I read an articale some time ago that stated that the
BUILTIN\Adminisrator account should be modified so that
the Admins of the Windows OS do not have SA rights to the
Databases in SQL Server 2000. I can't rememner the steps
of how to do this. Can anyone Give me the steps or give
me a link to an article that describes the steps to take?

Thanks
