I browse the server to windowsupdate.com to download critical updates with
no probs. We are running IE5.5sp2 on Ex5.5 sp4.

Do you go browsing from the Exchange server?

Our security folks are mandating that any system (desktops and servers) with
IE be at least 5.5SP2. This came about from the Nimda virus since we are
positive we got infected here via someone's web browser.

Also, we would like to upgrade our EMC powerpath software (our MSX mailbox
servers are on a symetrix), but it requires at least IE5.

My other choice is to simply leave IE4 on the MSX servers, stay with the
current version of powerpath, and block web browsing from our MSX servers by
adding their IP addresses in our netcache ACL. This doesn't bother me too
much, since we never browse from the MSX servers anyway. However, we don't
get the new powerpath, and my networking pals have that much more to
manage...

Just curious, why the need to upgrade?

I have yet to try it in lab. Right now, I'm just putting together a
feasibility report for our security folks. I thought I'd see how many people
have successfully done this to see if it's worth the trouble.

If we decide to upgrade IE, I will test, test, and test some more. but as
Admiral Lord Fisher once said: "The best scale for an experiment is 12
inches to the foot."

What happened when you tested it in your lab?

Is anyone running IE 5.5SP2 or IE6 on your MSX 5.5 servers? Any problems?
