<<why would you want to run a *firewall* on *NT*>> Because it runs great, gives great performance for the price and never needs to be rebooted? Keep your elitism to yourself please, this isn't the forum for it.

But your point is well taken... it is a bad practice. I can see it happening though. ie. before someone is finished setting up their firewall, they go to the checkpoint web page to create license keys, or windows web page to download service packs. Best practise: -delete unused services -single purpose all your servers. including firewalls.
