If security is your focus, then do this:

1. Remove all trace of IIS, damn it to hell, stamp on the source CDs.
2. Install Apache

Job done! (Seriously). Of course, you can still fsck up an Apache install and have that as insecure as anything you like, but I assume some clue.

Hey Andy

Some very good stuff on the MS site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...s/default.mspx

has two links - IIS v5 Security Checklist (essential reading) and A Guide to Securing IIS v5

Also:

http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1312
and
http://www.windowsecurity.com/articl...rver_security/

HTH,

Chris.
