It' another app that you have to threat vector
Gee..what's this?
An upatched security issue in Outlook.
Network Security, Vulnerability Assessment, Intrusion Prevention:

What version?
Don't know do we? What method can they attack from? Don't know yet, do we?
Now... do you want that on your domain controller? Keys to your kingdom?
Grab the Threats and countermeasures guide... it prob says something
generic like reduce services on DCs or something.....

Hi Jorge/Neil,
I agree, there are alternative ways of notifying the service team via
scripting however, the manager is intent on using Outlook on the DC's,
I was looking for reasons why this wasn't a good idea security wise,
though looking on google etc I couldn't find anything concrete.
thanks

Sometimes I wonder where managers hear that kind of stuff...
If the backup program has the possibility to report if the status
of a backup is "OK" or "FAILED", then that backup util will most
probably have an option to send and e-mail. If it does not have
that option but it has an option to run a program after the backup
completed you could run a script which sends a log or whatever.
For example scripts see:

There is no need to install Outlook for this... (which IMHO
opinion would not be a good idea, installing outlook on a dc)
Cheers,
Jorge

Subject: [ActiveDir] Outlook installed on a DC
Hi all,
I have a problem whereby our I've been asked by a manager to
install outlook on our DC's to allow us to email back the services
team when backups have failed.
I am dead against this, I have just managed to split the DC & File
and Print roles and reduce the number of domain admins.
My gut feeling is against this, though I have no technical reason
why this is bad?
Does anyone have any views or advice on this matter?
Any scenerio's that could occur would be nice...
thanks
Frank
