If one [or more] of you on the list could be so kind to indicate a [many] resource[s] that lame hamstung admins would be wise to follow as guidlines to secure Windows systems.. it would be so much more productive. espcially for those lazy a$$ admins who may overlook the single [or multiple] missed step that lets them become owned, hacked, infected, unpatched, bugged, spewing, spamming, bots, rooted ....
