All,
something to make you all feel better. I do this to all of 
my servers, but had neglected to do to my own 
workstation....duhhh.... There are several .exe's 
within the /winnt and /system32 directories that I 
typically remove administrator and system access to 
(in fact all but 1 user), I give just a local admin 
account, that I would be using when I log onto then 
server for maintenance purposes, full control. 
cmd.exe is one of those services. I have no reason 
for allowing the system to use this application, and 
quite frankly can't think of too many situations where 
the system will need this access either. It is a 
security issue. And a convenience issue as well, I 
guess. However with this change made, and with 
scripts allowed, the page is useless, it does nothing... 
A fix.. No.. But a good practice. IMHO. 

Chad
