| NOTE: Given the network-centric nature of Windows NT 4.0, the similarity of program code between the Server and Workstation products, and known default vulnerabilities in the "out of the box" configurations, it is advised that many of these checklist items be applied to office workstations. It is strongly suggested that the "Server" service be disabled from all NT Workstations in the office. Further, removing the "Everyone" group from the "Access this computer over the network" in the Workstation's User Manager will further secure the individual PCs in your office's NT environment. | |||
