And you probably run AD queries to track this down.The point is, this is not new, this is now more of a management problem, you wouldn't have a XP Home on your network anyway, and a little googling would have showcased this.
Vulnerability no. Deployment issue yes. Bob Fiero wrote:

Corporations build images of machines that don't have this.If you have this issue in your corporation, go talk to your IT guys and tell them to build better deployment images.If you have this problem, your IT guys are not doing their job.

During lunch you leave your notebook unattended assuming it is safe with a password protected userID. Your competitor goes in to the conference room and logs in with Administrator and installs something like eBlaster to log everything you do and email it to him. Far fetched, but not a non-issue._____ From: Mike Vasquez [mailto:mike.vasquez () gmail com]To: Jeremy Brown [mailto:0xjbrown41 () gmail com] Cc: MustLive [mailto:mustlive () websecurity com ua], bugtraq () securityfocus com [mailto:bugtraq () securityfocus com] Sent: Thu, 14 May 2009 11:02:38 -0400 Subject: Re: Insufficient Authentication vulnerability in Asus notebookOnce someone has physical access all bets are off, there's a lot the can do.1) steal it 2) boot off cd and reset/enable admin acct 3) boot off cd and grab all hashes 4) pour a perfectly good frappucino on the keyboard 5) cover it with smiley face stickers You get the idea.
