Hi,

In the Windows 2003 Security guide, they give templates for each server
role. I would like to implement the Print Server one via a GPO linked to my
Printers "OU". I noticed that it only changes two settings from that of the
Member Server Baseline.inf file which is setting the Print Spooler service
to "Automatice" versus "Disabled" and the other is a security option. It
sets "Microsoft network server: Digitally sign comunications (always) =
disabled"

I was wondering if someone could help me out and explain why that has to be
set to disabled?

Thanks
