all of your points are very good yet moot. The only way you can be totally secure is if they are not attached to the internet in any way shape or form and there are no machines attached to the network with removable drives or media. It comes from uncle sams secure network policies. uncle sam won't use nt for a secure server period. Haven't been involved for a few years but that was gospel.
