I would be interested in this, as well.

We’re plowing through a worksheet for PCI compliance on our BlackBoard
Transaction system and the BB Sys Admin is trying to go through all the
services that are running (like a good PCI Compliant Sys Admin would
do….) to get the list down to only the necessary stuff (as required
by PCI).
 
Perhaps some/all of you have gone through the default running services
on an MS Server 2008 server and have pared down to the minimum possible
services.  If so, could you share the results with us?  
 
(This server is running McAfee, BlackBoard (and IIS)and is being backed
up by Commvault – so those processes are identifiable.)
 
Thanks for any input you may have.
