  1. For those not familiar with the Security Compliance Manager, SCM is a free tool from the Microsoft Solution Accelerators team that enables you to quickly configure and manage your computers, traditional data center, and private cloud using Group Policy and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. In addition to Windows 7 SP1, Windows Vista SP2, Windows XP SP3, Office 2010 SP1, and Internet Explorer 8, SCM 2.5 now offer additional baselines for Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010. Updated configuration baselines now include Windows 7 SP1, Windows Vista SP2, , Windows XP SP3, Microsoft Office 2010 SP1, and Internet Explorer 8.

    SCM 2 provides ready-to-deploy policies and DCM configuration packs that are tested and fully supported. Our product baselines are based on Microsoft security guide recommendations and industry best practices, allowing you to manage configuration drift, address compliance requirements, and reduce security threats.

    Key Features Include:

    • Integration with the System Center 2012 IT GRC Process Pack for Service Manager—Beta: Product configurations are integrated into the IT GRC Process Management Packs to provide oversight and reporting of your compliance activities.
    • Gold master support: Import and take advantage of your existing Group Policy or create a snapshot of a reference machine to kick-start your project.
    • Configure stand-alone machines: Deploy your configurations to non-domain joined computers using the new GPO Pack feature.
    • Updated security guides: Take advantage of the deep security expertise and best practices in the updated security guides, and the attack surface reference workbooks to help reduce the security risks that you consider to be the most important.
    • Compare against industry best practices: Analyze your configurations against prebuilt baselines for the latest versions of Windows client and server operating systems, Microsoft Office applications, and Internet Explorer.

    In a blog post a couple of days ago on the Windows Team blog Roger Capriotti, Director, Internet Explorer Marketing

    wrote on the Internet Explorer side about "The US Says Goodbye to IE6".

    That’s great, good news!

    Very nice work with The Internet Explorer 6 Countdown.

     

     

    Here in Sweden we are down to 0.4%.

     

    But why do 7.33% (acording to Netmarketshare) of all people on the Internet use Internet Explorer 6 in 2012?

    In December 2011 the number was 7.7%, so after all we are on the right track.

    Internet Explorer 6 is 10 years old!

     

    I’m not a security freak, but I will never use Internet Explorer 6 to surf on the Internet.

    It’s something like to have a antivirus program from the same time.

    It was great then, but not now. Okay, I will never use IE7 either :)

    Some of the arguments about using an old browser (IE6 and IE7) usually ends up in an business critical web application.

     

    My questions is always:

    • Why use that web application?
    • Is It because of the vendor or the company?

    In almost every case It’s possible to upgrade or switch to another vendors similar web application.

     

     

     

    It’s more expensive to use a non standard, not updated and a non safe web browser for all of the employers on a company

    rather then upgrade or switch business critical web applications.

     

    In the case with IE6 I think that the major part of the users is not companies.

    And it’s people with old operating systems too.

  7. Hi,

     

    If you know that your computers are on all the time then you can have the script on an admin computer or server and make only one schedule.

    As long as your computers firewalls or policys in any way doesent probit that you access your computers from another computer like \\computer\c$\pathtofiletodelete.

     

    If you don't like to create schedule tasks for every computers you can make a script that you run with a group policy when your computers starts and If it's the right day of the month the file is deleted.

     

    If you want to use schedule tasks then I think you should deploy them with group policy.

     

    Best Regard,

    Fredrik Wall
