Or: Is there a reason to even have/use the Internet on a server at all (Hint: Usually NO).
IE upgrades on my servers is very low on my list. From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:egold...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 5:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: IE9 on servers? How about a different perspective . I would ask, 'what is the business requirement to upgrade IE to version 9 ?' No requirement, no install. If the previous version suffices and doesn't expose more of a vulnerability, then don't fix what isn't broken.

' From: Malcolm Reitz [mailto:malcolm.re...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 5:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IE9 on servers? We are updating our Windows Server 2008 R2 build to include Service Pack 1. During this effort, the question of "why not include IE9 at the same time?" was brought up. We discourage browsing from servers anyway, so it may not matter much other than keeping the build more current (possibly more secure or requiring fewer patches). I like keeping current, but I typically have somewhat of an aversion to deploying brand new, just released apps on our servers. Thoughts from the list?
