I'm confused as to what Windows Only mode will buy you
assuming that you don't use Mixed Mode logins for you day-
to-day activities on the server (so that no passwords are
floating around the network). Also, I guess what I'm
asking is: how can I keep someone out of sql server if
they're a local admin or network admin?
