Okay hope some of you can help me on this. Our company has just purchased a Dell PowerEdge 2650 that we are going to send to Scolocate (Data Centre) for web hosting. This will be running a Veritas backup system, ASP web pages, JMail, Checkpoint firewall and a SQL server database.
Before handing over the system to the guy who is installing it into the data centre I have to do updates, install software and get relevant services sorted.
So far I have:
Installed and tested Veritas
Installed all Microsoft updates
Installed (Stats software)
Installed the site and SQL server database
Still to do:
Remove all network protocols except TCP/IP
Remove Netbios
Stop / Remove services
What services do I stop or remove? Does anyone know of a good document to follow for getting a web server running securely?
I will need terminal services to access the server and the guys who are installing it are installing Checkpoint Firewall.
Have I forgotten anything?
Also before site launch I will need to do load testing. I will also have to get a security audit or something similar done. Does anyone know of a good place to start for these?
