all servers are whatever OS they are using are as secure as the services that's running on them. my philosophy is to keep only the ones needed and only apply patches if they address a problem you are suffering from.

My golden rule for this scenario is installing as little as you can and run as little as possible. If you have to use it then make sure it's patched. -----Original Message----- From: Juan B [mailto:juanbabi () yahoo com] Sent: 23 November 2004 12:17 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: which security hotfixs to implemet ? 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 ! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
