Can't take being wrong eh? LMHO! What's new. Just because you're a "man" doesn't mean you must automatically have a fragile ego. You now have a total of NINE provided areas of proof. You've been convicted my friend. :) -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:adavid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 6:20 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Scheduling NTBackup to mapped drive http://www.MSExchange.org/ This is your documentation? This is your proof? OMFG. You have to be the worst admin of all time. You are certainly the worst researcher. Lol. People actually hire you. This is rich. The debate is about whether locking the server is more secure than logging off from the server. Of course you set to the screen saver to lock after x minutes, that's in case you walk away from it - not because its more secure than simply logging off. A link from a University? I cant stop laughing. This is great. I hope your employers read this list. Thanks for the laughs. -----Original Message----- From: Jared Johnson [mailto:jaredsjazz@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 5:58 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Scheduling NTBackup to mapped drive http://www.MSExchange.org/ LOL. Right. And I have some land in the Sierra I'd like to sell you. How about the truth: http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6329-F.html http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness/gtm/securityguidance/articles/step_5_ use_strong_passwords.mspx (read, "But all too often...") http://labmice.techtarget.com/articles/securingwin2000.htm (look at "password protect your..." which mentions ALL SERVERS.) http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth/data/restricteduse/security/win200 0server (look at #2) Answer me this: Why would microsoft give the ability to lock all their server screens?? Because they don't want you to USE IT!? Again, this is common sense. LOL Whew, sorry, I just blew a few junks. Hey my weak newbie, if your incredibly fragile ego can't take being wrong, that's not my deal. SEE A SHRINK.

Statement: "Caution: Bear in mind that this added startup requirement provides no additional protection once the computer is up and running. That is, if an attacker can reach your unattended computer while an administrator account is logged on, your passwords can be stolen. An attacker can steal the LSASS cache of hashed passwords and copy it to a floppy disk in seconds. Again, it comes down to physical security: Unless your computer is always guarded by a person or a locked door, be sure to log off when you leave the computer and ensure that all user accounts are password protected." ----------------------------------------- This article might be useful for those locking their servers. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000pro/tips/loccon.mspx Keith Duemling //end ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: JaredsJazz@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: adavid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: JaredsJazz@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist
