Hi,

On the web page:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/plan-your-deployment/security/best-practices

one can read:

"We recommend that you disable the Windows Server operating system services that are not required on the computers where you install Skype for Business Server."

Which services should be disabled?

Best regards,

Skype for Business

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    You can try to run the following command “Get-CsWindowsService” in Skype for Business PowerShell. It will automatically filters out non-Skype for Business Server services. Then you can disable some services in your environment based on your situation.
