Firewall setup on SBS 2003

Control Panel > Network Connections
Right click on the Connection then select properties
Click the Advanced tab
Deselect Firewall

Do you mean ISA server as part of SBS premium?

If so then in Services - disable the ISA services, but I strongly suggest you don't do that unless you have a hardware firewall infront of the server.

Crazyone there is no advance tab!

Interesting, there is an advanced tab for me. Hmmm.
What exactly did you right click on?

On the Local are connection. Are you running Windows 2003 Small Business?

Thanks

I have Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

You can remove Routing and Remote Access under the admin tools, but it's not advised.

But what about the firewall configuration?

Thanks

After re-reading your question, I think I mis-understood your question.  The SBS install, takes a basic Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and turns into a machine running a domain contoller (DC), Exchange, etc.  These are resource intensive services and the machine will not operate as fast as a stand-alone Win 2k3 server.  It isn't the firewall causing the slowness, but a combination of the various components that make-up SBS.  The SBS machines I work with are significantly slower thatn their stand-alone server 2k3 counterparts, and their isn't really anything you can do about this.  You shouldn't need to reboot the machine very often anyway once you get it up and running in a production environment.

Is there a way to remove the extract stuff from the Windows 2003?
In another words make it the way it was before I proceed with the setup acomlishment? But not having to format and re-install?

Thanks

If that's the case, then why are you using SBS?  You should just go with Server 2003 Standard.

Because we already bought the license for SBS.
