Hi,
I found a user named 'sysadmin' in my windows 2003 server active directory.
I haven't created this user. The server is used for web hosting purpose.
There is no s/w other than windows and sql server 2000.


regards Aneesh

And the account is member of what groups ?
You could disable the account, and then examine the machine
completely for other signs of intrusion.
