GraphOn’s GO-Global software gives the Windows Server operating system the capability to serve 32-bit Windows® based applications to client desktops, terminals and web-browsers running on PC and non-PC desktops. The GO-Global Server environment is, by definition, a thin-client, 100 percent server-centric architecture. Because the GO-Global clients will be available for many different desktop platforms (Linux, Macintosh, and others), the GO-Global Server provides access to 32-bit Windows-based applications from virtually any desktop. The GO-Global Server allows you to roll out 32-bit Windows-based applications to a heterogeneous set of desktops while transitioning to a pure 32-bit desktop environment.

This white paper provides step by step instructions to apply Microsoft patches with Lieberman
Software’s Task Scheduler Pro.
1. Applying Microsoft Patches with Task Scheduler Pro
The MSBlast worm, also called the RPC/DCOM vulnerability, requires that you install a specific version of the patch for each platform you are patching. Task Scheduler Pro allows enables you to copy the appropriate platform specific patch to each of your systems, execute the patch in an unattended manner, and reboot the systems remotely without any further action on your part. Task Scheduler Pro allows administrators to deploy patches across their enterprise much faster than distribution systems like Microsoft SMS. Patch tasks can be created on all of your systems simultaneously, and they begin executing on your systems almost immediately. In a virus outbreak situation, speed is essential.

With Active Directory, Microsoft has provided administrators with a powerful directory service to organize network data and to control access to network resources from a central point. However, “powerful” by necessity also means complex, and the complexity of Active Directory has probably contributed to slowing down the rollout of Windows 2000 and 2003 servers. Initially, many organizations found simply migrating their flat NT4 domain structures into a more sophisticated Active Directory wrapping to be a significant challenge. By now, many have defined their Active Directory Forests, survived an often cumbersome deployment process, and seen their directories mature into efficient tools for centralized administration. Policies have become the levers of network management, and, as a result, Active Directory has become a repository holding extremely sensitive data.
