The real question is... Why are unneeded/unwanted installed on your server?

i would not have any applications that are not needed on my servers,
even stripping services that aren't necessary, leaving more disk
space, and removing the possibility of a security incident.

Hi,
I ran microsoft baseline security against our IIS web
servers.
the output ( for example) on some servers was that
there are some critical updates related to windows
media player which I need to implement ,my question
is: Do I really need to implement fixes to
applications that I dont use ( but still are installed
on the server) on those servers (like windwos media
player that we dont use on our web servers? ).

thanks !
