Doubts about signed files in Diag report RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    First of all, thank you for creating this forum, I bet it is really tiresome to have us asking about the same issue over and over, speccialy when theres is only a handful of you doing all the work!

    This is the issue I am facing (I will post the Full report in a reply so the explanation doesn´t get too cluttered):

    In doing an audit on our sistems I found two of them had a wrong Licence key in use. I contacted the repair guy and he said that these systems had to be rebuilt a while ago because they where damaged in an accident, and in the hurry he probably used the wrong disc image to restore.
    As we do have our legitimate VL keys and we are within our purchased amount he pointed me to an official Microsoft tool to change the keys, which I did.


    Everything seem to be ok, the MGA Diagnoostic utility is fine and even the online validation doesnt give any errors. But there are two details that caught my eye:

    1) The code for WgaTray and WgaLogon is different than for the other items.

    2) On some XP computers there is a "genuine" logo in the System Properties window and sometimes a manufacturer´s logo... Should I have this on these custom built systems?

    Our Director is considering an external audit (something including the computers but beyond that, dont know what really) and we´d like to have a perfect score.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    thank you for the reply.

    The Validation link redirects me to a page where I can download additional software such as IE 9 or MSE.

    I also visited http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/ where some checks take place and everything is marked as Correct:

    Sitio de diagnóstico del software original de Microsoft

    Correcto Active scripting permitido
    Correcto Mostrar imágenes habilitado
    Correcto Hora y fecha del equipo correctas
    Correcto Cookies habilitadas
    Correcto Control ActiveX habilitado

    Correcto Autoayuda de validación: Comprobación de corrupción de Data.dat
    Correcto Autoayuda de validación: Comprobación de criptografía
    Correcto Autoayuda de validación: Comprobación de activación de productos


    After that there are two blue buttons to validate Windows or Office (which was never installed in this system). Proceeding to the Windows button redirects me the url you provided and from there I am redirected again to the 'Download software' page.

    During the Diagnostics process some activeX was updated and that reflects in the new MGADiagnostics report below.

    Would you say, as far as you can tell, that this system doesn´t need to be reinstalled?. I would really like to avoid unnecesary downtime on this one.

    Regards.

    That means that you passed validation :)
    I see the 0x800b0100 errors are still present....
    Please check the version and exact filesize of the following files
    C:\Windows\System32\WgaTray.exe
    C:\Windows\System32\WgaLogon.dll
    The error would tend to indicate that there is a problem with the digital signature expected.
    This could mean that you still have an earlier version, or it could mean that at some stage, the machine has had a hack installed to bypass activation, or had a virus which attacked these files.
     
    You could try replacing both files with copies from another machine (you'd be best doing that in Safe Mode/Command Prompt)
    Or you could run SFC /SCANNOW - you'd need to have the source/CD handy

  • Hello Madd-Ops,

    One other thing that may be affecting the situation is that this computer has a proxy set.

    Normally, computers that show up here with a proxy set fall into two categories: (a) the computer is part of a larger organization's network and the network is architected with proxy use as a deliberate step; or (b) the computer had or has a malware infection and the malware established the proxy for its own purposes.

    I would expect (a) in your case rather than (b).

    In the early days of WGA we used to recommend that for troubleshooting purposes, one thing to try would be to access the internet and thusly MS's servers for activation/validation runs without the proxy in place.

    Try without the proxy and see what happens.

    As you say, the install here seems genuine.
    The discrepancies between systems may be for a number of reasons
    1) - when last validated (if at all) - the report shown would seem to be from a system validated some time ago.
    2) - source of image used for install - one done using a Volume disk will have other bits in it besides those required for Volume activation, and may have manufacturer-specific data which shows up in the system the current XP version is 1.9.40.0 cf your displayed version of 1.7.36.0
    To an extent, that could explain the 0x800b0100 errors - this may be indicating that the certificate on those files has expired.
     
    Please attempt validation *on this machine* at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate and see what happens - then run another MGADiag report and post the results.

  • Well spotted, Dan - I missed that one! (I so rarely see proxies any more that I forget to check, I suspect)

    Thanks for the assist
