That's fine for a non-MS view of the world (admittedly, a view I prefer), but then you've got to allow TCP 138/139 to all the MS servers in your organisation (why couldn't they seperate auth from file sharing from...). And then whatever protocols Outlook uses to talk to your Exchange servers (and if I understand it correctly, that might be more than one to get to Public Folders, etc). And then SAP. And then Business App A. And the Business App B. And... And...
Again, but why does it talk to the outside world unsupervised? Your organization clearly has a border that separates its internal systems from external ones. Why not apply those restrictions on *those* borders? Alex
