Configuring TACACS+ on Juniper SRX and Windows Active Directory

I’m sure someone has already documented this somewhere, but here are my usual breadcrumbs.  After pouring through Juniper’s thorough, yet scattered, documentation I finally got my SRX talking to Windows Ad via TACACS+.

I decided to go with TACACS.net, a free (not as in beer, though) command line oriented service that runs on Windows. It’s a very nice program and really cool that it can be downloaded for free. They charge for support, so I guess that’s how they keep the lights on. Read more

Windows – Can’t delete local printer port

Another reason I hate dealing with MS. I have had this issue with every version of Windows as far back as I can remember so obviously they will never fix the code.  So, you want to reconfigure a non-working printer or remove an old entry in the printer server “Ports” tab.  But Windows won’t let you – it says that the “Resource is in use.”  Huh?  I deleted the printer, now I just want to delete the local/TCP port.  Turns out there might have been old jobs sticking around and they need to be cleared out first.  Uggh.

This isn’t my solution, but I just want to give a shout out to the guy who posted it and hopefully one extra link will give him that much more Google ranking cred.
