DCOM, COM+ and distributed stuff

[vaughancoveny]

Nuhi something in Tweaks about 2nd of DCOMs being prone to worms, should the first Tweak ought to be disabled also?

What about COM+ for DCOM tweaks, you say there isn't much danger in removing it, but one nLite tutorial on the Internet begs to differ?

Don't have it bookmarked.

Then again, he prefers to keep WordPad when AbiWord is so much better and/or secure.

The only distributed stuff I am going to eventually use is Windows 2000 Server connectivity, networking in my Dad's IT Support college course

which requires Windows and Office XP or later so I better watch what I touch.

Not even Windows Update I am going to use, but since system administrators loathe poor deployment, I doubt whether that is part of the course.

Courses often have vague description. Could Background Intelligent Transfer Service, QOS application awareness and Network DDE be eliminated?

Also Distributed Link Tracking client needed for MyTheatre application amongst other things I suppose.

Hopefully VBS scripts are not needed otherwise if Altiris Software Virtualisation cannot execute them then I'll need to use complicated programs like

Virtual Sandbox. Same goes for insecure netshell, which is scripted so it might depend on VBS anyway.
