IISADMPWD and Security

For the hardening process, it is recommended to disable any unnecessary
components, leaving only components that you are using. So if you need to
use the IISADMPWD directory, then it is fine to have it. It's only
recommended to be removed because it is not usually used and thus not
necessary.

Hope this helps!

| We want to use the password update to allow the users on a NT4 IIS4
webserver to change the password when they time out after ninety days. Yet
in the hardening process it is recommended that the IISADMPWD directory is
removed?
