Ok, have a 2000 SBS running exchange only. Had ISA running at one point but was giving too much grief. Last time I came in, I stripped ISA from the server at the clients request but he had a pitiful d-link router to put in. Well, he got hacked and Exchange was set open relay and hence a million emails passed thru the smtp... He's going to buy a decent router now, thankfully.

All that's been taken care of but I installed norton corporate tonite and had a time of it. Alot of the rights are changed, especially in the registry. Admin was stripped off ALL of the symantec keys. On checking, there were 4 foriegn accounts set up (now removed).

Is there a tool that anyone knows of to check the administrator rights on a server and in the registry and reset where necessary???

Use the mmc, and pick the security template snapin. They have templates for different servers that you can compare your present setup to.....
