Workaround : Forefront Identity Management Service was not running. Start service. If you get another error then is is not your fix.

So this all started when I wanted to enable my wireless adapter. I found the Latest driver(rtl8191se).  But everytime I tried to  install the driver i got this error: “The service section in the inf invalid” . Of course this was driving me crazy…. I spent at least an hour looking through an INF file to see if i could figure out what the problem was.  Anyway long story short see below.

The walkthrough below is not from me. Link

After installing Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the wireless adapter or WiFi adapter is not working or functioning. System cannot detect or see any wireless networks with no wireless networks available error message, and system cannot connect to Internet or wireless LAN.

To make matter worse, users have installed the proper signed driver for the wireless adapter, either through Windows Update, drivers CD from vendor or download latest and correct driver from OEM or manufacturer’s website. In Device Manager, the wireless or WiFi network adapter is working properly. And, when using Windows Server built-in diagnostics feature to troubleshoot the no wireless connection problem, it indicates that the wireless adapter is either having driver or hardware issue.

The cause of the no wireless connection is that Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 disables and turns off Wireless LAN service by default, which supports the wireless WLAN Auto Configuration service, and configures WLAN AutoConfig for automatic startup.

In order to turn on Wireless LAN and WLAN AutoConfig service in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, go to Server Manager (in Administrator Tools). Go to Features branch and click on Add Features. Click and tick the check box for Wireless LAN Service. Complete the installation wizard to install wireless support.

The Wireless LAN Service configures the WLAN AutoConfig service to start automatically, regardless of whether the computer has any IEEE 802.11 wireless adapters installed. When enabled, WLAN AutoConfig enumerates every wireless network adapter installed on the computer, manages IEEE 802.11 wireless connections, and manages the wireless connection profiles that contain the settings required to configure a wireless client to connect to a wireless network. WLAN AutoConfig allows user to connect to an existing wireless network (data encryption key or network key may be required), change wireless network connection settings, configure a connection to a new wireless network, and specify preferred wireless networks. WLAN AutoCofig also notifies user when new wireless networks are available. When switching wireless networks, WLAN AutoConfig dynamically updates your wireless network adapter settings to match the settings of that new network and a network connection attempt will be made.

 I always said, once it was popular to get a MAC, they would suffer

 the same fate as the PC. **

Severity: High

30 March, 2010

Summary:

• These vulnerabilities affect: All current versions of OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) and OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard)
• How an attacker exploits them: Multiple vectors of attack, including visiting malicious websites or enticing one of your users into downloading and viewing various malicious media files
• Impact: Various results; in the worst case, an attacker executes code on your user’s computer, potentially gaining full control of it
• What to do: OS X administrators should download, test and install Security Update 2010-002 or the 10.6.3 update.

Exposure:

Today, Apple released a security update to fix vulnerabilities in all current versions of OS X. The update fixes well over 90 (number based on CVE-IDs) security issues in around 43 components that ship as part of OS X, including Quicktime, CoreMedia, and Mail. Some of these vulnerabilities allow attackers to gain full control of your OS X machines, so we rate this update Critical. Apply it as soon as you can. Some of the fixed vulnerabilities include:

• Various QuickTime Code Execution Vulnerabilities. Quicktime is the multimedia (video and audio) player that ships with OS X. According to Apple, QuickTime suffers from nine code execution vulnerabilities involving its inability to properly handle maliciously crafted movie files. Though the flaws differ technically, they share the exact same scope and impact.  If an attacker can lure one of your users into playing a malicious movie (perhaps hosted on a malicious website), he could exploit this flaw to either crash QuickTime or to execute attack code on that user’s computer. By default, the attacker would only execute code with that user’s privileges. However, the attacker could also leverage other privilege elevation flaws described in Apple’s alert to gain complete control of your user’s Mac. 

• Multiple Image-related Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities. ImageIO and Image RAW are both OS X components that help the operating system handle various types of image files. Both components suffer from memory-related vulnerabilities involving the way they handle certain types of image files. Though the vulnerabilities differ technically, they share a very similar scope and impact. If an attacker can get a victim to view a specially crafted picture (perhaps hosted on a malicious website), he could exploit any of these flaws to either crash the viewing application or to execute attack code on the victim’s computer. By default, the attacker would only execute code with that user’s privileges. However, the attacker could also leverage other flaws in Apple’s alert to gain complete control of your user’s Mac. 

• Disk Images Code Execution Vulnerabilities. Disk Images is the OS X component that mounts the DMG disk image files commonly used to install software on Mac computers. Apple’s OS X update fixes two code execution vulnerabilities in Disk Images. Though they differ technically, an attacker could leverage both in the same way. By enticing you to mount a malicious DMG file, an attacker could exploit either of these flaws to execute code on your computer, with your privileges. Like the previous flaws, the attacker could then leverage other vulnerabilities to gain complete control of your Mac.

Apple’s alert also describes many other vulnerabilities, including some Denial of Service (DoS) flaws, information disclosure issues, and Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Components patched by this security update include:

AppKit	Application Firewall
AFP Server	Apache
ClamAV	CoreAudio
CoreMedia	CoreTypes
CUPS	curl
Cyrus IMAP	Cyrus SASL
Desktop Services	Disk Images
Directory Services	Dovecot
Event Monitor	FreeRADIUS
FTP Server	iChat Server
ImageIO	Image RAW
Libsystem	Mail
Mailman	MySQL
OS Services	Password Server
perl	PHP
Podcast Producer	Preferences
PS Normalizer	Quicktime
Ruby	Server Admin
SMB	Tomcat
unzip	vim
Wiki Server	X11
xar

Please refer to Apple’s OS X 10.5.x and 10.6.x alert for more details

As an aside, if you haven’t installed the Safari update Apple released earlier this month, we recommend you install it as well.

Solution Path:

Apple has released OS X Security Update 2010-002 and 10.6.3 to fix these security issues. OS X administrators should download, test, and deploy the corresponding update as soon as they can.

• Security Update 2010-001 (Leopard)
• Security Update 2010-001 (Leopard Server)
• Mac OS X v10.6.3 Update (Snow Leopard)
• Mac OS X v10.6.3 Update (Snow Leopard Combo)
• Mac OS X Server v10.6.3 Update (Snow Leopard Server)
• Mac OS X Server v10.6.3 Update (Snow Leopard Server Combo)

Note: If you have trouble figuring out which of these patches corresponds to your version of OS X, we recommend that you let OS X’s Software Update utility pick the correct updates for you automatically.

For All Users:

These flaws enable many diverse exploitation methods. Some of the exploits are local, meaning that your perimeter firewall never encounters the attack (unless you use firewalls internally between departments). Installing these updates, therefore, is the most secure course of action.

Status:

Apple has released updates to fix these issues.
