[PEN-TEST] Deeper Penetration

I'm working on a NT 4.0 server that appears to have SP5, Exchange 5.5 SP3,
 IIS 4.0 installed.

It is running FAT on the boot partition (he said while sadly shaking his
head) and I have been able to copy SAM._ to the wwwroot directory, download
and crack it, (and delete it from wwwroot so no one stumbles across it).

I already know what is going to happen when I show up with the admin password
for this server. They are going to say this is just a member server, so
it's no big deal. We all know this is wrong, but I need to prove why. I
need to move on to a domain controller. None of the accounts or passwords
I received from the local SAM on this server can be used to directly attack
the domain. I need to establish a strong foot-hold on this server and move
deeper into the domain.

At this point I would like to install a keyboard capture program or perhaps
VNC. Problem is, the system is firewalled and I can't get the server to
download any tools. Suggestions anyone.

Standard Pen-Test disclaimer: This is a legal hack. :-)
