I use the HOSTS file to block ad sites. I've recently encountered a few that don't seem to be affected.
deals.slashdot.org
tracking.deltadefense.com
When I ping them, I'm told the site can't be reached/doesn't exist, but when I browse to a site that contains ads from these sites, the ads are displayed.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
BTW, this happens on Linux and Windows boxes.

Might be configured to not reply to a ping. Use fiddler to find out from which domain the ads are served, doubt that they're the same. Once you have that adres, add it to your host-file.

You could try flushing your DNS cache with the command "ipconfig /flushdns". The DNS entries may be cached from a time before you added those domains to your HOSTS file.

The DNS entries might be cached by your browser.

Or your browser might be configured to use DoH[^], which would completely ignore your HOSTS file.

domain system user login once login system user but every time shutdown the system after user is removed in that system how to solve ?
|
|
|
|

You would need to provide more detail.
I think you are asking the following
1. A user logs into the system.
2. While the user is logged in the user is deleted.
3. How would it be possible to force the user off the system once 2 happens.

Hey everyone,
This might be a bit lengthy, but here is my situation. I am an intern at a small to medium organization. I have been tasked with getting Roaming Profiles up and running via Group Policy (I know lots of people don't like roaming profiles, again, intern so not my call). Problem: My degree is in network engineering and I have almost zero experience with group policy. I have done as much research as I can to get these things working, but I am at an impasse.
Here is what I have tried:
Step 1 - Create a security group in Active Directory on our domain controller. Controller is running Server 2012 r2. Security group includes the Test PC and Test account I created. The security group, test pc, and test account are all currently in a Test OU.
Step 2 - Create the file share. The share was created on our data server. Data server is running server 2008 (I know I know). Settings for the share include: Sharing the folder and giving the security group full control for share permissions. Under security, the security group is added with read/write permissions. Creator Owner, SYSTEM, Administrators All have full control. Users have read/write.
Inheritance has been disabled.
Step 3 - Create the GPO for the redirects - Again on our domain controller, server 2012 r2
GPO is created in the Test OU where the group, test computer, and test account are located.
Under Scope, Everything is removed and the Security Group is added. As per Microsoft's instructions, Authenticated users are added to Delegation and given read permissions.
Edit the GPO, go to Computer Configuraiton -> Administrative Templates -> System -> User Profiles -> Set Roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer.
Edit - and set set it to "Enabled" I then entered the network path of the previously created Network Share under "Users logging onto this computer should use this roaming profile path" Apply and exit.
Step 4 - Go to the test PC. Open an elevated command prompt and use gpupdate /force. Most people seem to say you can log out at this point, but I just restarted the PC to be safe.
PC comes back up, log into one of the accounts associated with the security policy and... nada. The profile redirect does nothing.
Some things I have tried: On the Test PC, I have run gpresult /Z in a prompt window. The profile redirect policy appears in the "Applied Policies" list.
I have also tried the alternative method of setting the profile path for an individual account in Active Directory. This again does nothing.
On the network share, I have just given full blown full control permissions to everyone and everything just to see if it works. (It doesn't)
From what I am seeing it seems like one of two things, but my limited knowledge makes it hard to know. Either I have set the permissions on the network share incorrectly, or there is some other permission somewhere that is blocking any profile redirects. What complicates things is the Folder Redirection component in group policy works perfectly. I was also able to create a GPO that created a mapped drive to where the network share is housed. From the test PC, i could click on the drive, and even click ON the network share. The PC can see it, but the profiles just won't go there.
As an fyi, all of our workstations are running Windows 10
From everything I've read and with my limited understanding, I feel like this SHOULD be working. Is there something else I have not considered or some switch somewhere that needs to be flicked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my desktop after a disk crash.
The problem is that Windows thinks it's running on a mobile device, for some reason. It shows the battery charge indicator in the taskbar, and it offers Airplane Mode, among other details.
I suppose it's not a bad problem, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can make it know it's on a desktop.
I do not know what to Google to find the answer. Perhaps someone could give me some search terms?

