Do you allow clients to upload .exe files on your windows servers as it may contain malicous code and execute at any time. Is it worth it?

chmod 666 doesn't allow excute but allows read/write for all users. Id probably chmod it to 644.

You can remove execute permission inside IIS.

i've never admin'ed windows server, but isn't it same concept as anything else?

I mean I can upload an executable to a linux server and execute that but it's not going to be destructive as long as the server is configured correctly.

Just don't let people execute programs as root or admin or whatever windows uses these days.
