Uhm, actually, I am a network administrator for a company of 150 users (Toronto) and 58 (Montreal) and I have never seen an MCSE study book in my life. There goes that bit of nonsense. Now, the things I listed above are the basic requirements for setting up a secure Windows 2000/3 AD environment, and I (and my team) have implemented all of these measures. Not being a windows administrator, this may sound like really complex stuff for you, but its really the basics. Anyone with any experience would have an answer to the questions (one liners, I'm not expecting a speech). This guy says he is "hacking it up"; well if he is, I would hope he is hacking up a little more then just the desktop - or his "review" is pointless. Think about it, that would be like me installing a base copy of SuSE 8.0 on my desktop, farting around the security options in YaST2 and not really knowing anything about the underlying OS.

Thanks for the half intelligent response, very refreshing from most on this thread.
