Hello,<br />
&nbsp;We have a number of NT4 servers runing the IIS that comes with the NT option pack. We would like to run a more recent version of the VB Scripting engine (to get the class support). The IIS 4.0 scripting engine is version 3 I think, but its possible to download and install a later scripting engine from microsoft from <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting" rel="ugc">http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting</a>. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So the question is - are there any know security implications with doing this? Are there any know problems related to the version 5.x scripting engines? I have searched around, but mostly references to version 5.x scripting engines are related to IIS 5.0 and Win2k, we would like to continue to run NT 4.0 at least for the next few months.<br />
<br />
Thanks in adavnce,<br />

Issues with Version 5.x Scripting engines from Microsoft?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.
