safe and windows dont go together ... :)Win2K SP3 without IIS sitting behind an industrial strength FW/IDS solution should be safe enough. If you are planning to run Active Directory, make sure it is on a separate network segment, properly isolated from the one connected to your intranet/internet.

I would like to know what is regarded as the safest Windows OS as I need to set up a few new computers for system administrators to use and I would liketo use a Windows OS as the system administrators who will be using thecomputers have only experience with Windows. I know that the wisest thing to do wouold be to teach them how to use another OS like OpenBSD but it isn'tpossible. Thanks.
