Re: Host Company web on SBS 2003

Its all in how you're accessing OWA and RWW. If by https and port 443 then
port 80 can be totally closed. Are you saying that http and https access are
equally insecure and vulnerable?

Please explain how http vs. https means that IIS is less vunerable to
an attack.

Its fine if the answer is just not to host ANY sites on an SBS server;
but RWW and OWA are hosted on the exact same server you'd host your
public website on.

Saying you can host RWW or OWA just fine but then turning around and
saying you can't host a public website seems to be a contradiction to
me.
