Choose the 3rd coniguration file to see a transparent mode. Configurations for level of transparency, font size, color, background, etc are kept in a xml file, You'll get the idea.
...You can expect them to be probing/asking if your tapes are encrypted.
Most backup systems don't have built in encryption, but you can work around it
It's pretty easy for windows when using something like backup exec 9.x +. In my situation, I backup a.bks file to a encrypted folder (Windows EFS where the.bks file takes on the encryption attribute) then duplicate it to tape.
Ntbackup supports encrypted files, but I'm not sure if it has a good duplicate feature or not:-/...Kinda important if you can't cipher your whole drive.
Of course you'd best be on the up and up with how EFS and certificates work and of course have a bullet proof PKI - or your kinda hosed during a bare metal recovery. I guess it does "add complexity to restores" but only those formentioned cases it's a well documented subject
What about deploying secuity updates for fire fox? Even though all the secuity patches for IE combined outweigh the Firefox installer, it would be nice if their was a SUS/WUS type server/utility that could deploy it automatically. Sure, you can use AD or something to deploy it (or for all you quasi-OU admins out their - psexec) but it be nice to not worry so much about security so we can spend more time doing really important stuff, like pandering to wimpering users destraught at their inability to format a word document for printing.

I'm not sure what you do (or rather don't do) in order to keep WinXP w/SP2 from acting up on you 3 times a week, but I wish more of my users were like you.
...Is what a lot of security auditor guys are basically saying. In all honesty, it helps to be up to date on the subject of security itself so you can counter any exagerations. It REALY helps if you find vulnerabilities in the machines they use to do the scan. Most do. You'll look smart, they'll look like cheats. (assuming you run snort and know your toolz)

xVNC.sf.net is a good for desktop support in the enterprise.
It's written in VB and is only for Windows 2000/xp workstations, but it allows you to browse the network and point and click installs on target machines. After your session has finnished, in uninstalls itself from the target PC without leaving a trace (no open ports on 5800!)
Oh yeah! it dosn't leave that pesky little V in the tray while running,either (totally stealth)

VB script has come and gone, so has WSH...losing support that is.
Was their another way to script registry edits back in 1994?

If your lazy, get the firefox plugin
If you're a slow learner or at work, get the IE extension
I don't don't know about anyone else, but I was foolish enough to show seasoned analysts the minor miricle of pivot tables.
Guess who the new data analyst is?
