Message: Hi Ilia,I took a quick look around but couldn't obviously spot it in the metabase either... I am guessing it is there somewhere, but we just need to find it...Ben

<description>Topic: Detecting and enforcing secure IIS configurations

Message: Ben,Do you know if we can get the status of Web Service Extensions? I want to know for instance if Active Server Pages -&#160; Allowed&#160; or Prohibited. I looked into metabase and WMI and can't find the status there...Thanks, Ilia

<description>Topic: Security Configuration Management: New Features Available

Message: Great username!The information is stored in what we call the 'Dashboard Datastore'.&#160; Basically they are stored in the database and are not directly tied to the underlying fixlet.I believe the exception is indentified by site name and control id so as long as those stay the same the exception will continue to apply.Jesse

<description>Topic: Security Configuration Management: New Features Available

Message: Where is the information stored for the exception information created in the new exception management dashboard? Is it adding a property that can be retrieved to the underlying fixlets that can be queried using relevance? If not, does that mean that exceptions will remain working if all the fixlets for a site with FDCC SCM content is updated (all fixlets deleted, then new fixlets copied in)?Thanks in advance.

<description>Topic: 'Network Drivers' analysis for 64-bit clients

Message: Hey Darryl,I believe that is expected when you have a pure x64 file because Windows uses different libraries to access them... You can access them in relevance with the x64 file inspector... Try this:q: version of x64 file (&#34;C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\b57amd64.sys&#34;)And then try the original expression modified to deal with x64 files:q: (( versions of (if (x64 of operating system) then x64 file(it) else file (it)) of&#160; ( pathname of windows folder &#38; &#34;\&#34; &#38; ( value &#34;ImagePath&#34; of it as string ) ) ) as string ) of keys ( ( &#34;HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\&#34; &#38; service key value name of it ) of active devices whose ( ( class of it = &#34;Net&#34; ) AND ( exists location information of it ) ) ) of registry as stringBen

<description>Topic: 'Network Drivers' analysis for 64-bit clients

Message: This is VERY interesting.&#160; The files no in fact exist.&#160; I've setup my relevance debugger to check the version of a DLL right on the root of the C: drive, another under the Windows\system32 folder, and another under the drivers folder and it seems the only issue is when you attempt to check files versions under the drivers folder.q: version of file (&#34;C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\b57amd64.sys&#34;)E: Singular expression refers to nonexistent object.q: version of file (&#34;C:\install.res.1028.dll&#34;)A: 9.0.21022.8q: version of file (&#34;C:\WINDOWS\system32\aaaamon.dll&#34;)A: 5.2.3790.1830q: version of file (&#34;C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\afd.sys&#34;)E: Singular expression refers to nonexistent object.

<description>Topic: 'Network Drivers' analysis for 64-bit clients

Message: Ok... so last check is to see if those files exist... and now that I think about it, that is probably where the problem lies... They probably are not in the system32 folder and instead are in the system64 folder (or something like that)...Can you please verify the file location and I will fix the relevance for you...Thanks,Ben

<description>Topic: Aug Update to Unix DISA STIG Checklist

Message: Hi T4l0r,We are currently reviewing the recent versions of the DISA checklist documents to determine what other changes exist so we can update the content.&#160; In the meantime, you can easily change the default value by using the parameter action to change the value to 14 (or any other value you desire).&#160; Let me know if you need some guidance on how to do this and I can point you to it.&#160; We have also just updated our documentation to hopefully help with this.&#160; The documentation can be found here:http://support.bigfix.com/resources.html Let me know if you need anything further.
