Shutting Down Unneeded IIS Services

[dennisbeach1]

IIS was installed on about 30 of our servers to support trend Virus protection system. trend only uses HTTP and we need to shut down LDAP, IMAP4, NNTP and LDAP. How do we do that on NT/2000 and NT 4.0?

Trend needs IIS to update?! That's insane. Can't yuou configure one server to do the updates and then distribute it from there?

Make sure to run IIS only on dedicated webservers then- not on DC's.

Run add / remove windows components to get rid of the IIS services, then buy McAfee.

No rest for the Wicked.

We have over 60 plant locations and need to have a Trend server to update PCs at each location. Trend has no intention of not using IIS to do the PCs updates. We switched from McAfee years ago, it was a nightmare for us. This is to appease the braindead auditor and Trend is doing an excellent job for us. Much better than McAfee ever did. We just need to know how to shut down the extra services IIS loads.

Sorry for the short reply last night, was getting a little sleepy. You may want to look into E-Policy Orchestrator for such a distribution mechanism. If you must stick with Trend, I don't beleiee there is an easy way to disable individual components in IIS, it's pretty much all or nothing. Check out the add remove components, but Microsoft does not make this easy to do generally speaking.

Sorry.. Hope this is a little helpful anyway.

No rest for the Wicked.

If you select IIS in the add/remove components wizard, then press details.. you get a list of the various sub-components of iis which you can add/remove.

not sure about NT4.0 tho, but it might be worth a try!

Hope this helps
