Professor Frink Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Early next year I will be replacing about a half-dozen servers, and the new ones will have Server 2003. I'm OK with making an unattended installation, and with doing visual tweaks and such.But I want to make sure that I set everything correctly for the sake of security and performance. So can someone maybe link me to a page that spells out recommended settings for Server 2003? You know, turning on/off certain services, that sort of thing. And since I know that it all depends on what the server will be doing:- Five will be straight file/print servers.- One will be file/print, plus a secondary WINS server.- One will be a primary WINS server, plus an application server, running a few things like McAfee ePO and Shavlik's HFNETCHK Pro. Thus it will also be running IIS and SQL.- No domain controllers, no DHCP, no DNS.I guess this includes unattend.txt, plus post-installation settings. Thanks for any input! EDIT -- After posting this, I found the "Windows NT4/2000/2003" page on the forum. Sorry, I guess I posted this thread in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
