Hi Andrew,
The article Tom mentioned is in the works, but is not finished yet. I did
however, get the following link from it. There is some good information on
securing Windows 2000 and includes a list of services with descriptions in
Appendix A.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/
prodtech/windows/windows2000/staysecure/default.asp
Hope this helps!

| Hi Folks,
|
| I am coming from a UNIX/Linux world here, so please be kind!
|
| I have recently installed IIS 5.5 under Windows 2000. I have patched
| this server with all the service packs and hot fixes available, and
| followed many security guides on how to lock the server down.
|
| Under UNIX/Linux, I would normally disable all services and software
| that isn't needed, so for instance if the server was running Apache I
| would turn off finger, SMB/Samba and NFS etc. etc.
|
| I am aware that I can do this under Windows 2000 from the Services
| control panel, but what I can't find is a guide to what I can safely
| turn off for the web server to just be a web server. I did try and
| turn things off that I thought wouldn't be needed, but I ended up
| getting into a bit of a mess with dependencies and chose to re-install
| the server rather than work out what needs what :)
|
| Most or some of the services are self explanitory, but can anyone
| point me out to a guide where I can learn more about the services, in
| particular what I can safely turn off on an IIS server that is only
| serving web pages and isn't part of a domain or used for anything else
| oher than serving web pages.
|
| Thanks,
|
| Andrew McCall
