Things broke!

Look out for extra security settings that magically appear, new
services, etc, etc.  I have a personal vendetta against the automatic
download and install of service packs.  I turn it off.  Nothing like
having a server update itself overnight and come up in the morning
with some new spiffy security settings.

Look out for the restrictive firewall settings too.  I turn that off
as well.  One of my pet peeves with windoze is that it's too damn easy
to run workstation class software on a server.  Trim out all the anti
viral crap (you don't allow any of the "unwashed masses" to map drives
to your production machine now do you?).  Turn off the auto downloads
of everything under the sun (you don't really give a damn about the
latest update to Outlook Express because you've already removed it
right?).

You get the drift, trim down all the extraneous junk on those winoze
servers and you might find that they wake up and do some real work for
a change!   :-)
