I will soon be working for a company and have been recently contemplating setting up IIS for their intranet. I figured it's already a part of NT why not utilize it. For document sharing etc.eventually remote access etc.. (They are running NT 4 Service Pack 6.)
I have heard some advice like having this run on a server other than the PDC.

I am new to the NT world could anyone please offer some direction,advice or reference material/websites on this subject? Can't seem to find much subject matter on this topic...
Thanks in advance for your help

I think that a good site to start with is the winnntmag.com. There you will find a discussion channel dedicated to IIS. It might also be a good idea to check bookpool.com you will find a lot of books there regarding IIS.

Best regards,

I have to agree, don't run IIS on your PDC. There are a couple of good reasons not to.

1. If you need to reboot your web server you don't have to disrupt your entire domain.

2. You don't have to expose your PDC to the world when you set up remote access.

I would install NT Server on another machine as a stand-alone server. Install a firewall before you set up remote access.
