Thanks for you inputs.
I'd like some concrete data on Security issues with IIS. Do you know of any sites for this ??? You know how it is, I can't just go to management and tell them that it's not very secure, I need to prove it with data (To make this all the more interesting I'm contracting with a state agency right now... you can imagine the managers there....... No offense to any State "managers" in this group :-) !!!)
