World Wide Web Publishing

Default Description:

Provides Web connectivity and administration through the Internet Information Services snap-in

Additional Information:

This feature is not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off the Windows XP CD by heading to under Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Select Internet Information Services (IIS) > Details button > Check "World Wide Web Service". Used for setting up a local web server. If you do not need this function, leave it uninstalled, mainly because this service requires IIS Admin to be running and IIS has been "popular" for crackers to break.

Additional Reading:

None at this time.
