Honestly, if you have to worry about changing the locations of tools that hackers might use, then you have a more serious problem. Do you think that changing the location of cmd.exe is going to keep a hacker (who has already gotten in to your network) from finding it? Get real. Take a look at some of these articles for securing IIS instead of playing around with system tool locations:

I am sure that there are many others, some of which may even do a better job of helping you to secure your webserver. But at least this is a start.

I am installing the system as a webserver and would like to remove all the tools that hackers uses from default location and place them else where then set the path in the environment. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: James Winzenz [mailto:james.winzenz@;inovis.com] Sent: 13 November 2002 13:41 To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Active Directory Password Policy Grief. 1. don't hijack threads 2. why?

Dear all, I tried to move cmd.exe from system32 folder in Winnt directory (Windows 2000 Server), after the move, I still find a copy of the file in System32. Any help?
