grafx1 Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 Hi,what services to disable in server2003 if i'm using it as a workstation ?i'd searched for that but found guides for XP services only...Thanks.
Clint Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Well, it kinda depends what you are planning to use it for....and how "hardcore" you wanna go.Securitywise it's just the usual things, like remote registry and NetBIOS and so on..same as in XP.
Phyridean Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Just so you know, if you're going to join this machine to a domain, do NOT disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. You won't be able to access your domain controllers.
chilifrei64 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 That is not entirely true.. Netbios over TCP/IP should be enabled when you join the computer to the domain but is not required afterwards.. and on the server side.. you cannot disable this service otherwise you will have RPC connection issues in your domain.. disabling NetBios Over TCP/IP on the clients after joining them to the domain should not cause you a problem unless you have legacy clients
Phyridean Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Hmmm...I was under the impression that afterwards it was needed to access some shares such as SYSVOL, but I'd never had problems with it after joining, so I just left it on. Thus, I haven't tested it after joining the domain. Thanks for the info chilifrei
chilifrei64 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 yeah .. aslong as DNS is functioning properly... you shouldnt need it on the clients to access any shared folders... once again.. unless you have legacy clients
