Experience
Dave is right, just a simple comment like that in the ad and the applicants
will draw attention to any experience they have in that area. No different than

Thanks for that.

to the internet just doesn't seem right for some reason...
The main issue I guess would be someone executing a new IIS exploit
would have access to the entire internal network
I do it. Auditors are fine with it. Server loads are fine. Only a handful
of users though. My biggest concern was opening my exchange server to the
web, but the firewall limits the traffic to ssl and passwords are all strong
for my users. In the end there is in theory a second attack vector to
You can force everything to SSL, but a great deal of functionality in Exchange
is dependent on IIS.
