Bit of advice, image that thing after you get it all up and polished. I'd bet large $$ they'll hose it again

I was helping a friend do a new SBS 2003 install last weekend. I was doing the Firewall stuff, using ISA. I looked at their old SonicWall box, and saw that, in the past, they'd been playing with opening the SQL port to the Internet.

we originally did, but they said they changed so much since that last install they'd just assume do a fresh install and image this new one..

The horrors... ugh. I was on the network end of a co-lo company that had a SQL server hijacked 4 times in one week like this. I think they finally just hard-wired the customer's port to 10mbit/s because they were SO dumb and now they just charge them for the bandwidth when they do Dumb Things (tm).
