GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner does a good job of scanning Windows
hosts.

You can also rename your local admin accounts.

Subject: Reviewing Security Policy

We are reviewing our current security policy for our Microsoft products.
We use MSBA all the time but we were wondering if there are any better free
tools out there to seek our vulnerabilities in Microsoft products.

How does every handle their local admin accounts for their windows desktop?
We are thinking about disabling the local administrator account via group
policy, has anyone ever attempted to do this?  Are there any other methods
we could use?


Thanks in advance,
Eric Sabo
