Given that we discuss a number of topics in this list, and that Exchange has taken its beatings at my hands, as well as joe's and many others - it's about time that there was some good news on the Exchange front.
Microsoft has released - as of yesterday - a hardening guide for Exchange 2k3. Not that any of what they are saying is exactly revolutionary, or other than good common sense, but that the Exchange team, too, has gotten religion. This, coupled with the fact that I suspect that Redmond is beginning to build fortifications around the Exchange team offices, because they know Joe is coming. And, when Joe Richards gets there in April - the shit's going to hit the fan. I just HOPE I'm close enough to enjoy the action. :o) Finally, I can't take credit for coming up with this. Susan Bradley, spunky Small Business Server and Security maven that she is, turned me on to this. I'm just editorializing and passing it on to the good folks on this forum. Enjoy! This book guides you through the process of hardening your Exchange 2003 environment, including configuration recommendations and strategies for combating external threats. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6a80711f-e5c9-4aef- 9a44-504db09b9065 Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone WebLog - www.msmvps.com/willhack4food List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
