Introduction

This is the configuration page for the Windows 7 partition on NXL67170.

Available Images

  • (1st image as-of 2012-02-19 deleted)
  • Image 1 (ntfsclone) — 2013-03-20 — Native, as received from IT with some additional software (Visio, Euroglot...), but without any virtualization .
  • Image 2 (ntfsclone) — Last backup image. Contains additional software, custom settings and virtualization.
  • Image 3 (vbox snapshot) — 1st virtualbox snapshot, state as on harddrive image. Content of the next backup image. Last known good version, VM is reverted to that image if Candidate image is broken
    • Next images are named Image 4, Image 5...
  • Candidate (vbox snapshot) — Last permanent image, VM is reverted to that image regularly to get SW updates, and apply last changes from new. All services enabled. Merged into Image 3 if proven stable.
  • Lightweight (vbox snapshot) — Lightweight version of candidate (many serviced and AV disabled). Contains last bleeding-edge changes. VM already started. VM is reverted to that image on a daily basis.

Before Deleting Snapshots

  • Backup Personal certificates (save them to ~/Documents/archive.noidx/backup_and_log/nxl67170-latitude_e5430/certificates, see README.TXT for instructions)
  • Backup Office templates (from C:\Users\beq06659\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates to ~/Documents/archive.noidx/backup_and_log/nxl67170-latitude_e5430)

Daily process

  • Boot lightweight snapshot.
  • Apply last changes during last session (marked new), and update lightweight snapshot (replace previous one).
  • Enjoy

Weekly process

  • Merge candidate snapshot into image 3.
  • Boot the new image 3
  • Apply last changes applied in image lightweight, and download last SW update, etc.
  • Create new candidate snapshot
  • Apply non-permanent changes (lightweight, see below), and create new lightweight snapshot.

How to create a Lightweight image from a standard one

  • Boot image using Windows recovery DVD and start regedit.exe
  • Mount SYSTEM hive as remote_SYSTEM
  • Mount SOFTWARE hive as remote_SOFTWARE
  • Import registry files c:\temp\custom_config\*_On_Remote.reg.
  • Edit hosts file, and add / uncomment line
127.0.0.1     wbi.nxp.com
  • Restart, and run asap the file c:\temp\custom_config\Customize_config.bat as administrator.
  • Make sure that the network interface is set to NAT, and that the CD-ROM is removed before making the snapshot.
  • In Outlook, disable de McAfee Add-in.

Monthly process

  • Backup image 3

  • 5th Import home configuration with git
  • 5th Create symlinks to drives (we do not use the fstab or --change-cygdrive-prefix trick because there is no way for scripts to get the cygdrive prefix. Moreover even if it was possible, there is a big chance that scripts would still hardcode /cygdrive as the default prefix. A better and more portable solution is to leave the default prefix to /cygdrive, and create symbolic links in root dir)

USB Device Filters
  • 5th (NXP Telematics ATOP dev) Add filter for NXP Semiconductors NXP ATOP USB
Firewall
  • Input filter — Netword card attached to NAT
  • Output filter — Done on Linux host. Add at the end of /etc/ufw/before.rules (before COMMIT line)
# VIRTUALBOX - Block output connection for user vbox
# Don't create chains with -N, but use this syntax:
:vbox-output - [0:0]
:vbox-output-logging-deny - [0:0]
:vbox-output-logging-allow - [0:0]
-A ufw-before-output -m owner --uid-owner 7000 -j vbox-output
# We accept everything going to ports DNS/Kerberos/Netbios/LDAP
# We reject all connections to intranet (with logging), but allow 92.120.124.210 (online) and 92.120.124.197, port 1025 (for Lync?)
# And by default, we allow
# 92.120.124.197 = beqleunxp1dc100.wbi.nxp.com.
# 92.120.124.210 = online.be-leu01.nxp.com
-A vbox-output -p tcp -m multiport --dports 88,135,139,445 -j ACCEPT
-A vbox-output -p udp -m multiport --dports 53,137,138 -j ACCEPT
-A vbox-output -p tcp -d 92.120.124.210 -j vbox-output-logging-allow
-A vbox-output -p tcp -d 92.120.124.197 --dport 1025 -j vbox-output-logging-allow

-A vbox-output-logging-deny -j REJECT
-A vbox-output-logging-allow -j LOG --log-prefix "[UFW ALLOW] [VBOX] "
-A vbox-output-logging-allow -j ACCEPT
  • Summary on how these rules where generated:
  • Boot virtual image while watching ufw log (tail -f /var/log/ufw.log|grep "\[VBOX\]")
  • Many connections to DNS / LDAP (port 53,389) and NetBIOS (135,137,138,139 and 445)
  • Many Kerberos authentication requests - blocking these considerably slow down login sequence
  • For now, we are just blocking intranet (92.120.*.*), except some sites.

Remarks

  • Install advertised program
    This works even if policy deleted (winlogon was running though), network interface set to NAT, and with most service disabled (but smshost and ccmexec services must be running).

To Do

Issues

  • Issue — virtualbox shared folder \\vboxsrv\d is not visible from Administrator account. Very annoying when copying files to system32 for instance (because source won't be visible anymore).
    Temp. workaround, launch cmd as administrator:
net use D: \\vboxsrv\d
  • Issue — Opera does not work with custom proxy.pac file.
  • Issue — Nokia PC Suite, only detect & connect if I detach then reattach USB BCM20702A0
  • Issue — HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH always pointing at network share, causing lags when disconnected.
See [7] for potential workarounds
  • Issue — Tuning settings reverted every 10 min or so (like CcmExec or wuauserv re-enabled)
    • Add firewall rules to filter vbox output connection - to no avail so far
    • Check process taskeng.exe and wscript.exe
    • This task executes a file at \\wbi\sysvol\wbi.nxp.com\Policies\{916532D9-BDF8-46FE-A77B-F84124C54878}\Machine\Scripts\Startup. How come it is accessible despites the firewall? offline storage / access outside intranet / using one of the allowed port?
    • Found reference to this script in registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy.
    • Fixed? In lightweight image, add a command to disable the scheduled task, and purge registry from policy settings (see Customize_config.bat)

To Do

Questions

  • Outlook — macro always enabled. Any better solution?
  • Outlook — move .ost to d: drive (or find a solution that outlook always complaining .ost is old)
  • Outlook — find a rss reader that can save into IMAP (check rss2email or feed2imap)
  • System — Enable page file?
  • Merge history from file win7_P2V_links.txt, and written notes.
  • Recover application settings from old profile

Done & Fixed

  • Fixed' — Office Lync 2010— Fix very slow typing in Lync (maybe due to update 7/7/2014):
    • Either reset audio settings (see [8]). Go to Control Panel, then IDT Audio, and reset things everywhere, including in Windows devices.
    • Installed Dell drivers [9] 3330_Audio_Driver_C6HVR_WN_1.0.6491.0_A08.EXE (although crashed)
