Select Administration and Other Options

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

On this page, you can choose administration options such as remote administration and backup, as well as other application options and Windows features that use services and ports.

The Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) enables those services that are necessary for the server, based on the roles that you select in the Select Server Roles page. Unnecessary services are disabled, and if you configure settings in the Network Security section of SCW, unneeded firewall rules are removed. Select the administration options and any other options that the selected server performs, that other servers to which you intend to apply this security policy perform, or that you plan to have the selected server perform.

Any option that depends on roles that were not previously selected is automatically excluded from the list and does not appear.
