I recently built a physical Windows Server 2008R2 X64 Dell Server (R420). After installing all updates and Virus software and configuring the firewall, I had to change the host name. I changed the host name to New Win2k8 Server and then joined our corporate
domain. I then went to log in with RDP and noticed that I could log in with the old server name\Administrator credentials. To make sure the name wasn't cached in net-bios I tried this from another pc that is on the same network that I hadn't used to log into
this server before. Since I can't use a sniffer to see exactly what is going on I was wondering if anyone else could shed some light on this. I would think I could use this to remote into someone else's server if I knew an old host name and a password scheme
used. Thanks in advance, Phil Woodell.
