    If the server is also running IIS then you could use the techniques
    outlined by David Litchfield in his post on 5th March 2002 -
    Considerations for IIS Authentication. If you expand upon the techniques
    outlined in the post (below) and follow the error messages you can
    ascertain what accounts are on the system.
    
    Tested and it works for me...
    
    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Host: iis-server
    Authorization: Basic cTFraTk6ZDA5a2xt
    
    If the server responds with a 401 Access Denied response then Basic auth
    is enabled. If the server responds with a 200 OK then this means one of
    two things - the server does not support Basic auth (the most likely) or
    there is a system account on the server called "q1ki9" with a password
    of "d09klm" (most unlikely!).
    
    More information look at the orginal post:

    This utility helps automate manual login/password attempts.  Works
    pretty well for dictionary type attacks.  It's a bit slow, especially
    when you have two clients going at the same time.

    Something to keep you busy until TSGrinder comes out.
