Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I will anyway since it does affect Longhorn too. We have students that have downloaded SAMinside.exe from the net that is allowing them to retrieve the SAM database, decrypt the passwords and take free reign of our domain. Is there anyway to stop this??

(dealing with old questions) I have no answer on the matter. If this matter is still an issue please post a new thread. I consider the question dealt with.Information is the most valuable commodity I know off.

I have an answer ;). You can use the syskey utility to secure the Windows Security Accounts Manager(SAM) database. You can download this syskey utility here: Syskey Certifications: MCSA 2003 MCSE 2003 Studying for MCTIP:EA&SA

Good man. shadowman123, let's see if the question / answer is still current and of use.Information is the most valuable commodity I know off.
