To remove the shutdown feature...
This was for the .NET server RC2 but I guarantee that it hasn't changed
since the release...

I've been using it since June and my very first impression (and the
first impression of everyone I've talked to who has used it) is hate for
the new shutdown feature. You are forced to select a reason you are
shutting down your computer and if there is an unexpected shutdown, you
are forced to explain why the computer turned off. Sure, this doesn't
seem security-related but I think it has everything do with security.
Microsoft is saying that their system is so secure you won't have to
almost ever shut it down, and when you do you'd better have a damn good
reason. I found myself shutting down my server quite frequently in the
first few weeks, installing software and SQL and such.
As far as secure by default, I am running the server behind a firewall
so I don't have the Microsoft firewall or any third party firewall
setup. I am running an FTP server (IIS), HTTP server (IIS), SMTP
server, POP3 server, and SQL. I haven't touched any of the default
security settings because I'm using the 6-month Microsoft evaluation to
test software on it. It's by no means a primary server, but here is
what NMap turns up on a portscan with the default security settings...
Port State Service
21/tcp open ftp
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
110/tcp open pop-3
135/tcp open loc-srv
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
1025/tcp open NFS-or-IIS
1026/tcp open LSA-or-nterm
1027/tcp open IIS
1030/tcp open iad1
1433/tcp open ms-sql-s
2105/tcp open eklogin
3052/tcp open PowerChute
3389/tcp open ms-term-serv
Doesn't look like the most secure box in my network, that's for sure.
