and come to find only a single UNIX server has been white listed for the back end server-to-server information exchange that needs to be performed.

My options seem to be:

1. Migrate to Mono
2. Rewrite in PHP
3. Setup a proxy on the white listed server to act as a relay (REST based web service).

My question here is about the feasibility of (3).

In my initial research I found nc -l 12345 | nc www.google.com 80 but do not know how to restrict the incoming connection to only a single IP.

Is there a good/simple solution to my problem?

Update: I was able to convince the stakeholders involved that it was better to accept we had a configuration issue. Thus, the windows server was white listed (they thought it would take a lot longer than it actually did). Anyway, the answer given turned out to have the correct solution. Thanks!

I don't know that much about Active Directory on windows 2008, but I'd like to set the Phone Numbers for all the people in my company and I have access to our Active Directory server.

The only way I can figure out now is to open up each user's node individually and enter the phone number.

Is there a better way?

I'm not the domain admin, but I thought I could handle a simple task, and apparently I thought wrong, how I need assistance.

A computer was locked and we needed to login to shutdown a program that was locking a file.

I have done this before: I open active directory, and reset their password.

However, I reset their computer account instead.

I went ahead and reset the password, but when I enter it (Windows XP desktop/Server R2 domain) I get a message saying the account is not available (makes sense, I just don't know how to fix it).

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have admin access..
