I need to build a W2K box that will confine users who may be accessing the server from outside the firewall. Are there Services I can disable that would prevent a user from 'wandering' once connected to the server? Or would Microsoft's ISA productbe the way to go?

I can tell you how to do it but I need to know...

Exactly what should they and should they not be able to access?

Agree with the counterquestions about more detail. Just an addition: ISA, or any other firewall, is _not_ the kind of tool which helps in this directly. It can filter or block certain TCP/IP actions, but it cannot filter on the basis what people do once they have (legally!) made a connection with your W2K box for certain rightful purposes as long as they stay inside the same IP port. So locking down inside the W2K box is a better way to go, based on the counterquestions and the MS guidelines you should be able to find a good path in this.

Hope thiz helpz,

Additional info: The person should be able to perform as an account op or server op. They should not be able to discover any other network resources; they should not be able to map to any other devices; they should not be able to perform any function outside of the server they attach to.
