yup, exactly, and anyone who deploys any kind of server straight out of
the wrapper without locking it down, does not deserve the job he is
doing, whether a newbie like me with 23 years in this game or an "expert
who's read the test king manual's.

Perzactly. Its phony protection. Servers should be behind locked doors -
inaccessible to everyone except authorized admins. If a bad guy can get
into your server room, anyone here think that locking the server vs.
logging out of it is going to make a difference? Only newbies like
jaredjizz think it's a security measure. If one is so concerned about
it, then create a "deny local logon" GPO and put all your servers in it.

Morning, Afternoon, Evening All.

Has Danny's original question been answered?

Forgetting the rhetorics, Danny have you gotten the solution to the
problem?

Locking or logging out depends very much on the environment within which
you are operating. Here, we mostly lock when running a task and log out
otherwise. There is no one clear right way.

Regarding the security issues, once your logging-in  credentials are
compromised, it then becomes very irrelevant whether you log or lock,
and if they are not, same thing applies - irrelevant whether you log or
lock.

John, there is nothing wrong, immoral or dirty about being called a
"consultant". I am one and proud of it. Some people "hate" Doctors, some
Solicitors, some Accountants, some Builders, some the human race, the
list is endless. Please do not feel obliged or compelled to justify your
calling or level of proficiency to anyone. Some people will find your
capabilities outstanding, and some would not. There is no one universal
cap that fits all. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. A man
doesn't think highly of Politicians, so be it. We all have our
prerogatives.

Going back to the original issue, it does not really matter whether
Danny locks or log out. The only right approach in this case is one that
solves his problem. His integrity should not be questioned regarding his
ability to make the right decisions as far as security is concerned.

Could we now lay this to rest. We are still expecting a reply from
Bukino to Moses Nkgari in relation to his PO3 and DL problem. Bukino how
far, any movements?
