Hello all. I am a Programmer/Administrator, and I need help with 1 server of mine. Just ideas, not money. :-) Well, this guy i work for, has a win2k server at an ISP servers farm, connected to the internet, with an ext IP. (192.XXX.XXX.XXX). Since he is cheap, he won't authorize me buy (almost) any software. Of course the win2k server is licensed, but he won't pay for anything else, so we are in the freeware market - I won't go pirate.
My questions: This server should be a web (IIS based) server, Mail server, and optionally FTP server. I know it's quite a lot, even for a Dual PIII700, but that's the budget. 1) I reckon I need a software firewall. any ideas? 2) as a mail server I am using Mercury/32 from Pegasus. cons? 3) I need a remote control program. pcanyware10.5? ( I know it'll cost me, but i think i can make him buy this one too) 4) is there any more security software I should use? Please don't answer with " You need a DMZ with 3 servers, a honeypot , a log server"... I know all that. I've been a Linux Admin for about a year, and built it from scratch. It's the windows security I feel puzzled about. So, please, contribute all your 2cents. :-) TIA. Idan.