You might ask the manufacturer of your system (if it is not an old one).
The Airplane mode exists also for desktop systems (at least when WiFi hardware is present).
You might have a look at this thread (which I found by "windows 10 installation airplane mode"): Airplane Mode Windows 10 - Microsoft Community[^].
I have not read all posts but some mentioned that they had similar behaviours on desktop systems:
Quote: My PC is a desktop and doesn't have wireless or a battery. Then I realized that my APC battery backup had a USB cable plugged in to my PC. I removed the cable and rebooted my computer and both Airplane Mode and the Battery Saver options are gone.

Thanks! I have a UPS plugged into my machine too. That must be what's doing it.

Hi Frnds
One of the pc having a shared folder that is working fine. My employee often shutdown the pc when leaving from the office. But Next day, the share folder is not accessible and there is no ping between the computers. If I change the ip address to a different one, then it will work. This is a big headache for me and the users. Its a brand new pc. I am using kapersky end point security antivirus.
Pls help me to resolve this

Maybe one of you have encountered this and fixed it or perhaps some sage advice is out there.
My laptop is Windows 10 Pro, and I have full admin rights. I travel between my home office and my customer location. At the customer location, I have a networked drive mapped to our development server file storage area:
N drive mapped to \\SwServer\Development
This server also hosts our SVN repositories, which will come into this story in a bit.
My laptop is mine, and as a consultant, I am not allowed to be a member of the domain (nor do I want to be). My credentials are entered, saved, and I can access this drive as you would expect.
Now I go home to my corporate office  and I'm attempting to access the network drive using the customer supplied VPN software (global protect if it matters). Once connected (no error messages in the log), I cannot see the network drives. If I ping the server, I get timeouts. Okay, the network is screwed up somehow.
But here comes the weird part - our svn server is hosted on SwServer behind an Apache web server (standard SVN setup). I can access my svn repositories just fine. So, somehow the path from my laptop to the SwServer exists somewhere.
Something is screwed up. Any suggestions as to what to look for?
The odd thing is that I can go a week and things will work flawlessly, then it all comes off the rails....

I have no idea about SVN, does it use direct IP or some other magic like HTTP that may take the IP out of the equation?

My understanding is that svn leverages the html / web api. I don't think there is anything "special" it does....

There's a firewall on the VPN entry point that allows HTTP but is blocking the SMB/CIFs protocol; that might be part of the organizational DMZ internal access point. You'll need to coordinate with the organization's NOC to figure out how to get that drive mapping to work through the VPN, or use a cloud service accessible from both networks.

I sort of understood that. However, I wonder why it would work some of the time? The wildcard in this equation is that 99.99% of the users of this VPN are employees and members of the domain. No problems reported by them.

Ah, it sounds like it entirely depends on how your credentials are handled, your description doesn't mean much on that light unfortunately.
Regardless, there is definitely a firewall between you and the internal network that you don't have to contend with while on site. I suspect it will boil down to how authentication is handled. If possible, I've found the easiest solution is to use a jump box or terminal server to work from on premises.

Hmmm,
I'd begin debugging by doing:
route print
(This is probably your problem)
On both networks and making sure you have a route to the SwServer. You are probably on a different IP address range while connected to the VPN and have a different route or no route at all.
You might be able to add a route to SwServer by doing:
route ADD [network] MASK [mask] [gateway]
Keep in mind it could also be a firewall rule on the company network so you may want to get the Systems Administrator involved.
Some additional thoughts:
Make sure the NETBIOS name 'SwServer' resolves to an IP by doing:
nslookup SwServer
If SwServer resolves to an IP address... try manually mapping the drive:
net use N: \\SwServer\Development

Many Systems Admins sit in their office and poke buttons and change network security/patch things every day while consuming large amounts of coffee. It's a repeating pattern of fixing 90% of everything and breaking the other 10% of users. Rise and repeat.
