No, as I *never* use the out of the box lockdown tools, I will always follow the manual instructions...
sorry, -----Original Message----- From: David Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 December 2002 13:51 To: CF-Talk Subject: MX Server installs and Microsoft Security Toolkits Microsoft provides a whole bunch of Security Toolkits to help lock down a server. For example there is the "Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer". Some of these tools "blindly" goes in and locks down a bunch of stuff that you are not aware of. Has anyone had problems running CFMX after applying security patches to Windows servers running IIS? As for anything involving security, it is a matter of degree. How much can you lock down a box before CFMX stops working? If anyone has any white papers or other documentation on this subject, it would be appreciated. I noticed in the Security Section of the Macromedia that the white papers that still have the Allaire Logo stamped on them with dates such as 2001. Hope Macromedia is a little more serious about security than this. It does not help the CF cause.
