RE: w2k server compromised

My 2 cents,

Because I am always paranoid:

If this machine has been compromised "acting strangely", the possibility exists that:

  1. All of your usernames & passwords have been captured (via Lopht Crack) and this information is thus suspect.
  2. A rouge user has been injected.

Perhaps, exporting the user list, checking it against a known good list of users, then resetting all passwords may be a better course of action here: ***SNIP*** "You could use ADMT v2 to migrate from the infected domain into a clean domain, and it does migrate passwords." ***SNIP**

hey all

i just found one of the w2k servers to be infected and acting very strangely.
unfortunately it is a domain controller and it has all the users/computers lists.

Do you need help?X

how can i export these before reinstall in order to keep the exact same configuration (everything except passwords of course) ? i suppose this could be usefull to be done on a regular basis too...
