    An  other  way  of  tackling the problem is going 'SNMP'. If you can find a
    hole  in that (write access, etc), you control the complete network. Why go
    specific  if  it  is possible to become "puppet master of then all".  There
    are some nice tools out there (commercial and open source) to find the SNMP
    services  and  play  with them (e.g. solarwinds, sans SNMPing and of course
    nmap).
    
    
    But more specific towards your questions:
    
    
    => smbrelay; smbrelay2 (Sir Dystic, Cult of the dead cow, man-in-the middle
    relay attack, a very fun tool  :-)

    This sounds like a test from within the company. As it seems that
    you will have physical access to facilities etc, would it be possible
    for you to install something like a hardware key logger on a network
    administrators workstation?
    
    If someone has physical access to the LAN, I don't see why they couldn't
    place devices on peoples systems. It may violate the rules for this
    particular pen-test, but is something to think about. I see that you've
    specified that physical access to Win2k systems is possible, and are
    interested in not modifying the administrator account -- hardware
    keyloggers
    seem like an ideal solution.
    
    What about wireless sniffers? Does the target use any wireless networking
    at their facility?
