with IIS5 is there any drawbacks or limitations
 
Hi;

I assume your talking about Internet Information Services.
Are you doing Web Hosting, FTP Server, or Mail server.
If not, you don't need it. Its just using resources.
If you are exposed to the internet and not behind a firewall, disable it without delay. It can allow your system to be used to bounce SPAM email through SMTP.

Ed Please let me know if the suggestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.
Sometimes you're the windshield... Sometimes you're the bug.
