Is booting in safe mode with networking a security vulnerability in Windows
Server 2003 Standard Edition? If it is possible can anyone please produce
any reference about it. I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm really not sure what your question means. If you mean, you have a server
you think is infected with something or is compromised, then yes, booting up
with *any* network connection is probably foolhardy if you want to keep the
rest of your network clean....

Thanks for the response. What I am trying to say is if the server is not
compromised, is it safe practice to be on safe mode with networking for a
long period of time?

Safe? Well, I guess so, if I understand you, but it sure wouldn't be very
useful to run in safe mode for anything other than testing/troubleshooting.
