Once the system is installed as you like, unnecessary services should be disabled
using the Services Management Console. Some examples of services you should
consider disabling are:
?–  Computer Browser
?–  Terminal Services
?–  Remote Registry
?–  Print Spooler
?–  TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Lastly, there are some hardening options that fall outside of the scope of the fi rst
two categories. One primary precaution that should be taken is to disable NetBIOS
on the WAN adapter. In addition, I would recommend that NetBIOS be disabled on
all adapters unless it is absolutely necessary.

This can be done in this way:
1. Right-click the WAN adapter and select Properties.
2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
3. Click Advanced, and then select the WINS tab.
4. Select the radio button option to Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP as
shown in Figure 11.3.

My last system hardening recommendation also happens to be the one I can??™t
adequately cover in a small section here. It involves locking down various aspects and
functions of Windows, user capabilities, and other components of the system, and
Configuring Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006 ??? Chapter 11 389
requires a great number of settings to be confi gured.
