I was an early advocate of MS SBS and ran into a "minor" issue with it's security. It seems the SBS team decided to hard code the administrator account name into the OS, so when you went in and did what you always did, rename the administrator to something else, you got to reinstall the system, while fighting a major case of Tourettes.... I guess that is one reason I have little respect for programmers, developers, analysts, etc. lol
