What is the most (arguably) secure password a local user can have on Windows 2003?
Friday, July 25, 2008 7:55 AM

 

Chris M. might disagree with me on this but a blank password for a local account is arguably the most secure password that account can have! Now I’m sure that some of you will disagree but here is why.

1.      A local account using blank password in default setting in windows 2003 setup, can only logon locally.

2.      Again arguably all windows 2003 servers are in a secure location. Server room, etc.. If not and anyone can get access to the server then what does it matter if a local account has no password, since they will be able to re-boot the server and do whatever they like to it.
