In my most recent scanning tasks, I've been seeing a lot of plugins 10898,
10899, 10900, 10914, 10915, and 10916. After some poking and looking at it,
it appears that this affects Windows 2000, and does not appear to affect
windows 2003 server. I've yet to see a Windows XP box with any of these, but
I've not done a really thorough test.

Does anyone know of a fix from MS to prevent account exposures (who has
never changed their password, who has never logged in, etc) other than
actually going in and changing their password? We found one to restrict
where the information could be read from, which blocked a path out of the
remote registry, but I was hoping for something else a little more official.
