Pranks on XP or 2003 server?

So I'm doing a course involving the installation of 2003 server, and I'm forever battling with this guy who I've become friends with. Last week he got me good by using remote registry to get into my machine, enabling remote desktop via the registry then repeatedly logged me out. The swine!

Give me ideas for a suitable revenge!

That is if you have valid credentials to his box.

this is good! I did enable the messaging service, sent him a few insults then did the restart command which worked well. Also, I logged into his machine under c$ and placed as much as I could in his startup folder.

Wait, I never asked, but you have admin rights? Remotely go into his services and cause havoc. 😛
 
yeah! It's just a basic course to set up server machines on the network as part of an MCSA, so it's all standard passwords and the like. Which services are good to monkey about with?

 
Running DHCP? Turn that off, that'll keep him busy for some time.

Have a mic attached? Turn on voice recognition. If not, bring one in and hide it.
 
If he has the messenger service running you can write a cmd script to 'net send' him 11ty bn messages. They stay until he acknowleges them.
