Windows server 2008 security help
| Posted by LP560, 03-19-2010, 03:01 PM | | I have just over 10 years experience with linux during that time I've managed to stay clear of windows server!
Anyway I have finally been asked to setup a windows 2008 server for 1 domain.
We now have the server up and running and I installed the free 1 domain plesk control panel just to make things a bit easier to use (for the web designer anyway).
Is there anything security wise I should do, is it like linux where I need to change ssh ports/disable unused services/apf/bfd/mod_security etc etc?
Any advice appreciated

If you are unsure about other security aspects, i suggest getting someone to do it for you

Is disabling the Administrator account and creating a new account with admin permissions necessary?
Surely there must be a few sites around for WS2008 tips?
Something like this but for Windows would be a good start if anyone knows of any:
