Re: Boot floppy

Sounds like you are being asked to crack a computer - maybe one that
the company owns, but then again, you personally are not the company.
Do check this out with a lawyer, and  you may want to get the
instruction in writing, and check that your boss is authorised to give
such an instruction.

But if it's a company PC, why isn't it on the domain, and why don't
you already have access? Can't you set policies in AD to achieve what
you want?

Like someone else said though, it's patch time for MS anyway. Why not
just take the box for an hour and stick the ANI/CRSS patches on it
while you're ghosting the hard disk?

cheers,
Jamie

PS. Better hope your employee doesn't read pen-test ;)
