lol.. you want to check your information, if you really believe this.
I would fire you on the spot if you were a sysadmin and said this to me.
If your goal is to appear intelligent, you'll be seen as a fool.
If your goal is to discredit others, then you'll likely be discredited.
If your goal is to simply to learn, then you already know the secret.
Pretty incorrect since the majority of SysAdmin tasks rely on some basic RPC functions such as Network Connections and WMIC for enterprise system management.

You're better off securing against untrusted RPC Calls then removing them entirely.

Luckily I'm not a system administrator.
