Could you post the file you're using, or provide a link to it?  In order to answer your question, we'd have to be sure 
that there were no modifications to the original NIST template.  Also, it's important to know what version of the which 
template you're using (ProGold, or ProGoldPlus).

Not to pick nits, but if you're giving users access to "wsscript.exe", that may be the problem.  The file you're most 
likely interested in, if you're referring to Windows Scripting Host and not some internal application, is "wscript.exe" 
(minus one 's').  A small thing, I know, but more than one program or script has bombed due to misspellings...

Are you sure that's a good idea, particularly for your environment?  The Principle of Least Privilege (a "Very Good 
Thing"(tm)) says that we shouldn't turn on all services...
