Today's NetworkNewz,
is an article written by Dave Kearns and originally published
in Network World Windows Networking Newsletter, will take you
through what you need to look for when you are verifying your
security features of your Windows 2000 installation.
As always,
if you have any articles or stories that you would like to share,
send them to me and I will try to include them in an issue of
NetworkNewz.

we can draw is that Win 2000 security will be different from
NT, and it will thus be a bigger target for hackers hoping there
are vulnerabilities you'll overlook.
It's a scary
proposition, but one you can overcome. And Microsoft is willing
to help.
