Re: Windows 2003 remote admin access

Are they allowed to author web content ? particularly if it is in
and IIS defined application area ??
Has DCOM proxying over HTTP been enabled ?
How are you certain that there are no other allowed ports ?

Hello,

I have a query which is only apparent due to politics in the work place.
On a technical level I can quite easily stop this issue but am intrigued
as to how this can be happening?..

One of our Windows 2003 servers is being accessed by a user who does have
an administrator account, but does not have local access to the server.
From outside the local network the only permitted inbound access is for
HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP and FTP, all using the standard ports. There is no
remote access software installed, e.g. Remote Desktop, NetOp etc. How can
it be possible for files to be added / removed, permissions changed etc on
this server via these protocols? (Obviously the user can interact with
the services that are provided, but things are changing outside of these
locations).

Any ideas at all, anyone?

Thanks,
John
