Upgrade duration

Not technically programming, but computers in general. We were upgrading from one server to another last night. Microsoft SBS 2000 -> SBS 2003. The issues were security related. Most of the shares were naïvely configured, so a tightening of the security was on order. All the accounts were changed to Domain Users, from the domain administrators that they had been before. New security groups were added to keep data separate.
The problem was the machines themselves. Currently the machines are running with the account of the login as an administrator of the computer. This should be changable to an ordinary user, as I’ve put the respective privileges into the registry for the BDE.
Long and short of it. The upgrade was scheduled to take 1 hour. It took 2. Reasons – machines upgraded to XP service pack 2 along the way, unforseen security issues as some files within the shares were owned by a domain admin, not by the owner of the containing folder; caused by copying files from one dorectory to another – which brings along the privilege information (NTFS->NTFS). The security is really worth it! honest!
Of course, wireless is not enabled on the network.
