(for the benefit of folks who might go ... SBS puts XP sp2 on the
server? No it's a client deployment point so that all XP workstations
get XP sp2 offered up to them when attached to the domain)
How to install Service Pack 1 for SBS 2003:

We've typically done everything but the ISA 2004 install remotely.

OK, I must have logged in that way then. I was local that day, not remote.
Very, very good to know...I
have a couple more coming up next week.

What's the 5th part? I just did a full SBS sp1 install, and I *think* I ran
everything under my own
account - maybe not, but I generally do.
As far as RDP, I usually disable everyone's ability to TS in, and enable only
my own account. But I
always change the port to some weird random number, just to thwart the majority
of the script
kiddies.

Don't install the 5th part of the SBS sp1 service pack bundle then.....
'cause it kinda wants to be only run under that "500" account.
I've got a SBSer installing WSUS under an alternative Admin account and
the installs that he's done under the "500" account the computers check
in just fine...the ones under the alternative account are having
issues. He's applied the compression hotfix and done client side
targeting and still no go. He's redoing the group policy settings under
the "500" account now.

do business with would require that I use that or any specific

to be clear about this. There is never a time when it is acceptable to
tell me that I MUST install and run under a specific named account.
Any time I've been faced with that concept, I and my colleagues have
always pushed back on the vendor to specify exactly what rights and
any other pertinent details were needed. If they couldn't or
otherwise wouldn't provide the details, then we emphatically recommend
no sale. If that doesn't prevent the sale, we loop in the security
folks to accept responsibility for the compliance and other security
issues that this may introduce. If they were fine with it, then I no
longer have a stake in the game for that. Instead, I no have a scape
goat for anything to goes wrong ;)

There have been times in recent past that certain installs or

account down here in SBSland.
In Big server land... do you also find this to be true with apps that
need to be installed on the server?
For many of you you are obviously remote admin'ing.
Do you ..when using that 500 account... accept the risk of that Admin
account/password over TS/3389?
Only over VPN? Only use that 500 account in certain
vlans/subnets/whatevers that obviously we in SBSland never carve
up our
domain structures in?
For SOX purposes only have a documented use of that 500 account?
For all other times do you use admin equivalent?
