Not at all. This domain controller is in the basement of my house
where it sits behind a firewall. There is no external access to the
network and the domain controller simply provides me with centralized
management for my computers and those that my kids use. I run a web
server on the same machine to serve mp3s, photos and videos.

Not a problem for me unless my wife plans on hacking into the server.
Don't think that you and/or Microsoft understand every customer
scenario because you don't.

> Can you mitigate this. Certainly. Buy a web server.

I don't need yet another machine. The one I currently have is more
than capable.

There is no customer data. I don't need another computer. And there is
no boss.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once again... one size does NOT fit all.

> Don't put your web server on a DC ... EVER.

EVER? Then do explain why my family intranet needs a 2nd machine to
server web pages.

> Nuff said. If you ignore this, you can take Juan's "fix" and hang yourself.

Ignored because you believe that you understand my situation better
than I do. You do not.
