Comment: a user in my company lost his office (vpn) laptop for
several days (win xp). but was later recovered from the
police.
being an enterprise domain user, and lots of confidential
data in this PC. what specifically are the things/areas we
need to check out both in this laptop and in the entire
domain to verify that an unauthorised user has not
compromised this computer, or even used this laptop to
gain access to our enterprise network?. this is w2k
domain, dhcp, wins, etc LAN with multiple remote sites

Reply: Assume the data/machine was compromised. You may also want to invest in a data Encryption program. Lots of companies are doing that now, and the Government is now starting to require it after the VA mess a couple of years ago. Life's more painless for the brainless.
