Hi there,
Does anyone has any quick and simple guidelines to secure Windows 2000 Professional on Workstation Role? The following are done:
- WindowsUpdates for Service Packs, Patches, Updates
- Behind a solid firewall of CheckPoint
- Using Fixed internal IP from DNS server
Also, provided the following applications are running at workstation:
- Surfing internet using IE
- Checking email using webmail (Yahoo! and Hotmail)
- Using MS Outlook 2000 for accessing network email from MS Exchange
- Norton Antivirus Corp Edition 7.6 installed with latest updates
- Using messaging software with P2P, File transfer disabled. Uses only HTTP and port 25 for connections.
Noted: Please do not advise to change/discard any software mentioned above for security measurement although it may proven to be TRUE, as I agreed. But here I need some advise to make these to be the best settings and policy ever.
