Install and configure DNS on that server, that should help with the mapping dilema. By default, the server will be in a workgroup. I am not very fluent in the world of Active Directory and was just trying to keep it simple. How can I find out if the computer is already a domain controller? If you look at your Administrative Tool and can see 'Active Directory Users and Computers' then you more than likely are.
Spiceworks might have it classified as a Domain Controller for you too. The advantages of using AD are too many to list. I wish I could get a couple of the companies that I consult with to move to AD from workgroup.
It makes administration so much easier. That being said, you can still use that server as a file server. You would have to create AD accounts on the server for each of the users so that when they connect to the server they can authenticate. Again, using AD makes this a snap. Wes, don't be to intimidated by AD. For what you are wanting to use the server for, setting up the AD accounts is pretty much the same as setting up the machine accounts on each PC. If it's just a file server for 5 people, who aren't connected to any other larger network, I would have just gotten XP and used it for file serving - it's limit is 10 concurrent connections, and would be a lot cheaper than a server license.
Wes was saying that he doesn't want a Domain. If he ever wants a Domain, then what you said comes in to play. This is the way the old Windows server was setup.
Is there a way to just add the Windows Server to this workgroup and not have to do anything on the PC's? If you really want a "plug and play" file server, once you have setup your Shares, in the permissions portion, give "Everyone" Full Rights. Web permissions are specified on the Home Directory tab of your web site's properties:. By default only Read permission is enabled, but you can also allow Write access so users can upload or modify files on your site.
Script source access so users can view the code in your scripts generally not a good idea , or Directory browsing so users can view a list of files in your site also not a good idea. Web permissions apply equally to all users trying to access your site, and they are applied before NTFS permissions are applied. IP address restrictions can be used to allow or deny access to your site by clients that have a specific IP address, have an IP address within a range of addresses, or have a specific DNS domain name.
This opens the following dialog, which by default does not restrict access to your site:. The main thing to watch for here is that denying access based on domain name involves reverse DNS lookups each time clients try to connect to your web site, and this can significantly impact the performance of your site. The final way of controlling access to your sites is to use the Authentication Methods dialog box we looked at previously:.
Since web sites are prime targets for attackers, you probably want to log hits to your site to see who's visiting it. By default IIS 6 logs traffic to all content as can be seen on the bottom of the General tab of the properties for a web site or virtual directory:. The default logging format is the W3C Extended Log File Format, and clicking Properties indicates new log files are created daily in the indicated directory.
It's a good idea to specify that local time be used for logging traffic as this makes it easier to interpret the logs:. The key of course is to review log files regularly to look for suspicious activity. You can download these tools here. Sometimes you need to take your web site down for maintenance, and in such cases it's a good idea to redirect all client traffic directed to your site to an alternate site or page informing users what's going on.
IIS lets you redirect a web site to a different file or folder on the same or another web site or even to an URL on the Internet. To configure redirection you use the Home Directory tab and choose the redirection option you want to use:.
Finally, if sites become available you may need to restart IIS to get them working again. Figure 2 fig2. Figure 3 fig The external DNS server is not be able to resolve internal network host names. This can lead to the ISA Server firewall not being able to communicate with the internal network domain controllers and interfere with authentication.
Disable all non-essential services on the ISA Server firewall computer. We recommend that you do not use client applications that expose the firewall to unnecessary risk. Such client applications include Web browser or email client software.
Web browsers and email clients are major vectors of virus, Trojan and worm attacks. A properly configured ISA Server firewall is eminently secure; the addition of client applications can have a significant negative impact on ISA Server security. Install ISA Server Figure 4 Fig Figure 5 Fig Figure 6 Fig1.

Realm is a security boundary which allows user authentication within that boundary. If the user moves to other realm boundary then they need to re-authenticate to access. Realm feature provides greater security to Web server. This is a new security feature in IIS 6. This provides highly secure or lockdown mode.
On the right pane, a list of web service extensions and the status Prohibited or Allowed for each are shown. Based on your requirement, select a Web Service Extension name which is Prohibited, right click and select Allow to enable.
