Well, if you set the local computer security settings for "Do not allow =
enumeration of SAM accounts and shares" to "No access", you cannot dump =
any SAM information via a NULL session, unless you have a specific user =
account and password with at least User rights.  Since this is going to =
be a DMZ machine, set this to "No Access", and you should be fine.  =
Also, make sure that you have specific port filtering on your DMZ =
machine, and also on your firewall.

Folks,=20

Thanks to Chris Lynch I found my answer to this. It seems since I dont =
have AD, I will-not be able to take advantage of the restricted groups =
setting, because the restricted groups setting is not included in the =
local GPO of Win2k Workstation/Server. Which is pretty sad, but true.=20

The only way you can do this is to setup a template with the restricted =
groups settings, and export a database of the current settings, and then =
import the template settings, via script against that database and apply =
to the local gpo. ( Dont secedit /refreshpolicy does nothing to help)  ( =
Making a scheduled task of this would be the best bet.) But what really =
sucks is there is not a great way of making a standalone Windows 2K =
Bastion Host, IIS/DNS/ISA server not vulnerable from attacks such as =
pipeupadmin or getadmin, or LSA Dump, which is something you really =
gotta do, before you put a system in your DMZ, unless you want it =
compromized really quick.=20

To the list,=20

I know this might be a little OT, but here is what I am trying to do, =
via Local GPO on a new External DNS Server I need to put out for my =
organization.=20

1) I have configured a security template which locks down the undeeded =
services, and ACL's them so that only Administrators can disable them if =
so desired.=20
2) The security template also, makes use the Restricted Groups =
Functionality, in which I have added all the local accounts in which =
will only be a member of the administrators group and no others.=20

I validated the Security template and then ran the following command =
secedit /configure /db db.sdb /CFG template.inf /overwrite /areas =
GROUP_MGMT /log log.log /verbose.=20

I looked at the log everything worked fine.=20

I ran secedit /Refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce and secedit =
/refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce.=20

I then go ahead and add the TSINTERNETUSER via terminal services to the =
administrators group, which via local GPO being applied it should be =
removed. When I reboot, the account still exists in the local =
administrators group.=20

DO any of the GPO guru's have some suggesstions? This is an External =
Win2k Standalone system with SP3, and all the needed hotfixes.=20

Thanks in advance,=20
