Back to Setup Guide for Ransomware Protection
An additional approach to responding to a ransomware attack is to stop critical services on the server. One such service would be the Server service (also called the Lanman Server service).
The Server service: "Supports file, print, and named-pipe sharing over the network for this computer. If this service is stopped, these functions will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."
By stopping this service, ALL file access from the network to the server would be blocked. This can be done by adding the Start, Stop or Restart Service action as shown below:
“We are finished testing [PA Server Monitor] and are very pleased with every aspect of it ... [I like] routines for setup (could not be easier), pricing - compared to other products this is a bargain, interface, stability, reporting, and remote monitoring. The first week of use the program generated around a $1000 extra for us.”
