Re: [Fwd: IIS Installation]

Mark, I understand your problem, i have the same problems. Customers of mine demand running their apps on ms and iis, we have no choice. 70% till 90% of their apps are running only on ms and they want 1 standard. So a decision to choose another platform then ms is most of the time strategically and not functional. It's not the inexperienced person who decided which platform to use but the management of the company. It's up to use as consultants and developers to help those managments to choose for a more secure and stable platform.

I hear you, but at the same time I think it's important to point out the problems with setting up a product with known unpatched security holes, especially to an unexperienced admin. If someone has a box that's been running IIS for a while I would keep quiet but here's somebody who is trying to set up IIS for the first time which is irresponsible from my point of view since I'm the one who'll suffer. shall I forward this guy the onslaught of codered/nimda traffic I've been receiving lately from other people's compromized IIS installations to convince him? >regards, > >Jason
