Re: Win2003 SP2 secuity problem



The best way to go about this is to turn the firewall back on,
then visit Microsoft Update to make sure nothing is seen as
needed. After that, install the optional Security Configuration
Wizard (there should be, or once was an icon for this on the
desktop) and then run it and define the server roles (SQL,
etc.) and apply the result.
For remote desktop access make sure you have also added
the allowed accounts and/or groups into the group defined
for that purpose on XP and W2k3 systems.
