asked on
passwords and versions
With basic domain user privelelges (i dont have local admin or domain admin), is there any way to check the version of a server in my domain, i.e. win2k, server 03, server 08 etc? And also, I am told there are local accounts on this server with blank passwords, is there any way from the command prompt to test if these users passwords really are blank? I dont want to RDP onto it. The servers are either win2k or server 2003. Is it possible to even have blank passwords on local accounts on win2k or server 2003?

surely surely there must be a NET command or similar to check if a local account on a server has a blank password?
I've understood your question, but local accounts relies on the domain passwords policy too, as soon are they member of the domain.

Does it?
That doesnt add up, as many many of our local accounts have passwords that are less (in lenght) than the domain policy which stipulates 10.
So in many cases as builds are based on an image, the local administrator account has a password that is only 8 characters long.
