Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0

Having worked with NT server since it was first introduced some five years ago now, I have seen it grow from a temperamental mystery into a stable viable workhorse for commercial application. There were some security issues around with the advent of trojans like BackOrifice, but most AV tools will clean these out. In five years of various deployments, no NT system I have ever worked on has been compromised, even with web deployment with IIS 1,2,3,4.

Windows NT 4 Server has been with us for a number of years now and yhis product is maturing nicely. Critics of it will say that it is insecure and cumbesome to manage. It is neither of these things. It is insecure because the people administering it have'nt tightedned up security - by default, NT is quite 'open' but it can be secured with relative ease.
