Microsoft advise that NBT (NetBIOS over TCP) and SMB (445)
should be disabled on machines that are in less protected
networks. I have a network which has a firewall permiting
only web access to a web server behind it. I would like to
also disable NBT and SMB on this machine to limit attack
vectors. However the web server needs to be able to access
a file share on another adjacent machine so this will not
be possible? If I were to disable one of these transports
over the other which one is more secure?
