Windows 2008 versus Windows 2003 Server

Posted by boonchuan, 05-26-2009, 09:22 AM

With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box? Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?

Hello, 2008 is pretty secure out of the box. http://www.trainsignaltraining.com/4...08/2007-09-07/ http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com...295446,00.html However you can make additional configuration changes to better security.
