Ok here is the situation:

Duringa routineSecurityAuditing, i checked thesecuritylogonServer1in EventViewer.
And I discoveredthat the securitylogcontains thousandsof events thatindicatefailedattempts atlogging infrom differentcomputers using thebuilt-inAdministrator accountonServer1.Localadministrator accounthas never been used.Isuspectthat someunauthorizeduser triesto accessServer1computerusing the builtAdministrator account.

I need to protectServer1from attacks in whichan unauthorizedusertries to use thebuilt-in(Built-in)administrator account,and at the sametime i have toensure thatusers continueto use the Server1computer as afile server.

Question:
