http://serverfault.com – I would like to create multiple small computers with Windows 7 Pro, and would like to know how I can turn this client into a "dummy" computer. In other words, I'd like to disable anything in Windows which is not related to its sole purpose. Each machine will run a single business application only, and do nothing else. I have experimented with disabling unnecessary services and applications, and am currently online posting this question successfully with my limited Windows Services. These are the services which are currently running: And these are the processes (in exception of Chrome): M (HowTos)

Configure windows server 2008 50 weeks 2 days ago

I have a client server application in c#.net . installed the server application (Windows services) in the win server 2008 . The server application and client applications are communicated through TCP/IP and port number . But when i try to connect the client to server application it shows me an error as "Remote computer actively refusing the connection ". Could any one tell me what i missed .

I needed help on finding out, how to disable any particular TCP/IP port on a Windows box whenever,a need arises.

I googled before posting the question and i got links to articles mentioning only "disabling Services for a particular port" or " Disabling net bios ports" or port forwarding on a router" etc which didn't help much ....

Appreciate for any valuable suggestions on the same. Thanks :)
