SAP necessary windows services

[Former Member]

Hi,

I wanna know what windows services are absolutly necessary for SAP. We are following a security guide for SAP Systems. It says is good to disable all windows services which are not used (telnet, messenger, wia...)

The most of our systems are Win 2003 server.

Anybody has a complete list of these services???

Thanks for all.
