The
File Replication Service
(FRS) enables files to be automatically copied and maintained
simultaneously on multiple servers. FRS is the automatic file replication service in Windows® 2000
and the Windows Server 2003 family. The service replicates the system volume (Sysvol) on all
domain controllers. In addition, this service can be configured to replicate files among alternate
targets associated with the fault-tolerant DFS. If this service is disabled, file replication will not occur
and server data will not be synchronized. The File Server Incremental Group Policy disables the FRS
to minimize the attack surface to the file servers on the network. For this reason, the
File Replication
Service
setting is configured to
Disabled
in all of the security environments defined in this guide.
Important:
Organizations using FRS on file servers or on NAS server systems to replicate data
across multiple servers must modify the File Server Incremental Group Policy or create a new GPO to
enable this service.

for HP NAS server systems using multi-
protocol communication support, such as Appletalk (AFTP), for Apple systems.
The
File Server for Macintosh
system service enables Macintosh users to store and access files on a
local Windows server computer. This is not a requirement for a standard server environment.
Therefore, this service is configured to
Disabled
in the three environments defined in this guide.

The
Indexing Service
indexes contents and properties of files on local and remote computers and
provides rapid access to files through a flexible querying language. The
Indexing Service
also
enables quick searching of documents on local and remote computers and a search index for content
shared on the Web. These features are not required in the baseline server environment. Therefore, this
service is configured to
Disabled
.
