tguy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Windows Update all the way, I would want a fully patched server before I make it a domain controller so a minimal number of vulnerabilities are exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGGiTY Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Another thing you may not think of all the time... Install your support tools and resource kits before applying any service packs or updates. There are always updates to the resource kit in services packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Note: With SP1 and a clean install, you must configure Security first before grabbing updates as all connections are turned off by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
