With all of the problems with viruses I would like to ask for opinions on installing Internet information Server on a NT 4.0 server just for intranet. I am not a real experienced Admin so I do not want to open my self up to more problems than it isworth. I have my server behind a firewall and I have up to date Virus program. What do you think?

Yep, that is about as safe as you can reasonably expect to get. Thousands if not millions of people have done what you're contemplating doing and often with less protection!

Check Microsoft's site for mandatory security updates, though. They've put out many patches over the years for various viruses and security holes that aren't built in to the standard install.

We successfully used IIS4 on NT4 for years and never had any serious problems.

Cheers,
Tim.
