I also get a 'not applicable' on advanced server DC.
For fun, go to www.antivirus.com, and do a 'free housecall' antivirus scan.
Microsoft had me do this as they felt a problem I had might be caused my my
antivirus software being infected. They told me to run the online virus scan
twice to be certain.
A rule of thumb I always follow is to first, pull the wire from the machine
(CAT5) install everything you can, Service packs from CD (The February
Security Update CD has a bunch of hotfixes SP4 etc for W2k, and even
security stuff and SP1 for XP) or just downlaod and burn to CD. Lock the
machine down with the Secuirty Advisor, or Shavlik, and when there is
nothing else you can do offline, go online and do a windows update.
(Remember you can download anything via the Download Basket from windows
update by hand, burn to CD, and install on your virgin machine offline.
Install antivirus software, update the definition files, scan for fun one
time. NOW go online, and when the machine is as up to date as you want it to
be, run dcpromo.
If you need to install software and feel your AV software is interfering
with a succsesful install, just unload or disable the AV software for the
duration of the install. Then, immediately, turn it back on after the
install is succesful. I have seen script kiddies pounding on a new Web
server 5 minutes after I placed it live on a public IP address, so don't
ever think that you'll be safe 'just long enough to download a service
pack.' if your ip block is known to be easy to crack, the kiddies will be
just waiting for your machines to come on line and get in before you can
secure them. If you have ONE MACHINE that has been compromised, every
machine on your network should be suspect. If you have administrator access
for an account, and check email with that account that has administrator
access, if they can fire up a sniffer on that subnet, your email username
and password are sent in plaintext, and once they see the first check for
email on your domain admin account, they can now login to that machine and
any other machine that you have access to.
