Hi!<br />
<br />
If you want to remove &quot;picture&quot; of your server from &quot;My Network Places&quot; or &quot;Network Neighbourhood&quot; you can use the following command:<br />
<br />
net config server /hidden:yes<br />
<br />
and wait for couple minutes. Server will still be accessible on network, if you don't use firewall.<br />
<br />

Hi!

If you want to remove "picture" of your server from "My Network Places" or "Network Neighbourhood" you can use the following command:

net config server /hidden:yes

and wait for couple minutes. Server will still be accessible on network, if you don't use firewall.

Hi<br />
<br />
I work in an IT department for a school within a University. The University has a network team that servers all the schools and that's hot on any dodgy network activity.<br />
<br />
I need to setup a small internal network in the office to test various services and speed up IT support processes (such as bypassing mac address registration for network use).<br />
<br />
My question is, how do I hide a server 2003 box on the enterprise network? I need to plug into the network to get Internet access.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hiding a server within an enterprise network

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
