Hi All:

A previous technician where I work installed IIS on a lot of Windows
XP workstations which was needed for an internal web application
(hosted on each PC) at my workplace. However, the technician did not
deselect the SMTP Service which is installed by default in IIS.

I want to go back and remove the SMTP service component from these
machines for security reasons.

Is there a quick command or a freeware program I can use just to scan
the local network for workstations that have the SMTP service
installed and or running?

When the SMTP server is installed as is the default, is it also
automatically running too? Or would that have had to have been turned
on also to create a security risk?

Thanks!
Drew
